Chapter 25 25. Big customer!
A pair of black goggles were exposed under the wide hat. She observed for a moment without blocking her sight, and then found a place to block her body and entered the space.

A moment later, a figure who was a little thinner than before reappeared, with a skateboard under his feet.

She didn't want to go on foot for a distance of twenty miles. Since there was a better way, why not use it?

Cheng Xi is a master who never wrongs himself, so he naturally enjoys it as he pleases.

With a little force on the ground with his left foot, his lower body bent, and the figure quickly stepped on the skateboard and slid out.

The villagers walking on the road only felt a "swish" flash in front of their eyes, and found nothing when they looked hard.

"?!"

".what happened?"

"Something just went by, didn't it?"

"Ah, it seems that there is, and it seems that there is not?"

Passers-by who walk doubt life.

What a hell.

It must be too much snow!

Cheng Xi slid all the way, and barely stopped until a mile away from the city gate. He found a place where no one was around and changed back to his going out attire.

No one noticed the anomaly from start to finish.

At this time, there were two armored soldiers standing at the gate of the city, trembling as they were about to sleep.

Cheng Xi: "."

She twitched the corner of her mouth and coughed lightly, successfully waking them up.

"who?!"

"Brothers, I want to go to the city."

"Entering the city? Oh yes, this is the city gate."

The two suddenly felt like a dream, rubbed their hands together and stretched out, "Give us two copper coins and you can enter the city."

Cheng Xi did as he did, and soon entered the city gate. Two voices of complaint came from behind him.

"Damn, it's too cold!"

"Who would have thought that there would be so much snow this year? It almost froze me to death!"

"No way, the door still has to be guarded."

"Not many people have entered the city in the past few days. It's snowing so much, who dares to go out?"

"It's because not many people came, so the four people were reduced to two. If you bear with it, you can change shifts later."

Cheng Xi, who heard the conversation, suddenly realized.

No wonder I always feel that something is wrong. I dare say that there are fewer people standing guard.

However, there were really few people along the way, so she raised the speed of the skateboard to the highest.

***
Due to the heavy snowfall, the streets of Fucheng were greatly affected.

The terrain here was originally low, and the heavy snow covered almost half of the city, and the snow on both sides basically did not reach the windows.

The originally bustling market was also closed for a little while, except for the necessities that can be opened, only the food stalls are left.

Standing at the intersection of the street, Cheng Xi glanced around, and he could see where he was going without too much effort.

——Without him, there are too many people queuing in front of the grain store.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, there is enough food in the store!"

"Oh, slow down, you stepped on me—"

"What? Hei Mian has increased by three pennies a catty? It's money grabbing!"

"God, let people live, you gang of black-hearted merchants!"

"Oh, I can't help it. It's said that there was a snowstorm in the north, so the food can't be shipped, so why not go up!"

"What's the price of that rice?"

"It's increased by two."

"What's wrong, the south has also been hit by a disaster?"

"That's not true, but there are more people buying, so the price will go up accordingly."

"Don't buy it, don't buy it, wait until the snow stops, I don't believe it will continue to rise!"

Cheng Xi: "."

There is no need to go in at all.

She was supposed to inquire about food prices, but thanks to this group of people, she knows everything!
Cheng Xi turned his head and left without stopping.

Compared with the grain store, the front of the grocery store can be described as empty - on a cold day, whoever has something at home is willing to come out to suffer from the cold?
At that time, the only clerk in the grocery store was huddled in a corner packing mushrooms.

The temperature has dropped to a new low in the past few days, and most of the other shops are closed, but his shopkeeper insists on opening.

What's the use of opening it?

Half a day passed, and he didn't see a single guest enter the door!
"Hey, what are you trying to do, don't I pay wages?"

Dude doesn't get it, dude doesn't get it.

However, in the next second, he was slapped in the face by reality.

"Boss, is there any salt left?"

"Yes, yes! How much salt does the lady want to buy?"

Someone, really someone, and a beautiful little lady!

The guy jumped up on the spot with a jerk, and looked at the only customer in the shop with bright eyes.

Cheng Xi gave him a strange look, and his eyes flicked across the merchandise one by one.

"How much salt do you have here?"

"Uh, it's a full 150 catties, my lady"

Why are you asking this?
"It's all."

Without saying a word, Cheng Xi took out three bank notes from his body and put them on the counter.

"All, all of them???"

Dude is stupid.

"Everything, that's all, right?"

"Correct."

"That's fine, I'll take it."

Cheng Xi was originally a resolute character. After paying the money, he picked up a sack with one hand and walked out of the grocery store effortlessly.

The buddy gasped, and was dumbfounded again.

"?!"

What just happened?Did he not wake up, dreaming?

However, the three 50 tael banknotes at the counter clearly told him the truth.

"No wonder the shopkeeper must keep the shop open. I dare you to know that there are big customers!"

He must have secretly read the almanac by himself!

Here Cheng Xi found a place where no one was around, threw two bags into the space, and started wandering around again.

First, I went to the embroidery shop to buy a lot of embroidery threads for Xingqi, and then took out the medicinal materials that Shen Xingluo gave him when I took them out of the space, and exchanged them for 200 taels of silver at the medicine shop.

"Now the purse is full again."

The previous 3000 taels of silver bills have already been spent seven or seventy-eight eighty-eight, and finally something has been credited.

Shennong Mountain is a big treasure house, and it is okay to buy some goods occasionally if you don’t have money to spend. This is much more profitable than selling food at the wharf.

"As the saying goes, the greater the risk, the greater the return. Economists do not deceive me!"

Cheng Xi decided to go often when he was free.

Even if you don't come across precious medicinal materials, scaring small animals can increase the fun, right?
For the last stop, she went directly to the inn in the south of Lin'an Prefecture, and sure enough, as Shen Xingluo expected, Cheng Daqian's latest letter from home had arrived.

"Xiaoxi, are you here to get the letter?"

"Yes, Brother Sun, do you have any news from the north? I heard that there is a snowstorm over there."

"Indeed."

Sun Xiaorong carefully observed the surrounding area, and took Cheng Xi to find a quiet place.

"The snow disaster in the north was quite serious, and many people died of freezing, and even people from several state capitals have decided to move south."

"so serious?"

"Your magistrate has received the news. Anyway, the price of food is likely to rise in the future. You should prepare more."

Cheng Xi was surprised, he didn't expect him to be so well informed.

But what happened to the pause just now?

Isn't the prefect Zhou Xuzhi's father?The son is not a good bird, and I guess I will not be too kind.

Cheng Xi glanced at Sun Xiaorong again, and gradually understood the meaning of his words.

"I see, Brother Sun, you should also prepare more."

 Thank you book friend 854049****66 for your reward!
  Instantly felt that I was taken care of, hehehe~~~
  Yuchen will continue to work hard!
