Don't panic when fleeing famine, the farm system is busy raising cubs to get rich

Chapter 24

"What...what are you doing? Don't mess around! I warn you!" Xia Qiyue faltered as she backed away, with a defensive look on her face, she almost turned her head and ran away.

It was only then that the shopkeeper realized that his expression scared the little girl. He quickly grabbed the strong men on the left and right, and then apologized with a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry, little girl, it's because I was surprised and pleasantly surprised when I heard you said that you were going to sell grain, and it scared you."

It is not an exaggeration to call yourself a little old man, because the shopkeeper looks quite old, with a long beard and a fairy-like appearance, but he runs a grain shop and does business. The image is particularly inappropriate.

Xia Qiyue stabilized her mind, coughed to cover up her embarrassment just now, then moved closer and asked again, "So you take it?"

The shopkeeper quickly answered the call, afraid that the little girl in front of him would run away if it was too late.

"Take it, take it, take it!"

"Then... what's the price?" Xia Qiyue asked.

The shopkeeper hurriedly opened the half-locked store door, stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, "Girl, go in and chat, the walls have ears here!"

Xia Qiyue looked at the open space around with a smile, where is there a wall here?But still boldly followed in.

It's not that she's not afraid anymore, on the contrary, it's useless to be afraid, she has come here, she has to live, if she doesn't enter the tiger's den, how can she catch a tiger's cub.

After she followed in, the shopkeeper said with a mysterious face, "Girl, the food shortage is not even a little bit, so the price will definitely satisfy you. Girl, tell me how many catties of grain you want to sell, how much is this fine grain?" It’s still coarse grains, how’s the quality? If you can bring the grains for the little old man to have a look at, then it will be better priced!”

Xia Qiyue reached out from the package she was carrying with her, and through the cover of the package, she took a handful of wheat from the space and handed it to the shopkeeper.

In the next second, she could see the surprise expression of the shopkeeper.

She didn't have any accidents. Space products must be high-quality products. This is a certain phenomenon, and she has nothing to be surprised about.

The shopkeeper was attracted by the smell of wheat and wanted to eat the wheat raw in his hand, but because of face, he looked up after looking at it for a while, "Girl, this wheat is a fine product, the little old man has not seen such full-grained wheat in three years." Don't worry, girl, at this price, the little old man will definitely not treat you badly, as much as this kind of wheat is in the girl's hand, the little old man will accept it."

"144 catties! You set the price, see if I am satisfied, and if you are satisfied, go get food!"

She only planted three stubbles, so that's just a little bit, and it's also because her land is too small, and when people travel across, there are tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, but when they come to her... a piece of land.

She might just be the foot-washing girl next to Tiandao's father, so she was taken lightly.

"So many... so good! Then... little old man's high-quality grain here is collected for eight copper coins..."

The shopkeeper pressed his fingers to count, Xia Qiyue listened, the corners of his mouth curled up, eight copper coins per catty?I was thinking too much. That was the price when there was no famine. Now that the drought has caused a famine, and there is no food to eat, can it still be the same as the usual price?

But she stood there calmly, observing the appearance of the shop.

It is true that there is no grain left, and it seems that there is no granary here.

Without waiting for her to observe more, the shopkeeper spoke. With a flattering smile, he said, "Girl, our high-quality fine grains are charged at eight copper coins per catty, but considering the current situation, the little old man will give you five times the price." , how about forty cents a catty for you?"

When he said this, he felt that the price was sky-high, and he was confident that the little girl in front of him would definitely agree.

Unexpectedly, Xia Qiyue turned around and was about to leave, not wanting to talk to the shopkeeper anymore.

The old shopkeeper panicked, this is not going to work, if more than 140 catties of high-quality fine grains are taken back and sold to those powerful or wealthy households, then not only will he double his money, but there will be many benefits, not only good for the grain shop, but also It is also beneficial to him personally.

"Hey? Girl, why are you leaving? Are you not satisfied with the price? This is already five times the price? Little girl?"

Xia Qiyue stopped, turned around, and interrupted the shopkeeper in a casual tone, "I said the shopkeeper, but you didn't accept it sincerely! The Su family in the east of the city knows? I sold it once at noon, and they paid ten times more." You bought it at five times the price, but mine is life-saving food, and you actually want to earn so much from it, are you not guilty?"

After Xia Qiyue finished speaking, she still turned her head and waved her hands, "I'd better take it to Su's house to sell it! I'll save myself from being cheated by you!"

When the shopkeeper heard this, his expression was a little flustered. It turned out that the little girl knew the market.

Yes, fine grains can't be bought at all recently, and those rich people don't care about such a small amount of money. If they can really buy fine grains, even if he raises the price to twenty times, there are still people who are willing to pay for them, and they will rush to buy them.

Thinking of this, he immediately followed Xia Qiyue who kept going out, "OK, OK, auntie, I'll charge you ten times, and don't bother! Is this okay?"

Xia Qiyue didn't go to Su's mansion because she didn't want to make a fuss anymore, and she didn't want to arouse other people's suspicions. This was exactly what she wanted, and she didn't hold back, she readily agreed, and then borrowed the cart from the grain store and went to take it away. The wheat in the space is pushed back.

The fourth crop that had been planted was about to mature, but she couldn't wait, so she sold these first, and then went back to the inn to draw a lottery, and she was about to eat dinner.

The shopkeeper checked and found that all the food was of this quality, so he happily gave the money.

A total of 11 taels and 520 articles.

Including the remaining 560 Bawen in her hand, she now holds 12 taels and 88 Wen in her hand.

Now you can draw another paid lottery, and there are still more than two taels of silver left.

Thinking of the exposed shoes on the feet of the younger siblings, the patched and patched clothes on the two children and the...

No, she still can't be too high-profile, just change a pair of shoes for everyone, forget about the bedding first, the weather is still warm anyway.

Go back, pass the grocery store where you buy sacks, and go in.

They don't have pots and pans, which is really inconvenient on the way to escape.

First buy a pot, five bowls and five pairs of chopsticks.

The waiter at the grocery store recognized her when he saw her, after all, he had just been here just now.

Xia Qiyue bought a small iron pot, which was really small, and the food it cooked was only enough for five of them.

Because the pottery pot was fragile, she chose an iron pot that was twice as expensive, but she couldn't buy one that was too big, as they couldn't lift it.

In the end, Xia Qiyue remembered that she couldn't even eat salt at home, so she asked Xiaoer to get some more refined salt.

But Xiao Er was dumbfounded, "I don't know what refined salt the objective mouth is talking about?"

"It's salt!" Xia Qiyue explained.

"Girl, didn't I know about the salt? Wait! I'll bring it to you right away!"

As he spoke, he ran to the backyard, and took it back not long after.

But Xia Qiyue was a little taken aback when she saw the salt that Xiaoer brought back in front of her.
