The space doctor girl became the favorite of exiled ministers

Chapter 201 Hoarding Grain and Salt (Part [-])

Looking at the soft and cute look of the little girl, Jiang Zhiluo felt overwhelmed.

This is too cute!
Pretty and cute.

He is also very smart and knows how to spend five cents on a piece of bread.

In particular, she has a chubby face, and she is very cute when she speaks.

Jiang Zhiluo wanted to reach out and knead, but she held back.

Jiang Zhiluo squatted down, looked at her and asked patiently: "Do you want to eat this bread?"

Qiao Mengmeng nodded obediently and said, "Yeah, it's very fragrant, and my brothers all say it's delicious."

As she spoke, she looked at her brothers around her.

That is, the scholars of the college.

Jiang Zhiluo took out the last two breads to Qiao Mengmeng and said, "Here you are, sister invited you to eat."

Jiang Zhiluo looked at the two, tilted her head and thought for a while, then took out another five cents from her pocket, counted the tens of cents carefully, and said softly, "Sister, two, ten cents, here it is."

Jiang Zhiluo thought the little girl was so funny, "You still have money in your hand!"

The little girl patted her little cloth bag and said, "Yeah, mother gave it to me, buy something to eat."

"Where's your mother?"

That tall and slender woman impressed Jiang Zhiluo with just a pair of eyes.

She was an extremely calm and steady woman, very different from other women.

Although I have never seen her face, just looking at her figure and eyes, I feel extremely beautiful.

Qiao Mengmeng said: "Mother has something to do, Mengmeng is very obedient."

Whatever she wants to eat, she will buy it herself.

Seeing her so smart and sensible, Jiang Zhiluo's heart softened, and she couldn't help but want to hug her.

It's very strange, she met the children in the village, and went to the town to sell bread and met some children, and she didn't feel like when she was facing a little girl.

"You take it. If my sister doesn't charge you, I will treat you like a sister and invite you to taste it."

The scholar who just wanted to buy the last two loaves of bread was too embarrassed to fight with a little girl.

What's more, this is the little lady whom their academy loves very much.

The little girl seemed to think about it seriously and said: "But I can't get something for nothing, I can't get things without spending money."

Jiang Zhiluo's heart moved, she felt that the little girl was well educated.

Jiang Zhiluo could only open her mouth and say, "Well, next time, you can treat my sister to something else."

Jiang Zhiluo was just looking for a reason to give the little girl bread.

The little girl nodded happily.

After Jiang Zhiluo sold out all the bread, she closed the stall and drove the ox cart away.

She is going around to buy grain and salt.

The county is bigger than the town, and there are several grain stores.

But after Jiang Zhiluo visited a few stores, she found that the price of grain had increased by a penny or two per catty.

"How come thick noodles cost ten cents a pound?"

It used to be eight cents a catty.

The shopkeeper was not surprised by Jiang Zhiluo's inquiries, it seemed that he had been asked a lot.

"Little lady, it's not that the price of food in our shop has risen, you go out and inquire, it's all at this price."

Jiang Zhiluo thought of what Mrs. Cui had said, and also thought about the food in the previous dream, her face changed and she said, "Why did the price increase all of a sudden!"

"Will the price go up after that?"

The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, but when he came back to his senses in an instant, he said lightly: "My little lady, it's normal for the price of the grain store to rise or fall. We don't know whether the price will rise or fall in the future. If you buy it Just buy it, if you don’t buy it, there will still be people who want to buy food later.”

The shopkeeper's attitude was very perfunctory and he was too lazy to explain and attract customers.

It's as if customers don't buy and there is no loss, which is not the attitude of doing business at all.Jiang Zhiluo went to a few grain stores, and the shopkeepers and waiters in the stores almost all had the same attitude.

It can be seen that they are not worried at all that the grain cannot be sold.

And they must have gotten some gossip.

Now that she knew the market price, Jiang Zhiluo should buy it anyway.

Jiang Zhiluo asked tentatively, "I'll buy more, can it be cheaper?"

The shopkeeper said: "Little lady, it's not that I'm not cheap. We also work for the owner. We can't change the price set by the owner at will."

Jiang Zhiluo's face froze. As far as she knew, the shopkeeper had some power in his hands, so he could naturally give customers some discounts.

But looking at the shopkeeper's attitude, she also understood something.

Jiang Zhiluo didn't waste her words anymore, she just said, "Give me two hundred catties of miscellaneous grain noodles, two hundred catties of fine noodles, five catties of red beans, ten catties of soybeans, twenty catties of rice, twenty catties of corn..."

Jiang Zhiluo bought some of everything.

She actually wanted to buy more, but she didn't want to attract attention, so she planned to buy some in every store.

Anyway, she has space and won't let people see anything.

The shopkeeper was shocked when he heard the amount.

He looked Jiang Zhiluo up and down, and saw that she was wearing coarse linen clothes, and she didn't look like someone who could buy so much food at once.

"Little lady, are you sure you want to buy so much food?"

Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said: "Sure, I'm going to do some small business. Shopkeeper, you can make it cheaper for me. If I buy food again, I will continue to buy it from you."

When the shopkeeper heard about the business, he dispelled his worries.

People who are in the pasta business do need a lot of food.

Although he had doubts, he didn't think much about it.

Just ask the waiter in the shop to help weigh the food, but it's not cheap for Jiang Zhiluo.

After Jiang Zhiluo bought it, she put it on the bullock cart, and then deliberately turned around to put the grain in the space, and then went to other grain stores to buy it.

In this way, she bought more than 600 kilograms of things, including various rice, noodles, grains and other crops.

Be prepared to be more at ease.

And when she went to the store to buy salt, she also bought some at various points.

Stock up on a lot of salt.

I wanted to save a little, but I still spent 13 taels of silver.

As a result, Jiang Zhiluo only had more than six taels of silver in her hands.

But she knew that she couldn't care about money at this time, food and salt had to be hoarded.

When walking back, Jiang Zhiluo put most of her things in the space, and there were a few baskets and baskets outside, making it impossible to see anything, and the baskets were covered with a layer of straw, so others couldn't see anything.

When I got home, it was mid-afternoon.

When Mrs. Cui learned that Jiang Zhiluo had bought a lot of grain and salt, she felt more at ease and said, "Just buy it back."

"Mom, don't you think I bought a little too much?"

"It's not a big deal, I plan to be at ease early."

"If there is nothing and the price of food does not rise, there is no loss for us to hoard the food. If we are really exposed to the price increase of food, we have nothing to fear if we have this food."

"There is still food and I feel at ease."

Jiang Zhiluo said seriously: "Mother, I went to the food store and the grocery store to check. The prices of all kinds of food have risen a bit. I tentatively asked, and the price will probably increase in the future, but it will increase a little every day. You can't see it." What's coming out?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Cui knew it well.

After having food, Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui should do business every day.

Everything seemed normal in the town and county, but a few days later, in late April, someone entered the village and started collecting grain.
