After the Hou family's mistress was reborn, the entire Hou family suffered disaster

The people who came around to join in the fun were so shocked that their eyes almost dropped to the ground.

"Eighty dollars?!"

"Brother, where did you get this? The most expensive rice these days is only thirty yuan, eighty yuan... Do you have money to burn it?!"

After hearing this, the strong man suddenly looked surprised: "What? You only have thirty dollars here?!"

"Isn't that right! I heard that there is a drought in some places, the harvest is not good, and the food is much more expensive!"

The strong man looked surprised and subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhou Wan.

A flash of joy suddenly flashed across Zhou Wan's face, and she hurriedly said: "Take it! We've taken it all! Thirty or forty dollars is fine! I'll take it all!"

There were many vendors among the onlookers, who had gathered around to join in the fun. When they heard this, they turned around and ran away one by one. They called on the store clerks to carry rice and grains over and rushed to pile them on the cart. , several carts were piled up in the blink of an eye.

If it weren't for the strong men guarding the front of the last two carts and not allowing rice and grain to be put in, the last two carts would probably have been filled too.

Zhou Wan didn't waste any time and started settling accounts with a wave of her hand.

All the rice she collected was charged at forty yuan per bushel, as if she only wanted the rice and no money.

She spent so generously, and others inevitably started talking about it.

So while the accounts were being settled, a grain merchant came over with a smile and said, "Girl, where did you come from? You still charge so much for a bucket of rice for 40 yen, how can you be so worried about losing money?"

"Loss?" Zhou Wan smiled and waved her hand, "It's not a loss, it's not a loss! We're all doing business, can we do a loss-making business?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the chaotic sounds around her suddenly became quiet.

Zhou Wan didn't seem to be aware of it, and she still just kept her head down, settling accounts and collecting money.

The grain merchant lowered his voice slightly and said: "Little girl, the fact that you received so much rice today is all thanks to our willingness to sell it to you, right? Don't hide it, let's make money together!"

The grain merchant winked at her as he spoke.

Zhou Wan moved her hands for a moment and seemed to be deep in thought.

No one even dared to urge her, and everyone looked at her nervously.

Some of the first people who came to watch the excitement heard it clearly. What these people shouted at the beginning was eighty yuan a bucket of rice!

Since you are doing business, the purchase price is naturally lower than the selling price.

If eighty dollars and a bucket of rice are not a loss...

Then this is a huge profit!

Even if you can’t eat meat, drinking soup is still nourishing!

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes were filled with expectations.

Finally, Zhou Wan sighed as if in compromise and said: "Okay then! I won't hide it from everyone. In fact, I came from Liangzhou. There was a drought in Liangzhou. The government had no money, but they took it. No rice grains are produced, no, a notice was posted in the morning to collect rice grains at a price of 150 yuan a dou, but in our area, the rice grains are now 1231 dou, so this is nothing. It’s profitable, so why don’t I come out and take a look!”

The crowd immediately exploded.

Some were so surprised that they wanted to immediately turn around and pack up and head to Liangzhou, while others calmly analyzed it.

The grain merchant who had just started talking to Zhou Wan had a shrewd look on his face. He was full of doubts: "Little girl, you have to be honest in business. This is too outrageous. Which rice grain store can make 150 yuan?" A fight of money?”

Or is it a notice posted by the government?

This is too outrageous! Which government would dare to take the lead in raising rice prices to such high prices? I don't want my life!

"Tsk." Zhou Wan frowned and didn't settle the matter. With a wave of her hand, someone thrust a ball of crumpled paper into Zhou Wan's hand.

Zhou Wan unfolded it and turned it around in her hand.

I saw the four characters "Official Notice" clearly written on the paper, with a bright red official seal stamped at the end, which was very eye-catching.

"Open your eyes and take a closer look. The one covered with this is an official seal. How could this be fake?!"

She directly pushed the notice into the hands of the shrewd grain merchant, with a hint of anger on her face: "I also feel that I can't handle such a big business by myself, so I share it with you, but everyone, I I don’t owe you anything! If you open your mouth and say I’m dishonest, maybe you think I’m just a girl and want to bully others!”

The grain merchant opened the notice with a suspicious look on his face and looked at it several times. The suspicion on his face disappeared completely.

It’s actually the official seal!

With the official seal here, all doubts seem to be frivolous.

The grain merchant chuckled, folded the notice quickly, and gave it to Zhou Wan again: "Girl, don't be angry, I just said it casually! To do business, you have to have a business attitude, right? That's it! Our family The rice and food I gave you will be given to the girl! Can the girl calm down?"

Zhou Wan said with a stiff face: "I'm not short of a few dollars from you! Just do it!"

As she spoke, she asked the strong man to get the silver according to the number she had just calculated, and handed it to him.

The grain merchant took the money and ran away. As he ran, he shouted to the shop assistant: "Go home and tell your wife that I have to go on a long trip and I won't be going home in the next few days. Go quickly. Go quickly." !”

"Hey!" The store clerk responded, and then went in the other direction.

At this time, everyone around them couldn't wait any longer and urged Zhou Wan to settle the money quickly so that they could go back and pack their things.

What's more, they don't even want any money and just run away.

After all, the government has issued a notice, one hundred and fifty yuan per dou of rice! Why are you still worrying about that hundred and ten dollars now?

Zhou Wan quickly settled the money. After the crowd dispersed, she collected some vegetables and meat on the street, filled the remaining two carts, and went straight out of the city.

On the way back, I brought too many things, so my speed was inevitably slowed down. After walking for four days, I finally entered Liangzhou City and went straight to the government office.

Magistrate Wu heard the news before they entered the city and stood in front of the government office early to wait.

Seeing Zhou Wan and his entourage coming from a distance, Magistrate Wu suddenly became excited and walked directly towards them.

Zhou Wan stood up and dismounted, bowed to Magistrate Wu, and said, "Don't worry, Sir, this matter has been handled very smoothly. I believe that a large number of grain merchants will come over in just a few days."

"On this trip, in addition to rice, I also bought some vegetables and meat, so I can give the people an extra meal tonight."

Magistrate Wu nodded repeatedly: "Okay! Okay! Thanks to Miss Wan'er!"

Zhou Wan smiled: "It's good if I can help you."

Magistrate Wu watched the creaking carriage pass by him, and tears flashed in his eyes.

Zhou Wan lowered her head, took out an account book from the cloth bag she carried with her, and handed it to Magistrate Wu.

"The food and grass we used for ourselves during this trip don't count. These are the money we used to buy things. Sir, please take a look."

Magistrate Wu quickly collected the account books, took Zhou Wan into the government office, and gave her the money.
