Chapter 2 Trading
Faced with Jian Zhizhi's sudden outburst, a group of people fell into rare silence.

Not long after, the man who spoke first took the lead again.

“If you can provide us with food, we will naturally not be dissatisfied.

But you can't just provide us with one or two steamed buns, right?Is there anyone else in our family? "

The man's tone was almost the same as before, but the words he spoke were a little bit strange.

After he finished speaking, someone next to him echoed:
"That's right. If we were alone, we would starve to death in this world. It's just a humble life, there is nothing to live for, but our family is still waiting for us to bring food back."

Jian Zhizhi was also puzzled. She still wanted to eat steamed buns. Did she think this was a steamed bun shop?

However, since these people are willing to reason, she is not the kind of person who is difficult to deal with.

Jian Zhizhi asked in confusion: "How much food do you need?"

"Wait, let's register it so that I can have an idea."

Jian Zhizhi walked past the two people blocking her, grabbed a handful of books on the counter, opened them and saw there was nothing inside, then spread them out in front of these people.

Jian Zhizhi looked at the embarrassment of everyone in front of him and guessed that they might have encountered some kind of disaster, and his tone became gentler.

Jian Zhizhi: "It's best to write down how many people there are in the family."

Although she didn't know if she could produce the food yet, it would prevent them from asking for her food randomly.

"I am Zhang Tong, and I live at No. [-] Qingping Lane. There are two people left in my family."

Zhang Tong is the former leader.

After hearing Jian Zhizhi's words, he did not put up a pen to write down his message, but muttered something with a faint look on his face.

Jian Zhizhi saw that he only thought about it but didn't do anything, so he had to do it himself.

There were about ten people in the shop right now, and she was worried that she might remember it wrong.

But when Jian Zhizhi turned the pen over the booklet and was about to write down what Zhang Tong said, he was surprised to find that there was suddenly an extra line of words on the originally clean booklet.

What a coincidence, it was exactly what Zhang Tong had just read.

The only difference is that the food Zhang Tong needs is also marked at the back of the book:

Fifty pounds of rice, thirty corns, twenty pounds of pork, and one chicken.

Jian Zhizhi looked up at Zhang Tong, only to see the man staring at her intently.

Seeing her looking over, Zhang Tong said:

"I hope Shopkeeper Jian will keep his word. I will definitely see the grain tomorrow."

As soon as Zhang Tong finished speaking, before Jian Zhizhi could reply, the person seemed to have evaporated and disappeared directly in front of her eyes.

Jian Zhizhi's pupils shrank when he saw this scene, the blue sky was full of ghosts!
Looking at the other people, I found that their expressions had not changed much, as if they were no longer surprised by this.

Who are these people?

Jian Zhizhi had doubts in his heart, and his eyes were looking at him.

I hadn't noticed it before, but when I took a closer look, Jian Zhizhi realized that apart from the same embarrassment, the clothes on these people had many differences.

It is similar to the rough cotton and linen blouse that Zhang Tong wears, but it is more delicate than Zhang Tong's blouse.

You can tell at a glance that that kind of fabric is more comfortable to wear than Zhang Tong's short shirt.

These people accounted for the majority, including those in short shirts, long shirts and robes.

In addition, there are 'generals' carrying spears and wearing dark gold armor,

and old ladies in modern shabby cotton coats and watchful women in summer dresses.

Jian Zhizhi's doubts became more serious, but she didn't intend to ask about their identities at this moment.

Jian Zhizhi asked: "Do you want to leave the food you need?"

Zhang Tong left, and these people didn't move or speak. Jian Zhizhi had no choice but to ask.It would be best if she didn't keep it, so she wouldn't have to worry about preparing it.

She herself had nothing, and after being 'imprisoned' in that inexplicable gray space, she couldn't help herself, let alone a shop.

The 'Shopkeeper Jian' in their mouth is definitely not talking about themselves!
Since the original shopkeeper dared to tell these people that there would be food for the next two days, he should be sure...

Jian Zhizhi's heart was high and depressed.

'He' promised smoothly, but now he asked her to do the work.

Just when Jian Zhizhi was wondering, the man in armor spoke:

"I am trapped in Sishui City in Suqi. There is a shortage of food and grass. There are only 5000 people left in the entire army. I will bring people to get food tomorrow."

When Jian Zhizhi heard this, his heart moved and his body straightened involuntarily.

When marching and fighting, food and grass go first, which shows the importance of food and grass.

In just a few words, he clearly explained the situation he was facing now, and it was obvious that the war situation was no longer in his favor.

Su Qi had already turned around, and just like Zhang Tong before, he left after speaking.

Jian Zhizhi sighed secretly and lowered his head to look at the booklet, which had recorded Su Qi's words.

But when Jian Zhizhi saw that the food Su Qi needed was almost one-tenth of the requirements of the gray space, his eyes turned black and his sadness disappeared without a trace in an instant.

What kind of pit is this? !

"My name is Li Cui, and I live in Taoshui Town. There are ten people in my family."

"I'm……"

……

After Su Qi, the remaining people left their messages one after another, and then disappeared in front of her one by one.

Only the honest man named Qingsheng walked very slowly. After the others disappeared, he turned his head again.

Qingsheng: "Shopkeeper Jian, we have been neighbors for so many years, can you... prepare the food for our family of five first tomorrow?"

Neighbor?

Jian Zhizhi was confused, was it true or false?
Jian Zhizhi sighed on his face and said perfunctorily: "Since you are my neighbor, can you come earlier tomorrow?"

Living so close, are you worried about not being able to get food?

Qingsheng's embarrassed expression softened, and he even smiled and said kindly to her:

"That's right, then I'll come early tomorrow."

Jian Zhizhi found that when Qingsheng left, his steps were much faster, as if the problem that had been bothering him for a long time was suddenly solved.

After Qingsheng left, the small shop seemed a little empty.

Jian Zhizhi took the booklet and was about to take a roll when he suddenly saw the birthday girl's name jump from No. 16 to No. 1!
Jian Zhizhi frowned. What she just said was considered as an agreement to let Qingsheng "go through the back door"?
Jian Zhizhi clutched the booklet and looked at the names on it with a heavy gaze.

Her move of leaving people behind may be a bad move.

If she only promised them that they would bring out food tomorrow, wouldn't she be able to give out as much as she wanted?
That's not right, Zhang Tong said 'one or two steamed buns' before she asked someone to write down the number of people, but that didn't appease them.

If the food she gives doesn't meet their expectations, these people will probably have to make a fuss tomorrow.

If you make a mistake, you must pay for it yourself.

Jian Zhizhi silently comforted himself:

In this way, it is clear what kind of food these people need and how many people need food.

Jian Zhizhi sighed, raised his eyes and looked around the entire rice shop, and then walked straight to the door.

Standing at the door of the shop, she could see what was going on outside.
