After moving out of the residence, he took his whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 242 He doesn’t dare to mess with the people in Caifang Pavilion

When they arrived at the place, the young man lifted the curtain and looked outside, then shouted to the driver in front of him to stop, "Okay, get off the bus here. Miss Su, please get off the bus."

Su Nanxing got off the carriage first before waiting for the young man to come over to help him.

She didn't know the other person's name yet, so she asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Pei Hu, and I work beside Mr. Wei."

Su Nan Xing's eyebrows raised. It was hard to tell that Pei Hu looked so gentle, but his name was full of wildness.

She said: "Pei Hu, who is the biggest grain merchant here?"

"The Zhu family's rice business is in charge of Zhu Qi, the eldest son of the Zhu family."

Pei Hu said and started walking that way.

Su Nanxing followed behind, and after walking dozens of steps, he saw an extremely luxuriously decorated building.

She stepped directly in.

The people behind them also followed. As soon as the group walked in, the shopkeeper immediately greeted them inside.

"You two ladies and two gentlemen, I wonder what you want to buy? Here we have our new black rice. Eating more of it is good for your health. We also have pearl rice with better taste, or the cheaper southern silk rice..."

Although the shopkeeper saw that the four of them were wearing ordinary clothes, he still explained them carefully.

Su Nanxing didn't care much about things like rice.

She said: "How much can I buy? I want them all."

The shopkeeper was startled and looked at her in surprise, "You said you wanted to buy them all?"

"Ah."

"What are you doing buying so much?"

In this era of food shortage, buying so much food will inevitably make people suspicious.

The shopkeeper definitely doesn't want to sell it.

"Miss, you don't know something. Now that food prices have increased, it may be more expensive."

He saw that Su Nanxing and the others were not well-dressed, so he wanted to persuade these people to leave with a price.

Su Nanxing was not in a hurry to reply to his words. The capital was now sealed and they were entering and exiting secretly.

It is unrealistic to say that they were bought and sent to small towns for disaster relief.

It is unrealistic to say that disaster relief is being carried out in the capital.

There was an order from the emperor in the capital, and all sick and refugees were expelled from the city.

Those who stayed in the city were indeed safe, but they suffered for those who were expelled from the city.

The emperor only cared about his own happiness and did not care about the life and death of the people. Because he had to hold a annual banquet, he kicked everyone out.

Outside the city lies the wilderness.

Occasionally there is a village.

After the people were driven out, they were waiting to die.

At this time, Pei Hu interrupted: "This is an order from above. Don't ask."

Su Nanxing glanced at him when he heard this.

The man who had been so polite just now had a serious face now and looked at the shopkeeper coldly.

The shopkeeper was so confused that he didn't dare to ask too many questions.

The Zhu family's food came from a wrong source, and he didn't want to mix it up too much.

"Yes, but this food is indeed expensive now. If you think about it, miss, I will send someone to check the warehouse."

Su Nanxing responded lightly, "Well, go ahead."

The shopkeeper was a little confused, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and ordered someone to order the goods.

He recruited a waiter and whispered to him, "Just go and count one room and leave the rest."

"Yes."

The guy nodded and left with a few more people.

Then, the shopkeeper turned around and said to Su Nanxing with a smile: "Everyone, please go to the back room to drink tea. This stuff won't be cleared out in a while."

When the tea was delivered, the shopkeeper asked again: "Miss, where in the city will this goods be transported? I will ask people to load it into the car and deliver it to the lady."

Su Nanxing picked up the hot tea, blew a sip, and used the lid of the cup to scrape off the foam, "Send it to Caifang Pavilion in the west of the city."

The shopkeeper's hand shook, "Hmm...!??"

Send it to Caifang Pavilion?

Are they from Caifang Pavilion?

Caifangge should know how much food his family has, right?
He only gave one warehouse.

The people in Caifang Pavilion won't find trouble for themselves, right?
He suddenly felt guilty. After putting down all the teacups, he found an excuse to sneak out and asked the waiter to give Su Nanxing more food for the second room.

Soon, the food bill was delivered.

The shopkeeper handed it to Su Nanxing with a playful smile, which made Su Nanxing look at him a few more times.

Why does this man's smile get deeper every time?

Weird. But she didn't ask too much, picked up the bill and took a look at it.

The silk seedlings that belong to the south have the largest number of rice.

There are one thousand and fifty kilograms.

Eight hundred pounds of pearl rice.

Five hundred pounds of black rice.

Four hundred kilograms of Northeastern glutinous rice.

There are also some miscellaneous grains, such as oats, flour, peanuts, mung beans, soybeans, red beans and gorgon seeds, totaling thousands of kilograms.

The shopkeeper rubbed his hands excitedly on the side, "Miss, this is all I can take out, and I sold it all to the lady!"

Su Nanxing looked at the other party sideways again.

Somewhat speechless.

"how much is it?"

"Not much, just five, fifty thousand taels of silver."

The shopkeeper dare not make money from Caifang Pavilion.

But he would definitely not be polite with his boss's money.

By buying such a large amount at once, he could still make a fake account and make a little more money.

Su Nanxing looked away and played with the tea cup in his hand. It was a bit expensive.

The food is obviously not worth the price.

It was much more expensive than what she had bought in other cities before.

But this is the capital.

And it has gone through such a long period of famine.

Food prices are soaring, which she thinks is normal.

She not only wants to buy these grains for her family to eat.

That's when the medicine hall opens.

She will also give out free porridge as usual.

In this case, I will enter the palace tomorrow.

Then go to the emperor's private treasury and get the money back.

Su Nanxing took out a gold bar as thick as a baby's arm from his sleeve.

Snap! Slap it on the table.

"give change."

When the shopkeeper saw the gold bars, his eyes immediately lit up!
money! So rich!
He can bring out gold, he is worthy of being a member of Caifang Pavilion!

The shopkeeper picked up the heavy piece of gold and subconsciously took a bite. When he found that he couldn't bite it anymore, his smile became even bigger. He walked away with a smile.

When the shopkeeper came to her with the calculated banknotes, she took them, counted them, and put them into her sleeves.

Only then did he propose to leave.

The shopkeeper asked, "Miss, won't you sit down for a while longer until everything is moved?"

"No, if I miss anything later, I will send someone to find you."

Su Nanxing got up and headed outside the house.

The shopkeeper personally stood at the door of the building and sent Su Nanxing and the others off. "Miss, please don't worry. Everything small has been taken care of by the lady."

Out of Mihang.

Su Nanxing asked Pei Hu again, "Is there anyone selling medicinal materials near here?"

"Yes, it's quite far away, close to the east city gate. Miss, you'd better get in the car."

-

Pei Hu was a little curious in the car, "Why did Miss buy so much food? If Miss wants to transport it out of the city, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"It's okay, I'm looking for someone from Caifang Pavilion."

Su Nanxing put one hand on the edge of the car window and looked at the vendors shouting outside and the people coming and going with a relaxed mood.

"Miss Su really knows people from Caifang Pavilion?"

"otherwise?"

"I thought Miss Su was trying to scare them."

"Then you are indeed quite tough."

Su Nanxing smiled.

This man is so courageous. There are so many people in Mihang, so he can scare them without fear of being discovered and kicked out.

Pei Hu laughed dryly and scratched his ears, trying to relieve the embarrassment.
