A guide to getting rich

Chapter 134
The stall owner was a man in his early thirties, with a thick face and a thick face. Seeing that the questioner was a little girl, he said, "It's not a good day."

Bai Zhi asked again: "Then why are there so many people in the market, I have never seen so many people in the past."

The stall owner looked around and sighed: "I heard that there was a flood in the south, and the refugees who were affected by the disaster fled their hometowns. Many refugees are coming to our Qingyuan Town. Think about it. Does the government have to take care of it? It has to take care of food and housing, right? It’s okay if there are few people, but what if there are more people? Then the price of rice, noodles and vegetables in our city must not rise accordingly?”

Bai Zhi suddenly realized: "It turns out that everyone is busy hoarding food!"

The stall owner sighed: "Let's not talk about it, I have to buy food. The meat is sold for nothing today. I heard that the price of the rice has doubled. If I go late, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it if I want to buy it." gone."

Seeing the stall owner leaving with his things, Hu Feng hastily tugged at Bai Zhi's sleeve: "Shall we buy it?"

Bai Zhi nodded: "Of course, if things go on like this, the price of this rice will have to go up in a while, and we're lucky today."

There was a long queue outside the grain and oil shop, and people kept complaining that one tael of silver could buy five shi of rice on weekdays, but today they could only buy three shi of rice.

The rice seller yelled: "Don't yell, come back tomorrow and see if you can still buy three stones of rice for a tael of silver."

Everyone complains and complains, you should buy it or you have to buy it. Floods in the south don’t happen once or twice. Every time refugees come, the price of food here has doubled. The price is one price a day, and everyone knows it in their hearts.

Those who are rich and far-sighted have already stored their food, and those who are rushing to buy rice now are all lucky and hoping that there will be no floods this year.

But the biggest reason is that money is tight and there is no money left to store food.

When it was Bai Zhi's turn, the boss asked, "How much do you want?" He had already picked up the rice bucket, and a little girl like this would buy one or two buckets at most, not more.

Bai Zhi smiled and said: "Boss, I want ten stone rice, can you give me a little cheaper?"

The boss was slightly stunned, and then he looked at the girl in front of him. She was thin and slender, with yellow hair, a typical yellow-haired girl, although she was wearing brand-new clothes, she didn't look like a child of a rich family.

"Do you know how much ten stone is?" asked the boss.

Bai Zhi nodded: "Of course I know, one tael of silver and three shi, and ten shi is three taels of money, why don't you just round it up and count me three taels of silver and ten shi, okay?"

The boss sold the rice for a long time, and sold a total of six or seven shi. She would have to pay ten shi this time, and the rice storehouse would be less than half vacant. Yes, but I don’t accept credit here, have you brought any money?”

Bai Zhi took out the purse, took out four taels of silver from it, and put it in the palm of the boss: "Here, three taels of silver for rice, and one tael of silver for noodles, help me put them on the ox cart." She pointed to the other side of the street. Hu Feng was standing by the side of the ox cart, looking at her.

The boss was overjoyed, so he hurriedly called the staff to weigh the rice and noodles and sent them to Baizhi's ox cart.

Hu Feng looked at the rice noodles piled up in the ox cart, frowned and asked, "What do you buy so much for? Have you finished eating?"

Bai Zhi turned her head, looked at the owner of the grain and oil shop whose mouth was grinning almost to the back of her ears, and said coldly: "Just wait and see, these unscrupulous businessmen who made the country's wealth difficult will learn the lesson they deserve sooner or later."
