"Are you afraid they are foreigners?"

"Recently, Dao's wife has been fighting every year, and young people have been dragged into the army. Our old bones can't hold on, so we have to hold on."

"In the past, we could still sell viola melons to foreign merchants as raw materials for dyes, but it's a pity that after the lock-down order was issued, we couldn't sell viola melons either."

"The quantity of viola melons is not enough for food. If we don't cultivate the land, we can only starve."

"If you need it, I can sell you these viola melons at a lower price."

Chapter 108

The village chief looked at the two girls behind Lu Ran, but his old eyes were dim and he couldn't see clearly.

But the two girls have good figures and fair skin, but they can be seen clearly.

I just thought it was Lu Ran's maid or someone else.

She became more and more sure of Lu Ran's identity, and felt that he was probably some rich foreign young master.

Be patient with his questions.

After asking a few more questions, Lu Ran spent [-] Mora to buy two baskets of viola melons and two baskets to express his gratitude.

I also asked the village chief for a package of other things.

Then Lu Ran led Shenzi and Lei Yingying around the village.

The two women saw that many gray-haired old people in the village who were more than 70 years old and more than [-] years old were still working hard.

According to the village chief, even if they cultivated endlessly from morning to night, they would only be half full for most of the year.

Because they also have to pay taxes to the soldiers on the front line.

Pay taxes to the samurai lords.

There are also Yebu people outside who will come into the village to loot from time to time.

The days were very difficult.

Walking out of Kontian Village, the village head thanked several people.

"May the god of thunder protect you!"

After walking out of the village, Lu Ran grabbed two violet melons, roasted them with fire in his hands, and handed them to the two women.

"Would you like to try the food they usually eat?"

Ying and Miko struggled for a while, then took the roasted purple melon.

The Son of God asked after taking it.

"Is there any sugar?"

"No."

"Wait, how do you eat without sugar? I remember that roasted zucchini needs to be dipped in sugar, right?"

"Can't you eat without sugar?"

Lu Ran pretended to be shocked.

"Do you think that group of old people who can't even eat enough to eat have enough money to buy a bottle of sugar that is now sold in Daozhu thousands of moras for a roasted purple melon?"

The Son of God was even more puzzled.

"Isn't sugar a bottle of 500 Mora?"

"500 Mora?!"

Lu Ran raised his voice a little.

"I'm sorry, but the price you mentioned was the price before the country was locked down. Don't forget, your rice wife doesn't have a mature enough sugar-making process."

"For the same portion of sugar, sugar from other countries is cheaper and more refined than the sugar made by your Dao wife's local sugar production method, even if the shipping fee is added."

"The fine white granulated sugar like dust that you usually eat requires tens of thousands of moras."

"Remember what was written in the book, the relationship between supply and demand and the cost of goods?"

"Combined with the current situation, I think you should be able to understand why the price of Daozu's sugar is so expensive now."

The Son of God is an intelligent person, and he already understood when he heard this.

No more squeaks.

"Oh, by the way, you can also guess how long my [-] moras will last in the village chief's house?"

Shadow thought about it.

"I think it might be enough for them to last for a month?"

Lu Ran frowned.

"One month? That's right, I'm afraid you've tried your best to guess how low the quality of life of the people at the bottom of Daozu is."

"Would you like to see this again?"

As he said that, Lu Ran took out the extra package that he asked for from the village chief.

As soon as it was opened, it was a pool of yellow and sticky, with a lot of wheat husk and viola melon meat that had not been completely crushed, and a few green leaves to add color, which made the food look even more unsightly.

Shenzi leaned over and sniffed.

"Yellow batter?"

"To be precise, it is a mixed batter mixed with a lot of wheat husks, a small part of wild vegetables, wild fruits and viola melon."

"It's not even a third of the white flour in it."

"Also... this blob has been stored for about a week or so."

Lu Ran suddenly lifted the object and held it in front of Shenzi's nose.

A strong rancid smell hit the nostrils.

Shenzi frowned and avoided, glaring at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran put down the things again with a smile.

"You may not believe it, you don't even want to eat this lump of food, but they usually put it in a rotten food, and they are reluctant to eat it."

"Because if you just knead those things together with flour, add a little salt, and add the juice of wild berries, the mass will at least have a good taste."

"Things that have a taste and are not dry or disgusting, that is food."

Hearing this, Ying frowned, slowly opened her cherry lips, and put the purple melon to her mouth.

Seeing this, Shenzi wanted to stop Ying.

"Wait, don't eat!"

Violet melon, although it can fill you up, tastes good after being dipped in sugar.

But if it is eaten raw directly, the taste is simply not flattering.

The shadow didn't stop, and with one bite, one-fifth of the viola was gone.

This one has a firm bite.

Suddenly, a bitter and sour taste erupted in her mouth, and this disgusting taste became stronger as she chewed.

"It's not tasty, it's much worse than dessert."

Shadow said.

Then he grabbed a small ball of batter and put it in his mouth while frowning.

The rough texture and a lot of wheat husks and wild vegetables make this batter extremely difficult to swallow.

Throat stuck.

Then, in order to eat the ball of batter, Ying picked up the viola melon and prepared to bite.

The always calm Shenzi wanted to eat when he saw the shadow, and suddenly became anxious.

"It doesn't taste good, what else do you eat?"

Ying didn't reply, and took a few more bites, and a viola melon just disappeared in Ying's hands.

Accompanied by the viola, she ate two mouthfuls of batter.

The Son of God was numb.

Ying frowned and thought for a moment, then said slowly.

"Is this what my people are eating?"

"To be honest, I don't like to eat."

"I don't think they should like to eat this thing."

"As a god, I do have to change something."

If it was before, how could Lei Movie know anything about circulation and supply and demand.

I only think that the sugar manufacturer of Daozuma is too hateful!

Actually raised the price after the foreign businessmen left.

They will directly order to force the local sugar merchants to lower their prices.

At first, perhaps the populace was grateful to her for the abundance of cheap sugar they could buy.

But in a few days, when Daozuma's local sugar merchants have no more stocks, he will not do it again.

The selling price is not high.

Only fools will continue to do it.

As a result, after a few days, the people of Daozuma will only find out.

They can no longer buy low-priced sugar from the normal market.

If you want to buy sugar, you can only go to the black market to buy it.

And the price is even higher than in the beginning! 940!
