A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

There was no water nearby, which was also within Wen Meijiu's expectations. Fortunately, they stayed in an inn, so there must be water in the inn. Otherwise, where would their water come from?

"Don't worry."

Wen Meijiu calmed Ma Rulan down, took her to the front desk, and asked the shopkeeper:

"Boss, we need a lot of water to cook. Can you sell us some at a lower price?"

So many people need to eat and drink water, which must be much more than the bath water she bought before.

"Sorry Miss Wen, no."

The shopkeeper had a smile on his face, but he was not as easy to talk to as before and refused outright.

Bath water is so expensive. It's the same water. If they were asked to sell it cheaper by warm wine, they would be unwilling to do so. This is normal.

"Then let's follow the original price, eighty-five cents a bucket of water. Twenty buckets of water first."

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, and Wen Meijiu made concessions.

"I'm sorry Miss Wen, there really is no more."

The shopkeeper still had a smile on his face, but the light in his eyes was no longer the same as before.

Wen Meijiu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper also looked at her. The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time and no one spoke.

"Boss, what do you mean? Are you afraid that I can't pay?"

His face darkened, Wen Meijiu stood up straight, with a bit of hostility in his eyes.

The shopkeeper put away his smile, fiddled with the abacus beside him seriously, looked away, and said slowly:

“Miss Wen, I know you are a distinguished guest.

But when we open the door to do business, we not only do the business of sleeping, but also the business of eating.

Whether you drink water or eat meat buns, you will be full. "

It turned out that they wanted to monopolize the business, Wen Meijiu understood.

He clasped his hands together and placed them on the counter. Wen Meijiu looked at his fingers again and again. After a long while, he suddenly smiled and slapped his hand on the counter and said:

"Then please, boss, bring the seven buckets of bath water first. It's urgent."

The shopkeeper paused as he was fiddling with the abacus beads, then he came up with an idea and slowly closed his fingers.

"Sorry Miss Wen, that will have to be later. Our guys haven't boiled the pot yet."

"Oh, is it so?"

She twirled her index finger on her chin, then moved it to the tabletop, sliding her nails across it, making a back-numbing sound, and continued:

"It's so hot, it can be used without burning. I'll make do with it. Take it first."

The shopkeeper put away the abacus on the counter, stood it up, put his hand on it, and smiled hypocritically at the warm wine:

"I want to ask Miss Wen whether she wants to use it for cooking or bathing?"

Seeing his posture, Wen Meijiu was not afraid. She reached out and pulled the abacus under his hand, shaking it up and down, making the abacus beads rattle, and finally slammed it on the counter, pressed her hand on it, and looked at him with raised eyelashes.

"Does it make any difference? It's my own money, I can use it however I want."

After saying that, he pushed the abacus out.

If the shopkeeper had not reacted quickly and reached out to hold the abacus, the abacus would have almost flown to the ground and would have been smashed to pieces.

The shopkeeper saw that she was not easy to deal with, so he smiled again, but he still beat around the bush with her.

"Miss, you are right. But we have a rule here that we cannot use it indiscriminately. What if you use it for other purposes and someone dies or gets sick? What should we do then?"

This is a trap. If Wen Meijiu says that they are not responsible, and they put drugs in the water, and if something happens later it has nothing to do with them, they will say that they gave them advance warning.

If Wen Meijiu asked them to be responsible, they would use this to stop her, saying that water can only be used for bathing, not for cooking.

If I don’t cook for myself, won’t all these people have to eat and drink at their place?

They dare to ask for such a high price for a bucket of water, so how much food and drink must cost? You can tell from Wen Meijiu without even asking.

It’s okay to spend money, but I’m worried that with so many people around, it’s not safe to eat their food.

Of course, if eating is unsafe, then drinking water must also be unsafe.

However, buying their water is just a cover, and this cover must exist.

"Art, come out!"

The woman took Art away. There must be some conspiracy. Wen Meijiu shouted loudly on purpose to call Art out.

The shopkeeper panicked when he saw this, and quickly came out from behind the counter, stopped Wen Meijiu, and said:

"Okay, okay, ancestor, I'll do as you say. That should be fine, right?"

After saying that, he turned around and waved to the waiter not far away, asking him to bring over the seven buckets of bath water that Wen Meijiu had ordered.

The guy went and soon came out from the side door with three other people, each of them carrying a bucket of water.

Seven buckets, not one less, were lined up in a row and placed in front of the warm wine.

The shopkeeper pointed behind him and said to Wen Meijiu with some pride:

"Miss Wen, the payment has been settled."

Ma Rulan was very happy. There was finally water. Although it was a little little, it was better than nothing.

She ran to the door of the inn and shouted to the people outside:

"There's water, come in and fetch some water."

The people waiting outside were already anxious. When they heard this, they all followed in, including some who were already extremely hungry and thirsty.

"Good wine, please let me drink some, I am almost dying of thirst."

The first person to run in was Liu Kerong. She did it on purpose. She was angry that Wen Meijiu didn't want her, but it was also a fact that she had died of thirst.

In fact, she was not the only one who died of thirst. Many villagers had no water. Only she was the most shameless, as if the warm wine didn't want her and that they owed her something.

"Wait a moment."

Wen Meijiu thought that the water might not be clean. What if someone died after drinking it?

Her attempt to stop her was ineffective. Instead, Liu Kerong acted as if she didn't hear anything. She moved even more swiftly than before, lying on the bucket and drinking without even scooping the water in her hands.

Wen Meijiu closed her eyes helplessly. This girl deserved what happened to her. She was afraid that her family would cause trouble.

Liu Kerong gulped down the food in two mouthfuls. Just as she was about to swallow it, a fishy smell rushed to her head. Before she could straighten up, she vomited with a "wow".

Water was spit all over the floor.

Liu Kerong stood up with red eyes and shouted to Wen Meijiu and the others:

"What kind of water is this!"

Wen Meijiu and the others were stunned, and they all stepped forward, leaning over the bucket to look inside.

Because of the backlighting, no one could see what was in the bucket. They could only see a dark hole in the bucket with liquid shaking.

When they got closer, they could see clearly that the water in the bucket was very turbid. In addition to the dirt that had not yet settled, there were also a lot of fine impurities.

After looking at one of the barrels, Wen Meijiu pushed away the crowd and looked at them one by one.

Except for the bucket at the edge which is relatively clean, the rest of the buckets are more turbid than the other.

She reached out and stirred the bottom, and immediately layers of mud and sand surged up.

"Boss, what is this?"

Wenmeijiu was bought at a high price, but who wouldn't be annoyed if they bought water like this?

Wen Meijiu was being polite by not getting angry immediately.

"Hey, there's a water shortage these days. If you don't want it, someone else will."
