Chapter 197 Borrowing Food
"Who are you? What do you want to do? You can't afford to offend our Zhao family! If you know what's good for you, hand over the antidote quickly, or you'll be in trouble!"
Faced with the threats from these people, Jiang Yue ignored them and ate and drank heartily at the table.
While eating the food on the table, she exclaimed:
"This suckling pig is so delicious, fatty but not greasy, and melts in your mouth. It's really good!"
Then he took another bite of the apple and praised it highly: "This apple is really sweet and delicious."
After eating and drinking, Jiang Yue told the two servants: "Help the shopkeepers up, and let's talk about business."
The shopkeepers shouted on the ground for a long time but no one paid any attention to them. They now realized that they were like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Jiang Yue looked at them and finally said, "There's nothing to eat at home. We need food!"
After hearing this, the shopkeepers showed pain on their faces: "How can you borrow grain like this?"
She was clearly a tough guy, but they couldn't do anything to her. The shopkeepers felt miserable.
At this time, a shopkeeper could no longer hold back his temper and begged Jiang Yue: "Miss Jiang..."
"Hmm?" Jiang Yue responded.
"I am the owner of Zhang's rice shop and also the head of the family. How much food do you think you need before you can let me go?"
When the shopkeepers heard this, they knew it touched their hearts and they immediately pricked up their ears and looked at Jiang Yue with expectation in their eyes.
Jiang Yue thought for a moment and said, "Someone asked me to deal with you, so I have to deal with one of you, otherwise it will be hard to explain. However, I am indeed short of food, so how about this——"
The shopkeepers' eyes darkened.
Jiang Yue was not lying. Princess Lingshu was in urgent need of food and had to deal with them.
It was just that she cleaned it up for him.
She went on to say: "I can let you go, but you have to give me enough food."
When the shopkeepers heard this, their eyes flashed with light, and then they looked embarrassed.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue asked: "Why, you don't want to?"
One of the shopkeepers gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Jiang, it's not that we don't want to, but Muchuan is short of food right now. It's really difficult for us to take out so much food."
Jiang Yue snorted lightly: "Then I will keep the shopkeeper for a while longer."
The shopkeepers sighed helplessly, knowing that they had failed this time.
Asked: "How much do you want?"
Jiang Yue said: "You all bid, whoever bids the highest can leave here; and the one who bids the lowest will stay here and let me report to you."
To deal with these grain merchants, we cannot let them stick together for warmth, we have to make them oppose each other.
Shopkeeper Zhang is smart. No matter what, saving his life is the most important thing, and leaving here first is the most important thing.
He was the first to express his opinion; "Okay, okay, my Zhang's shop will give you 200 kilograms of food, and I guarantee that Miss Jiang's family will have enough to eat."
Someone took the lead in surrendering, and only four out of five people could leave, and the rest began to get anxious.
Shopkeeper Li: "I will provide 300 kilograms of grain."
Shopkeeper Zhao: "I'll give you 500 kilograms."
Shopkeeper Wang: "I'll also offer 500 kilograms."
Shopkeeper Zhong: "I'll offer 300 kilograms."
At this, Shopkeeper Zhang, who had made the first offer, was dumbfounded and quickly added, "I'll offer 400 kilograms of grain."
.......
The competition begins, and every time someone calls out a price, someone falls behind.
Once they fell behind, the man would immediately chase the price. In the end, except for Zhang who offered 3,000 catties of grain, the other four families all offered 3,100 catties.
Shopkeeper Zhang had a bitter face and couldn't shout anymore. He really couldn't shout anymore.
There is only this much food in the shop, and there is no more to add.
And this girl has a big appetite, so this is a lot of food.
The weakest are eliminated.
The servants quickly prepared the pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and several shopkeepers began to write letters, all of which asked their families to send food over in exchange for people.
The letter was sent out quickly, and half an hour later, the families of each shopkeeper came to the door of County Magistrate Wang with food.
County Magistrate Wang covered his chest with his hands and acted like a coward. He was bound to take the blame.
Jiang Yue asked someone to check the grain, and after confirming that it was correct, she asked them to pull the grain into the yard.
Then she had the shopkeeper carried out.
Hand over the food with one hand and release the people with the other.
The shopkeepers had a heavy heart. Except for their legs, they had no feeling in their bodies. They didn't feel dizzy or have blurred vision, and they didn't stutter when they spoke.
Finally he asked Jiang Yue: "Since the young lady has let us go, can you cure the poison we have been poisoned with?"
People can't leave yet.
Jiang Yue said, "I was just joking with you guys just now. You are not poisoned. Go back and rest for a while and you will be back to normal."
After saying that, Jiang Yue turned around and went back to the small garden, leaving a group of stunned shopkeepers behind.
These shop owners originally thought that they had been poisoned, but now they were told that it was all a farce. They were very angry but helpless.
But now that things have come to this, they can only blame themselves for their bad luck.
In the small garden, Zhang was still lying there. Seeing Jiang Yue coming back, he closed his eyes resignedly.
Among the major grain merchants in Muchuan, he had the least wealth and the least grain. Did he deserve to be dragged out and punished?
The expected rope was not tied around his body yet, but Shopkeeper Zhang heard Jiang Yue's voice coming from him.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, do you want to get your legs healed?"
……
"Yes, I do."
Shopkeeper Zhang opened his eyes in confusion, suspecting that he was hallucinating.
Jiang Yue took a silver needle and gently inserted it into Shopkeeper Zhang's waist.
In an instant, Shopkeeper Zhang felt a tingling sensation in his waist, and his legs actually regained feeling!
He patted his thighs in surprise and found that he could actually stand up!
In his excitement, Shopkeeper Zhang couldn't help but want to kneel down to thank Jiang Yue.
He completely forgot that Jiang Yue was the culprit.
Jiang Yue hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't thank me. Remember to donate your 3,000 kilograms of grain. I'll ask County Magistrate Wang to give you a credit."
Magistrate Wang: "..."
"Okay, I'll write a letter and ask my family to send food."
Jiang Yue nodded: "Please ask Manager Zhang to visit and comfort the other managers when he returns."
With his life at stake, Shopkeeper Zhang has already spent all his own money.
Next, it depends on the grain reserves of the other four shopkeepers. Jiang Yue is not in a hurry to get their grain.
If nothing unexpected happens, these shopkeepers will come to us tomorrow on their own initiative.
When more than 10,000 kilograms of grain were piled up in County Magistrate Wang's yard.
Guard Xiao Zhou has already led people to transport food to the county government office.
Jiang Yue left the county and headed home.
