Quickly wear in the small world while eating melons

Bai Xiaohu often comes to the county to buy things recently, so he is very familiar with where to buy various things and their prices.

Bai Xiaohu found that the prices of various things had increased when he was shopping, especially food and drinks. The prices had increased a few days ago, and now they have increased again. The prices change every day. If his family hadn't given him some extra money just in case, he probably wouldn't have enough money to buy things.

Business in other shops on the street was slow, except for the shop selling grain, which was very busy.

"Oh my God! Why did the price of food go up again today? If it keeps going up like this, my family really won't be able to afford it."

"That's right. After this, my family won't be able to afford food anymore."

In addition to those who complained that the price of grain was too high and could not afford it, there were also many people who did not buy grain and begged the grain shop to sell more grain.

"How can the food be gone? Boss, please bring out some more food."

"Please, my family has run out of food. I will starve to death if I can't buy food."

As they were talking, some people even knelt down in front of the people in the grain shop, just to get them to give out grain to sell.

That’s right, not only has the price of food risen sharply, but they also limit the amount available each day, which is not enough for everyone to buy.

Bai Xiaohu managed to buy some food with great difficulty, but it was not much.

In response to the people begging on their knees, the grain store owner said helplessly, "Everyone, we have no other choice. It's not that we don't want to put more grain, but we really can't take it out. Now all this grain was bought from other places at a high price by our boss. The quantity is really small, so we have to limit it every day to barely maintain it."

"Stop surrounding us. We won't be able to produce any food if you continue to surround us. If you want to buy food, please come early tomorrow."

After saying that, he sighed and turned back to the store.

When the food handlers saw the shopkeeper leave, they immediately changed their expressions and left, saying to those who were still gathered at the door and refused to leave: "Stop gathering here. If they say there is no food, then there is no food. If you refuse to leave, there will be no food."

"Go away, don't block our door."

The grain shop owner and his clerk, one played the good guy and the other played the bad guy, and they cooperated very well.

Ordinary people certainly can't see through these tricks, but Bai Xiaohu often hangs out outside, so of course he knows these tricks.

There must be some grain in the grain shop, and quite a lot of it. Whenever there is a disaster, these grain merchants will leave the grain there and only sell a little at a time, just to sell it at a higher price later.

These profiteers!

Although he thought so, he couldn't care less about these things. He quickly put all the things he bought on the mule cart and left.

The people in the village all came to the county town together, but they dispersed after entering the city. They agreed to meet under a big tree not far outside the city.

When Bai Xiaohu arrived there, many people had already arrived.

The people who were squatting under the tree saw Bai Xiaohu coming back driving a mule cart, and they all came up to surround him.

"Well, Xiaohu, you actually bought a mule cart."

"Your family is really generous. You are willing to buy a mule cart."

"Xiao Hu, I remember your family already had a mule cart, why did you buy another one?"

"Xiao Hu, why did you buy a mule cart? This thing is not for eating or drinking. The most important thing now is food."

Everyone gathered around Bai Xiaohu and talked nonstop, but overall they didn't understand him. They thought he was just wasting money and had too much money to burn.

"We are fleeing from famine, so we will definitely have a lot of things to carry with us. We should buy an extra mule cart to load the things. Besides, when we are fleeing from famine, we will be on the road every day. When we are too tired, our family can go up there to rest." Bai Xiaohu finally interrupted and explained.

After hearing what he said, everyone still didn't understand. They had all the luggage, and there were so many people in their family, so they were not just decorations.

Besides, it doesn't matter if you're tired, just keep going. They're tired from doing so much work every day, but they still have to keep working. It's worth buying a mule cart to ride on.

They are ordinary people, not as pampered as those masters.

However, although they disagreed, no one expressed any opinions. After all, this was someone else's business and had little to do with them.

Although we are all relatives, we can't interfere too much.

Everyone naturally changed the topic and talked about what happened before Bai Xiaohu arrived.

Someone asked Bai Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, how much food did you buy?"

Bai Xiaohu took out the bag of food and showed it to everyone, "Not much, just this small bag."

The man saw that Bai Xiaohu bought about the same amount as him and complained, "The grain store actually limits the amount of grain I can buy. I can't buy grain even if I have money. With this little, I don't know how many days it will be enough for my family to eat."

The others nodded after hearing this. They only bought this little and were a little worried.

Although they still have some food stored at home and can harvest some from the fields, they don't know if it is enough under the current situation. Food is their lifeline.

Someone else cursed: "Those grain sellers are so ruthless. They sell grain so expensively, several times more expensive than before. They are simply robbing me. I bought less other things, and basically used all my money to buy grain."

The others who heard this felt the same way and started cursing the unscrupulous businessman.

These people are not like Bai Xiaohu, who often comes to the county town during this period. They basically come here once in a long time, so they are not very clear about the increase in food prices in the city.

Bai Xiaohu listened to their words and thought to himself, it doesn't matter now, maybe after a while it will be ten times more expensive and it won't be a big deal.

After everyone arrived, they went home together. Bai Xiaohu saw that some people bought a lot of things and asked them to put some of their things on the mule cart so that he could take them back.

After returning to the village, they did not delay, put down their things and went to help in the fields. There was no other way, time was tight, and everyone had to collect the food first.

After returning home for lunch and resting from the hottest period at noon, everyone went back to the fields to harvest crops.

Originally, they all ate two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and they didn't eat at noon. Especially during this period of disaster, they ate very little at each meal. If they didn't have to work every day, they would have liked to eat only one meal a day.

The reason why we had three meals today and the meals were especially solid was because we were harvesting grain today and everyone had to work hard. If we didn't eat enough, our bodies wouldn't be able to bear it. The villagers who had the means would try their best to make something delicious for everyone to nourish them, for fear that everyone would hurt their bodies.

This lasted another whole afternoon, and it was not until dark that everyone returned home exhausted.

Although it is tiring, it is worth it. According to their estimation, they can harvest all the grain by working for another half a day tomorrow.

Everyone quickly prepared their meal and ate it before going to bed.

Most people fall asleep as soon as they get on the bed, but some people lie in bed and cannot fall asleep.
