Taking space to escape famine, Sister Wan killed everyone along the way

Mr. Li suffers from rheumatic legs, which is difficult to cure in modern times, let alone in ancient times.

The plasters given to him were only temporary solutions and not a cure. He would go back into the space and study the effect of the plaster by adding some diluted spiritual spring water.

After leaving Miaoshou Pavilion, Qin Hao had calmed down and was no longer as out of control as before.

"Let's go buy some food!"

When the two arrived at the grain store, they saw a group of people gathered outside from a distance.

"The price of food has gone up again, oh~" A woman nearby was holding a flour bag, looking at the pitiful handful of food, and sighed.

"Big sister!" Qin Wanwan hurriedly grabbed her elder sister who was about to pass by and said, "Can I ask what the current price of grain is?"

The elder sister looked at Qin Wanwan, who was wearing the same rags as her, and started complaining about the current food prices as if she had found a confidant.

"Little girl, other grain stores raised their prices before, but this one didn't, so the price increases for other stores weren't much. This store used to charge five cents per pound for coarse flour, but now it's increased to eight cents. Brown rice used to be eight cents per pound, but now it's increased to eleven cents!

Once this store raises its prices, other stores will follow suit!

Well, as for the white rice and white flour, our poor family can’t afford them, so I didn’t ask.

Originally, I brought ten coins, which could buy two kilograms of coarse flour, mixed with bran, which could last me two or three days. Now, hey~"

The eldest sister sighed deeply and left. In this world, people have a hard time, and the poor have an even harder time!

Not only was there no food, there was no water either. It was so hot that people just wanted to faint, their tongues and mouths were dry. Even when they got home, they couldn't drink water in large gulps, they had to conserve it.

When will these hard days end!

Qin Wanwan frowned tightly and looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly, as if it wanted to dry everything out.

She had a feeling that the day would get even hotter.

The price of food will be even higher! In order to maximize their profits, those merchants may not be able to buy food in a while!

"Sister..." Qin Hao's brows were also tightly furrowed. They were poor people and could especially understand the helplessness of rising food prices and the bitterness of poor people's lives.

"Let's go buy some food!" Qin Wanwan made up her mind.

There were a lot of people gathered in the grain store, but not many of them actually bought anything. Most of them were just watching and waiting. Most of the people here were from poor families.

It is not easy to make money, and that little bit of money is used to save the family's life. If you buy expensive food, it is very likely that someone in the family will starve to death.

So, they are waiting, waiting for food prices to drop!

Some people who were more far-sighted seemed to have noticed something and were willing to use their family's financial resources to buy more life-saving food.

"Boss, what's the price of grain now?" Qin Wanwan wanted to know the price of all the grain, so she asked casually.

The grain seller glanced at her casually, and when he saw what she was wearing, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. "It's all written here, see for yourself!"

There was no consideration at all for the possibility that most people from poor families were illiterate!

Qin Wanwan glanced at him, said nothing, and looked at the sign on the side.

Coarse flour: eight cents per pound; white flour: fifteen cents per pound; brown rice: twelve cents per pound; polished rice: seventeen cents per pound; bran: four cents per pound.

Not to mention that coarse flour and brown rice have increased in price by three cents each, white flour and brown rice have increased in price by five cents each, even bran is sold as food, and is sold for four cents per pound!

The shopkeeper glanced at her, and seeing that she didn't move, he taunted her, "Little girl, can you read? Do you know what's written above? If not, let the person above read it to you! See if you can afford it. If not, move to the back and don't block the customers here!"

When the shopkeeper spoke, he almost raised his nose to the sky and looked at people with his chin. Qin Wanwan could even see the nose hairs in his nostrils!

"Hey, how can you talk like that? Who are you looking down on?" Qin Hao couldn't bear to see his sister being humiliated, so he wanted to step forward and argue with the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper still looked arrogant, "Tsk, poor bastard, what's wrong with me looking down on you?"

Qin Wanwan held him back and whispered in his ear, "Don't be impulsive. Impulsiveness is the devil. Someone will punish such a person!"

Her face was calm, and her expression showed no emotion. She said to the shopkeeper, "Thank you for your concern. I can read, so I can understand the price written above.

Could you please weigh out thirty catties of coarse flour, thirty catties of brown rice, ten catties of white flour, and ten catties of polished rice?"

The shopkeeper didn't expect that he was so short-sighted. The little girl asked for so much food right away. When he thought about how he had secretly raised the price without telling the boss, he felt angry.

"Hey, I'll put it on for you, wait a minute!"

The shopkeeper, who had just raised his head, immediately bent his back, and everyone rolled their eyes at his attentive look.

In just a short while, she was transformed from a poor maid into a young lady. It shows how snobbish this shopkeeper is!

Qin Hao wanted to say something else, but seeing his elder sister's confident look, he swallowed his anger.

But he still didn't understand why Ajie still had to buy grain from his house, as he was not the only one selling grain in the town!

What he didn't know was that Qin Wanwan had already discovered the secret symbol on the sign of this grain and oil store. It looked like the word "Si", and this word was also on the sign of Miaoshou Pavilion.

The shopkeeper's surname is Zhu. Someone just called him Shopkeeper Zhu, which shows that he is not the owner of this store.

The medicine prices at Miaoshou Pavilion have always been relatively affordable, and there are free medical consultations every month. If the owners of these two stores were greedy for money, the medicine prices at Miaoshou Pavilion would not be so low.

It can be seen that the price increase of grain in this grain store was caused by the shopkeeper Zhu who raised the price privately, and it has nothing to do with the boss behind him.

By the way, it seems that this logo is also on the sign of Yunnifang. This owner has quite a wide range of business!

Thinking of this, she looked up at the busy Shopkeeper Zhu, her eyes narrowed slightly. Since Shopkeeper Zhu was ruthless, then don't blame her for being ungrateful! Whatever he ate, she would make him spit it out!

Indeed, given the current situation, grain prices should have risen long ago, but the owner behind this grain and oil store has repeatedly prohibited the shopkeepers from raising prices privately, asking them to provide convenience to the people to the best of their ability.

But the prices of grain in other grain stores in this city have already increased slightly, and they are making a lot of money. Only their bosses are stupid.

If he were to say, it would be a waste not to make money from these low-class people. Since the boss is unwilling to make money, then he will have to give it to him. Anyway, the boss will not come to this small county town. As long as he manages it well, why should he worry about not making money?

During the two days of the price increase, he did earn more. In just two days, he earned almost half a month's wages. This is just the beginning. When the price increases further...

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Zhu's heart was burning with excitement, and he wanted to raise the price right away.

"Miss, your food is packed," Shopkeeper Zhu came over with the food and handed it to Qin Hao beside him. "You brought the bags yourself. Not counting the silver, the total cost of this food is 920 coins!"

Thinking about the 280 copper coins I will soon get, it will be enough to buy a pair of silver earrings for my concubine. Adding it to what I earned today, I can give the little baby a surprise tonight!

Thinking of the hot body, charming posture, and seductive eyes of the mistress...

Hiss~I can’t think about it anymore.

Qin Wanwan knew he was thinking about love as soon as she saw his expression, and she felt so disgusted. This disgusting person was really disgusting in every way!

Qin Wanwan didn't even give Manager Zhu a glance. She took out the copper coins she had prepared earlier, paid the money, and left.

The people who were watching on the side were envious when they saw the two people taking so much food.
