My mother-in-law actually married the prince

When night fell on the earth, General Li's carriage slowly arrived at Daqingyuan.

General Li reined in the horse and stopped at the city gate. His face was stern, and he looked at the soldiers guarding the city with concern. He then unloaded some food from the carriage and said in a deep voice, "Brothers, take this food first."

The soldiers guarding the city saluted hurriedly and expressed their gratitude in unison.

Lin Zhixin sat in the bumpy car, thinking about the store's affairs. She leaned out and shouted to General Li, "General Li, we have to go to the store first to make arrangements, and then drive to the border later.

"After saying that, she turned to look at Wang Shun beside her, her eyes firm and with a hint of anxiety.

Wang Shun nodded in understanding.

The two soon arrived at Daqingyuan's vegetable shop, which was Lin Zhixin's last branch in Qinglong Country. The carriage stopped and Lin Zhixin parked the truck about twenty meters away from the shop.

She jumped off the car lightly, opened the compartment and took out 100 bags of rice, 50 bags of vegetables, 50 bags of potatoes and 50 boxes of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Lin Zhixin frowned slightly, thinking about the arrangement of these goods.

She winked at Wang Shun, who immediately understood. He stood upright beside the car, guarding it vigilantly.

Lin Zhixin walked into the store, and the light inside was a little dim.

A fat man swaggered out, his eyes arrogant, his chin slightly raised, and asked in a bad tone: "Who are you?

What do you want from my dad?

Lin Zhixin was unhappy, but she still glanced around the store calmly.

I saw one man concentrating on calculating the counter bill, his fingers constantly moving the abacus beads; another was carefully wiping the counter with a focused expression; and another was quietly sweeping the floor.

Lin Zhixin's eyes fell on the price tag of the vegetables in the store. She couldn't help but be shocked and thought to herself: "Cabbage is 15 cents, potatoes are 13 cents, and rice is 60 cents. When did I set these prices?

She shook her head slightly, her face full of confusion, wondering, "Why is the business in this vegetable store so quiet? There's not even a single person queuing up to buy anything."

She decided to give it a try, so she walked towards the boy sweeping the floor, with a gentle smile on her face, and asked softly, "I want to buy 300 kilograms of food. Can I have less?

"The young man Xiaodong raised his head, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and said: "Of course, this is our price.

"When the fat man heard this, he immediately glared at Xiaodong, swung the fan in his hand vigorously, and scolded: "Xiaodong, watch your words.

Be careful with your skin." Then he walked out of the store waving a fan.

After the fat man walked away, Xiaodong quietly approached Lin Zhixin and said in a low voice: "If you want to buy something cheaper, then wait two days before buying it.

We will have a one-day low price here in three days.

"Lin Zhixin pretended to be confused, frowned slightly, opened her eyes wide, and asked: "Oh? How could this happen?"

"Xiao Dong said: "Everyone here knows it, I can't say more.

"When the person who was doing the accounting heard this, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Xiaodong, stop talking. When the boss comes and sees you talking to the customers, you can forget about doing this job.

"When Xiaodong heard this, he looked panicked and walked away quickly.

Lin Zhixin walked outside thoughtfully and found Wang Shun.

Wang Shun looked puzzled and asked, "Aren't you going to find someone to move the goods?

"Lin Zhixin opened the car door and got in, saying, "Let's not move for now. Let's get in the car and ask around. There's something fishy about the prices here. Let's go check it out.

Wang Shun nodded and got into the car.

Soon, the two drove to an alley in front.

Lin Zhixin took out two sets of patched clothes from the space, and the two quickly got out of the car and put on the torn clothes.

Lin Zhixin straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, and walked into the alley first.

The alley is narrow and deep, with houses on both sides where residents live. Most of the doors are closed, and only two or three houses have dim lights.

The two of them came to a small courtyard, and Lin Zhixin walked up and knocked on the door gently.

After a while, an old man slowly opened the door. With a hint of vigilance in his eyes, he stuck his head out and asked, "Who is it?

"Lin Zhixin's face was full of smiles, and she said softly, "Uncle, my sister and I are here to visit relatives.

Since I couldn't find anyone, I wanted to find a place to eat and stay overnight, but the restaurants on the street were too expensive and I couldn't afford them.

As she spoke, she handed over half an ounce of silver. The old man looked at them carefully. Seeing that they looked well-behaved and did not seem like bad people, he weighed the silver in his hand again, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then come in."

The two entered the small courtyard.

There are three rooms in the courtyard. The middle room is slightly larger, and there is a kitchen made of thatched hut next to it.

The old man invited them into the house and said, "I said, I don't have much food at home.

"After entering the house, the old man hurriedly told the old woman to go to the kitchen to heat up the food and shouted, "Guests are coming. Oh, I got it.

"An elderly woman came out and walked straight to the thatched hut kitchen.

The two sat down in the room. There was only a table, five small stools and a bed next to it.

Lin Zhixin looked at the old man with a friendly smile on her face and asked, "Uncle, I want to buy some food for my relatives tomorrow.

I'd like to ask where I can buy food?"

The old man sighed and said slowly, "We sell it at the Four Seasons Vegetable Shop on the street.

"Lin Zhixin pretended to be surprised and said, "I just came from the store, and I saw that the prices were not cheap.

Don't worry, in our Shuimuqing City, vegetables are only 10 wen and rice is 50 wen. I think it's a few wen more expensive here.

"The old man sighed again and said helplessly: "It will drop to this price in two days.

"Lin Zhixin's eyes lit up and she asked curiously, "Then why?"

"The old man frowned, his eyes full of helplessness, and said: "I don't know, how can we poor people know what the shopkeeper is thinking?

On that day, you have to go to the store to queue up the day before. Otherwise, if you can’t get a queue, you will have to buy it at a high price.”

At this time, the mother-in-law brought two bowls of porridge over, with an apologetic look on her face, and said, "Come, both of you, just have a little.

Lin Zhixin and Wang Shun quickly stood up and took it.

Wang Shun's face was filled with a grateful smile, and he said, "Thank you, Auntie.

"Then he started eating with big mouthfuls, saying as he ate, "Hmm, it's delicious."

Lin Zhixin frowned slightly, looked at the porridge in the bowl, stirred it with a spoon, and reluctantly took a bite. Her expression was as if she had taken bitter medicine, and her facial features were almost wrinkled together.

She thought to herself, “Oh my god, this is disgusting, there is no salt at all.

"But I still swallowed it down.

Wang Shun finished eating quickly, and Lin Zhixin said with a smile: "Brother, you should eat more, you look so thin.

"As he said this, he poured most of the food in his bowl to Wang Shun.

Wang Shun didn't hesitate to take the bowl and quickly finished his meal.

Lin Zhixin ate slowly and finally finished.

Seeing this, the old woman smiled and asked, "Are you full? If not, there's more in the pot.

"The two of them quickly replied that they were full and thanked her, "Thank you, auntie."

Lin Zhixin felt a little disappointed and thought to herself, "I can't get any information from this."

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the courtyard, "Knock, knock, knock", the sound was particularly loud in the quiet courtyard.
