Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Some guests who just learned about it were shocked and full of disbelief.

"Boss Su is so kind! He's generous and helpful to everyone. He's like a living Bodhisattva!"

"I heard that it was Boss Su's idea to divert the disaster victims. Those who had nowhere to stay outside the city were now sent to the countryside to harvest rice, so they didn't starve to death!"

There was endless praise, and those who had previously disliked the look were dumbfounded.

Well, the face was slapped!

Su An didn't know that his reputation was becoming more and more exaggerated.

The rice and flour stored in the store's cellar were all gone. After she arranged the food court, she asked Zhang San and others to maintain order, and she took the time to go buy food.

But as soon as she arrived at the grain store she often went to, she was shocked by the prices on the sign.

"Seventy coins for a pound of rice?!"

"Boss, the price of your rice and flour has increased tenfold? Are you crazy?!" Su An shouted in disbelief.

The grain store owner naturally recognized his old acquaintance Su An, and he was also swatting away flies with a helpless look on his face.

"Boss Su, don't get angry with me. It was Ma Fu from the granary who first raised the grain price tenfold. We're just a small business. He's selling at a high price, so there's no reason for us to sell at a low price. Otherwise, who will be held responsible if we lose money?"

He kindly advised, "There's nothing you can do. Food is in short supply right now, and the price is the same everywhere. Just follow the price increase. No matter how expensive it is, there will always be people who buy it."

Su An was filled with anger and immediately turned around and strode towards the granary.

No matter what the situation is, food is the most important thing. Even if the price has increased tenfold, there are still many people queuing up at the door of the granary, fearing that the price will rise again if they are late.

At this time, Ma Fu acted like a master, stroking his mustache and watching the crowd scrambling for food with satisfaction.

It had only been a short time since the price increase, but the silver in his treasury had more than tripled.

Great wealth and honor are within your reach!

He was feeling proud when Su An came over at a speed of 800 meters, pushing through the crowd and rushing to him, panting: "You are a profiteer? You are selling rice and flour inlaid with gold and jade at such a high price, taking advantage of the chaos to raise the price. Do you still have any respect for the law?!"

Ma Fu heard such scolding a lot that day, but he was not anxious at all. Instead, he glanced at Su An with an arrogant look.

"You little girl, do you know how to talk? With the influx of refugees and a shortage of food, it's reasonable for prices to rise. If you can't afford it, get out and stop getting in the way of others queuing."

No matter how much these people curse, they will still buy it.

Su An almost bit his teeth to pieces. He had never been so angry before. Profiting from the national disaster was simply against the will of heaven!

"You are a rotten-hearted person, a worthless person. Sooner or later, you will be struck by lightning!"

"Tsk." Ma Fu showed no fear at all. "Whether I chop you or not is another matter. If you are so powerful, don't eat my food. If I have to die, I'll let you, a bitch, starve to death first!"

Su An looked at Ma Fu coldly, thinking that he would never change his arrogance.

She didn't stay there to argue, and quickly went to the county government to find Lin Yong to file a complaint.

"How could this happen!" Lin Yong was so shocked that he slammed the table and stood up.

He has been so busy resettling refugees recently that he has neglected this aspect.

"This is outrageous! I expected grain prices to fluctuate, but I didn't expect those vendors to be so audacious as to raise the price tenfold. They're leaving the people with no way to survive!"

Su An said even more worriedly: "Ordinary people can't afford it at this price now. Most of the grain has gone into the hands of wealthy merchants. If we delay any further, the price of grain will definitely go up. Please, County Master, please act quickly."

"Somebody come!"

Lin Yong furiously ordered, "Issue a grain decree immediately. Raising prices and hoarding grain are strictly prohibited! Anyone who disobeys will be arrested and fined or caned!"

Looking at this scene, Su An couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the county magistrate was strict.

In this way, food prices should recover soon.

Su An went home first and went out for a walk in the afternoon.

Fortunately, all grain stores have indeed returned to normal prices.

She walked to the granary again, and the sign hanging outside also changed to seven cents per pound.

Just as Su An was secretly feeling that he had done a great thing, a white-haired old woman walked over tremblingly and grabbed someone from the granary.

She trembled as she opened the cloth bag in her hand. "Hey boy, this is the rice my old man just bought from you. Most of it is mixed with sand. How can I eat it?"

"Are you guys just kidding me because I'm dazzled and trying to fool us with sand?"

The man who was pulled over didn't even look at it and said angrily: "Food is tight now, and this is the rule. Seven cents can only buy this stale rice and sand. It's enough to make do with it and won't kill you!"

"If you want to eat good food, buy the fine white rice. It's one hundred coins a pound!"

After saying that, the waiter shook off the old lady and hurriedly invited the new customer in.

Su An's heart suddenly turned cold.

what happened?

She followed into the granary in disbelief, only to find that the granary was divided into inner and outer rooms.

Those queuing up in the outer room to buy food were all ordinary people wearing coarse linen shirts, and the sign hanging on their backs said seven cents per pound of rice.

She pretended to be a guest and went back into the inner room. The people inside suddenly seemed wealthy and classy, ​​and the sign clearly read "One Hundred Wen".

Good guy!

No wonder these grain merchants obeyed the government orders obediently, it turns out they were actually doing things that were hypocritical!

Moreover, the price of grain has risen by another thirty cents!

Anger flashed in Su An's eyes, and he immediately wanted to go to Lin Yong to tell him the truth.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out the door, a huge group of people blocked her way.

"It was you, this stinky bitch, who was meddling in other people's business and asked the county magistrate to issue the food restriction order, wasn't it?" The leader, Sun Ming, looked at Su An viciously.

He was the largest grain merchant in the county. After the grain restriction order was issued, he immediately sent people to investigate and soon found out that Su An was the culprit.

This allowed him to catch the culprit.

Su An's expression tightened and he took two steps back without leaving a trace.

The man was dressed in silk and satin, and was well-fed and strong. He mentioned the grain restriction order, so he must be a grain boss who was affected.

She frowned slightly and tilted her head in a confused manner: "I don't know what you are talking about. I am just an ordinary citizen."

"Haha, you ruined our plans, but now you're scared?"

Sun Ming didn't buy it at all. He had his own spies and definitely didn't find the wrong person.

He looked at Su An as if he were looking at a dead person, sneered and ordered the strong men he brought with him, "Beat this stinky woman to death for me, kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and let everyone know the consequences of meddling in other people's business!"

not good!

Su An's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she stopped pretending. She pointed at Sun Ming's nose and cursed: "Go to hell with killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, you stinky turtle who eats human blood buns in a disguised skin. It's good, so that I don't have to come to my door. This time, I will beat you to death for the sake of justice!"

Her sudden outburst of momentum startled Sun Ming and everyone else, and they hesitated in surprise.

So arrogant? Does this little bitch have another trick up her sleeve?

Little did they know that Su An took advantage of their confusion, smashed the basket in his hand, and then turned around and slipped out to the side.

Only a fool would fight them!

Seeing this, Sun Ming immediately reacted and shouted with a distorted face, "This damn bluffing bitch, hurry up! Kill her right here!"

Su An was about to get out, but the burly man next to her came to his senses and grabbed her hair and pulled her back.

"hiss--"

Su An grimaced in pain and was about to struggle when the figure of a secret guard suddenly appeared in front of him, grabbed the sturdy man's hand and threw him over his shoulder!
