Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

If the people were not short of basic crops and were not starving, then although Feng Lan's crop yield per mu was astonishing, it would only be icing on the cake. The money Feng Lan could defraud would naturally be less than what he could get in the event of a crop shortage.

Therefore, Feng Lan has to go around the grain stores in the city and the countryside these days. After all, no one knows the per-acre yield of crops in the fields better than the rural people.

Chapter 90 [Feudal Dynasty] 8

Rongcheng is not small, but not too big either. There are a total of seventeen grain stores of all sizes in the entire city.

Feng Lan changed into a light green dress with bamboo embroidered on the hem, and tied her hair up with a jade hairpin, looking low-key and wealthy. She put on a [clown mask], and had a fairly handsome face. Before it got completely dark, she went around the nearby grain stores that were still open.

Because of her clothes and her inexplicable demeanor, most of the clerks in the grain stores were quite patient with her detailed and tedious questioning, and even a little cautious, as if they were worried that she was some wealthy young man who was on an incognito tour and wanted to tease them, or that she was some great official who had come to understand the people's sentiments.

This is true, after all, the current emperor has done this several times in Jiangnan! Now the stage is still making plans for his private visit to Jiangnan to take down the corrupt official Jia family and seize 100,000 taels of silver!

The clerk at the grain store thought about it, then thought it would be a good idea for the emperor to come incognito more often. After the Jia family was raided, the tax revenue had been reduced by 20% in recent years, and the treasury was also full. I heard that a river would be diverted to Rongcheng next year. By then, Rongcheng would also be able to travel by water. This would open up...

As she was thinking about this, the waiter's attitude towards Feng Lan became better, and he carefully introduced the prices of food in the store to her.

"The new rice in the fields hasn't been harvested yet. The weather here in Rongcheng is hot, and there's plenty of sunshine. Rice can be harvested twice a year, and on more fertile land, even three times!"

"In addition to rice, our grain shop also sells glutinous rice, flour, and other grains. Different types of rice have different prices. High-quality rice is naturally more expensive. Rice with a rougher texture, like straw rice or japonica rice, is cheaper, only 40 copper coins per dou! Of course, the best green-stemmed rice is a bit more expensive, costing four taels of silver per dou. And it's shipped from the north."

"The transportation alone costs a fortune! Of course, this rice tastes great too. Many wealthy families in Rongcheng have bought our green stem rice!"

Feng Lan looked at the light green rice. Just by looking at it, she knew that this rice was special. She nodded lightly and took note of it in her mind.

When I finally left, I gave the waiter twenty copper coins as a fee for the tour guide. The other shops on the street had already put down their flags, closed their doors with wooden boards, and a faint light shone through the cracks in the doors. Few people were lingering on the street.

Feng Lan also returned to the hotel.

A dim candle was lit in the room. Feng Lan ate dinner while listening to Huahua recount what happened today at the prefect's and Cui's mansions.

Relying on his special powers of water and fire, Feng Lan made a deluxe version of instant noodles. He boiled several soft-boiled eggs in a ball of water, and controlled the heat to perfection to ensure that each egg was still runny. He also stir-fried the vegetables so that they would taste refreshing later, and fried the slices of ham until they were slightly browned.

Finally, I cooked five packs of spicy instant noodles and put the side dishes in.

Maybe it was because she hadn't eaten it for a long time, Feng Lan always felt that it tasted better than before. She drank a large cup of iced fruit tea, which contained passion fruit, mango, watermelon, and pearls. It was sweet and sour.

Even though Feng Lan closed all the doors and windows, it was not a sealed environment after all. Everyone knows the taste of instant noodles. It tastes one thing, but it smells really good.
