A massive famine! The whole family travels through time together, and with their spatial abilities,

Shen Shuli immediately sneaked into the county government office, hiding her petite body among the lush green plants to observe.

In the back garden.

Shen Shuli saw a group of almost naked women dancing gracefully around several men in a pavilion in the lake, shrouded in a hazy veil.

The distance was quite far, so Shen Shuli couldn't see who these people were, but she could hear the men laughing from time to time.

Indeed, class differences exist in every era.

The phenomenon of "the rich feasting on meat and wine while the poor freeze to death on the streets" can occur anywhere!

Now that it has been confirmed that the county magistrate is also a corrupt official, Shen Shuli will not show any mercy.

She carefully avoided the servants in the mansion and searched meticulously for the magistrate's treasury.

Finally, after half an hour of searching.

They finally found the secret room inside the magistrate's study.

Not only is there a secret room in the study, but there is also a hidden room connected to the bedroom in the main courtyard.

Without hesitation, Shen Shuli put everything she could carry into her spatial storage.

She especially wouldn't want to miss out on jade and other precious stones!

Unfortunately, the county government office was heavily guarded.

To avoid causing panic and getting herself into trouble, Shen Shuli did not demolish the county government office.

He emptied the mansion of all the money and valuables he could find and then left in a carefree manner.

Satisfied, Shen Shuli then went to the street to look for a grain store.

After conducting some secret research, Shen Shuli finally found a shop that met her requirements.

The owner of this shop is in another city; this is just a branch of a grain store.

Moreover, the shop had already run out of food, and the manager had left Yingze County with his servants.

Shen Shuli smashed the chains, opened the shop door, and then locked the door from the inside to inspect the shop.

"It's alright, just a bit small, but at least it has a backyard." Shen Shuli nodded, not entirely satisfied.

Then fill all the houses in the backyard with grain.

Once Su Yunhai arrives, we can open for business.

Shen Shuli locked the shop door again and waited for Su Yunhai at the agreed location.

As darkness fell, Su Yunhai finally appeared.

"Father, have everything been arranged outside?" Shen Shuli asked.

"Yes, I've equipped your uncles and cousins ​​with pistols and bombs, and I've also equipped my second and third sons with a lot of guns and ammunition."

"I imagine they can handle any danger they encounter while traveling alone," Su Yunhai explained.

"My mother didn't say anything, did she?" Shen Shuli was mainly worried about Shen Yuehua.

"Well, she didn't say anything. I've already told her about your situation, and she knows how serious it is, so she didn't object."

“Okay, I’ve found a suitable shop. I’ll take you there. You should get some rest tonight. We’re going to get down to business tomorrow,” Shen Shuli said.

"Row."

After settling Su Yunhai in, Shen Shuli went to Yingze Lake again to pump water.

While I'm at it, I'll take the jade and emeralds I received from the county government today to the spirit field.

Shen Shuli was excited to see how many levels the space could be upgraded by such a large collection of jade artifacts.

But the space didn't react at all!

Shen Shuli's head was completely numb!

"What exactly happened? Is there too little jade? Or is the quality substandard?"

Shen Shuli was completely confused at this moment.

But when we upgraded the space before, we didn't even bother to check the quality of the jade!

She watched as jade artifacts of various qualities were absorbed by the space.

She's not picky about food at all...

Could there be other triggering conditions?

Shen Shuli was somewhat agitated at the moment, so she selected a few of the best quality jade pieces and stored them in the warehouse.

The remaining jade artifacts were all placed in a large box next to the ancient well, in case the space was readily available.

"Let's keep pumping water!"

Shen Shuli took a single mattress from the warehouse, spread it on the lakeside, and lay down directly.

With little interest, I put my hands in the water, tilted my head to the side, and slept to recover my strength.

Wait till you wake up again.

Shen Shuli noticed that the sun had already begun to emit heat.

She glanced at the lake and noticed that the water level had dropped by one meter.

If someone were by the lake, they would definitely notice that the water level has dropped significantly!

Feeling a little guilty, Shen Shuli immediately left for the grain shop.

Su Yunhai got up very early today.

I prepared breakfast in the kitchen in the backyard and kept it warm in the pot while waiting for my daughter.

He filled a basin with water and quickly swept away the accumulated dust in the shop.

Shen Shuli returned right after she finished working.

"Daughter, go eat quickly, we'll get to work after we finish eating," Su Yunhai urged with a smile and full of enthusiasm.

Shen Shuli was in a good mood. She quickly finished eating, cleaned up the pots and pans, and immediately opened the shop for business.

It was not yet fully light.

There were already quite a few people coming and going on the street.

Squads of soldiers were already patrolling the streets.

Shen Shuli and her father exchanged a knowing smile.

They knew that the magistrate must have discovered the theft and was thoroughly investigating the thief's whereabouts.

But they weren't worried at all about the county magistrate finding out about them.

Su Yunhai hung up the sign he had prepared in advance.

The price list shows the prices of various grains for the day, and specifies that various jade and emerald ornaments will be collected.

Worried that the passersby might not be literate, Su Yunhai immediately started hawking his wares on the street.

"Do not miss passing through!"

"Special grain discounts available today!"

"Customers who want to buy grain, don't miss out!"

Soon, people heard the shouts and came running over to check.

When it comes to food, no ordinary person doesn't care!

Su Yunhai pointed to the sign next to him and explained today's grain prices to the people.

"Dear customers, our shop prioritizes jade buyers and will have priority in queuing. Food is limited, so it's first come, first served!"

"What? You're buying grain with jade instead of silver?"

"Who carries jade with them when they go out? I only have silver on me!"

"Shopkeeper, I have some money. Please let me buy some first. My family has been starving for several meals!"

"I...I...I have a jade pendant on me! Let me buy it first!"

Su Yunhai had very sharp ears and immediately identified the buyer who claimed to have the jade pendant, quickly telling people to move to the front of the line.

"Please come in, sir! Someone will take care of you inside!"

Su Yunhai shifted his body, which completely blocked the door, and then blocked the door again after letting the person in.

To prevent people from going berserk and looting the store's grain.

Shen Shuli moved a stool and sat in front of the grain pile, patiently waiting for the customer who would deliver the goods to her door.

Finally, one arrived.

She immediately greeted him with a sweet smile.

"Sir, please show me your jade artifact. I need to estimate its value before we can give you the food."

The person holding the jade pendant was a middle-aged man. His eyes lit up when he saw the grain displayed on half of the shop.

He quickly handed the jade pendant to the little girl in front of him, thought for a moment, and then hurriedly explained a few words.

“Young lady, this is my family’s heirloom jade pendant. My grandfather bought it for more than 230 taels of silver. Now this jade pendant is worth at least 200 taels. How much grain do you think you can exchange for it?”

Shen Shuli knew that the man had inflated the price.

However, she doesn't know much about jade and can only make a rough estimate of its value.
