MTL - Night of the Divorce! A Proud Lady Was Forced to Marry the Emperor’s Uncle-Chapter 238 gouging up food prices
Although the gate of the city was opened, because Xiao Nan was guarding the gate at night, the victims of the disaster did not dare to take a step forward.
In addition to what Xiao Nanye said just now, they all heard it.
So looking at Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan at this moment, everyone's eyes are full of excitement and excitement.
The people from Cheng Wang's Mansion came very quickly, and Jiang Peihuan heard the sound of neat horseshoes within a cup of tea.
The leader is Han Feng.
Behind him was a row of carriages, all of which were filled with grain.
Jiang Peihuan stepped forward and directed the people in Chengwang's mansion to move down the things and set up the pot by the way.
The food was cooked quickly, and everything was arranged within a quarter of an hour.
Looking at the huge crowd, Jiang Peihuan frowned.
"Miss, do you have any orders?"
Han Feng has been following Jiang Peihuan, seeing her frowning, he went straight forward.
"Let them queue up, the elderly and children are given priority, followed by women."
"yes."
Han Feng went to prevent the victims from queuing up, but it was the first time these people heard about it, so they didn't listen at all.
Until the troublemaker was directly stabbed by Han Feng with a sword, everyone lined up according to what Jiang Peihuan said.
Jiang Peihuan asked people to set up five cauldrons at the same time, but the five teams were still endlessly long.
And there are more and more people behind, all of whom came from the other three city gates.
"Huan'er?"
Hearing the voice, Jiang Peihuan came to the direction.
It turned out that Jiang Changbai was walking from the barracks to the city, and beside him were Xue Qi and Xue Zhi.
"Big Brother, Cousin Qi, Cousin Zhi."
Seeing the three of them, Jiang Peihuan stepped forward to salute.
"Huan'er, aren't you serving porridge in the city, why are you here?"
While speaking, Jiang Changbai looked at the victims beside him.
Looking at the long line, Jiang Changbai's eyes were full of worry.
After Jiang Peihuan briefly explained the matter, he looked at Jiang Changbai and said, "Brother, you have something important to do when you return home. If you have nothing to do, you might as well stay and help."
"Okay, you say, I will listen to you."
"Huan'er, and us, we can also help."
Hearing Jiang Changbai's words, Xue Qi and Xue Zhi on the side also hurriedly spoke out.
Under Jiang Peihuan's arrangement, there were three more cauldrons.
The whole gate of the city was filled with the smell of porridge, and the eyes of the victims who got the porridge were all red.
"Miss, if this continues, the food will not be enough."
Han Feng walked to Jiang Peihuan's side and spoke softly.
When he came, he had already bought a lot of food from Liu's shop, but no amount of food could feed so many people.
"Miss, do you need me to go to Liu's shop to buy food?"
"I can't go to Liu's house for the time being."
Jiang Peihuan has already taken a large amount of food and cotton clothes from the Liu family. If he takes more, even the Liu family cannot bear it.
Looking at Han Feng, Jiang Peihuan said softly, "Did you go to other merchants to check the situation?"
"Yes, but the prices of other merchants are extremely high."
"Only Liu's shop, the food price is normal."
"But when we went to Liu's shop, we found that there was not much food in Liu's shop."
Hearing Han Feng's words, Jiang Peihuan fell into silence. After a moment of silence, Jiang Peihuan looked at Han Feng and said, "Go, go to the city to buy food."
"yes."
At this time, Xiao Nanye had already walked over. Seeing him, Jiang Peihuan said softly, "You stay here and I will take Han Feng to the city to buy food."
"good."
"Do you still have silver in your hand?"
After thinking about it, Xiao Nanye looked at Jiang Peihuan and said.
Hearing the man's words, Jiang Peihuan laughed softly, "Don't worry, there is still a lot of the gold you gave me before."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Peihuan rode into the city on Gale Wind.
After arriving in the city, Jiang Peihuan first went to see the porridge distribution in the General's Mansion. Seeing that everything was normal, Jiang Peihuan took Han Feng to the rice store in the city.
"Miss, do you want to buy food?"
The shopkeeper of the shop saw Jiang Peihuan coming in, his eyes were full of smiles.
He knew about the fact that the General's Mansion gave out porridge in the city. Since they gave out porridge, they needed a lot of food. The more Jiang Peihuan bought, the more they made.
"I really want to buy food."
Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Jiang Peihuan smiled and nodded.
Looking at the grain in the bag, Jiang Peihuan reached out to touch it, and then said softly, "Shopkeeper, what's the price of this rice grain?"
"Miss, this is new rice, so the price will be a bit more expensive, it costs two hundred Wen a catty."
"Two hundred words?"
Hearing the shopkeeper's quotation, Jiang Peihuan's smile remained unchanged, but her eyes were full of ugly eyes.
In the old days, the new rice cost only 50 yuan a catty, and it was still a good quality new rice.
The shopkeeper may also realize that the price is too high, so after hearing what Jiang Peihuan said, he said with a smile, "Miss also knows that this rice grain is rare now, so..."
"So you merchants can take the opportunity to raise the price of food, and make a fortune for the country, right?"
Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, Jiang Peihuan interrupted him lightly.
Hearing Jiang Peihuan's words, the shopkeeper's face was a bit ugly, "Why do you say such things to me, miss, now in this capital city, who doesn't have a high price."
"Liu's shop didn't go up."
Han Feng, who was following Jiang Peihuan, said with a cold face after hearing what the shopkeeper said.
"That's why they're stupid."
Although the voice of the shopkeeper muttering was very low, both Jiang Peihuan and Han Feng were martial arts practitioners with excellent ears, so they could still hear clearly.
Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan's eyes were a little gloomy.
Originally, she was going to talk to these merchants carefully, but now it seems that it doesn't make sense to talk properly.
Looking at the shopkeeper, Jiang Peihuan said directly, "Shopkeeper, I might as well just say that the person who came to buy rice from you today is His Royal Highness Cheng Wang. He is giving out porridge at the Dongcheng Gate at the moment. There are hundreds of thousands of victims in the Dongcheng Gate. Today's rice, Do you still want to sell two hundred Wen?"
"This...Miss, don't embarrass me."
"So, the shopkeeper still insists on this price?"
The smile on Jiang Peihuan's face is still there, but the expression in her eyes has turned to ice.
"Miss, why do you need to talk so much with him, if the master is here, he is afraid that his life will be gone, and he just sees your good temper, so he dragged so much."
While speaking, Han Feng directly pulled out his long sword and aimed it at the shopkeeper's neck. Han Feng said coldly, "I'll just ask you once, will you lower the food price or not?"
"You, what do you want to do, you... ah..."
Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, the long sword in Han Feng's hand had scratched his arm.
This is not over yet, Han Feng pointed his long sword at the shopkeeper's other hand again, "Are you surrendering or not?"
"I, what I say doesn't count. This shop is not mine, and I'm also obeying orders."
"The shopkeeper, can you tell me who owns this shop?"
"Yes, it belongs to the Lin family."
