After evacuating the Hou Mansion, I fled famine with my pregnant belly

Chapter 497 The Difficulty of Ordinary People

After arranging everything, Feng Jiuyou and the others planned to go to Nancheng to see how ordinary people survive here.

On the second day, Feng Jiuyou and Jiang Huai went to Nancheng early in the morning.

Nancheng is the place with the most traffic. Of course, there are also the most poor people. There are many children in tattered clothes begging at the end of the street.

Seeing this scene, Feng Jiuyou felt an unprecedented heavy heart.

No matter in what era, only those upper-class talents are more glamorous.People living at the bottom can only struggle to survive every day.

They took a rough look around and found that there was no food store in the entire Nancheng?To be precise, there is no food for sale.

At this moment, what does Feng Jiuyou think she should do?She was not in the mood to go shopping anymore, so she took Jiang Huai to the guest house.

Not long after that, Nancheng opened a store, which was a grain store that could not appear in the West District.

Ordinary people living in the West District dared to come after hearing the news, but they only dared to look outside.

"I heard that this newly opened shop sells grain, but I don't know if it's true."

"I don't know who is a kind person who brought rare grains to the West District to buy. Will it be our turn to buy them?"

"Don't you know when you go in?"

"Do you think we should go in and have a look?"

A woman was wearing a headscarf, with a basket in her hand, and said to another woman with some trepidation.

"Go ahead, treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. My daughter-in-law just gave birth to a grandson for me, but unfortunately I didn't have a good meal, and now I don't have any milk."

Another woman replied.

"Then let's go in." The two walked into the shop with trembling support.

"Excuse me, is there any food for sale here?" The woman with her daughter-in-law in confinement asked anxiously.

"Yes. I don't know what kind of food you two want."

Feng Jiuyou spoke kindly, she had never been so kind in front of the two cubs, so she was afraid of frightening the two women.

Originally, Jiang Huai wanted to secretly act as a buddy, but Feng Jiuyou glanced at the slightly stiff face with a dark smile, and resolutely refused, and had to do it by himself.

"How much is the worst?"

The two women didn't expect that they really did, but they just thought of the dozens of pennies in their pockets and asked anxiously.

"Two come with me over there to have a look."

Feng Jiuyou took the two of them to the place where the rice was placed.

"This is inferior rice, five cents a catty."

Feng Jiuyou opened a rice bag. The rice in the rice bag was broken rice, and some bran was mixed in the broken rice.

"This is medium rice, eight cents a catty."

Feng Jiuyou opened another rice bag. The rice in this bag was better than the previous one, and the rice grains were not so broken.

"This is high-quality rice, ten cents a catty."

Feng Jiuyou opened the rice bag containing the high-quality rice. The rice here is better than the previous two kinds. The rice grains are intact and plump, but a little yellowish.

This kind of rice in Jiuyou City can only be regarded as medium rice, and the price is higher than that opened here.

As for the polished rice, Feng Jiuyou didn't take it out, and there was no need to take it out.

Because the people in Nancheng didn't dare to buy it at all.

For Yuxi City, which is short of food, polished rice and high-grade rice are precious things that only the upper class can buy.

After Feng Jiuyou's introduction, she realized that the two women hadn't said a word. Turning around to look, she realized that they were following behind her with dull eyes. She raised her eyebrows and asked.

"What kind of rice do you want?"

The two women were stunned from the moment Feng Jiuyou reported the price of inferior rice, and they didn't hear the introduction at all. They didn't come back to their senses until Feng Jiuyou made a sound.
