Fleeing famine with a trading system

Chapter 42
But as soon as he took a step and wanted to get closer, Gu Ruan stared straight at the past with cold eyes,
Those people immediately stopped in their tracks, feeling withdrawn.With this hesitation, Gu Ruan and his party have already walked away.

Zhang Jinhua walked towards the person who was more talkative, and before he could speak, the other person spoke impatiently.

"If you enter the town, fifty copper coins per person."

Zhang Jinhua took out a tael of silver from his waist again and handed it to the officers and soldiers.

Gu Ruan had some doubts about how much money was left in that waist?
The officers and soldiers raised their eyebrows, and the impatience on their faces disappeared instantly.

"The official has worked hard! The rest is for the villain to invite the official to drink some wine." Zhang Jinhua saluted.

When the officers and soldiers heard it, they found that no one was paying attention, so they quickly put it away and reminded them in a low voice.

"Thank you then. Go straight inside and you will see Heyu Liangdian."

The news has arrived.This was Gu Ruan's only thought.

"Thank you, sir." Zhang Jinhua said with a faint smile.

Li Dahe looked at Yinzi and his heart was bleeding, it was only one tael of silver.

Gu Ruan didn't think there was anything wrong.

Immediately, the three of them entered the town directly. Most of the passers-by in the town held their things in their arms cautiously and ran all the way. The three of them walked straight for a while, and Zhang Jinhua stopped immediately.

"What's wrong?" Li Dahe asked puzzled.

Gu Ruan followed Zhang Jinhua's gaze, he was a little beggar, and he wanted to ask Gu Ruan how he could tell, because he was the only one here who looked the most ragged, and his hair was a mess.The other passers-by at least had holes patched, and their hair was simply done.

"Uncle, I'm going to ask for directions." Zhang Jinhua was obviously answering Li Dahe's question.

Li Dahe also wanted to ask, didn't the official just say it?But before he had time to say it, Zhang Jinhua and Gu Ruan stepped up and walked towards the little beggar.

Gu Ruan can probably understand, probably because he was afraid that the officers and soldiers just now took money from the grain shop, and he asked the beggar because the beggar is the one who knows the big and small things in this town. He said he just asked a reputable grain store.

"Grandpa, grandpa, enjoy your saliva." The little beggar knelt down and kowtowed when he saw that the visitor was cleanly dressed and did not look like a refugee.

Zhang Jinhua took off the water bag, squatted down, and prepared to give it to the little beggar.

The little beggar was overjoyed, and was about to take it, but was blocked by a hand.

It was Gu Ruan's hand.

The little beggar froze when he saw the smile on his face, thinking that the few of them were here to entertain people, and it was not uncommon for this kind of thing to happen.

Zhang Jinhua turned to look at Gu Ruan suspiciously.

Gu Ruan handed over her own water bag.

"Use mine."

Gu Ruan felt that Zhang Jinhua's water bag had his own logo on it, and it seemed that everyone except Zhang Jinnan had one water bag.

Zhang Jinhua didn't move, and gestured to Gu Ruan with his eyes, is she still there?
Gu Ruan nodded.

At this time, I can't say it clearly. If I say it clearly, I will hear more than just a little beggar.

Zhang Jinhua took it and handed over Gu Ruan's water bag.

Seeing that Zhang Jinhua didn't regret it, the little beggar smiled even wider. He quickly took it with both hands and put it in his arms to protect him. He didn't listen to good words.

"Thank you sir, the good man is safe, thank you miss, the miss is really a kind person."

"This town has a good reputation..."

"He Yu Liang Shop." Before Zhang Jinhua finished speaking, the little beggar interrupted quickly, which shows that it has formed a habit, and it seems that many people have come to ask.

Zhang Jinhua stood up, Gu Ruan and Li Dahe stood on both sides.

"Let's go over and see how Heyu Liangdian is doing." Zhang Jinhua looked at Gu Ruan and Li Dahe and said.

Gu Ruan nodded.

"Okay! You can figure it out. Anyway, I don't understand. We will do whatever you say, and we will listen to you." Li Dahe said with a simple and honest smile.He dared to say that it was because we saw Gu Ruan nodding that we hurriedly expressed our opinion.

"Uncle, Xiao, Xiao Gu, then I won't refuse." Zhang Jinhua looked at the two of them.

Gu Ruan and Li Dahe nodded at the same time.

The three of them kept walking, and the further they went, the more shops there were, but they were all closed.

Until I saw the sign of "He Yu Liang Shop", the door was not closed.

Approaching, in front of the door is written:

Rice is ten taels of silver a catty,
Broken rice costs eight taels of silver,
Brown rice costs six taels of silver per catty.

The three of them frowned at the same time, the price increase was too expensive.

Seeing the three of them staring at the price, the store clerk hurriedly said.

"Hey, guest officer, don't look at the price increase, but our Heyu Grain Store is the cheapest and most honest."

Seeing that the three of them were silent, the clerk quickly whispered, "Other grain stores have added stones to it, oh, those who bought it regretted it, and when they went to return it, they were thrown out."

"Xiao Zhang, what are you talking about?" A deep voice came over.

The buddy Xiao Zhang quickly silenced, lowered his head, and muttered in a low voice, "No nonsense."

"Go to work quickly."

"Yes, the shopkeeper." The man hurriedly left and entered the shop.

"Guest officer, what do you want?" The shopkeeper looked at Zhang Jinhua with a smile on his face.

"It's just to check the price, I'm sorry to bother the shopkeeper." Zhang Jinhua replied with a smile.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said nothing.

Then Zhang Jinhua took Gu Ruan and Li Dahe away, until the shopkeeper couldn't see them, and walked into the empty alley they came through, it was a dead end.

"I think this guy and shopkeeper look pretty good. Uncle, Xiao Gu, what do you think?" Zhang Jinhua said well, he really thought it was pretty good, at least better than the people he had met before, although the guy talked a lot , but he didn't show any impatience when he saw them. The shopkeeper was also full of smiles, not like a villain.

"I also think it's good." Gu Ruan also thought about it seriously. In this ancient time, there were not many clerks who would be kind to customers, let alone when they were fleeing from famine, the price of food was so high.

Li Dahe also nodded, at least when he went to the town, he had never seen such a good-tempered guy and shopkeeper.

"Okay, then it's decided to go to Heyu Liangpu. Can I take out five catties of rice first?"

Zhang Jinhua asked Gu Ruan in a low voice. He didn't know if Gu Ruan could be separated directly in the storage space. Although there was no one there, no one knew if the partition wall had ears.

Li Dahe saw that the two of them were talking about business, so he consciously looked at the entrance of the alley, in case any outsiders looked over.

"I'll try." Gu Ruan didn't promise.

[Guiyi, help me, can I? 】

Gu Ruan doesn't know what step Guiyi can do. If Guiyi can hear the outside voice through himself, then he will worry less about a lot of things.

【OK. 】

Gu Ruan saw that Guiyi found a grain bag from the pile of groceries, and took out five catties from the bag that Li Yunqiu gave.
