Game slow travel: I am serious about hoarding goods

Chapter 44
After Jiang Quhan bought the rice cake, she found a place with few people. She couldn't help but ate one by herself first. The taste of the rice cake was very ordinary, but it smelled like grain. Eat the second one.

After eating the rice cakes, she took out the salt and put them in the bamboo louvers, took out two more rice cakes and put them in the bamboo louvers, and put the rest in the space.

It took 500 wen to buy food, 400 wen to buy sesame oil, and another 200 wen to buy rice cakes. She still has 2100 wen left.

If this money can buy food, she will buy all the food, but now that she has money, she can't buy that much, so she should save it for emergency and don't buy messy things.

Jiang Quhan tidied up her things, and was about to go back to find Li Cunbao, when she saw many people walking in one direction on the street, she looked around, saw nothing, and followed the crowd, so many Everyone goes, maybe you can catch the leak, watching the fun is just incidental.

After walking with the crowd for a while, I saw many people surrounding a cart. There were a few people standing beside the cart, and one person shouted: "Line up, line up, everyone has it."

Jiang Quhan jumped a few times, but he was too short to see what was on the cart.

She grabbed a woman next to her and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

The woman saw that it was a little girl who asked her, and replied with a good attitude: "Sell water, hurry up and line up, it's late, maybe there won't be any, my son didn't buy it yesterday."

selling water? ?
She wanted to ask again, but the woman had already followed the crowd to line up.Only then did Jiang Quhan notice that these people were holding water bags, bamboo tube gourds, and various water containers. After a while, there was a long queue, and no one jumped in line or made trouble.

At this time, those who can do this kind of business must have some skills.

In the past, many people in the town had wells, and those who did not have wells also had special personnel to deliver water. It was very cheap for a bucket of two cents.

After the drought this year, many people’s wells have dried up directly, causing many people to have no water to drink. Those who can live in the town are more or less people with certain conditions, and few have the courage to flee from famine .

There was a shrewd person who smelled this business opportunity, bought some from some wells that still had water, some were unowned, and some belonged to others, and bought some for some copper coins, and then sold them in the town.

Others see that they can make a lot of money selling water, and many people follow suit. There are fewer and fewer wells with water in the back, free water is almost impossible to get, and the cost of buying it is getting higher and higher. , There are scoundrels and gangsters, and many people who followed suit did not even earn back their costs.

Those who can still do this business in the end are all sand from the big waves.It's not that no one has had a crooked mind, and the final result is not very good.

Gradually, until now, one penny can only buy a small bamboo tube of water, and no one dares to have any opinions.

Jiang Quhan saw that the queue was longer than the ones in the grain store, so she turned around and went back to find Li Cunbao. She was afraid that Li Cunbao would not find her because he had fixed it there.

When Jiang Quhan arrived, Li Cunbao was still queuing, and he was almost there, so it was difficult for her to get in the line, so she just stood by and waited.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, it was finally Li Cunbao's turn. He took out the bamboo betels and asked the shopkeeper to put the grain in.

There are large plantain leaves in the bamboo betel, and after the food is put in, the leaves are covered on it.

Seeing that he bought it, Jiang Quhan immediately asked, "How much did you buy?"

Li Cunbao replied: "The last time I waited was 45 liters per liter, and each person could only buy 20 liters."

Jiang Quhan finally knew that grain was also sold, why there was such a long queue in front of the grain store, and there were so many fewer people in the grocery store.

With such a big price difference between the two places, Jiang Quhan felt that she was at a disadvantage in buying, and she thought that if the grain store couldn't buy much, she would ask Li Cunbao to go to the grocery store to buy some more.

After buying the food, they didn't want to go shopping any more, and they walked back quickly with their bamboo beetles on their backs.

Now that I am carrying food on my back, I always feel that there are more eyes staring at the two of them.

Before arriving at Zhenkou, I met Li Mancang who came to look for them.

Li Mancang almost trotted over. Tired and sweating profusely, he was relieved to see Jiang Quhan and Li Cunbao.

He asked Li Cunbao: "Have you bought it yet?"

Li Cunbao nodded.

Jiang Quhan asked: "Father, how is sister-in-law?"

Hearing Jiang Quhan's question, Li Mantun's face was a little cold. He said: "Their family members are not at home. According to neighbors, their family members left early with a caravan."
