the next morning

Yan Shu came to Wangyue Tea House, and Shopkeeper Liu was already waiting for her.

The two of them came to the small courtyard rented by Yan Shu together. Yan Shu unlocked the door of the main room, opened the door and walked in.

Shopkeeper Liu followed him into the house. When he checked the quality of the food, he was secretly stunned.

Who is this little girl?

Whether it's rice, millet, or flour, the quality is of the highest quality. She can hoard tens of thousands of kilograms of food at once, so she must have a strong backer behind her.

Yan Shu took away the shock in shopkeeper Liu's eyes.

She pursed her lips and smiled: "To be honest with Shopkeeper Liu, this batch of grain belongs to my boss. I am just handling it for you. As for the price, just follow the market."

Shopkeeper Liu had an "I see" expression.

He said how could a little girl be able to hoard so much food? Sure enough, someone was secretly instigating it.

"Don't worry, Miss Yan, you will be satisfied with the price."

The two discussed it for a while and finally agreed on the price.

Rice and millet are each fifteen cents per catty, and the current market price is 22 cents per catty. White flour is thirteen cents per catty, and the market price is twenty cents per catty.

Daoxiang Grain Shop can make a profit of seven cents per catty.

This price is already sky-high for ordinary people, but fine grains are not meant for ordinary people.

According to the current calculation of one tael of silver equal to one thousand taels, the total of all the grain sold this time was 430 taels.

Yan Shu didn't want banknotes but wanted cash, so Shopkeeper Liu asked the boy to immediately get 430 taels of silver ingots.

One-handed payment and one-handed delivery.

"Shopkeeper Liu, this is the key to the warehouse."

Shopkeeper Liu reached out to take it and said with a smile: "I will send someone to transport the food as soon as possible, and then personally return the key to the girl."

Yan Shu said politely: "Don't worry, I have one more thing I would like to ask shopkeeper Liu for help with."

"Oh? What can I do for you?"

"I want to buy some brown rice, sorghum noodles, and black rice noodles, and I want to use a back door at your place."

Shopkeeper Liu was a little confused. With so much fine grain in her hands, why did she still buy coarse grain?

But he wouldn't ask any more questions about things he shouldn't know.

"This is easy to handle. I'll ask the boy in the shop to take you there later."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Liu."

"You're welcome, girl. If you still have food in your hands in the future, I hope you can cooperate with our Daoxiang Food Store."

Yan Shu smiled and nodded: "Definitely."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, shopkeeper Liu called the boy who was always waiting on him and asked him to send Yan Shu there in person.

Yan Shu seemed to put the 430 taels of silver in the basket, but in fact he took the opportunity to put it into the space, and then took shopkeeper Liu's carriage to Daoxiang Grain Store.

-

At this time, the outside of the shop was blocked by people.

The boy said, "Girl, let's go in through the back door."

Yan Shu got off the carriage and followed the boy down an alley, going around to the back door of the shop.

After entering through the back door, you went directly to a small courtyard.

The boy met the shopkeeper of Daoxiang Shop and explained his purpose. The shopkeeper looked at Yan Shu.

"How much food do you plan to buy, girl?"

"Buy three hundred catties of each item."

"Okay, I'll get someone ready."

Soon, two young men brought over the food that Yan Shu asked for.

At present, brown rice is seven cents per catty, sorghum flour is nine cents per catty, and black rice flour is ten cents per catty. Yan Shu spends a total of seven taels and eight cents on buying grain.

She paid the money to the shopkeeper, who said, "Girl, you bought so much food, we can send it back to you."

"No need, put the food here first, I will bring it over later and take it away."

It would be too conspicuous to bring so much food back to the village, so it would be safer to wait until night and let Jiang Ci use an ox cart to pull it back.

At this time, the waiter in the store hurried over.

"It's bad for the shopkeeper. Someone started a fight over the food in front of us."

The shopkeeper's face suddenly darkened: "Didn't they all line up? How could they start fighting?"

"Someone cut in line. The kid who was cut in line didn't agree, so he was beaten."

"Take me to have a look."

The shopkeeper greeted Yan Shu and hurried towards the shop.

Yan Shu followed curiously and saw a group of people beating and kicking a young man around.

A dark-faced man with sinister features was cursing.

"You brat, why don't you ask me, Master Six, who I am? No one in Furong Town dares to show off my face in front of me. You are the first one. I will let you know today. If you offend me, What will happen to me, Mr. Six? I will be beaten so hard that I will be beaten to death."

The beaten boy on the ground raised his head fiercely, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.

"Why... why should I give up to you the line I lined up all morning?"

"Hey, you're still not convinced, are you? Keep beating me until he is convinced!"

Yan Shu saw the young man's appearance clearly and frowned slightly.

Isn't this the guy who talked to her yesterday?

At this time, the shopkeeper ran out and stepped forward to dissuade him.

"Sixth Master, please tell your people to stop, otherwise it will be bad if people lose their lives."

Lai Xiaoliu glanced at Shopkeeper Fang, then lowered his head and glared at the beaten boy.

"I can spare this boy for the sake of Shopkeeper Fang, but from today on, this boy will never be able to buy a grain of rice in Furong Town. Shopkeeper Fang, please listen clearly. If you dare to sell him grain, Go against me, Lai Xiaoliu."

Shopkeeper Fang frowned and fell silent.

It's not good for this kid to provoke anyone, but he happened to provoke this most difficult local snake.

Lai Xiaoliu was the brother-in-law of the county government chief Bo, and he was very tyrannical in Furong Town. All the shops on the street were forced to collect protection fees from him, and no one dared to provoke him until now.

"Just listen to Mr. Liu."

A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, there is no need to provoke this unruly thing over such a trivial matter.

Lai Xiaoliu smiled with satisfaction, raised his leg and kicked the boy on the ground again.

"You brat, if you offend me, Mr. Six, let's see who dares to sell you food in Furong Town. Humph!"

With a cold snort, Lai Xiaoliu called his men to queue up.

Having learned from the experience of the young man being beaten, no other villagers in the queue dared to say a word.

Yan Shu mingled in the crowd, and after the young man got up from the ground and walked away, she followed him quietly.

"Bro."

The boy was holding his stomach, his hair was scattered on both sides, and his face was covered with bruises from being beaten.

He turned around and recognized Yan Shu at a glance.

"girl……"

Embarrassment flashed through his eyes, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Girl, please stay away from me. If those gangsters see me, be careful to cause trouble for the girl."

Yan Shu walked up to him and said, "This is not the place to talk. If you want to buy food, just come with me."

The young man looked up at her in astonishment, and Yan Shu smiled at him.

That smile was bright and bright, making him inexplicably believe what she said.

The two came to a noodle shop, and Yan Shu found a quiet place to sit down. The young man stood aside cautiously, not knowing what to do.

"Brother, let me check your pulse."

"Does the girl know medical skills?"

"I understand a little bit, please sit down first."

The young man walked over and sat down opposite Yan Shu. Yan Shu checked his pulse carefully to make sure there was no internal injury, and took out a bottle of ointment to reduce swelling and pain from his cuff.

"Fortunately, it's just a skin injury. This ointment can reduce swelling and pain. I'll help you apply the medicine."

"Girl, there's no need to trouble you, I can do it myself."

Yan Shu saw him blushing in embarrassment and realized that this was an era where men and women were highly protected.

She smiled slightly and said: "Then take this bottle of medicine back and use it. The injury on your face will be healed in less than three days."
