However, as long as it doesn't affect him, Shen Jia can ignore these unreasonable things.

When they arrived at the inn, it was indeed as simple as Machi had described, but who could blame them for running into the busiest time in the city?

In addition, grasslands and wild forests were commonplace before, so Shen Jia could still accept this familiar large bunk bed. She looked at the few people who had tied up the car and said:

"All of you go get some rest. We'll deal with our business tomorrow. Leave the task of preparing the medicine for this little girl to the inn's waiter. Don't be so busy."

"Yes, Boss."

As they spoke, the crowd began to disperse. Xu Zhao followed Shen Jia's instructions and went to tell the waiter about boiling the medicine. She went back to the room where the unconscious little girl was lying.

Shen Jia had thrown the wedding dress into the river. Even if someone found it, they would probably think she looked like a dead person.

She looked malnourished and was arranged to be married after death at such a young age. Fortunately, she was strong-minded and ran away, otherwise she would have died by now.

“Squeak—”

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Shen Jia looked up and saw that it was Xu Zhao. After she opened the door, she said to the person outside:

"Just put your things here and leave first."

Then he spread his legs, leaving a large gap between them, squatted down, stretched out his hand and turned around tremblingly. It turned out that Xu Zhao was holding the bathtub directly, which seemed to be full of hot water.

Shen Jia couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw this. "Next time, just bring the tub and bucket. It won't be difficult to make a few more trips. What if you get burned like this?"

When Xu Zhao heard Shen Jia's words, his body stiffened for a moment, but he quickly adjusted himself, put down the things in his hand, and then spoke to Shen Jia.

"Boss, I was a little careless, but you don't have to worry about me. I have thick skin and a little hot water is not a problem for me at all."

"But I'd better go out and get a basin. I'll just wipe it off. If you want to take a shower, wait for me and I'll be back soon."

"No, no, no, I mainly want to wash this little girl. She was buried in the dirt when we rescued her. Even after changing her clothes, there must still be a lot of dust on her. I want to wash her."

"Well, I see the store owner has a daughter who is about the same size as her. I'll go and buy her some clothes that will fit her."

"Okay, boss, I'll wait for you here."

After knowing what Xu Zhao was going to do, Shen Jia hurried out to find some clean clothes. Soon, under the money offensive, the shopkeeper sold his daughter's new clothes and promised to make a more beautiful one for his daughter. Only then did the girl give up.

After returning to the room, the two of them bathed the little girl together. This time, both of them could see that her body was almost completely covered with scars. It felt like she had no flesh on her body, with only the skin connecting all the bones.

Stupid, stupid, damn it, Shen Jia couldn't help cursing in his heart. These people didn't treat women as human beings at all. Maybe they treated animals better than women.

This society serves men from top to bottom. She felt that if she didn't find a way to speed up her progress, she didn't know where else in the world such a thing would happen.

Even Xu Zhao, who was always carefree, was afraid that he would accidentally break the other person's bones when he saw it, and his eyes couldn't help but tear up while washing.

Finally, looking at the refreshed little girl lying on the bed, Xu Zhao said viciously, "Master, if I meet those who returned her to this state, I will tear them into pieces and make them wish they were dead."

Shen Jia patted her shoulder and said, "Me too, but let's get some rest now. We still have things to do tomorrow."

In fact, Shen Jia didn't know where the other person was injured. The time he was in a coma was indeed quite long. If he didn't wake up, she was worried that the injury might be to the brain which could not be detected, which would be terrible.

In the darkness of the night, she began to think about it. Has she really achieved perfection with every step she has taken?

Just as she turned over and tried to glimpse the faint moonlight in the night sky through the window paper, she was suddenly hit in the waist by the hard object in her purse.

When she pulled it out and looked at it, she found that it was the jade token she had obtained from a man on the street before. She didn't believe that there was no Duobao Pavilion in the capital of Hezhou as the man said, so she decided to take the one hundred taels.

Otherwise, she would have lost a few taels of silver. Shen Jia never does business that makes a loss. If it is not available here, then she will just pawn the jade token. At least it looks like the material is good, and she can get a few taels of silver.

With this thought in mind, Shen Jia clutched his unexpected fortune tightly and fell asleep peacefully.

When she woke up the next day, she was still unconscious. Shen Jia had no choice but to leave her in the inn and let the owner take care of her.

Before leaving, Shen Jia called An Yun over and said, "Brother An, I have something I want you to do."

“Miss Shen, please speak.”

"You know the little girl we rescued is still an undocumented person. I'd like you to get her a travel permit that allows her to travel freely. The price is no problem. Do you understand?"

"I see."

After hearing An Yun's agreement, Shen Jia stuffed the banknotes he had prepared in advance into her hand. Perhaps because he couldn't show it to anyone else, Shen Jia remained determined to save this person, just like the person who pulled him out of the abyss.

So when they went out, they split into two groups. An Yun went alone to get a pass, while Shen Jia took his guards to look for suitable partners.

After inquiring, it was found that not everyone could build a grain store that could ship 60,000 kilograms at a time, so Shen Jia finally set three targets.

They are the top three grain shops in Hezhou Prefecture: Yurui Grain Shop, Fenggu Grain Shop, and Maoyuan Grain Shop.

Of course it would be better to find the best shop for this cooperation, so Shen Jia’s first stop was Yu Rui Grain Shop. The main store was always crowded with people, so of course there was no shortage of partners.

As soon as he saw Shen Jia's attire, age and gender, and that she wanted soybeans, a food with extremely low profit margins, he drove her away without saying a word.

"Come on, come on, what's a little girl doing out there playing when she's not at home embroidering?"

"Hey you!"

Xu Zhao disagreed when he heard this. What was this guy talking about? He wanted to chase them away before they even heard what they said clearly. Is this how to do business?

Shen Jia wondered if he had triggered the female supporting role buff here?

Seeing that the other party didn't even listen to him, it seemed that his deal was going to fall through, so he pulled Xu Zhao away who wanted to argue with the other party.

He said to the people waiting outside, "This store is not suitable for us. Let's go look somewhere else."

Xu Zhao, who was being held back, was still furious. He didn't understand why Shen Jia pulled him away. He should have taught that naive guy a lesson.

"Boss, it was clearly that guy's fault. Why did you pull me out? You should have let me punch him."

"Don't get excited. Have you forgotten that we still need the store to deliver the goods to Ning'an Town this time? We just saw that the store is not sincere. Why should we waste our breath on it? Besides, there are only a few of us. How can we beat them?

Just treat it as a dog barking and ignore it, be good."

After being comforted by Shen Jia, Xu Zhao's mood immediately improved a lot. Thinking back to when Shen Jia scolded that man like a dog, he felt relieved.

He smiled and said, "Boss, you are still good at talking. Which one should we go to next?"

"Looking at the state of the grain shops in the prefectural city, let's go to the third-ranked Maoyuan grain shop first. If they still don't work, we can go to some small shops on the street that look good and buy a little from each store. It's feasible to collect the final quantity."

"good!"

When we arrived at Maoyuan Grain Shop, there was a constant stream of people inside, and it looked similar to the first one we just saw.

Seeing the arrival of the guests, the clerk who was sitting idle immediately stepped forward to chat: "I wonder what the two ladies are here to buy? Our shop is also well-known in the capital. We can find anything you want."

After hearing his boast, Shen Jia asked the clerk seriously, "We're here to discuss soybean sales. I wonder how much stock you have?"

"Then don't worry, our store has more stock than you can even imagine. How much are you planning to buy?"

When he heard Shen Jia's question, the other party's expression did not change at all, but asked about her arrangements.

Shen Jia didn't waste any words and immediately made a "six" gesture with his hand to the waiter, "Sixty thousand."

Hearing Shen Jia's words, the clerk's eyes lit up. This deal was worth hundreds of taels. He quickly and warmly greeted him, "Dear guest, please come in and discuss in detail. We have tea inside, so we can talk slowly. You also know that this deal is not going to be done so quickly."

After Shen Jia and Xu Zhao were sent inside, there was a person sitting inside who immediately stood up when he saw the newcomers.

"Please take a seat and have some tea. I'm Liu Rulan, one of the shop's managers. You can tell me if you have any requests."

This was the first time Shen Jia saw a female steward in the city. He immediately became excited and motioned Xu Zhao to sit down like him.

Dilly-dallying wasn't her style, so she said decisively, "We need 60,000 kilograms of high-quality soybeans. Do you have that much in stock in your store?"

Unexpectedly, the other party did not directly answer Shen Jia's question, but instead asked, "I wonder what the lady wants so many soybeans for? Of course, this is not something we must inquire about. After all, only the military has always purchased large quantities of this stuff. If anything happens, our shop can't afford it."

I didn't expect that this was the only question. "We're just using it as seeds. If you don't believe me, you can come with us. We don't have many people with us right now, so we need you to deliver the goods to Ning'an Town in Linyuan County."

No one could imagine how shocked Liu Rulan was when she heard that the destination was an unknown town.

At the same time, he also began to fight for his own interests. "Since the girl said so, our price will not be so cheap. Renting so many ox carts is also a considerable expense."

"That's something to talk about."

After hearing this, Shen Jia immediately understood that the other party also had a deep background, and he took out so many soybeans without blinking an eye.

Afterwards, the two of them had a discussion about the specific price of soybeans, which made Xu Zhao feel that he was redundant. He originally thought that he had learned a lot these days, but after listening to what the two said, he felt that he had not even learned the basics.
