Chapter 25 The Excited People

Upon hearing Gu Xinyan's words, Guo Ziyi's eyes lit up with an undisguised gleam. He gripped the card tightly and strode toward the food area.

After circling around, we finally stopped at one spot and looked at the rice piled up inside the shelf.

What greeted the eye was a sea of ​​white grains, each one plump and full, a truly delightful sight. Guo Ziyi liked it more and more as he looked at it; these were all high-quality grains.

Even in Chang'an, rice of this quality is rare. Even in the imperial palace, you might not find rice this good, without the slightest impurity.

Looking at the rice and various grains piled on the shelves in front of him, Guo Ziyi couldn't help but reach out his hand, wanting to touch them.

But the moment they got close, they were stopped by an invisible barrier, and their hands froze in mid-air.

Upon seeing this, he paused for a moment, then remembered what Gu Xinyan had just said, and quickly swiped the card in his hand at the machine next to the shelf.

With a "beep," the previously dark and unresponsive machine lit up, and a series of numbers appeared on the screen. Upon closer inspection, the numbers were the balance in Guo Ziyi's card.

After curiously examining the rice for a while, Guo Ziyi reached out to touch the rice on the shelf again. This time, there was no obstruction, and he touched it directly. Feeling the texture under his hand, he unconsciously grabbed a small handful and looked at the rice grains in his palm.

He glanced at the white flour on the shelf next to him, and for some reason, his eyes welled up with tears. He blinked, suppressing the bitterness in his heart, before looking at Gu Xinyan again.

"Miss Gu, I need quite a lot of this rice and flour, as well as sugar, seasonings, and seeds... this..."

Before Guo Ziyi could finish speaking, Gu Xinyan interjected, "General Guo, just tell me how much you need, and I'll get it for you. You can arrange for someone to carry it back to your residence. There's no need to take everything from the shelves!"

Hearing this, Guo Ziyi smiled and nodded, "That's great, then I'll trouble Miss Gu!"

After saying that, he called Yuanzi, who was standing next to him, to call back the group of men who were still looking in the mirror in the corner of the store.

Seeing this, Gu Xinyan took out all the things Guo Ziyi had just needed and told 011 to deduct the dimensional coins from his card.

When the group of generals arrived, they saw that the ground was piled with things. They were a little confused about what was going on. Before they could ask, they heard Guo Ziyi's voice.

"You all take these things back to the manor first. I just bought them. When Xiaoxin and the others come back tonight, I'll cook them a nice meal and we'll have a good time!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, the generals responded loudly and excitedly. Their excited voices carried far and wide, reaching the ears of the onlookers outside the shop, who couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"What's going on here? What was that white light just now? Have we found some kind of treasure here?"

"How should I know? This place wasn't like this when I passed by yesterday. How did it change so much? It looks like a shop selling things. I don't know if we can go in!"

"I just saw General Guo and the others go in. I wonder what that girl's background is, that she has such abilities."

"Who says otherwise? There's been war here, and everyone who could run away has fled. I don't know what this girl was thinking, coming here to open a shop. I wonder what she sells!"

Everyone chatted animatedly, having witnessed the strange event. However, since the people inside were all adults, they dared not venture in rashly, fearing they might offend some important figure.

Just then, I saw the adults carrying large boxes out, their faces beaming with smiles, clearly in good spirits.

"Hahaha, it seems everyone is very curious about your place."

Upon seeing the crowd gathered outside the shop, Guo Ziyi laughed heartily, looked at Gu Xinyan, and then smiled at the crowd, saying:

"Everyone, please stop crowding around. This is Miss Gu's shop. If you want to buy anything, you are welcome to come in and take a look."

Miss Gu will be staying here for a while, so please feel free to visit her if you need to!

"Alright, then this old man will head back to the manor first. If Miss Gu needs anything, please go to the manor and find Yuanzi!" Guo Ziyi said with a smile and left.

Watching his retreating figure, Gu Xinyan finally turned her gaze to the crowd gathered outside, smiling and inviting them in, "Everyone, come in and have a look! My shop sells a lot of things, and we have plenty of grain too..."

Before Gu Xinyan could finish speaking, the people outside, upon hearing about the grain, all had their eyes light up and couldn't help but ask questions.

"Boss Gu, do you still have grain for sale? Can we buy some?"

"Yes, the only place that sells grain here is the shop on the east side, but they've been short of grain there lately, and we haven't been able to buy any for a long time. Mr. Gu, can we buy some of your grain?"

"It's also because our land is barren; we can't even grow enough food to eat! Sigh!"

"Who can argue with that? Those people from the Western Regions often come to harass us, causing widespread panic. How can anyone be in the mood to farm?"

Listening to their words, Gu Xinyan felt somewhat helpless, after all, the current situation here was indeed like this.

Although she couldn't change anything, the food was cheaper than in the shops, enough to feed them. So she stepped aside, pointing inside the shop, and explained:

"Everyone, don't worry, you can buy any of the grain I have here. The prices are reasonable, and there are no restrictions. You can buy as much as you like."

Also, my shop is a little different from other shops. I accept anything here, not just silver. Embroidered handkerchiefs, porcelain vases, books, medicinal herbs, etc., can all be exchanged for it.

I use dimensional currency to buy things here. You just need to put the items you bring into the exchange machine on the counter, and it will automatically exchange them for the dimensional currency my shop requires.

After you've exchanged your currency, you can buy whatever you want in the store.

Upon hearing Gu Xinyan's words, the crowd gathered outside the store rushed into the store in a hurry.

Putting everything else aside, just the food alone is enough to attract them.
