Chapter 333 Go to the restaurant first

"You mean, there might be a war soon?" Wu asked in surprise.

Shen Qingqian nodded, "The general wouldn't do anything without a purpose. You know how skilled Third Brother Cheng and the others are. Since they're being sent out, and for such a long time, it's not a small matter."

Wu frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Shen Qingqian and asked, "If this is true, shouldn't we tell everyone about it?"

She had another worry that she didn't mention. If it was just an ordinary war, it would be fine. But if the war didn't go well, or if other accidents happened, the young and strong men among them would be the first to be sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

Shen Qingqian nodded, "Of course I have to tell you, but I can only remind the heads of each family privately, because I'm just guessing."

I won’t talk about it if there is something going on. If there is no war, I might be blamed.

"That's right. I'll talk to your eldest brother later and ask him to remind everyone." Mrs. Wu nodded.

As for whether other people believe it or not, it is none of their business.

Shen Qingqian continued, "We need to prepare early and buy what we need as soon as possible, otherwise prices may skyrocket."

In fact, the main thing is to store food. It’s okay to make do with other things, but you absolutely cannot go hungry.

Alas, it would be better if she had more accelerating fertilizers. It would also be possible to secretly stockpile some food for emergencies.

What a pity, there are only a few bags left, and it hasn’t reached that point yet.

"Well, let's see what other families say first. If we can go together, then we can go together." Wu said.

This group of people are now living together. Unless there is a special reason, Wu should be taken with him.

Shen Qingqian nodded, "Alright, let's go with a few more people and bring back as much as possible."

After they had agreed on this, Chen Xiao went to talk to them one by one in the evening.

Surprisingly, no one disbelieved it.

However, things did not turn out as Shen Qingqian and Wu had thought, with each family privately pooling money to stockpile food. Instead, they all asked Shen Xiao to keep a good account and count it as a joint expense for everyone.

"We are already on the same boat. My family can probably still spare a dozen taels of silver. I originally wanted to buy some necessary things for the family after the house was built. But the situation is different now, so I'll take it out first to help everyone out in an emergency." Old Mrs. Chen said frankly.

Although Mrs. Liu felt bad about the money, she still followed suit after thinking about the current situation. "It's the same in our family."

"Master, we have no money. Can the extra expenses be considered as borrowing from everyone?" Jiang Goudan asked Shen Xiao anxiously.

"Okay." This was something Wu had agreed to before, so Shen Xiao nodded decisively.

Jiang Goudan was so moved that his eyes filled with tears and he thanked him repeatedly.

After the matter was settled, the next day Wu picked ten people and asked Shen Qingqian to go into the city to buy things.

This time, Shen Xiao led the team into the city, and Shen Qingqian's task was to bargain.

"Sixth sister, you have been to the city several times, and you are familiar with the grain shops and grain prices in the city. It will be up to you in a while." Shen Xiao smiled, and there was a hint of joking in his smile.

Shen Qingqian smiled confidently, "Big brother, just look after me later."

She had bought from there twice before and was quite familiar with the situation of those grain stores. They bought a lot this time, so there was definitely room for bargaining.

The group set out early and were the first to enter the city.

At this time, the morning light in northern Hubei City was at its best, and many shops were still closed.

"Brother, let's go to the Yunzhongxian Restaurant first." Shen Qingqian looked around and turned to Shen Xiao.

Shen Xiao was puzzled, "Why go to the restaurant?"
