Xu Ning saw that Qi Canglan's expression became serious, as if the person just now was not him.

"How much do you want?" Xu Ning was not someone who could be bullied, so he became serious at this moment.

Qi Canglan's eyes flashed with surprise. Xu Ning didn't look like he was aimless. He pondered for a moment: "I need at least 100 stones."

"One hundred stones?" When Xu Ning heard this number, he immediately thought of Hai Qing.

"Yes, if possible, I hope to gather all of it within this month." Qi Canglan really needed this batch of food.

Xu Ning fell silent for a moment. She could certainly satisfy him. It would take almost a month to ride from the south to the north city.

Of course, this is the one-way time, and Qi Canglan also knows it.

"But I don't have that much." The part that was bitten by the rat was her real loss, which everyone in the team knew.

"How much do you have?" Qi Canglan felt a little depressed when he heard the news. One hundred stones was still his minimum requirement.

Sure enough, it was too unrealistic for him to place his hopes on a small grain merchant.

"Seventy dan at most." Xu Ning brought more than a hundred dan of grain, but one-third of it was contaminated by rat bites. Seventy dan was the final amount she could take out.

Moreover, after she took it out, the store could no longer be opened.

"Not enough." Qi Canglan frowned. Madam Fang suggested, "How about I pay for the other thirty stones?"

Xu Ning and Qi Canglan glanced at her, only to see Madam Fang smiling gently and saying, "These thirty dan are for disaster relief. If the drought continues, I'm afraid many people will die."

"With these thirty stones, can Alan's predicament be resolved?" Mrs. Fang asked Qi Canglan gently.

"Aunt Su, I need at least 100 dan of grain every month." Qi Canglan did not hide it. These 100 dan of grain could only solve his difficulties this month.

"I can give you one hundred stones every month, but there is a request." Xu Ning suddenly spoke, and now their eyes were on Xu Ning.

"I bought a shop, but it seems I can't open it now, so you take over." I have no food left, so am I going to open a shop and sell air?

"No problem!" Qi Canglan originally thought that Xu Ning had bought the shop, but after asking carefully, he found out that he was actually renting it, and he only rented it for one month.

Qi Canglan: ...I am speechless.

Xu Ning was very happy to hear that he agreed. She just didn't want to lose money.

"Let's quote the price based on the grain price in North City." Another reason why Qi Canglan was so anxious was that he could no longer buy grain in North City.

Xu Ning's eyes lit up. Three times! But she also knew that for a business to last long, it must be mutually beneficial.

"I'll give you a 20% discount, just consider it as a discount for our first cooperation." Xu Ning said generously that if the cooperation goes smoothly, he will keep the same price in the future.

In an instant, Qi Canglan looked at Xu Ning with different eyes.

Pei Chen cautiously hid Xu Ning behind him. Mrs. Fang coughed twice in embarrassment, complaining in her heart that this guy wasn't afraid of scaring the child away with that look.

Xu Ning covered his mouth and laughed behind Pei Chen, "I'm rich, I'm rich!"

"Here, this is my family's ancestral wine, to celebrate our first successful cooperation!" That night, Xu Ning took out a bottle of wine he had exchanged from the treasure chest, but as soon as he opened the lid, the wine and the bottle were snatched away.

"Is this wine made from grapes?" Qi Canglan exclaimed in amazement. He had never smelled wine with such a rich aroma! And it was fruit wine!
