Chapter 211: Grain Market

After figuring this out, Xiao Jingyu and the shop assistants didn’t need to intervene.

The other people who came to buy grain had already attacked the group that wanted to carry five bags each.

Someone even pointed out:

“Hey, I remember you. You are Liu Saner from Hulu Lane in the west of the city, right?”

“If I remember correctly, we met last time when we bought grain together. Yes, three days ago.”

“That day you were still telling me that the grain price might get lower and lower. For people like us who don’t have much spare money, we can buy as much as we eat, which is the least likely to lose money.”

“Did your family suddenly become rich today? You can carry five bags of rice at once?”

Hearing that someone had revealed Liu Saner’s background so thoroughly, the other people couldn’t sit still.

In this horrible weather, if they were not afraid of starving to death,

they would all stay at home to wait out the winter. They did not want to go out until the snow had completely melted.

In this way, how could ordinary people make a living? The money in their pockets would only get less and less.

It was impossible that they were so poor that they could only buy three days of rice and food yesterday, but after three days, they could buy several months of rice and food.

Even if they became thieves, they might not be able to steal so much money at once. There must be something wrong.

"Alas, there is so much food in the shop. I only need five bags, which is not too much."

"After I buy it, there will definitely be food in the shop. You all have a share. Hurry up and let me buy it?"

"Everyone buys their own. I don't spend your money. Hurry up and put the food down for me."

"I, I will give you the money and carry it back one bag at a time."

Fearing that he could not complete the task, and afraid that others would come forward to beat him in excitement,

Liu Saner reached out to grab the bag of food again, ignoring Xiao Jingyu.

Xiao Jingyu sneered, even if he did not carry out the Yongjing Marquis Mansion.

But he was such a tall man standing in front of the other party, whose height was only up to his chin,

and such a short man dared not take him seriously. Was he too gentle?

With just one move, Xiao Jingzhan clamped Liu Saner's hands behind his back:

"I told you not to sell so much to you. What's the matter? You didn't wear your ears when you went out today. Didn't you hear?"

"If you want, buy five pounds and take them back. If you don't want, turn around and leave. No one will stop you. We don't need your business, understand?"

"Ah, ah, ah..."

Liu Saner screamed in pain and hurriedly begged for mercy from Xiao Jingyu, saying that he didn't dare to do it again.

After being released by Xiao Jingyu, Liu Saner's face was full of unbearable.

If he could bring back five bags of grain, he could get a reward of one or two taels of silver.

What kind of work, in one day, in such a short time, allows him to earn one or two taels of silver?

"So are you going to buy it or not?"

Five catties, no more.

No matter what Liu Saner said, or even whoever came, Xiao Jingyu's answer today was only this.

It's not that he won't sell to anyone, but whoever comes must follow the rules.

"No!"

Liu San'er was also angry.

"There are so many shops in the capital, and you are not the only one selling grain. What's there to be crazy about?" "You

are not willing to make money even if it is delivered to your door. If you are not short of money, why open a shop? You might as well close it!"

"If you don't sell it to me, I will buy it somewhere else."

"I really don't believe it. I have money, but I can't buy grain. Just wait and see!"

Anyway, Liu San'er was absolutely unwilling to give up the one or two taels of reward.

At most, he would go to a few more places, or even buy a bag of grain from a store, and he would collect these five bags of grain.

Seeing through Liu San'er's idea, Xiao Jingzhan smiled coldly.

Not to mention five bags, even if the opponent ran away with both legs broken, he would lose if he could buy more than five kilograms of grain at one time.

Since Xiao Jingyu was so sure, there was certainly no risk of being slapped in the face.

After Liu Saner, who didn't believe in evil, left, he gave up the number "five" for the sake of safety,

put on an honest face, and said that he wanted to buy a bag of grain.

Just when Liu Saner thought that there would be no problem this time, he was rejected by the other party.

"Sir, I'm really sorry."

"We have limited cash grain in our store. In order to let more people eat, we can only buy five kilograms each."

"No food?"

Liu Saner was shocked. Rewards were silver, but he was still very concerned about his daily food.

The clerk shook his head: "There is not much ready-made grain to sell in the shop. The grain we have is all piled up in the warehouse."

Liu Saner breathed a sigh of relief:

"Since there is grain in the warehouse, just move more to sell."

"I'm not in a hurry. I can wait for you to move the grain from the warehouse and sell it to me. I can sell the ready-made grain in the shop to others. I can wait."

One or two taels of silver.

He would wait until the sun went down.

The clerk then shook his head and refused:

"The heavy snow has just stopped, and the ice and snow have not yet melted. The road from the warehouse is not far, but it is too slippery."

"So the store only moves ready-made grain to sell once a day, and there is not much."

Just based on the situation after the heavy snow, no matter what kind of reason Liu Saner wanted, the clerk could make it up for him and

ensure that all of them were reasonable and Liu Saner could not find fault.

"..."

Liu Saner was depressed. He saw that there was grain in the store,

but the store insisted on selling it in small quantities and refused to sell it to him in bulk. What could he do?

"I don't want much. I just want to buy one bag, just one bag. Please be tolerant and sell me one bag."

As long as he could grind out one bag, he would have the confidence to grind out five bags in other shops and earn one or two taels of silver.

The clerk shook his head firmly:

"If I sell you one bag, I'm afraid our shop can only be open until noon today and then we have to close."

"Because there is no rice to sell today. So, if it really doesn't work, you can go to other shops to ask."

Even though he knew where the other party was going and the final result would be the same, the clerk was still very polite and friendly for the sake of face.

Liu Saner: "..."

Go to other shops to buy, this principle is not something he doesn't understand and doesn't need anyone to teach him.

The problem is that he has failed in two shops...

Liu Saner suddenly had a bad premonition. Can he still make one or two taels of silver today?

Facts have proved that Liu Saner does not have this fortune.

He almost ran himself to pieces. He couldn't even carry one bag, let alone five bags of grain.

More importantly, the employer had told them that there were some shops they were not allowed to go to.

But in order to earn this little silver, Liu Saner thought, where did he buy it from?

The employer couldn't tell. Rice and grain all look the same, so why can't I do it?

He had worked hard all day, and he didn't feel bad about taking this little silver.

Liu Saner had prepared himself mentally, but his work was in vain.
