Chapter 2 As long as you are fast enough, I will not starve to death



Phew.

Sang Jueqian couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing Li Junyan looking at him, Sang Jueqian quickly covered his mouth again.

"I'm sorry." Sang Jueqian explained in a low voice, "I didn't mean it."

She just didn't expect that in such a situation, Li Junyan would still have the mind to joke with his subordinates.

Li Junyan looked at Sang Jueqian deeply and did not answer Sang Jueqian's words.

Xu San was still standing aside, but he obviously couldn't see Sang Jueqian.

If he talked to Sang Jueqian at this time, Xu San would definitely say that he was hallucinating because of poisoning.

But he knew he was fine! He wasn't hallucinating!

After hearing what Li Junyan said, Xu San burst into laughter.

As long as his prince doesn't want to die!

Thinking about going to buy food, Xu San's mood became heavy again.

“Your Highness, the closest state to Tingzhou is Xizhou, but Xizhou is also suffering from drought, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to buy food.

When we came here, we passed through Yizhou and Shazhou. The price of food was also high and the quantity was limited, so we were not allowed to buy more.

If you want to sell grain in large quantities, you have to go to Suzhou at least. But Suzhou is too far away from here, and it will take at least half a month to go back and forth. I'm afraid it won't be in time."

How could Li Junyan not know what Xu San said?

But there is no other way at the moment.

"It doesn't matter if the price is high, just buy as many as you can. At the same time, have Lin Qi take his men to Suzhou and have him hurry up and return in half a month."

Sang Jueqian listened to the conversation between the two, his mouth moving faster than his brain, and he said directly, "If you want to buy food or drinks, come to me!"

As for Yizhou, Shazhou, and Suzhou, although she didn't know their exact locations, the distances between the states were definitely not close. They were living in ancient times and there were no efficient means of transportation. Going to those places to buy food was like distant water that could not quench immediate thirst.

Might as well just buy it from her!

When Xu San heard Li Junyan's instructions, he responded and turned to leave.

But just as he took a step forward, he heard the prince's voice again behind him.

"etc."

Xu San stopped in an instant, turned around and waited for instructions.

But he saw that his prince didn't even look at him, his eyes were fixed on the window in front of him.

Li Junyan's voice was a little anxious. "Can you really sell me food and water?"

"This..." Sang Jueqian was a little uncertain.

Although the two of them could communicate through the window, Sang Jueqian was not sure whether they could exchange things.

"Wait for me."

Sang Jueqian said this and turned and ran.

The grocery store is a two-story building. The second floor is used as a living area and the first floor is a shop.

There are three wide rooms. Except for the open space in front of the counter that leads directly to the door, the rest of the space is filled with shelves.

The shelves to the east of the counter are all filled with food.

Rice, flour, grains, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, snacks, beverages, instant noodles, alcohol, braised meat, desserts, bread, everything is available.

Sang Jueqian took a bottle of mineral water and a meat floss bread, trotted back to the window, and threw the two things on the table in front of Li Junyan.

Under the two people's nervous gaze, the two things fell on the table.

The meat floss bread rolled around and then stopped moving, but the mineral water bottle rolled to Li Junyan's hand.

Li Junyan held it down with his backhand, "What is this?"

"Water!" Sang Jueqian explained, "There's water in here. Just unscrew the lid and you can drink the water."

Li Junyan did as he was told and easily unscrewed the lid.

There was indeed water inside, clear and transparent, without any mud or sand, and it smelled a little sweet.

Li Junyan stared at it for a moment, then brought the bottle to his mouth and took a sip.

The water was clear and sweet, and extremely thirst-quenching, no worse than the water he drank in Chang'an.

If we can buy a lot of this water, it may not solve the drought in Tingzhou, but it can at least save the people of Tingzhou.

Li Junyan put the mineral water on the table, stood up with his hands on the table, and bowed to Sang Jueqian.

"Tingzhou suffered a severe drought for three years, with countless people starving to death, exchanging their own children for food, and suffering from cholera.

When Le Zhi first arrived in Tingzhou, he couldn't bear to see this tragic scene, so he asked the girl to sell water and food to Le Zhi. Le Zhi thanked the girl on behalf of all the people for her generosity!

Sang Jueqian didn't expect Li Junyan to suddenly stand up and salute, and it was too late to stop him.

After listening to him, Sang Jueqian agreed without any hesitation.

"Sure. I have a wide variety of items in my grocery store. I can sell you anything you want. If I don't have anything here, I can also buy it for you from outside."

Li Junyan bowed again, "Lezhi thanks you, young lady!"

Sang Jueqian waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be like this. You pay me and I sell things. This is a fair trade. I'll go move all the food from the store here first."

After Sang Jueqian finished speaking, he trotted to the shelf to get some food.

Xu San stared blankly at the scene in front of him, his mind in a knot.

At first he didn't believe there was a girl outside the window.

But the two things were suddenly thrown in from outside the window and landed on the table. They were so real that he had to believe that there really was a girl outside the window whom he could not see.

He couldn't see it, and Lin Qi who was standing in the yard couldn't see it either. Only his prince could see it.

His prince is destined to be extraordinary!

Li Junyan stood up straight, "Xu San."

"Your Majesty, I am here."

"Go get the gold cake."

"yes."

Sang Jueqian ran back and forth, bringing all the edible things from the grocery store.

Before submitting each item, Li Junyan was given some basic knowledge.
