He then stood opposite the two of them.
Ah Man used a polished stone bowl to fill three bowls with water, placed them on the ground, and then left.
"You two came to see me because of the grain, right?" Chen Tiansheng asked.
"Yes." The city lord nodded.
"The city's food reserves ran out six months ago!"
"The grain that Master Chen gave me lasted for a month and a half!"
"During that time, I sent people to even more distant places!"
"We've finally acquired a batch of grain!"
"This batch of grain is about to run out!"
"I've done the math, and it's harvest season right now!"
"We've come to find Master Chen, hoping he can sell us some grain!"
"When I entered the base and heard the harvesters say that they had already harvested three crops, I could hardly believe it!" The city lord picked up his bowl and drank water, his hands trembling.
The shock they felt was unimaginable.
"I wasn't very confident at the time."
"When I visited the granary and saw that it was overflowing, I finally believed it!" He took a sip of water and choked on it.
He wiped his mouth and said again.
"I never imagined that Mr. Chen was not only a businessman!"
"He's also a skilled grower!"
"It's amazing that we've managed to increase the number of crops from two harvests a year to six harvests a year!"
"You flatter me!" Chen Tiansheng waved his hand.
"How much food do you want?" he asked.
"I want all the grain in all the warehouses!"
"Lord of the city, leave some for me!" Shou Niang said.
"Alright!"
"I'll leave one warehouse for you," the city lord said.
"Yes." Shou Niang nodded.
“Okay,” Chen Tiansheng said.
"What will you exchange?"
“Wang Shi!” The city lord said, taking out a blood-red agate-like gemstone.
"It is the most precious gem in the world."
"One can be exchanged for ten cities!"
"This is an heirloom from my ancestors!"
"The city is about to run out of food!"
"I have no choice but to trade it with you!"
"The city lord's meaning!"
"Did you suffer a loss?" Seeing that he looked a little pained, Chen Tiansheng smiled and asked.
"Confirmed!" the city lord nodded.
"But no matter how painful it is, we have to take it out!"
“Otherwise, everyone in the city will starve to death!” he said.
"I don't want this thing!" Chen Tiansheng shook his head.
"Don't want it?" The city lord was stunned.
Shou Niang also looked surprised!
Such a precious item is something that so many people dream of but can't obtain!
He actually doesn't want it?
"Gemstones are indeed precious!"
“But I have absolutely no interest in it!” Chen Tiansheng said.
"Then what do you need?" the city lord asked.
"land!"
"So, Master Chen is still interested in land!" Upon hearing this, he understood.
"Which location of land do you want?" he asked.
“The one across the river,” Chen Tiansheng added.
"It's just sitting there abandoned anyway!"
"Give it to me, I can use it to grow grain!"
"Alright!" the city lord nodded.
"But as before, I have to lay out the unpleasant things upfront."
"As if anything were to happen to Master Chen."
“It has nothing to do with me!” he said.
“Of course,” Chen Tiansheng nodded.
He then smiled and said, "It's impossible for anything to happen to me!"
"Has the city lord noticed that things have become much more stable outside the city recently?" he said.
"indeed!"
"Some of the bandits who used to frequent the area seem to have disappeared," the city lord said after thinking for a moment.
“It’s not that it disappeared, it’s that it died!” Chen Tiansheng said.
"Dead?" The city lord was taken aback.
"Mm." Chen Tiansheng nodded.
"Some time ago, they started eyeing this area!"
"They want to steal our food."
"But in the end, their attempt to steal a chicken backfired!"
“They were all killed by my men!” he said.
"I see!" Upon hearing this, the city lord understood.
"These scum are better off dead!"
"Otherwise, it would really be a headache!" he said.
"Now that the deal is agreed!"
"Lord, please go back and retrieve the agreement!"
"Get the grain transport vehicles ready!"
"Signing complete!"
"The grain can be transported now!" Chen Tiansheng said.
"Okay, then I'll go back and prepare!"
"Come back after you're done!" the city lord nodded and said.
"Okay!!" Chen Tiansheng nodded.
After that, he got up, walked out the door, and disappeared.
"Master Chen, I have no land!"
"What should we do?" Shou Niang asked after the city lord left.
“We can exchange it for something else!” Chen Tiansheng said.
"And I can give it to you at the lowest price!"
"Then how about using your body?" Shou Niang got up and took off the animal skin.
A magnificent scene unfolded before Chen Tiansheng's eyes.
"I have completed my evolution!"
"I hope Mr. Chen won't mind?" she said shyly.
“No!” Chen Tiansheng said.
"That's good!"
She walked over, sat on Chen Tiansheng's lap, and stuck out her long tongue to lick his face.
"Does it have to be this way?" Chen Tiansheng asked.
"Except for this."
“I have nothing else to offer!” Shou Niang said.
“You do!!” Chen Tiansheng said calmly.
