Chapter 1448: False Joy
Lu Xiaoxiao was very happy because it was raining, so she sat by the window and watched the rain. But after a while she found that the rain had stopped and the sun came out, and she was stunned for a moment.
It took her a while to realize that it was just a sun shower and it was not going to rain heavily at all.
People from the surrounding villages had the same reaction as Lu Xiaoxiao. They also thought it was going to rain heavily, and their eyes were red with joy. However, they were not happy for long because they saw the rain stop. This made them feel cold in their hearts, and the bright sun above their heads told them that their joy was just a false alarm.
At 8:30 in the evening, Er Shunzi came to Lu Xiaoxiao's house and asked Lu Xiaoxiao: "Master Xiao, did you see it raining at noon?"
"See, sun shower."
"I know. When I saw it raining this afternoon, I thought God had pity on us and sent rain to help me. But I didn't expect that God was playing a trick on me."
"Oh, when will these days without rain end?" Liu Erdan sighed.
"Don't worry, the sun shower has appeared, and the heavy rain will definitely come soon."
"Let's hope so. Otherwise, the villagers will have to tighten their belts again this year."
"Let's not talk about this for now. Look at what's under the table." Lu Xiaoxiao pointed at three large bags under the table.
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Biao and the other three immediately looked in the direction of Lu Xiaoxiao's finger. When they saw the three large sacks under the table, they were so excited that they couldn't speak.
"Come and see what I got for you?" Lu Xiaoxiao said to the four excited people.
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Biao immediately walked towards the table. When Liu Erdan and the others saw Liu Biao walking towards the table, they immediately followed Liu Biao and walked towards the table.
"Uncle Xiao, is this the food you found for us?" Liu Erdan asked Lu Xiaoxiao in a trembling voice as he looked at the white rice and shiny white flour in front of him.
"Yes, this is the food I found for you, a total of 300 kilograms."
"so much?"
"It's okay. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to sell it so I only took 300 kilograms."
Liu Biao and the other three couldn't help but swallow their saliva after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said. They didn't expect that the person Lu Xiaoxiao knew would have so much of the scarce food on the market. It turned out that the person was not someone they could contact.
"Mr. Xiao, thank you. But we can't give you the money for the grain now. We can only give it to you after the grain is sold." Liu Biao said to Lu Xiaoxiao.
"There's no rush to find money. Think about how to sell the food first."
"Master Xiao, can I ask what the price of rice and flour is? This way we can set the price."
"They're all one dollar per pound. Don't think it's expensive. The food I got for you is all high-quality."
"We knew it when we saw the rice and flour just now."
"Now that you know the cost price, how much do you plan to sell it for?"
"Two dollars."
Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head after hearing the price, and then she said, "It's too low. This price is not worthy of the food I got."
When Liu Biao saw that the price he offered was rejected by Lu Xiaoxiao, he was not angry at all, because he knew that everything Lu Xiaoxiao did was for their own good.
