Chapter 229 Yuanji Grain Shop 2
Sure enough, not long after they hid behind the tree, they saw several big men who had loaded the car earlier pushing the car in from the back door. The car did not stop all the way and headed towards the small building.
Ji Xiaohan immediately followed behind with the little princess in his arms, went in quietly, and hid on the dark beam, overlooking them.
The second floor of the small building was almost full, and rice bags were neatly stacked in rows. The rice bags moved in tonight were placed on the first floor. The big men were working hard and didn't notice that someone had sneaked into the second floor while they were not paying attention.
"This job is so damn tiring. If the boss didn't pay me so much, I wouldn't be willing to leave my sweet-smelling young wife and come here to work so hard!" One of the big men complained after moving the last bag of rice on the truck, wiping the sweat from his forehead with the corner of his clothes.
The other big man laughed, "That's right. I don't know what's wrong with this boss. He insists on moving us out of nowhere. This little building isn't even as moisture-proof as the warehouse at the shop!"
"Who cares! As long as I'm paid, I'm willing to work without eating or drinking." The three of them pushed the cart away while chatting and laughing.
After the people walked away, Ji Xiaohan carried the little princess down. Looking at so many rice bags on the second floor, Su Wanyan's hands felt a little itchy.
"He has hoarded so much rice, but that old guy is unwilling to sell a single grain. Isn't he just waiting to sell it at double the price? He's making a fortune from the national crisis!" Su Wanyan was indignant.
Ji Xiaohan was not very angry, after all, he had seen a lot of such things.
"Baby, should we wait here for them to finish moving everything, or should we go to the next store?" Ji Xiaohan estimated the time and said, "If my calculations are correct, the grain at Zhao's Grain Store on North Street is moving faster than here. They should have already moved everything. If we rush over now, we can pick it up right away."
Su Wanyan twitched her lips at Ji Xiaohan's "take now, pay now"; the phrase was not only appropriate but also very reasonable. She didn't hesitate any longer and put her arm around the man's waist, saying, "Then let's go to Zhao's Grain Shop first to avoid wasting time."
Ji Xiaohan took the opportunity to hug the little princess and took her to the next house.
Zhaoji Grain Shop is owned by Mr. Zhao, a local wealthy man. Mr. Zhao is a mean and stingy person who only takes in money and never spends it. He values money more than his life. Now that Quanzhou is in such a mess, with prices being driven up and grain being sold at high prices, how could he, who loves money like his life, miss such a good opportunity?
He was the first to come up with the idea of transferring his own grain and then arranging staff to buy low-priced grain from Zhouji Grain Shop. Yuanji Grain Shop was just copying him.
By the time the two men arrived at another transfer point of Zhao's Grain Shop, the grain, twice as much as that of Yuan's Grain Shop, had been fully laid out. The warehouse had only one window the size of a child, and the door was locked with three large locks. The keys were held by Mr. Zhao himself. Without the three keys, no one could enter the warehouse.
Outside the warehouse door, Mr. Zhao specially found six guards to watch over it. Not to mention anyone getting close, even a fly would have no chance of sneaking in.
Su Wanyan has a master like Prince Xiao by her side, and she is determined to challenge such an impossible task.
No one can escape the eyes of those guards?
Prince Xiao held the little princess in his arms and passed away in a flash.
