Although the rice festival was over, there were still many people in the black market, and the white rice quickly attracted people.
"How much is the rice, young man?"
"No ticket needed, one yuan for one pound." Qiao Mo whispered. The rice here is almost twice as expensive as in Hongshan Town, which she had never expected before.
"Order less, I'll buy more."
"Uncle, I didn't quote your price. You should have seen other people's goods. My rice is much cheaper than theirs, but the price is the same. If it's any lower, I won't be able to sell it." Qiao Mo smiled and shook his head.
The man took a handful of rice and examined it carefully. It was indeed top-grade rice, without a speck of grit in it. He nodded and said, "Give me ten pounds."
Qiao Mo quickly weighed the rice for him and collected the money.
After the first one, there was another. Soon, the news that there was fine rice here and the price was not expensive spread throughout Heilongjiang. People who wanted to sell rice flocked here. Qiao Mo asked everyone to line up while he quickly weighed and collected money. In less than an hour, ten kilograms of rice were sold out.
She picked up the backpack and went to look for Wu Weiqian and his brother, while releasing her spiritual sense to scan the surrounding situation. Soon, several people wearing red armbands came towards her aggressively. She knew that the inspection team had arrived, so she hurriedly ran towards Wu Weiqian and his brother.
"Brother, brother, the inspection team is here, run." Qiao Mo quickly picked up the things and put them into the baskets, then ran towards an empty exit with a basket in each hand.
When Wu Weiqian saw Qiao Mo running away, he also ran after him, shouting, "The inspection team is coming, the inspection team is coming, run!"
The three of them ran all the way and, led by Qiao Mo, ran into an empty alley. The Wu Weiqian brothers were both out of breath, supporting their knees with their hands and gasping for breath.
"Little sister, those people didn't catch up with us, right?" Wu Weijin asked nervously.
"No, we've already left them behind. Let's rest for a while before going home." Qiao Mo shook his head. "Brother, brother, your physical strength is too poor. You're exhausted after running less than two kilometers."
"Little sister, this is running for life." Wu Weijin said unconvincedly. This is running for life, running for life, not an ordinary run. It is normal to be so tired.
"Xiao Jin, stop talking. Look at my younger sister. She's carrying so many things, but she's not even blushing or out of breath. She's so far behind us." Wu Weiqian saw Qiao Mo carrying a backpack and holding their baskets in both hands. He ran so far but didn't react at all. They were two grown men, but they were empty-handed and almost collapsed from exhaustion. This made him feel ashamed.
"Brother, brother, keep training. One day, you will be as relaxed as me." Qiao Mo encouraged them.
"Well, we will definitely practice hard." Wu Weiqian nodded. Today's experience taught him a lesson. They must become stronger. Otherwise, not only will they not be able to support their younger sister in the future, they may even bring trouble to her.
"Little sister, we must be very good." Today's experience also gave Wu Weijin a wake-up call: If it wasn't his little sister, who knows what would happen today. They can't live under the little sister's wings all their lives.
