"Now there are chaos outside, and the food prices are sold to the sky. You are brought by your acquaintances. As long as you can afford the money, I am willing to sell you some."

The owner of the small restaurant looked at Su Qingma and his group, and saw that they looked harmless, he spoke.

Su Qingma was happy and hurriedly thanked the other party: "Thank you. It doesn't matter what we adults eat, but there are many children in the family, and they are only a few years old. I want to buy some fine grains for the children and some brown rice noodles."

As he said that, he handed out a bag of scattered silver to the store. The man took it and opened it and saw that it looked like ten taels.

Seeing that he had taken it down, Su Qingma said again: "You can pack this silver for us. We want half of the fine grain and half of the coarse grain."

"Wait." The man glanced at them, then flashed in again, and closed the door.

The owner of the cloth shop did not follow him in this time. He asked Su Qingma about some of the situation. He learned that they had seized General Huang from Renzhou and was still a little scared. He also heard that they were just family members of the army, but ordinary people were desperate and had to join in.

The boss felt pitiful after hearing this.

I heard that there were many women and children like them who followed the army outside the city, and their acumen as merchants, and they thought to themselves.

After a while, the owner of the small restaurant opened the door and led a man who looked like a nephew. The two of them came out with a few small bags.

Put it on the ground and open it for Su Qingma and others to see.

"This bag is fine grain, one bag is brown rice and the other two bags is black noodles. Don't think I have given it too little. If you go out and see where can you buy grain now? Even if there are grain merchants who transport grain to sell it, how many people can safely transport it to the city? They are either lost or robbed on the way. Now you can still buy these ten taels, which may not be necessary in the future."

Su Qingma also knew the current situation. She spent several times more money to buy cloth and shoes just now. Now that she bought grain, the price has increased so much, and she was expecting it, so she didn't say much.

He only thanked him. He opened it slightly to the ground and looked at it. He saw a small bag of white flour in the bag of fine grains, and looked at the man.

The man said, "I just heard you say that your family has many children and is young, so I put two kilograms of white flour for you. Don't say anything about it when you go back. If someone comes to buy it, I don't recognize it. I don't have enough food at home, and I don't know where to buy it after eating."

Although Su Qingma knew that he was not losing money, he could give them two pounds of white flour, which was considered kind-hearted: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, we are all strict-mouthed people. We will not cause you any trouble."

After saying that, Dahu Dajiang asked Dahu to carry the food and turned around and left.

The owner of the cloth shop looked at their backs, remembered what Su Qingma and others had said just now, and said to the owner of the small restaurant: "I heard from them that the man who captured the city, there were many families in the team who followed the army. Isn't that small restaurant open? Maybe the business is good?"

The boss was a little moved when he heard this. The team is quite large.

But now grain merchants no longer transport grain to the city, and several grain shops in the city are closed, and they can’t buy grain. If the grain stored at home is sold out, what will his family eat?

Even if I make a lot of money, I have nowhere to buy food if I have money.

But when I thought about it, I felt itchy again when I was left alone. After thinking about it, I said, "I'll go out to the street with you to check it out."

The owner of the cloth shop said, "Let's go and have a look together. My cloth shop originally wanted to close the door and was about to leave the city to avoid it. But after hearing what they said, I plan to open it for a few more days. You don't know that the few of them bought all the soles I accumulated just now. I heard that there are 10,000 people outside the city. Everything is expensive now, and I can make a lot of money by selling the soles..."

Su Qingma didn't know that they said this after they left.

Several people wrapped the old grain cloth and placed it on the bottom of the back basket. The soles of the back basket were placed, and the old cloth of the soles covered the grain and covered the eyes and ears.

Several people walked around the city with their backpacks, trying to buy something for the children to have sweet mouths, but they didn't look for it for a while, and the bookstore was not open, so they had to go back to the camp outside the city.

As soon as a few people returned to the camp, many people came up to watch, asked questions, and looked through their backpacks. Many people asked them about the situation and asked them what they bought when they entered the city.

Su Qingliu and others took the soles on the back basket to show everyone: "It's been a waste of shoes all the way, so we went to the city to buy a few pairs. We bought some old cloth and prepared to put on a few pairs of thick-soled shoes. You don't know, now a pair of soles is worth four or five pairs! Even old cloth and rags are sold at the price of silk cloth! We also want to pull a piece of clothes by one person, but the money is not enough, and we can't even afford to buy burlap."

After all, many people gave in.

“Is the city lively?”

"Well, what's the fun? The officials in the city have all run away, and there are only a few merchants that have opened the door. We saw a few children who have suffered and suffered along the way. We wanted to buy two sweet-mouthed pieces for the children, but after searching the whole city, we didn't see anything sold."

The people who came back from Su Qingma also confirmed the Su family's statement, so everyone had no expectations for entering the city.

Su Qingma and others covered up their return to their territory. When Su's mother and aunt heard that they had 20 to 30 kilograms of grain, they demanded ten taels of silver, and half of them were coarse grains, which made them smack.

"Is this going to eat gold? This grain is so expensive, can ordinary people still afford it?"

"What should I do? This fine grain is only about ten kilograms and I can't eat it for long. Is this grain so expensive?"

When Lu Xiaobao saw Su Qingniang come back, he threw himself into her arms and stuck to her.

At this moment, Su Qingniang held Lu Xiaobao in her arms, touched his little head, and then said to Su Mu and others: "Let's wait a few days to see. The large army will not evacuate for a while. The merchants in the city will see that the situation is stable, and they will open the door one after another."

Su Dahu and Dajiang walked around the city and saw that such a large city of Renzhou was not as prosperous as their small Fengting Town. Looking at the current days and thinking about the past life, it was a sigh.

"The price of grain is so expensive now, it should be because the road is unsafe and difficult to transport. If it is not a large caravan and has its own guard team, most of the merchants walking on the road will be robbed. If the grain cannot be transported in, the price of grain will be sold high." Su Dahu said.

In the past, he helped Su Qingma go to the countryside to collect freight and transport goods, and he had a good understanding of transportation.

After a few more days, the team had no movement to pull out the camp.

Su Qingma originally thought that Huang Xu had obtained Renzhou. After confiscating the supplies and gathering the men from Renzhou, he would send troops to garrison, and then he would lead the team to continue south.

But a few days passed, and Huang Xu was not seen in the camp, and even his close subordinates were not seen.

She heard people say that some businesses in the city have opened their doors and some small taverns have also opened. She often sees Huang Xu's men drinking in the tavern.

Then more and more soldiers went to the city and went to the tavern to drink. She also heard that the flower buildings in the city were opened and the casinos were opened quietly, and the business was still very good.

After hearing the news, Su Qingxian made a heartbeat.
