"Scram, scram!" This is none of your business! "

The man glanced at Nona, his eyes filled with unconcealable contempt. I won't be fooled! You want to buy your father's wheat at a low price and sell it at a high price, don't you? "You wish!"

"You're thinking too much."

Patting the dust off of her body, Jiu Niang calmly glanced at the man before slowly turning around. "Uncle Wang, let's go!"

She felt a burst of anger in her heart, and she did her best to suppress the anger in her heart.

Tsk tsk, this kind of man really can't communicate.

She was only thinking of this woman and her child. She thought that this man would sell his wheat seed. If she sold it, then she would return it to him when the grains in her space were planted.

He didn't expect that not only did this man not know what was good for him, he actually treated him as a lowly person.

Alright, she admitted that she wasn't a kind-hearted person to begin with. It wasn't easy for her to think of doing something good, but she was still misunderstood by others.

"Alright!"

Wang Er did not approve of Jiu Niang's actions in the first place. She was too destitute to create trouble for the people, so it was better to not interact with such people too much.

She had lived with her parents for a period of time, so she had seen them for herself. These people, in the future, they would be even more frightening than proper bandits like them. They would take any advantage of others.

"Stop, stop!"

Seeing that it was getting late, the man was a bit worried. What if the other party had already left? Moreover, he had seen many people running along the way to deliver food. It was this woman who ruined his plans. If it weren't for them blocking his way, he wouldn't have been able to leave …

Seeing that Nona was about to leave, he started to panic.

"Didn't you want to buy my wheat? Why did he leave again? Humph, a pauper shouldn't be able to afford the silver, right? I have over two hundred catties here. A catty of two hundred catties would at least cost forty silvers, and even if I sold you, you wouldn't be worth more than forty silvers! "

Seeing that Jiu Niang still had no intention of stopping, the man was enraged and opened his mouth to curse! The way he spoke was extremely unpleasant to hear. It was completely unheard-of.

Immediately, Nona was angered to the point of laughing.

He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen such a shameless person.

"Is that so? "Haha …"

Glaring coldly at the man, Jiu Niang sneered and got off the carriage once again.

"Uncle Wang, you go and inform everyone that I'm here to collect food. As long as you're willing to sell me, I'll have 250 taels of wheat per catty, 300 taels of rice per catty, and 100 taels of rice per catty!" "Here's 10,000 taels of silver. I'll take whatever you have and send them to the Third Master of the Hu Clan."

With a cold smile, Jiu Niang took out a stack of banknotes. These banknotes were all from that fellow.

Originally, she had planned to use these banknotes to buy food, but … But now I can't buy it with money... Naturally, the silver notes were useless now …

"This …"

This time, not only was the man stunned, even Wang Er was shocked. He looked at Nona in disbelief.

This... This was truly ten thousand taels of silver, who would have thought that a little girl like her would actually have the ability to take out so many taels of silver.

"Oh yeah, I'm sorry to trouble you, Uncle Wang. When we are selling the grains, if you are willing to sign an agreement, if you want to exchange the grains back within a year, you only need to pay the original price." Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to. "

Jiu Niang thought about it. In front of a natural disaster, what was willfulness …

Just in case, it was better to do things thoroughly.

Nona's price was clearly much higher than the ones outside. Furthermore, there was a rule for the people outside to gather food. As long as there was wheat and rice, they had to be cleaned up. As for Nona, she was not anxious and wanted everything. The only difference was the price, but even so, the price was sky-high.

Therefore, there was an endless stream of people delivering food to the Hu family.

"This is mine!"

"This belongs to my family!"

"I came first, hurry up and call me!"

Not only was it the village that Jiu Niang was in, even the nearby villages all rushed over after hearing the news. Seeing so many people carrying bags, everyone was worried that they would have enough. When the time came, they would fight for it anxiously.

A few days ago, they heard that someone came to collect it, but they only collected it for a few days before stopping.

He had thought that he had missed it several times, but he didn't expect that the price would be higher.

However, they heard that someone took out ten thousand taels. Ten thousand sounded like a lot, but if they really put it away, they wouldn't be able to get much. After all, the price was that high. Everyone was worried that if the money was already used up, at that time … This was a once in a millennium opportunity …

"Alright, everyone line up, don't mess around!"

With a dark face, Hu San walked back and forth with a thick stick in his hand, maintaining his position. His subordinates were divided into several groups, including those that weighed food, those that counted food, and those that counted money.

But there were too many people …

It was hard to avoid a few people messing around. Fortunately, Hua San wasn't someone who was easy to deal with. If he was in an ordinary household, he would have already turned into a pot of porridge.

It had to be said that sometimes, violence was very useful.

"You guys!" Whoever dared to make a ruckus would be thrown out! We don't need any of his food! "

It had to be said, Hu San couldn't understand Jiu Niang's plan. She was willing to pay such a high price for food, was she not doing so for the loss?

However, Jiu Niang had promised to give him 10% of all the free food.

Tsk tsk, 10%!

Ten percent of the food that he received with ten thousand taels of silver, that was …

Although his family wasn't short on food, the food outside was so tight that he didn't want it for nothing!

There was nothing to do in this winter anyway, and his men had nothing to do either. There was no problem at all in helping them collect the food.

"Don't cause trouble, no one is allowed to cut in line. Come one by one!"

As soon as Hu San said this, the young men who had been planning on using their young strength to charge forward no longer dared to move. Instead, they began to maintain their composure. What a joke. With such a high price, as long as he could buy up to fifty kilograms of grain, he would be able to get married. These people were all farmers who relied on farming to survive. Although this season's harvest was not good, which family didn't have some surplus food? There was still a bit of a squeeze!

"Alright, here is your one hundred and twenty catties worth of silver taels!" Do you want to write a voucher? If you want to exchange for food within a year, you only need to pay the original price. "

Those who counted the silver would say one more sentence according to Jiu Niang's request when they handed it over, but …

"No, no, what kind of proof?"

Most of them just refused and ran away, afraid that they would be caught writing down their proof.

What kind of joke was this? They were here to sell food, who didn't come for a high price?

And you even want the food back? What a joke! Isn't this a joke!

Ten thousand taels of silver, wheat, rice, and all kinds of miscellaneous provisions were used to collect a total of fifty to sixty thousand catties of grain.

Even Hu San was shocked.

"Girl, you … What are you collecting so much food for? "

At first, Hu San thought that he wouldn't be able to finish spending the ten thousand taels of silver, but … However, he forgot one thing, and that was that the money was very popular. These days, everyone was very poor, and the price of grains had suddenly skyrocketed by over a hundred times.

Even if his house was big enough, it was still filled to the brim. Fortunately, he had enough subordinates, and most people knew what he did. They didn't dare to offend him, or else … Otherwise, even the old master of the yamen would not be able to sit still.

As she looked at the filled granary, Nona was shocked.

To be honest, throwing out 10,000 silver in the beginning was just a moment of anger. But... However, she did not really expect to receive so much food.

"I... I am also helping a friend in the capital to keep it! "

Taking a deep breath, Nona suppressed her excitement and said in a low voice.

[Tsk! Tsk! It's over. I was going to keep a low profile, but now with so much food, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep a low profile anymore. In that case, I can only use the tiger skin as a flag.

"Beijing?"

Indeed, when Hu San heard this, he immediately understood.

He just nodded silently and didn't say anything else.

"It's just that there's so much food, how can we transport it away? It's not a big deal to let my family go. "

Soon, Hu San thought of another problem. Could it be that so much food was always at home? That's not good, right? Although he had a bit of a reputation, but … However, who knew if there would be any problems if they were put there for a long time. After all, there were so many of them.

"Don't worry about that, I will settle it with my friend. When the time comes, send someone to deliver the grains to the designated location. Naturally, someone will take them away."

Jiu Niang originally wanted to deliver it to her own home, but later on she gave up.

Back then, when he bought the house, he had planned to keep a low profile. If this were to happen, everyone would probably know about it. At that time …

Anyway, as long as the Hu family left, he would be able to take them into the Spaces without any problems.

"Right, how many people wrote the contract?"

Speaking of which, the opposite of Nona was actually more afraid of the contract. She had to at least leave some food for them, otherwise, when those people came to exchange, it would be fun if she couldn't take them out.

"Contract?" Tsk tsk, I really don't know what you're thinking! "

Speaking of contracts, Hu San couldn't help but shake his head. "Do you really think those people are willing to exchange for them?"

He really didn't know what to say about her. She was here to sell some food, but most of them were here for the price. Who would trade back their original price? Wasn't that a joke?

"There are less than ten of them!"

Yes, there were only ten people in total, and he managed to persuade them to sign the contract no matter what he said. Otherwise, there probably wouldn't be a single one.

Those people were all worried that someone would snatch the silver back.

"Is that so … "Then forget it …"

Although it's possible for her to continue to love you, Nona was still a bit disappointed.

To be honest …

These people were too short-sighted.

Did they really think that there was still such a thing as a meat pie in this world?

"Oh right, there are still people who sent food over. Do you still want more?"

Speaking of which, Hu San felt a headache coming on. He had been collecting money for ten days and had already used up ten thousand taels, but there was still someone who gave it to him.

"No, no more!"

Jiu Niang shook her head and rejected him without hesitation.

She knew that she had no power or influence. If she went too far, it would bring about trouble.
