: Together with the Grain Shop

But as soon as he took a step and wanted to get closer, Gu Ruan stared straight at him with cold eyes.

Those people immediately stopped and wanted to retreat. With this hesitation, Gu Ruan and his party had already walked away.

Zhang Jinhua walked towards the person who was easier to talk to. Before he could speak, the other person spoke impatiently.

"If you enter the town, it's fifty copper coins per person."

Zhang Jinhua once again took out a tael of silver from his waist and handed it to the officers and soldiers.

Gu Ruan was a little skeptical about how much he still had around his waist.

The officers and soldiers raised their eyebrows, and the impatience on their faces disappeared instantly.

"Thank you for your hard work, sir! The remaining ones are here to treat me to a drink." Zhang Jinhua bowed.

When the officers and soldiers heard this, they found that no one was paying attention around them, so they quickly put it away and whispered a reminder.

"Thank you then. Keep walking in and you will see Heyu Liang Store."

The news is in hand. This is Gu Ruan's only thought.

"Thank you, sir." Zhang Jinhua said with a faint smile.

Li Dahe looked at the silver and felt his heart bleed. That was only one tael of silver.

Gu Ruan didn't think it was anything.

Immediately, the three of them entered the town. Most of the pedestrians in the town were holding things in their arms cautiously and ran away. The three of them walked straight for a while, and Zhang Jinhua stopped immediately.

"What's wrong?" Li Dahe asked in confusion.

Gu Ruan followed Zhang Jinhua's gaze and saw that he was a little beggar. How did Gu Ruan recognize it? It was because he was the only one here who looked the most ragged and his hair was a mess. The other pedestrians at least had holes in them.

It was patched and the hair was simply taken care of.

"Uncle, I'm going to ask for directions." Zhang Jinhua was obviously answering Li Dahe's question.

Li Dahe still wanted to ask if the official had just said what he said? But before he could say anything, Zhang Jinhua and Gu Ruan walked up to the little beggar.

Gu Ruan could probably understand that he was probably afraid that the officers and soldiers just collected money from the grain store, and he asked the beggar because beggars are the ones who know the big and small things in this town. After all, beggars are everywhere and they are well-informed.

He said he was just asking a reputable grain store.

"Uncle, uncle, please take a drink." The little beggar knelt down and kowtowed when he saw that the visitor was cleanly dressed and didn't look like a homeless person at all.

Zhang Jinhua took off the water bag, squatted down, and prepared to give it to the little beggar.

The little beggar looked happy and was about to take it, but was blocked by a hand.

It was Gu Ruan's hand.

The smile on the little beggar's face suddenly froze when he saw it, thinking that they were here specifically to entertain people. This kind of thing has happened before.

Zhang Jinhua turned to look at Gu Ruan in confusion.

Gu Ruan handed over his water bag.

"Use mine."

Gu Ruan felt that Zhang Jinhua's water bag had his own logo on it, and it seemed that everyone except Zhang Jinnan had one water bag.

Zhang Jinhua didn't move, and gestured to Gu Ruan with his eyes, "Is she still there?"

Gu Ruan nodded.

You can't say it openly at this time, because if you say it, you will hear more than just a little beggar.

Zhang Jinhua took it and handed Gu Ruan's water bag over.

When the little beggar saw that Zhang Jinhua did not regret it, the smile on his face became even bigger. He quickly took it with both hands and held it in his arms to protect it, saying good things without even listening.

"Thank you, uncle. The good man is safe. Thank you, miss. You are really a kind person."

"This town has a good reputation..."

"It's suitable for the grain store." Before Zhang Jinhua could finish speaking, the little beggar interrupted quickly. It was obvious that he had formed a habit. It seemed that many people had asked him.

Zhang Jinhua stood up, with Gu Ruan and Li Dahe standing on both sides.

"Let's go over and see how it goes at the grain store first." Zhang Jinhua said while looking at Gu Ruan and Li Dahe.

Gu Ruan nodded.

"Okay! You can figure it out. I don't understand it anyway. We'll do it as you say, and we'll listen to you." Li Dahe said with a simple and honest smile. He dared to say that we just clicked because we saw Gu Ruan.

He bowed his head and quickly expressed his stance.

"Uncle, Xiao, Xiao Gu, then I won't refuse." Zhang Jinhua looked at the two of them.

Gu Ruan and Li Dahe nodded at the same time.

The three of them kept walking forward, and as they went inside, there were more shops, but they were all closed.

Until I saw the sign "He Yu Liang Shop", it didn't close.

As I approached, there was a writing on the door:

A pound of rice costs ten taels of silver.

A catty of broken rice costs eighty taels of silver.

A pound of brown rice costs six taels of silver.

The three of them frowned at the same time, the price increase was too expensive.

The clerk in the store saw the three of them staring at the prices and said quickly.

"Hey, sir, don't worry, the price has gone up, but our store is the cheapest and most generous."

The waiter saw that the three of them were silent and quickly whispered, "Other grain stores have added stones to it. Oops, the people who bought it will regret it, and they will be kicked out if they return it."

"Xiao Zhang, what are you talking about again?" A deep voice came over.

The waiter Xiao Zhang quickly silenced his voice, lowered his head, and muttered in a low voice, "It's not nonsense."

"Go to work quickly."

"Yes, from the shopkeeper." The clerk left quickly and entered the shop.

"Sir, what would you like to order?" The shopkeeper looked at Zhang Jinhua with a smile.

"I'm just here to check out the price. I'm sorry to bother the shopkeeper." Zhang Jinhua replied with a smile.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said nothing.

Then Zhang Jinhua took Gu Ruan and Li Dahe away until they were out of sight of the shopkeeper and walked into the empty alley they passed through when they came. It was a dead end.

"I think this guy and the shopkeeper look pretty good. Uncle, Xiao Gu, what do you think?" Zhang Jinhua said it was good. He really thought it was pretty good. At least he was better than the people he had met before. Although the guy talked a lot,

, but he didn’t show any signs of impatience when he saw them. The shopkeeper was also smiling, and he didn’t look like a villain.

"I think it's good too." Gu Ruan also thought about it seriously. In ancient times, there weren't many clerks who would be kind to their customers, let alone when they were fleeing famine and the price of food was so high.

Li Dahe also nodded. At least when he went to the town, he had never seen such a good-tempered waiter and shopkeeper.

"Okay, then it's decided to go to the grain store. Can you take out five kilograms of rice first?"

Zhang Jinhua asked Gu Ruan quietly. He didn't know if Gu Ruan could separate directly in the storage space. Although it was said that there was no one, no one knew whether the partition wall had ears.

When Li Dahe saw the two of them talking about business, he consciously looked at the entrance of the alley in case anyone looked over.

"I'll give it a try." Gu Ruan was not convinced.

[Gui Yi, can you help me? 】

Gu Ruan didn't know what step Gui Yi could take. If Gui Yi could hear the outside sounds through himself, then he would have less to worry about.

【OK.】

Gu Ruan saw Gui Yi find a grain bag from the pile of groceries and take out five kilograms from the bag given by Li Yunqiu.
