Quick Travel: I will take the host to prodigal family

After Master Li finished speaking, he was about to take out his wallet from his arms to give the money. When the waiter saw this, he curled his lips in disappointment. She also wanted to say that she could see the dignified magistrate staying in their Feihong Tower. Come and wash the dishes!

But Master Li opened his purse and took a look, his expression was a little embarrassed, because there was only a small piece of broken silver and a few copper plates left in the purse.

"I...I'll get the money from home later." Chief Li spoke awkwardly to the waiter.

"I said, Mr. Li, if you don't have money, don't make a fortune here. It's better to let the magistrate stay in our Feihong Building to wash dishes!" The waiter didn't expect that things would turn around and she would still have a chance to see the magistrate. Adults wash dishes!

"Who says I don't have money? It's just that I don't have it with me. I'll just bring it to you later!"

"I'm sorry, we at Feihong Tower don't do credit!" The waiter refused her directly!

joke!

There was such a rare opportunity to humiliate the county magistrate, how could she miss it!

Moreover, the head of her family has always wanted to drive the county magistrate out of Taiping County. If she is allowed to achieve such a great achievement, maybe she can become a shopkeeper!

"boom!"

Yueying threw a piece of silver on the table, stood up, looked at the waiter coldly, and said, "Is that enough?"

Looking at the piece of silver that Yue Ying threw on the table, the waiter took it into his hand with some suspicion. He weighed it first and found that it was just enough for ten taels. Then he put it in his mouth and bit it. He saw that it was true. Then he curled his lips in disappointment again and said: "Enough is enough..."

Glancing sideways at the waiter who was still standing there holding the silver, Yue Ying walked out.

"Sir...Sir? Where are you going?" Master Li came back to his senses and asked Yue Ying.

"Go to a place without dirty things and fill your stomach again." Yue Ying turned back and looked at her, "Aren't you leaving?"

"But...these meals?" Chief Li pointed at the dishes worth 10 taels of silver that were already on the table. He was a little stunned. Are you not going to eat these dishes?

"How dare you eat the food here? You're not afraid of getting upset!" After Yue Ying finished speaking, she walked out without waiting for her.

Chief Li looked at the food on the table, and then at the waiter who was still standing next to him with an angry look on his face. After thinking about it, he followed Yue Ying's footsteps and walked out.

If the adults don’t eat the food here, she won’t eat it either!

Even if an adult has paid money...

Eh?

Where did they adults get ten taels of silver?

Chief Li’s eyes were filled with confusion.

In the end, Chief Li didn't have this problem until the magistrate who followed them finished a bowl of wontons at a wonton stall where she usually ate.

"Auntie, how is your business lately?"

Yueying took out two bowls of wontons and gave them to the stall owner for sixteen cents. In the past, the wontons were sold for six cents a bowl, but now, because the price of food has generally increased, the wontons have also risen to eight cents. It cost a bowl, but it wasn't a big portion, but the aunt put a few more wontons in it than the original six cents a bowl.

"It's... it's okay, I can barely survive." The wonton boss smiled bitterly.

Ordinary people can hardly afford to eat. How can they have any spare money to eat wontons?

As for people who can afford it, they can't stand her wonton stall on the street!

Yueying listened to her words, looked at her expression, and nodded thoughtfully.

But I was thinking in my heart, if we want the people under the rule to live and work in peace and contentment, and have enough food and clothing, those borers and poisonous insects in Taiping County must be cleaned up!

Looking at the magistrate who had his head lowered and didn't know what he was thinking, Chief Li scratched his head and walked behind her on the street.

Suddenly, Chief Li saw the magistrate of her family and stopped in front of a grain store.

"The price of food here has always been this price?"

Yueying pointed to the wooden sign erected on the bags of grain at the door of the shop and asked Chief Li behind her.

"Huh? That's not true. Before the drought, the prices at these grain stores in the county were reasonable. For example, the brown rice that costs 30 cents per dou now was only 10 cents per dou before the drought."

Chief Li looked in the direction she pointed and explained.

"Well, so..." Yue Ying raised her feet and walked into the grain store.

Seeing her walking in, Chief Li quickly followed her.

"Hey, welcome to the magistrate. I wonder why the magistrate comes to the shop?" Seeing Yue Ying come in, the shopkeeper who was guarding the grain shop immediately stood up and came forward with a smile on his face.

Yueying looked around and said calmly: "In addition to buying and selling food, what else can your store do?"

The implication is that when she comes here, she either buys food or sells food, so what else can she do?

The shopkeeper paused for a moment, and then asked: "...I wonder, sir, how much food do you want to buy? And how much more?"

As a magistrate who has no land and has just taken office, when he comes to the grain store, he naturally does not want to sell grain, but can only buy grain!

The shopkeeper looked Yueying up and down, as if he wanted to see if she had any money on her.

"I want all the food in your store." Yueying waved her hand and said.

Mr. Li, shopkeeper:......

"Sir, please stop joking with me. We have a lot of food in the store now." The shopkeeper glanced sideways at Yue Ying and said calmly.

"Sir...Sir..." Chief Li was also behind her, reaching out and gently tugging on her sleeve.

Yue Ying looked at the shopkeeper, her eyes were half lowered, her lips were slightly parted, and she said, "Who are you kidding me? Do you look at me like I'm joking?"

Shopkeeper: "...Sir, are you serious?"

Chief Li also looked at his master in shock.

"Of course! Your family head is Chen Fuzhu, right? I told your family head yesterday that all the grain in the grain store in Taiping County will be lent to me first, but the price must be the same as before the drought. I! I will pay it back to you when the taxes are collected next year!"

Yueying spoke lightly.

At yesterday's banquet, the original owner indeed told those wealthy landowners and businessmen this. However, those wealthy landowners and businessmen did not expect that she would survive until the next day, and now she actually came to the grain store under their name to ask for food.

"This... I need to ask my family head to confirm this!" The shopkeeper was also a little hesitant, because she saw that Yueying did not seem to be joking, so she quickly called her niece and asked her to Quickly run to the Chen family mansion and ask about the situation.
