The blessed girl of rebirth comes to the door
Chapter 147 Price War
Yejia Town
The heavy snow crushed most houses and caused numerous casualties in the town.
The once lively streets became deserted, without the hustle and bustle of the past, and the whole town was shrouded in sadness and silence.
Looking around, there is a vast expanse of white, with many ruins and wreckage covered under the white snow.
Many families have lost their loved ones, with pain and helplessness written all over their faces.
"Doctor, please save my mother?" A girl in a shabby cotton-padded jacket helped her mother to the hospital. She was kicked out because she didn't have enough money.
"Go away, you are so poor. If you don't leave, I'll beat you to death." The man stood at the door with a broom in his hand, driving her away with a fierce look.
"Ahem..." The woman covered her mouth and coughed. She was out of breath and her face turned red.
The girl patted the woman's back anxiously and looked at her worriedly, "Mom, how are you?"
Her voice was full of anxiety and worry, this was the only relative she had.
She looked at her mother's haggard face and weak breath, and her heart was filled with helplessness and sadness.
The waiter looked at the mother and daughter with indifference and disgust, said "Oh!", spat at the door, and cursed: "What bad luck." He turned and left.
The woman took a deep breath and said in a weak voice, "Mom, let's go back."
The girl looked at her mother with tears in her eyes, and finally had no choice but to nod and help her mother leave.
The medical center was overcrowded, and screams, curses, and coughs could be heard from time to time.
All kinds of medicinal materials such as cold medicine and hemostatic medicine have been exhausted and the inventory is tight.
Grain merchants and druggists took the opportunity to drive up prices. Grain prices rose to eighty cents per catty, one price a day.
The price of medicine is even ridiculously high.
"Damn it, I'm not going to let anyone live anymore. How can I afford to eat this food that's so expensive?"
"These grain merchants are all evil-hearted, and they are not afraid of retribution for the money they earn."
"..."
The people couldn't afford it and cursed angrily.
The alley was crowded with homeless people, huddled in corners, clinging to each other for warmth.
All of them were unkempt and ragged, and some even had no shoes. They were walking barefoot on the cold ground, and their feet were covered with chilblains, oozing pus and cracking, which was shocking.
In this cold and windy snow, they were shivering with cold and huddled together, but they were unable to resist the severe cold.
Deprivation of food and firewood, robbery, beatings and vandalism occur frequently in slum areas. Sometimes, fighting for a piece of wood, steamed buns, cotton-padded jackets, quilts, etc., results in beatings to the head and blood.
Quiet Pavilion study.
"My boss," shopkeeper Tong saluted respectfully.
Wei Zhenyu nodded, "How much food is left in the warehouse?"
"Come back, boss, please stock up on more food before the blizzard. We currently have 80,000 kilograms of food."
Shopkeeper Tong truthfully reported that his boss asked him to hoard food before, but he still couldn't figure it out, but now he only thinks that his boss is smart.
Wei Zhenyu calculated in his mind that the 100,000 kilograms of grain he had ordered to be hoarded, plus the total for Jingjing Pavilion, was 180,000 kilograms, which was far from enough. These were just a drop in the bucket.
Before the blizzard, Mu Han wrote a letter saying that Wang Ruixue asked the villagers to stock up on food. Wei Zhenyu also immediately ordered people to stock up on 100,000 kilograms of food and medicinal materials.
Only by letting other people work together can it be done. "Are you inviting those rich gentry and wealthy businessmen to come?"
"My boss, some are here, but not all are here yet." Shopkeeper Tong didn't know what his boss was inviting them to do.
"Well," Wei Zhenyu nodded, tapping his fingers on the table, his gentle eyes as calm as a lake, "let me know when you get there, go down."
"Yes," Shopkeeper Tong bowed and left.
Private room on the second floor of Jingmian Pavilion.
"Hey, Boss Zhang." A slightly fat businessman saw the visitor and put on a professional smile on his face.
"Haha, Boss Li, are you there?" Boss Zhang saw Boss Li and walked towards him quickly.
Then the two of them whispered to each other, and Boss Zhang asked doubtfully: "I wonder what the owner of Jingjing Pavilion invited us to do?"
Boss Li shook his head, "Who knows?"
While the two were talking, some more people came in.
Those people were luxuriously dressed and arrogant. When they saw Boss Zhang Li, their eyes showed contempt.
I snorted coldly in my heart, huh, why did the owner of Jingjing Pavilion invite these lowly businessmen? It really lowered his status. I knew he wouldn't come.
Slowly, there were more and more people, and the entire private room was almost full. Fortunately, the private room was large, so it didn't seem crowded.
Those wealthy squires looked down upon the businessmen and simply refused to look upon them favorably. The atmosphere was a bit dull for a while.
"I heard that the owner of Jingjing Pavilion is from the capital and is a son of an official." Someone was the first to break the calm,
"Then we are lucky to be able to meet people from the capital."
"Haha, the owner of Serenity Pavilion invites all kinds of cats and dogs. If I had known, I wouldn't have come."
"No, the whole private room is filled with the smell of copper."
The faces of those businessmen suddenly became ugly, but they dared not speak in anger.
But Boss Zhang was not afraid at all and directly criticized, "Some dogs really think that they are human when they put on silk and satin, but they just look like humans and dogs."
Someone was about to get angry, but at this moment Wei Zhenyu came in. The man had to endure it and glared at Boss Zhang.
When Wei Zhenyu walked in, he noticed something was wrong. The whole private room was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke. It seemed like something had just happened? He bowed to everyone, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."
Others also returned the greeting and looked at Wei Zhenyu. Although he was wearing a mask, he could not conceal his noble aura.
"I just came here not long ago. I'm really lucky to be invited by Mr. Shen."
Someone asked straight to the point: "I wonder why Mr. Shen invited us?"
Wei Zhenyu didn't expect that person to be so direct, so he was just as direct, "I invite you all here today precisely because of the snow disaster.
I think you all know that many houses in the town have collapsed, causing countless casualties.
There is a shortage of clothes, food and medicine. If you can donate some, you can help many people. "
"Young Master Shen is really kind-hearted, but I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it. The roads are blocked by the heavy snow, and no food or medicinal materials can be transported.
I have a large population and am really powerless. Sorry, I have to leave first. "The man left after saying that.
There is the first one, then there is the second one, then there is the third one... many people shirk it for various reasons.
Only Boss Zhang and Boss Li were left in the private room.
Only two were willing to join.
"Master, we are ready." A middle-aged man knelt down to report.
Wei Zhenyu put down the teacup slowly, "Let's get started."
"Yes." The man stepped back.
Soup shelters and doctors began to be set up in the town, with stipulated conditions, leaving them homeless and penniless.
Many people swarmed in to grab the food and were beaten with sticks before they started lining up to receive the porridge.
Some people are being clever and pretending to be homeless and penniless. If they are caught, they will be severely beaten.
Some people asked others to help them get porridge and medicine, but the helper was caught. From then on, there was no porridge to receive and no medicine to treat.
Slowly, this phenomenon was stopped from happening.
Two new shops opened in the town, Baishan Grain Shop and Jishi Pharmacy Shop.
The price of grain is thirty cents per catty, which is half cheaper than other grain stores, and medicinal materials are also cheaper than other drug stores. Many people queued up to buy medicine and grain.
The grain store has regulations that each household is limited to purchasing two kilograms with proof of identity.
Medicines bought in drug stores are not allowed to be taken away. The patients are brought in, the medicine is prepared with firewood, and the medicine is brewed and drank on the spot to prevent anyone from buying the medicine and then reselling it at a high price.
For a time, other grain stores and drug stores were affected, and grain merchants and drug dealers became nervous.
Privately let people investigate who is behind Baishan Food Store and Jishi Pharmacy?
But it can't be found at all? This makes grain merchants and druggists crazy.
But they soon relaxed and secretly laughed at the stupid owners of Baishan Food Store and Jishi Pharmacy.
They wanted to see how long Baishan Food Store and Jishi Drug Store could last.
