If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

Situ Yidong and his men took over for three days, and Meixiang, Meiying and Xiaosan strolled in the alleys of Liuzhou Prefecture for three days.

During these three days, Meixiang and the other two walked the streets and communicated with all kinds of people. They gained a general understanding of the lives of ordinary people in Liuzhou Prefecture and also made preliminary plans for their future arrangements.

Food is the most important thing for people. Now Meixiang needs to confirm one more thing, so she brings Meiying and Xiaosan to various rice shops in Liuzhou Prefecture.

"Hey, miss, please come in. What can I do for you?" The waiter who was busy in the store saw a customer coming in and hurriedly stood up to greet her.

Meixiang casually walked around the store to check things out. Liuzhou Prefecture was located at the junction of the north and the south. Although its climate was changeable, it also resulted in a diversity of plant varieties. It could grow corn and wheat from the north, and occasionally some rice in water-rich villages.

It is June, which is the time when there is a shortage of food. The rice in the rice stores now is last year's old rice, but I don't know what the price is.

"Waiter, which are the cheapest grains in your store, and which are the most expensive? Which ones can be used as seeds?" Meixiang asked casually.

The waiter was stunned when he heard this. Looking at the lady's dress and the maids and servants following her, he thought she was here to buy some fine rice, but he didn't expect that she was indeed the cheapest when he asked.

"Waiter?" Meixiang called out again when she saw that there was no answer.

"Oh, here it comes," the waiter came back to his senses, "Look, Miss, this brown rice is the cheapest right now, but it has increased by three cents compared to some time ago. And this coarse flour is also relatively cheap."

Then the waiter pointed to a few bags on the other side and said, "This old white rice and the old white flour over there are the most expensive."

"How much of each of these four types of rice and flour do you have in stock in your store? If I want them, when can I get them?" Meixiang asked.

"Ah, you'll have to ask the boss for details. Miss, please wait in the store for a moment, I'll go call the boss over." After hearing this, the waiter hurriedly asked Meixiang and the other two to sit down. After serving the tea, he hurried to the backyard to find the boss to reply.

The owner of the rice and grain store came in very quickly. He had only taken a few sips of tea when he entered the hall. When he saw that they were three young children, he immediately turned his head with suspicion and looked at the waiter who followed him in: "Are you talking about them? Three children?"

The waiter then realized that he was indeed a bit reckless, and was bound to be scolded afterwards, but he had no choice but to nod his head.

Meixiang put down the tea bowl in her hand and looked at the suspicious boss. Fortunately, the boss was a worldly-wise man and quickly adjusted his expression: "Hello, Miss. I am the owner of this store. I heard from the waiter that you want to buy brown rice, brown noodles, and refined rice and refined noodles?"

"I do have this plan, but I don't know how much goods the boss can have now?" Meixiang asked the boss without changing her expression.

"Miss, when do you plan to order it? Does it have to be ready-made?"

"If the deal is reached, we can pick up the goods in batches within ten days to half a month." Meixiang replied after thinking about her plan again.

The host once again looked at the three of them inconspicuously, and after a little calculation in his mind, he said, "During this period of time, five stones of brown rice and flour, and three stones of polished rice and flour should be no problem."

"How many days will it take you to restock the stock as quickly as possible?" Meixiang asked again. If the implementation of her plan caused other people in Liuzhou Prefecture to go without food, it would be a case of good intentions leading to bad results.

"If it's for daily supply of the store, five days should be enough." Although the boss was confused by Meixiang's question, he still answered cautiously.

Meixiang stood up with satisfaction after getting the answer she wanted. "Thank you, boss. I have an idea. We'll discuss the details once everything is settled. Bye first." After saying hello to the boss and the waiter again, she walked straight out of the rice shop.

The owner and the waiter looked at each other, and before they could figure out what was going on, Meixiang had already led Meiying and the others into the second, third, and fourth rice and grain stores. After walking around, they had a clear idea of ​​the current rice and grain situation in Liuzhou Prefecture.

In the main hall of the north courtyard of the Liu Mansion in Liujia Village, after dinner that day, Meixiang kept Situ Yidong, Chu Zeming and Feng Yizheng, who were busy and exhausted.

"Everyone has been busy for two days. How far have you come? Let's meet tonight." Meixiang asked with a smile as she looked at the three people who were so busy in the past two days that they wished they could live in the government office and the military camp.

The three of them held their foreheads and cried and laughed, feeling that they didn't even have the strength to speak. Especially Chu Zeming, his body had not fully recovered. The complexion that had improved with great effort had visibly faded again, and Doctor Wang was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.

Nanny Chen and Aunt Li brought the tea bowls. Situ Yidong, who was sitting next to Chu Zeming, turned around and found that the contents of Chu Zeming's bowl were obviously different. He immediately shouted, "Sister Xiang'er, why is the tea in Chu Bing...Brother Chu's bowl different from mine? Are you biased?"

She turned around and said to Nanny Chen and Aunt Li with a grievance, "Nanny, Aunt Li, have you two changed your minds too? You don't love me anymore? I'm so sad."

"Tsk..." Meixiang couldn't help but sneer when she saw Situ Yidong trying to please her and Nanny Chen looking dumbfounded. "Nanny, Aunt Li, you don't have to worry about him. It seems that he has been deeply influenced by his second cousin these days and has learned to throw tantrums."

"Hahaha..." Everyone in the room who reacted couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

"Sister Xiang'er..." Situ Yidun continued to protest.

Meixiang glanced at him, and helplessly stroked his forehead to comfort him: "Brother Chu's body is still recovering. Didn't you see that the color on his face, which he had worked so hard to maintain in the past few days, has faded again? Master was so anxious that he wanted to trouble me, but there was no other way due to time constraints. We had to prepare some medicinal tea for him to nourish him. By the way, cousin Zhen should also drink a bowl before going to bed to replenish his vitality."

Situ Yidong looked at Chu Zeming's face and said nothing more. When he heard the last sentence, he was about to jump up again, "Brother Situ, you don't need to replenish your energy and spirit anymore, otherwise you will have nosebleeds at night, which is quite scary. If you feel that you have more energy than you can use up, you can go to the government office tomorrow afternoon to help them two, how about that?"

Hearing this, Situ Yidong touched his nose and stopped talking. He decided to just stay in the corner. The huge mess in the military camp was already enough to give him a headache. He was just entertaining everyone to relieve their stress.
