On the wedding day, the husband's family was confiscated and exiled

Shi Shuang left the carpenter's shop and went to the grocery store.

The food here can’t be sold, but it’s frighteningly expensive. “Why is it so expensive?”

A bag of rice actually costs ten taels of silver.

On weekdays, it’s only a hundred coins.

This is simply a sky-high price!

The waiter came over and said arrogantly, "You are dressed like a gentleman, but how come you can't even afford rice? Ten taels of silver is still expensive? In the next town, rice is sold for twenty taels of silver."

As he spoke, he distanced Shi Shuang from the food.

"If you can't afford it, leave quickly, so you don't end up starving and stealing food."

Shi Shuang raised the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, there will be people whose food is cheaper than yours."

"Bullshit!" The waiter stretched out his hand and pointed at her angrily, "Who dares to ruin our rice bowl? It's already this hour, there's no way it can get any lower."

Shi Shuang grabbed his wrist and squeezed it hard.

"Speak politely, I guarantee that there will be people whose food is lower than yours!"

“It hurts, it hurts…” The waiter grimaced in pain, and only after she left did he dare to show a hint of dissatisfaction.

He's going to tell his boss about this!

Shi Shuang was looking at the empty street and happened to see a shop for sale opposite the grain shop.

It was originally a cloth shop.

The proprietress sighed and said, "Business is slow, we can't make any money, and we can't afford to buy food. If you need it, this shop can give you a discount."

She thought about it for a while and stretched out a finger.

"One hundred taels."

"Okay." Shi Shuang nodded. She took out the banknote and handed it over. "What are you going to do with these cloths?"

The proprietress shook her head and said to those who are not rich nowadays.

Eating a full meal is the most important thing, so there is no time to wash and dress up. She said helplessly: "I can only watch them change color and mold."

She stroked the cloth, her eyes full of pity.

Shi Shuang was full of ways to make money. She checked the house deed and found no problems, then handed over a hundred taels of silver and said with a smile.

"I do have a good solution, but I wonder if the boss lady can do handicrafts like making clothes?"

"Of course." The lady boss pointed to the ready-made clothes on the wall and the tiger-head shoes under the cabinet, "I sewed these myself."

Shi Shuang smiled and said, "I have a contract here, take a look."

The proprietress could read, and after she read it carefully, she couldn't help but admire the details of the rules and regulations.

The rewards above were enough to tempt her.

"Becoming a member of your shop, completing tasks, and getting corresponding rewards? This is very interesting, but how much silver can you give me?"

Shi Shuang explained, "Help me sew the dolls I want. Each doll will cost 80 wen. You can also ask someone to help you, but it's best to find someone you can control. You know that these things will be copied very quickly. If you are willing, the price can be negotiated."

"Okay! I agree." The proprietress lowered her head and thought for a few seconds. She was idle now and the cloth could not make money. Eighty cents was a lot for her.

Whenever she has free time, she sews more dolls.

She could get 100 taels of silver from selling the shop, but she also had to use it to buy food. There were many people in her family, so the food would be gone soon.

You can't just sit back and have nothing, right?

She signed and took the blueprint, with a loving look on her face, "This doll is so cute, I will definitely sew it well, this doll will take three days."

"Take your time." Shi Shuang was not in a hurry.

This doll is very expensive and can only be sold to the rich and powerful in Shengjing. Looking at the name of the proprietress on it, the corners of her mouth curled up. Lan Tian remembered a poem, "The Lantian jade emits smoke in the warm sun."

Lan Tian said, "I will clean up the shop as soon as possible, and you can use it tomorrow. I wonder what kind of shop you want to open? I will clean up the shop according to your ideas."

"The food store."

"What? A food store? That is indeed a very profitable place, but there is already one across the street, so I'm afraid it can only be less than ten taels of silver."

There was envy in Lan Tian's eyes.

These days, not many people have food, and if you can still sell it, it means you have a strong family background.

Shi Shuang chuckled: "Don't worry, it will only be a little, not more. Please help me promote it when you have time."

Those who profit from national disasters will be punished sooner or later!

Lan Tian's eyes widened in disbelief. Less than ten taels of silver? How much was that? Six taels, or five taels! ?

She suppressed her inner joy, quickly closed the door and went home.

She happily told everyone she met: "My shop has been sold to a grain merchant. The merchant assured me that the grain is very cheap!"

At this moment, the waiter of the grain shop got the news and immediately ran to the shopkeeper.

He said anxiously: "Boss, what should we do? Here comes a competitor who wants our business and his price is lower than ours."

The shopkeeper stroked his beard, his eyes full of dissatisfaction, and then he sneered.

"Oh, it's just a small matter, how cheap can it be?"

He picked up the wooden sign and changed the ten taels of silver on it to five taels. "Wait until tomorrow when her shop opens, and you can hang up the sign. I don't believe it can be cheaper than five taels."

The waiter said distressedly: "Boss, this... this is a half price cut all of a sudden, isn't it too much of a loss?"

"Five taels of silver can also make a lot of money." The shopkeeper crossed his legs, "I just want to let that ungrateful person know that if he becomes my rival, he will only lose a lot!"

He has been in this business for more than 20 years and has enough grain to sell over the years.

He has been traveling around the country with his father since his generation. Now the situation is different. The purchase price of grain is about six taels of silver per bag. He lowered the price to five taels of silver, assuming that she bought it at five taels.

She can only lose, not gain.

The waiter smiled flatteringly: "Then my wages..."

The shopkeeper patted his shoulder and said in a good mood: "As long as you work hard and help me drive her away, the price of grain will change, but your wages will not change."

"Yes, yes, yes, boss, don't worry, I will definitely drive her away!" When the waiter heard that his salary would not change, his eyes lit up and he ran to mop the floor.

He has to work hard in front of his boss.

Try to buy a house in town as soon as possible!

It started to drizzle again, and Shi Shuang hurried back to the mansion. She said helplessly, "I've never seen so much rain in my life."

She waved, "Yao Lang, come with me."

The two came to the warehouse, where most of the grain that Shi Shuang moved from the Gao and Shi families was stored, and the remaining half was in the space.

Yao Lang exclaimed, "Oh my God, Miss, I can't finish it in my lifetime, I can't finish it, I can't finish it at all."

Shi Shuang put her hand on the rice bag and said.

"I understand that many places are selling food grains at high prices and the people are suffering. I plan to sell the food grains at the original price."

"There are many people and little food, so I'm afraid there will be fighting over it." Yao Lang said after thinking for a while.

Shi Shuang handed the key to the warehouse to Yao Lang.

She said softly, "I have thought about this issue. I will go to the government to borrow a list of names. Each person is limited to one bag every seven days. In the next few days, I will go to other places to purchase grain to supply the people."

Yao Lang was shocked.

"Miss, you buy food at a high price and sell it to the people at a low price?"

"Yes." Shi Shuang half-jokingly said, "As long as my prices are low, others will buy. Other merchants will also lower their prices if they don't want to make money."

And those who import large quantities of goods and make ill-gotten gains.

The food they bought at high prices rots in their hands, that is their retribution.
