Infinite Doomsday: I rely on space to stock up and bully the scum

The sun was at its brightest. Li Shuming squatted on the edge of the field, looking at the rice that was dying in the sun, and couldn't stop sighing.

These days, villagers have been carrying buckets to fetch water from the river to irrigate the rice, but it is just a drop in the bucket. As the temperature rises day by day, the water level in the river has dropped a lot, which reminds Li Shuming of the drought a few years ago.

Oh, God, please open your eyes!

Li Shuming punched the dry yellow mud ground, splashing a layer of flying ash.

No, I have to discuss this with some elders of the clan.

On the other hand, Jiang Jiang also discovered that the water that could be drawn from the well in the yard was getting less and less, and sometimes it was even a little turbid.

I'm afraid this sweet soup business won't last long.

Jiang Jiang and his friends have been running the sugar water business for over a month. Every time they go to market, Jiang Jiang would dress up in disguise and go to the grain store in town to buy small quantities of various grains, mainly fine grains, followed by coarse grains.

Logically speaking, coarse grains are cheaper than fine grains, so Jiang Jiang should stock up on coarse grains. However, Jiang Jiang knows that the money in the pockets of countless working people can only buy coarse grains, and even after the grain prices soar, they cannot afford coarse grains. What is she competing with the people nearby for?

But the town was small and there wasn't much food in the grain store. Jiang Jiang stockpiled food for a month and only managed to stockpile a few tons of food.

It seems that I still need to find an opportunity to go to the county.

"Alas, the price of grain has risen again. At the beginning of the year, rice was only two cents. Do you know how much rice cost if I went to the grain store today?"

"Six coins a pound!"

"In the end, I only dared to buy a few kilograms of coarse grains. My children at home were still clamoring to eat white flour steamed buns."

The man shook his head as he spoke, and the person opposite him also felt the same way.

In fact, it's not just the price of grain that has increased, the price of ice has also increased, but the price of Li's Dessert Shop has not changed. Many people think that this is a conscientious shop and have become loyal customers.

Despite this, the dessert shop's business has declined significantly.

The weather this year is so abnormal that people would rather spend their money on stockpiling food than drinking a glass of ice sweet water.

Now Jiang Jiang has become a hands-off boss, leaving the business to his sons and daughters-in-law to manage.

Ever since the restaurant under the Zhou family’s name launched a new variety of ice cream, fewer and fewer customers have come to Jiang Jiang to order ice cream. The maximum number of buckets per day is two, and retail sales consume one bucket every three days.

Jiang Jiang was also happy to have some free time. She only needed to operate the ice cream machine. After making a dozen buckets of ice cream, she could rest for several days.

The ice cream at Qianlixiang Restaurant is not sold by bucket, but only by portion, and one portion costs fifty cents, which is ten times the price set by Jiang Jiang.

It can only be said that their target group and Tianshuipu’s customers are completely different.

Jiang Jiang no longer cares about the business in the store, but the children at home care about it more than each other.

Li Cuicui no longer complained about getting up early, Sun Qiaoqiao dared to stand on the street and sell things, and Xiao Shitou worked harder and harder to wash the bowls.

Business is not good, and Xiao Shitou is the most worried, after all, he is the only outsider here.

So he didn't dare to stop at all. Even if everyone advised him to rest, he would still wander around looking for work to do.

Drought comes silently, but is closely related to our life.

Jiang Jiang knew that this was nothing. There would be a heavy rain soon. Just when everyone thought that the drought was about to end, the temperature would rise rapidly, the rivers would dry up, the fields would dry up and crack, and all crops would be lost.

"Uncle Fu, this is the ice cubes delivered today."

After knocking on the door of Zhou's house, Jiang Jiang handed a cart of ice cubes covered with a quilt to Uncle Fu.

Half a month ago, the Zhou family found Jiang Jiang and wanted to buy a batch of ice from her.

There was no other way. All the ice in the town's ice shops had been sold out, and the ice stored in the Zhou Mansion in previous years would also be used up. Only Jiang Jiang's Li's Dessert Shop was still holding on.

She definitely had ice.

Indeed, Jiang Jiang not only has ice cubes, but also a lot of ice cubes.

The ice maker worked day and night, and the ice cubes almost filled up Jiang Jiang's upgraded space.

Originally, the Zhou family just wanted to buy ice cubes tentatively, but they didn't expect that Jiang Jiang really had a connection. Moreover, this ice, as anyone who has used it knows, melts much slower than ice cubes from other places.

For just this cartload of ice, Jiang Jiang's cost was almost zero, but he could sell it for a high price of thirty taels of silver.

Jiang Jiang was so tempted to say, why are you selling sugar water? I'll just sell ice cubes to support you.

Despite the high price, ice is in short supply.

Jiang Jiang simply signed a contract with the Zhou family, providing a batch of ice cubes every day, and the Zhou family settled the bill based on the market price every day.

Of course, the Zhou family cannot use up so many ice cubes, but who can blame them now that they cannot buy them even if they have money? The Zhou family can make these ice cubes play a more important role than money.

Uncle Fu took Jiang Jiang to the cashier's office to settle the bill with ease.

After receiving the thirty taels of silver, Jiang Jiang pointed to the package on his back and said, "Didn't Madam Zhou ask my relative to help find some rare items? What a coincidence! He actually found it. I'll bring it to Madam for your inspection today."

Uncle Fu could not contain his joy when he heard this. Jiang Jiang really came as a timely help. She had the ice cubes that were missing, and his wife was having a headache over this matter. She had sent several things before, but the county magistrate refused to accept them. She didn't know if he was truly honest or just pretending to be so noble as to look down on his own things.

"Okay, okay, I'll report to the Madam right away."

Jiang Jiang didn't have to wait long. As soon as Uncle Fu went to report to his wife, someone invited Jiang Jiang into the side room.

Miss Zhou Er was not there this time. In addition to Mrs. Zhou, there was a middle-aged man with a long beard who sat in the main seat with a serious face.

It should be Mr. Zhou whom I have never met.

It seems that I really haven't found a suitable gift for the noble man, even Mr. Zhou has to step in.

Although his mind was full of complicated thoughts, Jiang Jiang looked calm as he greeted Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Zhou.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou."

Without bothering to exchange pleasantries with Jiang Jiang, Mrs. Zhou asked directly, "I knew you were a capable person. I heard that your well-traveled relative brought back some rare stuff. Can we take a look at it?"

Mr. Zhou didn't say anything, but judging from his expression, he was obviously expecting something.

Jiang Jiang didn't say much and took off the package on his back.

There was an exquisite wooden box inside. Jiang Jiang opened the box in front of Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Zhou.

This?

This is?

Mr. Zhou stood up in surprise, regardless of his status.

He walked around the treasure in front of him twice and suddenly asked, "Can I pick it up and have a look?"

Of course Jiang Jiang agreed.

Mr. Zhou carefully picked up the transparent glass cup in the box and looked at it carefully. The more he looked, the more obvious the smile on his face became.

In the wooden box in front of him was a complete set of glass cups, two each of large, medium and small sizes, making up the auspicious number of six.

Mr. Zhou couldn't believe it. It would be so impressive if this kind of cup could be used to drink tea or wine.

The county magistrate will definitely like it!
