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

"Stop, Aunt Zhao, who is next to you?"

The soldiers guarding the door had a characteristic: they were very good at remembering people, and they recognized Jiang Jiang, a stranger, at once.

Aunt Zhao dodged a glance, grabbed a soldier guarding the city gate, and whispered, "Zhu Zi, please help me. I will bring someone into the city today. She will be out before night and won't cause any trouble for you."

As she spoke, she took out a handful of copper coins and gave some to everyone.

Jiang Jiang looked at it and estimated that there were more than a hundred copper coins.

Zhuzi's eyes rested on the package Jiang Jiang was carrying.

"What's in your bag? Take it out and check it."

Li Shuming's heart skipped a beat as he watched Jiang Jiang enter the city from afar.

He knew that if these officers and soldiers saw that the package was full of silver, they would definitely not miss this opportunity.

Jiang Jiang looked calm as she untied most of the package on her back, revealing the clothes and a few scattered silver coins inside. The total amount was less than one or two ounces of silver. She had put the silver into the space when she received the package. This was the safest way.

Seeing this, Zhuzi was too lazy to question her any further. He waved his hand and let her follow Aunt Zhao into the city.

Li Shuming breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know how Jiang Jiang avoided the investigation, at least he had managed to get into the city.

Qingyuan County is a county town after all. Under the direct jurisdiction of the county magistrate, its public security and prosperity are much better than those in the town.

Although there were many people on the streets with pale faces, obviously because they did not have enough food, they were still much better than the skinny refugees outside the town.

After entering the city, Jiang Jiang gave Aunt Zhao another two cents of silver according to the price agreed upon before.

Aunt Zhao smiled so hard that her teeth were showing when she got the money. It didn't take much effort for her to earn three taels of silver in one trip. It was really rare to meet such a generous customer.

After taking the money, Aunt Zhao did not leave immediately. She explained to Jiang Jiang some common sense about Qingyuan County, such as where to buy cheap food and where to find part-time job opportunities.

Jiang Jiang nodded repeatedly after hearing this. It was better to have someone tell her all this than for her to run around like a headless fly.

At the end, Aunt Zhao emphasized several times with a serious expression that Jiang Jiang must leave the city before the evening curfew, otherwise if he was caught, he would be sent directly to prison.

She didn't need to emphasize it too much, Jiang Jiang would also leave that day, and she was worried about her whole family.

Jiang Jiang first went to the grain store, where the price of grain had skyrocketed.

The price of a pound of aged rice has soared to fifty cents, and flour is even more expensive, costing seventy cents per pound.

A pound of millet costs thirty cents, and a pound of brown rice costs thirty-five cents.

Compared to January, it has increased tenfold!

And this was after the county magistrate issued an order prohibiting arbitrary price increases.

The grain price sign stated that each person was limited to purchasing five kilograms per day.

Jiang Jiang guessed that the price of food on the black market might be even more frightening.

By this calculation, the price of a bushel of rice for a maid at the city gate in the morning was not cheap.

There is nothing much in Jiang Jiang's space, except for a lot of food, and there is also space for planting, so food can be produced continuously.

She silently calculated in her mind and planned to "sell" a batch of grain to the villagers at the store price.

Rice with worms in it is 30 wen per pound, and rice without husking is also 30 wen per pound.

Moreover, she bought this unhusked rice from the people in Daxi Village and sold it to them at six times the price. The rice with worms was even cheaper. Jiang Jiang could not remember whether she bought it for one or two cents at the time.

It’s a pity that I forgot to buy some brown rice or millet with worms in it, which would have been cheaper.

For fifty taels of silver, she sold fifteen hundred kilograms of rice to the people in Daxi Village. It was estimated that each household could get more than thirty kilograms, which was not much, or even little.

Jiang Jiang planned to use the remaining five taels of silver to buy some salt, wine, sugar and other things that each household needed.

The price of grain has risen, but the price of salt has remained stable. Jiang Jiang bought a lot of salt along the way.

The salt shop didn't think there was anything wrong with Jiang Jiang buying salt for more than one hundred taels of silver. This was the price of official salt, which was twice as high as the price of private salt. After buying the salt, he couldn't do anything else except eat it himself.

The grain has been "bought", the salt has been bought, but the money has not been spent.

Jiang Jiang suddenly remembered that Doctor Qin didn't have many medicinal herbs left.

After that, no one knew how many people fell ill along the way. Some medicinal materials, after being processed, became very cheap and a large amount could be sold for a few taels of silver.

All the herbal medicine stores in Qingyuan County have not been swept away by her.

Jiang Jiang immediately turned around and walked towards the north of the city. According to Aunt Zhao, most of the larger pharmacies were there.

After spending five or six hundred taels of silver to buy the precious ginseng and bezoar in the store, Jiang Jiang also bought a lot of common Chinese medicinal materials.

Ephedra, cinnamon twig, perilla, asarum, saposhnikovia, angelica dahurica... Jiang Jiang asked for some of the cheap and common medicinal herbs. He only spent six taels and seven cents of silver for a whole bag of herbs.

For Jiang Jiang, as long as stockpiling is effective, it is a successful and meaningful thing.

She observed that along the way, the shops selling food were crowded, while the rest of the shops were unusually deserted.

For example, this jade shop in front of you.

When Jiang Jiang saw the jade headdress placed at the door, she could hardly move away.

Only in ancient times could one see such pure glass-type imperial green, which is simply refreshing.

The shop assistants rarely saw anyone lingering at the door, so they immediately invited Jiang Jiang in.

"Ma'am, please feel free to look around. We have a wide variety of jadeite in our store."

Jiang Jiang looked around. The front of the shop sold all kinds of carved jade, from headdresses to bracelets to ring faces, and there was a lot of jade raw materials in the back.

She pointed to the jadeite that had been partially packed and asked, "Are you moving away?"

The shopkeeper nearby waved his hand to let the waiter go away and started to receive the guests himself.

"Madam has a sharp vision. The current situation is turbulent. We have to follow our boss back to the provincial capital."

"Please take a look. These are all top-quality materials. If you need anything, I can give Madam a discount."

Jiang Jiang loves jade, so naturally he knows something about it.

The more she looked at the materials, the more surprised she was.

The green material is placed aside separately. Looking at its water quality, glass type and high ice type are everywhere. The worst are pure ice type and glutinous ice type. Moreover, these poor materials are not small in size. It is no problem to take out more than ten bracelets.

The other side is even more surprising.

Jiang Jiang knew that in ancient times green jade was the most valuable. The fact that the shopkeeper placed the green material aside alone was enough to prove it.

But with hundreds of colorful jade pieces placed in front of her, Jiang Jiang felt like a rat falling into a rice jar.

If any of these materials were put into the real world, it would cost tens of millions to get them.

"How do you sell this material?"
