Chapter 259.
Chen family.
“Back so soon, huh?”
Looking at Chen Qi, who had just pushed the door in, Chen Maiden, who was sewing clothes, immediately put down the needle and thread in her hand and asked, “Did you borrow it?”
The idea of borrowing grain from Wang Dust was her idea, only that it was not good for her to come forward as a woman herself, so she forced her husband to run to Wang Dust’s house to ask for help.
Niangzi Chen was well aware of Chen Qi’s character, often dying to save face.
It was also difficult for him to let him go borrow grain.
“Borrowed.”
Chen Qi placed the storage bag pinched in his hand on the table and sat down with his head hanging down.
He felt that he was too incompetent, he couldn’t even feed his wife and children, and he still had to borrow food from others, he didn’t deserve to be a manly man!
Niangzi Chen’s eyes lit up, “How much did you borrow?”
Chen Qi somewhat blankly asked to shake his head, “I, I don’t know.”
He really didn’t know.
“You ah you!”
Niangzi Chen hated it and probed her hand to take the storage bag and open it to check.
“Almost three hundred pounds!”
After checking she said joyfully, “All of them are spirit grains, this way Jin’er and Yu’er have the sustenance for cultivation!”
Chen Qi’s two sons had all five elements, and both had the potential to cultivate.
The husband and wife had high hopes in them as well.
Both sons were still young and were in the process of growing their bodies, and if they wanted to have a firm foundation, then they had to use their cultivation rations to strengthen their bones and condense their mana.
The problem is that the price of spiritual rice and grain and animal meat is too expensive.
It had risen too ridiculously!
Chen Qi smiled bitterly, “It has to be paid back.”
He didn’t want to be an old scoundrel who owed a debt, the problem was that it was really hard to pay back so much spirit grain.
“Let’s talk about it after we get through the hard times.”
Niangzi Chen sighed, “Daoyou Wang is quite righteous, we can’t apologize to him ……”
She secretly made a decision in her heart!
Wang Chen’s favor must be repaid.
But how to repay it, that would have to be pondered over.
As Nyonya Chen thought in her heart, Wang Chen’s face suddenly appeared in her sea of consciousness, so clear that it seemed to be close to her eyes.
This shrewd and capable woman couldn’t help but tighten the storage bag in her hand.
At this moment, Wang Chen had just arrived at the marketplace.
Even though it was not a market day, there were still people setting up stalls inside the market.
In addition, there are also many stores near the market, this area is actually the CBD of Dongwu Zhai.
Wang Dust turned around and didn’t purchase anything.
However, he was surprised to find that the price of spirit grain in the grain store was as high as fifteen broken spirits a catty!
Such a price was really beyond Wang Chuan’s realm of understanding.
Back then, when he was cultivating the spirit fields in Yunyang Sect, the price of the white jade rice grain he sold to the grain merchant was fifty pounds of one spirit.
It was equivalent to two crushed spirits a catty.
If the grain merchant then sold it to someone else, it would definitely be a price increase, but even if the price of grain skyrocketed, the most expensive was not this expensive.
This price was simply cannibalistic!
Wang Dust finally understood why Chen Qi sought to borrow grain from himself.
He simply couldn’t afford the current rice ah!
Not only was the price of spirit rice soaring, ordinary tribute rice also followed suit, reaching a staggering level.
Moreover, the owner of the grain store was still acting like he loved to buy it or not, and if he didn’t buy it, the price would still go up tomorrow!
As for the reasons for this, Wang Dust heard several possible truths in the teahouse.
The first is that the autumn grain production in Yunyang’s homeland has dropped dramatically.
Tahoe Peak lifted its peak and soared, almost pumping the spirit vein of Tian Yun Mountain until it dried up.
Losing the nourishment of this spiritual vein, the quality of the spiritual fields in Yunyang’s hometown was much worse, and the rice production followed a serious decline.
The price of grain naturally soared.
In fact, such a situation should have happened half a year ago.
But at that time, in order to stabilize the people’s hearts, the Guiyuan Sect that occupied Yunyang’s hometown acquired and mobilized a large batch of spiritual rice from other places, stabilizing the price of food without soaring up.
But this kind of money-losing thing, Guiyuan Sect also only do once, the next will not care about it.
This led to a crisis after the winter!
It is said that Yunshan Yunhai and several other immortal cities, the purchase of spiritual rice and grains are limited to the amount, not allowed to purchase large quantities.
In addition, over the past month, the outer regions of the theft of cultivation is very active, demonic cultivators and evil cultivators frequently appear, traveling merchants to and from the north and south do not dare to come out to run goods.
In such a situation, as if the outside world island like Dongwu Zhai, and how can not be impacted?
In fact, Dongwu Zhai good, at least life is quite stable, the price of rice is also limited to the price, stay up and insist on the past.
The real tragedy is those small cottages with poor anti-risk ability.
These small cottages in the scattered cultivators once not enough to eat, it is easy to infighting, killing each other to plunder each other’s wealth.
The sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity and moral character are not worth mentioning in front of survival!
Recently, in Dongwu Walled City, there were quite a few escaped cultivators.
The market is not very stable.
Wang Chuan didn’t take a few steps from the teahouse before he saw someone doing “human market” business on the street.
“This fellow Daoist.”
Probably because Wang Chuan looked at him twice more, he was targeted by a toothman, who came over and asked with a nod and a bow, “Do you want to buy a maid to go back to the moulting mortal cultivation, make the bed and fold the quilt, warm the bed and cook are very good.”
Said the tooth man also pulled over a thirteen or fourteen year old girl.
“How about you take a look at her, a metamorphosis virgin, you can take her home for a hundred down spirits!”
How much is a hundred shilling nowadays?
Just a few hundred pounds of rice!
The young girl who was worth a few hundred pounds of rice timidly looked at Wang Chen, a hopeful look in her eyes.
Her figure was thin and weak, but her looks weren’t bad, and she was a little beauty when she was well-tuned.
Wang Dust ignored the other party’s gaze, and even more so, he ignored the tooth man who was selling and peddling, and left on his own.
He wasn’t a saint and didn’t have the ability to save everyone.
Taking care of himself was good enough!
Returning home, Wang Chen dived into the underground chamber and took out the storage bag stored in a hidden place
Recounted his stock of food.
According to the current market price, the price of these seized spiritual rice and grains had doubled at least five times.
It was a win!
But Wang Chen did not have any joy.
Because of these spiritual rice and grains, he was keeping them for himself and had no thoughts of selling them.
Although selling high and harvesting low was a good idea.
But in the current situation, I’m afraid that the price of spiritual rice is going to be high for a long time, and I’m afraid that I’ll have to buy it back at the same, or even higher, price after I sell it.
Of course, if you have food in your hand, you will not panic, at least Wang Chen’s heart is certainly very stable.
In the next few days, more people flocked to Dongwu Village.
It seems that the scattered cultivators in a radius of several hundred miles have all gathered here.
The most direct consequence of this was that the law and order situation in Dongwu Walled City suddenly became bad.
Even though the City Lord’s Mansion had set up a guard hall to do the dirty work.
However, just relying on the strength of the Guard Hall was obviously not enough to suppress these outsiders.
It was at this time that Xin Han announced his seclusion and handed over all the affairs of the City Lord’s Mansion to his concubine.
As well as the concubine’s younger brother, Golden Snake Lang Jun!
This pair of siblings, had the momentum of manipulating the good Dongwu Walled City to death.
Let a person uneasy.
