Chapter five hundred and fortieth the price is outrageous
When Da Niu Niang saw Shui Ling, she thought she was here to bully others. She frowned, pointed her kitchen knife, and said angrily: "What are you doing here with your little hooves?"
The old lady quickly explained, "Don't... Big Cowgirl, this girl is here to pick us up and live with our sons."
The big cowgirl did not show happiness, but said more solemnly: "You are trying to make a living after a failed plan. You have to kill us all before you are willing to do it?"
Shui Ling handed over the list, "Take a look."
The big cowgirl was actually literate. She read the list and said, "It looks like Bai Rui's handwriting. What evidence do you have to prove that what you said is true?"
Shui Ling, "..." No, I didn't bring anyone here today.
She thought for a while and realized that it would be useless to talk too much, so she said: "Let's do this. You will leave the city at noon tomorrow, and I will take people to the beach to meet you."
When the big cowgirl saw what she said, she lowered her guard and asked, "Can't you do it today?" It was obvious that she was also worried about her son.
Shui Ling shook his head, "No, I'm going to steal the men from the Sun family. By the way, where is the mine?"
The big cowgirl was dumbfounded, "Steal... a man?"
Shui Ling smiled coquettishly and said, "Sun Lan's family, they are good people and should not be tortured in the mine. If I ask for them directly, they will not give them to me."
Even if he has a high status and has the emperor's token, he cannot interfere with other people's handling of the case. After all, he has no evidence and no energy to verify it.
The Big Cowgirl nodded in agreement, "Pearl divers often drown and then disappear. If you steal it...ahem...it should be fine."
"But you need someone to warn them in advance, otherwise you won't be able to enter the pearl quarry."
Shui Ling nodded and said with difficulty: "I don't have the manpower now, and I don't know anyone. I don't know how to notify them."
"By the way, I haven't said that I am the new city lord of Qionghai City. That is my fiefdom. I welcome anyone who is willing to work hard with me to build Qionghai City."
"When our city is built, their identities as prisoners can be cleared, and their children and grandchildren can still take part in scientific examinations."
The big cowgirl was moved. Her son was arrested for beating up a powerful person, and her grandson could not take the scientific examination. If she helped this woman, her grandson would have a bright future.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Let me inform them for you. Do you have a boat?"
Shui Ling frowned, "I have a boat, but it can only hold ten people, but it can tow other boats behind it."
My antique speedboat looks like a small fishing boat without a shed, but its power is no problem.
The big cowgirl now forgot to take precautions and said: "I have a boat at home, I will take you to get it."
Shui Ling helped the old lady back first. She had difficulty with her legs and feet, so she would not take her with her today.
Seeing that there was no food in the house, she left some compressed biscuits to eat first.
Then follow the big cowgirl to another city gate and go out. There is a pier not far away. Take a boat from the pier and go around to the cliff on the right, where is the pearl quarry.
Many people went into the sea with ropes tied to their bodies. Their bodies were red and their eyes were dull, like numb machines.
There were only three officers and soldiers guarding these people, and they were drinking and chatting next to the tables and chairs on the shore.
Shui Ling looked at the environment and said, "Can they swim to us while diving?"
The big cowgirl nodded, "Anything is fine, and it can go a little further."
Shui Ling touched his chin and said, "Let's do this. You can find a way to notify them. I'll be waiting here."
The big cowgirl hesitated and asked, "How long can we wait?" She was afraid that Shui Ling would be impatient.
Shui Ling asked: "Do they have to be locked up at night?"
"Yes." The big cowgirl nodded.
Shui Ling chuckled, "Then come together and hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to escape when the officers and soldiers react."
"As long as we get on the boat, I can take them away quickly so that they don't know where we have gone."
The big cowgirl nodded, "I understand."
The two of them went back first. The big cowgirl handed the boat to Shui Ling and went to do some business.
Shuiling hid the boat and walked around the city. When he saw a grain shop, he walked in to check the grain.
Japonica rice costs 100 Wen per catty, slightly clean rice costs 50 Wen per catty, and broken rice costs 30 Wen per catty, with lots of sand and rice bran visible to the naked eye.
Corn kernels are twenty cents a pound, beans and corn are fifteen cents, and the cheapest is miscellaneous grains. This miscellaneous grain does not mean that there are many types mixed together, but sand, stones, rice bran and other items are mixed with broken rice.
This sells for ten cents a pound.
Shuiling was puzzled. The sand and stones in this kind of food weighed heavily, so who would buy it?
I've been here for a long time, but the waiter didn't pay attention to me, which shows that the business is not good.
After leaving this shop, Shui Ling went to the dim sum shop again and walked out doubting his life. A piece of rice cake is fifty cents. Can you afford it? You can't afford it.
A pound of rice is only fifty cents, and a piece of rice cake is only two taels. You sell it for fifty cents?
Shui Ling gritted his teeth, found a rice shop in the corner and walked in.
A young man of sixteen or seventeen years old who looked very happy said: "Girl, what can I buy? We don't have much food in our shop, but it's not expensive."
Shuiling looked around and saw that the rice price was the same as that store, but the quality was very good, and there was no sand or debris in the broken rice.
"Bring me a thousand kilograms of rice." Shuiling said.
The waiter was startled, "One thousand catties? But the government said that ordinary people can only buy ten catties per person. It's not allowed to exceed that."
Shui Ling, "..." Sooner or later he will overthrow this county magistrate.
"Is the same ten pounds okay?"
The guy thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
Shui Ling breathed a sigh of relief, this was a loophole he took advantage of, just buy as much as you can.
I have plenty of pocket money, so I don't care about this.
She took the grain and went to the grocery store to check again. There was no soy sauce, no vinegar, no cooking wine...
The only seasoning is salt, but there are a lot of small fish and dried shrimps in the sea, and some mushrooms are also included.
Shuiling looked at the mushrooms and asked, "How do you sell these mushrooms?"
The waiter said: "That's all. It tastes weird and no one likes it. If you can wrap it up, I'll take it away for a tael of silver."
Shui Ling, "..." One tael of silver can buy five catties in Ruoshui Village, but you only buy about one catty.
"Okay, wrap it up."
The waiter nodded, wrapped up the shiitake mushrooms, and gave her the crumbs, which totaled about one and a half kilograms.
Shuiling's mouth twitched and she smiled and said, "Thank you, do you have any vegetable seeds?"
The waiter shook his head, "We can't grow it here, so the vegetables are all from outside, which is very expensive."
Shui Ling nodded, "Well, what can we grow here?"
The guy has nothing to do at the moment, he's pretty and handsome, and he's willing to talk.
