Return to the beginning of fleeing from famine, holding space to counterattack

Chapter 19 Isn't this a scam?
Jiang Nanqing and the others entered the town and found that the situation in the town was also very bad. There were beggars all along the street, more than half of the shops selling things were closed, and there were no people in the open shops.

Jiang Nanqing and the others finally found a stall selling noodles, Jiang Shidong said quickly.

"Boss, bring us four bowls of noodles, hurry up."

Jiang Nanqing touched the Sanjin next to him, raised a hand and said, "Add one bowl, five bowls."

Sanjin must have a bowl of noodles. Last night when he was fighting with the wolves, he had consumed a lot, so he had to eat some good ones.

Jiang Shidong knew that one bowl was for Sanjin, he hesitated and said, "Five bowls, boss, we want five bowls."

The owner of the noodle stand held out his hand to them and said, "Pay first."

Jiang Shidong nodded and said, "Okay, how much is the total?"

"A bowl of noodles costs two hundred cash. If you order five bowls, that's one tael of silver. Hurry up and get the money, or I won't be able to make it for you."

Jiang Shidong raised his voice suddenly and shouted: "What? One tael of silver? Are you robbery?"

"What are you shouting about? It's the same price now. It's still cheap for me. You can try another one. It's much more expensive than mine. And don't look at what time it is now. The price of food is one day. You guys If you don't want to eat, then leave quickly." The boss said with a straight face.

Today is different from the past. Now I don’t know how many people can’t eat, and the price of food is rising. Even if they sell fields and houses, they can’t fill their stomachs.

Wei Haixiu smiled and said, "Brother, we are fleeing famine, and we really don't have that much money. See if you can give us less."

"No." The boss said with a cold face, "If I give you less, then what will I use to buy food? They won't give me less, whether you like to eat or not, anyway, it's only this price, maybe I will pay more tomorrow. Keep raising prices."

Jiang Shidong gritted his teeth, took out a tael of silver and handed it to the boss and said.

"we eat."

"Okay, wait, the noodles will be ready soon."

Before the family was robbed, Jiang Nanqing transferred all the money he saved to the cave, and at the same time told Jiang Xinliang to prepare some silver taels, so they still had a lot of money.

The current situation has not reached a particularly serious time, so the money can still be used, and the money will be useless later on. Even if you take a box of gold, you may not be able to buy a bucket of rice.

However, according to the current market situation, Jiang Nanqing and the others would not have enough money at that time, and they would spend it all soon.

When the noodles were served on the table, Jiang Shidong was dumbfounded again. The soup in the bowl accounted for more than half, and there were not many noodles at all.

Jiang Shidong asked: "Boss, your house is too dark. That's all you need for a bowl of noodles worth two hundred renminbi? Aren't you cheating?"

"That's all, eat or not."

Jiang Shidong wanted to get angry when he saw the boss's attitude. Jiang Nanqing pulled Jiang Shidong's sleeve, shook his head at him, and said in a low voice.

"Father, don't be impulsive."

Jiang Shidong snorted, and forcibly held back his temper.

Wei Haixiu took out four white flour pancakes from the bag and handed them to Jiang Nanqing and they said.

"Come, one per person, and eat together with noodles."

Eating just this bowl of noodles is definitely not enough to fill you up, so Wei Haixiu took out white noodle pancakes.

As soon as Wei Haixiu took out the white flour pancakes, the owner of the noodle stall immediately cast his gaze over, staring straight at the white flour pancakes in her hand.
