Chapter 958 Legitimate Ways to Make Money
Lu Qingqing listened to the man's drawn-out singing, which sounded like he was performing an opera.
Seeing that he was about to continue singing, he coldly interrupted him.
"Shut up!"
The man immediately fell silent the moment those words were uttered.
Even, being quite pragmatic, she kept her mouth shut.
Seeing his expression, Lu Qingqing asked:
"Do you live around here?"
The man hesitated for a moment, then said tentatively:
"Good sir, we just want some money for food."
You're not trying to implicate my family, are you?
My mother was an honest and simple woman who never did anything wrong in her life.
If you insist on venting your anger, I'll accept any beatings or punishments, but please don't take it out on my family!
Lu Qingqing didn't expect that this guy was also a filial son.
After thinking for a moment, he asked:
"I want to buy a batch of grain. Do you have any connections?"
However, if you're not familiar with them, then forget it!
Upon hearing this, the man quickly replied.
"I know it so well, so well, so well! I know it so well!"
I, Wang Daniu, grew up in this area, and I know everything that happens around here.
As for the matter of grain, they are even more familiar with it.
I know a shopkeeper who deals in grain.
Good sir, you've come to the right person.
Since the temperature dropped last year, grain prices in this city have skyrocketed.
It's not easy to buy cheap grain that's also free of sand.
As Wang Daniu spoke, he stood up quite consciously.
Seeing this, the men around him also stood up.
Seeing that Lu Qingqing's expression didn't seem angry, Wang Daniu took a step forward and said with a grin:
"Good man, when are you going to buy grain, and how much do you need? I'll go and ask for you in advance."
Seeing his reaction, Lu Qingqing asked about the price.
Then, after roughly calculating, I reported a quantity.
When Wang Daniu heard this, his eyes widened.
Goodness gracious! You're buying so much!
He said his left eyelid had been twitching all night, and he thought it meant he was about to make a fortune.
Unexpectedly, it's a legitimate path!
Wang Daniu couldn't suppress the urge to smile when he thought about the money he could get from this deal.
“My lord, you require a large quantity of grain. I must first inquire about it.”
Rest assured, the grain I found for you is guaranteed to be of high quality.
Rest assured about the price; it's absolutely the lowest in the entire Dongyuan City!
Lu Qingqing said a few words to him, agreed on a meeting place for the next day, and then drove away in her carriage.
Behind them, Wang Daniu and the others watched the carriage drive away into the distance.
They cheered only after the things were completely out of sight.
"Wow, I'm going to get rich!"
"Brothers, if that goes well tomorrow, we won't go hungry!"
Several people cheered.
Soon, a man hesitated before speaking.
"Brother Da Niu, was that kid reliable?"
Although he was driving a horse-drawn carriage, he didn't look very old.
"Does he have the money to provide so much grain?"
Wang Daniu calmed down a bit, but then waved his hand.
"Don't worry about how much he can buy in the end, as long as he buys some, we can make some money."
Normally, there aren't many wealthy people coming to the north of the city.
"We brothers haven't been able to open a shop for ten days or half a month!"
The others echoed this sentiment, and soon dispersed.
Seeing that everyone had left, Wang Daniu quietly walked along the path towards the south of the city.
On the other side, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang left the north of the city.
The road conditions have improved considerably, and the carriage has picked up its speed as well.
When I arrived at the agreed location, everyone else had already arrived.
When Bai Song and Yan Xu saw them coming, they hurried forward.
They breathed a sigh of relief after learning that they were not injured.
However, apart from the Wu family finding a small inn that was willing to let them stay overnight.
The rest of the people couldn't find a place to stay.
Especially Bai Song and his soldiers, perhaps because of their heavy aura or because there were too many of them.
Many shops closed their doors as soon as they saw them from afar.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingqing told everyone about the inn she had found.
Everyone was overjoyed to know they had found a place to stay.
They immediately decided to head north of the city together.
Seeing this, the Wu family thought about it and decided to go along with them.
As for the deposit I paid at that inn, it's just going to be wasted.
Lu Qingqing checked the time in her spatial storage; curfew was approaching soon.
Fearing they would be arrested, she hurriedly urged everyone to head north of the city.
However, before they even left the south of the city, it was already curfew time.
Everyone was a little apprehensive and silently quickened their pace.
I don't know if patrols in the city haven't started yet, or if they just haven't found this place.
When they reached the northern border of the city, they had not yet encountered any patrolling soldiers.
Upon entering the northern part of the city, the roads became bumpy and uneven.
Not only did the carriage slow down, but the villagers pushing it also slowed down.
At night, the light is dim, and if you're not careful, the wheels can get stuck in a ditch, requiring several people to help push them out.
After a great deal of effort, we finally arrived at the old inn in the north of the city.
Seeing the closed courtyard gate, many people plopped down on the ground.
Old Zhuang and Sun Yue heard the commotion and rushed out.
He was relieved to see that everyone had arrived.
During the time Lu Qingqing was away, the two of them had already toured the entire inn.
How many rooms does the inn have, and how many people can stay in each room?
They figured out exactly where the kitchen and the outhouse were.
After discussing with Bai Song, Manager Wu, and others, the rooms were assigned.
After fleeing famine for so long, everyone was exhausted.
After taking his valuables to his room, he went straight to sleep.
At night, only the person on duty was dozing off, propping himself up on his arms.
A dreamless night.
I haven't had a proper night's sleep in a bed in a long time.
The next day, everyone woke up feeling quite refreshed.
Because there were only two outhouses, long queues formed outside the outhouses early in the morning.
Seeing this, Old Man Zhuang went straight to the kitchen.
He took the iron pot from the stove and went to the well.
When Bai Song saw that the old man wanted to fetch water himself, he immediately called two soldiers over.
They took on the task of fetching water.
With a rare water source available, everyone immediately started fetching water to replenish their supply after using the outhouse.
Having experienced the hardship of water shortage, everyone filled almost every container, big and small, with water.
Most families are having porridge for breakfast today.
Having grown accustomed to dry, hard flatbreads, many people squinted comfortably when drinking soft porridge.
After a bowl of hot porridge, I felt my intestines relax and feel comfortable.
After breakfast, everyone decided to go out and do some shopping.
