Chapter 74 The sudden rise

Chen Bing walked up to the dock along the sloping wooden board. Although he was wearing silk, his body was worn out, and his backpack was bulging, which made him feel the gazes that were cast around him were full of malice.

The hull shook slightly, but he stood steadily, maybe this disappointed the onlookers! Chen Bing thought to himself that these porters were also powerful. Seeing that this person had strong legs and strong arms, he knew that it was not easy to mess with.

"Brother, be careful, there are too many people here!" A little servant with a pale face curled up behind him and said softly.

"Don't worry, nothing happened!" Chen Bing turned his head and showed a relaxed smile. "We have escaped from Shu to this place. I have never seen any scene before, so I feel at ease!"

Then, the two walked side by side, walked out of the dock, and came to the bustling commercial street of Baisha Port, which was famous for a long time, and then relaxed.

"Brother, why are there so few people?" The thin little brother looked at the few figures on the street and felt confused. He quickly pulled Chen Bing's sleeve and said in a panic:

"Can it be the pursuers coming? Brother, let's run away!"

"Brother, let it go, this place is the end of the world, and that dog emperor can't chase here..." Chen Bing whispered to comfort.

"Let's go, let's find a place to stay!" After walking a few steps, Chen Bing felt a little tired. He traveled from Shu to this place for several months day and night. Even though he had practiced, he was still physically and mentally tired.

"Customer, are you staying in a hotel?" When the shopkeeper came into the inn, he was weak at the counter.

"Put some rice first, we two brothers are empty!"

"Customer, please forgive me for being helpless. The entire Baisha Port has not sold grain and rice for several days, and our inn has no surplus grain. If you stay in a hotel, you can still arrange it!"

"Shopkeeper, what's wrong? I heard that Baisha Port is one of the top major ports in Hainan, so how could it be short of food?"

Chen Bing ate dry food for several months, but he was fine, but his younger sister was spoiled and could not bear it anymore and needed meat to replenish it.

"The pirates killed by heaven are not robbing, but they attack the grain ship. How can we have surplus food in Hainan?" The shopkeeper said gritting his teeth, wishing he could eat raw meat.

"It's been five or six days. My family's surplus grain was finished yesterday. The children were hungry for a day!"

The shopkeeper's face was fat, but his eyes were dull, and his body was slumped on the chair. He couldn't bear to move for a moment. Even talking to him was powerless. I thought it was really hungry.

Chen Bing frowned, and never thought that this remote place would not be peaceful. Is this world really not a way to live?

"Brother--" The little sister said crisply as she looked at her brother's frowning and meditating look.

"Nothing happened!" Chen Bing shook his head and said as usual: "Don't worry if I'm here!"

"Let's open a room!"

"Haole, the room is thirty yuan a day. How many days do you want to open it?"

"It's three days!" Chen Bing hesitated for a moment and said decisively.

"Okay, ninety coins, the guest is not from Lingnan? He is not from Fujian. Our store only accepts copper coins, lead coins and iron coins!"

The store owner was born with a pair of cheesy eyes. Even though he was so hungry, he still saw that the two of them were already short of money and said in advance.

when--

A small silver ingot was placed on the counter. The shopkeeper immediately smiled and weighed it with a small scale. Then he cut off a little with a reamer and gave it to Chen Bing.

"Don't be surprised by this, not only this store, but also Baisha Port and Qiongzhou!"

"Of course I know!" Chen Bing felt bitter in his heart after touching the number of iron coins in the package. He took this burden along the way, and threw it away but reluctant to leave it. He was really annoyed!

"Old Li, what are you doing? The Li family grain shop on the street in front of you is selling grain. Take the money there, or it will be gone!" At this time, at the door, the neighbor next door passed by with a rice bag, said in a panic, and walked away quickly.

"Oh--" the shopkeeper agreed quickly, put away the money, hurriedly picked up the long-prepared food bag, and couldn't wait to run away.

"Second floor, the third room on the left!" With a bang, the key was thrown to the ground, and his plump body disappeared in the inn, and Chen Bing was stunned.

"Brother, this..." the little girl was a little stunned.

"Let's go and have a look! Food is not a trivial matter!" Chen Bing decisively pulled his younger sister and followed quickly. In this era of chaos, food is the lifeblood of the world.

"Look in line, line up! Each person is limited to one bucket!"

"Look up for me-"

"Boy, are you looking for death? Even Mingfu (county magistrate) has to queue up..."

Chen Bing came with his younger sister, walked around for a few times, and came to a rice shop. The people who bought the rice were already lined up, and dozens of tough men maintained order.

"Brother, there are too many people!" The little girl covered her mouth and said with a crisp voice.

"Every hundred coins are worth every bull? Every bull in Sichuan can't just be worth ten coins!"

"A hundred dollars are not expensive, this is a life-threatening thing, it is considered a conscience!" Chen Bing sighed and said:

"Let's go and queue up too! This inn doesn't care about food!"

"Come on, your rice!" One guy collected money and sent a wooden card certificate, and the other sent a millet bag in a bucket, a wooden card, and a very fast speed.

"Thank you, thank you!" Those who bought the rice did not dislike the high price of the grain at all, but were busy with gratitude.

The guy was calm and used the words that had been ripe long ago: "This was transferred by my husband from Qinzhou. It cost a lot of money, but it was not easy! Our Li family chamber of war has its own way, and the grain will never be cut off..."

"Thank you, Li Langjun, it's really a Bodhisattva!"

In this way, the words of selling rice and the gratitude of buying rice were memorized. Before I knew it, Li Langjun's name had spread throughout Baisha Port.

The fact that Li's grain had rice spread to the entire Qiongzhou...

"There are rice available for sale in Guipu, why don't you know I'll wait?"

"Li Langjun, it's probably a bit too much for the Guizhou Chamber of Commerce to do this!"

"Yes! Isn't this going to cause us and the Chamber of Commerce to be injustice?"

The grain shop was buying grain, but Li Jia welcomed several uninvited guests at the headquarters of the Li Chamber of Commerce, namely the big shopkeepers of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, Tongyuan Chamber of Commerce, and Luming Chamber of Commerce.

Facing Li Langjun, who was young, although they were in Lezo, they did look arrogant, as if they were the masters.

"So, all the shopkeepers, Li Jia is just here, and I don't know what to do next?" Li Jia looked cynical on her face and replied softly.

"It is normal for the Langjun to not understand the rules just after he arrived in Baisha Port. As an elder, we should be a little lenient!" Zheng Sande, the shopkeeper of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, waved his hand and said carelessly, lifting himself to the main position in an instant.

The shopkeepers of Tongyuan Chamber of Commerce and Sihai Chamber of Commerce looked at each other, chose to default, and then watched his performance with interest.

"Little Langjun, you just need to sell the remaining grain to me, and we won't take advantage of you. Each bucket is 50 yuan. In the future, we will naturally take more care of the Li Chamber of Commerce. What do you think?"

"You are too much! Every market price is 100 yuan, but you want to buy it for fifty yuan. Our Li Chamber of Commerce is not easy to bully!"

Li Jia suddenly stood up and sneered:
Chapter completed!
