Chen Family.
"You're back so soon?"
Looking at Chen Qi who had just opened the door, Madam Chen, who was sewing clothes, immediately put down the needle and thread in his hand and asked, "Have you borrowed it?"
It was her idea to borrow food from Wang Chen, but she was a woman and couldn't come forward, so she forced her husband to go to Wang Chen's house for help.
Madam Chen is very aware of Chen Qi's character, who often sacrifices face and suffers.
It is also difficult for him to ask him to borrow food.
"Borrowed it."
Chen Qi put the storage bag in his hand on the table and sat down dejectedly.
He felt that he was too incompetent and could not even support his wife and children. He had to borrow food from others and was not worthy of being a man!
Madam Chen's eyes lit up. "How much did you borrow?"
Chen Qi shook his head in confusion. "I, I don't know either."
He really doesn't know.
"You, you!"
Madam Chen hates that iron cannot be made into steel, so he took the storage bag and opened it to check.
"Almost three hundred pounds!"
After checking, she said happily, "All of them are Spirit Grain, so Jin'er and Yu'er have the qualifications to practice!"
Chen Qi's two sons have all five elements and both have the potential for cultivation.
The couple also placed high hopes on them.
The two sons are still young, and when they are growing up, if they want to have a solid foundation, they must use the qualifications of cultivating immortals to strengthen their bones and soul and condense their magic power.
The problem is that Spirit Rice Spirit Grain and animal meat are too expensive.
The rise is ridiculous!
Chen Qi smiled bitterly, "I have to pay it back."
He doesn't want to be an old man with debts. The problem is that it is really difficult to pay back so many Spirit Grain.
"Let's talk about it after we get through this."
Madam Chen sighed, "Fellow Daoist Wang is very loyal, we can't be sorry to him..."
She secretly made a decision in her heart!
Wang Chen's kindness must be repaid.
But how to repay, you have to think carefully.
Madam Chen thought to herself, Wang Chen's face suddenly appeared in her Sea of Consciousness, as clear as if she was right before her eyes.
This smart and capable woman couldn't help but clenched the storage bag in her hand.
At this moment, Wang Chen has just arrived at Marketplace.
Although it is not a market day, there are still people setting up stalls inside Marketplace.
In addition, there are many shops near Marketplace. This area is actually the CBD of Dongwu Stockade.
Wang Chen turned around and didn't buy anything.
But he was surprised to find that the price of Spirit Grain in the grain store was as high as fifteen Shattered Spirit per pound!
Such a price is really beyond Wang Chen's understanding.
At that time, he was Yunyang Sect Cultivating Spirit Fields, and the price of White Jade Rice grain he sold to grain merchants was fifty kilograms per spirit.
Equivalent to two Shattered Spirit per pound.
If the grain store sells it to other people, it will definitely increase the price, but even if the price of grain increases sharply, the most expensive ones are not that expensive.
This price is simply destructive!
Wang Chen finally understood why Chen Qi asked him to borrow food.
He simply cannot afford the current rice!
Not only the price of Spirit Rice has risen sharply, but the price of ordinary Tribute Rice has also risen with the trend, reaching a staggering level.
Moreover, the owner of the grain store looks like he wants to buy it or not. If he doesn't buy it, the price will rise tomorrow!
As for the reason, Wang Chen heard several possible truths in the teahouse.
The first is that the autumn grain production in Yunyang's hometown has been greatly reduced.
Taihao Peak soared to the top, almost driving Tianyun Mountain Spirit Vein dry.
Without the nourishment of this Spirit Vein, the quality of Spirit Field in Yunyang's hometown has deteriorated a lot, and the rice yield has seriously declined.
Food prices naturally soared.
In fact, this situation should have happened half a year ago.
However, in order to stabilize people's hearts, Guiyuan Sect, who occupied Yunyang's hometown at that time, purchased and mobilized a large number of Spirit Rice from other places, which stabilized the price of food from soaring.
But Guiyuan Sect would only do such a loss-making thing once, and then ignore it.
As a result, the crisis becomes apparent after winter!
It is said that Yunshan Yunhai and other fairy cities have limited portions when purchasing Spirit Rice Spirit Grain and do not allow bulk purchases.
In addition, in the past month, the pirated repairs of Outer Region have been very active. Devil Cultivator and Evil Cultivator have appeared frequently. Tourists traveling from north to south have not dared to come out to sell goods.
Under such circumstances, how could Dongwu Stockade, which is like an isolated island of Outer Region, not be impacted?
In fact, Dongwu Stockade is not bad. At least life is relatively stable. No matter how expensive the price of rice is, it is limited. It will be over if you persist for a while.
The real misfortunes are those small villages with poor risk resistance.
Once the Rogue Cultivator in these small villages don't have enough to eat, they are prone to internal strife, fighting each other and plundering each other's wealth.
Etiquette, integrity and moral character are not worth mentioning in the face of survival!
Recently, there have been many fleeing Rogue Cultivators in Dongwu Stockade.
The market is not very stable.
Wang Chen After walking a few steps from the teahouse, he saw someone doing "Human Market" business on the street.
"This fellow Daoist."
Probably because Wang Chen took a second look, he was spotted by a tooth man. He came over and nodded and asked, "Would you like to buy a maid back? Mortal Transformation cultivation is good at making the bed, warming the bed, and cooking."
As he said that, Yaren also pulled over a thirteen or fourteen year old girl.
"Look at how she is, Mortal Transformation virgin, you can take it home with just one hundred Lower Spirit!"
What is one hundred Lower Spirit now?
Just a few hundred kilograms of rice!
The girl who was worth hundreds of kilograms of rice looked at Wang Chen timidly, with a look of hope in her eyes.
She is thin, but her appearance is not bad, and she is a little beauty after taking good care of herself.
Wang Chen ignored the other party's gaze, not to mention the tooth man who was hawking hard, and left on his own.
He is not Saint, and he does not have the ability to save everyone.
Just take good care of yourself!
Back home, Wang Chen sneaked into the underground secret room and took out the storage bag stored in a secret place
Re-counted his inventory of food.
According to the current market price, the price of these seized Spirit Rice Spirit Grain has increased at least five times.
What a win!
But Wang Chen didn't feel any joy.
Because he kept these Spirit Rice Spirit Grain for himself and had no intention of selling them.
Although selling high and paying low is a good idea.
However, under the current situation, the price of Spirit Rice rice may remain at a high level for a long time, and after selling, it may have to be bought back at the same or even higher price.
Of course, I don't feel panic when I have food in hand. At least Wang Chen must be very stable in his heart.
In the next few days, more people poured into Dongwu Stockade.
It seems that Rogue Cultivator from hundreds of miles around are all gathered here.
The most direct consequence of this is that the security situation in Dongwu Stockade suddenly became bad.
Although City Lord's Mansion made a Guard Hall to do the dirty work.
But relying solely on the power of the Guard Hall is obviously not enough to suppress these outsiders.
It happened that at this time Xin Han announced his retreat and handed over all the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion to his concubine.
And Concubine Ji's younger brother——Golden Snake Gentleman!
This pair of siblings has the attitude of manipulating the good Dongwu Stockade to death.
Disturbing.
