Chapter 707: ready to move
Chapter 707 Ready to move
The shopkeeper Zhu took the wet handkerchief from his wife and waited until he wiped his hands clean before inviting everyone into the backyard. There are quite a lot of goods before winter, but no one thought that there would be a rare white disaster in a hundred years, and the inventory in the warehouse had been robbed long ago. Only some for home use were left."
In the current situation, the goods in Pengcheng are not enough to sell, and the goods from outside cannot come in, and it is not known when the ice and snow will melt.
If things go on like this, the supply of daily necessities such as grain, oil, rice and noodles will not be available, and Pengcheng will be in danger sooner or later!
Yang Lan'er also knew the seriousness of the matter, and looked at Butler Wang inquiringly.
Wang Qing nodded: "It's true outside. The current disaster situation is severe. Outside the shops that are closely related to people's lives, the goods are basically sold out. Fortunately, our house has enough stocks to meet the consumption of more than a hundred people."
Shopkeeper Zhu followed behind and sighed. If it weren't for the white disaster caused by the illness of the elderly at home and the huge increase in medical expenses, he wouldn't have to sell one of his only shops.
All these are forced by life, there is nothing to do!
Yang Lan'er suddenly realized that the disaster was more serious than she imagined. At present, her grain and oil store has a daily limited supply in advance last year, and the inventory can still persist.
As for other shops outside, the shopkeepers only care about the profit and don't consider the overall situation.
After all, all this needs to be regulated by the Pengcheng county magistrate. I hope the weather will warm up sooner, and the road will be cleared sooner when the ice and snow melt.
In the dead of night, Yang Lan'er lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, her mind was always thinking about what she saw during the day.
Supplies!
In this era, when the roads are blocked by heavy snow, it is very difficult to transport materials.
I also thought of the military supplies and food that were still on the way, and I was forced to stop halfway, and I don’t know how much more this delay will cost? But the instigator of all this, Yu Zizhen, had left the team and entered Pengcheng first.
Thinking of the news Xiao Jiu brought to her today, Yang Lan'er was a little ready to move after all.
The night is dense, the windows in the house are slightly open, the curtains are shaken by the cold wind from time to time, and the faint light of the lanterns in the corridor shines in, shadows and ghosts.
"Who!!"
Xiao Jiu was sleeping soundly, and felt in a daze that there was someone beside the bed. He let out a low snort in horror, saying that Chi Na quickly turned over and attacked.
The man in black turned around and staggered his steps to remove his moves with his bare hands, and responded crisply: "It's me!"
Xiao Jiu was stunned, took two steps back in a hurry, opened her mouth wide in shock, and said incoherently: "Madam!"
You are a lot of adults, what can you not think about in the middle of the night, you have to stand by the bed to scare people!
I am so surprised!
Yang Lan'er hummed softly, and stood aside with her arms crossed, watching him silently.
A gust of cold wind blew in, Xiao Jiu shivered and rubbed her arms, "You didn't sleep and came to look for me. What do you want me to do?"
If you have nothing to do, go back early.
With a stretch of his long arms, he put on the robe placed by the bed and put it on as quickly as possible.
Seeing that he was fully dressed, Yang Lan'er looked out the window and raised her chin to Xiao Jiu: "Don't you think the night outside is just right?"
"Just right?" Xiao Jiu stretched her neck and looked outside, what's so good about being black?
He couldn't figure out Yang Lan'er's brain circuit, and scratched the back of his head helplessly. Could it be that Madam was unwilling to be lonely at night and couldn't sleep at night, so she wanted to entertain him!
