"We didn't bring a scale beam here. If any of you have a scale beam, please lend it to us and weigh it, okay?"

Chu Lixuan looked at his daughter-in-law dotingly, saying that she seemed to have a weight, but once everyone heard that there was food for sale, they could ignore everything else.

Jiang Xinyan was thinking that she would finally make her first pot of gold. The previous exchanges with King Zhenbei were all losses, which was really not easy!

From an empty grain store, a lean shopkeeper in his forties rushed out and shouted at Chu Lixuan and his wife, nodding and bowing.

"I have it, I have it. Sir, please sell ten kilograms of rice to me first, and I will weigh it for you for free, okay?"

"Yes! Okay, then you come here first to carry this bag of polished rice to weigh it, and I will sell this bag of rice to you." Jiang Xinyan's pleasant voice was particularly pleasant.

"Other people who want to buy rice and flour should queue up consciously and avoid crowding. It's first come, first served. Those who deliberately crowd will be disqualified."

The shopkeeper of the equally empty grain store opposite said: "..." That's all fine! Old Man Liu is just shameless.

He quickly went to line up, and other people nearby also lined up consciously, and everyone told each other.

"Don't be crowded. People who deliberately crowd will be disqualified from purchasing. Don't be crowded."

The shameless old man Liu ran to the carriage with a smile on his face, "Thank you, noble man. My surname is Liu, and the neighbors call me old Liu. When weighing, I will be fair and just."

"Old man Liu, I believe you," Jiang Xinyan said, using her eyes to signal Chu Lixuan to bring him a bag of rice.

Old Liu looked at the man like he was carrying a bag of cotton. He thought it didn't weigh much and wanted to pick it up with his hand, but Chu Lixuan threw it directly onto his shoulder.

Old Man Liu staggered under the pressure. That bag of rice weighed one hundred kilograms. Old Man Liu was the shopkeeper, and it was usually the shop assistants who moved the goods.

Old Liu gritted his teeth and staggered towards the shop. Kind-hearted neighbors immediately stepped forward to help him.

"Old Liu, don't break your waist. I'll help you carry it in. If I don't grab the rice later, you can share some with me."

Soon there was a queue like a long queue. The people behind were worried, but they had nothing to do anyway.

Just watch the excitement. It might not happen if you are lucky. Everyone is queuing up excitedly and anxiously.

At this time, I heard the sweet voice of the oriole coming out of the grain again, "Everyone is limited to ten kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of flour, and our bag is one hundred kilograms."

That is to say, ten people share a bag of rice and a bag of flour, prepare the money, and come to collect it in order.

Ask Old Man Liu to help you separate later. If you are not fit enough, come to us immediately. Do you all understand?"

"Understood, the ten of us will quickly collect four, two, or three hundred coins for you, and then we can move away with a bag of rice and a bag of flour."

The shopkeeper who despised Old Man Liu figured it out quickly this time. He just wanted to show his face in front of the noble man, and he didn't care whether he was slapped in the face or not.

"Hmm! This uncle is really fast in calculations. Just help us collect the money and sell you an extra ten kilograms of rice later." Jiang Xinyan especially likes people who know current affairs.

The disdainful middle-aged shopkeeper immediately stepped out of the queue with a smile on his face. He stopped queuing, walked between the ten people in the first line, stretched out his hand and said:

"Hurry, hurry up, you can advance the payment to one or two people, and then we can calculate the details later. Come on, give me four, two, or three hundred cash first, and then you can immediately take away the two bags and distribute them."

Jiang Xinyan: "..." I wonder if this person is too smart!

Someone immediately echoed and agreed with his statement, "Hey! I'll give you four taels. Whoever has three hundred coins on him should move quickly, and we can divide the rice and flour."

The first team quickly handed over the money, and ten people came out carrying two bags. Jiang Xinyan was holding a large wooden basin to collect the money.

Her smile was as bright as a flower, and she was so beautiful that Chu Lixuan saw his daughter-in-law happily accepting the money, and handed out a bag of rice and a bag of flour.

The couple works well together, and the others also work well together.

Jiang Xinyan collected a plate of silver, got on the carriage, put it into the space, and took the opportunity to move the food out of the space.

It took an hour to sell out the grain for the "two carriages". Normally, a carriage could hold up to three thousand kilograms, or thirty bags.

It only takes a cup of tea to sell out, but they have been collecting money and dividing the flour into centimeters, and no one cares about how much they have sold.

Almost all the rich people in this street have bought food, and some rich people who happen to come to this street for business can also buy rice and flour.

Some people wanted to wait in line again, but Jiang Xinyan shouted, "No more, you don't want to wait in line."

There were also many penniless people standing nearby and watching helplessly. They did not line up because they had no coins.

Jiang Xinyan looked at the impoverished poor. Their clothes were patched with patches and had holes.

"Hey! It seems like you haven't had porridge for a long time, so how about it! The couple originally wanted to save a few bags to eat on the way back to the capital, but now we will share them with you, one bag for each hundred people."

In this way, more than twenty bags were divided. Others were also jealous, but they were afraid of Chu Lixuan, so they did not dare to bite.

This street is not yet considered a wealthy street, so the town's lord Bo and the real small aristocratic families don't know that Jiang Xinyan and his wife are selling grain.

By the time they got the news, Chu Lixuan and his wife had already disappeared, but as long as they didn't leave the city gate, they were still able to find them.

It's a pity that they are no longer in Shaling Town, so when everyone wakes up and looks at the high-quality rice in their hands, they feel extremely happy.

They had seen a true immortal. How could there be such a beautiful person in the world? There were thousands of bags of rice in the two carriages!

The common people later realized the truth and rushed to see the carriage left by the immortal.

Jiang Xinyan and his wife abandoned the carriage and drove straight to the long-awaited Yumen Pass. The Yumen Pass in front of them was not as majestic as Jiang Xinyan imagined.

From a distance, it looks like a huge, yellow, irregular piece of tofu, or like a huge boulder falling from the sky, standing in the desert away from the noise of the city.

Chu Lixuan told his daughter-in-law that Yumen Pass was guarded by General Zhenxi of Dongchen Kingdom, and General Zhenxi was Zhao Chengan, the second son of Dingxihou Mansion.

The Marquis of the Dingxi Marquis Mansion and his eldest son stayed in the capital. The eldest son was the Crown Prince of the Marquis Mansion, and they were almost the emperor's hostages.

If there is a large-scale war, the Marquis will still have to go to the battlefield in person, and the Crown Prince cannot leave the capital under any circumstances.

If Yumen Pass is defended, the Zhao family will continue to be prosperous and wealthy for generations, and the crown prince will be promoted to a marquis from generation to generation. If Yumen Pass cannot be defended, the whole family will be thrown into prison.

Everyone will be prosperous, and everyone will suffer losses. Therefore, when the court has no military pay, the Zhao family members must still try every means to raise food and never starve to death of the Zhao family's army.
