The Shit Carrier Village Girl

Chapter 66 *Humilatory*

Lin Yuelan immediately went shopping with about 500 taels of silver in her hands.

The first thing Lin Yuelan wanted to buy was definitely her food.

During the Apocalypse, your family will stab you for a piece of bread. Rice became as valuable as gold used to be.

Other than the high-ranking leaders of some bases, ordinary people could not even smell the scent of rice, let alone eat it.

Lin Yuelan was a southerner. He grew up eating rice.

However, in the five years of the apocalypse, how many times he could eat rice was very little.

This was because he had to hand over the grain he had obtained from almost every mission. The wheat he gave, he gave to those two bastards. As for himself, he continued to eat the slightly moldy bread. Whenever there was an addition, he had to secretly cook and eat it in his space.

In the apocalypse, many people's sense of smell becomes more sensitive than that of dogs. Therefore, after every meal of rice, he had to wash his mouth a lot. Otherwise, he might be a target.

Thinking back, Lin Yuelan felt extremely stupid. He had done everything for the two rascals, but in the end, they joined hands to betray him.

However, he would not persecute himself anymore. He will eat well, dress well, and treat himself well.

Lin Yuelan walked over to the grain store and looked at the white rice. He swallowed his saliva. He wanted to eat rice.

“Store guard, how much is this rice price?” Lin Yuelan pointed towards the rice grains and asked.

A fat man in his thirties walked out and looked at Lin Yuelan. He's skinny and shabby. It's obvious that he's poor, and he wants to eat rice? What joke!

A disdainful expression immediately appeared on his face. He looked at Lin Yuelan arrogantly and disgustedly and said, “Shoo. You can't afford it. Poor people are not worth eating rice.”

When Lin Yuelan saw this man's disdainful gaze, a cold smile immediately appeared on her little face. His childish voice carried a firm tone as he asked, “Bos, how can you say that I am poor? Also, why can't the poor buy rice? Do you look down on all the poor? But Boss, did you know that this Ning An City has a poverty rate of over 90 percent? ”

Lin Yuelan said this out loud to attract the attention of passers-by.

Sure enough, a woman wearing a patched dress said loudly, “Chen shopkeeper, I was wondering why the rice I bought from you yesterday felt so light. You have given me less because you look down on me!

A man came out and said, “I've bought smoky japonica from you, but why does it taste so strange? Shopkeeper Chen, did you exchange it for indica rice and sell it to me at the price of japonica fumes?

Although japonica and indica rice are rice, the flavors of both are different!

In general, indica rice is long and narrow, and it tastes rough and not very tasty. On the other hand, japonica rice is sticky, short, and round. It's very fragrant.

When the boss heard the complaint, his face immediately darkened.

He said firmly, “Who said I gave you less than usual? Why don't you take it back so we can weigh it?” He did give the woman less because he was poor, but he knew that his family would eat up the price, and this was an argument he could win.

The shopkeeper turned to look at the poor man. He also said with a bad expression, “How is it my fault that you can't tell the difference between rice indica and rice japonica? Plus, you've eaten rice! Now only you decide to go back to complaining? Do you think I'm so easily fooled?

“The poor will always be poor. Even about the rice, you guys want to blackmail me. You didn't even buy that much from me! ”

The faces of the people turned green with anger.

“One stop. I'll go to another rice store!”

“We frequented his shop, but he still looked down on us. We are poor, but we are not without a backbone!”

“One stop. We will not come here to buy rice again!”

The people around him said loudly.

It was only then that shopkeeper Chen realized the seriousness of the situation.

Although he looked down on the poor, his efforts were supported by these poor people. After all, as Lin Yuelan had said, there were only so many rich people in the city. If all these people boycotted his shop, he wouldn't be able to do business anymore.

Shopkeeper Chen became angry and scolded Lin Yuelan, the main cause of this incident, “You Naughty Child, why are you trying to sow discord here? When do I look down on the poor?”

Lin Yuelan curled her lips and said to Shopkeeper Chen innocently and sadly, “Chen Shopkeeper, didn't you just say, Shoo. You can't afford it. Poor people don't deserve to eat rice. Did you forget it so quickly?”

Shopkeeper Chen pointed to Lin Yuelan and roared, “That's just my assessment of you alone. Looking at your shabby clothes and your pale and emaciated face, how could you have the money to buy rice? Am I wrong?”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, someone burst into laughter.

Shopkeeper Chen looked up and saw that it was the eldest son of City Official Liu.

He immediately cupped his hands and said with a flattered smile, “Young oldest master Liu, are you here to buy rice as well?”

Eldest Young Master Liu was a 16-year-old young man. Maybe it was because he was well cared for, his skin was white, his face was white, his face was round, and his eyes were big. When she smiled, she looked so cute.

Young Master Liu said to shopkeeper Chen with a smile, “Chen shopkeeper, I am not here to buy rice. I just followed this little girl. Shopkeeper Chen, I'm afraid you don't know this. This boy sold a big tiger this morning and received 380 taels of silver. So, he was definitely not a poor person!”

Shopkeeper Chen felt like he had been struck by lightning!

However, he was a businessman and had thick skin. He immediately went to Lin Yuelan and apologized, “Nona, I just went blind. Please understand and forgive me for my carelessness!”

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, “Customer Chen, I'm just a little kid. I don't know what you're talking about.” Then, his tone changed, “After all, this is a free market. Since shopkeeper Chen does not welcome poor people like me, I will look for a place that welcomes me!”

Then, with the crowd staring stiffly and Shopkeeper Chen staring angrily, Lin Yuelan went to the shop opposite the Chen wheat shop, Yun Xiang wheat shop.

To make Shopkeeper Chen even more furious, the poor boy, in his eyes, bought over ten grains of rice stones from the Yun Xiang grain store. In this era, one stone was equivalent to 53 kilograms in modern times. Therefore, Lin Yuelan had bought ten stones, which was equivalent to buying over 1,000 catties.

This was the sales volume of Shopkeeper Chen for half a year.

However, Shopkeeper Chen did not think about his actions. Instead, he hated Lin Yuelan.

In the future, when Lin Yuelan had her own shop, she would give him a lot of trouble.

But that's a story for another time.
