Infinite Doomsday: I rely on space to stock up and bully the scum

Chapter 128 Entering the City

"By the way, Madam Jiang, let me remind you that if you need anything, you can buy it first before going into the city. Prices in the city are not cheap right now."

According to what Butler Zhou knew, many families were thinking of going out of town to buy some necessities for life.

It would be more cost-effective if it was exchanged for food.

Unfortunately, the prefect has issued a ban that residents in the city can only leave the city once a week, and they must hold a pass issued by the government with a seal.

Nowadays, this piece of thin paper has been sold for ten cents a piece in the black market. Many people sell the pass they receive every week to make a profit.

Jiang Jiang was very grateful to Butler Zhou. She took out a small piece of brown sugar wrapped in cloth from her bosom and handed it to Butler Zhou.

When it comes to giving money, too little is not good, and too much is not in line with your status. Giving food is the only way to go.

Butler Zhou lifted a corner and saw a piece of brown sugar the size of an adult's fist inside, which made him smile with joy. He kept saying, "Mrs. Jiang, thank you for your money, thank you for your money."

Then, Butler Zhou started talking about which places in the city were the residences of dignitaries and that people should not go there randomly, and which places were suitable for renting a house and settling down.

This piece of brown sugar is worth it!

When she got home, her family was waiting for her to have dinner.

"Mom, look, my elder brother and second brother took us to the porridge stand to queue up and get some porridge."

Li Cuicui showed the porridge in the pot to Jiang Jiang as if she was presenting a treasure.

Vaguely visible rice grains sank to the bottom of the pot, with slightly yellowish rice soup on top.

What's wrong?

Jiang Jiang stirred the bottom of the pot with a spoon, bringing up a layer of muddy stuff.

"Why is there dirt mixed in this porridge?"

Li Xu scratched his head. This question also puzzled him. Why add some soil into the porridge? Isn't it like eating a mouthful of dirt?

No matter how severe the water shortage is, it shouldn't be like this.

I heard Li Sheng explain that this was a rule implemented in Jiangzhou since last month. The daily porridge is made with soil. Those who are willing to eat it can line up to get it, and those who don't want to eat it will not be forced.

Jiang Jiang suddenly thought that he seemed to have read a historical story before.

During the disaster years, some people pretended to be refugees to receive relief porridge from the government, causing the real refugees to have no food to eat. Later, someone suggested mixing mud and sand into the porridge. In this way, the people could not eat the porridge mixed with mud and sand, and the refugees who were really starving to death did not care whether it tasted good or not and ate it.

It seems that Jiangzhou is so prosperous and stable because it has many capable people.

Apart from anything else, most of the people in Daxi Village went to receive relief porridge. Some families found it difficult to swallow, which showed that they had plenty of food stored at home and had not treated themselves badly along the way. However, those who had run out of food and had long since started looking for all kinds of wild grass to fill their stomachs went for the porridge voraciously, finishing a bowl of porridge in no time.

Jiang Jiang's family was the former. After the children drank two mouthfuls of porridge, they silently put down their bowls and looked at each other. Only Li Ping'an lowered his head and slurped the porridge.

How could Huang Ying and Sun Qiaoqiao not understand their children's personalities? They poured all the porridge in their bowls into their own bowls.

Li Cuicui also silently moved her bowl away and pulled Jiang Jiang's arm.

"Mom~~~."

"Okay, okay, I'm in a good mood today, and I happen to have some white flour at home, so I'll make the oil-splashed noodles you've been dreaming of."

Having said that, Jiang Jiang added another sentence.

"One bowl per person."

Jiang Jiang was not the only one who chose to give special treatment. Many people did the same, but they were not very noticeable.

However, when the hot oil was poured on the noodles with chili powder and minced ginger, the sizzling sound and the overbearing aroma attracted the attention of people around.

"Shualiu~, let me tell you something. For the convenience of the children's studies, shualiu~, we will move to Jiangzhou City."

Jiang Jiang spoke as he slurped the noodles.

"Mom, then why don't we go to Weishan County with the village chief and Aunt Chunhua and others?" Huang Ying asked.

"Butler Zhou said that Master Zhou and Madam Zhou are helping us find suitable private tutors for the children. It just so happens that we still have some savings at home. Let's find a place to live in the city and see if we can start a small business."

Jiang Jiang expressed his plan.

The others knew that the family had money, but they were not sure how much.

Living in Jiangzhou is not easy.

But thinking of their children's future, Li Xu and Li Sheng gritted their teeth and gave it a try!

If they really can't do it, they can find more jobs and always be able to support the whole family.

"By the way, after dinner, Cuicui, come with me to the market to buy some things we will need. Steward Zhou said that things outside the city are much cheaper than those in the city, so we should save as much as possible."

Li Cuicui nodded quickly. She had just eaten some delicious oil-splashed noodles and was now full of energy.

In the afternoon, Jiang Jiang returned to the market and bought some daily necessities.

"Want to run? Where are you going! Stay still!" Ren Yazi waved a whip and lashed a thin man. The sound of cracking flesh made many passers-by turn their heads away.

The man groaned, then clenched his teeth, not even saying a word to beg for mercy.

Seeing this, Ren Yazi became even angrier and whipped the man left and right without knowing how hard he was beating him. The man's whole body was covered with wounds, without a single piece of healthy flesh left.

By the time the man, panting and sitting aside to rest, looked like he was dying.

After a while, Ren Yazi kicked the man on the ground twice, but he didn't move. Ren Yazi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the man was dead?

He put his finger on the tip of the man's nose and found that there was really no breath.

"Fuck, I'm so unlucky. I missed another order. Come, that guy, you, and you, throw him out." The trafficker pointed at two people to act as laborers.

Human life is worthless. Jiang Jiang and Li Cuicui were standing next to the man just now. When he was beaten, Li Cuicui screamed in fear and quickly hid behind Jiang Jiang.

Seeing a living life dying in front of her, Li Cuicui was a little depressed. Jiang Jiang tried to comfort her with a few words, but it didn't help.

After returning home, Li Cuicui lowered her head and searched for her waist bag, only to find that it had been lost at some point.

There were a few coins, a hair flower, and a small knife in it.

It's not a valuable thing.

On the second day, after paying a sufficient amount of insect-infested rice, Jiang Jiang's family bid farewell to the people in Daxi Village and entered Jiangzhou smoothly.

Inside the city and outside the city seem like two different worlds.
