Luo Xi is a big grain buyer in the county. When they saw her, the five shopkeepers felt like they were seeing a big enemy, and their smiles became eager.

Seeing her being flattered and flattered by profiteers like her ancestors, and even being served tea and water, the one-armed tiger brother struggled, and finally gritted his teeth and left.

Not oppressing and persecuting the people was his last insistence and bottom line. Even if Pei Qinhu starved to death, he could not go beyond the limit.

He turned around without noticing that Luo Xi, who was also looking at his back, had a meaningful expression.

"Old guys, aren't you afraid that money is hot when it's difficult to make a fortune for the country?" Luo Xi sat in the center of the shop like an old man.

Even if she doesn't speak nicely, the profiteer who only cares about profit still keeps a smile on her face.

Seeing her getting up to leave, the fat shopkeeper Baba asked: "Just buy this little of each kind, don't you want to buy more?"

"Yes!" Luo Xi left two meaningful words, waved her hands and left.

"..."

Outside the county government office, Luo Nannan's white dress was stained with dirt at some point. In front of a large pot surrounded by five people, she mechanically repeated the action of scooping porridge.

Also beware of trouble caused by refugees who put up with greedy freeloaders.

No, this is different from the soup kitchen scene on TV or in imagination.

In the expectation, she should be fluttering in white clothes like a fairy and show kindness to the suffering people, and the other party should be grateful and grateful, saying that she is a living Bodhisattva.

But the fact is that not only did no one praise her as a living Buddha, the red-eyed refugees were like hungry wolves, eager to eat her too.

The most difficult ones were some women who pointed their noses at her and scolded her for treating her differently, serving more porridge to men but less to women and children.

Men are naturally big eaters, shouldn't they give them more?

The woman eats less. She seldom eats staple food and is full after just two bites of vegetables. Is it wrong to serve less rice and more thin soup?

She only said a few words, and the woman lay on the ground and acted violently. She was so angry that she even pulled her up and tried to beat her. Fortunately, Shi Ye was watching over her.

Even so, the white dress doesn't look like a person after a long time.

She regretted a little. She should have called Luo Xi for such a thankless job.

"..."

At this moment, Luo Xi, whom she was thinking about, was sitting in the county office behind her.

Bai Tingyun asked the government officials to put the two people she kidnapped into a cell, and when a batch was enough, they would be collectively assigned to Dongshan to dig iron.

He opened his mouth and asked: "Are you ready? Are you ready for a business war?"

Luo Xi didn't answer but asked instead: "The imperial court's standard for resettling refugees is not based on household registration? I saw some people are more like bandits. How were they let in?"

Bai Tingyun's face darkened when he mentioned this, "It's not like the prefect deliberately let people in so as to draw chestnuts from the fire."

Luo Xi said two words sincerely: "Qianga!"

Then she talked about the problem she discovered outside the government office: "You just use white rice to cook porridge and distribute it to the victims?"

"What else?" Bai Tingyun raised his eyebrows, "I only got white rice, and I owe you a lot of favors for this."

Luo Xi couldn't help but hold her forehead when she heard this. As expected, she had never been beaten by society. She couldn't help but say:

"Have you never thought about replacing white rice with beans? One pound of rice can be exchanged for three to four pounds of beans, or even more."

"Put corn kernels, kidney beans, black beans, red beans, and peanuts together to make eight-treasure porridge. It is not only more filling than simple rice porridge, but also provides more food."

After saying that, Bai Tingyun fell silent.

Just when Luo Xi thought that her words did not save the young master's face, Bai Tingyun looked at her with a faint look and said:

"You know how to eat."

Luo Xi: "..." It has nothing to do with knowing how to eat. This is called profit maximization.

In the face of hunger, fullness is the most important thing.

Luo Xi comes from the post-apocalyptic wasteland and is a person who has truly suffered from hunger. She has the right to speak about this.

I also understand that in the eyes of these powerful people who grew up in Jinwowo, rice may be the most common food. Without putting yourself in their shoes, it is difficult to think of solutions.

Fortunately, Bai Tingyun was an official who could listen. He rubbed his forehead and said, "I didn't prepare beans."

Luo Xi stood up: "Leave it to me!"

Her current identity is a businessman. Although she is not as inhumane as those outside, she cannot achieve the selfless dedication of the Holy Mother.

"One to three, I'll give you rice in exchange for beans."

"..."

Outside the office, Luo Nannan was sweating profusely under the scorching sun. Looking at the old woman rolling on the floor, she sighed with regret for the 500th time today.

In order not to collapse and ruin her image, she had no choice but to open the system mall, use her luck coins to buy ten pots of rice soup, and add it to the large pot in front.

Rice porridge is very cheap in the mall, but she still feels sore.

The victims who came later to make porridge suddenly found that the food in the bowl was much thicker, so they stopped complaining and made no fuss.

Seeing this, Luo Nannan breathed a sigh of relief.

Little did she know that peace was only for a while. Human nature was full of desires. When you have silver, you want gold. When you eat broken rice, you want rice. You can never be satisfied.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye. Luo Xi was pulling a cart out of the back alley around the corner.

She looked happy and shouted: "Xi'er! Xi'er, are you here to help my sister with porridge?"

However, Luo Xi pretended not to hear at all and stepped forward very fast.

Seeing this, Luo Nannan rushed to catch up with Tie Lao. They are obviously siblings, and the "happiness" of serving porridge cannot be enjoyed by her alone. "Wait for me, Xi'er, wait for me."

Heavenly Father, help me, there is a big female insect chasing me behind me!

Gu Yue, who came out slowly, saw this and recognized Luo Nannan: Okay!

He rolled up his sleeves and could not see this white lotus. Only his good brother could not see the true nature of this girl hidden under the skin and had been controlled by her since childhood.

If we meet her today, let's see how I deal with her.

He ran out madly, rushed to the refugees who were queuing up to get porridge, and shouted: "Fellows, the person in charge has escaped, let's divide it up!"

The refugee with a numb expression rolled his eyes, picked up the utensils and scooped out porridge into the pot, one big bowl at a time.

Seeing this, Luo Nannan froze in place, not knowing whether to go back to protect the food or continue chasing Luo Xi.

There was even that cunning and disgusting refugee who spat into the cauldron.

Laughing crazily: "The pot is stained with my saliva, this pot of porridge belongs to me."

This behavior almost made Luo Nannan sick. Gu Yue was also disgusted, but he did not forget to provoke the crowd:

"It's this woman who left her post without authorization, causing us to lose a pot of rice. Beat her!"

Immediately after saying this, someone echoed, "Yes! It's all her fault, hit her! Let her make it up to us."

Seeing the refugees swarming towards her, Luo Nannan screamed "Ah", turned around and ran towards the Yanei. Fortunately, Shiye was carrying them in front.

When he ran in, he was uninjured except for his disheveled clothes.

However, Tokino was in a terrible situation!

Two fists were hard to beat with four hands, and he was caught and scratched by the excited refugees.

When he met Luo Nannan, his robe was torn and his eyes were blue, but the former was so distressed that he burst into tears.

Bai Tingyun heard the commotion outside the county government office and walked out quickly to figure out the whole story. He seemed disappointed and helpless:

"Miss Luo! Your abilities are much worse than those of the official ladies in the capital."

Women hate comparing themselves to another woman, especially Luo Nannan, who considers herself the chosen one. She gritted her teeth and put away her tears:

"Isn't it just to order rice? I will accompany you twice as much."

Shi Ye couldn't see his sweetheart's expression of suppressing grievance, and said solemnly with a swollen face: "I will pay you double for Nan Nan."

Baiting Cloud: Achievement +1

Luo Xi, who witnessed the whole process: "6!"
