Shen Wan stayed in the general's mansion for a long time without leaving the mansion. It didn't snow that day, so she took Qiu Ju out of the mansion. Because Murongde was already on death row and was waiting for Qiu to be quartered, she didn't need to go out now. Zhang San followed for protection again.
Walking onto the main street, Shen Wan suddenly discovered that there were many beggars on the street, as well as people in ragged clothes with straws in their heads.
"Why are there so many beggars?" she asked, looking at Qiu Ju with a frown.
Qiu Ju said: "There has been heavy snow recently, and many places have been affected by disasters. These should be the victims who could not survive at home and fled to the imperial city!"
She heard that the disaster in the North was more serious, and some people were frozen to death! However, the imperial court had already sent an imperial envoy to prepare supplies to go to the earthquake in the North.
"It's really pitiful." Looking at these people with frostbite on their faces and hands, Shen Wan felt a little pity.
Although they escaped to the Imperial City, they had no shelter from the wind and snow, so they might not be able to survive the winter.
Qiu Ju also echoed: "Yes!"
When encountering such a snow disaster, the most pitiful people are the ordinary people who have no money and power. Suddenly, Shen Wan saw a stall selling steamed buns and steamed buns on the street. Steam was coming from the steamer. There were many people on the street. The beggars and the people who wanted to sell themselves all stared at the steamed buns in the basket and swallowed their saliva.
Shen Wan walked forward, looked at the stall owner and said, "Boss, how much silver would it cost to buy all the buns and steamed buns in your basket?"
When the boss saw the big customer coming, he quickly replied: "The steamed buns and vegetarian buns are two cents each, and the meat buns are four cents each. I have one hundred steamed buns, one hundred vegetarian buns, and one hundred meat buns each."
He prepares 300 pieces every day, but he hasn’t opened yet today!
Qiu Ju frowned and said, "The price has increased?"
In the past, the steamed buns and vegetarian buns were one penny each, and the meat buns were two cents each, but now they have doubled.
The boss said: "Yes! This year is unusual. The snow came so quickly that a lot of wheat has not been planted yet! The ground was frozen and many livestock were frozen to death. The price of this flour will have to increase! But now It’s not flour that has risen the most, but cotton, which has risen five times now.”
Hearing this, Shen Wan frowned, thinking that she should stock up on more food now. The price of food might rise even more fiercely in the coming year.
"Here is one tael of silver. I want all your buns and buns." Shen Wan gave the money to the boss.
The boss happily accepted the money, looked at Shen Wan and said, "Do you want me to deliver it to Madam's house?"
Shen Wan shook her head and said, "No need."
Then she stood in front of the stall, raised her hands like a bar, and shouted loudly: "I'm leaving the buns. If you want something to eat, line up in front of the stall."
When the beggars and disaster victims on the street heard that someone was giving away steamed buns and buns, they hurriedly got up and rushed over, swarming them without lining up, as they were trying to grab them!
Seeing that something was wrong, Shen Wan hurriedly blocked the stall and shouted: "Get in line. If you don't get in line, you won't be given."
They rushed forward to grab it, which not only easily caused a stampede, but also made weaker people unable to get a share.
"Go away!" How could these hungry people listen to Shen Wan's words?
There were a few men who were rushing ahead and had some strength, their eyes were glowing green, and they stretched out their hands to push her.
"Pa..." A whip fell from the sky and hit the hands of the men who stretched out their hands.
Shen Wan turned around and saw the young prince wearing a bear fur cloak and riding a horse, with several bodyguards following behind him.
I saw him sternly saying: "Can't you understand people? If you want to eat steamed buns, just queue up."
Xuanyuan Liuyun's body exuded an aura of innate domineering power. Suppressed by his aura and the whip in his hand, everyone lined up consciously on a first-come, first-served basis.
