"The grain was indeed bought in my shop. What's wrong?"

The villagers present looked at each other when they heard Lin Jiuyue's answer.

"Haha, Miss Lin, do you know why the village chief bought so much food?"

"The village chief's family has a lot of land, and their family can't finish the food they grow all year round. There is no need to buy so much food."

Hearing these words, Lin Jiuyue instantly understood that the village chief had not yet told him about the upcoming war in South Vietnam.

"Miss Lin, has cheap food been purchased in your shop recently? If that's the case, don't just think about the village chief and his family. We are all fellow villagers. If there is any good thing, we will also follow it. Let’s share.”

Anyone who frequents the town knows that the price of food has increased recently. It is definitely not normal for the village chief to buy so much food.

Lin Jiuyue thought for a while.

It also takes a lot of time for Qiye to send letters from the border.

Did you just learn about the war at the border today? Those wealthy families knew it before me.

This shows that the border war is already a certainty.

"It's not like I bought cheap food."

"What's the reason? Why did the village chief buy so much food?"

Lin Jiuyue looked at the villagers surrounding him. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and spoke out.

"South Vietnam may be in trouble. You should all prepare early."

Villager: ...

"What? Is there going to be trouble in South Vietnam? Miss Lin, are you kidding us all?"

"That's right! Our country in South Vietnam is doing well, so why is there so much trouble?"

Lin Jiuyue's words were like a drop of water suddenly dropped into a boiling pan of oil, causing an explosion among the surrounding villagers.

"Miss Lin, are what you said true or false? Could it be that you are deceiving us?"

Lin Jiuyue twitched his lips.

"Uncle Liu, you always run to the town, don't you feel any difference?"

Uncle Liu lowered his head and didn't say anything for a while.

Lin Jiuyue was not in a hurry and just stood there waiting for Uncle Liu's answer.

After a while, Uncle Liu finally spoke under the eager eyes of the villagers.

"Well, actually, I've long noticed that things are a little different lately than in the past."

Lin Jiuyue still didn't speak. Waiting for Uncle Liu to continue.

"Everyone who has been to the town recently should know that the prices of food in the grain stores have begun to increase. Although the increase is not much, compared with before, each type has increased by a penny."

Some villagers still don't want to believe this fact.

"Isn't it normal for food to rise and fall? After a while, maybe it will fall again?"

Uncle Liu shook his head.

"No, I feel like this price increase will not fall so easily."

The price of food has changed frequently in the past, and the villagers are used to it and think that this time the price increase will be the same as before.

"Yesterday during the market, I went to the town and saw that some wealthy families were starting to stock up on food. At that time, I thought it was because the wealthy families had more people and ate more food, so I didn't think about it. Today I saw The village chief came back after buying so much food, and then he remembered that things might not be that simple this time."

When the villagers heard what Uncle Liu said, they started talking one after another.

"Are we really going to start a war?"

"When this war breaks out, it's ordinary people like us who will suffer. It's true that the court, why can't it think more about us ordinary people?"

The pursuits of those in power are different from those of ordinary people. Ordinary people just want to live a stable life, but those in power are different.

"Shh, this is not something we should talk about. We are just ordinary people. We should be careful what we say. If someone reports us, it will be very sad if we are arrested."

Lin Jiuyue saw that the villagers had just been chatting at home in the east and west, and now they all looked sad, and felt uncomfortable.

"Miss Lin, where did you get this news? Is it accurate?"

"That's right, Miss Lin, please speak up! If your news is accurate, it would be better for all of us to make plans early, right?"

Everyone around the carriage looked at Lin Jiuyue eagerly. I hope I can get a different answer from Lin Jiuyue.

"The news came from Qiye's letter, so it should be accurate. If you have extra money at home, you'd better stock up on food first to avoid price increases later."

Shangbei Village is close to the capital. Even if there is a war, the lives of the villagers in Shangbei Village are still somewhat guaranteed.

Of course, this presupposes that the South Vietnam Kingdom has not been defeated in the capital!

"Miss Lin, are you serious?"

There were still people in the crowd who couldn't believe this and couldn't help but ask again.

"It's true, but don't worry too much. Our Shangbei Village is on the edge of the capital, so it's relatively safe."

The only bad thing is that the price of food may keep rising again and again.

"Miss Lin, I see that the village chief has bought so much grain today. You just said that the grain was bought from your grain shop. Can you sell some to us fellow villagers?"

Lin Jiuyue wanted to refuse, but when he looked up, he saw the villagers surrounding him looking at him eagerly. My heart suddenly softened.

War is a matter of the state and you cannot stop it yourself. But I can help with food matters, but I can't help much.

"That's right, Miss Lin, we have just learned that the South Vietnam Kingdom is going to be unstable. We haven't prepared anything yet. You run a grain store. You must know where to buy so much grain."

In this era, most villagers were still very simple.

"The news that South Vietnam is going to war has not been completely spread yet. There is probably some food for sale in the grain shop in the town. If you want to buy it, you can go and buy it now."

After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, he seemed to have remembered something again.

"That's right. This matter hasn't been finalized yet, so don't go around making noises. When word spreads, it will be hard to buy food."

"Miss Lin, is there still food in the shop in your town? Let's all go and stock up some."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding villagers nodded.

"Yes, Miss Lin, we are all from the same village. If there is any news, you have to tell us in time. It also allows us all to prepare as soon as possible, right?"

Lin Jiuyue smiled and said,

"There is still a lot of food in the shop, but the food is of the highest quality. I am afraid that the price may not be acceptable to everyone."

When the villagers heard this, they were silent.

For one pound of fine grain, you can buy two or three pounds of coarse grain. People like yourself? We are all farmers, how can we afford the best food?
