Capítulo 220: The End Of The Locust Plague

"Mm-hmm. It's two copper coins higher than the price they paid at the grain store," Qin Xiaoyao continued.

Wang Xiaomei was shocked once more.

The price of grain in the grain stores had already risen to 18 copper coins per catty?

Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Wang Xiaomei and could roughly guess what she was thinking.

"The grain store's price just rose. There's a high chance that it'll continue to rise. 

"If you also want to buy grain here, I can sell some to you at 20 copper coins per catty by today."

Wang Xiaomei's eyes flickered.

"I… can only pay five taels… Er, no. Five taels and four coins of silver," she quickly said.

The sum of five taels and four coins of silver was practically all of her savings at the moment.

Although Wang Xiaomei had asked Mrs. Song before, and the answer she got was that the price of grain would probably rise, she did not use up all her savings.
