"You mean, there might be a war soon?" Wu asked in surprise.
Shen Qingqian nodded, "The general will not make mistakes without aim. You know the skills of Cheng Sange and the others. Since they are sent out and it takes such a long time, it will not be a small matter."
Wu frowned and thought for a while, looked at Shen Qingqian and asked, "If this is really the case, should I tell everyone?"
She had another worry that she didn't mention. If it was just an ordinary war, it would be fine. But if the war didn't go well or there were other accidents, then the young and strong men among them would be the first to be sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder. of.
Shen Qingqian nodded, "I'm sure I'll say it, but I can only warn the heads of each family privately, because I'm just guessing."
If there is something going on, I won't talk about it. If there is no war, I might still complain.
"That's right. I'll talk to your elder brother later and ask him to give everyone a heads up." Wu nodded.
As for whether others believe it or not, that is none of their business.
Shen Qingqian continued: "We must prepare early and buy what we need as soon as possible, otherwise prices may skyrocket in the future."
In fact, the main thing is to stock up on food. It's okay to make do with other things, but starvation is absolutely unacceptable.
Alas, it would be nice if she had more accelerating fertilizer, and it's not impossible to secretly stock up on food for emergencies.
It's a pity that there are only a few bags left, and it's not that far yet.
"Well, let's see what other people say first. If we can go together, we can go together." Wu said.
They are a group of people who live together now. Without special reasons, Wu can take care of things like this.
Shen Qingqian nodded, "It's okay, if a few more people go there then, we can get more things when we come back."
After they made an agreement, Shen Xiao went to talk one by one in the evening.
Surprisingly, no one didn't believe it.
However, things did not go as Shen Qingqian and Wu thought, with each family privately pooling money to stock up on food. Instead, they all asked Shen Xiao to keep good accounts and settle the accounts together.
"We were originally on the same boat, and my family could probably spare more than a dozen taels of silver. Originally, I wanted to wait for the house to be built to add some necessary things to the family. Now the situation is different, so I will put it out first for everyone's emergency." Chen The old lady said frankly.
Although Old Mrs. Liu felt sorry for Qianzi, thinking of the current situation, she still had the courage to follow, "Our family is the same."
"Young Master, we have no money. Can the extra expenses be considered as something we borrowed from everyone?" Jiang Goudan looked at Shen Xiao uneasily and asked.
"Okay." This was what Wu had agreed to before, so Shen Xiao nodded simply.
Jiang Goudan was moved to tears and thanked him repeatedly.
After the matter was settled, the Wu family selected ten people the next day and asked Shen Qingqian to follow them into the city to buy things.
Shen Xiao led the team into the city this time, and Shen Qingqian's task was to bargain.
"Sixth sister, you have been to the city a few times, and you are quite familiar with the grain shops and grain prices in the city. I will see what happens to you soon." Shen Xiao said with a smile, which was a bit joking.
Shen Qingqian smiled confidently, "Brother will look at me soon."
She has bought twice before, and she is quite familiar with the situation of those grain stores. They bought a lot this time, so there must be room for bargaining.
The group set out early and were the first people to enter the city.
At this time, the morning light is at its best in Hubei City, and many shops are not open yet.
"Brother, let's go to Yunzhongxian Restaurant first?" Shen Qingqian glanced around and turned to Shen Xiao.
Shen Xiao was puzzled, "Why go to the restaurant?"
