In Luojiang County, no matter how business declined, there were always two places that were guaranteed to have people, and never lacked for customers.
One was the sundry shop that sold salt; the other was this grain shop.
When Bai Shanbao and his companions arrived, there were only three other customers in the grain shop, but the shop assistant only lifted an eyelid to glance at them before asking, "What would you like to purchase?"
Bai Shanbao said, "We'll just have a look."
The shop assistant nodded, "Feel free to look around, and ask me for the prices once you've decided."
While they were speaking, a customer beside them asked, "Why is the rice still fifty wen per dou? I saw that the wheat in the fields outside has already been harvested."
