Chapter 380: Just a token of my appreciation

"The Baijiabao caravan has always been more informed than others. This is most likely true."

When people heard about it, they started to panic.

Disease and epidemic.

Once the disease spreads on a large scale, the death and injury will be incalculable, and many people have begun to want to flee Junji Town.

But most people are just waiting and watching. It’s not that they are not afraid of death, but they are reluctant to give up the family business they have built in Junji Town.

A more important reason was that they discovered that the Baijiabao caravan chose to guard various intersections in Junji Town and showed no signs of withdrawing.

Since the Baijiabao caravan, which is a wealthy family, has no plans to leave, it seems there is no need for them to run away.

Merchants who had previously been happy to sell more things immediately closed their stores after receiving the news.

After they closed the shop, they cursed in their hearts, saying that the Baijiabao caravan were really dogs for closing the shop on their own without telling anyone.

But soon, some grain and oil stores quietly opened again after being closed for two days. At the same time, these grain and oil stores began to sell grain in limited quantities at high prices.

Since grain can be brought in but not taken out, there is no way to transport it, so the price of grain will naturally be high.

But they had only been selling for two or three days when they soon saw three grain and oil stores under the Baijiabao caravan open their doors.

Signs were put up in front of the three grain and oil stores of the Baijiabao caravan, which read: Diseases are ruthless, but people are kind. The price of grain and oil will increase by two cents per catty.

The price per pound increased by two cents? !
After confirming that it was correct, people were stunned for a moment, feeling both amused and grateful. After all, other stores had increased the price by more than ten or twenty cents per pound.

Moreover, if the grain and oil stores of the Baijiabao caravan had not opened in time, the prices of those stores would probably have continued to rise.

Soon after, the grocery store under the Baijiabao caravan also opened for business, and still did not raise prices much, only increasing the price by two or three cents.

The common people were grateful for the Baijiabao caravan's action, but the shop owners who were planning to make a good profit were dissatisfied.

In such a situation, the Baijiabao Caravan actually wanted to destroy everyone's jobs and be good people? !

Okay, you, the Baijiabao Caravan, want to be good people, right? If you have the ability, just keep selling at this price.

We want to see how much food your Baijiabao caravan has in stock.

These shop owners secretly sent people to the grain and oil store under the Baijiabao caravan to buy food.

They planned to wait until the Baijiabao caravan ran out of food, then sell the stockpiled food at a higher price and make a profit.

How could such a trick be hidden from the people of Taohua Village?

"Auntie, what do you think? Should we teach them a lesson?" Bai Dashan asked.

Bai Shanquan was also angry and said, "Auntie, these people are going too far. They are clearly taking advantage of our Baijiabao caravan."

At a time like this, instead of thinking about overcoming the difficulties together, he only thinks about getting rich. It is not an exaggeration to kill him.

Bai Tao waved her chubby little hands nonchalantly and said cutely, "Let them be."

"Auntie, are we just going to let them do nothing like this?" Bai Dashan was a little unwilling.

"No need." Bai Tao: "Just pretend you don't know and let them buy it."

She has a mall, so she doesn't have to worry about not being able to buy food.

Bai Tao already makes one-third of the profit from the usual grain sales price. Now the price is increased by two cents per pound, so this part is pure profit.

Bai Shanquan was puzzled: "Auntie, are you just going to let them do this?" He really couldn't swallow this.

"Yeah." Bai Tao nodded: "There's no need to limit the quantity for them, but we can't let them know all at once." If these people knew, they wouldn't be so foolish as to hoard food.

They want to stockpile food to make a fortune from the disaster. Ha, it would be strange if she didn't make them lose half of their fortune.

Grain is divided into new grain and old grain. The price of old grain is naturally lower than that of new grain.

The food these people are hoarding now is new food, but Baitao is not short of food, so there will be no opportunity for them to hoard food and sell it at a higher price.

At that time, they either have to sell it at the original price or turn the new grain into stale grain.

But once the new grain becomes stale grain, it has to be sold at a lower price, which will result in the same loss in the end.

After hearing her say this, Bai Dashan and Bai Shanquan immediately understood what was going on.

Bai Dashan changed his indignant expression and grinned: "Auntie, then I understand."

Bai Shanquan also laughed: "Auntie, you are really smart. Let these people suffer this time."

It's bad enough that they don't contribute manpower or money to disease prevention and control, but they are also not behaving themselves in the rear and are trying to profit from the disaster. They deserve to lose money when the time comes.

"Auntie, in the past few days, some merchants and common people have come here voluntarily and want to join us in guarding Junji Town. Should we accept them?"

Bai Tao said without thinking, "Give them a good training and then arrange for them to participate in the prevention and treatment of diseases and epidemics."

Although we have recruited some people from the mines and there are enough personnel for the time being, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have more people just in case.

"By the way, quietly record these people, especially the merchants. If there is any suitable business in the future, you can give them priority to cooperate with them."

"As for ordinary people, we will give them some money and rice after the epidemic is over, and if there are job opportunities, they will be given priority."

Bai Dashan: "Yes, aunt."

At this time, these merchants and people did not know that they had obtained the good guy cards of the Baijiabao caravan.

When they got the benefits later, they were surprised, but also extremely excited and praised the Baijiabao caravan for its benevolence.

Of course, this is a follow-up.

The disease came with such force that within a few days, the people fleeing the disease were brought to Junji Town, and of course, to other places as well.

However, without exception, these people were sternly warned before they even entered Junji Town.

"People in front, stop. Where are you from?"

The people who were walking on the road with their heads down were stunned for a moment when they heard the loud sound. They couldn't help but look up and look around. Where did the sound come from?
"I'm asking you questions. Where did they come from?"

Before they could answer, another voice was heard asking, "No matter where you are from, Junji Town is strictly prohibited from entering. You should leave quickly."

News gradually came from other intersections that many of the people fleeing had high fevers.

This is the official road, and the number of people coming here will only increase, not decrease. Therefore, Bai Dayong and others who are responsible for this intersection dare not relax at all.

go?
It is said that Junji Town is rich. They have finally escaped here, so why would they leave?

Just as these people were concentrating on moving forward, they saw a row of arrows piercing the ground one or two meters in front of them, leaving only the arrow feathers trembling slightly.

The loudspeakers installed on both sides of the road sounded again: "I say again, no matter where you come from, you can only leave Junji Town now, but not enter!"

Bai Dayong held the walkie-talkie, frowned, and continued in a stern voice: "If anyone dares to take another step forward, these arrows will not shoot at the ground next time!"

Update sent, little cuties, good night~~
