The residents of Stone Town were not poor and had long achieved moderate prosperity, making the people of Anping Village look somewhat out of place and even eye-catching.
Fortunately, they didn't have much money and weren't likely to be swindled, just subjected to some disdain and discrimination.
While the women were shopping, the men were buying soybeans at the grain market. Given their large purchase volume, the owner specially arranged a rickshaw for transporting their goods.
After a few days, the grain shop owner's rickshaw was significantly worn out, but at the same time, he had gained substantial profits.
The villagers who had bought soybeans and sauce vats first had started making soybean paste, but some who were slow to respond or overly cautious had yet to purchase soybeans.
When these people checked the soybean prices and came to Stone Town to buy soybeans, they were surprised to find that the prices had risen.
