The torrential rain poured continuously for half a month. In the first few days, the people just complained a little, thinking the rain lasted too long and made it inconvenient to go out. By the tenth day, grain prices rose, and anxiety began to appear on people's faces. During the half-month-long heavy rain, they could no longer stay calm. With such terrible weather, there were no customers at all, and all the shops had to close.
With the shops closed, the workers had no choice but to return to their homes. The once-bustling streets became desolate, and every household shut their doors tightly.
As things went on like this, grain prices grew increasingly higher, accompanied by a rise in other daily necessities. Apart from grain, the most exaggerated price increases were for charcoal and firewood.
