Chapter 597 Insight

"Okay, happy." Cui Rong said, "I will arrange for the accountant to count the grain now, and then I will send someone to pull the grain and give you the money at the same time."

"Okay, the sooner the better. I'm going back first."

Shopkeeper Zhao immediately stopped the shopkeeper who was about to leave and said, "Shopkeeper Yu, isn't this good?"

Shopkeeper Yu said: "There's nothing wrong with it, as long as I feel good about it."

The expressions of the other two shopkeepers became gloomy. This was simply breaking the rules, because it had never happened before.

Cui Rong said: "Shopkeeper Zhao, everyone is seeking to make a fortune. In the past, when the price of food increased, everyone said it would go up without hesitation. Now you don't dare to increase it. We will buy your food and raise it ourselves. What, you just do it now?"

Hesitated?

Or do you want to be a good person because you made a fortune in the stock market? Let me tell you, if you want to be a good person, don’t think about getting rich, and if you get rich, don’t think about being a good person.”

"Okay, let's sell it." The other two shopkeepers also said.

"Okay, you go back and make arrangements, we will send someone over right away." Cui Rong said.

Shopkeeper Yu and the other three nodded and left the Zhuangyuan Building.

Cui Rong said: "Shopkeeper Zhao, you are the only one left. What do you say?"

Shopkeeper Zhao sneered: "Shopkeeper Cui, what will be the consequences if I don't sell?"

Cui Rong said: "I'm afraid this is the last time shopkeeper Zhao will sell grain. He may not be able to collect grain in the future."

"Really? I don't believe it."

"If you don't believe it, just give it a try," Cui Rong said.

Shopkeeper Lu said: "The five surnames and Qi Wang will prevent you from buying food."

"Really? The thing I'm not afraid of most is being threatened. I won't sell to you. What can you do to me?" Shopkeeper Zhao flicked his sleeves and left.

Cui Rong's face became very gloomy, and he said: "Damn it, you don't give us the five surnames and seven respects, so don't blame us."

"Cui Rong, you came up with this plan, but I'm not very satisfied with the result. What can you do to solve it?" Lu Zishan asked.

"Yes, I'm also very dissatisfied." Zheng Youlai said.

Wang Sixi nodded and said: "Now it is impossible for our three families to buy the grain of Shopkeeper Yu and his three families, unless you buy the grain of the Zhao family first."

"No, we have made an agreement before and we cannot change our minds just because of a small thing." Cui Rong said.

"It's a small matter, you said it's a small matter, okay, you can come to me after you take care of this small matter." Wang Sishi said, then stood up and left the No. 1 Scholar Building.

Lu Zishan and Zheng Youlai also stood up.

Zheng Youlai spoke first: "Cui Rong, don't think that you are from the Cui family of Qinghe. We are afraid of you. Let me tell you, if the aristocratic family's voice was not getting smaller and smaller, it would be impossible for the four of us to cooperate."

Lu Zishan also said: "Shopkeeper Zheng, there are some things that don't need to be said in detail, everyone understands in their hearts.

Cui Rong, we are waiting for your good news and say goodbye."

After everyone left, Cui Rong slammed the table angrily.

He said with a gloomy face: "Zhao, since you don't want to make money even if you have money, then you don't want to make money anymore. Hahaha..."

After Cui Rong left, the shopkeeper of Zhuangyuanlou sighed: "With this locust plague, the price of food has started to rise again."

The waiter in the shop asked in confusion: "Shopkeeper, please don't talk nonsense. The newspaper said that the imperial court has filled the Changping warehouse with grain, and there is no way the price will increase."

The shopkeeper said: "You know what the heck, the eight people just now are the largest grain merchants in Chang'an. As long as the eight of them raise the price of grain, those small grain merchants will also follow suit and increase the price.

You can tell from the faces of these eight people that they have not reached an agreement, so there is still room for maneuver, but once they cooperate, the food supply will have to increase."

"In this case, let's go buy more grain and store it. We are a restaurant and we use grain quickly, so you are not afraid of government registration at all." The waiter said, he also knew that you need to register to buy grain now.

"Stupid, of course I have to tell the young master about this."

"Look at my brain, I should call the young master, the shopkeeper, I will feel the young master now." The waiter said.

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes at the waiter and said, "Do you know where the young master is?"

The waiter scratched his temples and said, "I really don't know."

The shopkeeper immediately wrote down what he guessed on a piece of paper, and then handed it to the waiter: "Go to the tavern to find Han Wu. He will find a way to find the young master."

"yes."

The waiter took the shopkeeper's letter and quickly left the Zhuangyuan Building.

"This kid." The shopkeeper looked at the waiter's speed when he left and couldn't help but shook his head.

Han Wu was doing the final finishing work with Zhao Shuixian at this time. The construction of the tavern took several months. It was not needed originally, but Li Feng had some requirements, so it was two months late.

The waiter turned out to be from the restaurant, and he came to the restaurant with familiarity.

"Brother Han, Fifth Brother Han..." When the waiter arrived at the tavern, he started shouting, fearing that others might not hear him.

Zhao Shuixian and Han Wu both heard the waiter's call.

"It seems like Huzi is calling you, let's go and take a look." Zhao Shuixian said.

Han Wu nodded and said, "I heard it too."

After the two of them went downstairs, they saw the waiter.

"Huzi, why are you here?" Zhao Shuixian asked.

The waiter, Hu Zi, said: "Sister Narcissus, I have something important to ask Brother Han."

Han Wu asked: "What important thing?"

Huzi immediately told what the shopkeeper said, and then gave the letter to Han Wu.

"Brother Han, please be sure to find the young master, otherwise Chang'an may be in chaos and many people will be hungry," Li Feng said.

Han Wu nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely find the young master. But I need to investigate before going to find the young master. I can't just rely on the shopkeeper's words."

"Brother Han Wu is still capable and thought of the evidence directly." Huzi said with a smile.

Han Wu smiled and said: "Okay, you can go back first. The situation is true, and I will record your merits when the time comes."

"Thank you Brother Han Wu, I'll leave first." Huzi left the restaurant.

Han Wudao: "Narcissus, it seems you have to be responsible here alone."

Zhao Shuixian smiled softly and said, "I can help with this matter."

"How can you help?" Han Wu asked.

He knew that Zhao Shuixian was a slave and was fortunate enough to be bought by Li Feng, so he became free.

It doesn't matter how prominent her family was before she became a slave. After becoming a slave, there is no relationship anymore, and who will care about slaves.

As a slave, Han Wu knew this best.

Zhao Shuixian smiled mysteriously and said: "Actually, I have an elder brother who is a grain merchant and one of the largest grain merchants in Chang'an. If this matter is true, my brother will definitely be involved."
