"When I was four or five years old, I went out to play one time, and I ran away from Ah Xin. I didn't know where it was, so I just ran around and cried. I remember there seemed to be a dog behind me.
, the more I ran, the closer it followed. I was frightened, so I took off the jade pendant from my neck and threw it away. When it looked down, I quickly turned around and saw this store when I looked up." Su Yining said.
"So the boss here took you in?"
Su Yi Ning nodded.
"I forgot how I went back later, but I remember that he mixed a bowl of dough for me, which was very delicious!" Su Yining smacked his lips and continued: "It's a pity that I forgot about his home.
I couldn’t remember its name, and I couldn’t remember where it was, so I couldn’t find it for many years.”
"Then how did you find it again?"
"Later one time, my brother took me out to play. When I got hungry, he took me to eat. Who knew that this family happened to come! When I saw the bowl of dough, I instantly thought, wow! I finally
Found this place again!”
"So your brother has the same taste as you, right?" Zhao Ling'er asked with a smile.
Su Yi Ning nodded, with a smile on her lips.
"Look at how good your brother is with you, and he even takes you out to play!"
"Haha," Su Yi Ning said with a silly smile: "We used to fight a lot when we were kids. I wanted to play with him, but he wouldn't play with me, so I would pester him, and then he would hit me when he got impatient, and then I would follow him.
His mother complained, and then she made him stand in the open space in the yard and bask in the sun for an hour."
"Tsk tsk, do you feel sorry for your brother?"
"Hahaha, I was still young at that time, so I don't know. However," Su Yi Ning stirred the dough in the bowl a few times and said, "I miss my childhood days very much."
Mentioning Su Yixiang, Zhao Ling'er couldn't help but wonder, how is he now? Has he reached an agreement on the purchase of rice?
Su Yixiang has been feeling uncomfortable since he came to Runzhou.
Runzhou is different from Yunzhou. It has been raining for two days.
Although the rain is not heavy, it is really inconvenient to hold an umbrella everywhere.
There is also the bed in the inn. Whether it is the mattress, quilt, or even the cloth for wiping your face, everything close to your body is damp. It feels like something is stuck to the bed when you sleep at night. It is extremely uncomfortable.
He asked the waiter in the store to change two sets of bedding in succession. They were both of the same trend. It seemed that this was the case here. The good mood of going out to relax was gone.
This morning, Su Yixiang got up very late. Last night, he was tossed and turned by the moisture and couldn't sleep.
"Waiter, here's a bowl of noodles." Su Yixiang sat down somewhere casually and yawned.
After a while, the noodles came.
"Brother, if you have any garlic, please bring two cloves of garlic!" Su Yixiang ordered.
"I'm sorry, we don't have garlic here, how about I go to the street and buy it for you?" the waiter said in embarrassment.
"Brother, I have it!" A young man walked up to him, took out a few cloves of garlic from his pocket and put them on the table.
Su Yixiang was startled and looked up. This young master looked so tough!
"Brother, let's have a big bowl of tomato, egg and shredded pork noodles, and a pot of good wine!" He sat down opposite Su Yixiang, looked at Su Yixiang and asked, "I'm afraid this brother is not from the south, right?"
Su Yixiang asked while eating: "How do you know?"
The young man laughed loudly and said: "Southerners rarely eat noodles, and they rarely use garlic when eating noodles. This habit is only shared by us northerners."
Su Yixiang laughed loudly and asked, "Are you from the north too?"
The man said: "To be honest, brother, I am from Yunzhou."
"Are you from Yunzhou too?" Su Yixiang asked in surprise.
"What, this young master too?" The man was also surprised.
"Yes, I am also from Yunzhou. May I ask my brother Gao's name?" Su Yixiang was very happy to meet a fellow villager here.
"I am Lu Guangkui. What's your surname?"
"Lu Guangkui," Su Yixiang repeated, and it was indeed very similar to his temperament, so he replied: "This is Su Yixiang."
The man's face came up. He took two mouthfuls and asked Su Yixiang in a low voice: "Brother, are you here to order rice too?"
Su Yixiang was shocked and looked at him.
Lu Guangkui whispered: "I'm also here to order rice. I'm afraid that Yunzhou's food harvest will be short this year. I think this is an opportunity."
Su Yixiang was originally hesitant to tell him his purpose, but seeing that he looked carefree and didn't seem like someone who was good at scheming, he nodded lightly.
Lu Guangkui whispered: "Brother, hurry up and eat. We will go upstairs to talk in detail later. I have been here for several days and I am quite familiar with the situation here."
Su Yixiang wondered, since you are more familiar with the market than me, why are you so kind to share it with me?
But I still finished my noodles obediently and went upstairs with him.
The two of them sat at the tea table, and the man told Su Yixiang the general situation in Runzhou.
"There are three rice sales channels in Runzhou: the first one is Huizi, which is equivalent to an alliance. If we go to them, we are not afraid of not having enough food to buy, but the price is difficult to negotiate. The second one is a gangster, which is a food intermediary.
, Harvest according to proportion, official business, but it seems that we are from out of town, someone must want to blackmail us, if we want to find them, we must keep our eyes open first. The third type is Duoliantou, which consists of several Runzhou
It is an organization formed by the shopkeepers of famous large trading houses. I can talk to them directly and the price is slightly cheaper, but the purchase volume must be of a certain scale."
"Oh?" Su Yixiang had never purchased grain in large quantities before. After hearing what Lu Guangkui said, he felt that this matter was a bit complicated.
After pondering for a moment, Su Yixiang asked: "Brother Lu, what are your suggestions?"
Lu Guangkui slapped the table and said loudly: "Of course it is best to find Duoliantou. Their prices are low, and they have their own food stores. We can easily discuss whether we will refund more or make up less."
"Okay, then let's go find them to discuss it." Su Yixiang said and stood up.
Lu Guangkui stopped him and said with a frown, "But they have requirements."
"any request?"
"Purchase at least 10,000 stones or more."
"Ten thousand shi?" Su Yixiang frowned and calculated. The family can eat 200 shi a year. There are more than 40 people in total. Even if one person eats 5 shi of food a year, 10,000 shi can feed 2,000 people for a year. Yunzhou has a total of
There are more than 40,000 people. Even if half of the people buy grain and one person buys half a year's grain, a total of 50,000 dan will be needed. But I am definitely not the only one selling grain, so 10,000 dan is about the same.
Su Yixiang stood up and said: "Ten thousand stones is just ten thousand, let's go and take a look."
Saying that, he walked out.
Seeing that he didn't care about this condition, Lu Guangkui followed him with a smile and said with a smile: "Master Su, when you talk to him later, can you just say that you want to buy 15,000 shi? I will follow suit and buy 5,000 shi."
Only then did Su Yixiang understand that this was the reason why he took the initiative to tell him about the situation in Runzhou!
Su Yixiang smiled and didn't answer.
Walking into Duoliantou's guild hall, Su Yixiang explained his purpose, and after a while a middle-aged man came over.
"I heard that you two want to purchase food, right?" The man looked at Su Yixiang with a smile.
Su Yixiang cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
"How much garlic should I purchase?"
"15,000 stone."
The man said "Oh" and said in a low voice: "I see that you two have come a long way, but the purchase quantity is not large."
