The first thousand two hundred and thirty-five chapters are really cute
It has been eight days since the flood. People in the south of the Yangtze River are in dire straits and mourning is everywhere. If the only people who are happy are probably the grain dealers in the south of the Yangtze River, the price of grain has been soaring since the flood. As of today, in just eight days, the price of one stone of rice is
It has soared to 1330 Wen.
Although they lost more than half of their grain reserves in the flood, they not only made back their capital in just a few days, but also made a lot of money. The income in these eight days has caught up with the income in the past six months.
In Jingnan County, it was three o'clock in the morning. Shopkeeper Tai of Fengtai Grain Store folded his hands and wore a brand-new robe. He walked slowly from his house to the grain store, picking his teeth with a toothpick as he walked.
While most of the south of the Yangtze River is suffering from hunger and cold, he has been living a very comfortable life these days. He eats every day as if it’s the Chinese New Year. There’s nothing he can do about it. He’s made so much these days that he can easily slip it through his fingers.
I ordered a whole meal at will, and accidentally exceeded the limit. Chicken, duck, fish, delicacies, etc., everything I ate was like celebrating the Chinese New Year. As long as you have money, you can eat whatever you want, no matter when.
I can eat it. Today’s roast duck tastes good, but it’s a bit chewy. I’ll tell Lao Zhang later that my cooking skills need to be improved...
Everyone calls it a scourge, but I think it's quite cute, and even want to come a few more times... This is not a flood, this is clearly a source of wealth. When the flood came, I was scared to death. I'm really wise.
Don’t know Mount Tai…
"Hey, isn't this Shopkeeper Tai?"
Shopkeeper Tai was walking when he heard a greeting from behind. He stopped and turned around to see the person greeting him with fists in his hands. The person came with a round head and a big face. He was very festive, with a big belly and a grin.
He was smiling and holding his fists like a Maitreya Buddha.
He was very familiar with this person. He was the shopkeeper Lu of the Yongfeng Grain Store diagonally across from his Fengtai Grain Store. They were enemies in the same business, and they often fought openly and secretly, but they were all on good terms.
In the past few days, his Fengtai Grain Store has made a lot of money, and the same goes for Yongfeng Grain Store.
When you make more money, you will naturally feel better. Shopkeeper Tai returned the gift with a smile and a fist in his arms, and greeted him in a familiar manner, "Hahaha, shopkeeper Lu, good morning. Congratulations on getting rich."
"Hahahaha, we are happy together, we are happy together." Shopkeeper Lu squeezed his eyes, and his little eyes were almost gone as he smiled.
Hahaha, this is not the same joy, shopkeeper Tai couldn't help but laugh too.
Business has been so good recently. As long as there is food, the people in the county rush to buy it like crazy. There is no competition between the two at all, and the relationship is many times better than usual.
"Haha, Lao Tai, no, you've been gaining weight."
Shopkeeper Lu looked at Shopkeeper Tai and felt that he was a little fatter, so he couldn't help but joked with a smile.
"Haha, Lao Lu, aren't I learning from you?"
Shopkeeper Tai patted Shopkeeper Lu's Maitreya belly with his hand and said with a smile.
"Haha, when it comes to learning, I have to learn from you. I heard that you have another concubine. How did your tigress agree to it? Tell me quickly, brother, I can learn both ways..." Shopkeeper Lu's
He hooked Shopkeeper Tai's shoulders, squeezed his eyes, and said in a vulgar manner.
"Hahaha, let me tell you, the secret is very simple, and I guarantee you will benefit from it for the rest of your life..."
The two of them chatted with their arms around each other and walked slowly towards the grain store. They even called them Lao Lu and Lao Tai. They laughed from time to time along the way.
"The two of them are like brothers. Don't they usually fight very well?"
When the shopkeeper of the cloth shop on the street saw Shopkeeper Tai and Shopkeeper Lu walking over, arm in arm, as if they were wearing a pair of trousers, he couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief, as if
Seeing the sow climbing up the tree looks like the sun is rising in the west.
"Oh, if cloth is like food and the supply exceeds supply no matter how high the price is, believe it or not, you and Shopkeeper Liu can wear a pair of trousers." The shopkeeper of the grocery store next to him spat at the backs of Shopkeeper Tai and Shopkeeper Lu first.
, and then said to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper Liu he mentioned was another cloth shop on this street, not far away. The so-called colleagues were enemies, and the shopkeepers of the two cloth shops had been fighting openly and secretly, not dealing with each other.
"Bah, who can wear a pair of pants with him!" The shopkeeper of the cloth shop couldn't help but spat when he thought of that scene. He understood what the shopkeeper of the grocery store meant, and looked at Shopkeeper Tai and Shopkeeper Lu with envy and jealousy.
From behind, he complained with mixed emotions, "The price of food in this dog's day has risen too fast, and the two of them don't mind the money being hot!"
"Do you think the money is too hot?" the shopkeeper asked.
The shopkeeper of the cloth shop remained silent. Who would think that silver is hot to the touch? You can take silver from the fire.
Shopkeeper Tai and Shopkeeper Lu walked arm in arm to the street where the grain shops were located. As expected, they saw that the two grain shops were crowded with people waiting for the doors to open. The two couldn't help but smile at each other.
"Haha, I need to pick up money again. Shopkeeper Tai, please."
"Shopkeeper Lu, please."
Shopkeepers Tai and Lu hugged their fists and went to their respective grain stores with smiles on their faces.
"The shopkeeper is here, the shopkeeper is here..."
Seeing the arrival of the two men, the eager people in front of the store shouted excitedly. The two men were like two drops of water dropped into a hot oil pan, and it boiled instantly.
"Shopkeeper Tai, it's me. Do you still remember that we drank together? Today I have to give me two more kilograms of rice. Yesterday I could only buy three kilograms, which was not enough to eat."
"Uncle Tai, I weigh five pounds. My mother said you hugged me before, and she asked me to buy rice. Uncle Tai, you have to sell me some more, or my mother will not let me in if you go back."
"
"Xiao Tai, I am your third uncle. You won't do any limited sales today, right? Let me tell you, even if you give the limit to others, you can't give it to me, your third uncle."
…
The people waiting in front of Fengtai Grain Store were like sharks asking about the fishy smell. They crowded over excitedly, trying to get close to Shopkeeper Tai while trying to get the right to buy a few more kilograms of rice.
If we only look at it from the surface, Shopkeeper Tai and the others are definitely the most popular people in Jingnan. The popularity of Shopkeeper Tai and the others is, how to put it, like the traffic stars who have just got off the plane at the modern airport.
Fans lined the streets and welcomed him.
Of course, in reality, everyone who gathered around to greet Shopkeeper Tai was scolding him as a black-hearted person. The price of food was rising three times a day, and they didn't even have any shame.
"There is nothing I can do about my limited sales. The store has limited food. We are all from the countryside, and our families are short of food. If I sell to you but not to others, isn't this going to make people feel spineless? As for me, I sell in limited quantities.
Try to let everyone buy some rations. Today is the same, only 600 catties were sold in the morning, and each person can still only buy three catties."
Shopkeeper Tai came to the door amidst the crowds of people greeting him. He took out the key under everyone's fiery eyes and handed it over to the two workers who had been waiting at the door. They opened the door and he held his fists and said to everyone,
The righteous words on the face are high-sounding.
As for the actual reason, not to mention that everyone didn’t believe it, shopkeeper Tai himself didn’t believe it either.
