Boss Yuan waved his hand lightly, "I heard that the girl is the Queen's wife, may I ask..." Feng Jiuer untied the token and handed it out.
Yuan took the token, looked at it carefully for a while, and sent it back with both hands.
"I'm sorry."
"fine."
Feng Jiuer took the token and put it back on her waist.
"I heard that officials of all sizes in Xixi City are quite... greedy, right?"
"Um."
Yuan did not hide it and nodded lightly.
"What does the girl want to know about the store?
Whatever I know, I must tell you everything."
"It's nothing, I just came because the queen gave me an order."
Feng Jiuer picked up the tea cup.
"Boss Yuan, did you go to the city lord's house today?"
"Um."
Yuan nodded lightly and said, "I just went there."
"When the notice was issued that the city gate was sealed, I was originally in the store in Ande Town."
"There are relatively frequent exchanges between our cities. Once the city gates are closed, the impact will be quite big."
"Right."
Yuan looked at Feng Jiuer and said, "I heard that you are planning to leave the city. Where are you going?"
"The next step is to go to Luoyang City."
Feng Jiuer raised the cup and took a sip of tea.
She put down the cup and raised her eyes: "My plan is to go southeast first, then southwest."
"The Queen has no request. My brother and I have this plan for the time being."
"Right."
Feng Jiuer pursed her lips and leaned forward, "The Queen has returned to Fengxi Country, have you received the news?"
"I don't know where she is now?
I haven’t received any news yet.”
"Um."
Yuan nodded lightly, "I also received news that the Queen has returned to China, but I don't know where she is now."
Feng Jiuer pursed her lips and picked up the tea cup again.
She just wanted people to know that she and the queen were really close, so she chatted with her for a few words.
"Boss Yuan, what did the city lord say? Can I open the back door for you?"
"Open the back door?"
Yuan frowned.
"What she means is whether the city lord will open the city gate to Fenglan Inn."
Qiao Mu explained.
"Um."
Feng Jiuer nodded and tasted the tea.
"For outsiders like us, it should be difficult to go out of town now, so I can only trouble you."
"If the city gate doesn't open for a while, I don't know when I can complete the task. The Queen is waiting for my reply."
"When the Queen comes back, I will stroll around in my normal state. That would be so embarrassing."
"I have negotiated with the city lord, and I really can't leave for the time being."
Yuan responded.
Feng Jiuer frowned, with a look of regret on his face.
"What should we do?
I can’t stay here all the time just eating and drinking, right?”
Yuan raised his lips slightly and said, "Eating and drinking is not a problem."
"You are the Queen's close relative and our master. You can make the final decision on everything in the store."
"Can everyone really make the decision?"
Feng Jiuer blinked her eyebrows.
"certainly."
Yuan nodded and responded.
Feng Jiuer pursed her lips and said, "How many stores do we have in Xixi City?"
"Nine in total."
Yuan responded.
"What's the annual profit?"
Feng Jiuer raised her crescent eyebrows slightly.
Yuan seemed to have known that Feng Jiuer would ask this question, so he took out a piece of paper from his waist and handed it out.
"Girl, this is the income of several of our stores in Xixi City in the past few years, and the details for the past six months are also attached."
Feng Jiuer took the paper unceremoniously and put it on the table.
Qiao Mu also leaned his head over.
“The benefits are quite generous.”
After a while, Qiao Mu couldn't help but sigh.
"Fenglan Inn has been in the Feng Clan for almost thirty years. It was the shop that the Queen Empress started running after she married into the Feng Clan."
Yuan said.
"For thirty years, stores have opened from the capital to every city in the Feng Clan. It can be said that no one in the Feng Clan north of Songjiang knows Fenglan Inn."
"We have always relied on the belief that we should treat others with courtesy, be courteous, and be clear about the price. Among the Feng people, this can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."
"So, business has been relatively stable."
"Isn't this more than stable?"
Qiao Mu shook his head, "The rich man in the inn!"
“It’s really good!”
Feng Jiuer looked at the data above, her eyes glowing.
If her pharmacy can reach this scale, she will definitely be happy! After fantasizing, Feng Jiuer took a deep breath and raised her eyes to look at Yuan.
"Boss Yuan, I have some suggestions."
"You said it!"
Yuan waved his hand and said.
"I saw a lot of poor people today who will be severely affected by the lockdown. I want to ask if we can do anything to help?"
Feng Jiuer said.
"Some of them brought handicrafts, some brought herbs, some brought two chickens or eggs, and they all said they wanted to go out of the city to exchange money."
"I can't change the money. It's hard to even lift the pot at home today."
"That will happen."
Yuan Mou nodded slightly.
"To be honest, the corruption situation in Xixi City may be more serious than what the girl has seen."
"Our Fenglan Inn will distribute food on two days every month to distribute some rice, flour, etc. to the poor."
"However, this month's grain distribution payment has been cashed in and all the grain has been distributed."
Yuan pulled the paper and pointed at a place on it with his long finger.
"This is our monthly food allowance."
"Will it be released every month?"
Qiao Mu asked.
"Um."
Yuan nodded, "This is the situation in our Xixi City. The situation in other cities may not be the same."
"For example, in the nearby Luoyang City, their people seem to have a better life than in Xixi City."
"This is also the reason why the people in Xixi City want to take them to Luoyang City to buy everything."
"If you bring things to Luoyang City, the price will be relatively high. The people in Luoyang City have a large demand, and it will be easy for them to sell them."
"As far as I know, the Fenglan Inn in Xiyuan City also has this monthly provision of food, but Luoyang City does not."
Feng Jiuer pursed her lips and seemed to have learned something.
It's no wonder that Fenglan Inn's business is so good. They have indeed done a lot of things that many people can't do.
"Then if the city remains closed and some people really can't let go, can we arrange a second grain release this month?"
"Is this what the girl is referring to?"
Yuan asked.
"Um."
Feng Jiuer nodded.
They were all people of flesh and blood, trying hard to survive, and it made her uncomfortable to see them sad.
What's more, she was really the instigator of the city's lockdown.
"There are two ways to solve this matter."
Yuan Mou said softly.
"First, the girl gave the order directly, and second, I have to discuss it with two other colleagues, and maybe even apply to the higher authorities."
Feng Jiuer nodded and said: "Let's see if we can solve the problem with the city closure first. If the business is not greatly affected, just give the order directly."
"yes."
Yuan raised his hand and accepted the order.
"I will continue to inquire about this matter, please wait a little longer."
