Sun Datong went down, and the striker came up.

He arrived very quickly, as if he could already hear his footsteps when he heard Long Xi call his name.

Long Xi said: "It seems that you can't wait for a long time."

The striker raised his eyebrows, rubbed his eyes and said, "The subordinate didn't sleep all night when he went back."

Long Xi chuckled: "I haven't slept all night, and you're going to nap during the day."

The striker still seemed to have anger on his face, and said fiercely: "If I don't investigate the matter clearly, I will never be able to sleep."

Long Xi took two steps forward, "You must learn to fall asleep when you can't sleep, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it in the future."

The striker happily followed him, "Young Master, I wrote it down."

"Young Master, where are we going now?"

Long Xi said: "Of course I went shopping, you come with me."

The striker scratched his head and said, "Shopping, young master, don't you have breakfast first?"

Long Xi said with a smile: "It's said that you go shopping, why don't you eat at home."

The striker jumped behind Long Xi and walked out of the gate happily.

Long Xi said as he walked: "What are you worried about when you come out with me? I wronged you for blackmailing other people's wine money last night, and I have to invite you to drink two glasses today."

The striker grinned and said, "Where does the young master say, if you want to invite it, it's also a small one to invite the young master."

The streets are still as lively as ever, but if you look closely, you can almost see that the faces of the pedestrians are not good-looking, and they are all gloomy.

The striker looked left and right, and said with high spirits: "Young master, where are we going?"

Long Xi Langran smiled and said, "If you invite you to drink, you will naturally go to the most expensive place."

The striker said with anticipation in his eyes: "Actually, you can go anywhere, there is a restaurant with good conditions not far ahead."

Long Xi glanced forward and said, "Okay, then let's go there."

When I took my seat, the shopkeeper came forward enthusiastically.

Long Xi picked up the menu on the table and ticked it casually.

After a while, the steaming delicious dishes were served, and Long Xi touched his chin and said, "Is there any wine?"

The shopkeeper is very knowledgeable and very good at reading people, as soon as he saw Longxi, he knew that he must be the son of a rich family.

With a bright smile on his face, he beckoned, "Yes, I don't know what wine Childe ordered?"

Long Xi said quietly: "I don't know how much your drunken bonus is here?"

The shopkeeper suddenly opened his eyebrows and smiled: "Drunken red public wine, only fifteen yuan."

"Poof", the tea that the striker had just drunk into his mouth suddenly spit it out, pointed to the shopkeeper and said: "Fifteen yuan, this is still public wine, you dare to pit us, beware of us reporting to the official."

The shopkeeper still said politely: "I won't tell you, even if the county master comes, he will have to pay fifteen yuan, and he can't lose a son."

The striker said angrily: "Why is the shop so rampant, do you know who we are, and I drink your wine every day, don't think I don't know the market."

The shopkeeper smiled indifferently and said, "I'm afraid you only know yesterday's market, not today."

The forward said angrily: "What is today and tomorrow, is this wine still a price a day."

Long Xi suddenly stopped and said: "We really rarely go out, what is the market for you today?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, handed the recipe back to them, pointed to the black circle on it and said: "This uncle said just now, this wine is indeed a price a day, and if you don't buy it today, it will have to rise tomorrow, not only wine, you come to see the dishes on this menu, you look at this chopped pepper fish head, this braised eggplant."

Long Xi fixed his eyes on the menu that was heavily smeared with ink, and said, "What's going on, isn't it not only the price of wine that has risen, but also the price of food."

The shopkeeper patted the table lightly and said in a deep voice: "In a few days, I'm afraid that not only the price of individual dishes will increase, but also the rice eaten and the clothes you wear will also increase."

Long Xi looked up and said, "Could it be that the whole city is like this?"

The shopkeeper said impatiently: "You think we are a black shop, not only we are rising, but the whole world is rising, do you see the noodle restaurant opposite?"

The striker turned his head to look at a very inconspicuous noodle stall.

The shopkeeper said: "The price of that noodle restaurant has risen much more sharply than ours, and a bowl of noodles costs fifty yuan."

Long Xi's eyes widened and said, "This is outrageous, how can this be."

The shopkeeper glanced at him, "How do we know, but the common people are rumored to have done it by the Long family."

"Don't talk nonsense," the striker said with a bluffed face.

The shopkeeper glared at him disappreciatively, and said in a low voice: "Actually, it was all done by Young Master Longxi."

"What?" Long Xi spat out a sip of tea.

The shopkeeper hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Don't be so loud, rumors, rumors, just rumors, I didn't say it must be, why are you nervous?"

The striker stood up, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Aren't you wronging people by saying that?"

The shopkeeper said: "You...... You are not him, how do you know that you have wronged someone".

Long Xi calmed down and said, "Then why do the people think it's me...... It was made by Young Master Longxi."

The shopkeeper glanced at them with an expression of knowing the truth, and said, "This is not simple, isn't this going to open the world again."

Longxi said: "As soon as the martial arts are opened, people from all walks of life should be gathered, and they should make money."

"That's right, at least the tourism industry is definitely profitable", the striker couldn't help but interject.

The shopkeeper said: "Making money is making money, it depends on who it is, I think it is Young Master Longxi who is making money this time, and it is hard to see the people of Longcheng."

The striker suddenly clenched his fists and shouted: "Fart, do you know Young Master Longxi's hard work, is he doing it for himself?"

The shopkeeper was startled, shrank back and said, "You...... Why are you so excited, I didn't say anything about you."

The striker slapped the table, "No, you can't increase the price of food and drinks here."

The shopkeeper hurriedly ran back to the house, and then an old man with a rich face came out.

The old man was well-dressed and was clearly the boss here.

The boss smiled and handed over a pot of tea, arched his hand, and said kindly, "I don't know who the two are?"

Longxi said: "We are locals".

The boss sneered and shook his head slowly, "No, no, if you are really locals, you should know the rules here."

The striker looked dazed, "Rules, what rules?"

The boss nodded very well, "Then it goes without saying, of course, it is the rule of giving money for eating."

Long Xi raised his head and said, "This is natural, but your price is unacceptable to ordinary people."

The shopkeeper rushed out of the house, in front of the boss, he seemed to be much bolder, he shouted angrily: "If you don't have any money, what kind of food will you eat if you can't afford it, see no, there is only one table in this whole room, ordinary people can't even afford to eat pickles, how can they come here."

The boss waved his hand to the shopkeeper and interrupted: "Two guests, please don't be surprised, what he said is not unreasonable, everything is expensive now, there are few guests, our business is also sluggish, who calls everything has increased in price, if you really want to investigate it, I'm afraid you have to find the four major families."

"Four families?"

The boss said kindly: "Yes, the four major families control the pricing power of mobile goods, whether it is ingredients or other items."

Long Xi secretly mused: "They ...... I didn't think it was their hands and feet."

The boss said: "We are all businessmen, so we naturally know where the goods are going to enter, but these four people are too big for ordinary people to approach."
