"There should be a play."

Liu Zhao heard that Wen Xiuyi had made a special trip for his own affairs, and he felt warm in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it all, there is no absolute thing in the world.

"Isn't it 100 percent?"

Wen Xiuyi frowned when she heard Liu Zhi's answer, she was not satisfied with this answer.

"Sister, I'm not the teacher who judges the papers, even if there are standard answers, I can't predict the final grade, the handwriting of the answers, the order of solving the questions, and even the mood of the teacher may affect the final grade."

Liu smiled relatively hehehe, he saw a kind of heartfelt concern from Wen Xiuyi's body.

"Well, I see."

Wen Xiuyi nodded, lowered her head and thought for a moment, then stopped dwelling on this question, and then asked, "Where are you going, you have to ride out early in the morning." ”

"No purpose, go around, don't you have to go to work today?"

Liu Zhao stretched out his hand and pointed into the courtyard, "Let's go in and sit for a while." ”

Wen Xiuyi shook her head and signaled that she would not go in, and then said, "I have to go to work today, but I said hello to the director when I came out." ”

Listening to Wen Xiuyi's words, I didn't want to go back for a while.

"Do you have any plans?" After staring at it for a while, Liu Zhao really couldn't understand the reason why Wen Xiuyi didn't go to work or enter the yard, so he scratched his head and asked.

Wen Xiuyi suddenly laughed mischievously, "Don't you want to go around?" I'll go with you, where are you going? ”

"Eh" Liu was relatively choked, but she could see that Wen Xiuyi had made up her mind to go around with her, so she said helplessly: "I'm going to go to the grain market, it's a boring thing." ”

"It doesn't matter, I happened to go and have a look, and the director asked us to submit a research report."

Wen Xiuyi's voice replied very dryly.

Liu said in his heart, "Does the investigation of the grain market have a lot to do with your town's finances?" But he didn't dare to say this, and nodded helplessly

The urban area of Huazun is not very large, the four main streets of the east, west, north and south divide the whole city, the construction plan of the city has just taken shape, the division area of each market is not clear, there is no later generation of what home decoration street, food street and so on.

Although there are not many stores specializing in grain wholesale in this city in 95 years, as long as they are opened, they all belong to the Huazun grain market.

Liu Rushan's store is on North Street, not very far from home, there is only one grain store close to his store, the scale is not very large, I heard that this is the first grain store in Huazun Market, but it is not hot, Liu Relative and the two of them directly ignored this and rode towards East Street.

When passing by his own grain store, he saw a long queue of cars pulling grain outside the store, Wen Xiuyi nodded and praised: "Relatively, Uncle Rushan really has a set of business, which is very good." ”

Liu Relative laughed, in fact, in his heart, Liu Relative admired his father very much, whether it was from business skills, open-mindedness to simplicity and mellowness, Liu Rushan has always been his role model.

However, compared with the booming scene of his own store, the situation of the East Street Grain Store is not very good.

The road on East Street is a little potholed, not very easy to walk, it seems that the trailer goes too much, until the end of the street, Liu Zhao saw an iron sign standing on the side of the road, which reads 'rice white noodles', presumably this is the only grain and oil monopoly on this street.

When the two stopped their bicycles and walked into the store, only the shopkeeper and his wife were bored sitting at the table where the accounts were settling and munching melon seeds, and there were not a lot of grains piled up in the store, and there were several stacks of rice in front of them, and the bulk white flowers of rice were piled up with tips.

Seeing someone come in, the man sitting outside stood up and greeted the two.

"What are you buying?"

The man may have a naturally loud voice, and the thunderous voice startled Liu Relative.

"Ah, look at the rice."

Liu replied, with a look of surprise that Wen Xiuyi behind her couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, she found this child quite interesting, saying that she came to see the market, and she didn't know what he wanted to see.

However, Wen Xiuyi still felt that Liu Zhao did things for a purpose, but due to the restrictions of her age, some things might not be done very well, so she walked quickly to Liu Zhao's head, walked to the basket full of rice as if leading him, and lowered her body to grab a handful.

But she is really a layman about this, she is okay with cooking, but she doesn't understand the quality of rice and the market, so she had to turn around and hand the rice she was holding to Liu Xiang, and asked casually: "How much is this rice a catty?" ”

In fact, Liu Relatively has a limited understanding of rice now, and he only came to the market to understand the mainstream retail grain prices in his city, and you asked him to judge whether the price of rice is reasonable, or how much this kind of rice is worth, he can't say well.

"Authentic Beidong Rice, 9 Mao 5."

The man looked like a sister and brother, and when he came over, he just bought some piecemeal, so he just said a retail price.

Liu Zhao took the rice from Wen Xiuyi's hand and looked at it carefully, and found that it was in general condition, there was a lot of half-grain rice in it, and the appearance was not very pleasing, so he put the rice in his hand back into the basket, and asked with a smile: "How much does it cost to buy a bag?" ”

A bag is 100 pounds.

"90 pieces."

The man's eyes lit up, and he directly opened his mouth and lowered 5 pieces.

"It's a bit expensive, can it still be cheap?" Although he doesn't know the current price very well, Liu is still very good at bargaining, and he wants to find out.

"It's indispensable."

The man was still hesitating, and the woman at the table spoke.

The woman was a little fat, and came to the two of them with melon seeds in her hand, and said while spitting out the melon seed skin: "What I give you is the wholesale price, and the whole car is bought at this price." ”

The woman is more shrewd, and she thinks that Liu should not buy too much for the two of them.

"It's a bit expensive, sister, let's go look elsewhere."

Liu felt that there was nothing to see from the business conditions of this grain store, and he wanted to know as much as possible about the market situation of retail retailers, which he was not representative of.

Although the business of one's own grain is mainly wholesale, the ultimate flow is still to the bottom of the consumer, so it is better to choose some stores with more buyers.

"Hey, don't worry, I also have one if I want it cheap."

The fat woman laughed, "Come on, there's a cheap one in it." ”

The fat woman led the two of them inside.

Bypassing the stacks of rice in the middle, there is a big iron gate behind, because the line of sight is blocked, so it is not visible where Liu is standing against them, when the fat woman pushes it open hard, the two of them find that there is a big warehouse behind, and there are a lot of rice neatly stacked inside.

The fat woman motioned for the two to follow, and then casually used her fingers to buckle a hole in the rice bag, and took some rice flowing out of the bag with her hand, and then wiped it hard, and the fiber thread of the rice bag returned to normal.

She handed the rice she had caught in her hand to Ryu Tsuki.

"This rice is cheap, 85 yuan a bag."

Looking closely, Liu found that the rice was significantly different in quality from the rice he had just seen outside, and although the rice grains inside were plump, they had yellow grains.

The appearance of yellow-grained rice in rice is due to rainy days when harvesting rice, and the rice is damp, and secondly, it is caused by too long or poor storage, and most of the yellow-grained rice on the market is stale grain.

Liu Zhi's brows furrowed, and he said, "There are so many yellow grains, can you eat them?" ”

"It's okay, the steamed rice is gone, it's just a little damp, otherwise how can it be so cheap?"

Handing the rice back to the fat woman, Liu Zhao shook his head and motioned for Wen Xiuyi to follow him out of the warehouse.

"This rice is good, the price is so cheap."

Wen Xiuyi didn't know much about food, and when she walked out of the grain store, she asked, "My family's rice is similar to this." ”

Liu tilted the handlebars and said with a smile: "Miss, your family also eats stale grain?" ”

"I don't understand what kind of stale food, but I don't think there's a big difference."

Wen Xiuyi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked, "Isn't it all rice?" So much cheaper, what's the point? ”

"It's not harmful to the body, but the taste is much worse."

Liu explained a sentence, got on the car and asked, "Go to Nanguan to have a look?" ”

"Let's go."

There are more grain stores in Nanguan, and it may be related to the fact that there are more factories in Nancheng, and there are many canteens in government agencies, so the permanent population is larger, and the consumption of grain is larger.

There are one or two grain stores here that are not small, from the open door of the store you can see the stacks of very high rice stacks, the white snakeskin bag printed on the red 'Northeast rice' is particularly conspicuous, the two of them turned around at random to see, or cheap rice is the majority, and those who hold big bags and small bags to buy grain The citizens also mainly choose the relatively cheap old rice, think that the resolution of consumers for the new rice is not very high.

"Let's go, Xiguan."

After walking for more than half an hour, listening to the price of stale grain, and estimating the purchase price of stale grain in these different grain stores, Liu Zhao proposed that the two go to Xiguan.
