Chapter 174: Surrounding one after another

The price of rice in Jing'an City skyrocketed overnight!

Originally, a few hundred dollars could buy a lot of old rice, but now they actually sit on the ground and start the price, and all of them shout to a high price of more than a few taels of silver!

One day, it's nothing. If this is the case for two or three days, the government cannot sit idly by. The officials in a group were tired - they went to all the rice shops in the city before dawn to inquire, and if they encountered the kind of inexplicable price increase, they were all severely punished. If the price is not changed under the heavy fine, then the shop will be ordered to be closed and the person will be brought back to the government for interrogation.

In fact, when they saw the fierce and vicious appearance of these officials, few people dared to hold on to not reducing the price.

Who has the audacity to oppose the government?

Taking a step back, in fact, even if the officials don't come, they won't be able to do this business anymore - the price increase of Chen rice did not attract the attention of Jiang Chenglou, but it attracted a scolding from the people around them! The shopkeepers of these rice shops in the capital have never seen silver, and they will do such a unconscionable thing when they want to go crazy with silver!

The shopkeeper of the rice shop is not stupid, they just don't know the truth, so they want to try...... After this attempt, of course, you will understand - it is not like that at all!

If it weren't for all these years, everyone would still know a little bit about Shen Er. I almost thought that this was a trap for Shen Er! It was Shen Er who deliberately played with them!

That is, because Shen Er's honest image is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, they would rather believe that this is a coincidence, than believe that Shen Er suddenly has a brain!

But...... Regardless of whether they really think that this is Shen Er making trouble, anyway, their peers are enemies, everyone has suffered, and they can't let Shen Er get away alone!

So, these rice shops who were inspected were shopkeepers. Almost unanimously told the officials the reason - the reason why the old rice was sold so expensive was all learned from the Shen family's rice shop! Let's reduce the price, don't forget to check Shen Er, the culprit!

――――

The matter of the rice shop is just a major event in this industry. It's nothing for the entire city of Gyeongan.

There is a lot of interesting news in Jing'an City, especially in recent days, the corn rice in Jiangchenglou, that is the big news that has caused a sensation in the city!

Legend has it that Jiangchenglou suddenly brought the former white rice. Changed to the current golden corn rice!

What is Golden Corn Rice?

Golden corn rice is the most talked about topic in Gyeongan City now!

This golden corn is completely different from white rice. They are as colourful as gold and lustrous as jade. When the bowl is full, it tastes sweet in the mouth - the same as the golden melon. Golden corn also has its own unique aroma, so there is no way to describe its deliciousness in words.

Those who have eaten it can only say that it is delicious. Then bring your relatives and friends to Jiangcheng Tower to taste this rare delicacy!

Jiangchenglou became famous for a while. A bowl of golden corn rice costs three taels of silver, but even so. Daily is still in short supply.

Countless guests flocked to the city. After all, you can taste the delicacy for three taels of silver...... Who wouldn't want to try it!

You know, golden corn rice is as famous as golden melon! Golden melon now costs 200 taels to eat one, while golden corn rice only costs 3 taels!

Count it this way. No one thinks it's expensive, and they don't want to think that the white-flour steamed buns on the street only cost three pennies......

For the people of Jing'an City, golden corn rice. It's not at all the same level as white-flour steamed buns!

With such a concept, Jiangchenglou daily golden corn rice. It only took a short time to be sold out. And in this grand situation, the owner of the Jiangcheng Building had to immediately order - stop selling golden corn rice to the individual customers downstairs, and supply it to the private room upstairs first!

And the price has also changed from "three taels of silver and a bowl" at the beginning to the current "three taels of silver and a small bowl......

A pound of dried golden corn kernels costs twenty taels of silver, and the proprietor of Jiangchenglou specially asked the chef to count them - he can cook as many as ten small bowls just now. But even so, Jiang Chenglou still made a lot of money because of this.

When everyone praised the owner of Jiangchenglou for doing business, the three people in Jiangchenglou invariably thought of the two maidservants, Fu'er and Lu'er.

Because the golden corn rice has brought good income to Jiangchenglou, and more importantly, it has brought good popularity and fame. Therefore, the proprietor sealed two silver envelopes with red paper and rewarded them to Aru and the master of the kitchen respectively.

The two men had the money, and they didn't know what to say—Fu'er, who had no use at the time, hadn't seen her since that day. Otherwise, no matter how you think about it, this silver reward should be for her!

Shen Youfu and Lu'er, who were secretly being nagged, would not feel pity at all even if they knew that they had missed the silver reward!

Because the second master Shen carried the corn out every morning, and after it was sold out at noon, he ran back like a chicken blood, and found Shen Youfu with all kinds of nagging and emotion, saying that the Shen family's business was so good that it made him feel like a dream.

Shen Youfu didn't care about the accounts of Second Master Shen, she asked Cui Beishan to price Second Master Shen at nineteen taels of silver, and the construction that the Shen family gave him was sold for twenty taels...... For every pound the Shen family sells, they can earn a tael of silver.

If Second Master Shen wants to raise the price, of course he can earn more, because Shen Youfu has calculated - Jiang Chenglou's profit is not small.

However, these things all depend on Second Master Shen's own wishes. Although she is greedy for money, she also knows that money is not everything.

If you have money, you have to be happy, this is the best policy. If she forced Second Master Shen to raise the price, she would definitely not be able to see such a happy father every day.

Anyway, no matter how much Daddy and Jiang Chenglou make, Shen Youfu is the biggest winner.

Because of the efforts and arrangements in the early stage, she doesn't have to bother much now. Cui Beishan sent corn to Shen's family every day, and then the silver flowed into Shen Youfu's pocket.

And she just needs to be in the house every day, settling accounts with Lu'er and counting the money! The most comfortable life in the world is nothing more than that.

There is a market for corn, and the number of golden melons is not much. As a result, the value of the grange has plummeted, and so has the risk - I have not heard of any more thieves coming to your door recently.

Shen Youfu almost sat back and relaxed.

However, Second Master Shen has encountered some trouble here!

Early this morning, the second master Shen still set up a carriage to go to the Shen family rice shop to "open" - in fact, he didn't even need to open the door of the shop, because every day before he arrived, the people in Jiangchenglou were already waiting there.

…… Those few people were too anxious, and Second Master Shen scratched his head - they always transported the golden corn on the cart to their cart without waiting for their carriage to stop!

It's not okay to open your own shop, and it's not good not to open a shop......

Second Master Shen parked the carriage steadily, and there were no voices from those old brothers at the door of the store today. Second Master Shen was feeling strange, and stretched out his head to look out—this sight startled him!

Outside the Shen family's rice shop, a large group of officials were surrounded. And when these people saw his carriage stop, they gathered around him! (To be continued)
