Chapter 34: Inquiry
"Don't panic, we have been in business for many years, and we can see that some people have done such things that benefit others and harm themselves? If there is to be free distribution of grain, there is not a small amount of grain distributed every day, and it is impossible for the government to have this silver tael.
Even if there is this silver tael, it is impossible to use it for no reason. I can't believe what that kid said, and it's probably to scare us. Let's relax, let's go back and see what else he has to offer. ”
What Shopkeeper Sun said is reasonable, even if you want to buy food, the deadline is tomorrow, and now it is a mediocre person to discuss it here.
After everyone dispersed, Shopkeeper Sun walked out of the restaurant, stopped and thought for a moment, then turned around and returned to the restaurant. After a while, he carried a jar of wine and a food box in the direction of the west of the city.
In the refugee area outside Xicheng, in the first building, Sun Yunkun sent the convoy carrying grain into the city at noon, and after that, no one in the refugee area took care of things, and he didn't have time to eat, so he hurried back.
After sitting down and taking a breath, he planned to go to the place where the refugees distributed food to find something to eat, and pass his empty stomach.
Before anyone walked out of the door, Shopkeeper Sun walked over and greeted him with a smile as he walked:
"Yun Kun'a, when I returned to my hometown more than a month ago, I heard that you had an errand here in Luotianfu, and I wanted to come and see you for a long time, but I have not been free, and today I can be regarded as free."
The relationship between the two can only be regarded as acquaintances at most, although they are in the same village and the same surname, but the shopkeeper Sun has been sold to the Sun family since he was a child, and he has returned to the village two or three times a year.
And because Shopkeeper Sun worked hard for the Sun family, he inevitably had to exploit the people in the same village, so Shopkeeper Sun was the notorious No. 1 person in the same village.
So when Sun Yunkun saw the shopkeeper Sun coming, he didn't want to pay attention to him, and he didn't even want to say hello, but looking at the smile on his face, the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, and seeing that the thing he was holding was a food box, you have to think that there must be meat in it, Sun Yunkun, who had not seen the smell of meat for several months, swallowed his saliva, nodded in the end, turned slightly sideways, and made a gesture of please:
"It turned out to be the shopkeeper Sun, please inside!"
Shopkeeper Sun knew his relationship with the people in the same village, so he specially prepared a food box, seeing the landing point of Sun Yunkun's eyes and the change between Sun Yunkun's demeanor, although the smile on his face remained unchanged, but he had a little scorn in his heart.
Although the shopkeeper Sun is a dog in the Sun family, he is even last among the farmers and industrialists, but what about this? Now this Sun Yunkun, the only scholar in the ten-mile village, grovels to him and flatters him not because of a little fish and meat.
Shopkeeper Sun has dealt with many people, and the so-called scholars he has seen don't know how many people he has, but there is no doubt that poor readers like Sun Yunkun are his favorite.
Because of this kind of reader, because of a little bit of the spearhead he despises, he flatters and panders to himself, and the shopkeeper Sun can always get great satisfaction from his heart.
Shopkeeper Sun walked into the back room, gave the food box directly to Sun Yunkun, and then looked around by himself. Sun Yunkun took the food box, nodded and smiled, indifferent to his unreasonable behavior, and laid out the meals inside one by one.
In this process, although Shopkeeper Sun seemed to be walking around and looking at that, in fact, he kept looking at Sun Yunkun from the corner of his eyes, because Shopkeeper Sun really liked to look at these superior readers, such a posture.
After Sun Yunkun put the things in order, Shopkeeper Sun turned around pretending not to care, and then sat down at the table, and this time he sat down and sat down in the first place.
Sun Yunkunyi just didn't care at all, the two chatted while eating, Sun's shopkeeper socialized all year round, and when he was popular, it could be said that he was in full swing.
Waiting until the wine has passed three rounds and the food has passed five flavors, from the previous rustiness to the current brotherhood, the shopkeeper Sun said the real purpose of his visit this time:
"Isn't the little brother doing in Xicheng now? How did I see you in the morning in the convoy carrying grain? ”
Sun Yunkun can be regarded by Li Xie, he is definitely not a mediocre person, as soon as the shopkeeper Sun entered the door, he knew that he must have another purpose, and then even thought of what he had done, as well as the identity of the shopkeeper Sun, in fact, he had already guessed the purpose of the shopkeeper Sun.
It's just that during the whole process of drinking and chatting, Sun Yunkun was hanging the appetite of the shopkeeper Sun, in order to repay the shopkeeper Sun's many rudeness since he came in.
Now that the shopkeeper Sun has brought it up, not to mention that the relationship with him is not very good, even if the relationship is good, Sun Yunkun will never reveal the true situation.
Because this time Sun Yunkun had already guessed the purpose of Li Xie's doing this, and knew that this was a matter related to the lives of tens of millions of people, how could he ruin things because of personal relationships.
"Oh, that's it! The head of the grain cart is the brother of one of my classmates, and you know that this is a special period, because there are many procedures to enter the city, which is very inconvenient, so I asked me to help.
No, after I sent them to Luo Tianfu, I was busy rushing back, and I didn't have to worry about eating until now. It's good that you came, brother, otherwise I'm afraid my brother will be hungry. ”
Shopkeeper Sun's purpose was achieved, but he still didn't believe it, so he planned to get to the bottom of it, and replied with a smile:
"I see, it's just that the year before last there was heavy snowfall and the climate was very bad, where did so much food come from? I don't know if my little brother has ever heard of it? ”
"I didn't ask about this, but I know that it comes from the south, and you also know that the south is like spring all year round, and their grain can be grown two or three times a year, and it is not surprising that there is surplus grain." Since childhood, I have been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and I know a lot about geography, so I made up a sentence casually.
Shopkeeper Sun frowned, but he was even more suspicious, now that the Longhe River is flooded, the north and south are cut off, and there is a civil uprising, where can anyone transport grain?
It's just that after Sun Yunkun said this, he didn't talk about what the shopkeeper Sun asked next. When Sun Yunkun finished eating the meat dishes on the table, he directly pretended to be drunk and lay on the table.
Shopkeeper Sun stretched out his hand and shook Sun Yunkun twice, making sure that he couldn't ask when it was any longer, so he walked out with more questions. I can't figure out how to think about this thing, it's good that I don't come this time, but after a trip, Shopkeeper Sun is even more upset in his heart.
Here, after Li Xie came out of the restaurant, he took Liu Bao, the household servant, to the warehouse in the east of the city, and waited until the grain transported back from the west gate was in place, Li Xie looked at the grain and turned to Liu Bao and said:
