Chapter 87: Expensive Food

There are no more seven branches in Chang'an.

The seventh branch of Yongxingfang is gone, and their shop in the West Market has also changed hands.

Overnight, the Qifentang disappeared in Chang'an City.

Qifentang is a gang after all, although it is very small, it is okay in Yongxingfang.

Therefore, the disappearance of the Qifentang has caused a lot of discussion on the side of Yongxingfang, and even in Chang'an City, it has also caused a little impact, but it is only a little impact.

The impact of the disappearance of the Seven Branches was quickly drowned out by other things.

After all, in this Chang'an City, different major events happen every day, and every thing is enough to make the people talk about it for a long time.

Other things quickly disappeared from the top of the list.

Many people in Chang'an City may be gradually forgetting.

Among these major events, there is one thing that most affects the hearts of the powerful people in the DPRK and China, as well as some wealthy businessmen.

That is, the price of green vegetables in Chang'an City this year has risen a little more than in previous years.

To tell the truth, these vegetables in Chang'an City are all transported from the south, and the road in the south is not very easy to walk, even if it is by water, it will take a long time.

Green vegetables belong to the kind of things that are not particularly easy to preserve, so the damage along the way is very serious, and when they arrive in Chang'an City, most of them have been broken and yellowed.

The rest of the good ones are naturally more expensive.

Expensive, even those powerful people have a little trembling.

The powerful are indeed very rich, but their usual expenses are also very large, so the real money budget used to buy vegetables will definitely not be very much, the price of this green vegetables is expensive, if you buy it, it will exceed the budget.

As a result, many of them can only choose not to eat.

The Royal Palace here.

It's not getting any better.

"Holy Lord, the imperial dining room said that the price of green vegetables this year is very expensive, and they asked, do you want to get some green vegetables this year?"

Green vegetables are more expensive than meat, where can everyone afford to eat them?

Now that Li Shimin and Empress Changsun are advocating frugality, they are leading by example, this green vegetable has become a luxury, so do they still eat it?

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment and said, "Buy some, but give them all to the prince and princess, they are the time to grow their bodies, and they can't lack these nutrients, so I and the queen and other concubines don't need it." ”

Li Shimin, the son of heaven, is also aggrieved, not to mention the wine pond meat forest, he is now a little reluctant to eat even green vegetables.

But what's the solution, who makes this thing so expensive in winter?

In previous years, when he was the king of Qin, he only needed to take care of the expenses of the Qin Palace, and he could eat a little bit of this green vegetable, but now that he has become the Son of Heaven, Datang is in urgent need of money, how can he spend money on green vegetables?

Maybe the money they spent will be able to feed and clothe the soldiers at the border gates and survive this year's severe cold.

When it comes to soldiers, they are absolutely stingy.

After Li Shimin's words, the palace people hurriedly went down to order.

So it is at the Royal Palace.

In fact, many of those officials in the DPRK and China are from good families, and they want to eat some green vegetables, which is okay.

It's just that the Son of Heaven has reduced his purchase because vegetables are too expensive, so how can they buy them in a big way?

Therefore, many powerful people really can't stand it, so they will let their families buy a few catties and come back to eat, as for buying a lot of that, it basically doesn't exist.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some people saw the profits of green vegetables, so they sent people to the south to buy them, and then pulled them over to sell.

Boling Cui's family, that's the case.

Half a month ago, Cui Renshi had already seen a business opportunity and sent someone to the south to purchase.

Counting the time, they should be back in a few days, and by that time, they will have to make a lot of money.

Although the officials of the court followed the example of the Son of Heaven and advocated frugality, the rich merchants in Chang'an City were not ambiguous at all, and they did not care about this money.

Being able to eat vegetables is a symbol of wealth, and they must symbolize it well.

-----------------------

Bolingcui's house.

After Cui Gao came back, he told Cui Run about the grievances he received from Cui Shaoqing or something.

"Patriarch, my subordinates have told me all kinds of interests, but Cui Shaoqing just refuses to go back to our Cui family, and he still has the intention of going against our Cui family, patriarch, my subordinates are incompetent............"

Cui Gao said that Cui Shaoqing was very arrogant, and what he said was full of hatred for the Boling Cui family.

After he finished saying this, Cui Run was already frowning slightly, but at this time, Cui Rui next to him couldn't listen to it, and snorted: "This Cui Shaoqing, do you really think you are very powerful?" Dare to say that I am the enemy of my Boling Cui family, grandpa, granddaughter I want to go to Wannian County, I want to see what is so powerful about this Cui Shaoqing, he is so arrogant, I want to teach him a lesson. ”

For his granddaughter, Cui Run is very pampered on weekdays, but although this Cui Rui is sometimes a little lonely and not afraid of other people's eyes, she still has the ability.

He has helped take care of many things in the Cui family, and he takes care of them very well, if he is a man, Cui Run will not have to look for Cui Shaoqing to come back.

It's just a pity that he's a woman.

Now Cui Rui really wants to go to Wannian County to have a look, he wants to see his cousin, why is he so arrogant?

Cui Run thought for a while and said: "It's okay for you to go to Wannian County, if Cui Shaoqing is really as Cui Gao said, arrogant and hostile to my Boling Cui family, then we don't need to beg him to come back, but if he is not like this, then you also have to persuade him, of course, the premise is that you have to test him to see if he is really as capable as the legend says, understand?" ”

Hearing Cui Run's words, Cui Gao's expression moved slightly, a little worried, but thinking of Cui Shaoqing's situation at that time, he was indeed hostile to the Boling Cui family, even if Cui Rui went, he couldn't change anything, right?

In this way, he was somewhat relieved.

Cui Rui is here a little resentful that her grandfather has not let go of Cui Shaoqing, but she believes in her grandfather's decision, so she did not refute, and said: "After I go, granddaughter, I will test him well, if he really has the ability, it will be fine, if he sells his reputation, I have to teach him a good lesson." ”

Regarding what Cui Rui said, Cui Run didn't doubt that he, a granddaughter, had a lot of ideas, he said that he wanted to teach a lesson, then most of this person would not have anything to do.

"Okay, go ahead."

After saying this, Cui Rui went back to prepare, and then took his two personal maids, Qingjian and Baidao, and rushed to Wannian County.
