Hu Fei pulled Stationmaster Meng at Luohe Station to ask about the purchase of military rations, and Stationmaster Meng excused himself from having no friendship with people in the military system, and he couldn't help in this matter.

"Which army is stationed in Luohe Town? Where are their ration depots? These Meng stationmasters should know, right? I wonder if I can tell you? Don't worry, this is not a military secret, and I am not a Japanese spy. Even if Stationmaster Meng says it, he doesn't have to bear legal responsibility. Hu Feile enlightened the stationmaster of Luohe.

Meng Changjiang looked at Hu Fei, and then at Yuan Fang and Ji Jinbiao standing behind Hu Fei. Hu Fei is a sunny and handsome big boy when he is not angry and stares, and Yuan Fang is also a simple country boy from the outside. is different from Ji Jinbiao, the face of the former bandit leader called the bandit named Channeling Mountain Leopard is natural, which makes people see at a glance that this person is not a person to be messed with.

Looking at the three officers of the national army with different descriptions in front of him, Stationmaster Meng's heart was by no means as calm as his appearance. These three people are not good at first glance, since they have come to the door, there is no result, where are they willing to give up?

Which army lives in Luohe is public news, even if Meng Changjiang doesn't say it, Hu Fei can know if he enters the town and asks a random national army. As for the location of the grain warehouse of the national army, it is a military secret. Stationmaster Meng is just a railway station master, where does he have the authority to know about this kind of thing?

When Hu Fei heard this, he had to ask for a long time in vain! It seems that the grain warehouse of the national army can't be asked, so it's always okay to ask which local stocks are large, right?

On this issue, Stationmaster Meng provided Hu Fei with two useful pieces of information. If you want to say that there are large grain stores among the common people, there are really two in Luohe. However, this qiē is all speculation, and Meng Changjiang cannot guarantee that the two people he said will definitely have enough food for Hu Fei's troops to eat.

"Stationmaster Meng just said, even if he said it wrong, it doesn't matter, we just should chat. The speaker is not guilty. Don't worry, whether it's right or wrong, I won't blame you. That's right, I also have a thank you gift; No, these oceans are also a reward. As he spoke, Hu Fei handed over the stack of silver dollars that had been pushed back by Stationmaster Meng just now.

Now that all the words have been said here, Meng Changjiang naturally no longer refuses. If it's right or wrong, there's money, so why don't you take it? Who has a grudge against money?

"Since Captain Hu is so gracious, then I'll tell you what I know. If there is something wrong, Captain Hu must not be surprised. Meng Changjiang didn't count the oceans when he took them, and stuffed them directly into his personal pocket.

"It's okay to speak."

"We have one of the largest grain stores in Luohe Town, called Niuji Grain Store. It is said that this family has business dealings with large grain merchants on both sides of the Yellow River and north and south of the Yangtze River. As long as their family said that the price would rise, the food in the town would immediately rise; If they lower the price, the whole town will have to drop the grain! Not only Luohe Town, but also Yuncheng, Wuyang, and Linying, the surrounding counties and towns have followed the Niuji Grain Store to rise and fall in grain prices simultaneously! ”

Since Niu Ji Grain Store can control the fluctuation of grain prices in several surrounding counties and towns, the scale of this business must not be small, and the grain stock in the grain store will not be less! Hu Fei's heart was as bright as opening two doors. Since the Battle of Lanfeng, he has rarely been in such a comfortable mood.

"Niu Ji Grain Store is considered to be one, so which one is the other?" Hu Fei actually took Niuji Grain as a goal in his heart. Stationmaster Meng said that it was two, of course he had to let the family finish the conversation. Let's talk about both of them, let's compare them to see which one is more appropriate.

"The other is Zhang Dahu in the west of the town. Who in this town doesn't know that Zhang Dahu's family has dozens of warehouses of grain, and there are groups of servants and women at home. One autumn, it rained for a month, and the grain of Zhang's family was moldy, and there were tens of thousands of catties of moldy wheat thrown away! Poor families from several nearby villages came to Zhangzhuang to pick up moldy wheat and cook it for eating. Even the rain gave hundreds of people a way to live. ”

There are tens of thousands of catties of moldy wheat thrown away? This granary is not small! Hu Fei's eyes rolled, and he already had an idea in his heart. "Well, thank you Stationmaster Meng for the information. When I get the food, I will thank you more. Leave! "There's nothing to say, it's only serious to get the food first!

After Hu Fei said goodbye from the stationmaster's office, he asked Ji Jinbiao to transfer a hundred people, and he wanted to take the troops to buy food!

Who can Ji Jinbiao transfer if he goes to transfer people? Of course, it was to transfer his subordinates. After a short time, a hundred officers and soldiers got off the train and gathered on the platform. Ji Jinbiao also wanted to take the war horse down and let Hu Fei stop it. As soon as I visited the Yellow Flood Area, the soldiers were almost the same as before, but the number of war horses did not increase. Today's cavalry brigade has nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers, but the war horses are still brought out of Lanfeng City.

The cavalry brigade has only forty or so war horses, and it is a shame to say it! Instead of that, it's better not to ride a horse, and feel more comfortable!

Hu Fei took 100 officers and soldiers to the Niuji Grain Store first, since he wanted to buy grain, of course, it was the most convenient to find a grain store. I have the impression that if you buy more grain in the grain store, the grain store will also deliver it to the door, so how easy it is to let the grain store send the grain directly to the train? Hu Fei came for the service attitude of the grain bank.

Of course, he brought a hundred soldiers to prevent the other party from delivering goods. If people didn't have this service, wouldn't his 100 strong laborers come in handy? Anyway, Hu Fei must buy food before dinner today!

The grain store from the guy to the shopkeeper is very polite. Seeing Hu Fei coming with someone, several guys were busy pouring tea and handing cigarettes to greet them. The shopkeeper wearing a melon skin hat and a robe and horse coat was respectful and smiling. Hu Fei was quite satisfied with his first impression of the grain store.

I sat down, picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and got down to business. When the shopkeeper heard that he was here to buy grain, he kept nodding. When Hu Fei finished speaking, the shopkeeper's face also smiled like a flower, "No problem, no problem, the disadvantages are guaranteed to sell to the chief are all good polished rice and white noodles." In terms of quality, we can definitely guarantee it! I don't know how much the chief needs? ”

Hu Fei said a number, and the shopkeeper picked up the abacus and crackled and dialed. At this time, a young man ran in from outside, dressed like those guys serving tea, and it was estimated that he was also a young man from this grain store.

The man ran to the shopkeeper who was about to make a plate, and whispered something to the shopkeeper's ear. Hu Fei didn't care, and he didn't pay attention to listening. After hearing this, the shopkeeper's face changed suddenly, and he immediately put down the abacus and asked the young man in a low voice.

This time Hu Fei heard it, and the shopkeeper asked: What you said is true?

The guy replied: Absolutely.

Next, the shopkeeper clasped his fists at Hu Fei and smiled bitterly: "Sir, I'm really sorry." There is no surplus grain to sell to you. Just now, this kid came to tell me that the owner of the bad number had negotiated a deal with a big customer, and all the rice and white noodles that the bad number had sold to that big customer this month. I'm really sorry! As he spoke, he bowed to the ground.
