On this day, Wang Dong has been perfecting his words to Sanniang, but he still lacks an opportunity to meet Sanniang.

At noon, Wang Dong had a hasty meal at the Zhang family's wife's house, and in the afternoon, Jiugong finally went and returned.

"Nine Princes?"

Standing outside the courtyard, when Wang Dong was wandering, Jiugong had already brought someone from the direction of the alley, and Wang Dong hurriedly greeted him.

After walking in, Wang Dong found that all the people brought by Jiugong were all dressed as servants of the Wang family, and Wang Dong was puzzled: "Jiugong, what is this?" ”

Jiugong smiled: "Isn't this the man I borrowed?" ”

"What? Can this person borrow it too? Wang Dong was stunned, he had heard of borrowing money and things, but it was the first time he had heard of borrowing people.

Jiugong patted his chest and said, "With my relationship with Lao Qi, what's so difficult to borrow such a few people." ”

"Seventh?" Wang Dong came back to his senses and said, "Could it be the Seventh Prince?" ”

"If it's not him, who else has such a big right to lend me so many people?" "However, these people can only borrow for one day, and tomorrow at noon, they will go back." ”

"It's only one day......"

Jiu Gong smiled: "However, what you need to worry about most now is how to get tomorrow's flour, how?" Is there a way? ”

In addition to a lot of money, the flour Wang Dong bought last time was almost used, and he wanted to fry more fritters tomorrow, but the amount was obviously not enough.

"However, that day, Sanniang said that the flour had been sold out, and now it is ......."

"You don't have to worry about this," Jiu Gong said, "Just now, I have already found out on Lao Qi's side, there is just a batch of flour entering the grain store today, as for whether you can get it, it depends on whether you can convince Sanniang." ”

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Wang Dong nodded, he couldn't imagine that Jiugong was so thoughtful.

Jiugong shook his head and said, "It's not a try, it's a must." Otherwise, wouldn't all my hard work be in vain? ”

"Hmm." Wang Dong nodded heavily, "It's just, where am I going to find Sanniang?" ”

Jiugong smiled: "This is naturally me to accompany you to the grain store to wait, do you want Sanniang to come to you?" ”

"Okay."

Wang Dong instructed the lady of the Zhang family to greet the three Wang family slaves brought by Jiugong, and then he followed Jiugong and walked towards the Wang family grain store in Jinyang City.

According to the news that Jiugong got from Qigong, this afternoon, a piece of rice and grain mobilized by Sanniang from elsewhere will be delivered, and Sanniang will personally accept it at that time.

However, from Jiugong's words, it seems that the rice and grain that these Sanniang have received have become less and less. It seems that in terms of supply, something is wrong.

The business of Wangjia grain store has been opened all over the north and south of the river, especially in Hedong and Hebei (in the early Tang Dynasty, the world was divided into ten provinces, and Hedong and Hebei were roughly in Shanxi Province and Hebei Province) had the greatest influence. Liangdao is also the most famous grain producing place in Datang.

The supply of Wangjia grain store has been very perfect, and the grain is uniformly allocated by the head office. It's just that now, there is a shortage of food in various places, but only the Taiyuan Jinyang branch managed by Sanniang has the lowest price, I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, and the flour allocated to Sanniang by the head office is also less than once.

Although Sanniang has tried her best to ask the head office to allocate more rice and grain, the results are very small. On the contrary, it is the grain store that is taken care of by the boss of the Wang family and the old second-hand people, and the supply of rice and grain is much more sufficient.

Today, new grain has arrived, but it is almost three times worse than the amount expected by Sanniang.

At this moment, sitting in the car, Sanniang's eyebrows were slightly locked, because when she just left the house, her father personally told her that most of the grain transported to Jinyang this time had been booked by old customers, and there was very little rice grain left.

"Hey." Sanniang sighed in the car, how could the only remaining grain meet the daily needs of the people of Jinyang City? Could it be that hunger will also happen in Jinyang City?

The carriage went all the way and finally stopped, and the voice of a slave was heard outside the carriage.

"Sanniang, the grain store has arrived."

"Got it."

After tidying up her appearance a little in the car, Sanniang lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage with the support of her subordinates.

"Sanniang is here." Uncle Quan, the old shopkeeper of the grain store, had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Sanniang getting out of the car, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Several old customers of the grain store have been urging for a long time, and they have sent someone to ask how long it will take to send rice and grain with them." ”

"It's not too late to make a decision after I've counted the numbers."

"The old slave understands you." Quanbo walked in front and guided, "Sanniang, please." With that, they walked in the direction of the warehouse.

Unexpectedly, suddenly two figures came in a hurry, and they rushed to Sanniang's front at once, which frightened Uncle Quan and those servants.

"Who are you?!" The vigilant gaze was all focused on the visitor.

The person who came was none other than Jiugong and Wang Dong, who were lying in ambush on the side, waiting for Sanniang to appear.

"Don't be nervous," Jiu Gong hurriedly explained, "Everyone is their own person, Zhang Laoquan, don't you really know me?" ”

"Are you...... Are you the old nine? Quan Bo looked at Jiugong, and finally remembered, and the expression on his face became relaxed.

Sanniang's eyes also looked at Wang Dong and Jiugong: "Jiugong? Why are you here? ”

Sanniang has a bad memory, and she will not fail to recognize Jiugong. After all, the wine shop outside the east of the city is under her care, although she has not been to the wine shop recently, but she still has some memories of the person in charge of the wine shop.

Since Sanniang took over the wine shop, he has transferred Jiugong's subordinates again and again, if it weren't for Wang Dong's arrival, he would have only been left with a bare commander in the wine shop.

At this moment, when he saw Sanniang, Jiugong's expression was a little complicated, and he seemed to have too much dissatisfaction with Sanniang in his heart.

But come to think of it, a good wine shop, now given up by Sanniang, how can he be happy as the previous head of the wine shop?

It's just that Jiugong has important things to do today, so he can only put aside his thoughts for the time being, and replied: "Sanniang, the old slave came today to get some flour from Sanniang. ”

"Flour?" Sanniang was stunned, "What, has the flour in the wine shop run out?" With that, her gaze turned to Uncle Quan on the side, "Uncle Tsuen, how long has it been since you delivered flour to the wine store?" ”

"This ...... There are few people in the liquor store, so the old slaves rarely transport in large quantities, and as for the most recent one, it was about three months ago. ”

"Before March, okay," Sanniang nodded, "Uncle Quan, send someone to transport a stone of flour grain to the wine store in a while." With that, Sanniang turned around and was about to walk in the direction of the warehouse.

Jiugong hurriedly said: "Sanniang, the number of stones, I'm afraid it's too little." ”

"One stone less?" Sanniang was stunned for a moment, looked at Jiugong, and pondered slightly, "Okay, Uncle Quan will add three more buckets." ”

"Sanniang, these rice grains...... Less than one-tenth of what the old slave needs......" Jiugong said, feeling a little ridiculous to himself.

"What?!" Everyone was shocked.

"Jiugong, aren't you crazy, why do you want so much flour in your wine shop?!" Quan Bo on the side pulled Jiugong's sleeve and told him not to speak again.
