Chapter 53: Buying Grain
In fact, she was already planning how to buy food, although the time was a little late, but it should still be in time, and she couldn't miss this opportunity no matter what.
Although she doesn't want to be too showy, only by becoming stronger and better can she have more autonomy and protect the people around her.
Instead of being like before, as the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, she can only live by the shade of others, and once the big tree behind her falls, she can only be reduced to fish and meat on the board and slaughtered by others.
Relying on others can never be relied on, only when you are strong can you hold the people and things you want to protect.
After waking up, she also thought a lot, the power of the Suguo Mansion was in full swing, and she was quite loved as her grandfather's only niece, and many people were staring at her.
Let's not talk about the Ji Mansion behind her for the time being, if the overthrow of the Suguo Mansion in the previous life, if there was no jealousy and acquiescence of the superiors, how could a letter of rebellion from unknown origin be convicted.
Flowers are brocade, fire is cooking oil, having said that, if you blindly endure and bow your head, the butcher knife hanging above your head will fall sooner or later, but sooner or later.
It's better to face the difficulties, since God let her live again, it is to give her a chance to redeem her regrets, even if it is only a small beginning, she will cherish it and go all out to win more chips for herself.
It's just that there is still a little guilt in her heart, but this is a natural disaster, not something she can stop alone, if this matter is done well, it can not only save thousands of lives, but also win opportunities for herself, which can be regarded as a good result.
On the second day, as Yan Bing said, the rain had passed and the sky was clear, Ji Wan stood under the corridor and looked up at the white sky, still with a solemn face.
"Miss, hasn't the rain stopped? Don't overthink it. Yan Bing reassured.
"Yan Bing, you go and order someone to set up a car, let's go out, by the way, call the three of them to listen to the rain together."
"Miss, what are we going out for?" Yan Bing was puzzled.
"Buy grain." Ji Wan decisively left two words, turned around and went back to the house.
Yan Bing hesitated and stood in place and thought for a moment, then stomped his feet and turned around towards the west side of the courtyard.
"Mama, are you going to persuade Miss?"
"What's going on, tell me about it." When Mama Chen heard that it was Ji Wan's matter, she hurriedly put down the guy in her hand.
Yan Bing told what happened last night and just now, and Mama Chen sighed after hearing it.
After a while, he raised his cloudy old eyes and looked at Yan Bing, and said seriously: "You stupid girl, why do you live more and more, I see that Miss is now a lot more thoughtful than before, since she has her own ideas like this, what we have to do is to listen to the instructions and do things well, but we can't rely on our own good intentions, I want to take care of everything, and I unconsciously do things that exceed the norm." ”
Yan Bing's expression narrowed when he heard this, and he unconsciously reflected, since the young lady treated them closer than before, he had indeed relaxed a lot.
It's really confused, the young lady treats them so well, they should serve them well, how can they lose their duty because of this.
Yan Bing bowed to Mama Chen gratefully: "Thank you Mama for your teachings, Yan Bing understands." ”
Mama Chen knew that she really listened to her when she looked at her, and she was very pleased.
"Then Mama, you are busy first, and the slave will go and do the things that the young lady has explained."
"Let's go." Mama Chen shook her head and smiled.
Ji Wan went back to the house to change his clothes, and ordered Qinglu to bring the silver ticket, and several people hurriedly got into the carriage.
Ji Wan was not in the mood to play this time, and the carriage stopped directly at the door of Liang Ji Rice Shop.
In the last life, she married Xu Yuze and took over the management of Zhongfang, and the eating, drinking, and Lazar of the whole house were all pressed on her, and several Zhuangzi under her could not make ends meet.
At that time, the steward who was responsible for buying grain, oil, rice and noodles secretly ate kickbacks, and later she personally negotiated matters with several big treasurers in Kyoto.
The shopkeeper of this Liang Ji rice shop is quite kind, and the price given is also the fairest.
Qinglu and a few girls got out of the carriage first, and then helped Ji Wan down.
There were no customers in the shop, and three or two guys were lying on the counter bored.
Seeing that there was a carriage parked at the door of the store, one by one immediately cheered up, and when they saw that it was a young girl walking down inside, they couldn't help but show doubts.
At first glance, I knew that she was a pampered daughter, and she had nothing to do with what she was doing in their place where she sold food.
"This young lady, are you in the wrong place, we are a place to sell grain, not rouge gouache." A guy stepped forward and asked.
Ji Wan didn't care about him, and said, "I'm here to buy food." ”
The man's eyes lit up immediately: "How much food does the girl want to buy, the little one can be sent back to the house for you in a while." ”
"I have too much food to buy, you can't be the master, what about the shopkeeper, I want to talk to your shopkeeper." Ji Wan said with a faint expression.
"The girl will sit inside for a while, and the little one will call the shopkeeper." Although the guy was puzzled, he didn't dare to slack off, if it was really a big business ruined by him, he didn't want to continue to do this work, and hurriedly led Ji Wan to the inner hall.
After a while, a middle-aged man with a goatee and a dark blue color came.
"Liang is the shopkeeper of this Liang Ji rice shop, but the girl is looking for me?"
Ji Wan smiled slightly and nodded: "It's me looking for Shopkeeper Liang." ”
Shopkeeper Liang glanced at him slightly, seeing that her demeanor was down-to-earth and generous, very polite, not like an ordinary little girl of this age, she didn't dare to despise it at the moment, and asked, "How much food does the girl want to buy?" ”
Ji Wan stretched out his hand and compared a number, the shopkeeper Liang was startled, and subconsciously asked, "What is the girl doing with so much food?" ”
"I have my own use, and Shopkeeper Liang doesn't need to ask, I don't know how many of them are in your store."
"It's Liang who is in love, there is, but there is not so much new grain, I don't know what the girl is for, if it is old grain, there are still some of them."
Ji Wan said with a smile: "I have always heard that Shopkeeper Liang is very fair in business, but when I saw it today, it was indeed the case." ”
"Girl Miao praised."
"I don't know how much money is for this grain in Shopkeeper Liang."
"Twenty cents of new grain is a load, and this old grain is fifteen cents a load."
Ji Guan's eyes flashed a touch of cunning: "Isn't Shopkeeper Liang joking, it stands to reason that this year's harvest is better than in previous years, and the price of this grain should be cheaper, why is this price even higher than before." ”
The shopkeeper Liang was stunned, stroked his beard, and couldn't help but glance at Ji Wan a few more times, thinking that she was a young lady who didn't touch the spring water with ten fingers, but she thought it was bad: "Liang doesn't go around the bend with the girl, the girl says the number, if it's not suitable, we can discuss it again." ”
