Chapter 165 Buying Grain
Mu Zixi: "When we wake up, we quickly wash up, and then we buy food, and we can go back to Pengzhou." ”
Xiao Qi then remembered that time was pressing.
After she finished washing, she quickly took out the black baggage hidden in the basket.
Mu Ziqi felt that this black burden looked familiar, so he asked, "This is?" ”
Xiao Qi closed the doors and windows and walked in front of Mu Zixi, "If you swear not to say it, I will tell you." ”
Mu Zishan raised his hand, "I, Mu Zichen, swear never to say it." ”
Xiao Qi untied the baggage, and it was full of all kinds of jewelry.
Mu Ziqi felt more and more strange, "Where did you get this from?" ”
"If you swore not to tell anyone, don't break your word. Let me tell you, this is what Aunt Xi and I picked up from outside the Wanbao Silver Building. ”
Mu Ziqi: "Did you pick it up at night?"
"Yes, Mu Gongzi is really smart, he actually guessed all of them!"
Mu Ziqi finally understood that the person who stopped outside the Wanbao Silver Building that night was the girl in front of him.
Mu Ziqi often listened to the storyteller in the teahouse tell the story of the flying hero in Pengzhou, and felt that Feng Wanbao was really hateful, so he thought about punishing him.
He planned for a long time before he put it into action, but he didn't expect to be cut off by Xiao Qi and the others for the first time.
"Mu Gongzi is from everyone, he must know a lot about jewelry, I plan to exchange all these for city money, I like my aunt wants to open a pen and ink shop, and when the time comes, she can help more poor people by making more money."
"I didn't expect you, this little woman, to take it as your mission to help the poor."
Xiao Qi raised his chin, "Of course, my master said that when you join the Flying Heaven Sect, you must take it as your responsibility to help the poor people." ”
Mu Ziqi glanced at Xiao Qi carefully, "Are you talking about the legendary Flying Sect?" ”
Xiao Qi nodded, "It's like a fake." ”
"No wonder you're better than me in everything, it's because you have a more powerful master."
Xiao Qi still nodded, "My master said, if I practice hard, I will be even more powerful than the senior brothers who are in the advanced sect." ”
Mu Zixi, how come this girl doesn't know modesty.
Xiao Qi walked to Mu Ziqi's room next to him and woke up Ah Mo as well.
Ah Mo rubbed his eyes after getting up: "Morning, little seventh girl, early, childe-"
"Ah, Childe, am I getting up too late?"
"The sun is all on your buttocks, hurry up and wash up."
After a few people cleaned up, they went downstairs to eat something at random, called the Wang brothers, and went out with the wine Jin Lingchun.
Passing by a high-end liquor shop, Xiao Qi walked in with his feet raised and gently put Jin Lingchun on the counter.
Ah Mo stood beside Xiao Qi and asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, do you recycle Jinlingchun?" ”
The shopkeeper carefully inspected Jin Lingchun's jar and made sure that it had not been opened, so he said: "One hundred taels of silver for one altar." ”
Xiao Qi was a little disappointed when he heard this: "Shopkeeper, are you sure you are not mistaken?" Doesn't this wine say that it is hard to buy? How is it only a hundred taels of silver? ”
"It's hard to buy, it means it's hard to buy, not that it's really worth a thousand dollars. We sold two pots in the store yesterday, and it was only two hundred taels of silver per pot, and it was still bookkeeping. ”
Ah Mo muttered quietly: "It shouldn't have been bought by Governor Jiang yesterday." ”
Xiao Qi didn't give up, and continued to ask: "You sell two hundred taels of silver for one jar, how can you recycle only one hundred taels." ”
"Girl, we sell it for two hundred taels of silver per jar, and recycling is naturally discounted."
Ah Mo looked at the wine jar with a tangled face, he hugged him all the way from the inn, his arms were sore, and he really didn't want to hug him anymore.
Xiao Qi: "One hundred taels is one hundred taels, please hurry up." ”
Out of the liquor shop, Xiao Qi and a few people found a few grain shops, each of which bought tens of thousands of catties, all of which were settled in cash.
Someone over there had already gone to the yamen to report to Wu Gui.
"Master, didn't you let me follow those guys?"
"They have already bought several food stores along the street, and they are almost at the grain shop opened by the wife."
The person who came to report looked like a thief, and the two inverted eight-figure eyebrows kept shaking while talking, and they were very happy to look at.
Wu Gui waved his hand, "You-go and inform your wife to increase the price and sell it to them at double the price." ”
When the thief-eyed man heard Wu Gui's words, he immediately trotted away.
Wu Gui immediately did not see the Jiang Governor's Mansion, which was sitting in front of the case and taking a nap.
Wu Gui: "My lord, Mu Gongzi and his party have bought tens of thousands of catties of grain, it turns out that they came to Jinling City to buy food, I heard that many victims fled to Pengzhou City, and they are now very short of food." ”
Governor Jiang "continued to keep an eye on them, and reported any abnormalities immediately." ”
After Wu Gui left the yamen, he went to his own Wu Ji grain and oil shop with a big belly.
Not long after he entered, Xiao Qi and a few people entered.
After entering, I looked around and saw that the shop was also full of food.
Xiao Qi pointed to a rice basket and said, "Do you have a lot of this kind of ordinary rice in your shop?" How much a pound? ”
Man: "A lot, we have a lot of them in our backyard, eight cents a pound." ”
Ah Mo's eyes widened and said, "Other shops only sell four wen a catty, but your family actually sells eight wen?" ”
The guy stiffened his neck: "The price set by our shopkeeper, do you like to buy it or not."
Xiao Qi and a few people left without buying the food from Wu Ji's shop.
Wu Gui's wife hid in the cubicle, listened to all the conversations between Xiao Qi and his buddies, and saw that the big customers who were delivered to the door were scared away by the high price, so she immediately grabbed Wu Gui's fat ears and scolded her.
Wu Gui hugged his head, "Madam, don't be angry, when they buy all the grain from other families, let's not talk about twice the price, three times can be sold." ”
Wu Gui is afraid of his wife, because his wife is not small, and she is the sister-in-law of the prefect's wife.
After walking a short distance out of the shop, Mu Ziqi said: "Wu Ji's shop may have been opened by Wu Gui's family, before we went in, I saw Wu Gui go in, and then when we went in, he hid." ”
Ah Mo turned around and snorted in the direction of Wu Ji's shop, "Then Wu Gui is not a good person." ”
Xiao Qi couldn't cry or laugh a little, but he didn't expect the young master of the prefect to learn this action.
The men turned two more streets and bought food from several shops and more than 20 mule carts.
Let all the stores be sent to the Longming Inn, and the matter of receiving food will be handed over to the Wang brothers.
The Longming Inn couldn't fit it anymore, so the proprietress helped them rent the backyard of the shop next to them.
Xiao Qi was a little worried, "We bought so much grain, will it raise the price of rice in Jinling City very high?" If the price of rice rises very high, the people in Jinling City will have a hard time, and you can see that Wu Ji, who we went to during the day, has doubled the price. ”
"No, I paid a deposit of 1,000 taels to the largest grain and oil shop in Jinling, and asked them to order some additional grain, and I will pull it in a few days, and the shopkeeper told me that they transported a batch of grain from Jiangnan, and they will be able to arrive in Jinling in two days."
Xiao Qi looked pity, "It's a pity that we don't have enough manpower, otherwise we can wait two more days and transport more grain back to Pengzhou." ”
