169 Soybean price increases
After buying the villagers' soybeans, Jiang Mengliang called Zhou Huihui and Jiang Xiaonian over to discuss the matter.
Jiang Xiaonian felt strange, even if there were more sunny days this summer, there was occasional rain in the middle, so that the price of soybeans would not rise so much as it would be dry.
It seems that the county grain store purchased soybeans at a high price, which moved the villagers of Dongshizhuang.
But there is no reason for the grain store in the county to suddenly buy a large number of soybeans!
Jiang Xiaonian thinks left and right, he thinks it's wrong, this matter can be big or small, if the soybeans are sold to the county, the Jiang family's tofu business will be really difficult to do.
Thinking about this, she decided to go to the county to see the situation in person.
Just send Xiao Jin and this big Buddha back.
After greeting Jiang Mengliang and Zhou Huihui, Jiang Xiaonian pulled Xiao Jinhe and rode away.
"What are you doing in such a hurry to the county? It's never too late to go again tomorrow. ”
"You don't understand, time is money, if such a big matter is not solved as soon as possible, it will not be a loss of one or two taels of silver, I have to race against time."
Xiao Jinhe looked at her serious analysis, and really felt a little bit like a businessman.
She is a child from a peasant family who has never read a book, so she really can't figure out why she has this kind of awareness.
Because of the fast horseback riding, the two arrived in the county in less than two hours.
Sure enough, many people who planted soybeans nearby drove soybeans to the city in cars.
Jiang Xiaonian got off the horse, found a grain shop that bought soybeans, and asked the people who had already bought the price of soybeans, and everyone said that it was four cents a catty.
Jiang Xiaonian looked at the endless stream of people in the grain store suspiciously, and still couldn't understand what they were doing with the soybeans they bought.
And with such a high price, it is simply incomprehensible.
Jiang Xiaonian immediately pulled over a person on the street, gave him ten cents, and asked him to ask the grain store what the price was for soybeans.
The man took the money and happily asked, and after a while, he came back and said, "I asked just now, the soybeans in the shop are sold for ten cents a catty, and he also said that if you don't buy it now, the price will increase in the future." ”
Jiang Xiaonian nodded and let him go.
She touched her chin and thought that soybeans could not be more expensive than rice, and if so, no one would buy them.
Since no one buys it, what does the store do with soybeans?
After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Who says no one buys? Doesn't her family want to buy soybeans all year round?!
If she didn't guess wrong, the county's grain store's move was aimed at their Jiang family!
When I think about this, all the incomprehension makes sense.
She walked up to Xiao Jinhe on the side and said, "Little Hou Ye, I have something I want to ask you for help." ”
"Oh? Are you going to give me back that jade pendant? ”
Jiang Xiaonian glanced at him and said, "You want to be beautiful, this little favor requires me to return the jade pendant." Forget it, I'm not looking for you, I'll find someone else. ”
Then turn around and leave.
Xiao Jinhe didn't expect to tease her a little and leave, so he hurriedly stopped her and said, "Don't go yet, tell me something?" ”
Jiang Xiaonian turned around and looked up at him, and said with a smile: "I just said that you won't help with this little thing, I want you to check who the bosses behind these soybean shops are, and it's best to find out their background." ”
"Do you think there is a problem with these stores?"
"Whether there is a problem or not, it is better to know yourself and your opponent than not to know anything, don't you say?"
Xiao Jinhe smiled and nodded.
He felt more and more that the person in front of him did not look like a little girl in her early tens, and this mind was more detailed than many adults he knew.
"It could take a day to get to the bottom of them."
"Well, it's okay, I'm just going to see Master."
The matter of Liangpi at home has been entrusted to Fleur to manage it with full authority, and I believe she can do it well.
"Then let's go to the capital together?"
"Okay."
Jiang Xiaonian is still the first time to come to Duanwangfu, because she is wearing a light gauze wide-brimmed hat, she is not afraid of being recognized by people on the right.
Besides, the capital is so big, and the right minister doesn't come out to hang out every day, so the chance of encountering it is still quite small.
There were two guards at the door, and Jiang Xiaonian stepped forward and took out a token from his arms.
This token was given to her by Liang Qingyin when she went to the villa for the first time, saying that she could enter and leave Duanwang's mansion freely with this.
Sure enough, when the two guards looked at the token, their expressions were much more respectful, and they saluted Jiang Xiaonian.
"Welcome home."
Jiang Xiaonian raised her eyebrows when she heard their name, but she didn't expect Liang Qingyin to let the people in Fuzhong treat her as a lady in Fuzhong.
This master did not admit it in vain.
She swaggered in, and when she reached the door, she remembered something and asked the guard, "Is the prince in the mansion?" ”
For someone like her master who wanders around and is idle, it is estimated that he is not in the mansion at all.
Sure enough, I heard the guard's report: "The prince is not in the mansion, but his subordinates can send someone to ask the prince to come back." ”
Jiang Xiaonian waved his hand and said, "No need, I don't have anything to do to find him, let him be chic outside, and he will return home in the evening." ”
The guard at the door was stunned, and the young lady was really too casual with the prince.
Not long after Jiang Xiaonian entered the mansion, the housekeeper hurriedly ran over.
"I don't know if Miss is back home, I miss the welcome, I hope Miss won't blame."
Jiang Xiaonian was a little unaccustomed to such a polite attitude towards the middle and lower people in Duanwang's Mansion, and smiled awkwardly: "No need to be polite, I want to stay here for one night, is there a room that can be arranged?" ”
"Yes, the prince ordered it before, the young lady's courtyard is in the red snow garden east of the palace, and the old slave asked the young lady to take the young lady over."
Jiang Xiaonian nodded, she didn't expect that the master was quite righteous, and specially set up a courtyard for her in the palace.
Follow the maid to the Red Snow Garden.
After arriving at Hongxue Garden, Jiang Xiaonian was shocked.
The grounds are full of plum trees, and although they no longer bloom, the leaves are growing brilliantly and lushly.
Even the pavilion in the courtyard is decorated with a lot of red plums.
When I opened the door of the room, I saw that the screen that greeted me was also painted with red plums.
Jiang Xiaonian couldn't help muttering: "I don't particularly like red plums, why did Master arrange my yard like this?" ”
The little maid next to her replied: "Hongxueyuan has been arranged like this a long time ago, but no one has lived in it, or a while ago, the prince specially instructed the housekeeper to let us clean up this place and give it to the young lady to live." ”
Jiang Xiaonian nodded: "So that's the case." ”
But she still didn't understand why Master had arranged such a courtyard for her.
In the evening, Jiang Xiaonian asked his subordinates to prepare a lot of ingredients, and then asked the housekeeper to send someone to inform Liang Qingyin and let him come back for dinner.
She plans to cook herself and cook a sumptuous dinner to honor her master.
Liang Qingyin was drinking with Huo Fei in the restaurant, and Huo Fei's grandson Huo Jingming was accompanying him.
