Chapter 106: Taking advantage of the situation

Chapter 106 Attack by Chance

"There is nothing more great than saving the car, and there is no more poison than starving food. Burning the granary, Zheng Sanyang-"What a big spirit, such a ruthless heart, Wang Qifang looked at the faces of everyone present, swallowed the second half of the sentence back with great insight, and changed his words, "Zheng Sanyang estimated that there was no other way, and he was ready to jump off the wall in a hurry." ”

"Not prepared, but already done"

Uncle Li Chang sighed deeply, and his eyes flashed with unmistakable distress - it was really his Lingtang, it was nearly two thousand stone of grain, and it was a lot of money to exchange it for silver, and it was a pity that it was burned by the Zheng family like this.

"Yes, this Zheng family is too poisonous, and he actually came up with a poisonous plan to burn our grain," Li Maoxiang was young after all, and when he thought of his opponent's despicable behavior, his face turned blue with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "We can't just forget it, master, cousin, let's report to the official, and let the government investigate the Zheng family well." ”

"What about the officer? Since the Zheng family dares to do this, they must have thought of a countermeasure, if I guessed correctly, if the government goes to investigate, Zheng Sanyang will throw out a few little minions as scapegoats, as for wanting to move him, you don't even think about it. ”

Uncle Li Chang shook his head, not holding out any hope for the government.

"Hehe, what the third uncle said is right, but my cousin's words also make sense, according to Qi Niang, this official will definitely report it."

Although in Wang Qifang's view, the burned grain is not worth anything, but for the current situation in the famine year, Zheng Sanyang actually burned the good grain in order to fight the opponent...... Don't he know, not to mention a mountain of 2,000 stone of grain, even a small handful of grain can save a person's life.

In other words, Zheng Sanyang burned not food, but human life

It's just that, as the third uncle said, she can't do anything about Zheng Sanyang now, but the cycle of karma is not happy, people are watching the sky, sooner or later, Zheng Sanyang will pay the price for his ruthlessness.

"Alas, whether you report to the official or not, these are all later words. What we are currently concerned about is how to deal with the new round of panic in Qingzhou."

Uncle Li Chang raised his hand slightly, interrupted Wang Qifang's words, rubbed his eyebrows, and said a little tiredly.

Originally, because of Wang Qifang's joining, the Li family had turned the tide of the war and occupied a powerful position. Now a fire has burned all the previous efforts.

Qingzhou has returned to the way it was two days ago, and even worse than then.

Because, the Zheng family did not open today under the pretext of closing the door yesterday, and the Qian family continued to give full play to the characteristics of the wall grass, and saw that the follow-up grain was burned, so they also closed the grain store.

As for the other small grain shops, after seeing the Li family's low-price grain sales, they thought that the price of the grain they had easily hoarded would fall, and they were all ready to sell grain with sad faces, but they did not expect that the situation would be reversed overnight, and there would be no grain in Qingzhou.

In this way, these small grain merchants were simply overjoyed, and they guarded the grain one after another, and continued to sit and wait for the grain to rise.

In the whole of Qingzhou, no matter how big or small, the grain stacks are all closed, and except for a small amount of grain sold in Li Ji on the street, there is not a single grain store open for business.

"Yes, the grain that my cousin brought this time was just enough for Qingzhou and Haicheng to calm the market, but now the grain in Qingzhou is burned, and Haicheng can't transfer grain to the past, and the situation in Qingzhou is at an impasse again, this problem is a little tricky."

Li Maoxiang also scratched the back of his head and said helplessly.

"Hehe, third uncle, cousin, it is difficult to solve this dilemma, and it is easy to say."

Wang Qifang saw the sad faces of their father and son, smiled slightly, and hurriedly comforted, "Qi Niang has a way, but I don't know if it's appropriate." ”

"Huh? What's the solution? Now it has reached the critical moment of the exhibition, and if you are transporting grain from other places, you will not be able to catch up. ”

When Uncle Li Chang heard Wang Qifang's words, his eyes lit up, and then he thought of something, and said with a little loss.

Alas, the only way is to wait for food from other places, but then the best opportunity is missed, and the Li family is likely to lose.

"No, this time on the island that Grandma Shi San sold me, I found a large amount of grain. In addition to these rice, sorghum and wheat, there are many 'golden rice'. ”

Wang Qifang has long wanted to push out corn, but people have little understanding of corn, and if there is no suitable time to promote it, even if she wants people to plant it, people will ignore her.

And now, the grain in the dock warehouse was accidentally burned, and Qingzhou fell into a grain panic again.

"'Golden Rice'? Is that the corn cob you gave us to taste? ”

Uncle Li Chang was stunned when he heard this, and then thought that after his niece came to Haicheng, he asked the kitchen people to make a boiled corn for the first meal.

"That's right, this 'golden rice', oh, that's what I said about corn on the cob, but it's a good thing, I heard Kunlun Nu who followed Third Young Master Shi say that this corn can be eaten as both a vegetable and a grain, and it is the most economical crop."

Wang Qifang felt that 'golden rice' was awkward, so she still called it by its original name.

As for the method of corn, she was also very disgraceful, and simply pushed it on the third young master Shi who had disappeared a long time ago.

He's dead anyway, and he won't pick it out to refute it. And the third uncle will not condescend to ask Kunlun Nu for these trivial things.

Therefore, she said that the way to eat corn was invented by Third Young Master Shi, and that was invented by Third Young Master Shi.

On the third day after the fire, the grain market in Qingzhou was still silent, and both buyers and sellers seemed to be waiting, waiting for the Li family's response.

"Hehe, what should I do if I see the Li family this time? If he brings grain again, I will serve him Uncle Li Chang."

Zheng Sanyang came to the front line again, and through the gap in the closed door panel, he looked at the opposite side triumphantly.

"Huh? The owner, the Li family has opened the door again, do they still have a margin? ”

The grain that was transported into the Li family's warehouse that day was only three to five hundred stones, and now that it has been sold for two days, it should be sold out.

"Hmph, it's just gritting your teeth and holding on."

Zheng Sanyang waved his hand disdainfully, sat in the lobby, pondered for a moment, and ordered, "Go, beckon the guys to open the door of the store, and we will also sell grain." Twenty wen per bucket"

In the past two days, the people have been watching, and there are not many people buying grain, so he wants to add fire to the grain market.

"Twenty wen? Owner, are we going to lower the price? ”

Shopkeeper Zheng didn't understand Zheng Sanyang's intentions for a while, and asked in a daze.

"That's right, price reduction" Isn't there a saying that retreat is advance, and the grain price in Qingzhou is his Zheng someone's final say, if it goes down today, he will rise it back tomorrow. At that time, there must have been no food left over from the other door.

"Yes, yes, the little one will be ordered"

When the shopkeeper Zheng saw that Zheng Sanyang looked confident, he knew that his master had already taken a countermeasure, and he hurriedly retreated to do something.

After a while, the people who came to see the excitement suddenly found that Zheng Ji, who had been closed for several days, had opened the door, and he also hung up a sign that said 'Today's grain price, 20 wen per bucket'.

"Oh my God, I, I'm not mistaken, Zheng Ji has also reduced the price? What's going on? ”

The onlookers rubbed their eyes and shouted in disbelief.

"Hmph, he's forcing us to lower the price together."

Li Lizhong stood at the door with his hands and looked at it, and when he saw the price of grain at the door, he understood Zheng Sanyang's sinister intentions after a little thought.

"Shopkeeper, what should we do? Is the price also reduced? ”

The second shopkeeper also saw the price of food on the other side, and his spirit was lifted and he suggested.

The owner originally wanted to reduce the price of grain in Qingzhou to the minimum, but now, Zheng Ji, as an opponent, has also lowered the price, are they taking advantage of the situation to pursue?

Take advantage of the situation to pursue? If he had food, he would have pursued it.

Li Lizhong shook his head helplessly, alas, doing business is not gambling, let alone being as you like, thinking of the flying pigeon of the owner's book, he raised his hand and commanded, "Leave them alone, first move the stone mill and steamer out, and then let the guys with families call the family, let's busy our own." ”

"Yes, the little ones are going"

The second shopkeeper saw that Li Lizhong said seriously, and hurriedly agreed to go down to prepare.

"Hey, you see, Li Ji's guy is also out"

"Huh? What are they doing here? How did you lift the stone mill out, could it be that you want to sell grain as a street mill? ”

"Yes, it is difficult for the Li family to be confused, and deliberately make a hollow mill to disgust the Zheng family"

The onlookers, seeing that Li Ji's men were busy in and out for a long time, not only set up a stone mill for grinding grain at the door, but also set up a thick stove, and talked about it one after another.

Zheng Sanyang was also confused by the behavior of the door, and stood at the door and looked curiously. The guys behind him were whispering, talking about similar things to the people outside.

In the face of everyone's doubts, Li Ji's people did not explain, but continued to work with their heads bored.

I saw them take out a full sack from the store, and when they untied it in public, they revealed golden grains.

The second steward personally went into battle, scooped some particles with a gourd scoop, and poured them on the stone mill.

Seeing this, the young man with the edge of the stone grinder hurriedly spat twice on his hand, grabbed the handle of the stone mill and pushed it hard.

In this way, under the gaze of the onlookers, Li Ji's men grinded the golden particles into noodles, and then a few ladies in coarse cloth clothes reconciled the noodles and made small dough the size of tea cups by hand.

In the mixed yellow dough, some are mixed with chopped wild vegetables, some are mixed with ground beans, and some are mixed with red dates, and then these noodles are kneaded into nests and placed neatly on the cage drawer.

At this time, the water in the big iron pot was boiling, and the ladies put the cage drawer in the pot and covered the pot.

Two quarters of an hour later, a sweet fragrance that had never been smelled came out with the heat in the cauldron, causing the onlookers to sniff and hiss~~ What is this, it is so fragrant
