Chapter 150: Food Prices Soar
Let her pay for the merchant's land is a way for her to choose, but it can be used as renting their land. The rent money was given so that she could have peace of mind.
When Fu Bo heard this, he immediately understood what Su Wanniang meant.
Suddenly, I admired her a little.
In Fu Bo's eyes, Su Wanniang's performance of not loving money really surprised him. Just ask, how many people don't want to take advantage of it, and take advantage of it.
But now the woman in front of her is actually the kind of person who doesn't like gold and silver.
Su Wanniang didn't know what Fu Bo was thinking, and when she saw that he didn't speak, she reminded: "Fu Bo doesn't have to worry, I've already thought about it, so I will treat it as renting the merchant's land, and I will pay the rent!" ”
Fu Bo couldn't, and nodded: "That's the case, the old slave will recalculate." ”
So, Fauber could only resign himself to his fate, subtracting the silver spent on hiring people and the rent of the fields.
As for the so-called rental money, Fuber naturally calculates it according to the local price.
Fu Bo didn't know where to take out a small abacus from his waist and calculated it carefully.
Seeing him like this, Su Wanniang went to bring tea in person, only to find that Fu Bo was very fast in settling accounts.
Thinking that Fu Bo can stay in the business when he is old, it can be seen that he has a certain ability. No, in addition to the talent of leadership, Fauber can also beat the abacus to a loud scale.
Su Wanniang had nothing to do, so she stayed aside and calculated silently in her heart.
Because the salary and rent are easy to calculate, Fu Bo subtracted the account book and checked the account book to Su Wanniang again.
Su Wanniang waved her hand, she had already calculated in her heart: "Fu Bo is neat, my girl's personality, I am also very relieved!" ”
Hearing this, Fu Bo looked at Su Wanniang gratefully, and pulled out a small silver ticket from his purse, and then gave all the purse to Su Wanniang.
"Mrs. Xu, count!"
Su Wanniang took a casual look and put it away, and it didn't hurt to say anything.
At this end, as soon as he sent Fu Bo away, he didn't wait for Kong Miaoyu to come over to inquire about the matter, when he heard the courtyard door ring again.
Kong Miaoyu thought that Fu Bo had turned back, and walked over quickly to open the door. The people at the door were their own family, Kong Miaoyu saw the things behind them and said unconsciously: "What did you buy, why are there so many?" ”
Su Zhengping frowned when he heard this, and said, "Let's go in first, let's go in and talk about it!" ”
Seeing that Su Zhengping's expression was a little wrong, and Su Mingzhe was looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, Kong Miaoyu realized that it was not a good thing to be afraid.
After the father and son sent the coachman and put all the things they bought in the yard, they went into the house to irrigate the water.
"Drink slowly, no one will rob you!"
Tao Xiangru was startled when he saw Su Mingzhe pouring water like that, and he felt a little distressed in his heart, he had only come back after going out, and he must have been very tired.
"I'm fine!"
Although Su Mingzhe wanted to give his wife a smile, he suddenly couldn't laugh when he thought of the situation in the town.
Su Wanniang obviously sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and asked, "Didn't something happen to the eldest brother and daddy?" What ......?"
She didn't ask about the latter words.
The two men sitting in the room heard this, and after glancing at each other, they heard Su Mingzhe say slowly: "We went to the town early this morning, and we originally planned to buy some medium rice and go back." However, when I inquired at the grain and oil shop, the price of medium rice had risen to 20 wen a catty, and earlier, it was only in the early 10 wen. ”
Hearing Su Mingzhe's words, Su Wanniang's face was stunned, and then her expression became a little worried.
Suddenly the food went up, and it seems that other people should have received the news.
Could it be that someone is stockpiling grain?
Thinking of this, Su Wanniang became even more worried. After all, if someone can stock up on grain, there will be a shortage of food in various places at that time, and something big will inevitably happen!
Just thinking about it, I heard Su Mingzhe say again: "My father and I feel expensive, so we want to ask nearby." Then I inquired in the town and found out that the grain in the nearby town was at this price, because some people had already encountered the same thing when they went to the next town to buy it because it was too expensive. Even ......"
After a pause, Su Mingzhe pursed his lower lip: "I even heard that the medium rice in Jiangling County has risen to thirty Wen. ”
Elsewhere, they have not yet inquired.
No, they went to the grain and oil store, the little two were much more powerful than before, and if someone asked a few more words, they yelled at them and left without selling.
Besides, people on the street say that the price of food is going to go up.
There are a lot of people in the town, and there are more than twice as many people buying things as usual. There are even people from the surrounding towns coming.
When Su Wanniang heard this, her face suddenly became even more difficult to look at.
She didn't expect that she hadn't been there for a few days, and it had already become such a mess.
It seems that someone really got the news. However, this is not completely certain, after all, it is not known that this may be a business method of someone else!
"My father and I didn't buy much, only a hundred pounds in total. There are 30 catties of polished rice, and the price of polished rice has risen to 50 or 60 wen. We also bought some medium rice noodles. Eat these for more than a month! ”
This is just an estimate, the women in the family do not eat much, and there are not many children. Fortunately, the two men did not eat much.
"Did you hear anything else? Why did food prices suddenly skyrocket? Could it be that the people of the yamen don't care? ”
For such a major matter, the yamen should come forward to deal with it.
When Su Zhengping heard this, he was relieved by his daughter's carefulness, but there was a sigh on his face: "No matter what, the people from the Yamen also went to the shop to suppress it and asked them to lower the price of grain to the beginning." However, in order to stop people from looting, the people in the grain and oil shop can't do anything. ”
"Needless to say, Sanbao Town is a scholar, and they rarely eat it. However, the people in the town outside are coming to this side, but the price of food is lowered, and it is estimated that the surrounding areas will pour into Sanbao Town. Now, the town is all about it! ”
For the sake of stability, the people of the yamen are not without work.
However, in the end, it can't be stopped!
Su Wanniang nodded, thinking of a little relief and said, "This matter is not clear, in this case, I'll ask Miss Shang!" Her father traveled from south to north, and the news should be more accurate. ”
The family nodded, and even Kong Miaoyu became worried.
Su Wanniang went out with a calm face, and when she came to the business, she saw a carriage coming quickly. Kankan listened outside the door of the merchant.
'Bang Bang Bang'
"Quickly shutter, the master asked the little one to pick up the young lady and the young master to go back! Fast shutter speed! ”
The person who came to pick him up was about thirty years old, but he was tall and steady, and he looked like a man who could do two strokes.
The people inside immediately opened the door when they heard such a big movement, and Su Wanniang stood at the door for a while before slowly walking over.
The man walked in, knelt down on one knee in the courtyard, and arched his hand: "Miss, little boy, the master ordered me to come and pick up the two of you!" ”
When Shang Zisu heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?" Daddy is sick? ”
If it weren't for his illness, Shang Zisu couldn't find any other reason.
The person kneeling on the ground couldn't speak, thought about it and said, "The villain doesn't know, and I asked the eldest lady to clean up the soft and leave with the little boy." ”
Just as she was about to say something, Shang Zisu saw Su Wanniang and said to her, "Wanniang, why are you here?" ”
Su Wanniang didn't hide it, frowned and puzzled: "Zisu, that's the case, when my brother was shopping in the town, he found that the price of rice and noodles had skyrocketed, so I was a little worried, so I came to ask." ”
