Chapter 79: A dilemma
Shi Shuo lay on the rocking chair, looked at the heavy rain outside, and pulled the blanket on his body, not to mention, he liked rainy days the most, this weather is really fragrant to sleep on.
In addition, there are fewer people who come to eat here at this time, and there are more people in the restaurant, and he doesn't have to work.
Sure enough, as a rich man, the most important thing to do is to eat and sleep.
With a few small sums of money, this day is more chic than the emperor.
"Shi Shuo, so-and-so is here, where are you?" As soon as Li Shimin entered the restaurant, he began to look for Shi Shuo everywhere, and now he can't look for it.
Who would have thought that he was really told by this kid that his grain depot was all greedy by those moths.
If you can't get food, Chang'an City will definitely be in chaos.
And Shi Shuo, this kid, took a million loads of grain out last time.
This time, he also took three million taels to deal with the foreign envoys, and he didn't know how much his grain depot still had, whether it was enough to meet the urgency of Chang'an City.
And it's been raining for seven days in a row, and it looks like it's going to be next month.
Due to the large number of acquisitions by the two foreign envoys, so many rice shops under Shi Shuo's plate were closed.
The price of the rest of the rice row began to double.
If you don't think of a way to open Shi Shuo's rice rows, you'll starve to death.
As soon as Li Shimin opened the door on the third floor, he saw that Shi Shuo was actually sleeping, and it seemed that he was really asleep.
Good guy, he Li Shimin is going crazy on the side, he actually said that he will sleep, but he can't do anything about him, after all, he has something to ask him.
Shi Shuo heard the voice and woke up slowly, "Li Shimin, are you very idle?" ”
Don't go to his grain depot, come to him, it seems that the emperor is still quite idle.
Does he want to find him something to do?
Recently, he saw that the Wa Kingdom was very unpleasant, and decided to take Li Shimin to drive the expedition in person, so that he could know what it means to have people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky.
"No, I'm here to ask if you still have food, and if you can't find food, Chang'an City will be in chaos." Li Shimin looked at Shi Shuo's smile, and he was so frightened that he immediately said his purpose.
"There's no food, didn't you see it the other day? All the food in my mansion has been moved. ”
Shi Shuo didn't think about it, he refused directly, he is so poor now that he has money left, where is the food?
"Didn't you say that the other day? If you have any questions, they will come to you. ”
"Is there one?"
"As long as you can get food, no matter what the conditions, I will promise you, this is always okay."
Li Shimin looked at his reaction and knew that Shi Shuo wanted to take advantage of him.
"I do have food, but compared to your benefits, I like to see long-term benefits."
Li Shimin didn't expect that Shi Shuo actually rejected him, this was the first time he refused to cooperate with him.
"You just say, how do you want to give food to so-and-so."
Shi Shuo looked at him with an anxious look, "I still have 300,000 quintals of grain in the restaurant, and there are thousands of bags of flour in the mansion, if I give it to you, I will stop for a month, and I will not be able to open the store until the autumn harvest." ”
"Don't give it to you, your imperial power is there, you say, what should I do?"
Li Shimin was stunned, if he was Shi Shuo, this would be a big problem, on one side was the restaurant, and on the other side was the imperial power.
For him, as long as the business is closed, it is equivalent to him losing hundreds of thousands.
Once Li Shimin is given to him, he will only buy it at the previous price, which not only does not make money, but also has to pay him manpower and material resources.
He will be even more unhappy.
"You tell me the truth, is this really a dilemma?"
"Or else?" Shi Shuo looked at the heavy rain outside, and although he was in a dilemma, he was not without a way out.
But it will definitely be closed for two days for rectification.
After all, all the menus have to be changed and the chef has to learn again, which is not an easy task.
Li Shimin exhaled heavily, "So-and-so still wants to take away the grain, don't worry, so-and-so will try to compensate for your losses?" ”
"You have money in the treasury?"
"Don't say I didn't remind you, your share this month is not enough for my loss this time."
Shi Shuo looked at him, his eyes full of sympathy.
Li Shimin: This means that he cooperated with him this month, and he couldn't even get a penny.
"If this month is not enough, then take next month to make up for it."
"Okay, but if you call someone to do it, my people will give them a holiday."
……
Qi Bo watched those officials move bags of grain from the warehouse, his face was full of distress, and the restaurant was really going to close.
But he also knew that without Shi Shuo's consent, who would know that there would be food in this place.
"Qi Bo, call a few people, let's go out of the city and dig something."
Shi Shuo looked at those things, as long as Li Shimin compensated him, he would not feel distressed at all.
After all, it hurts for a while, and it won't hurt for a lifetime.
As soon as Chen Chumo and the others came to the restaurant, they saw the officials walking out carrying bags of grain.
And they also heard that the restaurant will be closed for the next month, waiting until after the autumn harvest.
This is the first time they have seen the restaurant closed, and they all have to admire Shi Shuo, who actually took out so much food to save Chang'an City at a critical moment.
"Unexpectedly, although Shi Shuo is a profiteer, he is quite reliable at the critical moment."
"If only we had the ability of him, maybe we wouldn't have to be beaten."
"So sometimes I really envy him, he understands everything, as if he wouldn't have done without him."
"He's only seventeen years old this year, and he's actually made an official, and we're still playing with mud now, no wonder my father always beats me, people are more popular than people."
"He's closing the door now, do you think there's a way for him to come back to life?"
"Don't you see?"
As soon as Shi Shuo went out, he saw Chen Chumo and others, but he just glanced at them casually, and left with a few people.
He can't protect himself now, what are they doing.
Chen Chumo and the others watched him leave like this, and hurriedly followed, "Divine doctor, wait for us, let's go together." ”
Chen Chumo was even bolder, and directly put his hand on Shi Shuo's shoulder, and smiled, "Brother, is there any way for you to come back to life now, and continue to drive?" ”
"Of course, I'm Shi Shuo, the notorious magic doctor, isn't it just a restaurant? What is the truth about the door? ”
Shi Shuo clasped his hands to his chest, looking confident, looking at Chen Chumo, looking at him up and down,
"You haven't been here in a few days, why are you going?"
"Don't mention it." As soon as Chen Chumo thought of this, he was very speechless, if it wasn't for his father forcing him, he would have been playing everywhere a long time ago.
"Then again, why don't you go to class in Guozijian? Depending on your money and status, it's easy to go to class. ”
