Chapter 55: I'll Tell You
"You!" The famous Yu Xia, the woman nicknamed Caifeng, raised her eyebrows, but she was afraid of the other party's strength and didn't dare to stop her, "Don't the two sons say two fair words?" ”
Jin Meng glanced at Shi Ping and said, "Let's start." ”
"The two sons no longer think about it? One more day is the entry of white flowers. Fan An was still unwilling.
The two shook their heads decisively and said: "Boss Guan is right, people must be content, if there are still people who don't want to get off the boat and want to continue, we won't stop them."
It's just that the ugly words come to the front, in case something happens, don't climb other people, take care of yourself. ”
Everyone got up when they heard the explanation, and even the unwilling Gan Hong and Fan An could only nod in agreement.
"Then my price will prevail!"
The two sons nodded, what else could the others say?
Seeing this, Guan De directly pushed open the door and walked out, opened his mouth and said: "Fifty wen per catty of rice and wheat, the whole city supplies it." ”
"Boss Guan, you have all supplied the whole city, what about us? Can you leave us some soup and water? A speculator asked.
Guan De looked at the other party, and it should be said that he looked at everyone present and said loudly: "You only need to help us deliver the news, and give you a penny for a catty." ”
"This ......"
"What? Too little? Then you are not afraid of 'death' in our hands? Guan De made a joke, and the parasites present were so frightened that they quickly agreed.
Liu Xinju's grain release points are all over the capital, and there are them on every decent street.
Donghuamen Street is naturally no exception, and the location is in the Dongguojia grain shop, no way, ready-made location, people are willing to help, why not Liu Xinju?
Almost all conscience shops took this job, and the popularity that was originally depressed because the stock was sold out recovered in a blink of an eye.
Dongguo Ziyu carried a bag of rice from the backyard to the storefront, and put it on the ground with a muffled pop, and his body was covered with earth.
"Dad, there's not much food to be sent out." Dong Guo Ziyu was worried.
These words did not avoid people, so they naturally attracted the attention of the people in line, and they couldn't wait to put their ears on Dongguo's house.
Dong Guo Sheng hurriedly winked at his son: "Cough! Ziyu, you go to the shopkeeper of Liu Xinju and ask him to quickly transfer a few hundred stones, rest assured, neighbors, there is a lot of food in Liu Xinju! ”
Dong Guo Ziyu's desire to speak again and again finally ended in his father's repeated hints, and he agreed sullenly and went to the backyard.
"Come on, come on, everyone! Prepare the bags in advance, we still have three or two rations per family, don't panic! Dong Guo Sheng greeted, and the people gradually calmed down.
It's just the tail position of the line, I don't know when a fat man came, holding the cloth bag in his hand, and patting the shoulder of the person in front of him.
When the man turned around, he saw that it was a fat man who kept wiping sweat, and he didn't know it, so he did

Some warily asked, "What do you do?" ”
The fat man pointed to the grain shop in front of him and said, "I heard that Liu Xinju's grain is almost finished, do you know about this?" ”
The man in front of him was stunned for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "No!" Didn't they say that millions of stone grains had been prepared? Why is it gone so quickly? ”
"Hey! You don't know! The summer grain in the south has been harvested, and now the news has just come, saying that the reduction in production is worse than that of our north, and their Liu Xinju's grain will be robbed in the south in the middle of the road! The fat man said matter-of-factly.
"No, it won't! The south is the land of fish and rice, how can it be more serious than us! ”
The exclamation of the man in front had already attracted the attention of those in front, and it had not been long before they had converged into a small group.
The fat man stood in the middle and slapped his thigh and said, "Who says it's not!" That's what I thought at first!
Later, when I heard it, I realized that they had never seen such a cold day in their food, so they were as pampered as people, right?
It was cold suddenly, it was a piece of death, and now I heard that there are no grains in many places! ”
"Oh! That's right, not to mention the perennial warmth, just every year in winter, how many people get cold, so why is this half! "Someone laughed.
For a while, all the people who came around were also worried, thinking about where their livelihood would be in the future.
The fat man smiled and said, "I just came to line up to get food, and after receiving it, I went to the shop of Guangde Commercial Bank to buy it."
Now I heard that those big businessmen snatched back a lot of grain from the south, although it is a bit expensive, it is better than not having food, right?
Hey, let's get through this difficulty first, and the autumn grain will come down. ”
"What? Guangde Commercial Bank has food? There was another exclamation, which attracted the eyes of the people in line in front of them.
"Ahh I've heard more than that! Whatever you want, the bigger shops have grain for sale.
Oops, forget it, hurry up, don't go too late and can't buy it again! ”
As soon as the fat man said this, he was anxious and sweated again, and the grain bag in his hand was really thrown on the ground, and the meat on his body ran away as soon as he shook it.
Among the remaining few people, some of them wore gold and silver, and they no longer hesitated and followed the fat man together.
"Hey, have you heard? The south is even worse than ours! ”
"Oh, why don't I go? There's no way, I don't have any money, let's live one day, but I think you should be a scholar, so you can't break the incense! ”
For a time, through the spread of people with hearts, the disaster in the south far exceeded that in the north, and it was spread to everyone's ears by those with noses and eyes.
However, it is not nonsense to say that Liu Xinju's food is running out, Wang Yan was originally to invite people to buy people's hearts, and I am afraid that only a very limited part of the millions of grain he bought were returned.
As soon as Dong Guo Sheng, who was serious about distributing grain, looked up, he saw that the original long queue had been shortened
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
More than half, a little puzzled asked Zhang Jingye, who was selling meat next to him: "What about people?" Don't want any food? ”
Zhang Jingye smiled and said, "I've gone to buy food!" ”
"I'm still rich!" The person at the head of the line held the bag and stared at Dong Guo Sheng longingly.
Dong Guo Sheng asked while working: "So many people go to the black market?" Is there so much grain in that? ”
"You don't know, what is it that is now a disaster in the south, and the grain that several big bosses snatched from the south cost a lot of money to bring back, just to give the fathers and villagers in the capital a bite to eat." Zhang Jingye sneered, looking like he didn't believe it at all.
"South? Flooded in the south? Dong Guo Sheng asked.
"Oh! There is no big water, and it is said that the grain in the south is delicate, and it will not be able to freeze by this cold wave! Zhang Jingye said.
"Isn't that nonsense? Even if it has an impact, it can't reach this point! Dong Guo Sheng was also speechless.
At this moment, the one who started in front of him had already weighed up, carried the grain bag in his hand, and ran away with a cigarette.
Curious asked: "What's the matter, the house is on fire and so anxious?" ”
The man smiled and said, "I'm going to buy food!" Just in case, you can't leave your family hungry! ”
"Look, why did I come here, there are few really poor people in line with us who can't open the pot, and they are all waiting for relief here!"
"Hey, oh me!"
Dong Guo Sheng didn't think about it so much, he has been doing business for so many years, and he has seen a lot of these things.
If you don't run into this line of work, maybe you are one of them, take advantage, don't you be ashamed!
It's okay now, there is no shortage of people left, and the rest can be more divided, looking at the backyard door, there is a little food left, what makes Dongguo Ziyu go to get it is all, fooling the ghost.
As the largest business in Beijing, the head office of Guangde Commercial Bank is on Damingmen East Street, not far from the boss's house, which is convenient for visiting at any time, and is also close to the yamen, so business is naturally easy to do.
In the past, the depression caused by food shortages suddenly changed today, and all the seven storefronts on the street were open and in short supply, and all of them were rich people who came to buy food.
Among them, there are many who are too expensive: "In the past, a stone of grain was only 250 Wen, but now it is good, 50 Wen per catty, isn't this a robbery of money?" ”
It's okay to mutter a few words in private, but once the guy hears it, his usual respectful attitude immediately turns 180 degrees.
With a cold face, he replied: "This is what our host desperately snatched, and it will cost more than 30 yuan to receive it, if you dislike it, please don't block other guest officers." ”
There are often people who help: "That is, if you don't buy it, we will buy it, if you don't buy it, start it quickly!" ”
As soon as he said this, the person who was often shaken became even more determined and hurriedly said: "Isn't it that I don't understand!" Forgive me! ”
Zhu Qiyu sat at a tea stall not far away and watched this scene, with an indescribable taste in his heart.
