The enthusiasm of the guy made Lao Zhang's face a little ugly, how could he have this treatment in previous years...

If you want to buy some food, you have to see if your purse is enough to make porcelain, in case of another famine, the price of food will rise to the sky if you are not careful.

Not to mention that the guy who sells grain now takes the initiative to beckon his shopkeeper to come out to receive him, if it weren't for the furnishings in the grain store, there is no difference from his memory.

At this moment, Lao Zhang has to wonder if he is in the wrong place.

After all, this person's enthusiasm seemed to be a little too outrageous, so Lao Zhang couldn't help but pull back and dragged the young descendant behind him forward.

Quietly leaned into his ear and said: "You go out and ask a passer-by where the people in the county are buying food now, and then you come to me again!" ”

"Okay!" After that, the latter turned his head and left the business name, and took care of the mule cart and tied it up.

Then I started to feel around...

On Lao Zhang's side, the shopkeeper of Yunfu Firm is an old man who looks a little shrewd at a glance, although his hair is a little gray, but he can obviously see that his expression is quite acceptable.

It doesn't give people a feeling of drooping old age, and the clothes are decent, but I saw Lao Zhang's eyes lit up and said: "Below is the branch shopkeeper of Yunfu Firm, Zhou Yunhai, I don't know what this guest officer is called." ”

The fake old Zhang also arched his hand in response, of course, the posture is not standard, after all, this kind of thing is still a little difficult for the crops in his field.

"Just call me Lao Zhang, last year's harvest in Mangui Village was still not good, didn't this make up some money to buy some food in Guihao.. I just don't know the price of rice lately.."

The shopkeeper was not in a hurry, Zhou Yunhai first gave his buddy a look.

Motioned to take people back first, and then said, how could such a big mule cart not buy some food, judging from the recent business.

If this is maintained, it can be regarded as one of the few big customers of Yunfu Business recently.

The guy was also clever, and hurriedly sent Lao Zhang into the back hall with a smile.

"Master Zhang, let's please. Let's sit down and talk about this food slowly, and we will definitely calculate a reasonable price for you, and we won't ask you to run for nothing. ”

"Good, good.." The suspicious feeling in Lao Zhang's heart became stronger and stronger.

How come it has just turned over the years, the attitude of the old and the small in this rice shop is like a 180-degree turn.

It turns out that it is not so easy to speak, and if you don't agree with it, there is no food in the store.

Zhou Yunhai's shopkeeper diligently made a bubble of tea for Lao Zhang, although it was not good, but it could barely be regarded as a level that could be eye-catching.

This made Zhou Yunhai also feel a pain in his flesh.

After all, no one has much money these days, and seeing Lao Zhang take the teacup and drink it all, the way of drinking tea like a cow made Zhou Yunhai even more uncomfortable.

"Master Zhang.. Yes, the price of rice now naturally has its own high and low, whether it is rice or wheat. Are you right? ”

Lao Zhang shook off the teacup and made sure that there was no water in it before putting it down.

said with a serious face: "This is natural, this is why my Lao Zhang came directly to you today, Shopkeeper Zhou, we have dealt with each other for so many years, I can rest assured of your food." ”

However, Lao Zhang had already scolded Zhou Yunhai in front of him over and over again in his heart.

If you have other options, can you come to your store?

If you have a lot of money, there is no place to put it or how to drip it?

Last year, whoever bought the grain of your Yunfu business did not scold the mother, and the grain began to be moved to the mule cart, and you said that the front half of the car was different from the back half of the car.

It is said that the price of grain has risen again, and the grain that has not yet been moved has to be increased.

As soon as these words came out, many people immediately became emotional, but the emotions were just trouble, and the silver still had to be added, after all, if the money was not given.

Zhou Yunhai really dared to detain the grain on the spot, and you can take it away if you pay the money to move it into the car.

I didn't get in the car... Then I'm sorry, and generally those who come to Yunfu to buy food, don't they already see that the rice jars at home have bottomed out.

The whole village waited for the rice to come to the pot, which made many people angry.

But there's nothing you can do about him... After all, in the year of the great famine and catastrophe, only these people could get food from various places to sell.

And just when Lao Zhang and Zhou Yunhai were chatting here, the young offspring on the other end was looking at a rice shop on the side of the road with curiosity...

"Great. Bright.. Emperor.. What, what sticks.. Grain.. Sell? ”

A few years ago, there was a child in the village who came to teach and eat, but then every family in the village was not rich and could not afford to support their children to study anymore.

The students are gone, and Mr. Teaching is naturally starting to have enough to eat.

Frustrated, the children were led home one by one, and the boy could only continue to look for the next village willing to accept him.

When I left, I left a book, although I would still flip through it from time to time, but it was too long and many words were forgotten by no one to teach.

Later, the book became a stuff at the bottom of the cabinet.

"Housheng, you're here to buy food, right?" Just when he was puzzled, what was the difference between the rice shop in front of him and the Yunfu business.

A warm-hearted lady on the side saw this and took a stubble.

"Yes, yes, yes! Auntie, I am from Mangui Village, I came to the city to buy grain, and the uncle in our village will be in the Yunfu business, let me come out to find out the price of rice. ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the lady heard this, she immediately exploded!

"Yunfu Firm? Hurry up and call your uncle out, who in this city still eats the grain of Yunfu Merchant now, you can't be so bad if you have money, Yunfu Merchant has one stone of refined grain, and you can exchange it for three stone broken grain in this imperial court grain store. Although it doesn't look good, it can be eaten in the mouth! ”

The young man was also shocked when he heard this.

One-for-three?

In these years, every family diligently grows food, and throughout the year may have to rely on going out to work for others to earn some money to subsidize the family, and at the same time save it for food in hungry years.

In the years when the stomach may not be able to eat enough, who cares about the quality and taste of the food.

"Auntie, you didn't lie to me?"

The eldest lady in the old jacket with broken flowers on the side is still holding her infant child in her arms, and she is also here to buy food today, but since she found out that the food of the court can be bought at any time.

He no longer spends as much on grain as he did at the beginning, but waits for the rice jar at home to be empty before going to the street to buy some.

"What are you lying about, broken rice is also rice! If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself, if that's the case. ”

The last sentence was like a shot in the arm for the young man, and he didn't bother to confirm it, so he turned around and ran wildly towards the Yunfu business.
