Chapter 238: Raising Food Prices
Although the city gate was opened, because Xiao Nan was guarding the city gate at night, those victims did not dare to take a step forward.
Coupled with what Xiao Nanye just said, they all heard it.
So looking at Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan at this moment, everyone's eyes were full of excitement and excitement.
The people from Chengwangfu came quickly, and after a cup of tea, Jiang Peihuan heard the sound of neat horses' hooves.
The leader is Han Feng.
Behind him was a row of wagons, all of which were filled with grain.
Jiang Peihuan stepped forward and instructed the people of the Chengwang Mansion to move the things down, and put the pot on the table by the way.
The food was quickly cooked, and all this was arranged in a quarter of an hour.
Looking at the crowd, Jiang Peihuan frowned.
"Miss, do you have any other orders?"
Han Feng had been following Jiang Peihuan's side, and when he saw her frowning, he stepped forward directly.
"Let them go to the queue, the elderly and children first, followed by women."
"Yes."
Han Feng went to stop the victims from queuing, but these people heard about it for the first time and didn't listen at all.
It wasn't until the person who provoked the trouble was directly stabbed by Han Feng with a sword that everyone lined up according to what Jiang Peihuan said.
Jiang Peihuan made people set up five cauldrons at the same time, but the five teams were still long and couldn't see their heads.
And there were more and more people behind, all of whom were running from the other three city gates.
"Huan'er?"
Hearing the voice, Jiang Peihuan came from the direction.
It turned out that Jiang Changbai was walking from the barracks to the city, and there were Xue Qi and Xue Zhi beside him.
"Big brother, cousin Qi, cousin Zhi."
Seeing the three of them, Jiang Peihuan stepped forward and saluted.
"Huan'er, aren't you giving porridge in the city, why are you here?"
As he spoke, Jiang Changbai looked at the victims on the side.
Looking at the long queue, Jiang Changbai's eyes were full of worry.
After Jiang Peihuan briefly explained the matter, he looked at Jiang Changbai and said, "Big brother, you have something important to do when you go back to the house, if you are fine, you might as well stay and help." ”
"Okay, you say, I'll listen to you."
"Huan'er, and us, we can also help."
Hearing Jiang Changbai's words, Xue Qi and Xue Zhi on the side also hurriedly spoke.
Under Jiang Peihuan's arrangement, there were three more cauldrons.
The whole city gate was filled with the fragrance of porridge, and the eyes of the victims who got the porridge were all red.
"Miss, if you continue like this, there will be not enough food."
Han Feng walked to Jiang Peihuan's side and spoke softly.
When he came, he had already bought a lot of food from the Liu family's shop, but no amount of food could support so many people to eat.
"Miss, do you need me to go to the Liu family's shop to buy food again?"
"I can't go to Liu's house for the time being."
Food and cotton clothes, Jiang Peihuan has already taken a large number of things from the Liu family, if he takes it again, even if it is the Liu family, he will not be able to bear it.
Looking at Han Feng, Jiang Peihuan said softly, "Have you gone to other merchants to see the situation?" ”
"Yes, but the prices at other merchants are very high."
"There is only the Liu family's shop, and the grain price is normal."
"But when we went to Liu's shop, we found that Liu's shop didn't have much food in stock."
Hearing Han Feng's words, Jiang Peihuan fell into silence, and after a moment of silence, Jiang Peihuan looked at Han Feng and said, "Let's go, go to the city to buy food." ”
"Yes."
At this time, Xiao Nanye had already walked over, and when he saw him, Jiang Peihuan said softly, "You are guarding here, and I will take Han Feng to the city to buy food." ”
"Okay."
"Do you still have any silver?"
After thinking about it, Xiao Nanye looked at Jiang Peihuan and said.
Hearing the man's words, Jiang Peihuan laughed softly, "Don't worry, there is still a lot of gold left over from the gold you gave me before." ”
After speaking, Jiang Peihuan rode to the city in a gale.
After arriving in the city, Jiang Peihuan first went to see the soup kitchen in the General's Mansion, and when he saw that everything was normal, Jiang Peihuan took Han Feng to the rice grain shop in the city.
"Miss, but you want to buy food?"
When the shopkeeper saw Jiang Peihuan coming in, his eyes were full of smiles.
He knew about the general's mansion giving porridge in the city, since the porridge was giving, then there was a lot of food needed, and the more Jiang Peihuan bought, the more they earned.
"I do want to buy food."
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Jiang Peihuan nodded with a smile.
Looking at the grain in the bag, Jiang Peihuan reached out and touched it, and then said softly, "Shopkeeper, what is the price of this rice grain?" ”
"Miss, this is new rice, so the price will be a little more expensive, two hundred wen a catty."
"Two hundred wen?"
Hearing the shopkeeper's offer, the smile on Jiang Peihuan's face remained unchanged, but his eyes were all ugly.
In the past, the new rice was only 50 wen per catty, and it was still the new rice in good condition.
The shopkeeper may also realize that this price is too high, so after hearing Jiang Peihuan's words, he said with a smile, "The eldest lady also knows that this rice grain is rare now, so ......"
"So you merchants can take the opportunity to raise the price of food and make a fortune, right?"
Without waiting for the shopkeeper to finish speaking, Jiang Peihuan interrupted him lightly.
Hearing Jiang Peihuan's words, the shopkeeper's face showed a little ugly, "Why did the eldest lady say such things to me, now in this Kyoto city, no one has a long price." ”
"Liu's shop has not risen."
Han Feng, who was following Jiang Peihuan, said with a cold face after hearing the shopkeeper's words.
"That's their stupidity."
Although the shopkeeper's muttering voice was very small, Jiang Peihuan and Han Feng were both martial arts practitioners, and their ears were outstanding, so they could still hear them clearly.
Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan's eyes showed a little gloomy.
Originally, she was ready to talk to these merchants, but now it seems that it doesn't make sense.
Looking at the shopkeeper, Jiang Peihuan said directly, "Shopkeeper, I might as well say it directly, it is His Royal Highness King Cheng who came to buy rice from you today, he is giving porridge at the East City Gate at the moment, how many hundreds of thousands of victims are in the East City Gate, do you still want to sell 200 Wen for this rice today?" ”
"This ...... Miss, don't embarrass me. ”
"So, the shopkeeper still sticks to this price?"
The smile on Jiang Peihuan's face was still there, but the look in his eyes had turned ice.
"Miss, why do you need to talk to him so much, if the master is here, he is afraid that his life will be gone, he just depends on your good temperament, and then he pulls so much."
As he spoke, Han Feng directly pulled out his long sword and aimed it at the neckline of the shopkeeper, Han Feng said coldly, "I only ask you once, will you reduce the price of this grain or not?" ”
"You, what do you want to do, you...... Ah......h
Before the shopkeeper's words were finished, the long sword in Han Feng's hand had already scratched his arm.
This is not over yet, Han Feng's long sword is aimed at the shopkeeper's other hand again, "Will you descend?" ”
"I, I don't count what I said, this shop is not mine, and I also act according to orders."
"Can the shopkeeper tell me whose shop it is?"
"Yes, it's the Lin family."
