The shopkeeper of Donghang Grain Store didn't wake up until noon today.

I drank heavily at Cui's house for three days in a row, and my body was a little unbearable, and I felt a little headache when I got up.

He sat on the bed with his head covered for a few moments before he remembered what to do.

"Dog!"

The shopkeeper of Donghang Grain Store shouted his fixed little attendant outside the door.

The servant who had been waiting outside pushed open the door and came in, holding a basin of warm water for washing.

But the person who came in was not a dog, but his younger brother Gouyu.

The shopkeeper of Donghang Grain Store frowned, as if he had thought of something bad.

He asked hesitantly:

"You're here to change the dog's class? Where did he go? Went to the county government to get food? ”

After getting the affirmative reply from the dog, a wave of doubts suddenly rose in the heart of the shopkeeper of Donghang Grain Store and said:

This is the third day of the city's food distribution.

Do those small grain merchants have so much grain in their hands?

Why haven't you finished sending it yet.

For no reason, he was irritable, and the shopkeeper of the grain store commanded:

"Prepare the car, go to Cui's mansion!"

The shopkeeper's tone was blunt, and the dog thought that the shopkeeper was angry because the dog left his post without permission, so he hurriedly lowered his head and walked out quickly to prepare the car.

When I arrived at Cui's Mansion, the shopkeeper of Donghang Grain Store saw that everyone had arrived again.

He was a little annoyed that he was the last to know the news every time.

And Cui Zai saw the arrival of the shopkeeper of Donghang Grain Bank, and he also understood what the shopkeeper was going to say, so he motioned to his subordinates to bring a small cloth bag for the shopkeeper to see.

"This morning, I was also curious about how Xiang Yan's food hadn't been distributed yet, so I ordered the people in the house to also line up to get a few bags of grain. Take a look, have you found anything? ”

The shopkeeper of Donghang Grain Store took the cloth bag from the hand of the subordinate, reached in and grabbed a handful.

After sifting out the sand, the shopkeeper took it to his eyes and looked at it carefully, and then put it under his nose and sniffed it.

He is a person who has been dealing with grain for decades, and as long as he looks at it and smells it, he has a rough idea of how many years the grain is aged, whether the preservation environment is good, and whether the protection measures are in place.

The shopkeeper of Donghang Grain Bank raised his eyebrows and said:

"Stale grain?"

Cui Zai smiled and said:

"That's right!"

"It's only the third day, and he's already started to distribute old grain, does that mean anything I still need to explain?"

Donghang's shopkeeper's tightly knit brows immediately relaxed.

It seems that I am still overthinking myself.

I'm a person, I just can't hold my breath!

No wonder they have only been trapped in Yuhang for so many years!

If you want to do big things in the future, this unbearable temperament still has to be changed.

"Since there are no worries, everyone should still eat and drink!"

Cui Zai said to the big grain merchants,

"Today, the house continues to hold banquets......"

"Cui Yan Zhengshi," but before Cui Zai finished speaking, the shopkeeper of Donghang Grain Store interrupted him, "Don't drink it today, I drank it for three days in a row, my body can't bear it, and the affairs of the house have been abandoned for three days. ”

The shopkeepers of other grain banks also began to talk to the shopkeepers of Donghang.

I don't know how.

Although Xiang Yan began to distribute old grains, everything was under their control.

But an uneasy feeling for no reason quietly sprouted in their hearts.

A bad premonition began to take root in their minds.

As a result, many people have lost much of their appetite for eating and drinking.

"Okay,"

Cui Zaidao,

"It's also said that the body is still important, and it's not good to drink the body down, so let's get busy if we have anything, and we'll contact you more if there is any new situation!"

Day 4.

As soon as the shopkeeper of Donghang Grain Bank woke up, he saw that it was already bright outside.

Then he asked the dog outside the door loudly:

"Dog! Did the county government distribute food today? ”

A slightly sleepy voice came from outside:

"Master, it's only time now, and the county government will start to distribute food when it's time to do so."

"That's it......" The heart of the shopkeeper of Donghang Grain Store suddenly became very urgent, and he was eager to know if Xiang Yan would send food today.

The urgency is like waiting for the lottery to draw.

It feels like I can't wait a minute.

"Dog! You don't need to guard the door, you go to the county office to line up to get food, and once you get food, come back and tell me! ”

"Okay!"

The dog was overjoyed, and the sleepiness in his voice was swept away.

I heard the footsteps of the dog running away happily outside.

The shopkeeper of Donghang Grain Store sat on the bed and felt that he didn't want to do anything, and he didn't want to go anywhere.

Before hearing the news, he felt that his heart had been filled by Xiang Yan's question of whether or not to send food today, and he could no longer devote any attention to do something else.

He just sat there, feeling that time was very long, as if several years had passed.

Just when he began to wonder if the dog would never come back.

There was a cheerful sound of footsteps outside.

The heart of the shopkeeper of Donghang Grain Store was pinched at once.

Intuitively, he felt that something was going to be bad!

Sure enough, the happy voice of the dog made him sound like the loudest noise in the world.

A nightmare word rang out outside the door:

"Master, I'm still handing out food today!"

The shopkeeper of Donghang Grain Bank suddenly felt that he had lost his strength.

Almost fell on the bed.

A fear that he might be bankrupt began to come to his mind.

Before he knew it, a cold sweat had broken out on his back!

At the same time, the doubts in his heart filled his heart as if they were about to overflow:

That's not right.

The amount of grain is not right!

Even if you add the stock of old grain for several years.

Now the amount of grain sent out by Xiang Yan has exceeded the sum of the grain in the hands of all the small grain merchants in Yuhang!

Where the hell did all this extra food come from?!

What happened when none of them knew about it?

What did Xiang Yan do!

Day 5.

The shopkeeper of Donghang Grain Store had insomnia.

Until he told the dog to go out to the county government to get food, he hadn't fallen asleep.

"Master, the account books of the shops below have been delivered in the past few days, do you want to take a look?"

Outside the door, the voice of the housekeeper of Donghang rang out.

"Bring it in."

The shopkeeper of Donghang Grain Bank picked up the account book and looked at it for a while, and soon frowned again and said:

"Why did you sell so little grain yesterday? That's almost half as much as the previous three days. ”

The voice of the housekeeper of Donghang was a little slurred:

"Because the price of food is too high......"

This high grain price was promoted by the Donghang shopkeeper, and many people in the grain bank did not agree at that time, but the shopkeeper relied on his dictatorial power to settle the matter.

That's why the housekeeper will be a little stumbling when he talks about it.

The housekeeper continued:

"At first, the citizens had no choice, no matter how expensive the food was, they had to pinch their noses and buy it."
