The shopkeeper's face was displeased when he heard the lowest price, and it was fleeting, his eyes looked at Yueya, "The guest officer is not badly dressed, this grain must be bought after all, we have the best rice here, you can take a look, the lowest price of grain you said is old rice and insects, and it can't support your identity." ”

Xiao Jingshen frowned, "Then let's take a look at the rice and make a comparison." ”

The shopkeeper led them to see two kinds of rice, the old rice and the good rice are very different, the old rice still has worms and a lot of hangers, but it sells the price of the good rice before.

This good rice is the ordinary rice of the past, which is better than ordinary rice, but it is five times more expensive, and ordinary people simply cannot afford to eat it.

If life is a little harder, it is that Chen rice can't be bought.

Walking out of the grain shop, Yueya said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect this price to have increased so much, and I don't know if it's just his family or all the grain shops have doubled." ”

"Let's go and see a few more, I guess they have already negotiated the price of a nest of snakes and rats, and every family is the same."

"Hmmm! These businessmen have no humanity, they always like to eat human blood steamed buns, this time they must not be spared, the price is five times more than usual, they have a good conscience. ”

Seeing that Yueya was angry, Xiao Jingshen hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, you can always restore the price to them, or even lower." ”

"Hmmm! I'll see it when the time comes. ”

Yueya and Xiao Jingshen went to visit four or five stores separately, all of them were at the same price, there was no difference, Yueya immediately realized a problem, all these stores were colluded.

As long as every family is at this price, then the price of grain will become more and more profitable, and the people will be miserable, but their merchants will make a lot of money.

After visiting all afternoon, hungry and hot, Yueya and Xiao Jingshen found an inn to drink tea and eat, and found that the price of meals had risen.

"It seems that the rise in food has caused all the inns to rise as well, and the market will be absolutely chaotic in this way, this is still a small matter, and the riots caused by the starvation of the people are a big deal."

"What can you do?"

Yueya took a sip of tea and said, "Didn't they raise prices in a unified manner?" Then we will open a grain store to deliberately lower the price and fight a price war, their business is not good, our business is good, I still don't believe that they will not reduce the price. ”

"It's a big loss, and besides, we can't find a suitable food channel now, so we can't do it at all."

"I wonder where is the right food channel?"

Just thinking about it, Xiao Jingshen suddenly stood up, "I know a person, she must know where there is a grain channel, we use the previous grain price to buy grain and then sell it at a low price, no loss, as long as it is a little lower than these grain shops, and when the price war continues to fall in the future, it will inevitably reduce the price of the grain stores in the whole city." ”

"Is there really such a low-cost grain channel to buy?"

Xiao Jingshen smiled: "Aunt Meng, you may not know yet!" She is from Taoyuan Village, the daughter of the village chief, where she is isolated and lives happily, and every family grows rice.

No one came out to work, every household in their village had a lot of surplus grain, and sometimes it took several years to eat it, and everything there was produced and sold by itself, and outsiders would not enter it, after all, this village was mysterious, and there were no acquaintances who could not enter it at all. ”

"Great, then we'll go to Aunt Meng when we're full of food now, and ask her to take us in to buy it."

Xiao Jingshen saw that she was a little impatient, and even forgot to wipe the pastries on her face, and the ghost sent her hand to help her wipe the corners of her mouth, but was just about to touch it when Yueya interrupted, "What's the matter?" Is it fly poop on my mouth? ”

Xiao Jingshen realized that he was rude, and hurriedly said: "No, you have pastries on the corner of your mouth, and I just want to help you wipe it." ”

"Oh! Thanks, I'll come myself. ”

After eating and paying, Yueya bought some food and put it in the carriage, and then went to Menggu with Xiao Jingshen overnight, because the road had to travel for several hours, they did not delay, and almost arrived at the inn next to Menggu Station in the middle of the night.

Menggu's inn is open all day, and Menggu is still settling accounts when they arrive.

Pushing the door in, Menggu sat at the table dressed in white under the oil lamp, and at that glance Yueya thought it was a fairy descending to earth, this Menggu was indeed too beautiful, more and more amorous.

"Guest Officer ......"

Meng Gu heard the voice and looked up, and before she finished speaking, she saw Xiao Jingshen, she was so excited that she was almost speechless, and thought it was an illusion.

"Aunt Meng!"

Xiao Jingshen stepped forward and smiled gently, dressed in green clothes became more and more elegant and handsome, and the Menggu who saw it was red and red for a while, how could there be the heartiness that Yueya had seen in the past, she greeted her.

"Why are you here? It's so late, hungry! ”

"I'll cook you a few dishes."

"Don't be busy," Xiao Jingshen said with a smile: "I brought my sister-in-law here today to ask for something, and I have already eaten on the way." ”

"It's okay, sister-in-law, come and sit first, my buddy is asleep, and I'll cook for you today."

Saying that, she had already walked towards the back kitchen, and the pleasure on her face was impossible to ignore.

Yueya sat down and poured him a cup of hot tea and poured himself a cup, and then said with a smile: "This Menggu is someone I rarely admire, she is alone in this wilderness to support this inn, and she can also cook a good dish, it's really good, the second master, if you don't grasp your sister-in-law, you will be very angry." ”

"Sister-in-law, don't say it, be careful of being heard by her."

"Afraid of what? She likes you and sees you as stars. ”

Saying this, Xiao Jingshen couldn't help blushing, so he could only sit and drink tea by himself.

Meng Gu did it quickly, and soon walked out with three dishes and one soup.

"Come, eat first, and we'll talk about things after a good meal."

"Hmmm! Thank you, Menggu. ”

Yueya smiled and picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, and immediately nodded, "It's really good, delicious, no wonder our second master always praises you for having a pair of skillful hands." ”

"Really?" Meng Gu looked at Xiao Jingshen with burning eyes, the naked love in her eyes was different from Xiao Jingshen's forbearance love, and the pear vortex bloomed on her face, as if there were only Xiao Jingshen and her in the world.

Xiao Jingshen frowned at her, and wanted to say no, but he was afraid of losing Yueya's face, so he had to bow his head and eat without saying a word.

Yueya smiled: "Of course, Aunt Meng is beautiful and capable, I don't know who will marry you in the future, I really envy him." ”

Saying that, she looked at Xiao Jingshen, "Second master, you say yes!" ”

"Hmm!"

Meng Gu was very happy, "It's a pity! That man has a heart and doesn't know my mind. ”

Xiao Jingshen "chuckled" in her heart, for fear that she would tell who the person in her heart was.

Fortunately, Aunt Meng didn't say anything.

Yueya blinked, "You said that the man you like already has a heart?" ”

"Hey! Who said no, it's clear that the woman he likes can't be with him, he's still obsessed, and I feel sorry for him, in fact, if they were possible, I would choose to quit. ”

Yueya laughed and said: "You think too much, isn't the person he likes just you?" ”

"Isn't that right, Second Master?"

As soon as he said this, Xiao Jingshen couldn't hold back, and he said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law, I said that I just treat her as a sister, that's all." ”

Meng Gu knew that she would be rejected, but she didn't expect him to refuse so simply, and she was a little suffocated in her heart, but she couldn't be sad, she smiled: "Sister-in-law, don't joke about him, the person he likes is not me." ”

Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Yueya was shocked, "Do you still have other women you like?" Aunt Meng is so good, she shouldn't be! I've never met anyone better than Menggu. ”

"Only I know if it's good or not, and in my heart she is the best."

Yueya listened to Xiao Jingshen's sullen words, and looked at Meng Qingyi and couldn't help but feel sorry for her, this guy is too bad at talking, as for hurting people like this, this refusal is too obvious.

Seeing that they were embarrassed, Meng Gu spoke, "Okay, hurry up and eat, wait for the food to be cold." ”

The eating process became delicate, Yueya didn't dare to talk much, Xiao Jingshen buried his head in eating, and Meng Qingyi didn't dare to say anything when he looked at him, the tears in her eyes were swallowed by her, and she regained her fascinated smile, one day she will be able to see the moon, after all, the woman he likes is married again, and he should let go.

After eating, Xiao Jingshen directly said the purpose of coming here.

"Menggu, in fact, we are here for the matter of grain and grass, due to natural disasters, the people have no harvest, profiteers occupy the entire market, and meet together to raise the grain ......"

Meng Gu is an ordinary person, and she likes to act chivalrous and righteous, she was indignant when she heard this, she said in a deep voice: "The reason why I opened an inn in this wilderness or stayed at a low price was not to make money, I didn't expect these profiteers to do this kind of thing, you say!" As long as I can do it, I will be able to help you do it. ”
