Chapter 156: Food Prices

Wen Xian had a lot of things she wanted to know, and the shopkeeper of the grain store was willing to say.

She directly grabbed the melon seeds she had just bought, handed them to the shopkeeper and said, "Come, the shopkeeper will continue to talk about the melon seeds." ”

Melon seeds are not expensive, she bought several catties, enough for her to eat a few from time to time.

The shopkeeper happily took the melon seeds and said, "You bought the seeds, right, just eat them like this?" ”

Although he asked, he had no intention of refusing.

Wen Xian waved her hand and said, "This melon seed can grow a seedling, so many, enough." ”

She doesn't do melon seed business, she just grows some to satisfy her hunger.

The shopkeeper didn't say anything more, swallowed a few melon seeds, raised his eyebrows and said: "If you want to say that the price is back to twenty wen a catty, I have no complaints." Our prefect of Guanping Mansion is kind, and we live our own lives behind closed doors. Then all the prices were brought down, and they were pushed back to normal prices. ”

He didn't know what the prices of other places were, he only knew that the prices in their Guanping Mansion were always stable.

He changed his tone and said in a low voice: "If it weren't for this, the life of our Fucheng would not be so peaceful. Now even those homeless people are keeping to themselves and trying to earn money to support their families. ”

Although it selectively accepts displaced people, it also ensures the interests of indigenous and displaced people to the greatest extent.

Therefore, the aborigines of the prefecture city did not have much opinion, and they all supported the prefect very much.

"Our lord is really a good officer." Wen Xian sighed, and then said, "How to sell your millet and red dates, if the price is right, I will buy some and go back to my family to nourish my body." ”

Millet is hard to find, after all, it is not a food that can fill the stomach, and few people buy it.

These in the shopkeeper's store have been in place for a year, and they haven't been sold out yet.

Hearing that she wanted to buy millet, the shopkeeper said excitedly: "If the son wants it, millet will give 15 wen a catty, and red dates 8 wen a catty." ”

Although millet is not very filling, it is more expensive. Therefore, fifteen wen a pound is not expensive.

Wen Xian waved her hand and said, "Then ten catties each." ”

Buy it back and boil some red dates and millet porridge to nourish the stomach of the big guys.

Immediately, she turned her eyes to the other two bags in the corner, which contained soybeans and mung beans.

She tilted her head and said, "What about these beans, how do you sell them?" ”

Soybeans and mung beans are good things, and there are many foods that can be cooked. She plans to buy some and eat them, and she can share some as seeds.

was asked the price at the bottom of the box again, and the shopkeeper's eyes were almost laughing, and he hurriedly said: "Both of them are five cents a catty." ”

He didn't understand where these beans were delicious, they couldn't be boiled badly, they didn't taste good when cooked with a little salt, and they always liked to fart when they ate too much.

"Let's come to twenty pounds." Wen Xian happily bought twenty catties each.

The shopkeeper also happily packed twenty catties for her, and also packed an extra handful for her as an additive.

Ten catties of millet, ten catties of red dates, and forty catties of beans, adding up to less than half a tael of silver, can be really flowered.

Don't buy the other polished rice and white noodles at first, and when you go to town, it's more convenient to buy them and send them directly to the ship.

A total of sixty pounds of things, the shopkeeper also asked Wen Xian if she wanted to help with the delivery, but Wen Xian refused.

She asked Xia Zhi to mention millet and red dates, while she carried a bag of beans in one hand and rushed to the Sun Pavilion.

I just moved my things back to the courtyard, and I happened to meet Zhu Qing who came back from going out to run errands.

Zhu Qing was surprised: "The two of you buy so many things? ”

Millet and red dates are good things, but soybeans and mung beans, he didn't understand.

Wen Xian nodded and said, "These are not available at home, buy some back." ”

"By the way, how much is the polished rice and white flour you bought for us before?" She continued, "I didn't know about prices before, so I didn't know what was right. ”

Wen Xian told Zhu Qing all the prices of these things she bought today.

After Zhu Qing heard this, he said: "The prices you bought are fine, and the prices of rice and white noodles in that grain shop are also correct." Twenty wen a catty, the price is right. ”

All the prices in the city are controlled by the prefect. Especially for food, clothing, housing and transportation, there is a standard.

Therefore, it is unlikely that Wen Xian and the others will be deceived.

"Then the ones you brought for us are also at this price?" Wen Xian said, "Young Master Qing, don't suffer by yourself, I look at my little silver, but I can't buy so much food before." ”

Even if Zhuqing has a chain restaurant, there must be a purchase channel. However, no matter how cheap food is, it will not be cheaper.

To use what the shopkeeper of the grain and oil shop said, it is too cheap, and even the capital is not enough.

However, Zhu Qing shook his head and said: "I have Zhuangzi in the south, and the rice I use every year is shipped from the south, and the price is cheap, and it can be sold for about fifteen wen."

Therefore, the eldest prince does not have to have a psychological burden, I can't lose money. ”

In fact, he is equivalent to a business without capital, and he sells as much as he wants.

Wen Xian didn't ask for much food, which had little impact on him.

"That's embarrassing." Wen Xian pursed her lips and said, "We appreciate the kindness of Young Master Qing, but let's follow the market price in the future." Otherwise, we're too embarrassed to ask you for help. ”

She owes a favor or something, and she doesn't really want to. After all, it is difficult to repay the debt of favors, and it is troublesome to owe too much.

Seeing her serious look, Zhu Qing had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, do as the eldest prince says." ”

"That's right." He continued, "I'll leave Zhu San at home, and you can take him with you when you go out if you need to. He is familiar with the city, and he is also very clear about these prices and whatever.

The most important thing is that he can keep both of them safe by the way, so I'm relieved. ”

Although he is a woman dressed as a man, he is a woman after all, and he is still a little uneasy when he goes out alone.

Wen Xian did not refuse, but thanked: "Then I might as well obey my fate if I am respectful, and thank Qing Gongzi first." ”

Zhu Qing didn't stay long when he came back, and he went out again in a panic.

What he was doing when he went out, Wen Xian didn't know, and she didn't want to know.

She had lunch with Xia Zhi and went out again, but she didn't bring Zhu San with her.

They planned to walk around the yamen to see if they would find anything new.

You must know that near the yamen of Guanping Mansion, there are more dignitaries and dignitaries.

"Big brother." Looking at the officials coming and going in the yamen, Xia Zhi was a little apprehensive and said, "You say, these people are loyal to the present?" ”

Whether you are loyal to the previous dynasty or not, you can't be loyal to Emperor Xingsheng. If they are loyal to Emperor Xingsheng, then their future actions will be very limited.

Wen Xian patted her hand and said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter who it is, we won't deal with them, let's find your people first." ”

They are only looking at it from a distance now, and as for the rest, they are not in a hurry for this moment.

Moreover, she felt that the prefect of Guanping Mansion should be a conservative and neutral faction.

Live your life behind closed doors, and keep your ears open to what's going on outside the window.
