They know, but others don't.

The price of food is falling day by day, and no one in the city is rushing to buy it.

Those who bought old rice at a high price were about to regret crying.

Fortunately, the price of grain has fallen, and other prices have also come down, and Guanyang City has finally come out of the food shortage turmoil.

Lu Xu went to the city to sell cold vegetables, and the price was only half of the original.

It's cheaper, but there are more people who buy it, in addition to the consumption becoming larger, Lu Xu calculated, and he didn't earn much less every day.

Especially when there is no shortage of rice noodles, he started to make fritters again.

Now that the leeks are booming, Lu Xu happily made a leek box.

Lu Xu rented another stall, he sold cold vegetables, and asked Lu Wen to sell fritters, leek boxes, sugar pancakes, sugar cakes, rice sugar cakes, osmanthus rice cakes, and sesame rice cakes next to him.

There are more cold skins and cold noodles on his stall. His tahini can finally be opened and displayed.

No matter how Lu Wen complained, Lu Xu was determined to sell cheap snacks, affordable snacks, and small profits but quick turnover.

He earned this money comfortably and with peace of mind.

Seeing the people on the street laughing happily again, Lu Xu's mood also improved.

Tan Shishi helped him for a while in the morning, rubbed some food, and reported the movements in the county, "The boat gang still refuses to let go, it's still two hundred wen, I think it's crazy." ”

"He collected at least 6,000 wen and one stone, and the cost was 50 wen a catty, and now he is 55 wen, how can he sell it?" Lu Xu made a good cold noodle for people, "Auntie, do you want chili peppers?" ”

"Less chili peppers and more vinegar!"

"Okay!"

Tan Shishi took the small porcelain basin handed by his aunt and helped Lu Xu pour the noodles into it, and Lu Xu mixed cold dishes for his aunt.

The early-maturing winter melon is ripe, Lu Xu has more bone broth to stew winter melon, the bone broth does not cost money, the quantity is limited, first come, first served.

The cabbage in his field is densely planted, Yuan Manniang took Lu Zhou to pull out a lot of small cabbage, Lu Xuqing fried it, ten cents a bowl, and the sales were fast.

The housewives in the county haven't figured out how Lu Xu mixes the oil and vegetables well, but the level of cold dishes has risen sharply, but most people are still reluctant to put seasonings like Lu Xu, and the taste is not as good as Lu Xu's.

Tan Shishi packed the basket for an aunt again, and sighed: "You said that the boat gang has started to sell shops, why hasn't Brother Shanbao released it yet?" ”

Lu Xu's ears moved: "Selling shops? Which shop to sell? ”

Tan Shishi: "The original gambling house! ”

Chapter 62: I don't understand

Lu Xu asked: "The boat gang wants to sell the gambling house?!" ”

Tan Shishi: "The gambling house has hidden weapons, but it is a serious crime, I think it is impossible to open it again." ”

Lu Xu: "What about the grain?" ”

Tan Shishi: "I heard that they were all distributed to those poor people in the southern city wall who couldn't afford to buy food." ”

Lu Xu nodded and muttered, "I don't know how much." ”

Tan Shi was shocked: "You want to buy it?" ”

Lu Xu: "I have to be able to afford it, too!" ”

The main entrance of the gambling house can be opened on East Street, and the side door is also adjacent to a large wide alley, which is a good location for seriousness.

What's more, there is a rather large courtyard inside.

Lu Xu: "Why don't you help me inquire about the price?" ”

Tan Shishi: "You really want it!" ”

How not to want?

If he could afford it, he would want it.

Soon Tan Shishi helped him inquire, fifteen hundred taels.

Lu Xu listened, "Let him sell it slowly!" ”

Even if he exchanged all his money for 1,300 taels now, he didn't have 200 taels, and he still paid 1,500 taels.

He stopped thinking about buying a shop, and continued to pay money every day to rent vacant land to set up a stall in the morning market to see how long the boat gang could last.

The boat gang lasted for more than ten days, and Song San fell ill in prison, and his illness was not light, and he couldn't even go to the ground. The county order did not hurt him to see a doctor at his own expense, and invited the doctor to prison, and administered needles and medicine. When the peasant farmers lowered the price of grain to forty wen, Song San finally couldn't stand it anymore.

If it is delayed any longer, the early rice and millet will be harvested, and it will be really finished by then.

Song San bowed to the county order, and like the Ma family, he handed over all the grain stored in Guanyang County to the grain store to sell.

The boat gang and the Qiu family were all released from prison.

In order to celebrate their release from prison, Lu Xu deliberately stopped business for a day, went to the Qiu family's compound to cook a lot of vegetables, and bought a cart of wine extravagantly, not wanting Liang Shanbao to come out The first sentence was: "I planted those millet when it was the time for top dressing, why did you release us at this time, alas." ”

Lu Xu: "...... When you hear it, you must be very moved. ”

Liang Shanbao also felt that he turned his head and really found the county government again, and asked the county magistrate if they could finish planting the land.

The county order couldn't laugh or cry.

He agreed, not only did he agree, but he also promised to pay them from the harvest when he had collected the crops and sold them.

Lu Xu was very suspicious that Liang Shanbao was planning to pull work for the Qiu brothers.

Others can continue to cultivate wasteland, but Liang Shanbao can't, Lu Xu wants to pull him to do business. The Qiu family has a big mess, and now the serious master has finally been released, and he, the pseudo-second master, hurriedly stepped down.

Liang Shanbao listened to Lu Xu count them one by one, and everyone was dizzy.

He's been in prison for less than a month, so why are they twice as many people as they were before they went in? Not only have there been more people, but there are also fishing boats, cargo ships, and passenger ships, and the original ten grocery stores have been opened to fifty, and the number of grocery stores in the town has doubled, and a small shop has been rented on East Street to sell mountain goods and fruits, and the pharmacy that collects herbs has been negotiated, and even the new people who have come down from the mountains have been arranged......

"That's probably it, but I've been spending a lot lately, and I don't have much money left." Lu Xu handed over the large set of keys to Liang Shanbao and successfully handed them over.

Liang Shanbao didn't say anything, went to the dock and went around the shops, called Tan Shishi and a few brothers who resisted the incident together to talk carefully, and gave the key to Lu Xu.

Liang Shanbao still has the same honest appearance as before, and he doesn't turn around at all, and says bluntly: "I heard them call you the second master, so you continue to be in charge." ”

Lu Xu: "What? ”

Liang Shanbao: "Your home is close to Guanyang, and they are all farming people, originally Brother Tiger thought that we had a bad reputation, and he didn't have any fame, I'm afraid that you don't want to fool around with us, since you are mixed into two masters, then you can do a good job." ”

Lu Xu: "......??? ”

Tan Shishi also said: "Yes, you are not as good as me over the wall, you are not as good as Brother Shanbao in fighting, you are still good at doing business, Brother Big Tiger may not be as good as you, you are all mixed into two masters, just continue to do it." ”

Others also shouted "yes" and "yes".

Lu Xu didn't agree, he was a temporary substitute, Qiu Hu and Liang Shanbao trusted him so much, he couldn't do anything to seize power while others were away, and he was unjust.

He doesn't do it, and others don't want to force him, but whoever has an undecided idea still habitually looks for him first.

What can't be calculated, can't buy goods, can't figure out inventory, and can't tell people about the situation......

has found him, and he is familiar with him again, Lu Xu is not easy to refuse, he comes and goes, and many people still call him the second master.

Lu Xu didn't take it seriously, he didn't think that they shouted and shouted, and called Lu Xu to the yamen.

When the county magistrate saw him, he smiled and said, "It turns out that you are Lu Xu, I always feel familiar with this name." ”

Lu Xu hurriedly said: "Xiaomin has seen adults. ”

The county magistrate asked: "How is Yan Junqi reading?" ”

Lu Xu said enthusiastically: "Jun Qi reads every day, stays up late to read, but he works hard." ”

The county magistrate: "You guys should be good." ”

Lu Xu: "We are neighbors, and we don't have a father at the same time, so we help each other and support each other. ”

The county magistrate nodded, "So, you are all the pillars of the family?" ”

Lu Xu nodded, "I am the boss in my family, and he is the boss in his family." ”

The county magistrate looked him up and down and asked, "I see that you are still young, but you are twenty?" ”

Lu Xu: "My lord, I am seventeen this year. ”

The county commander nodded and smiled with the county lieutenant, "I said that he is young, and he is still a half-old child." ”

The county lieutenant also nodded.

Lu Xu was inexplicably looked at, and he still didn't figure out what the county magistrate asked him to do when he came to the county office.

The county commander said lovingly: "Do you know what a pillar is? ”

This question made Lu Xu confused.

What is a pillar?

Lu Xu really didn't understand, he shook his head, and said honestly: "Xiaomin only knows how to let my younger brothers and sisters and my mother be fed and clothed, have a house to live in, have a field to plant, and not suffer from freezing or starvation." ”

The county commander smiled more lovingly, touched his beard and said with a smile: "That's a good point, but do you know that as the pillar of the family, it is more important to reassure the whole family?" ”

Lu Xu was at a loss.

Feel relieved?

What kind of heart? Why not?

He was stared at by the county order, blinked, confused, and blurted out: "My family is quite relieved of me." ”

The county magistrate laughed, and even the county lieutenant couldn't help laughing.

Lu Xu was even more stunned, and was full of question marks with laughter.

The county commander sighed with a smile: "The boat gang Song family told the county how ruthless and cunning you are, I think you are real." ”

Lu Xu's eyes widened a little, and he pointed at himself in disbelief, "Me? My heart is black? Am I cunning? My lord, the Song family is not a good thing, and they can't listen to their words! I'm the most realistic! ”

The county commander and the county lieutenant shook their heads with a smile, "This county knows, no wonder you can make friends with Qiu Hu at a young age." ”

What does it mean? Lu Xu pondered, is this scolding him for being as solid and brainless as Qiu Hu?

The county magistrate told him that he could leave, and told him, "Remember, think more about your younger brothers and sisters at home before doing things." ”
