ps: Thanks to yangzhigang, eagle week, country native, ashara reward, thanks, standard body 123 monthly pass encouragement.There are too many things today, the number of words is a little less, strive for two chapters tomorrow.
For three days in a row, the price of rice in Jinji rice shop dropped from 100 wen per bucket to 95 wen, then to 90 wen, then 85 wen, 80 wen, 75 wen, and the price was adjusted every half a day on average, compared with the rice price of other grain shops in the county, it was a full forty or fifty wen lower.
This strange situation lasted until the sixth day, when the price of rice in the Jinji rice shop had dropped to 50 Wen, and more than a dozen splashes appeared out of nowhere, crowded to the counter, shouting to buy rice.
When the golden shopkeeper saw it, he hurriedly came out from behind and said loudly: "All line up, come one by one."
The gang of splashes lined up, and the first one threw down a silver ingot, shouting: "Five taels of silver, hurry up and prepare it for the master, and the master will move away immediately!"
According to the current price of rice, five taels of silver can almost buy eighty buckets of rice, and one person can buy it like this, but this gang of splashes obviously came together, if they all buy this way, they can hold it once or twice, three times, five times, seven times, eight times can not hold it.
In front of so many people, the golden shopkeeper couldn't help but sell, so he quietly instructed the guys to go to the back to inform Guan Er, and at the same time dealt with the splash.
"This little brother, you have to buy rice for five taels of silver?"
"Of course, the silver is all revealed, and there will be fakes?"
"Five taels of silver is eighty buckets, are you sure, little brother?"
"Where did the nonsense come from, hurry up and move the rice out with the master!"
"Little brother, why don't you sell ten buckets first, and if you want it again after eating, you can come again?"
"Yo, don't you want to sell it?" The splash immediately turned around and shouted to the group of people behind him: "Did you hear it? Jin Ji Rice Shop didn't want to sell rice to me, the brothers commented on it, he opened the door to do business, and I came to the door with real money. Why didn't you sell me rice? Could it be that he looked down on me?"
A group of splashers suddenly made an uproar: "You shopkeeper doesn't know anything, do your job well, how can you not sell when you open the door!"
"That's it, how to look down on my brother, really beg for a beating!"
"A fire burned down your rice shop, look at how you open the shop!"
What's more, he shouted at the onlookers: "This rice shop is a lie, there is no rice to sell at all, the villagers must hurry up, otherwise my brother will buy it, and you will have no rice to cook!"
Some people fanned the flames, and the onlookers suddenly became at a loss, and some people couldn't bear it.
The shopkeeper finally confirmed this time that this gang of people was here to make trouble, and looking at the silver taels they sold, they knew that they must have come at the behest of those big households. So he said loudly: "My Jin Ji rice shop has been open in Guyang County for ten years, and it has always been a well-known brand, where is the reason to deceive people? This little brother wants to buy 80 buckets at a time, Jin is afraid that he has spent unjust money, so he specially reminds me kindly. Don't misunderstand. Since this little brother insists on buying, then of course my Jin Ji rice shop will not refuse! Come and move rice in the warehouse!"
At the urging of the golden shopkeeper, the men quickly took out the rice bags from the granary, and piled them all at the door of the shop, and in a short time they were stacked several layers.
This time it was the turn of the golden shopkeeper to urge: "This little brother, quickly move the rice you bought, don't block in front of my shop, I am afraid it will affect the business in the back."
A splash came forward and whispered a few words, and the person who bought the rice suddenly woke up and shouted: "You mother is a profiteer, is it easy to bully Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu spent money, you have to send it back to Lao Tzu, why do you want Lao Tzu to do it himself?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll let the guy send it back for you, but the brothers in the back will have to wait a little longer, I don't have enough guys in the shop, and I'll send this guy home and come back to sell."
But no matter how noisy it was, the golden shopkeeper was not in a hurry, because the heavy bags of rice were piled up at the door, and they were all watched by the onlookers, and many of the people who came up to line up hesitated and shrank back, intending to wait and see - God knows if the price of rice will drop again in the afternoon?
Just when the gang was shouting to smash the store, Guan Er rushed over from behind the store with people, and watched for a while, Guan Er glanced at the executioners of the dart line under him, and several executioners squeezed into the crowd and began to shout according to the words prepared before.
"Isn't this the son of the steward of the Zhang family in Zhangwang Village? The Zhang family is the first-class family in my Guyang County, and there is never a shortage of food, how can he let him come over to buy rice?"
"The one with the black face is the gatehouse of the Long family in the south of the city, and he has thousands of stones of rice in the warehouse of the Long family, why do you still come to buy rice?"
"That fat man is Wednesday Lang, the Zhou family's nurse, he injured several people in the county seat last year, you guys be careful, don't eat his fists!"
"The thin and tall man is a member of the Jiao family, and he has broken the chastity of several good families, be careful if you have a female dependent, don't let him see it, hide it in the back!"
As soon as a few words were spoken, someone summed up in a loud voice: "Why are all people from big families? These big families don't sell rice, they still want to grab rice from us, this is to starve our common people! We can't let them bully, drive them away!"
This time is terrible, the common people already have complaints about these gentry and big gentry, immediately provoked by words, all of them are angry and blow up their lungs, see someone taking the lead, immediately follow the hug.
Guan Er saw that things were settled, so he returned to the shop, saw the shopkeeper Jin and said, "Lao Jin, you continue to sit in town, let's go back to drink tea, and if there is something, we will speak."
The golden shopkeeper complimented: "Lord Zhao Fang is really like a god, those big people really can't hold their breath......
Guan Er smiled and said: "What kind of bullshit origin, where do I recognize it? It's all made up!"
While talking and laughing, Lu Jin flashed in with beads of sweat wiping his head, said hello to Guan Er, and said to the shopkeeper Jin: "Lao Jin, the second batch of grain has arrived, two thousand stones, now transfer people to Jiangyou to transport grain, be sure to transport it early the next morning!"
The shopkeeper Jin said happily: "It's finally here, Jin has been worried these days, and now he can finally take a breath.
Lu Jin nodded and said: "Lord Zhao has ordered, early the day after tomorrow, the price of rice will be pulled back to thirty Wen!" (to be continued)
