Flood occurred eight days, Jiangnan people do not want to live, everywhere in mourning, if the only happy, perhaps the size of Jiangnan grain merchants, after the flood prices soared, as of today, just eight days, the price of a stone of rice has soared to 1,330 Wen.
Although they lost a large portion of the grain stock in the flood, but just a few days not only earned back the capital, but also earned a pot full of money, this eight days of earnings are catching up with the past half a year’s earnings.
Jingnan County, the morning sunrise. Fengtai grain shop Tai boss copy hand, wearing a brand new robe, slowly from his mansion towards the grain shop, while walking with a toothpick picking teeth.
In half of Jiangnan are crying hunger and cold, he these days but live a nourishing no, every day to eat with the New Year, no way, these days to earn is too much, casually from the fingers of the leakage point, casually a whole meal to eat, accidentally exceeded the standard, what the chicken, duck, fish, meat, delicacies and seafood ah and so on, eat all the time with the New Year like. As long as you have money, don’t care when you want to eat, you can eat. Today’s roast duck taste good, is a bit stuffed teeth, back to the old Zhang said a word, this cooking still have to mention …… again.
Everyone scolded the flood beast, I Lao Tai think it is quite cute, and even want to come a few more times …… This is not a flood ah, this is clearly a wealth of water ah. When the flood came, he was scared enough, he really had eyes and did not know Mt. ……
“Yo, this is not Boss Tai?”
Boss Tai was walking and heard a greeting from behind, stopped his steps and turned his head to see the person who clasped his fists and gave himself a greeting. The person who came had a round head and a big face, particularly festive looking, shy with a big belly, grinning, clasping his fists like a Maitreya Buddha.
This person he is too familiar with, is his Fengtai grain shop diagonally across the Yongfeng grain shop Lu boss. Peer is the enemy, they are usually not less than a shot in the dark, but on the face of it all get by.
These days he Fengtai grain shop made a lot of money, Yongfeng grain shop is naturally the same.
Make more money, the mood is naturally good, Tai Boss also smilingly clasped his fist to return the salute, familiar back with the greetings, “Heh heh, Lu Boss, good morning ah, congratulations on the fortune ah.”
“Hahahahaha, same happy, same happy.”Boss Lu squeezed his eyes, smiling little eyes can not be found.
Heh heh heh, not the same joy ah, Boss Tai couldn’t help but laugh along with him.
Recently business has been too good, as long as there is grain, the people in the county are crazy to rush to buy, the two people are pressed not to compete, the relationship is many times better than usual.
“Oh, old Tai, no way, this weight of yours has also rubbed off on you.”
Boss Lu sized up Boss Tai and felt that he had gained some weight again, he couldn’t help but laughingly joked.
“Oh, old Lu ah, I’m not learning from you.”
Boss Tai slapped Boss Lu’s Maitreya belly with his hand and said smilingly.
“Oh, to say to learn, I still have to learn with you ah, I heard that you have a concubine, your mother tiger how to agree, fast with me to say, brother I also learn a couple of hands …… “Lu Boss’s hooked Tai Boss’s shoulders, squeezing the small eyes, lewdly said.
“Hahaha, I’ll tell you ah, the secret is very simple, guarantee that you will be used for a lifetime ……”
The two of them hooked shoulders and chatted while walking slowly towards the grain shop, even their names became Old Lu and Old Tai, and along the way the two of them let out a burst of laughter from time to time.
“Why are the two of them as good as brothers, don’t they usually fight quite hard?”
The shopkeeper of the cloth shop on the street saw the two of them, Shopkeeper Tai and Shopkeeper Lu, walking together, as if they were wearing the same trousers, and couldn’t help but open their mouths wide in surprise, rubbing their eyes in disbelief, as if they saw a sow going up a tree, and the sun rising in the west.
“Heh, if the cloth is also like food how to increase prices are in short supply, believe it or not you and Liu shopkeeper’s can also be good as wearing a pair of trousers.”The neighbouring grocer first spat on the backs of both Boss Tai and Boss Lu, then said to the cloth shopkeeper.
The Liu shopkeeper in his mouth is another cloth shop on this street, not far away from each other, the so-called peers are enemies, the two cloth shopkeepers have also been fighting openly and secretly, not dealing with each other.
“Bah, who wears the same trousers with him!”The cloth shopkeeper can’t help but spit at the thought of that scene, but also understand the meaning of the grocery shopkeeper, envious and cynical looking at the back of the Tai shopkeeper and the Lu shopkeeper, emotionally complex complained, “This dog said that the price of food rises too fast, the two people don’t mind the silver hot hands!”
“Would you mind silver hot?”The shopkeeper of the grocery shop asked in return.
The shopkeeper of the cloth shop then did not make a sound, who would mind silver hot hands! Even if you take silver from the fire, you can still take it.
Tai shopkeeper and Lu shopkeeper two hooked shoulders to the street where the grain shop, and not surprisingly saw two grain shop in front of the early crowded waiting to open the door of the people, the two people can not help but look at each other a smile.
“Oh, picking up money again. Boss Tai, please.”
“Boss Lu, please.”
Boss Tai and Boss Lu both clasped their fists and smiled as they each went to their respective grain shops.
“The shopkeeper is here, the shopkeeper is here ……”
Seeing the two men arrive, the people looking on in front of the shop’s door excitedly shouted out. The two were like two drops of water into a boiling hot frying pan, instantly boiling over.
“Boss Tai ah, it’s me ah, do you still remember, we drank wine together back then ah, today you can give me two more jin of rice ah. I could only buy three jin yesterday, it’s not enough to eat at all.”
“Uncle Tai, I’m five jin, my mother said you even hugged me before, my mother asked me to buy rice. Uncle Tai, you have to sell me some more, or else my mother won’t let me in.”
“Xiao Tai ah, I’m your third grandpa ah, you won’t be doing any limited sales again today, I’m telling you ah, you’re just limited to whoever, but also can’t be limited to your third grandpa me ah.”
……
The people waiting in front of the Fengtai Grain Shop were like sharks asking for this fishy smell, emotionally swarming over, giving Boss Tai a chance to get close to him while fighting for the right to buy a few more pounds of rice.
If you just look at the surface, Shopkeeper Tai and the others were definitely the most popular group of people in Jingnan. The popularity of Boss Tai and the others was, how should I put it, like a traffic star who had just stepped off a plane at a modern airport and was greeted by fans in clusters.
Of course, in reality, each of these people who clustered to greet Boss Tai were cursing him in their hearts for being black-hearted, the price of this grain rising three times a day, not even a little bit of face.
“I have no choice but to sell this limited amount of food, the shop has limited food, everyone is from the countryside, and the family is short of food, I sell it to you and not to him, this is not letting people poke their spine? I’m selling in limited quantities so that everyone can buy some rations. Today is the same, in the morning, only six hundred catties will be sold, and each person can still only buy three catties.”
Tai shopkeeper in the crowd in the welcome to the door, in the crowd of hot eyes took out the key, handed over to the door has been waiting in the door of the two workers, by them to open the shop door, they are holding a fist to the crowd, said, a face of righteousness, the crown.
As for the actual why, not to mention the crowd do not believe, Tai shopkeeper himself do not believe.
