Take the space supermarket to farm

Chapter 255
These grain stores are now open late and close early, and sell a limited number of ten shi of grain every day, and the maximum sale is [-] shi, and they refuse to sell any more.

The price of food changes every day, how can you be willing to sell it all at once?
If there is food, it must be said that there is no food.

The warehouse is either full or empty.

Although this Wang family comes from a great family and is the wife of the county magistrate, most people can't afford to offend her.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, she had to buy a large amount of grain and give her a low price. Wouldn't this be a waste of money?

Who can promise such a thing?
However, if he refused, he was afraid of offending the county magistrate.

Since ancient times, people have not fought against officials.

As the saying goes, the county magistrate who destroys the family is the governor who destroys the family.

The merchants who open a grain shop, for the sake of money, they respectfully call you Mrs. Master, Master and Young Mistress, you can't take it seriously.

Relying on one or two businesses and some money in the family, he was bold enough to challenge the wife of the county magistrate.

If you are so ignorant, sooner or later you will bring trouble to your family!

The faces of the female family members of the food line became more and more ugly. No one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere in the room became quite dull.Gradually, some unresolved embarrassment floated in the air.

The smile on the county magistrate's wife Wang's face also faded.

She took a sip from her teacup, and dropped it on the table with a "snap":

"Who made this tea? It's all lukewarm, and I don't know how to change it! What's the matter, the tea is cold before this person leaves?"

After hearing this, the female relatives of Liangxing's family couldn't hold back their trembling.

Immediately, a big servant girl knelt down and pleaded guilty with a "plop":
"Today, the slave is on duty. Forgive me, Madam, the slave will just change the cold tea!"

Xia Daohua secretly picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. The temperature of the tea was quite palatable... It seems that the words of Mrs. Wang, the magistrate's wife, really meant something!

Looking at the female relatives of the food industry, their faces can no longer be described as livid.

At this time, Dong Shi, the young wife of Chen Jiliang, bit the bullet and said:

"My wife wants to buy food, so I shouldn't have quit. It's just that this clever woman can't live without rice!
The boat that our master sent out to buy grain has not sent a letter back for two months.

The last time I sent a message, it said that I encountered a water bandit on the river. The manager originally planned to calm down and give the water bandit some silver taels, which can be regarded as paying for road money.

But there has been no news since then, and it is not known if anyone is okay.

Now, the food in our warehouse has been sold out.The old man was so worried that he couldn't sleep every night, and his hair turned gray.

It's not that I, Chen Jiliangxing, don't want to help, it's really powerless!

I hope my wife will understand me. "

Dong's stature is petite, and she is also gentle and gentle, her voice is not loud, and she is quite coquettish and timid.

But she did the most daring thing among this group of female relatives——she rejected Wang Shi.

Although very euphemistic, although a good reason is given.

But to say no is to say no.

Wang Shi smiled and said nothing.

Beads of crystal clear sweat oozed from Dong's forehead and the tip of his nose, and tears filled his eyes.

But she tried her best not to let the tears fall.

She was also afraid of offending Mrs. Wang, but she couldn't do without saying these words.In case she agrees here, she won't be able to explain to the old man when she goes home.

Although her husband is also a legitimate son, he is neither the eldest son nor the youngest son, and he is not very favored.To tell the truth, there are two younger brothers who are concubines, both of whom are more favored than her husband.

If Chen Ji was with someone else at this time, she would be happy to say something.

But today the old lady was unwell and did not come to the banquet. The sister-in-law went back to her natal home yesterday, and the siblings went out to play with the younger sisters early in the morning.

Therefore, she was the only one who was driven to the shelves to participate in this Hongmen banquet.

Although refusing may not be the best policy, maybe you will have a good meal when you go home... But in any case, it is much better than her ignorantly agreeing.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Mrs. Dong, then turned her gaze away, and stared at the other female family members of the grain line: "What about you? There is also a grain ship that was robbed by water bandits?"

Liu Shi, a female family member of Zhang Jiliang, said with a smile:
"How can it be! My wife is really good at joking!
Our Zhangji grain line is not as rich and powerful as Chen Ji, who can send grain boats to the south of the Yangtze River to buy grain.

As a small family, we just collect some food in bits and pieces in the surrounding villages and towns.

It's just that these days, farmers have to pay summer taxes.

This year is not a good year, and it started to rain before the wheat was harvested. The little grain they harvested was not enough to pay the summer tax. How can there be any surplus that can be sold to us? "

With Dong and Liu taking the lead, the female family members of several other grain companies also complained about their grievances.

In fact, these grain stores have a lot of fields in their own homes.

In addition to purchasing by water from Jiangnan and farmers around Jixiang County, they also have other sources of goods.

They are now refusing to sell grain to the Wang family, but they just want to hoard it.

Of course, Mrs. Dong didn't have this idea.

She just didn't dare to take on the responsibility of "the second is the master".

If she agrees, and then the Patriarch refuses again, it will really offend Wang and County Magistrate Yang.

But she refused first, and if Wang and Yang county magistrates are really not easy to mess with, the Patriarch can come forward to make amends in person.

Anyway, as long as the responsibility is pushed to her young age, ignorance, and nonsense talk, not to mention that it will not affect the relationship between Chen Ji and the county magistrate, at least there is still a lot of room for repairing it. and redeem.

Chen Ji, Zhang Ji, Song Ji, and Wu Ji, these four grain companies, almost control the entire grain business in Jixiang County.

They naturally compete with each other on weekdays, but when facing the county magistrate Yang and the county magistrate's wife, Mrs. Wang, they are unprecedentedly unanimous—anyway, if your family's price has increased, mine can follow suit. Who would be willing to spend money in vain Right?
The female relatives of several families sang together, chatted and laughed, and they all killed a sentence. Because of one or another reason, their own family has no food to sell right now.

Mrs. Wang held the lid of the tea bowl, and gently widened the tea leaves, thinking about it.

These food companies made it clear that they did not want to cooperate.

But since Yang Lang is determined to be a virtuous and capable minister, he can't hinder him.

Naturally, those methods that are not on the table cannot be used.

The belly of the disaster victims is a big deal.

If they don't have enough to eat, no matter if they starve to death, or they can't bear the hunger later, they get up to something and rob the grain store or the granary of the county government.

Not only would there be a stain on Yang Lang's resume, but most importantly, it would hurt Yang Lang's heart.

However, since the grain bank refused to cooperate, where did the grain come from?
She can transfer food from Wang's family, but she can't quench her thirst from afar.

　Not today.See you tomorrow.Good night, sweet dreams.
