Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 3314 On the Road (make up and change)

  Bai Shan and Yin or several said: "We are going to stay here for three days, one is to worship the ancestors, and the other is to visit relatives, so you can play by yourself first, meet in the city three days later, and then leave."

   Yin or Ying, with a longevity, he visited the gods and Buddhas in the mountains.

  After walking by land for another day from Longzhou, they arrived at the water's edge. .

  Bai Shan booked a ship with people half a year in advance, and the carriages, horses, and cargoes went directly on board.

  Except for the higher shipping rates, there is nothing wrong with it.

Zhou Man prepared seasickness medicine and patches in advance. Those who were seasick should take medicine and take medicine. They should take medicine and apply medicine. They went down the Jialing River all the way down the road. The boat stopped halfway to make up for three times. Each time Bai Shan took the children off the boat. , Let them take a look at the outside world.

  When they arrived in Longzhou, they disembarked, Liu Gui and the Zhou family brothers stared at the ship and unloaded the cargo. Bai Shan and the others took their children into the city to go shopping.

Mrs. Liu didn’t have that good energy and didn’t want to go to other places, so she waved and said, “We’ll be waiting for you in the inn next door. Going back to Mianzhou."

  Bai Shan responded and left happily holding the baby.

   "Longzhou, I have passed by a few times, but I haven't played well yet," Bai Shan asked Yin or, "Would you like to stay and visit famous mountain scholars?"

   Yin or shook his head, "I will go to Mianzhou with you first."

  He smiled and said, "I also want to see what Qili Village is like."

  A few people took their children to the restaurant to eat delicious food, and then they went shopping on the street.

  After being on the boat for a long time, they always feel that people walking on the street are shaking, but the children seem to accept it well. Not only do they eat well on the boat, they also sleep well, and they are in better condition than adults.

   Zhou Man bought a sugar man for each of them. He turned his head and saw a lot of people surrounded by a grain shop, so he looked at it curiously.

   Seeing this, Bai Shan asked someone who had passed by, "Excuse me, Xiongtai, what is this food shop doing?"

The man raised his head and glanced at Bai Shan. He smiled when he saw that he was holding a child with pink jade in his arms, "Lang Jun is from a foreign city. Our food shops in Longzhou have been in Qingchen for the past few days. For rice, four cents per liter, and many people come to buy it."

   "Chen Mi?" Bai Shan was curious, "How long ago?"

   "It’s from the year before last, and there are even worse ones from the year before last, but they are all newly crushed, so they almost taste."

  Bai Shan glanced at Da Ji.

  Daji squeezed in and bought three cloth bags. Each cloth bag contained a few kilograms of rice.

  Bai Shan and the others found a tea shop nearby to sit and wait. Bai Jingxing and Bai Ruoyu were just when cats and dogs hated them, and couldn't be idle for a moment. They just sat down and started turning their buttocks around to look around.

  Mingda glanced at the two of them, and invited the man to say, "Can you have some snacks? Give the children some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes."

   Attempts to block their chirping mouths and their eager hands with delicious food.

  Daji came over with a cloth bag and opened it to them, "Chen rice is divided into three types, and the prices are three, four and five."

Zhou Man took a look, rubbed it and smelled it again, "It's a bit of a smell, but it's not heavy. It hasn't been soaked in sulfur. It should have been released after being crushed. Well, there are still small stones in it. "

  Bai Shan also looked at the other two bags of rice. One of them was broken. He chewed a few bites and the taste was really not good. “This should be a three-piece one. Although the taste is not good, the price is really cheap.”

  Yin might invite a man, and asked curiously: "Why does your grain shop here suddenly sell aged rice at a low price? Could it be this aged rice..."

  "Don’t get me wrong, guest officer, are you from a foreign city?"

  A few people nodded.

The guy laughed and said, "This year’s new grain is coming out, and it’s a bumper harvest, so the old grain is released ahead of time to free up the warehouse. If I say that the old grain is not bad, it just tastes almost, but it’s so cheap. Even a poor house can eat a few meals. Isn’t it better than drinking gruel? If it were me, I would be happy to buy it.”

  Bai Shan nodded, and was about to continue to ask, the person at the next table sneered: "It's just a show."

  Bai Shan looked over and saw that they were all dressed up as scribes, apparently scholars, so they stopped the dude and said, "Give them two plates of dim sum and a plate of meat on the table next door and charge them to our account."

  The guy who was originally upset and wanted to refute, immediately went happily.

  The three people at the table next door also heard it, and turned their heads to look at them curiously.

  Bai Shan stood up and handed over with them: "Xiongtai just said that there are other hidden reasons why the grain shop sells rice?"

  The three of them looked at them suspiciously. Seeing that they were also gentle and elegant, they seemed to be scholars, and they asked, "How many are they?"

"Oh, we are scholars who have returned to our hometown from other places. We just passed by Longzhou and stayed for a day." Bai Shan laughed: "We have passed many places all the way south, but it is rare to see a grain shop selling old rice with fanfare. Looking at the price, they are considered kind, but I don’t agree with the three Xiongtai."

  "You can’t look at people on the surface, and you can’t look at things," one person said: "Don’t look at him selling Chen rice at a lower price. It seems that he is benefiting the people, but looking at the consequences, you know otherwise."

   "Oh?" Bai Shan turned his chair in one direction and sat directly facing them, "I would like to hear more."

"Our Longzhou harvest has been good in Chengdu in recent years. Although it was a little dry in the beginning of spring this year, it rained to keep up. Depending on the situation in the field this year, it was a good harvest time," said one person: "The harvest is a good year. In addition, new rice varieties are planted, and the yield is high, and the price of grain is getting cheaper every year."

He smiled and said: "Seriously, I grew up so much. For the first time I saw that a bucket of rice could cost ten cents. You know, when Yizhou was flooded, the price of rice in our Jiannan Road area had been in the same area for several years. After fifteen essays, it fell back later, and it was also wandering between twelve essays."

"Since the spread of new rice varieties four years ago, the price of grain has been lower every year. Last year, the price of rice in the grain store fluctuated between eight and nine. This year I am afraid that the price will be lower," the person said. I sighed here, "This is a good thing, but it's not all a good thing. The price of food is low, and the food merchants earn less, so they desperately lower the purchase price."

  "They rush out the old rice before the new grain arrives. They can clear the storeroom, and they can also push down the price of the new grain."

  Bai Erlang: "You guys think too much, then you can't keep Chen Liang in the warehouse and become bad, right?"

Bai Shan stopped Bai Erlang's words and said to him: "Chen grain is used for many purposes. General grain merchants have ways to deal with it, and they will not lose too much. If they are sold directly to the people like this, they will actually ruin their own business. They did this, which shows that they have other conspiracies."

  Shirajiro is currently writing a textbook for merchants and celebrities, and a bit of his father’s image has been substituted, so he said: "Perhaps they just want to do good things? Don't think people so bad."

Bai Shan shook his head and said, "Four brothers will not do this kind of thing. Merchants seek profit. This is not to belittle them. It is their... nature, or duty, to find ways to earn more within the law. A lot of money, isn't this the nature of the businessman?"

  A scribe slapped the table fiercely, and happily said, "That's what it means."

See you tomorrow
