Chapter 444 Change of Heaven
Seeing that his face was getting worse and worse, Uncle Ping weighed the purse and then changed the topic.
"But, since Shopkeeper Wang is here, I have to ask."
Uncle Ping's usual calmness and seriousness suddenly disappeared, and his face showed the unique smoothness of a businessman. When these words fell into Shopkeeper Wang's eyes, he suddenly felt happy.
Shopkeeper Ping used to have a decent face, but he never thought that he was also a smart person.
"Then I'll bother shopkeeper Ping."
Shopkeeper Wang smiled and narrowed his eyes, feeling that half of the matter was already done. He reached out and took out another purse from his pocket.
"Here, I'm inviting shopkeeper Ping to tea. It's hard work, hard work."
Feeling that the matter was settled, shopkeeper Wang didn't stay here any longer. He just drank the tea soup happily and returned to his shop happily.
As long as shopkeeper Na Ping is not as decent as they thought, the city lord's wife is nothing more than a gimmick.
He had already said that the city lord's wife was just a purdah woman, how could she know anything about business?
Now it seems that she not only doesn't understand business, but also doesn't understand how to win people's hearts. Otherwise, how could Shopkeeper Ping take his money so easily?
The more he thought about it, the more proud Shopkeeper Wang became.
Even looking at the dirty snow piled up on the roadside no longer disgusted me.
It’s nice to have snow. The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. Next year will be another good harvest
Humming a little tune, Shopkeeper Wang had a smile on his face, feeling that the desolate street was becoming more pleasant.
Seeing the brisk figure of shopkeeper Wang through the window on the second floor, Uncle Ping just sneered and weighed the two purses in his hands.
According to his opinion, there was no more than ten taels of silver in it.
Ten taels of silver...
Uncle Ping curled his lips, somewhat disdainfully.
Since Shopkeeper Wang's grain store is not small, how can he only use so much money to maintain relationships when asking for help?
Either he was really stupid, or he just looked down on people. In the past, with so much money, he would just smile and ask people to go away.
Now, don’t give it up for free.
It just so happened that the boss was still worried about food, so he could still buy some food with these ten taels of silver.
As for the price of food, he is just a manager, how can he influence the owner's thoughts?
The sky was getting dark, and the number of people crowding in the grain shops to buy grain finally decreased.
Seeing them hiding their faces and returning in panic, Liu Da felt a little uncomfortable.
An Wazi was young and couldn't see clearly the twists and turns. He just felt that the business in the shop was good and he was happy.
"You silly boy, why are you laughing?" Wang Sheng rubbed his head with a look of helplessness on his face.
The New Year is about to come, and I don’t know if I can survive this day.
"Brother Wang, the business in the shop is great today! The food in our shop is almost sold out."
An Wazi has made three trips to the warehouse at the back today.
Since Sanweiju stopped its food business, the kitchen and cellar, along with the few empty rooms, have been used to stockpile food.
His family was poor and he had never seen so much food. This time when he saw the food bags all over the house, his eyes almost fell to the ground.
Wang Sheng and Liu Da looked at each other and sighed.
This child is still young and doesn't understand things.
God is so weird, he really doesn't understand what this old man is thinking.
Lu Daliang was worried about his family, so he approached Nanzhi on the day the restaurant was converted into a grain store.
Knowing that he was thinking about his family, Nanzhi only paid him his wages and gave him a bag of grain.
Lin Xiaoquan was young, and Nanzhi originally wanted him to go home and stock up on more food, but the boy was so honest that he only used his wages to buy three hundred kilograms of food in the shop and had it sent home. Be willing to leave.
In his words, Nanzhi is a good shopkeeper. Now that the shop is short of people, he can't just leave.
After walking around for a long time, the old man from before was still the only one left in the shop.
Although the newcomers didn't want to leave, they saw that their wages would be reduced a lot if they changed the grain store, so they resigned one after another.
Nanzhi didn't think there was anything wrong with them, and let them go after giving each of them fifty kilograms of grain.
Now that Sanweiju has been replaced and converted into a food shop, she also simply took out the brand of the small courtyard next door and asked several girls to learn how to marinate meat.
Yancheng is a business-focused city, so the prices of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are very cheap. Almost 90% of people stock up on them at home for several months at a time, so she doesn't have to worry about these things.
Moreover, there are so many people in Yancheng, it is impossible for her to take care of them all.
All she could do was do everything she could think of.
The originally quiet and elegant courtyard was now covered with bacon, with no end in sight.
She sells bacon so cheaply that she even loses thirty to five cents per pound.
But even so, she also invested a lot of money into it.
Bacon was sold cheaply, so she said that these meats were made from mixed meats and were not as good as those in the market. Therefore, people from better-off families were naturally not willing to spend money to buy mixed meats, and only those from poorer families could buy them. Up some.
Now she was losing more than twenty taels every day, but looking at the snow that was getting thicker and thicker, Nanzhi felt panicked.
These are not enough.
The young girls in the yard all had their tender hands swollen to the point of trotters from the cold, but they knew in their hearts that this was a life-saving thing, and none of them were willing to be lazy.
Xu Chou was now worth thousands of taels. After guessing something, he didn't keep any money, and gave it all to Nanzhi to buy food.
Unfortunately, the people she sent out were never heard from again.
The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
The weather rarely cleared up again.
The sunlight falling on people's bodies no longer has the warmth it once had. Now it is like a fragile thin layer of light that shines on the ground for people to look at.
The rice grains in Lin's grain store had been sold out in half a month, leaving only the 600 kilograms that Nanzhi had hidden in the cellar.
There are still two thousand kilograms of grain left in the county government's warehouse.
Although it looked like a lot, it only seemed so small compared to the 200,000 people.
The prices at other grain stores in the city have now risen to thirty cents per catty for old rice, and the astronomical price of fifty cents for new rice. Those who had not grabbed grain from Lin's Grain Shop earlier felt regretful and their liver ached, but every time I went to look in front of the door and found that the doors of Lin's grain store were all closed.
In the small courtyard next door, even the Lin family were hard at work.
Mother Lin looked at the meat in the basin and felt that her hands were sore and swollen.
When her daughter said that things were going to change and asked them to stock up on more grain and bacon at home, she just thought it was the one who had failed, but she never thought that it would be like the original Lihua Village.
Looking at the increasingly weird weather, Mother Lin's heart was pounding.
This God is angry, and he really doesn't care about the life or death of mortals like them.
