Chapter 567 The Second Most Capable Person in Xiaoan Village

Yan Laoer's mind turned quickly.

To put it bluntly, buying coal in Xizhou is essentially a business.

Coal is in short supply.

Party B has an urgent need, and Party A is more difficult to deal with.

Thinking this way, it is much easier to understand.

The prince came forward to connect with the upper level, and he could not do everything himself. There still needs to be some people doing things below.

He is fighting for this quota.

So at this time, what he has to do is to show his advantages to the big boss.

Yan Laoer's chatterbox opened.

"...We came here from our hometown in Qishan with the help of a mileage map. Most of the villagers have never traveled far. Now I think that we are lucky. Although there were many twists and turns on the road, we finally arrived in Guanzhou safely."

"It's cold here, but it's hot in our hometown. I don't know what God is thinking. It's so good to have a uniform distribution. I didn't expect that the charcoal burning method recorded in the old book I bought earlier would come in handy.

Your Majesty, you are wise. Our family didn't make that dirty money. We burned and sold charcoal honestly... That's right, these businessmen are cunning. If we really sell it cheaply, ordinary people won't benefit from it. Those big families will take it all, and they will make a profit in the middle. I don't know what the price will be when we sell it again.

In the end, there is still not enough firewood and charcoal...I heard that the prince is going to Xizhou to buy coal. If we can transport coal at this critical moment, we can lower the price of charcoal. Oh, that would be great!" Yan Laoer said with expectation.

The King of England quite likes to listen to Yan Huaian's chatter.

Mainly because he has a preconceived notion that he is a talkative person, so he doesn't find it too abrupt.

At first, he felt a little rustic, and his accent was really heavy.

He was totally unlike the scholars he had seen.

But as he listened, Yan Huaian didn't say a single word of falsehood, but just told the truth, talking about their experiences of fleeing famine and their livelihood after arriving in Guanzhou.

The King of England gradually listened to him.

While listening, he was still sighing that Yan Huaian had experienced a lot.

The name of his brother Yan Huaiwen, which appeared several times in the middle, left a deep impression on him.

In Yan Huaian's story, it was his brother Yan Huaiwen who made the big decisions, and he and a group of villagers cooperated with him.

Yan Huaiwen can be said to be the pillar of Xiaoan Village.

It was rare for the King of England to meet someone who was well-informed and chatty. Sitting on the warm kang and eating the food, Yan Huaian went out for a while, and shyly brought back two small jars of wine, and carefully poured him some...

He took a sip, it was not mellow enough and a little sour. No matter how tight the palace was, it was the first time for the King of England to drink such inferior wine.

But...with the voice still chattering in his ears, it felt okay.

…

"Your father wants to pour it for the prince?" Wang Deshan looked over from the window of the opposite room and asked softly.

Yan Yu smiled: "The prince is a distinguished guest. When a distinguished guest comes, we have to treat him well with food and drink."

"What's the devil's idea?" Wang Deshan asked with a chuckle.

At first, only the waiter's father was talking, and then the prince could be heard talking. The voices of the two became louder and louder, and occasionally there were some laughter, so they knew that the two were having a good chat.

So, none of them went to disturb them.

It's rare for the prince to enjoy himself so much.

"Uncle, our family is now providing the firewood and charcoal expenses for Yongning City. The pressure is too great!" Yan Yu said miserably: "If we can't buy coal back, or buy not enough, our business will collapse!

I learned arithmetic and business from my father. As soon as he finished his exam, he checked my accounts and scolded me. Uncle, you can feel my father's enthusiasm, I hope the prince can feel it too. My father... wants to go to Xizhou with the prince. He won't feel at ease unless he sees the coal brought back with his own eyes." Yan Yu lowered his head slightly and whispered: "If I wasn't young and it was inconvenient to follow, I would also like to go. Whether our charcoal yard can maintain its reputation that has been hard to build depends on this time."

Wang Deshan narrowed his eyes and asked uncertainly: "Is it that serious?"

Yan Yu nodded like pounding garlic.

"It's quite serious. If you want to do business for a long time, you have to rely on reputation. We have already snatched the business from other charcoal yards by bargaining with them, so it's not easy to raise the price. If we raise the price, other charcoal yards will follow suit. What's the difference between us and them? Besides, the price of charcoal this year is already very scary, and we really can't raise it.

Our family is a new charcoal yard. If it fluctuates and goes back on its word, it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in the market in the future.

The current charcoal reserves can support us for some time, mainly relying on firewood supplements, and the relief points in various parts of the city also help to share some of the burden. In fact, not only our family, but also all charcoal yards don't have much charcoal reserves...

Uncle, we are worried that the price of charcoal will rise again, and we are even more worried that there will be no charcoal to sell on the market..."

Wang Deshan's eyes shrank, his face remained expressionless, and he just nodded lightly.

"Uncle Wang, do you want to eat more?" Qi Wu asked in a low voice.

Wang Deshan turned around and saw Qi Wu holding a large bowl of well-cooked wide noodles.

"I'm full, you guys eat." Wang Deshan said kindly.

"Waiter, then you eat." Qi Wu didn't need to ask her if she was hungry, they were all the same, the only difference was their size.

"Hey!" Yan Yu happily took the bowl, walked over quickly, and scooped the sauce from the basin for herself.

While slurping the noodles, he pointed out Qi Da who was still cutting the noodles with a knife.

"Uncle Qi, cut it a little narrower, that's right, it's just right, otherwise it's too wide and hard to eat... Ah ah ah... This pot took a little too long to cook, it's okay, it's delicious, let's watch the next pot together, cook it for less time, it will definitely be stronger than this pot!"

Qi Da and Qi Wu attached great importance to the improvement suggestions put forward by Xiao Er, and nodded repeatedly.

Yan Lao Er accompanied the prince for dinner, but it was hard for them, they could only cook noodles by themselves.

Fortunately, Yan Lao Er had prepared the sauce in advance.

Xiao Er knew how to knead the dough, Qi Da learned how to roll and cut, Qi Wu learned how to cook...

After stumbling, they finally got it done.

…

"This Yan Huaian has been talking about his elder brother. I am not sure how talented Yan Huaiwen is, but Huaian knows the direction, can read maps, understands economics, and is good at socializing with people..." The King of England was drunk and said, "Wang Deshan, what do you think about letting Yan Huaian go to Xizhou with the prince?"

Wang Deshan pretended to hesitate: "My lord, the prince has packed his luggage and assembled his troops. He will set off tomorrow. Is it too hasty..."

The King of England thought for a while and smiled: "It's just hasty for Yan Huaian alone. I want to see if he can really do things or is he bragging to me. You don't know that he is the only one in Xiaoan Village except for him. His brother is the second most capable, haha, this time when Xizhou buys coal, this king just happens to see it..."

Wang Deshan hurriedly said: "Then the old slave immediately sent someone to the Yan family to deliver a letter, asking Xiaoer's father to leave with the prince tomorrow morning."

I wanted to take a nap when I came back in the afternoon, but I didn't expect that it was past 9:00 pm when I opened my eyes... It's so hard~o(*////▽////*)q~

Recently, my schedule has been messed up again. No matter what, I will do whatever I want. There will be another update later, but don't wait, don't wait, get up tomorrow morning and read it~
