Chapter 1801 Grain Shop Shopkeeper

She has several Yipinxiang households and several spare granaries. It can be said that the food she collects every year is enough for an army of tens of thousands to eat a lot of time.

Bai Mei's lips also moved up and down for a long time, and some words, but she didn't know how to ask them out?

"lady."

"Well," Shen Qingci listened?

"You said, is there really a food shortage this week?"

Shen Qingci raised his face and looked at the dull rain curtain outside.

"Whether there is a grain shortage, it depends on the rain and how long it will last. If it rains today and tomorrow is sunny, there may be a glimmer of hope, but if it has been like this for a month, it may be the case in all likelihood. already."

And Bai Mei's heart couldn't help but sank, just like the sky at this time, it was so gray and pressed down.

The rain is still falling like this, and it seems to be unwilling to stop.

Every time they thought that the rain was light, it might be clearing up, but it didn't take long for it to rain down, and this kind of rain started on the first day, and it has been raining for five days now. It's time.

Shen Qingci leaned against the door and looked at the rain curtain outside. In fact, she already felt that she guessed correctly, this year's harvest may be ruined.

I don't know how much food the eldest sister received, and in order to avoid suspicion, she has never left the door of Shuowang's mansion, and of course she has no contact with the eldest sister for the time being.

However, she believed that the eldest sister, by now, has received a lot of food.

After all, Prince Jun's Mansion is not another family. They naturally have their own means.

Therefore, she has never been worried about the eldest sister. On the contrary, at Duke Wei's mansion, she was really worried, just because she didn't trust Lin Yunniang.

However, Lin Yunniang has read a lot of books. Even if Lin Shangshu has taught such a failed daughter, there are some things that are at stake in life and death.

She should be able to feel it, even Bai Mei thought about it, she didn't believe that Lin Yunniang's brain would be simpler than Bai Mei?

Or, Lin Shangshu gave birth to her, but he did not give her a good head.

She let out a soft sigh of relief. She was a little restless under the rain, especially when she thought of the barren years that might follow.

Da Zhou has gone through several years of famine, and how many people have died. Now, she still remembers that they finally had such a peaceful and prosperous world, and she really doesn't want to be dead anymore.

"jiji..."

A little white fox ran over and called out to Shen Qingci.

Shen Qingci squatted down and picked it up.

"It's so white that it's grown a bit longer."

Shen Qingci weighed the weight of the brand white. It was indeed much heavier than when he returned from Xiangjue Temple, and the coat color was also much better.

"Bring Bai, you say, if the rain continues, how much food will you get?"

"Half, or half, or nothing?"

Laobai tilted his head, indicating that the fox didn't know what the master said. The fox only knew now that the rain was not fun, and it hadn't gone out for a long time.

Going out will stain the hair on the body and the claws, and the owner will not like it.

Shen Qingci put the branding down, and was also going to the incense room to listen to the rain, make spices, natural disasters and man-made disasters, in the end, it would affect some businesses

But the whole capital was full of laughter and laughter. Even on such a heavy rainy day, those talented people who described themselves as romantic, also talked about the rain and had feelings for the rain, and they never stopped for a day.

The wealth here is unknown to other people, but these people's people's hearts are dull, but they are also terrible.

She walked into the incense room, also put the brand white on the table to the side, and started to make spices.

"grumble……"

White called out.

"The door is not closed, you can come in."

Shen Qingci didn't hear the sound, and she didn't feel that anyone would come in. She just smelled the breath on Bai Mei's body, which seemed to have a hint of moss.

The door outside opened, and indeed, it was Baimei.

"Madam, the little servant who asked about the news came back and said that the price of food has started to rise."

As I expected, Shen Qingci had thought about this, but of course the people in the capital are still dull, and it is only now that prices are starting to rise.

And these people who open grain shops have the most eyes and ears. Thinking about it, they should know better than others what the harvest is like outside.

"Find me a rice shop shopkeeper, I want to ask a few questions."

"Yes."

Bai Mei went out quickly, also preparing to find someone to come back.

About a quarter of an hour later, the shopkeeper of a rice shop was also invited over by Bai Mei. Of course, the guards of Shuowang's mansion all came here with his collar, and his shoes were not even on the ground. , of course, did not walk a step on their own.

It's just that he really doesn't know.

He is doing business honestly, how can he be invited to the Shuowangfu, this is the Shuowufu, where the royal family also lives, he is a little-known person, how can he be Coming here, isn't it weird?

Of course, he was also frightened, unable to speak, and unable to move his feet.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be carried away.

Who made his legs so weak now that he couldn't walk even a single step.

When he was in a hall, the two guards also put him down, and his feet finally stepped on the ground, but no matter how weak his legs were, the person was lying on the ground, and he quickly got up, Kneeling on the ground

Anyway, there was nothing wrong with kneeling, so he clapped his hands for his own sense of taste.

"Are you the shopkeeper of the grain shop?"

And he also heard a voice, listening to this voice, it seems that she is not very old, it should be a very young woman.

It should be between fifteen and sixteen years old, and it is impossible to exceed eighteen.

Although the grain shop shopkeeper did not know who this person was, he was a person who was extremely aware of current affairs.

"Yes," he replied quickly, "Xiaomin is the shopkeeper of Chengji Grain Shop, Xiaomin's surname is Jiang, and his family has been running a grain shop for several lifetimes. He has always been in business, and he has always been innocent. , will not use old food as new food, and will not do the things that are short of jins or two on weekdays..."

He kept talking without stopping, and he was about to explain the eighteenth generation of his ancestors clearly. He was a serious businessman, and he did business based on his own conscience.

And those black-hearted silver, he will never earn.

"I see."

The woman behind the veil suddenly interrupted him.

And the shopkeeper really wanted to cry.
