Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

Thanks to Chen Ji, the people of Hangzhou knew for the first time that there are so many varieties of mooncakes eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival!

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Kee dim sum spread to all directions, centered in Hangzhou, and Chen Kee became famous in Vietnam.

After the busy Mid-Autumn Festival, the second production workshop of Chen Kee Processing Factory began to specialize in the production of various pastries. The daily orders were overwhelmed, and the processing factory almost had to work three shifts to make the orders!

During this period, Mammy Gao and Mrs. Ji jointly invited Chen Xi to go to the appointment, but Chen Xi was busy with the processing plant and had no time to pay attention to them, so he didn't go at all!

After August, the price of food finally dropped, and the victims were basically resettled. A considerable number of the victims even did not plan to return to their place of origin and settled directly around Hangzhou.

The grain that Chen Xi had stored before was basically exhausted. With this experience, she planned to take advantage of the new grain to store another batch of grain, whether in Hangzhou or Qingshui County!

Chen Xi thought that her secret purchase would not be discovered like last time, but she forgot that there is now a grain arranging officer Ji Mintao in Hangzhou.

Ji Mintao noticed it when Chen Xi made a big effort to purchase and store grain, and he quickly sent someone to investigate.

Originally, Ji Mintao wanted to accuse Chen Xi of "raising the price of food." However, Ji Mintao soon discovered that Chen Xi did not sell the food, and that it was purchased according to the market price. There was no malicious behavior, so if he wanted to pin this crime on Chen Xi, , it’s about to work!

Ji Mintao hesitated for a while and finally decided to give up!

Now that he has lost his official position, I don’t know how many opponents are watching him. If he does these things,

If someone caught him in love, he would never recover again!

Besides, there is Lin Changqing behind Chen Xi. If something happens to Chen Xi, Lin Changqing will be the first to jump out. Lin Changqing has a solid foundation in Hangzhou, so it is better not to offend him easily.

However, without adding unfounded charges to Chen Xi, Ji Mintao can still make things difficult for Chen Xi. Besides, he is now the grain raising officer. He also has to raise grain. Chen Xi is also purchasing grain. This is not to compete with him. Come?

Chen Xi soon discovered that he could not receive any food!

All the grain merchants said that all the grain in their hands had been taken away by Mr. Ji, and there was no way to distribute more grain to Chen Ji.

Chen Xi thought it was a coincidence at first. After all, as the new grain came out, Ji Mintao, as the grain arranging officer, would definitely work hard to collect grain at this time to fill the gap in grain distribution during the previous two months of disaster relief.

Since the grain merchants in Hangzhou had no grain, Chen Xi started elsewhere.

But she soon discovered that even if she asked the grain merchants in Changzhou, they could not promise to give her food!

Finally, a grain merchant who was familiar with Chen Ji secretly told her that Mr. Ji had secretly issued an order. This year, all grain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang would be under the unified control of Mr. Ji. The purpose was to first ensure the military supplies of the capital and the imperial court, and secondly, to ensure the military supplies of the capital and the imperial court. market.

But Chen Xi inquired and found out that some other merchants in the food business who needed grain had grain in their hands, and the grain merchants also sold grain to them normally. Why couldn't Chen Ji collect the grain?

Chen Xi asked others to inquire without showing up, and finally found out that the grain merchants had put a large amount of

Anyone who sells grain must have Master Ji's approval. But if Chen Xi wants to buy grain, without Master Ji's approval, the grain merchant would not dare to sell it to her!

Only then did Chen Xi realize that Ji Mintao was taking advantage of his position to deliberately block her!

Chen Xi immediately asked someone to count the grains he had in hand. Judging from the current grain reserves, he could continue the business for at most two months. After two months, Chen Ji's grains would be used up, and even the grains in stock would be used up. !

No, we must think of other ways immediately!

Ji Mintao is now a grain collector, and her grain is stuck. If she wants to get grain, she has to find a way from another place!

Chen Xi thought about it and decided on the big landowners in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

These big landowners have many fertile fields in their homes. Everyone saves a lot of grain every year, and the excess is put into the market. Some homes even have large granaries to store grain, which is no less than the grain in the hands of grain merchants!

Chen Xi thought for a while, asked He Yun to come forward, and sent many people to contact these big landowners, buy their stocks at market prices, and also give them the newly developed "Zhengchun" wheat seeds!

It was almost time to plant winter wheat. Chen Xi proposed to send new wheat seeds with higher yield, which immediately attracted the attention of many large landowners.

Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Ji's reputation has been very loud in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Everyone knows that Chen Ji is in the food business. Now that they heard that Chen Ji has better wheat seeds, many people are skeptical.

But anyway, wheat seeds are free, and everyone has seen that these wheat seeds are good seeds, even if they can’t be used next year like Chen Ji said

The output has doubled, even if it is the same as in previous years, the free seeds are not in vain!

Therefore, Chen Ji's strategy really allowed her to purchase a lot of grain from major landowners, and at the same time, she also vigorously promoted her own spring wheat seeds.

Chen Xi knows that if the wheat seeds for spring can increase production next year, then these people will come to her to buy wheat seeds next year without her mentioning it!

Originally, Chen Xi was still worried about how to promote Zhengchun Wheat in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Who knew that by some combination of circumstances, she had such a method, which really surprised her.

Ji Mintao was always paying attention to Chen Xi's movements. When he saw Chen Ji pulling a truckload of grain to the processing factory, he immediately sent someone to investigate. Only then did he know Chen Xi's method and had no choice but to do so.

Ji Mintao can now control the grain merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the name of grain raising officer, but he has no right to make arrangements with the big landowners in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!

Ji Mintao originally planned to block Chen Xi for a few months and have some impact on her business, because even if the court collects grain, it is impossible to collect it without limit. Sooner or later, it will be enough, so he will never collect grain from his own pocket. Sooner or later, Chen Xi You can still buy food.

Now it's just that Chen Xi was not delayed by his plan. Although Ji Mintao was regretful, he was not too angry.

By the time Chen Xi finished harvesting grain, it was already the end of September, and Chen Xi and Song Junke made an appointment to have hot pot.

"Business in the flower market has suddenly improved during this period. It seems that it's thanks to Chen Kee's dim sum!"

Chen Xi laughed: "I have an idea, and I came to discuss it with you. I plan to open a 'farmer's market' next to the flower market. The so-called farmer's market means

It specializes in selling crop seedlings, such as wheat seeds, rice seeds, grape saplings, peach saplings, etc. What do you think? "

Song Yuke was shocked!
