The study is on East Street, not far from their Xiyue Restaurant.

When they walked to Xiyue Restaurant, they found that their restaurant was full of people.

"Husband, when did our Xiyue Restaurant's business become so good?"

Lin Yunxi had a puzzled look on her face. She knew that business at Xiyue Restaurant was good, but it had not been so good before. There were three floors outside and three floors full of people. If they wanted to queue up for a meal, they would have to wait in line for at least one person. hour.

"Let's go ask." Murong Hao didn't know why he was like this.

Murong Hao took Lin Yunxi's hand, came to the queue, and asked a middle-aged man.

"Brother, why are so many people queuing up at Xiyue Restaurant and there are no people in other restaurants?" Murong Hao asked politely.

"Brother, you are from outside, right? The price of meat has been rising in the past two months since we came to the capital. The prices of meat dishes in various restaurants have begun to increase, and the portions are much smaller than before.

Only the meat dishes at Xiyue Restaurant remained at the same price as before, and the portions were still generous, so naturally people lined up to eat. "

"That's it, thank you."

Murong Hao politely thanked him and looked at Lin Yunxi.

"Xier, why don't you raise the price of the meat and vegetables at Xiyue Restaurant?" Murong Hao asked in a low voice.

"My husband has forgotten that the meat used in Xiyue Restaurant is provided by Qingshanzhai. In addition to being used as sausages and bacon, Qingshanzhai's pork will be supplied to Xiyue Restaurant. Xiyue Restaurant has not used any meat on the market since it opened. ”

"I see, why did the price of meat on the market suddenly increase? Come on, let's go to other restaurants to see the situation."

Murong Hao thought that they had to eat anyway, so they went out in disguise today so they couldn't eat at his restaurant. They were too lazy to queue up and went to other restaurants to check, maybe they could find out the real reason.

"Okay, let's find a popular restaurant."

Lin Yunxi held Murong Hao's hand and walked on East Street for a while.

I saw a restaurant called Wanfulou. Although there was no queue outside, there were many customers sitting at the tables inside. I thought the food would not be too bad.

"Husband, let's choose this one."

"it is good."

The two entered Wanfu Building and sat down in the lobby on the first floor.

"Ma'am, please order."

Since the two met, Murong Hao has always asked Xi'er to order first every time he orders food. He doesn't pay much attention to food, and he likes whatever Xi'er likes to eat.

Lin Yunxi knew his habit and was not polite to him. She picked up the menu and took a look.

Seeing this, her eyes widened. She had indeed not left the palace for a long time, and now the price of food in restaurants outside had more than doubled.

"Husband, the price of the food has more than doubled." Lin Yunxi showed Murong Hao the menu with surprise on his face.

"Madam, just order it, we can afford it." Murong Hao smiled and looked at the menu.

His words were heard by the two big men at the next table.

"We can't afford meat anymore. Rice is okay and cheap, but we really can't afford this meat dish." A big man looked at Murong Hao and shook his head.

Murong Hao ignored them and pushed the menu to Lin Yunxi to continue ordering.

Lin Yunxi ordered mainly meat dishes according to the appetite of the two of them. She wanted to see the portion size of the meat dishes.

Soon, Lin Yunxi ordered 6 meat dishes and all were served.

Looking at the six meat dishes, there was almost no meat to be found, Lin Yunxi frowned.

"This is not stir-fried meat with green bamboo shoots, but stir-fried green bamboo shoots with meat. There are only two or three pieces of meat?" Lin Yunxi pointed at a plate of stir-fried meat with green bamboo shoots and shook his head helplessly.

"Madam, this is how you eat out now, looking for meat among the vegetarian dishes."

The big man on the side saw Lin Yunxi looking at the food on the table with disgust and said enthusiastically.

"Brother, do you know why this is the case? If you go to the capital without any trouble, why are the prices of meat and vegetables so high?"

Seeing that the two big men had no ill intentions, Lin Yunxi asked in the tone of an old woman.

"You two must be outsiders who have just arrived in the capital. Two months ago, the price of meat in the capital began to rise. I don't know if it's the pork that the common people eat, or the mutton or venison that rich people like to eat. The price has increased. Yes,

I heard that many pigs and sheep died in the farmers' farms. We don't know the specific reason. Now only the rich officials and businessmen can still eat meat normally. We ordinary people can only eat meat once in a long time. Consider improving life. "

The big man answered Lin Yunxi's question enthusiastically. He looked at the meat and vegetables on his table and shook his head helplessly.

"That's it. Thank you little brother for clarifying my doubts. Let's eat." Lin Yunxi said warmly in the voice of an old woman.

Murong Hao felt sad again when he saw her using such an old voice.

Fortunately, they are still in their prime now, and he still has time to spend time with Xi'er.

"Husband, let's eat."

Murong Hao was brought back to reality by Lin Yunxi's words.

"Okay, let's eat."

The meal for the two of them was like a vegetarian meal. They didn't eat a few pieces of meat, but they ate a lot of vegetarian dishes.

"Madam, would you like to order some food?"

Murong Hao knew Xi'er's appetite. She was a meat-loving person, so she would definitely not be full if she ate all vegetarian dishes.

"No, I'm full. My husband, please go somewhere with Xi'er."

The taste of this restaurant is mediocre and the meat is meager. Lin Yunxi will not waste money and time here.

"it is good."

After the two paid the bill, Lin Yunxi took Murong Hao's hand and walked out of East Street and towards the vegetable market on West Street.

"Husband, let's go to the vegetable market and see what's going on there."

"it is good."

Murong Hao felt happy when he saw her holding his hand and walking to the vegetable market. He liked living a normal married life with Xi'er, so he held Lin Yunxi's hand tightly.

Soon, the two entered the vegetable market. They paid attention to their age and slowed down their pace.

Lin Yunxi took Murong Hao's hand and walked straight to the meat stall.

Lin Yunxi and Murong Hao had been there once before when they went to the Hot Spring Villa for a barbecue. Tian San told her that this market was the largest vegetable market in Dongsheng Kingdom, and most of the people in the capital would come here to buy meat.

The last time they came to this market, it was crowded. Now, when they come here, there are still some people in the vegetarian market, but there are not many people in the butcher stalls. Moreover, the number of butcher stalls is much higher than before. Many butcher shops in the market are closed. Door.

Lin Yunxi led Murong Hao towards a meat stall.

"Brother, what's the price of lean pork today?" Lin Yunxi has a good memory. She remembers the price a few years ago.

"Thirty cents and ten taels."

When Lin Yunxi heard this, her watery eyes widened. The price of pork was more than twice as expensive as before. It seemed that the price of meat in Shangjing City had increased from supply to dining table.

After the couple left the market, Lin Yunxi was no longer calm, so she called Bingqin.

"Bingqin, tomorrow I will summon Young Master Luo, Consort Ding and Prince Gong to the palace to see me. I have something to ask them, so let's set a time."

"Yes, empress." Bingqin took the order and stepped back.

Murong Hao saw her frowning and rubbed her eyebrows with his hand.

"Madam, don't worry. In the future, we will often go out of the palace to see the lives of the people. This kind of thing can only be seen where the people live.

None of the officials reported this matter to me. It seems that their salary was still too much. "

Murong Hao didn't expect that no one had reported this incident after two months.

"Husband, officials live a comfortable life. Doubling the price of meat may be a small matter to them, but it is a big deal to the people. We need to go out of the palace more often to check the people's livelihood to know the people's situation."

Murong Hao seemed thoughtful and nodded.
