Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1239 The flood beast is so cute

It has been eight days since the flood, and the people in the south of the Yangtze River are in dire straits, mourning everywhere. If the only ones who are happy are the large and small grain merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. After the flood, the price of grain has soared. As of today, in just eight days, the price of a stone of rice has dropped Soared to 1330 articles.

  Although they lost more than half of their food reserves in the flood, they not only made back their capital in just a few days, but also made a lot of money. The income in these eight days has caught up with the income in the past six months.

  In Jingnan County, the sun rises three poles in the morning. The shopkeeper Tai of Fengtai Grain Shop copied his hands, wearing a brand new robe, walked slowly from his house to the grain shop, picking his teeth with a toothpick as he walked.

When most of Jiangnan is full of hunger and coldness, he has lived a very nourishing life these days. He eats every day like New Year’s Eve. There is no way. Order, eat casually for a whole meal, and accidentally exceed the standard, such as chicken, duck, fish, delicacies, etc., every meal is like Chinese New Year. As long as you have money, you can eat whatever you want, no matter when. Today’s roast duck tastes good, but it’s a bit clogged. Let me tell Lao Zhang later, this cooking skill needs to be mentioned again...

  Everyone scolds the scourge, but I think it's cute, and I even want to do it a few more times... This is not a flood, it's clearly the water of wealth. When the flood came, I was so scared that I really didn't know Mount Tai...

   "Hey, isn't this the shopkeeper Tai?"

  Treasurer Tai was walking, when he heard a greeting from behind, he stopped, turned his head and saw the person who greeted him with fists. The visitor had a round head and a big face, and he looked very festive, with a big belly, grinning, holding his fists like a Maitreya Buddha.

  He is very familiar with this person. He is the shopkeeper Lu of Yongfeng Grain Shop diagonally opposite his Fengtai Grain Shop. Colleagues are enemies, they usually fight openly and secretly a lot, but they can get along on the surface.

  In the past few days, his Fengtai Grain Shop has made a lot of money, and Yongfeng Grain Shop is naturally the same.

  He made a lot of money, and he was in a good mood. Shopkeeper Tai smiled back with fists in his arms, and greeted him familiarly, "Hehehe, shopkeeper Lu, good morning, Gong Xi Fa Cai."

   "Hahahaha, congratulations, congratulations." Shopkeeper Lu squeezed his eyes, and the small eyes of the smile could hardly be found.

  Hehehe, it's not Tongxi, and the shopkeeper Tai couldn't help laughing too.

  Recently, business has been so good that as long as there is food, the people in the county are rushing to buy it like crazy. There is no competition between the two at all, and the relationship is better than usual.

   "Hehe, Laotai, no way, your weight has also increased slowly."

   Shopkeeper Lu looked at Shopkeeper Tai and thought he was getting fatter, so he couldn't help but joked with a smile.

   "Hehe, Lao Lu, am I learning from you?"

   Shopkeeper Tai patted Shopkeeper Lu's Maitreya belly with his hand, and said with a smile.

"Hehe, if you want to talk about learning, I have to learn from you. I heard that you have taken in another concubine. How did your tigress agree? Tell me quickly, brother, I also learn from you..." Shopkeeper Lu's hook Sitting on Shopkeeper Tai's shoulder, squeezed his small eyes, and said wretchedly.

   "Hahaha, let me tell you, the secret is very simple, I guarantee you will use it for the rest of your life..."

  The two chatted shoulder to shoulder while walking slowly towards the grain store, even addressing them as Lao Lu and Lao Tai, and the two of them laughed from time to time along the way.

   "The two of them are like brothers, don't they fight very **** weekdays?"

The shopkeeper of the cloth shop on the street saw shopkeeper Tai and shopkeeper Lu walking over shoulder to shoulder, as if they were wearing a pair of trousers. He couldn't help opening his mouth in surprise and rubbing his eyes in disbelief, as if Seeing a sow climbing a tree and the sun rising in the west.

"Heh, if cloth is like grain, the supply will be in short supply no matter how high the price is, believe it or not, you and shopkeeper Liu can wear a pair of pants well." The shopkeeper of the grocery store next to him first spit at the backs of shopkeepers Tai and Lu , and then said to the shopkeeper of the cloth shop.

  The shopkeeper Liu he was talking about was another cloth shop on this street, not far away. The so-called peers are enemies, and the shopkeepers of the two cloth shops have been fighting openly and secretly, and they don't deal with each other.

"Bah, who wears a pair of pants with him!" The shopkeeper of the cloth shop couldn't help but spit at the thought of that scene, but he understood the meaning of the shopkeeper of the grocery shop, and looked at shopkeeper Tai and shopkeeper Lu with envy and hatred Looking at his back, he complained with mixed emotions, "The price of food in this dog day has risen too fast, and the two of them don't think the money is hot!"

   "Do you think silver is hot?" asked the shopkeeper of the grocery store.

  The shopkeeper of the cloth shop was silent, who would think that money is hot! You can also take silver from fire.

  Treasurer Tai and Shopkeeper Lu walked shoulder to shoulder and came to the street where the grain shop was located. As expected, they saw that the front of the two grain shops was crowded with people waiting to open the doors, and they couldn't help smiling at each other.

   "Hehe, I have to pick up money again. Please, shopkeeper Tai."

   "Please, Shopkeeper Lu."

  Treasurer Tai and Shopkeeper Lu clasped their fists together, and went to their respective grain stores with smiles on their faces.

   "The shopkeeper is here, the shopkeeper is here..."

   Seeing the two people coming, the eager people in front of the store shouted excitedly. The two of them were like two drops of water dripping into a boiling oil pan, boiling instantly.

   "Thai shopkeeper, it's me. Do you still remember that we had a drink together at the beginning, and today you have to give me two catties of rice. Yesterday I could only buy three catties, which is not enough for me."

"Uncle Tai, I am five catties. My mother said that you hugged me before, and my mother asked me to buy rice. Uncle Tai, you have to sell me more, or if you go back, my mother will definitely not let me in. "

   "Xiaotai, I'm your third master. You won't be doing any limited sales today, right? Let me tell you, even if you give it to someone, you can't give it to your third master."

  …

  The people waiting in front of the Fengtai Grain Shop flocked over emotionally like sharks asking about the fishy smell. While befriending the shopkeeper, they fought for the right to buy a few more catties of rice.

   If you just look at it from the outside, Shopkeeper Tai and the others are definitely the most popular group of people in Jingnan. The popularity of Thai shopkeepers, how should I put it, is like a traffic star who just got off the plane at a modern airport and is welcomed by fans.

  Of course, in fact, these people gathered around to say hello to shopkeeper Tai, everyone scolded him for being unkind in their hearts, the price of food has risen three times a day, and they don't even want a little face.

"I can't help with limited sales. The food in the store is limited. Everyone is from the village, and the family is short of food. If I sell it to you but not to him, isn't that going to make people feel bad? I, limited sales, Try to let everyone buy some rations. Today is the same, in the morning it only sells 600 catties, and each person can only buy 3 catties."

The shopkeeper Tai came to the door amidst the welcome of the crowd, took out the key under the fiery eyes of the crowd, and handed over the two jobs that had been waiting at the door, and let them open the shop door, while he held his fist and said to the crowd, The righteous words on the face are high-sounding.

  As for the actual reason, don’t say that everyone doesn’t believe it, even Shopkeeper Tai himself doesn’t believe it.
