I can't die

Lanzhou is an important town on the ancient Silk Road.As early as 5000 years ago, human beings thrived here.The county government was established in the Western Han Dynasty, and it was called Jincheng, which means "Jincheng Tangchi".At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, it was changed to Lanzhou General Manager's Mansion, and it was first called Lanzhou.From the Han Dynasty to the Tang and Song Dynasties, with the opening of the Silk Road, there was a grand occasion of silk going west and Tianma coming east. Lanzhou gradually became an important traffic artery and a major commercial port on the Silk Road.

It's just that today's Lanzhou City can't see the bustling scene in the past. The wide streets are extremely depressed, and almost all the businesses are closed. Only occasionally a few rice shops have to open their doors to provide food for the people in the city. The most basic daily necessities.

"Boss, the food in this store won't last long." In the Fusheng grain store, the cashier used his abacus to dial the abacus before closing the store. He thought about the surplus food in the store and showed worry.

Fusheng Grain Store is the largest grain store in Lanzhou City under Huishang. It has the most grain in Lanzhou City. If even Fusheng Grain Store is out of food, it means that the whole Lanzhou City is almost out of food. .Shopkeeper Fu Sheng looked at the beads on Mr. Accountant's abacus, and felt pitiful in his heart.

"Yeah, the guy who went out to pay food a few days ago calculated that he should have come back long ago, but there was an accident elsewhere." Fusheng Food Co., Ltd. has deep connections with several major landlords in the Shaanxi-Gansu area, and has its own commonly used shopping carts. goods channel.It's just that the Hui people and the Han people are so popular outside the city of Lanzhou that they are afraid of accidents. .

"If you want to say that the shopkeeper has a good heart, there is no price increase at this time."

Mr. Accountant told the truth, in today’s troubled times, there is no skyrocketing prices in Lanzhou City, and it is all relying on the Fusheng Grain Store to keep prices down. After all, the largest grain store does not raise prices, and other small grain stores dare not raise prices, so the people in Lanzhou City are also afraid There is still a bite to eat.

"It's all about doing things with conscience." The shopkeeper sighed. Huizhou merchants have made their fortunes since the Tang and Song Dynasties, and now they have a history of hundreds of years. They have been prosperous for a long time, and their reputation has always been their purpose and guarantee.

"Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper, has the food for Mr. Chen arrived?!" At this moment, a young waiter shouted from outside the store.When the anecdote and the accountant heard about the deal, they immediately showed joy and ran out.Similarly, when many roadside shops heard about this business, they also secretly opened their doors and looked at the road. As expected, one car after another was parked at the entrance of the food store.

The shopkeeper walked up to the cart, opened the sack on the cart, took out the grain inside with his hands, put it on his nose, and smelled it: "It's this year's new rice, it's so timely! Thanks to you."

Hearing this, the young man smiled honestly and patted his head: "I would like to thank this Mr. Liu. We met more than a dozen Hui people on the way back. If it wasn't for him, we might not be able to come back."

The shopkeeper listened to the young man's words and looked in the direction he was pointing. As expected, he saw a handsome young man standing not far away.But seeing this person with phoenix eyes and star pupils, his face is like powder, his lips are like peach blossoms, and he is dressed in a light gauze brocade dress like a concubine in a play, with a kind of feminine beauty.

"It looks like a girl's house, but she is a master of martial arts, really extraordinary." The shopkeeper sized up Mr. Liu, curious in his heart, and seeing the long sword on his waist, he didn't dare to underestimate him.The old shopkeeper has been traveling all over the world for many years, and has extraordinary knowledge. He knows that no one should be underestimated, so he hurried up and said politely: "I have met Mr. Liu, thank you for your help, otherwise this batch of food may fall into the hands of the bad guys. Mr. Liu went into the room to rest, so that I can wait for the good student to thank you."

"It's okay, it's easy to do. My surname is Liu and my name is Xiang. I came to Lanzhou City this time to meet the shopkeeper."

After speaking, Liu Xiang cupped his hands and followed the shopkeeper into the shop.As I said before, Fusheng Food Store is the largest food store in Lanzhou City, so it occupies a very large area. In addition to storefronts and warehouses, it also has a special residence for receiving VIPs.Liu Xiang walked into the depths of the grain store, walked through the corridor, and saw a courtyard with a lot of rockery, a gurgling stream, and green pines and cypresses, which felt like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

A group of people came to a side room and sat down. The shopkeeper called the waiter to bring up high-quality tea and entertained Liu Xiang: "My surname is Qin. Brother Liu, if you can see it, just call me the shopkeeper Qin."

"Shopkeeper Qin, you're being polite." Liu Xiang smiled, his face was like a spring flower, and his face was even more stunning, with a kind of indistinguishable beauty.

"Brother Liu is good at martial arts, why don't you call?" Shopkeeper Qin scrutinized Liu Xiang's intentions intentionally or unintentionally.To be honest, shopkeeper Qin was also curious, this Liu Xiang was not an ordinary person at first glance, if saving the grain ship was a coincidence, then that's fine, otherwise. .So thought-provoking.

"Come to Zhejiang, speaking of it, you are also traveling with the anecdote."

Peer?Shopkeeper Qin felt overwhelmed when he heard the words, could it be that Liu Xiang is also a businessman at home?In the past few years, due to the war, Huizhou merchants have lived a very normal life, but many new rich people have emerged in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Among them, there is a family called Liu, who specializes in timber business. Not long ago, he was enshrined by the court The name of the imperial merchant is very extraordinary.

"But the son of the Liu family in Tonglu?"

Liu Xiang nodded: "I know that the shopkeeper is well-informed, and this junior admires him."

At this point, Shopkeeper Qin shook his spirits, and looked at Liu Xiang with a different expression: "I am still very familiar with the boundaries of Lanzhou. Mr. Liu is kind to me. If you can help, you can ask."

"I just want to bother the shopkeeper Qin. I'm not polite. My servant of the Liu family was going to collect grain here. After waiting for half a month, I couldn't hear the news for a long time. I guess something went wrong. Let’s take a look. Does Shopkeeper Qin know?”

What Liu Xiang said was very sincere, he was originally a beautiful person, so asking such a question was even more difficult to refuse.

Hearing the words, shopkeeper Qin looked at Liu Xiang and sighed: "Hey, what else? You saw it before, and it wasn't caused by the Hui rebellion. These rebels kill people and set fires, not to mention robbing things, it's the most normal but."

"Impossible. My shop has always harvested grain regardless of ethnicity. The Hui people also harvest grain. No matter how vicious the rebels are, they shouldn't cut off the wealth of their compatriots."

When Liu Xiang said this, he couldn't help but look deeply at Shopkeeper Qin, as if he wanted to see something with his eyes.

Hearing this, shopkeeper Qin's heart moved, and he also smiled and said: "The water in Lanzhou is so deep, Mr. Liu can have such skills, but he can't hold back the local snake."

"It doesn't matter, the shopkeeper Shan said, Liu knows well that he won't be implicated in your bank."
