Cross-country exchange
Chapter 037
"Mr. Feng, I still have an unfeeling request. I hope to use Feng Yang by your side."
Mr. Feng didn't care. He waved his hand and called people in. He said, "Feng Yang, I will let you take half a day off. You can follow Mr. Xia to do business."
Feng Yang glanced at Xia Yu secretly, and said, "Yes, young master."
As soon as the two came out of the handicraft workshop, their relationship became familiar immediately.In private, Feng Yang was quite willing to make Xia Yu his friend. Every time Xia Yu came from the village, he would bring him some food. The meat like last time tasted very delicious, with the salty taste in it. Although a little salty, it is very delicious.Thinking about it now, Feng Yang is salivating and drooling again.
"Let me tell you, how did you convince our young master to let me come out to play?" Feng Yang was originally a servant bought by the Feng family to serve Mr. Feng. Of course, this was all in the past, but now Mr. Feng has fun There was no one to take care of the handicraft workshop, so Feng Yang was directly transferred to the shop to guard the shop.
Xia Yu pursed his lips and said nothing, glanced at him lightly and said, "Play? Who said we played when we came out this trip, you should spare some strength to help me carry things, I have a lot of things to buy later."
When Xia Yu said this, Feng Yang immediately became unconvinced, tried his best to compare his wrists, and said with wide eyes, "Look at me, I carried five bags of rice by myself, I will show you later Look how powerful I am, Uncle Feng."
The two first went to someone's rice shop. Although Xia Yu didn't hear anything outside the window, he remembered the most important point his grandma said, that is, the rice in their village and the nearby villages were all rotten. up.He hasn't been to Bai Village yet, so he doesn't know the situation of his eldest brother. If Bai Village is like this, it is estimated that the food in this area may be in short supply in the next few months or even a year.
Xia Yu went to several rice shops, and there were several wooden barrels in the rice shop, which were arranged from left to right, and the prices were divided according to the quality of the rice. , and even fifteen essays.But Xia Yu looked at it, and found that the rice of fifteen Wen was the worst, not only leftover rice, but also insects in it, and his eyes changed.He made a comparison, stood outside the house and whispered a few times in Feng Yang's ear.
Feng Yang was a little uncertain, "Is this really possible?"
Xia Yu nodded, "You just listen to me, go, I'll wait for you here."
Feng Yang negotiated the price with the owner of Mihang for a while inside, but in the end they couldn't reach an agreement, so he dragged Xia Yu to another house.
"Hey, let me tell you, this guest officer, you want to buy our white rice for 25 renminbi, and you can't buy it anywhere." Feng Yang said.
Feng Yang ran to the second rice store and said directly, "Just now, the Li's rice store was only willing to sell it to me for 29 Wen. If you sell me for 25 Wen for marriage, I will definitely order in large quantities. By then I will also introduce some business for you, our young master has made a lot of friends."
The boss was a little embarrassed, "Young man, the 25 Wen is too low. Why don't you increase the price?"
Feng Yang immediately turned his face, "If I increase the price, why should I come to your side? Tell me, how much can you sell at the lowest price?"
The boss said weakly, "I will give up one penny at most."
Feng Yang left angrily again, and the boss behind him sighed helplessly, "Business is not easy these days."
Afterwards, Feng Yang visited the third and fourth houses, and dropped the price by one penny each time he came to a house.When I finally reached the fifth store, I looked up at Cao's Rice Shop.
Xia Yu frowned. It really was such a coincidence. Could this Cao family be the rice selling point that Cao Bingchen's family set up in the county?Didn't the Cao family have always been domineering in the village?Why did they still stand in the county town and sell rice when such a severe famine happened?Just to show off the wealth of the Cao family?
Xia Yu felt a little unbelievable, so he dragged Feng Yang aside and whispered, "Go and test the rice salesman in the Cao family for me, and see if he owns this rice shop? If not, you can help me too." I asked who opened it, where the boss was, and who was the last name."
Feng Yang looked puzzled, but he ran in and asked, and came out after a while, "I just asked, and the person inside is the manager of the Cao family, who has been in the Cao family for several years. He said that The owner of the rice store is from a family surnamed Cao in Hexi Village, and the owner is called Cao Jingtian. Moreover, this rice store is usually managed by his eldest son, but he didn't know what happened half a month ago, so the little boss rushed He went back and didn't come back, and he has been taking care of you all this time."
Xia Yu grasped several important points in Feng Yang's words, and dared to believe that Cao Bing handed over the store to the manager because of something happened at home.Half a month ago, just before the famine started.
"Hey, Xia Yu, isn't your family also in Hexi Village? It's actually from the same place as this boss." Feng Yang realizes that the name of the village is somewhat familiar. After thinking for a while, he realizes that it is Xia Yu's family. I also live in this place, so I joked, "Since we are from the same town, things will be easier to handle. You make it cheaper for them, and it will save us to go to other rice shops."
Xia Yubai took a look at Feng Yang, pulled him aside and said, "Feng Yang, I am at odds with the Cao family, and we have already made enemies in the village. If I go in to buy rice now, I am afraid that not only will it not be cheap, but it may also cause trouble. more trouble."
As soon as Feng Yang heard that it was okay, this is not a fellow countryman but an enemy, he immediately asked, "Then we don't buy it from their house, why don't you tell me, what's the matter, I haven't heard from you recently?"
Xia Yu looked at his sincere face, and said blankly, "You should know that I had a marriage before, but something happened in the middle and I quit, and only then did I have a second marriage."
Feng Yang naturally knew about it. Hearing Xia Yu's mention this time, he immediately thought, "Could it be that Cao Jingtian shamelessly snatched your brother who has never been married? It's simply too deceiving, no, I have to go for you Get back some ground."
Xia Yu had been completely defeated by Feng Yang's imagination, he hurriedly grabbed his arm, "Okay, what's the use of you going in and looking for someone to take care of things, he's just working for the boss."
Feng Yang stomped his feet angrily, feeling that Xia Yu was worthless, so he said, "Is this the way to go?"
Xia Yu just squatted on the side of the road thinking, and after a while he said, "Go in and ask if they would like to sell us that high-quality white rice for 25 Wen."
Feng Yang: "..."
At this time, shouldn't Xia Yu drag him back in a very grand manner, and swear by the way that he will never come to this Cao's rice shop to buy rice again?
"When is it, you still want me to ask them if they sell it? I said Xia Yu, you—" coward.Feng Yang withdrew the last two words from Xia Yu's cold eyes.
Xia Yu glanced at him inadvertently, and said, "Feng Yang, after you go in, say this—"
Feng Yang reluctantly set foot on the Cao's Rice Shop.Xia Yu, who was guarding outside, could still vaguely hear his roar, and not long after, Feng Yang came out and said weakly, "Okay, the young master ordered, I have to listen to you outside. You are so powerful, that person Guan Shi is willing to sell it to us at a low price of 25 Wen."
The price of the last bucket of rice was directly lowered by Xia Yu from 25 Wen to 25 Wen, and Xia Yu asked Feng Yang to add a sentence, "If you sell it to us for [-] Wen, all the rice you sell today will be sold to me." We can guarantee that you will sell them as quickly as possible.”
Who in this business doesn't want to be able to sell the stored grain quickly?
So Cao's steward directly agreed, and the transaction was made for 25 Wen.
Xia Yu only ordered three stones of rice from Cao's house, which is about 360 catties.Then let Feng Yang go to the other four rice shops to buy on average at the same price. Sure enough, as long as one of them makes a breakthrough, the other rice shops will naturally have no way to disagree.If you don't do this door-to-door business, isn't it for nothing?But they all hated the "Cao's Rice Shop" that Feng Yang said to death. What about the price that was set at the beginning?
Satisfied, Xia Yu sent all the rice to the handicraft workshop, and then took Feng Yang to buy other grains, some sweet potatoes, flour, peanuts, sesame and so on.
Anyway, by the time he returned to the handicraft workshop, Feng Yang was almost exhausted.During the entire purchase process, he had to bargain with the bosses and run away, which was very hard work. He finally understood the meaning of Xia Yu's previous words.
But the whole person is still very excited, especially the feeling that those bosses who didn't sell at first all sold at the price he proposed before made him feel very happy.If there is no such troublesome thing as Cao's rice line, today's trip is actually quite satisfactory.
A total of 150 Dou of rice cost less than four taels of silver, which saved most of the taels of silver. In addition to buying other things, it cost about ten taels of silver.
After Xia Yu put all his things into the storage room, he went back to the village.Although it was sunny for a day or two, it didn't look too good.It is gloomy, and the rain may fall again at any time.
Mr. Feng saw that they came back with a lot of harvest, and after listening to Feng Yang's words, he felt that Xia Yu was a malleable talent. He touched his chin, thinking that he just had a job recently, and wondered if Xia Yu was interested.
Feng Yang immediately added fuel to the side, "Young Master, Mr. Xia also reminded us that it is best to prepare some food for emergencies like him. Seeing how much food Mr. Xia has prepared, it seems that the famine is quite serious."
Mr. Feng immediately knocked on his head, "In that case, why didn't you ask them to send two more copies to Fuchu just now? Wouldn't this save a lot of trouble?"
Feng Yang immediately made a bitter face, "How can I be the master without the young master's consent?"
"Stop talking nonsense, go right away."
Feng Yang completely ran through the words of the two sons this time, and Xia Yu asked him to spread some "good things" after buying food.So Feng Yang spent 20 taels of silver to buy two batches of supplies and sent them all back to Feng's residence.
For the rest of the time, he walked on the street and murmured to everyone he met, "It's a big discount, go to Cao's Rice Store, it's a big discount, you will regret it if you don't buy it."
Just murmuring all the way over here, it turned out that no one on the street agreed.Feng Yang immediately became angry. He felt that Xia Yu's words didn't seem to work, so he exaggerated, "Recently, the crops in the fields have been drenched to death by the rain. In the future, you may not even be able to eat rice. Now Cao's rice line is greatly reduced. Price, you guys don’t know how to seize the opportunity, it’s just stupid.”
After cursing, he immediately shouted again, "The price is greatly reduced, the price of Cao's rice is greatly reduced."
Sure enough, after hearing this information, many people stopped and discussed with each other.Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.So everyone went to Cao's rice shop to find out what happened.
The bosses of other rice shops are in a hurry, how can this Cao's rice shop openly lower the price?What's the matter, they have to deal with Cao's rice forever.
Feng Yang's temperament is relatively straightforward, and his brain can't turn around.It's always been the young master's instruction, and his actions, to put it bluntly, are like candles, neither lit nor lit.Seeing the crowd rushing to buy rice at Cao's gate now, I realized Xia Yu's idea was so good that I let the villagers snap up all the food before the Cao family could react.If there is a real famine at that time, how will the Cao family deal with it?
Feng Yang took a satisfied look at the crowded Cao's Rice Shop, so he took the opportunity and slipped away.
Cao's steward sold out all of Cao's rice today, and was happily counting the silver at the rice shop.
When the crops in Hexi villages were flooded, the heavy rain kept falling, which not only washed away the mud on the ridges of the fields, but also cut off the road to the fields, and even the dirt road to the county town was difficult to walk.Just now, a land mound collapsed, and the cart could not pass, and it was quite dangerous to drive in this rainy day.
When Cao Jingtian heard that Xia Chengyou was in a hurry to go to the field to suffer, he subconsciously rejoiced that things might not be so bad. As a result, all the crops in the field died, especially the Cao family had a lot of fields. The losses were even greater.However, the Cao family is not like other families in the village who moan and sigh all day long. After all, the family still has a place to guarantee the bottom line, that is, the rice store in the county town, which has stored grain for several years.Even if the rice in the fields is gone, those bottom goods can at least survive next year.
But there are worse things in the family, that is, the second boy who is not worried about his family. I don't know what happened to the husband and wife. Li Mo had a miscarriage and the child could not be kept. Now the two of them Bickering at home every day.The newly married brother-in-law is so fierce, Cao Ama felt that this brother-in-law was not good, the battle between the two turned into three people, Cao Jingtian was quarreled by them, one head and two big, how could other people in the family see this scene? Dare to intervene, Cao Jingcai had no choice but to recall the most sensible son, Cao Buing, from the county seat.
"Father, we should go to the county town to take a look, and we must bring some food back." Cao Bubing always felt that the recent flustered boredom might be due to the weather.But in this county town, there is only one manager looking after the shop, so he is still a little uneasy.
"Boss, you are good at everything, but you are not stable enough. Knowing that it is a good thing to plan for a rainy day, but it depends on the situation. Our Cao family has a rich economy, and we have rice. Are you afraid that you will be hungry?" Cao Jingtian educated.
Unexpectedly, when the weather cleared up a few days later, when he went to the county town and saw that Cao's warehouse was sold out, he almost failed.The words I said before were like a loud slap, slapping him with blood all over his face.
After he asked the ins and outs of the matter clearly, his eyes went dark and he fainted.
The words that Feng Yang spread that day swept across the entire county like a gust of wind, and the rice rows were wiped out. Now everyone is anxious, speculating that the famine will not know when it will come to them.
Feng Yang naturally didn't know the consequences of adding an extra sentence that day. He recently stayed in Feng's residence and lived a comfortable life.If Young Master Feng didn't call him, he was very free.
Because of the recent bad weather, there is not much business.Mr. Feng simply locked the shop first, and prepared to talk after the hazy weather.
Xia Yu returned home with nearly 20 taels of silver, and he exchanged the remaining 50 taels for silver notes in the county town.Carrying the burden, Xia Yu wanted to explain the matter of the silver tael clearly, but after thinking about it, the time did not come.Or first bury the burden in the pit under the bed.
Looking at the weather again, Xia Yu was a little worried about the white monkey on the mountain. Since he got married, he had rarely gone up the mountain, and every time he went there, he could hardly see the shadow of the monkey, and he didn't know how it was doing.
Taking advantage of the bad weather, Xia Yu went up the mountain early. The mountain road was rough, and after several days of rain, the road became more difficult.This is convenient for Xia Yu on the contrary. He is afraid that other villagers will go up the mountain, and it will be troublesome if they find the white monkey.
I haven't seen him for a few months, and the weeds outside the cave are soaring, almost reaching the height of his waist.Xia Yu pushed aside the grass and walked into the cave that was completely covered by the grass. There was a strange smell in the cave and there was no vent. Xia Yu almost fainted as soon as he stepped in.The mess was even better than he had imagined, except that there were some more fruit shells on the ground.There are one part of the fruit shell in the east and one part in the west. Some are dark in color, some are black, covered with bugs, and some are bright red, obviously not long after eating.
Xia Yu didn't need to guess to know whose masterpiece it was. Obviously, during the few months when he didn't come to the cave, the white monkey came to patronize him from time to time, and he seemed to be living a pretty good life.
Seeing that there were no white monkeys around, Xia Yu simply dug out the last jar of bacon that had been hidden before. The last time he was afraid that the monkey would take it again, Xia Yu simply buried the jar in the ground.No, after he dug it out, he took a look and found that there was not a single piece missing.
Now, when he sells these things, he can explain to Luo Liang.
However, before that, Xia Yu erected the tree trunk and lit a fire.
Divide the meat strips into strips, insert the meat strips with the previously cut branches, and roast them under the fire.Considering that the cave is not ventilated and the barbecue time is long, he may be smoked. Xia Yu decided to finish roasting the meat. If he didn't see the white monkey, he went down the mountain.
There was a chi-chi-chi sound in the cave, and after a while, a smell of meat slowly drifted out from the entrance of the cave, making people salivate involuntarily.
Mr. Feng didn't care. He waved his hand and called people in. He said, "Feng Yang, I will let you take half a day off. You can follow Mr. Xia to do business."
Feng Yang glanced at Xia Yu secretly, and said, "Yes, young master."
As soon as the two came out of the handicraft workshop, their relationship became familiar immediately.In private, Feng Yang was quite willing to make Xia Yu his friend. Every time Xia Yu came from the village, he would bring him some food. The meat like last time tasted very delicious, with the salty taste in it. Although a little salty, it is very delicious.Thinking about it now, Feng Yang is salivating and drooling again.
"Let me tell you, how did you convince our young master to let me come out to play?" Feng Yang was originally a servant bought by the Feng family to serve Mr. Feng. Of course, this was all in the past, but now Mr. Feng has fun There was no one to take care of the handicraft workshop, so Feng Yang was directly transferred to the shop to guard the shop.
Xia Yu pursed his lips and said nothing, glanced at him lightly and said, "Play? Who said we played when we came out this trip, you should spare some strength to help me carry things, I have a lot of things to buy later."
When Xia Yu said this, Feng Yang immediately became unconvinced, tried his best to compare his wrists, and said with wide eyes, "Look at me, I carried five bags of rice by myself, I will show you later Look how powerful I am, Uncle Feng."
The two first went to someone's rice shop. Although Xia Yu didn't hear anything outside the window, he remembered the most important point his grandma said, that is, the rice in their village and the nearby villages were all rotten. up.He hasn't been to Bai Village yet, so he doesn't know the situation of his eldest brother. If Bai Village is like this, it is estimated that the food in this area may be in short supply in the next few months or even a year.
Xia Yu went to several rice shops, and there were several wooden barrels in the rice shop, which were arranged from left to right, and the prices were divided according to the quality of the rice. , and even fifteen essays.But Xia Yu looked at it, and found that the rice of fifteen Wen was the worst, not only leftover rice, but also insects in it, and his eyes changed.He made a comparison, stood outside the house and whispered a few times in Feng Yang's ear.
Feng Yang was a little uncertain, "Is this really possible?"
Xia Yu nodded, "You just listen to me, go, I'll wait for you here."
Feng Yang negotiated the price with the owner of Mihang for a while inside, but in the end they couldn't reach an agreement, so he dragged Xia Yu to another house.
"Hey, let me tell you, this guest officer, you want to buy our white rice for 25 renminbi, and you can't buy it anywhere." Feng Yang said.

"Stop talking nonsense, go right away."
Feng Yang completely ran through the words of the two sons this time, and Xia Yu asked him to spread some "good things" after buying food.So Feng Yang spent 20 taels of silver to buy two batches of supplies and sent them all back to Feng's residence.

"Boss, you are good at everything, but you are not stable enough. Knowing that it is a good thing to plan for a rainy day, but it depends on the situation. Our Cao family has a rich economy, and we have rice. Are you afraid that you will be hungry?" Cao Jingtian educated.
Unexpectedly, when the weather cleared up a few days later, when he went to the county town and saw that Cao's warehouse was sold out, he almost failed.The words I said before were like a loud slap, slapping him with blood all over his face.
After he asked the ins and outs of the matter clearly, his eyes went dark and he fainted.
The words that Feng Yang spread that day swept across the entire county like a gust of wind, and the rice rows were wiped out. Now everyone is anxious, speculating that the famine will not know when it will come to them.
Feng Yang naturally didn't know the consequences of adding an extra sentence that day. He recently stayed in Feng's residence and lived a comfortable life.If Young Master Feng didn't call him, he was very free.
Because of the recent bad weather, there is not much business.Mr. Feng simply locked the shop first, and prepared to talk after the hazy weather.
Xia Yu returned home with nearly 20 taels of silver, and he exchanged the remaining 50 taels for silver notes in the county town.Carrying the burden, Xia Yu wanted to explain the matter of the silver tael clearly, but after thinking about it, the time did not come.Or first bury the burden in the pit under the bed.
Looking at the weather again, Xia Yu was a little worried about the white monkey on the mountain. Since he got married, he had rarely gone up the mountain, and every time he went there, he could hardly see the shadow of the monkey, and he didn't know how it was doing.
Taking advantage of the bad weather, Xia Yu went up the mountain early. The mountain road was rough, and after several days of rain, the road became more difficult.This is convenient for Xia Yu on the contrary. He is afraid that other villagers will go up the mountain, and it will be troublesome if they find the white monkey.
I haven't seen him for a few months, and the weeds outside the cave are soaring, almost reaching the height of his waist.Xia Yu pushed aside the grass and walked into the cave that was completely covered by the grass. There was a strange smell in the cave and there was no vent. Xia Yu almost fainted as soon as he stepped in.The mess was even better than he had imagined, except that there were some more fruit shells on the ground.There are one part of the fruit shell in the east and one part in the west. Some are dark in color, some are black, covered with bugs, and some are bright red, obviously not long after eating.
Xia Yu didn't need to guess to know whose masterpiece it was. Obviously, during the few months when he didn't come to the cave, the white monkey came to patronize him from time to time, and he seemed to be living a pretty good life.
Seeing that there were no white monkeys around, Xia Yu simply dug out the last jar of bacon that had been hidden before. The last time he was afraid that the monkey would take it again, Xia Yu simply buried the jar in the ground.No, after he dug it out, he took a look and found that there was not a single piece missing.
Now, when he sells these things, he can explain to Luo Liang.
However, before that, Xia Yu erected the tree trunk and lit a fire.
Divide the meat strips into strips, insert the meat strips with the previously cut branches, and roast them under the fire.Considering that the cave is not ventilated and the barbecue time is long, he may be smoked. Xia Yu decided to finish roasting the meat. If he didn't see the white monkey, he went down the mountain.
There was a chi-chi-chi sound in the cave, and after a while, a smell of meat slowly drifted out from the entrance of the cave, making people salivate involuntarily.
