The Red Chamber Collection

Following Xiaoer's guidance, Daiyu arrived at the plaque of Menglong Food Store.Xiaoer saw that Daiyu was well dressed, so she followed a group of girls.He hurriedly came out of the room to greet her, "Hey, please come inside, Miss! I wonder what Miss would like?"

"I want to buy some rice!" Daiyu said.

"I don't know how much the lady wants?"

"30 catties!" Daiyu looked at the store, it was really big.

"Three, three, 30 catties?" Seeing Daiyu say this, Xiao Er didn't dare to tease her, and repeated, "Miss, you want 30 catties? Am I right?"

"Is there?" Daiyu asked back.

"Yes! Let alone 30 catties, even 300 million catties are available!" the waiter hurriedly said.

"what price?"

The clerk muttered for a long time, and said to Daiyu: "Miss, I can't decide on such a large quantity. The price will definitely be cheaper than retail. Let me invite the shopkeeper, how about it?"

"go quickly!"

The waiter hurriedly poured tea and asked Daiyu to sit down.Leave it to a buddy and go out by yourself.

Not a moment later, I saw the guy come back with an "Amitabha Buddha".As soon as he entered the door, he was all smiles.He bowed to Daiyu and said, "Excuse me, does the lady want 30 catties of rice?"

"Yes!" Daiyu said, "Are you the shopkeeper?"

"Yes! Next Zhang Menglong, dare to ask Miss, why do you need so much rice?"

"Oh, there are a lot of people in the mansion. There was also a flood and there were a lot of victims. That's why we need so much rice!"

"Dare to ask the mansion?"

"I have to ask about that too!" Daiyu said with a smile, "Let's talk about the price!"

"Forgive me for taking the liberty, I'm sorry!" Zhang Menglong hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss wants so much all at once, I must be cheaper. How about a [-]% discount for Miss?"

Daiyu got up and looked around.Said: "Such a high price, even [-]% off, is also higher than the market price!"

"Market?" Zhang Menglong said with a smile, "There are eight rice shops in Suzhou, three of which belong to me, and the other five. The lady went to inquire to see how much stock they still have. The sum of them is still less than 30. Jin! What’s more, the young lady wants so much at once. It depends on where the young lady transports it. If the grain is transferred outside, the government will not allow it! In such a catastrophe, the grain is only allowed in and not out!”

"So, shopkeeper Zhang is an exclusive business! I heard that shopkeeper Zhang is the leader in grain in Suzhou, and you have the final say on the usual price!"

"It's just a rumor!" Zhang Menglong laughed.

"Can you drop again?"

"No more down!"

"Then you just watched so many hungry people go hungry?"

"What does this have to do with me? It's not that I don't sell to them, they just come and buy it. Besides, I'm not doing charity! Miss, please forgive me!" Zhang Menglong laughed.

"How can people afford such a high price?"

"Then you say that. Wouldn't it be possible for me to sell this grain? Isn't my business doing well? I am willing to buy and sell, and the money and goods are both clear. The lady said this. It doesn't seem like I'm here to buy rice, but like It’s as if you’re here to argue with me!” Zhang Menglong said with a smile.

Zhang Menglong's stomach was full, and he was never in a hurry.Daiyu thought, what an old fox who has been in the mall for a long time!Daiyu felt ashamed that she was not as strong as him!

"I heard that the government does not allow price gouging when disaster strikes!"

"I sell my things myself. What's the matter with the government? I didn't steal it. I didn't force people to buy my high-priced rice. I do business in an open and honest manner. What am I afraid of?"

This word.It made Daiyu very uncomfortable.Now that it has been lifted up by everyone, it has nothing to do with wanting to shrink back.It's too late.Therefore, he said: "The price is low, I wonder if shopkeeper Zhang can sell me some face?"

"May I ask Miss, where is the sacred place, and what is your name?"

"Hehehe!" Daiyu stood up, and said with a smile, "They are all from the same township, surnamed Lin and named Daiyu!"

"Ah?!" Zhang Menglong exclaimed in surprise, "Are you Miss Lin's family?"

"Exactly!"

"It's a well-deserved reputation, well-deserved reputation!" Shopkeeper Zhang came up to salute: "Ms. Zhang is really blind and impolite, I hope the lady will forgive me a lot! Miss, it's noisy here, please come to the back hall!"

"Shopkeeper Zhang please!"

Daiyu asked two guards to wait in front.He brought Xiaocui and Lin Yushi to the back hall.

After negotiating for a long time, the shopkeeper is willing to sell it at 50.00% off.Daiyu made some calculations in her heart.Even so, it is [-]% higher than the market price.The market price is already high.

Daiyu's request was even lower, Zhang Menglong said: "Miss, I have already given you quite a face!"

While the two were talking, the prefect of Suzhou hurried in and saluted Daiyu: "I don't know Gege is here, but I'm far away to welcome you, and I hope you will forgive me."

Daiyu saw his strange face, and saw the pattern of clouds and geese on his official uniform, so she knew that he was a first-level official of the magistrate.He said: "Dare to ask your lord's name, why haven't you seen it before?"

"The next official, Wu Wencai, is now the magistrate of Suzhou. He has just been transferred in less than a month. Otherwise, he can catch up with Ge Ge's garden ceremony!"

"It seems that adults know a lot!"

"When I was in the future, I had inquired about Gege, who is famous all over the world in Suzhou! No, if it wasn't for the disaster relief, I would have visited the mansion long ago!"

"Hehe!" Daiyu laughed and said, "Non-official girl, how dare you bother my lord! Your lord is busy with disaster relief, and it happens that I also encounter difficulties because of disaster relief. Please tell me something good, let Zhang The shopkeeper lowers the price of rice!"

"Oh?" Wu Wencai looked at Zhang Menglong and said, "Master Zhang, what's your price for buying rice?"

"I've already given Gege a [-]% discount! In my store, it's never been so low!" Zhang Menglong began to mutter when he saw that the magistrate was called.

"What does Gege mean?" Wu Wencai looked at Daiyu and asked.

"I can accept a [-]% discount, and that's all for the shopkeeper Zhang to make a lot of money!" Daiyu laughed.

Wu Wencai lowered his head and scratched with his hands.do not know what to do.Daiyu said: "Master Wu, why don't you discuss it with shopkeeper Zhang? The price of shopkeeper Zhang is too high. If Sister Yanzi knew that the grain shop could earn so much money, she would probably be in Suzhou City next year, bringing Gege with her." Let's make a fuss!"

Daiyu's words made Wu Wencai's heart tremble.He hurriedly said: "Gege please be safe, wait for me to discuss with the shopkeeper Zhang, okay?"

"Then I will thank you, my lord!" Daiyu laughed.

Wu Wencai took Zhang Menglong aside and whispered: "How much does she want? You can just give her a fair price. How dare you ask her such a high price?"

"Uncle, how much can she ask for if she eats by herself?! I can afford it! She wants 30 catties!"

"Ah?! Why does she need so much food?"

"Uncle, I'm not talking about you, what do you do every day? Could it be that the whole Suzhou people know about such a big event in the Lin family, and you are still in the dark? Are you doing disaster relief? If the above I know, if you don't take off your official robe, then my money will be for nothing?!"

"Oh. So that's how it is!" Wu Wencai said, "Here. You give her this price!"

"Why?"

"Why didn't you hear that? Do you know who that swallow is? Let me tell you, it's the Demon King of Confusion. If you mess with her, I guarantee that she will crush your grain store."

"I have so much money. Am I still afraid of her? Can she crush me? I really don't believe it!"

"Do you think that you, the richest man in Suzhou, dare to compare with that swallow? You really can't control yourself. I won't tell you, you can just do it yourself! You spent money on me as an official, you have the final say. I can't control it anymore!"

"No one asked you to take care of it. Look at you as an official, you are really useless!"

Two come here.Wu Wencai said: "Gege, I've tried my best! I can't help it!"

Daiyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's already noon now. Let's eat first. I've agreed on this meal and I'll invite you. Don't argue with me!"

"How can there be such a reason? Gege is here, I will do my best as a landlord!" Wu Wencai hurriedly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I hope Gege will give this officer this opportunity!"

"Business can't be benevolent!" Zhang Menglong said with a smile: "Miss Lin, no matter what. I have ordered this meal!"

A group of people chatted and laughed, and came to Wang Fulou Restaurant.The waiter in the restaurant saw these people.He rushed up early and called the restaurant manager to come down.Before the people arrived, the laughter came first: "Hahaha, today is really a distinguished guest, I didn't expect Mr. Wu and shopkeeper Zhang to be so free today?!"

Zhang Shengxian was about to salute Wu Wencai, when he took a closer look and saw that it was Daiyu, he was shocked and said, "I don't know if it's Miss Lin who came here, I'm sorry to welcome you from far away, I'm guilty!"

"Where is it, Boss Zhang has made a fortune!"

"Thanks to Ms. Lin, the guests know that the food is delivered by Ms. Lin's house, and the business is better than before! I don't know why the Ms. doesn't deliver food these days, but only chickens, ducks and geese?!"

"That's right. There are a lot of refugees coming to the mansion, and the food is not enough. Sometimes we make some vegetable porridge. So the food can't be served in time! I hope shopkeeper Zhang will forgive me!"

"It turns out that Miss Lin cares about the common people, which makes Zhang admire! What do you want to eat today? Order here, Miss Lin!"

"There are only a few of them, let's take a look at the shopkeeper!"

"Hey, upstairs please, everyone!" Zhang Shengxian led Daiyu and his party upstairs.

Daiyu went up with her party, and after a while Zhang Shengxian came over to pour tea in person.

Because it was Daiyu, the food came out quickly.Zhang Shengxian accompanied him.Daiyu laughed and said, "Come on, don't argue with me today, I'll pay the bill!"

All three contended, Zhang Shengxian said: "Miss, you are slapping me in the face! Do you still pay for eating at my place?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "Today is special! I wouldn't bother arguing with you if it was normal! I have something to do, so I'll tell you first, shopkeeper!"

"What's the matter, Miss, tell me!" Zhang Shengxian hurriedly said.

"Next year, my Lin family will provide all the food and rice for your restaurant!"

"This is no problem! I heard that Miss is buying land?"

"Yes, next year I plan to have [-] mu of land. In my hand, the covered garden is empty! How about buying more land!"

"Miss, did you spend a lot of money on this garden?" Zhang Menglong smiled and said, "Is it tens of thousands of taels?!"

"It's nearly 30 taels!" Daiyu said to Zhang Shengxian again: "Shopkeeper, you have a way. Help me find a place in the city and choose a place. I want to build a house!"

"I don't know how much land the lady wants? The land price in this city is very expensive!"

"I want thirty acres of land!"

"Thirty acres?!" Everyone opened their mouths, oh my god, how many homes does Miss have?

Zhang Menglong, who was still good at himself, retracted his head a long time ago.

"Okay, miss, I will definitely help you to see it. If you want it, miss, that's no problem. What's the money?"

"Current money!" Daiyu laughed and said, "There are many people carrying it now. If I don't expand my business, I will fail everyone's expectations!"

"You want so many acres of land, why use it?"

"One part is for the granary, and the other part is for the storefront!"

"Are you planning?" Zhang Shengxian asked with a smile.

"From next year. I want to do grain business! I want to harvest grain and store it!"

"Miss, your business is really going to be big this time! Miss, I have a heartfelt request. I wonder if Miss will accept it?"

"Shopkeeper, what's the matter, just tell me! Are you being polite to me?"

"I want to become a shareholder of the Lin Mansion? I don't know what the lady wants?"

"How much do you plan to invest?" Daiyu laughed.

"Well, what do you think Miss?" Zhang Shengxian stretched out a finger.

"1000 taels?" Zhang Menglong sneered.Seeing Zhang Shengxian shook his head, he said again: "1 taels?"

Zhang Shengxian saw Zhang Menglong say this.Said: "I said Brother Zhang. I know you are a rich man. But you say that, how can you embarrass me? Didn't I make fun of Miss? Miss will take a fancy to this mere ten thousand taels of silver?"

"What does Brother Zhang mean?" Zhang Menglong asked in surprise.

"10 taels!" Zhang Shengxian laughed.Zhang Menglong was stunned.I thought I was rich, but Zhang Shengxian took out 10 taels all at once.Immediately became frightened.What richest man?nonsense!In my own hands, I can only have a hundred thousand taels.If someone asks for [-] yuan, there will definitely be more in his hand!

"Miss, what do you think?"

"How much does shopkeeper Zhang plan to share?" Daiyu leaned forward and asked.

"Thirty to seventy percent. Miss, you seven and I three!" Zhang Shengxian said: "If the lady thinks it's too high, twenty to eighty percent is fine!"

"I don't bully you either!" Daiyu said, "Let's divide it into [-]-[-]%! Your investment is used for grain storage and grain business. It is mainly used to allocate disaster-stricken areas. Wherever there is a disaster, we will use it wherever there is a disaster. It is more expensive than usual business. Plus [-]%, what do you think of my thinking?"

"Miss, following you, I'm so rich!" Zhang Shengxian said happily: "If I had known that Miss would agree, I would open a restaurant. Just follow Miss and make money!"

"Miss, can you see me?" Zhang Menglong said with a smile.

"The two of us won't talk about it today. Let's talk about grain prices!" Daiyu picked out a dish.

"It's easy to discuss!" Zhang Menglong smiled and held up his wine glass: "I respect Miss!"

"Brother Zhang, do you still bargain with Miss? I really don't mean you, a businessman like Miss, you really have no conscience if you bargain again. Take my shop as an example, do I still care about the small money? Miss insists The price of the vegetables and livestock sent should be lower than the market! It can be seen that the lady is a real businessman, and the lady is not relying on her background to suppress people!"

"Miss, as you said, [-]% off. But I have a request!" Zhang Menglong laughed.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, please tell me!"

"When I saw the words written by the young lady for Mr. Yang's house, I thought about it every night, every day, thinking that one day I would have the opportunity to be rewarded by the young lady, and I would have no regrets in this life! I don't know if the young lady will appreciate the face!" Zhang Menglong stood Get up and hand over to Daiyu, he is very serious, no longer laughing!

"Master Yang is responsible for the design of the Lin Mansion and the construction of the Lin Mansion, so the lady is willing to give the calligraphy!"

"Zhang doesn't dare to say Runbi, how about Zhang supporting Miss with [-] catties of rice to help the victims?"

"If the rice is not enough, I will come back with the price of rice?"

"Still [-]% off!"

Daiyu laughed and said, "That's it, why not?"

While talking, Daiyu left the table.He said to Zhang Shengxian: "Shopkeeper, I will lend you your pen and ink!"

"Let's eat first!" Wu Wencai said.

"No, let's settle this first!"

So everyone hurriedly surrounded Daiyu to the study, and Zhang Menglong studied ink.Daiyu picked up the pen and swiped the word "Zhang Fu" in running script.

Zhang Shengxian bowed to Daiyu and said: "Miss, if you dare to ask for your kindness, I will also give you these two words. I am willing to follow Brother Zhang and donate [-] catties of rice to the Lin family!"

Daiyu laughed and said, "Then I will thank you two for the disaster victims!"

After speaking, he wrote the word "Zhang Fu" in italics and sent it to Zhang Shengxian.

"Miss, what about the shareholding?" Zhang Menglong thought, and had to follow suit.This Lin Mansion must not drop the buttons.Otherwise, once you get up at the Lin Mansion Food Station, you will have nothing to eat!

"Shopkeeper Zhang is so clear about righteousness, if I don't allow it, wouldn't it make Zhang shopkeeper feel cold!"

"I would also like to give 10 taels!" Zhang Menglong bowed to Daiyu with a smile on his face. L
