Tang's dining table

Upon hearing the news, Yun Chu gave up his plan to get fierce fire oil and turned around to find Cui.

Fortunately, Liu Yi is still waiting for Cui to give him money.

Ms. Cui is very agile in everything else she does. When playing cotton, she wants to tire herself to death just to complete the customer's order. Even when giving money to others, she always makes a mess.

When Yunchu came in, he happened to hear Ms. Cui asking Liu Yi what he was going to do with such a large sum of money.

"Take it all and buy rice." When Yun Chu opened the door curtain and came in, he gave Liu Yi a good answer.

When Cui asked about the whereabouts of the five-guan money, she wanted to ask Liu Yi if he had the idea of ​​spending five-guan money to buy his own quilt. Obviously, a person like Liu Yi would not spend such a big sum of money even if he froze to death. Spending money to buy a quilt is in great conflict with his existing outlook on life.

"I have rice at home." Liu Yi replied with a smile.

"The price of rice has risen to four yuan a dou."

"I didn't buy it when it was two dollars a dou. Wouldn't it be a loss to buy it now?"

Regarding Liu Yi's question, Yun Chu was too lazy to answer. He just told Mrs. Cui to buy as much as possible at the price of four cents a dou immediately, so as to fill the family's grain depot as much as possible.

At the same time, they have to go to Ruyi Wine Shop and buy as much Jiu Yunchun wine as possible. If they don’t have enough, they will buy it from other stores.

Buying grain and wine was an urgent matter, so naturally the whole family went out. Cui took Fei Jiu, Fei Shi and six women to the Xishi Grain Store, while Yun Chu took Fei Ba Naha and four women there. Fengyifang.

Logically speaking, today is still the Lantern Festival holiday, so there shouldn't be many people buying food and wine. When Yun Chu entered Fengyi Square, he realized that something was wrong. The carriages pulling wine here were lined up from the entrance of the square to deep in the alley.

Countless guys were busy loading wine into horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts, and trucks. Seeing this scene, Yun Chu's heart sank. Big trouble for the people of Chang'an was probably coming.

After finally arriving at Ruyi Winery with the carriage, he encountered Ruyi's stinky face.

Yunchu still didn't pay much attention to it. He cupped his hands towards Zhixia and said, "A certain family is here to bring the Jiu Ying Chun wine that has been ordered."

Zhixia held a copper-colored incense burner in her hand, lowered her head to smell the incense, and did not answer Yunchu's words.

Yun Chu turned his attention to the shopkeeper and said, "Is Ruyi Winery going to break the contract? If so, we will pay ten times the deposit and we will leave immediately."

The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and glanced at Zhixia from time to time, implying that he should ask the wine shop owner about this matter.

Yun Chu looked at Zhi Xia's disgusting face, frowned and said to Fei Ba, "I don't want the deposit, let's go."

After saying that, he turned around and left without saying anything extra.

"Is Zhixia so miserable that he doesn't deserve your pity?"

Yun Chu turned his head and looked at Zhi Xia's face that was ready to cry at any moment and said impatiently: "If you want to act coquettishly, go to Fang Zheng. I don't have any extra pity for you here."

"Don't you, Mr. Lang, want to know about my concubine and Fang Zheng?"

Yun Chu said irritably: "Fang Zheng asked me to send money, and I gave it to you. This is the end of our friendship. The next friendship is that I buy wine and you sell wine. I don't have the time or the mood to listen to you and Fang Zheng." The nonsense between them.

In a word, if you have wine, give it to me. If there is no wine, I will leave. "

Seeing that Zhixia's little face turned red, the shopkeeper quickly answered: "There is wine, there is wine. Madam Zhixia has already prepared it for the husband."

Yun Chu said to the shopkeeper: "Give me all the Jiu Ying Chun wine. I want more this time."

The shopkeeper nodded and took the waiter and a group of women to move the wine, leaving only Yunchu, Naha and Zhixia in the store.

Naha looked at her brother for a while and then at Zhixia. Although she didn't know why her brother was so disgusted with this sweet-smelling and fair-looking woman, she still stood decisively on her brother's side and treated Zhixia Also ignored.

The atmosphere in the store was extremely awkward for a while.

Yun Chu didn't care, she was just a mistress, she wasn't worthy of talking to her anymore.

Yun Chu had this attitude towards this kind of woman before, and he still had this attitude when he came to Datang.

If Zhixia is Fang Zheng's wife, then she should be called sister-in-law when she should be called sister-in-law, and she should be polite when she should be polite. Even if the sister-in-law's temper is a little bad, it doesn't matter, she can tolerate it. It's amazing that she finally got her back from Fang Zheng.

This is the principle for a man to get along with his friends and wives. As for hiding as far away as possible from the outer room, when the brothers are not around, it is best to treat them as if they don't know each other when they are face to face.

Just like how he dealt with Pei Xingjian's lover Gongsun, he would not show any mercy. Because it's not worth it, many times if you treat them nicely, you'll get a lot of trouble.

As a result, Zhixia began to cry loudly. Yunchu became increasingly unhappy and led Naha to stand on the street laughing and chatting.

"Brother, that woman is weird. Why is she crying?"

"Enough support."

"I think she wants to talk to you."

"Why should I talk to a woman I don't know?"

"Yes, it's annoying to look at someone who cries. When my brother marries me in the future, I must not be a crybaby like that. I want to find someone who won't cry even after being beaten."

"Hmm, I also think such a woman is good. However, when I get married, don't use her to practice your stick skills. If you want to practice stick skills, just ask your brother."

"Well, no..."

While the two brothers and sisters were whispering, the shopkeeper of Ruyi Winery came over and said, "Mr. Lang does not know that the owner of this winery is my young master, your colleague Fang Zheng.

It was just entrusted to Miss Zhixia to run it. Not long ago, Miss Zhixia's brother and sister-in-law came and threatened her as Miss Zhixia and occupied Ruyi Winery. Naturally, the old man and others were unwilling to work for a pair of bastards, so Ruyi let Ruyi The winery collapsed.

Now, Miss Zhixia is back in power, and Lao Chen and others are back. Miss Zhixia just wants to ask Lang Jun, when will Mr. Fang Zheng return from the Western Regions? "

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "He has been promoted now. If he wants to come back, he must have a way to come back. The reason why he doesn't come back is because he doesn't want to come back. That's it."

Yun Chu told the truth, this is what Fang Zheng is like in the Western Region anyway. This guy has brothers-in-law all over the world. If he really wants to come back, there must be a way to come back. The reason why he doesn't come back is simply because it's too comfortable to stay there.

The shopkeeper told Zhixia what Yun Chu had said without asking any questions. Zhixia thanked her from a distance and went back.

Seeing a jar of wine being loaded into the car, Yunchu was generally satisfied. Four hundred jars of wine should be able to produce fifty or sixty jars of alcohol.

In the past, Yun Chu was not so impatient. It was mainly because Liang Jianfang's housekeeper urged him very urgently and gave him a lot of money. This made Yun Chu regard the purification of alcohol as an important matter.

Four hundred jars of wine, Fei Ba, took his people six times before he and the guys from Ruyi Winery delivered the wine to Yun's house.

Mrs. Cui stood guard at the door, removed the threshold of her home, put up wooden boards on the steps, and watched the grain carts enter the house.

Seeing that Yunchu was back, he quickly said: "It has increased by another penny. I estimate that by tomorrow, the price of food will definitely rise to eight cents. When I went to the grain store to buy grain, I asked the grain store clerk. Today Those who went to buy grain were all from wealthy families, and they were buying grain in large quantities.

Langjun, according to my past experience, once food shortage occurs, it will take two good years to alleviate it. If we encounter another famine year in these two years, we will be in big trouble.

The wealthy families would open warehouses to help their own tenants, and the wealthy families in the city would help their hungry neighbors.

Fortunately, Mr. Lang bought enough coarse grains when grain prices were at their cheapest. If there was a famine, our family's small amount of money would not be enough for the residents.

Therefore, I am going to buy some more food and store it. "

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "If you continue to collect food, it will attract others' attention. That's it. Just enough for our family."

Ms. Cui added: "Lang Jun, the famine years are the critical period for the expansion of a family. Even if it is temporarily difficult, it will be of great benefit in the future."

Of course Yunchu knew what Cui meant by this. In good years, you have to pay to buy people, but in famine years, you can replace them with some food. Of course, the profits are amazing.

Yun Chu didn't dare to try, he was really afraid of being struck by lightning.

"From today on, we have stopped borrowing public grain from the public. We tell them that if they want to borrow grain, they have to wait until the warehouse opens in April. The real shortage will be at that time. If you can overcome it now, just overcome it."

There was an undercurrent surging, and Yunchu now wanted to know the origin of this inexplicable food fluctuation.

If you want to know this, you can only ask the wealthy families of the Tang Dynasty. The only family that Yun Chu knew that could be called a wealthy family was Da Ci'en Temple.

People like Liang Jianfang are actually lambs to be slaughtered in the face of such big fluctuations. They have no resistance. They will suffer the losses they deserve. There will be no exception just because he is a third-grade general.

The old monkey hadn't been to the Yun family in the past few days, so he asked Naha to go into the temple and ask. The people in the temple didn't know what the old monkey was doing. They only knew that he seemed to be very busy.

Just when Yun Chu was worried, the Shangyuan Festival carnival in Chang'an City finally ended. People woke up from the carnival and began to prepare to live their lives. At this time, they discovered that the prices in Chang'an had risen so much that they were very unfamiliar. .

The people of Jinchangfang have become much more united since they killed people together with Yun Chu. Even if they go to the West Market to do business, they now know that they go in groups and come back in groups.

Moreover, they are willing to gather together with people in the same market as much as possible according to the types of goods sold.

This kind of unity is actually forced. They are afraid that the buck-toothed people will cause trouble for them outside Fangshi.

On the twenty-first day of the first lunar month, the price of corn in Chang'an was twelve cents per dou.

Yunchu checked the copper coins that the residents had recovered from the West Market and found that 20% of them were new coins.
