Chapter 335 Can't Buy Wood

"Yo? What a coincidence, Miss Xiao, we meet again." As soon as he stepped out of the inn gate, a familiar face came to meet him.This person is white and fat, like a lump of meat. It is the shopkeeper Luo Kang that Xiao Ningxue met in Jude Building, Ji'an New City.

This Luokang is no ordinary person, he is Bai Chengzhi's cousin-in-law, the big shopkeeper of "Hongda Company" in the west, and all the industries in the west are under his control.

Didn't Xiao Ningxue make two dishes of "Green Dragon Lying Snow" and "Dark Clouds Covering the Sun" in Jude Building before? The white sugar and seaweed used in them are rare things, and shopkeeper Luo took a fancy to Xiao Ningxue's ingredients channel, moved to attract her mind.

It's a pity that Xiao Ningxue refused without even thinking about it, which really made him a little unwilling.

Although Xiao Ningxue didn't have a good impression of shopkeeper Luo, but if she stretched out her hand and didn't hit the smiling face, you couldn't just ignore him with a smile all over her face, right?
Then he also greeted him with a smile, "Yeah? It's shopkeeper Luo, the restaurant is so busy, why come here when you have time?"

She also didn't know that Luo Kang was the big shopkeeper of Hongda Company, and she was a little surprised that the business of the restaurant was so hot, how could he be able to get away with it.

Luo Kang still hadn't stopped thinking about attracting Xiao Ningxue, he moved his fat body by the corner of his robe and came over with a smile on his face.

"The two girls haven't had breakfast yet, right? We are famous for the porridge and steamed buns in Judelou, can you please have breakfast together?"

"Shopkeeper Luo, you're welcome, we've already eaten." Xue Ruyun crossed her arms and said in a neutral tone. Bai Chengzhi's men are definitely not good things, so why bother with him?
Xiao Ningxue also smiled politely, "The shopkeeper Luo is polite, we have already eaten, we still have something to do, so let's go first." After speaking, Xiao Ningxue and Xue Ruyun walked around him and walked forward.

Shopkeeper Luo's face darkened, and then he smiled again, and chased after him.

"Miss Xiao, have you considered my suggestion last time?"
"What proposal?"

"Come to our Hongda company and just do it. Our Baida boss cherishes talents and will definitely appreciate you."

"Damn, I've already forgotten about this!" Xiao Ningxue smiled lightly, "I said that I'm just a country girl, and I can't get into the eyes of Mr. Bai. There are many talented people in the world. , shopkeeper Luo better stop wasting time with me.

Seeing Xiao Ningxue's words were so firm and there was no room for negotiation, Luo Kang's face darkened.

"Miss Xiao, are you sure you want to refuse? As long as you are willing to work hard and join our Hongda firm, I guarantee that you can earn more than ten thousand taels of silver a year."

After hearing this, Xiao Ningxue stopped and looked at him calmly, "How does Shopkeeper Luo still have such great power? How dare you give me such a guarantee?"

Luo Kang thought that Xiao Ningxue was tempted, so he quickly chased after her out of breath.

"I'm the cousin-in-law of Bai Dadong's family, and the shopkeeper of Hongda Company in the west. How can I not make such a small decision?"

After wiping off his sweat, he continued, "As long as you are willing, how much do you want to earn? This is much better than repairing the shop yourself."

After Xiao Ningxue found out the identity of Shopkeeper Luo, a bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart, and she smiled after thinking about it.

"We only repaired the shop to help the villagers. After repairing it, we rented it out. We planted a lot of fruit trees in Taohua Village. I'm not interested in anything other than selling fruit. I'm sorry, shopkeeper Luo."

These words are also to dispel shopkeeper Luo's hostility towards her, and dispel shopkeeper Luo's thoughts of targeting her.

Why does this old guy want to recruit her over and over again? It's not because of her cooking skills and the source of ingredients. If she opens a restaurant after repairing the shop, she will definitely grab the business of Judelou.

Xiao Ningxue is not so arrogant that she thinks that she can beat the Hongda Company, among other things, if shopkeeper Ruoluo buys out all the wood, how will she repair her shop?
After hearing this, shopkeeper Luo glanced at Xiao Ningxue with a half-smile.

"Miss Xiao, why don't you really think about such a good opportunity? Is there any way to make money selling fruit?"

Xiao Ningxue smiled frankly, "I also know that selling fruit can't make much money, but I know how much I weigh. I don't have the skills to earn 1 taels of silver a year. Shopkeeper Luo, we If there is anything else, let’s go first.”

After speaking, Xiao Ningxue smiled at shopkeeper Luo, quickened her pace and left with Xue Ruyun.

After the two of them left, shopkeeper Luo's subordinates came over from the side.

"Boss, Miss Xiao really doesn't seem to have the ambition to open a restaurant."

"No ambition to open a restaurant? Heh~" Shopkeeper Luo suppressed his smile, the fat on his face twitched a few times, his narrowed eyes were full of coldness, "If she really didn't have this ambition, why did she go to the Jude Building that time?" In front of so many people, do you have to bring out the two dishes of "dark clouds cover the sun" and "green dragon crouching snow" to hit our restaurant in the face?'
"That's true." The subordinate pondered for a while, and then said, "But she's just a country girl, isn't it worthwhile for us to spend so much money on her?
"Why is it not worth it? Her land is very valuable. As long as she can't afford to repair the shop, she will sell it sooner or later. Then she will find a way to buy it at a low price and make a lot of money."

"The big shopkeeper is right, even if we hoard so much wood, if we can't sell it, we will lose a lot of money."

"It's impossible not to sell it." Shopkeeper Luo's cheeks twitched. "According to the current development trend of Su'an County, there will only be more people repairing houses. If you stock up for a while and sell them at a high price, you can also make a fortune."

"The shopkeeper is right." The subordinate hurriedly agreed, and then the two stared at Xiao Ningxue's back for a while, then turned and left.

Gaoyang City was also bustling like never before. There was an endless stream of caravans coming from Ji'an New City to purchase wood. So many people who built houses and pavements all came here to pull wood.

Surrounded by mountains, there is nothing else but wood.

There are six or seven lumber factories outside the gate of Guangdong City, where logs and boards are sold.

When Xiao Ningxue and Xue Ruyun left the city gate, they encountered many empty carriages returning to the city, and from time to time, the bosses talked angrily.

"I don't know which damned guy bought all the wood.'
"Yeah, I've searched all the lumberyards, but I can't find a single piece of wood."

"These profiteers, I'm afraid they want to sit on the ground and raise prices after they have monopolized?
After hearing everyone's conversation, Xiao Ningxue's expression was extremely ugly.

After He Xueruyun ran around the lumber factories outside the city, he found that, as everyone said, not only all the existing lumber had been bought up, but all the lumber to be felled in the next three years had also been reserved.

That is to say, within these three years, no one can buy a piece of wood.

"Xiaoxue, what should I do?" Xue Ruyun's eyes turned red anxiously.

If you can't buy wood, you can't repair the pavement, and if you can't repair the pavement, then the land can't be empty to grow vegetables, right?
