Chapter 148 Monopoly Business
The next day, Fu Changfeng took Zhao Yuping to the county government office to sort out all the handed over things in order to have a clearer understanding of the situation in Shaoming County.

Xichun was not idle either. She took Taozi and the four nurses out. This time, the few of them wandered on the street directly on the pretext of buying things. They were worried that they were not familiar with the place and the language was not fluent, so they I invited Li Chang and Yang Jiang from yesterday to go shopping together.

"Madam, I wonder what you need to buy, so we can take you to the shop." Because Li Chang got the reward yesterday, Yang Jiang was also very attentive today, hoping to get the money too.

Life in the yamen is not easy, the monthly salary is very small, and sometimes it takes a while to get it, so they are of course very motivated to make some extra money now.

"I want to buy some rice, flour, grain and oil, clothes and fabrics, pots and pans and other household items. If there is anything strange, you can take us to see it."

Xichun thought for a while and then told them that these things were necessities of life, and she wanted to see for herself the influence of the Long family in the entire Shaoming County.

"I'm going to take my wife with me. These things are all on the same street. They are all belonging to the Long family. I'm afraid my wife doesn't understand the things in our county. In fact, they are mainly made by Chief Long and his family. business, other people can only drink a little soup.

Therefore, there are not many food shops on our street. Only the Long family and two other stores have opened three shops. Let’s go directly to the Long family to buy. Their business is also very good on weekdays. "

"Okay, let's go and have a look." Of course Xichun had no objection. Her purpose was to go to the Long family's shop.

"Madam, look, we're here. This is the largest grain store in our county and the most important business of the Long family."

"Brown rice is eight cents per pound, whether you want to buy it or not, the price is the same in our entire county." Xichun and Taozi stepped forward and looked at the rice. They grabbed the rice and examined it carefully, when they heard the voice next to them. The boy said arrogantly.

"What did he just say?" Xichun understood a few of the dialects, but she still pretended not to understand and asked Li Chang.

"Haha, ma'am, that guy said this is eight cents a pound. If you want to buy it, just ask them to bring it over in a sack." Li Chang was a little embarrassed when he heard the guy's rude voice, but he had no choice but to take advantage of the power of the Long family. It's too big. Even with the attitude of the waiters in the store, those who come to buy rice don't dare to have too many opinions and can only hold back if they do.

"Then how do you sell these soybeans?" Xichun asked the clerk, pointing at the soybeans.

"Hey, let me tell you whether you want to buy it or not. Now you look at this, now you look at that. They are dressed in decent clothes, but they look so shabby. They don't have money to buy any food. They just eat grass." The waiter looked at them like this. After saying that indifferently, he just sat there and blew the wind.

"Why are you like this? This is the county magistrate's wife. Do you dare to offend him? Why don't you quickly explain to the lady!" Seeing him like this, Yang Jiang moved out the county magistrate's sign. Sure enough, the boy heard that This person turned out to be the county magistrate's wife, and she was considered a person, so her expression immediately changed.

"Ouch, it turns out that the county magistrate's wife is here. Madam, tell me what you want to buy and I will install it for you." Of course the young man knew that a new county magistrate had arrived. What's new in a place like this? Word spread, not to mention the news that a new county magistrate had arrived, so it was immediately replaced by lame official language.

Originally, what he looked down on the most was these poor government servants, so he derogated them like this. Who knew that they had found someone to support them today, so he said, why did these two people dare to wait for the door of their shop today.

"Tell me how you sell your brown rice and soybeans." Xichun did not give him a good look directly, but still asked with the same expression as before. "This brown rice is eight cents, and this soybean is six cents. Madam, how much do you want to buy? Can we have someone load it into a truck and take it to the county government?"

"It's so expensive. The brown rice in our hometown is only [-] cents per catty, and the soybeans are only [-] cents per catty. This is twice as expensive." Tao Zi frowned when he heard the price.

"Oh, this uncle doesn't know. Our Shaoming County is in the mountains. Food can't come in from the outside, and it's difficult to transport it out. You should know that things are rare but expensive, so you say it's expensive. It’s a bit expensive, but these are the normal prices in our Shaoming County, no matter how young you are.”

"As for the other things, I'll take a look first and then decide whether I want to buy some of each and go back to eat." Xichun continued to ask about the prices of other things. As expected, the answer he got was that everything is much more expensive than outside. , this is a price that can only be sold in the capital city, but now it is sold in a small county town.

"Then give me fifty kilograms of rice, one hundred kilograms of wheat, one hundred kilograms of brown rice, and one hundred kilograms of soybeans first." Xichun saw him staring at her diligently, so she made her request.

"Okay, let's put it on for Madam." After the boy heard that she didn't want much, it was much less than he expected. Although there was no smile on his face, he still forced a smile and hurried to put it on.

"After it's installed, I'll send it to the county government and I'll pay you. My wife will go somewhere else to look at it later." After Li Chang finished speaking, the clerk didn't make any comments.

A few people went to the place where fabrics were sold again. This was also the shop of the Long family. The whole street was decorated with signs with the word "dragon" on it. It could be seen that the best areas of the street were all occupied by the Long family. No wonder. Other families cannot develop.

Fabrics are also expensive, there are not many styles, and they have long been out of fashion outside, but they are not sold cheaply here. According to the shopkeeper, this is because the cost of shipping the goods is too expensive, so it is naturally much more expensive to ship them here. .

Xichun only bought a little. After all, she brought a lot herself. This time she just wanted to find out the news.

A few people walked around the street for a day. Li Chang and Yang Jiang's legs were tired and numb. They didn't see Xi Chun showing any intention to stop. They both gave up. All they thought about was how capable this rich woman was. Are you shopping? I’ve been shopping for a day and I don’t feel tired at all.

Fortunately, as the sun was about to go down, Xichun finally asked to go back, and both of them saw joy in their eyes.

"Go, go, you beggar, is this the place you should come too? This is Long Chieftain's house. Get out of here, otherwise I will throw you out to feed wild dogs." Xi Chun was leading them around to Long Chieftain's house. At the door of the chieftain's house, he wanted to see the grand scene of the Long family in advance, but he saw a beggar in front of his house, and was chased away by the gatekeeper.

"I want to see the Dragon Chieftain. My family's land has been bought by the Dragon Chieftain. He hasn't given us any money yet. I have elderly parents and a squealing child. I hope the Dragon Chieftain will be merciful and give us the money. .”

"Go, go, Chieftain Long has given you the money a long time ago. You are playing tricks with your money and losing all the money in gambling. Now you are looking for bad luck. Believe it or not, I really want to throw you out!" The guard guard glared angrily. Stare at him.
