Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 162 Extraordinary
"Girl, why are you idle today? You are usually so busy that you don't even have time to see your godfather."

As soon as he saw Lan Lingxue's carriage, Li Yongtai rushed out of the shop to greet him, happy in his heart, but reasoned in his mouth, he hadn't seen his daughter for a long time, and now it was time to sell autumn grain, and he I'm not busy, I don't have time to see the little girl, I didn't expect that the little girl didn't come to see me, I'm really depressed,

"Didn't I come here? Godfather, you are really stingy. I know you are always busy and don't have time. I left the shop to see you. I don't want you to be so fussy."

Li Yongtai just laughed heck,

"It's good if you come, it's good if you come, godfather doesn't care, come in quickly, let godfather see if you are fat or thin, do you think about godfather."

Li Yongtai only had Lan Lingxue in his eyes, and he didn't even notice the little hoe when he came to him. He thought it was a customer from the corner of his eyes, and he politely hid aside. It's just that there is no sense of existence, and it is directly ignored by people.

"Godfather, the little hoe has come to see you, so why don't you say something."

Lan Lingxue was very distressed when she saw her younger brother being left there, she tugged on Li Yongtai's sleeve and told him to talk to Little Hoe quickly,
"Small hoe?"

Only then did Li Yongtai realize that the young man standing beside him was that little boy back then.

"Ah, little hoe, you've grown so tall, Uncle can't even recognize you, you're a big boy."

After being told by Li Yongtai, the little hoe was relieved. After all, the two hadn't seen each other for more than three years, and when he was growing up, Uncle Li didn't recognize him, so it was reasonable.

"Hello, Uncle Li!"

Little Hoe took a step forward and saluted politely.
"Okay, okay, okay, this is the same kid from back then, I really don't recognize him, hurry up, come and sit in the house."

Li Yongtai pulled the little hoe, and hurried to the shop, the little hoe saw his sister following behind, and felt completely relieved, look, he is more important than his sister, when Uncle Li saw him, he put his sister behind After leaving, he turned around and made a face at his sister. Lan Lingxue still didn't know how careful he was, but, it was a child after all, and she couldn't even tell that he was being polite, so she really couldn't wake him up.

"Godfather, is this year's autumn grain sold well? I'm just a little worried, so I came here to have a look."

Following Li Yongtai into the cubicle of the shop, Lan Lingxue got down to business first. When she entered the shop just now, she found that although there were quite a lot of customers queuing outside, there was only one queue in the shop right now. so that she can't see whether the shop is selling well or not.
"Okay, why is it bad? Thanks to your advice, we didn't have much energy to sell grain last year. We only sold [-]% more extra-grade flour than in previous years, and the rest was saved. Customers felt that these flours were also good. It is rare that although we have informed them that the quality of the flour has declined, they still bought it back as a treasure. As a result, they ate last year's grain and felt that it was not much different from previous years. Compared with ordinary grain, whether it is taste or quality, ordinary grain is incomparable, so they feel that we have integrity, and feel that when the quality is only slightly reduced, we have reduced a bag of flour by five dollars. The two silver coins is a testament to our sincerity, this year’s flour sales are better than last year’s, and even other grains are also sold more than in previous years.”

After hearing this, Lan Lingxue felt a little relieved, but she was still quite puzzled about the traffic flow.

"Godfather, if the sales are good, why is there only a line of people buying food? It looks like there are many people outside, but when you enter the shop, you find that there are really not many people."

Lan Lingxue was really afraid that her godfather was comforting herself, that she was too worried,
"Oh, you mean this, you don't have to worry about this, it's because this year we put up notices in our store to announce to customers that we have enough storage of this kind of flour, you can buy it at will, so that they don't have to crowd In the past few days, customers have been shunted, and our shop can relax more."

"Godfather, is the grain produced in the field really enough to sell?"

Although [-] mu is a large piece of land, it is unrealistic to say that the grain harvested is enough to feed the entire city.

"This is ten taels of silver a bag of flour. Ordinary people can't afford it. Isn't it just those rich and noble people who come to buy it? Now when I hear that there are reserves, I don't rush to buy it. Isn't our grain enough to sell? Well."

Yes, in previous years, the more food was said to be scarce, the more frantically they bought it. Even if they couldn’t eat it, they wanted to store it at home. Now that they know that there is stock in the grain store, they are not in a hurry. This relieves the pressure on the grain store , but the flour is not less sold. It can be seen that this sales are temporary, and we cannot always look at the market with old eyes. Now the reputation of Li's rice and grain shop has spread, and everyone knows that the grain quality of this shop is high. Now Even the modified rice grains in the shop are selling quite well. Moreover, Lan Lingxue has also pushed out some special grains for other grains, such as corn, soybeans, and mung beans produced by herself. As long as they are produced by herself, she will have The quality of confidence is extraordinary.

Picking up the tea brought by the boy, Lan Lingxue took a small sip,
"Godfather, I heard you just said that the customers ate the grain produced in our land last year, and didn't feel any big difference from before?"

When Li Yongtai mentioned this matter just now, Lan Lingxue paid attention to it, but she was anxious to ask about the sales volume, so she put it down first, and now she doesn't worry about the sales volume, so she put it down again Bringing it up, for her, this is an important matter,
"Yeah, that's the feedback from customers. I think it's pretty much the same. After all, it's not just one family or two who ate this flour. It should have a good taste and function. This year, you can buy it at will, and the purchase volume of each family is more than last year. It’s more than doubled, after all, the price is cheaper, but the effect has not decreased, so they feel that the money is worth it, and although our shop has lowered the price, the profit is more than in previous years.”

Li Yongtai explained to Lan Lingxue that this little girl in her family never did useless work, since she asked, there must be a purpose.

"I thought the quality of the grain here would be worse than that of our hometown, but I didn't expect it to be of the same quality, so I don't have to worry about it, and we will continue to sell like this in the future, and we will have nothing I’m so worried, the business is already on the right track, and now it’s entered a virtuous circle, at least, within ten years, we don’t have to worry about the business of the rice store.”

Lan Lingxue really never thought that the production in the earth would not be too different from the production in her own space. She despised her self-righteousness a little bit. In her heart, the production in space is the best, so she In Zhuangzi, my family and I have always eaten the food in the space. I have never tried the crops in the ground. Now that I think about it, as long as the clear spring water in the space is added, the quality will not be much different. I give it every year. The condiments in Xinfa Town, Puling County, Jingcheng and those hot pot chain stores of the Second Prince are superfluous. With their own dishes, the taste can be guaranteed. This is a typical bureaucracy. , How arrogant is it to define the nature of something without trying it yourself.

This incident gave Lan Lingxue a timely warning, because she had been blindfolded by her smooth sailing all this time, and had lost a lot of observation and analysis of things. If this continues, problems may arise.
"Girl, what's the matter?"

Li Yongtai saw a trace of seriousness on Lan Lingxue's face, he thought that Lan Lingxue had discovered that there was something wrong in the shop again,
"No, I was just distracted for a while."

Seeing that his daughter didn't want to talk about it, Li Yongtai didn't continue to ask. He knew that Lan Lingxue had an idea. If she felt that something needed to be said, she would definitely discuss it with him. If she didn't want to say it, it meant that she hadn't thought about it yet. Well, then don't add pressure to her,
"Go back to godfather's for dinner tonight?"

This is because she wants to keep her daughter for a night, but Lan Lingxue is carrying a small hoe, and she hasn't greeted her parents at home. It seems that she can only disappoint her godfather.

"Godfather, I still have something to do today, so I'm leaving now. I'll come to see you another day, and I'll definitely stay at the mansion for dinner."

Fearing that Li Yongtai would stay, Lan Lingxue had already stood up, and Little Hoe also got up, and saluted Li Yongtai,
"Uncle Li, then my sister and I will go back first. After a few days when I go to Beijing to study, I can visit you often. Don't be annoyed by then."

Although Li Yongtai is Lan Lingxue's godfather, because of the acquaintance back then, Xiao Hoe went with Lan Lingxue to the Hongfa Grain Shop on Market Street, Xinfa Town. Li Yongtai's helping hand back then is firmly remembered In the heart of the little hoe, so the little hoe has a sense of intimacy with Li Yongtai that exceeds that of other people.

"That's a good relationship, little hoe. It's a rare and good opportunity to come to Beijing to study. Where do you plan to study? Do you need uncle's help?"

Li Yongtai's greetings are sincere, after all, this is his daughter's younger brother, not much different from his own son, and he also hopes that he will get better and better.

"Don't bother Uncle Li, I've already contacted Guoxue, and I can report for duty in a few days. I also want to go and have a look today."

Seeing that he only mentioned it a little bit, Uncle Li wanted to help urgently. Little Hoe felt warm in his heart. After all, it was his own family. When he could reach out to help, he would not shrink back.
"That's really good, Guoxue, many young masters in the capital may not be able to go there to study, it seems that the person who helped you contact is very capable, you have to repay them well in the future, this Guoxue, Uncle Li can't reach in, so you have to be careful."

Li Yongtai patted Xiao Hoe on the shoulder and talked to him as if he were facing an adult. This put Xiao Hoe in a good mood. Was he depressed because he was always treated like a child?

"I will be careful, Uncle Li, don't worry, I will take care of myself."
