A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 658
After the busy period of spring planting and farming, there are still several months before the autumn harvest. Therefore, during this period of time, food will be relatively scarce, and the corresponding price of grain and oil will also rise.

After the autumn harvest, the price of grain is the cheapest, and some shops will stockpile a large amount of grain and sell it when the grain is in short supply the next year.

The shop below that Xie Yu took over used to rely on this method to make a fortune during this period of time. In this way, it can also control the most basic living prices in the capital, thereby affecting other aspects of business.

There are quite a few grain and oil shops in Beijing. Each store is located in each street section. On the surface, there are different shopkeepers and bosses. In fact, there is only one boss behind the scenes.

There are also some shops other than Xie's house, who know more or less about the water in it, and dare not oppose Xie's house.

Whatever price the Xie family set, they followed suit one after another, not daring to lower it by half a cent.

However, this year, there are shops that dare to take this trip.

As a businessman, Xu Shenfang is of course well versed in the prices and demand laws of grain, oil, rice, and noodles that the people basically need. It was also after last year's autumn harvest that he started to stockpile grain before he opened a grain store in the capital.

By the beginning of spring this year, when the grain is ready to be sold, the grain shop will be opened just right.

The opening of the grain shop benefits the people, and the price of grain is naturally lower than that of other shops.In this way, people who are short of food in their homes will first consider Chen Ji Liang Shop to buy food.

It rained a few times in late spring, and the air was humid. The grain in Xie's granary was not able to get out much, and there was a faint tendency of damp.

Take a look at Chen Jiliang Shop, the business is booming when it just opened, how can it not be envied.

Xu Chenfang muddied the water and repeatedly broke the rules set by the forces behind the mall.

Xu Chenfang's steward came to report worriedly: "My lord, the water in this capital is much deeper than our previous land. If this continues, we may cause trouble. Many people have already set their sights on us."

Xu Chenfang stroked her fan and tapped her palms, and ordered: "Whoever is staring at them, send someone to watch them back. I have to figure out how many legs this opponent has."

He raised his feet and walked forward, and said leisurely: "If this situation is not messed up, my son, I can't get in; if you are timid, you will only earn pocket money in the end, not enough to buy toys for Jiao Jiao Zhuang Zhuang."

***
Xie Yu asked people to investigate the person who ruined his business, starting from the deed, found the behind-the-scenes owner of the Chen Ji shop, and then followed the vine to find out his origin.

The steward of the Xie family presented the things he found to Xie Yu, and said, "The behind-the-scenes owner of this Chen Ji store is called Chen Fang. He is not a native of the capital. He came to the capital last year to do business. Chen Fang is not him either. Real name, his real name is Xu Shenfang, who is from Yingyang City. The villain sent someone to inquire, and there is indeed a merchant in Yingyang City named Xu, who is quite famous in the local area."

Yingyang City is a small place, quite far from Beijing.In such a short period of time, the steward only had time to make a general investigation, and it was all related to Xu Shenfang's business.

Xie Yu said: "A country bumpkin also wants to make trouble in this capital city. I'm afraid he won't know how to die by then."

The steward said: "Now that this person has been caught, the young master ordered, do you want to clean him up?"

Xie Yu looked at the information collected by the steward, which included which shops Xu Shenfang had opened in the past year, and what aspects were involved, and said, "Are you sure he did all of these by himself?"

The steward said: "Boss Chen Ji is indeed alone, that's right."

Xie Yu said: "In such a short period of time, it is indeed a powerful thing to be able to open up relationships, open a shop and register, and seize our considerable profits."

Immediately, Xie Yu ordered the steward again: "Don't be in a hurry to deal with him, help me make an appointment with him, let me meet first."

***
In late spring, everything grows, raining the earth.

The rain dripped down the eaves, and the water splashed half of the corridor, pattering.

Xu Shenfang's steward came in a hurry, went to the eaves and put away the umbrella, shook the raindrops off his body, put the umbrella against the wall, and walked in easily.

He handed Xu Chenfang an envelope, and said with an uncertain expression: "There is someone at the other side who wants to meet the young master."

Xu Shenfang opened the envelope, saw that it was written about the meeting place, raised her eyebrows for a moment and said: "Then go and arrange it, let's meet."

How could the steward feel at ease, and said: "I'm afraid they are uneasy and well-intentioned, how can the young master rush to the appointment, just in case..."

Xu Shenfang said: "Since all the appointment letters have been sent to me, it must have taken some time to check carefully. If I don't go, it will be a blow to their kindness. The meeting place is not a private house, so there is nothing to do." Don't worry, you just go and prepare."

The steward had no choice but to say "yes" and backed out.

Xu Chenfang raised his legs and put them on the table, his clothes drooping. He leaned lazily in the chair, turned his head slightly, and listened to the rain outside the window.

His fingers tapped on the chair handle again and again, and he didn't know what he was measuring.

Before Xu Chenfang went out for the appointment, she looked down at herself and said to herself, "This clothes should be changed too."

In his closet, he had already prepared robes of other colors, which looked more stable and restrained.It's just that he's used to being flamboyant, and he likes wearing red clothes.

Right now, he is about to step into this circle, but he can't help showing off.

So Xu Chenfang took off her red robe and changed into a green one before going out with her umbrella.

Xie Yuding's place is named Yanxiu, it is a famous brothel flower house in Beijing, many wealthy children spend a lot of money here for their beauty.

Yanxiu Pavilion is considered a very outstanding place in the capital.Moreover, long lights hang high inside and outside the building, and they stay up all night. At night, it is a magnificent gold selling cave.

As soon as he arrived at Yanxiu Pavilion, it was as if he had plunged into a pile of makeup.

When the welcoming girls saw Xu Chenfang coming in, they all wanted to throw champagne on him.The charming words are endless.

Xu Chenfang went upstairs and met Xie Yu's men. Two attendants stayed outside the door, and he was led into an elegant room upstairs.

At that time Xie Yu was spreading out on the soft chair, listening to the girl playing the music, when he heard the sound and looked back, he was stunned.

Probably he didn't expect that Xu Chenfang was such a beautiful person.Compared with him, the popular girl in the building who plays the tune seems to be three points inferior.

Xie Yu looked Xu Chenfang up and down with his eyes, and said, "Xu Chenfang, right, it's really better to see once than to hear a hundred things."

Xu Shenfang said: "Mr. Xie, I have admired your name for a long time."

Xie Yu invited Xu Shenfang to a seat, brought in food and drinks from outside, and the girl who played the song changed the song and continued to play.

Xie Yu ate the wine and said: "You went to the capital to do business from a small place in Yingyang City. In just one year, you have achieved something. It seems that you are indeed a rare talent. Registered with the deed office, It took a lot of effort to go through various procedures, pay business taxes, and open up contacts and sources of goods."
