Jiang Zhiyue pushed Lin Yiyi out of the oxcart, who was planning to retaliate against her, and was so angry that she felt much happier.
After she left, Fang Nian withdrew his apologetic eyes and wanted to comfort the irritable Lin Yiyi.
Fang Nian's voice was gentle and clear. After rearranging Lin Yiyi's clothes, he went down her back again and again to help her calm down.
Lin Yiyi's clothes were not completely damaged, but were torn apart. Now that she is wearing them and covering them up a little, no one can see anything.
What Fang Nian wanted to do was to go back as soon as possible. At this time, most families were cooking at home and there were not many people outside. Maybe if he was lucky, he wouldn't meet anyone.
But Lin Yiyi seemed to be dumbfounded on the spot, looking bitterly at the direction where the two men left the cart just now with eyes as big as copper bells.
Fang Nian called out to attract her attention, "Yiyi, let's go quickly. If it's too late, we won't be able to see the road clearly."
Lin Yiyi finally came back to her senses and looked at Fang Nian. When she looked away, the vicious look in her eyes was still there, which shocked Fang Nian.
But soon, Lin Yiyi suppressed the cruelty in her eyes. Fang Nian asked with concern: "Yiyi, are you okay?"
Lin Yiyi's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at Fang Nian and said sadly: "I regard you as a good sister, but I was bullied just now and you didn't come to save me. I hate you so much."
After saying that, Lin Yiyi shook off Fang Nian's hand and ran away.
Fang Nian wanted to argue that it wasn't that she didn't want to save her, but that she fell off the car so suddenly that she couldn't react in time.
By the time she and the driver came over, Lin Yiyi had already been caught in the hands of two thieves and almost insulted.
She knew that even if she stepped forward, it would be useless, so she could only wait for the man and the girl to save them.
But no matter what, she was indeed a little timid just now and didn't step forward to save her personally.
It was getting late now, and Fang Nian couldn't worry about Lin Yiyi running away alone, so he quickly chased after her.
In Lin Yiyi's heart, she and Fang Nian came out together, but now she was the only one who was insulted, which made it difficult for her to calm down.
Since they came out together, if Fang Nian really regarded her as a good sister, he should share her difficulties. Saying so many useless words is just that she was not the one who was insulted.
After Fang Nian and Lin Yiyi left, those gangsters were hung upside down on the branches one by one, their faces flushed red as the blood flowed back.
Seeing the two of them running away in the end, he panicked and said, "Don't leave, please put us down."
But no one heard their shouts. It was already evening, and everyone who wanted to go home had already returned. They were destined to hang there.
Unfortunately, most of the people passing by on the second day were women or girls. Seeing so many people hanging upside down and looking fierce, I wanted to run faster than a rabbit, let alone rescue them.
So until the afternoon of the second day, they didn't see any pedestrians passing by on this road who could put them down.
Until one day later, when Sanlang was passing by as he was being arranged by Feixi to do something, he saw these people hanging upside down and cut all the ropes with a knife.
Those people were dizzy and hit the ground hard, their anger reaching its peak at this moment.
As they untied the rope, several people cursed: "You bastard, you don't know how to be gentle!"
"I've broken my head, let's see how I teach you a lesson!"
The people who had untied the ropes stamped their numb feet and rushed towards Saburo with roars.
Saburo looked in disbelief. He was the one who obviously saved these confounded things, but now they not only scolded him but also wanted to take action!
It’s simply unreasonable!
Saburo angrily beat these people up until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, then he tied them up again and hung them in their original positions.
"It seems that you are hanging here for a reason. Just keep hanging. Bye bye!"
After Jiang Zhiyue left, she asked Jiang Si to take her straight back to Longxian Village.
Jiang Zhiyue became peaceful in the next few days, until the person sent by Ouyang Ming arrived a few days later.
Because once this food store opens, it is equivalent to cutting off many people's financial resources, and even causing many people to lose money.
After all, due to the scarcity of food, many grain merchants buy grain at low prices, hold all the grain in their hands, and then sell it to the people at high prices.
Once Jiang Zhiyue's grain store opens, it will definitely be on the opposite side of other grain stores. The shopkeepers and servants sent by Ouyang Ming are all people who have retired from the battlefield, so their skills are no problem.
After they arrived, they went directly to the Bie Lai Bookstore in the town to find the shopkeeper of the bookstore and asked him to pass the message on their behalf to tell Jiang Zhiyue that the people had arrived.
In the morning of that day, Jiang Zhiyue received the letter, told her family, and then went to town alone to meet these people.
Before these people came, Ouyang Ming had carefully given them instructions to treat Jiang Zhiyue like one of their Fei family members.
These people were also obedient. When they saw Jiang Zhiyue coming, they greeted her respectfully and did not look down on her at all because she was a woman.
"My subordinate Qin Jin has seen the girl." This man has a slender figure and does not look like a military commander. He has the air of a scholar.
"My subordinate Feng San (Feng Si) has met the girl."
The two people who spoke later looked somewhat similar, and combined with their names, they should be a pair of brothers. Jiang Zhiyue also greeted them, her neither humble nor overbearing look made people look at her.
The shopkeeper's name is Pan Wen. The last time Jiang Zhiyue brought Ming Yuanqing to buy story books, the shopkeeper was still impressed because she was being talked to. So when Jiang Zhiyue came to the bookstore later with Ouyang Ming's jade pendant, he was really frightened.
One jump.
He really didn't expect that the food he ate that day would actually end up in the person of his master's heart.
Nowadays, the storybook written by Jiang Zhiyue is still being serialized, and its popularity is only increasing. In addition, the paper produced in the papermaking workshop established by Jiang Zhiyue is only sold in Bielai Bookstore and another bookstore, Bielai Bookstore.
Now it's quite prosperous.
Shopkeeper Pan knew that both the storybook and the new paper were written by Jiang Zhiyue, and he admired her even more.
Shopkeeper Pan asked: "Have you had lunch, girl?"
"Not yet."
Jiang Zhiyue came right after receiving the letter, and in her hurry she also left behind her lunch.
"There is a new restaurant in town called Baiweilou. I heard that the food there is good. Why don't I serve as a host today and invite the girl and the three new brothers to try it."
The shopkeeper of the bookstore called the boy in the store and asked him to keep an eye on the store, then he took Jiang Zhiyue and others and set off to Baiweilou.
…
After the meal, shopkeeper Pan returned to the bookstore alone, while Jiang Zhiyue took brothers Qin Jin and Feng Sanfeng to the shop she bought.
"There is a courtyard behind this shop. The three of you can live here. If you are short of anything, you can buy it yourself. I will give you some money later."
Jiang Zhiyue pretended to hire the three of them to work, and negotiated with them about their monthly wages.
Jiang Zhiyue did not intend to accommodate them in the Sanjin Mansion connected to this small courtyard. Anyway, the few rooms here were enough for them.
Because Ouyang Ming had already told them before coming here that they would obey Jiang Zhiyue's command in everything.
Seeing the empty shop, Qin Jin asked: "Girl, everything is ready now, but where should we get this food?'
Jiang Zhiyue handed the key to Qin Jin and said, "I will take you to a yard later. On the fifteenth and last day of every month, I will have someone deliver the food there, and you can find someone to bring you to the shop."
Qin Jin asked again: "I also hope that the girl will tell me whether the price of this food is based on the current price of food on the market, or whether the girl has other arrangements."
Jiang Zhiyue said calmly: "You should inquire about the food prices yourself, and try to keep the price as consistent as last year's food prices."
In the past, she did not tell Qin Jin and others directly about the price of food, but asked them to inquire and then set their own prices. If they couldn't do this little thing well, how could they use them with peace of mind.
But Qin Jin was shocked when he heard Jiang Zhiyue's words. The current food price is the same as last year's. The current food price is more than four times that of the first half of last year. Is Miss Jiang trying to bring down the food price by herself?
If the price of grain is lowered so much at once, they are not afraid that other grain merchants will come to make trouble.
I am afraid that their food supply will not be enough.
After all, their food prices are so low, it will definitely attract the attention of the people. By then, all the people will flock here to buy food, and I am afraid that there will not be enough food.
"You don't have to worry about food. If you don't have enough in the early stage, just go to the village and find me, and I'll find someone to ask my friend to deliver it."
Qin Jin couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the friend Jiang Zhiyue mentioned was so powerful. Now he could actually get so much food and sell it at a low price. He was afraid that he would have to lose a lot of money.
Qin Jin crossed his hands and thought for a while and said, "I have a plan I want to talk to Miss Jiang."
Jiang Zhiyue motioned for him to speak.
Qin Jin said: "This girl has already offended many grain merchants. In this case, no matter how many people are offended, it is impossible to live in harmony anymore, so I thought I could cheat them."
Jiang Zhiyue became interested and asked, "Oh? How did you cheat? Please tell me in detail."
Qin Jin said like a profiteer: "It depends on whether the food in the hands of the girl's friend can sustain it."
Jiang Zhiyue signaled to him but said it didn't matter, and he didn't need to worry about the food.
When Qin Jin saw her like this, he thought she was not short of food.
He said: "The food prices on the market today are ridiculously high. If there is a company with lower food prices than theirs, those people will definitely try their best to buy our food at a low price and hinder our business."
"We can first set the price of food 10% or 20% lower than theirs and let them buy our food. They will think that we don't have much food. After several times, we will sell it to the people at the price we set.
food."
"If those grain merchants cannot stabilize their mentality, they will definitely try to sell the grain in their hands again. We can arrange for people to buy it at a lower price. This way, not only will the grain not be lost, but the price difference can also be made.'
After listening to Qin Jin's words, Jiang Zhiyue coughed lightly to hide the smile in her throat.
She had already imagined how angry those grain merchants would be after jumping into Qin Jin's trap.
She smiled and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you. Just do it as you say."
