Heavenly Dao Formula

Changjia Food Shop in Baihe City.

The shopkeeper was sitting at the counter, looking bored at the pouring rain outside the street.

In this weather, let alone customers, there are very few pedestrians.

However, even without this heavy rain, the situation would not be too different-the next year will be the off-season for business, and the food stored before the New Year should be enough to eat for a while, and it will basically get better in the second half of the year. The peak season is obviously summer and winter, one is before harvesting, and the other is to reserve for winter.

In autumn, because the grain is ripe for harvesting, there are too many people who sell it in bulk, and the grain shops are under greater competition pressure, and they cannot sell at any price. At this time, you only need to pay attention to low-price acquisitions.

Although there is no need to worry about selling food at any time, there is a difference between high prices and low prices. Previously, when the Jinxia Army set up a battle outside of Baihe City, the shopkeeper was still stunned. The people were afraid of what they didn’t eat during the war. As long as they fight for a month or two, the price of food will not fly to the sky? Unexpectedly, in less than a day, Lord Prefect announced his surrender, which really disappointed him.

Except for an additional branch office on Jiuli Street, White River City did not feel any changes from before.

At this time, the welcome bell at the door jingled lightly.

A man walked quickly into the house.

The rain dripped down his clothes and accumulated on the ground into puddles. Obviously he was walking in a hurry, even in the heavy rain.

Oh? Finally, business has come to the door.

The shopkeeper straightened up and said, "This guest officer, do you want to buy grain? There are rice and yellow rice in the shop, as well as ground flour and finely beaten noodles. If you want to buy oil, I also have a lot here."

The man took off his hat and showed his face. He was a strong man in his thirties. Put it in the home of ordinary people, that is the undisputed head of the household.

Hmm...it doesn’t look like a servant. Such customers usually buy small quantities and don’t choose high-priced rice. The shopkeeper thought to himself that he had already taken out a handful of yellow rice from under the counter, intending to show it to the guests.

The so-called yellow rice is more than two and a half years old rice.

Business is small, but it is better than nothing. Those who do this business often pay attention to a sign, and being able to welcome a customer on such a rare rainy day is a good sign in itself.

"I want it."

Sure enough, the other side nodded.

"Okay, how much do you want?"

"Five or six hundred."

"Okay, I'm going now--" The master was stunned, "How much?"

"Six hundred catties. Don't you have it here?" The man reported another exact figure.

Of course there are six hundred catties. If a grain store can't even get six hundred catties of goods, wouldn't it be a joke? The shopkeeper just didn't expect that this person's appetite would be so big, and most people would buy a few dozen taels of yellow rice.

"Guest, are you sure? Six hundred catties of grain is a bit heavy."

The man took out a cloth bag and dumped it on the counter, which was full of copper plates and broken silver. "You have a car here to help transport it, right?"

After seeing the money, the shopkeeper's suspicion disappeared, "Hey, this is natural. I will help you arrange it right away-hey, wood, come and work!"

After sending off the guests for half an hour, he couldn't help grinning.

This transaction is good and smooth. Although the price of yellow rice is low, the profit is not low at all. In addition to the large volume of shipments, the price of this single is probably not the one-day sales in the off-season.

I thought that today's business would end here. Unexpectedly, two hours later, another customer walked into the grain shop under a slightly smaller rain.

"The shopkeeper, do you have polished rice?"

"Yes, how much do you want?"

"Let's get eight hundred catties. The flour will also be about one hundred."

"Eight hundred?" The shopkeeper repeated subconsciously.

"Master wants to retreat and cultivate, and ordered me to buy more food and go back to the village. Is there any problem?" The other party's temper was obviously not good, and his brows were already frowned.

It turned out to be for the consumption of the entire Zhuangzi, and the shopkeeper suddenly, but this Zhuangzi farming by himself is also quite rare. "No problem, no problem at all, I will help you weigh and pack."

Eight hundred catties are already half of the inventory of refined grains.

However, this is only the warehouse of the grain shop. In the warehouse of the Chang family, there are still sufficient goods. The shopkeeper looked at the half-empty warehouse with a smile in his heart. There is no doubt that the grain shop sells more, and he can make a lot of money himself. This kind of business is naturally undesirable.

It seems that we have to go to Okura to replenish the goods in advance, the shopkeeper secretly said. Unexpectedly, the first rainy day after the year will be a good day.

...

Such a scene is not only the Changjia Food Shop.

The small and large grain shops in Baihe City ushered in a good harvest today.

And the following week is about the same, as if good luck is taking care of this business.

Everyone gradually discovered that this year's peak season seemed to be ahead of schedule.

In fact, it is not just White River City.

The same changes are taking place in Anshen, another big city, as well as in some counties and towns.

Food has become a hot-selling item.

...

In Baisha County, a few middle-aged people dressed as pharmaceutical farmers climbed a high **** and looked down at a busy mine.

"This mine... doesn't seem to be the same as elsewhere?"

The leader looked carefully for a while before speaking.

"What is the thing that keeps moving?"

No one can answer.

Even if they are not the ones who have seen Qianpo.

At the entrance of the mine, a long cloth belt was erected. This cloth belt has a length of almost a thousand steps. It not only connects several mine openings, but also directly leads to the yard area. More importantly, the cloth belt is movable-it continuously rotates in one direction, sending the piled mineral material to the yard in an endless stream. People only use it to swing back a few shovel, and they can easily remove the mineral material. Concentrate in one place. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

There are still several facilities like this under construction-when the remaining cloth belts are completed, the entire mine will be able to automatically collect the heavy mineral materials into the yard without a few people carrying them.

It doesn’t look complicated, but because everyone is a connoisseur, they know that it’s absolutely hidden mystery. Whether it’s a cloth belt that can prevent minerals from being cut, or those rollers that can continue to rotate, it’s not something ordinary people can achieve. .

Of course, there is more than this strange place. For example, in places where hard work is required, many workers seem to be not locals, or even from the six mainland countries. Their hair ranges from golden yellow to dark brown, and their faces are somewhat of a Westerner.

The treatment of these guys is a bit worse than that of ordinary workers, and there are still chains on their feet, which is obviously a way to deal with sinners.

When did Jinxiacheng get such a batch of coolies?

"Write it down. The Privy Council may be interested in these things." The leader ordered.

"I remember that Shenzhou is only such a mine?" Another person said, "The pig iron produced here should be deployed by the court, and now it is all owned by Jinxia City."

"Yes, so the investigation alone will definitely not satisfy the above," the leader's voice gradually became colder, "allowing it to completely shut down is considered a great achievement."

"I have checked. There is only a small-scale guard stationed in the mine, no more than twenty. There are guards on the side of the mountain, but the defense is not tight." The person answered, "But in the county town. It’s hard to say about the situation, maybe Jinxia Army guards it personally."

"Don't worry, they can only guard against foreign enemies, but they can't guard against internal cracks." The leader said with confidence, "I have witnessed this situation many times."
