Li Ji Grain Store is a time-honored brand that Jiangdong will try.

However, the scale of Li Ji Grain Store has not been large, it has been a shop for decades, and it only operates a single local stem rice.

Early in the morning, Shopkeeper Li came to He's house on Qianbaimen Street.

is also a grain merchant, but there is still a difference between the shopkeeper Li and the Chen family and the dozen or so big grain merchants.

The Chen family and the dozen or so big grain merchants are the initiators and leaders of this grain hegemony, while small grain merchants like the shopkeeper Li are passive followers.

On the one hand, it was because of the secret intimidation of the Chen family and Da Grain, and on the other hand, they themselves were greedy, so they followed the hoarding of food half-pushed.

It is also because of the participation of these small grain merchants that the food shortage in the Yinjiang market has become more serious.

As of yesterday, the worst brown rice has risen to five jiao a catty, and good rice is even more priceless, and there is no half catty of good rice on the market.

But for some reason, the higher the price of grain, the more panicked Shopkeeper Li became.

Shopkeeper Li always felt that something would happen if he continued to speculate like this, and something big would happen.

So when he gets up early in the morning, the first thing he does is to find the shopkeepers of several nearby grain stores, first, to keep warm in a group, and second, to listen to the market rumors.

When Shopkeeper Li arrived, the He family had already gathered several grain store shopkeepers.

After greeting each other, the shopkeeper Li said: "Lao He, what is the market today?" ”

"Say hello over there." Lao He is also the shopkeeper of the He family, and said with a bitter face, "I said that there will be another wave!" ”

"What? Still going up? Shopkeeper Li immediately shouted, "Now this price can no longer be sold, if it rises again, then who will sell the grain in our hands to?" ”

"If you can't sell it, you can't sell it." Another shopkeeper said, "It's a big deal to fall back to the beginning, and we don't lose money anyway, right?" But what if it happens? That's a big profit. ”

Shopkeeper Li said with a sad face: "But I always feel flustered." ”

"What do we have to panic about." The shopkeeper just now said, "When the sky falls, there are tall men on top of them, if King Zhong Yan really wants to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, then we are just monkeys, and the Ma Zhu Chen family and those dozen or so are chickens!" What do you say are you panicking about? What's the panic? Ladies and gentlemen, today is still the old rule, first play eight rounds of mahjong! ”

However, today's eight rounds of mahjong are destined to fail.

As soon as the words fell, a guy suddenly ran in and shouted: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, shopkeeper!" ”

"What are you yelling about, what are you yelling about?" Shopkeeper He didn't have a good air, "I'm not deaf in my ears, I can hear!" What's wrong? ”

"Shopkeeper, something is wrong!" Jia Ding replied breathlessly, "There are rumors everywhere on the street, saying that King Zhong Yan ordered 200,000 tons of corn from the rice country, and it has been shipped to Zhenhai Port, which will be transported from the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Railway to Jiangbei, and it is said that after it is transported to Jiangbei, it will be sold publicly, and it will only be sold for half a cent per catty!" ”

"What did you say?" Shopkeeper He was dumbfounded.

Shopkeeper Wang and the others also looked at each other: "Half a cent per catty?!" ”

After a long time, the shopkeeper He finally came back to his senses and shouted: "Ah Kuan, you coax ghosts, half a cent per catty, how can there be such cheap food in the world?" ”

Ah Kuan scratched his head and said, "But sir, the neighbors are spreading it." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper Wang suddenly said: "Is it true or false, don't you know if you go to Jiangbei Railway Station to see?" ”

"Yes, yes, just take a look." Shopkeeper He patted his forehead, and immediately turned around and walked out, and Shopkeeper Wang and a few other small grain merchants hurriedly followed.

……

Akuan's news has lagged behind.

In fact, the first truckload of corn has already been transported to Jiangbei Railway Station and is already on sale.

Inside the station, thousands of citizens have already formed a long queue in the shape of a snake, and many more are rushing from the districts under the rule of Yinjiang.

Jiangbei Patrol Fang Chief Patrol Lu Rengui was like a great enemy, summoned all the patrols, and rushed to maintain order.

It's just that after maintaining order for less than half an hour, Cao Ziying, the chief of the Yinjiang Police Department, arrived with a large team of patrol officers, and then couldn't help but blast Lu Rengui and them away.

Gray came out of the train station, and Lu Rengui's tears flowed down.

God, this is in Jiangbei, Jiangbei is his territory, okay?

But no matter how much he sheds tears, it is useless, without the support of the foreign master, he is not a fart of Lu Rengui.

Not to mention the heartbroken Lu Zongxun, the citizens who had already bought food were so smiling that their mouths couldn't close their mouths.

"Brother, you're also here to buy food? There is really food, there is really food, but it is cheap, half a penny a catty, when the price of rice was the cheapest before, it was two cents a catty, but now corn is only half a penny a catty, really! ”

"To say, thanks to Mayor Zhong, if there is no Mayor Zhong, how can we eat such cheap food."

"That is, I told you a long time ago that our Mayor Zhong is a good person, and he will never die without help."

"If anyone dares to scold Mayor Zhong in the future, I will whip him with the sole of my shoe, and I won't be able to kill him, hum."

"Uncle, don't squeeze, don't worry, there is a lot of food, our Mayor Zhong bought 200,000 tons of corn from the United States, do you know how many catties are for 200,000 tons?"

"It's enough for our 300,000 Yinjiang people to share 1,300 catties each!"

"Oh, we Yinjiang people are blessed with Mayor Zhong."

Carrying bags of more or less corn from the train station, the smiling citizens began to praise their Mayor Zhong in a fancy way, these people have forgotten that just now, they were still scolding Zhong Yi behind their backs for being the king of Zhong Hades, and even cursed Zhong Yi for giving birth to a son.

When Shopkeeper He and Shopkeeper Li arrived, what they heard was a fancy compliment to Zhong Yi.

Seeing the citizens walking out of the station with a smile on their faces, and then looking at the bulging grain bags on their backs, the faces of several shopkeepers immediately collapsed, and it was over.

However, these shopkeepers still did not give up, and immediately squeezed into the train station.

After entering the railway station, several shopkeepers raised their eyes and saw that there was a slip of box-type train wagons parked on the platform, the side doors of these box-wagons had been opened, and several military policemen were standing in the door, taking a wooden rake to pick up corn, and the golden corn kernels flowed out of the car door like flowing water, shaking several shopkeepers dizzy.

At this point, a few shopkeepers finally gave up completely, and the dream of making a fortune has been shattered!

Now it's better to go back and sell your rice at a discount, otherwise what else can you do? If the city government really sells out 200,000 tons of corn at a price of half a pound per catty, their rice will be all in their hands! Rice also has an expiration date, and after a long time, worms will grow.
