After coming out of the rice and grain shop, Song Chuchu couldn't help but asked tentatively, "Second sister-in-law, the princess is so beautiful. What is her relationship with you? How come she still knows Colonel Chen?"
Hearing Song Chuchu's words, the second sister-in-law of the Chen family only smiled lightly. She turned around and looked at Song Chuchu without saying anything.
Song Chuchu felt a little guilty and said, "Why are you looking at me like this? Did I say something wrong?"
The second sister-in-law of the Chen family just smiled, "It's nothing."
Song Chuchu followed unwillingly, "What is nothing? You haven't told me where that girl is from."
After spending the past few days with Song Chuchu, how could she not see that Song Chuchu liked her youngest son.
It's just that the third child said that she was a friend's wife, and naturally she didn't want her brother-in-law to get into this kind of dispute, so she could only pretend to know nothing at the moment.
But Song Chuchu couldn't hold her back and just shook her arm and asked relentlessly.
The second sister-in-law of the Chen family also said, "That is Princess Jin. Speaking of which, she is very close to our A-Qian."
Hearing this, Song Chuchu suddenly reacted.
In the past few days, she had been pestering Chen Jinghuai a little tightly. She also secretly followed him on blind dates, ruining several of his marriages.
This matter was later discovered by Chen Changnian. Chen Jinghuai didn't say anything at that time, but the sister-in-law became unwelcome to her. At that time, the two had a few words, and the sister-in-law said that her third brother would never like her, and also said That Princess Jin was his third brother's true love, and they were only one step away from getting married. If Prince Jin hadn't fought for her love, they would have become husband and wife that day.
After that, she only said that Princess Jin was as beautiful as a flower.
Now when she heard the second sister-in-law of the Chen family mentioned Princess Jin, she naturally reacted a little.
And she suddenly remembered that on the way to buy clothes that day, she seemed to have had a chance encounter with Princess Jin.
At that time, Princess Jin was on her way to marry Prince Jin, and she wanted to join in the fun and see what happy event was going on there.
But at that time, before he could figure out the reason behind the gossip with others, he was dragged away by Chen Jinghuai.
Now think about his reaction that day, and then combine it with Chen Changnian's words.
Song Chuchu suddenly felt extremely jealous.
And the hostility towards Princess Jin.
After all, Princess Jin is now alone. If the old relationship between these two people is really unforgettable, it is difficult not to guarantee that there will be nothing between them.
And when she faced a love rival who was richer and more beautiful than herself, she really felt that she had no chance of winning at the moment.
After all, if she were Chen Jinghuai, she would definitely choose Princess Jin. After all, who doesn't love a beautiful and wealthy woman?
When she thought of this, Song Chuchu, who was jealous, felt that she had to do something more.
At this time, Song Chuchu's thoughts turned to Chen Jinghuai, but the second sister-in-law of the Chen family was worried about where to get some rice chips to go to the porridge factory.
After all, the rice and grain shops nearby are not cheap nowadays. Although the Chen family also runs some businesses, the three men also have official status.
But their family members didn’t use their status to make money, secondly, the second sister-in-law wasn’t the best at doing business, and thirdly, these three gentlemen didn’t have much to gain in the bitter cold land of Yunzhou. Of course, they didn’t Don't bother to fish for that side door.
Therefore, the second sister-in-law of the Chen family was a little embarrassed for a while. Of course, she could actually choose not to donate food to the porridge factory.
But this second sister-in-law is so face-saving. After all, the gang of official ladies she met usually gather together except to show off their jewelry, men and children. He will also show off the good deeds he has done.
Therefore, the second sister-in-law of the Chen family also wanted to do some good deeds and brag about it. When she told the people in the government about this idea, her brother-in-law, who was about to go out to help the government, was very happy after hearing this. Even his sister-in-law, with whom he has always had a delicate relationship, praised himself repeatedly. He even took out his own personal money and asked himself to raise some rice for her.
She was so flattered by the compliments at that time that she naturally agreed.
Because the Chen family did not specially store grain, it was definitely impossible to donate the rice grain specially stored in their house.
So she just wanted to go out and collect food from a nearby rice and grain shop.
I didn’t want to go out immediately and asked about the price of rice.
It is known that these female businessmen have more than doubled the price of rice grains.
This second sister-in-law has been in charge of the family's income all year round. When she heard that the price had more than doubled, she naturally felt distressed and couldn't bear to spend the extra money.
So she took Song Chuchu, who was entrusted to her by Chen Jinghuai, and asked them one by one at every rice and grain shop.
Fortunately, her hard work paid off. She asked so many shops, and they all agreed on the same price. Unexpectedly, she finally found a rice shop at the end of the street where the price had not increased by a cent. Unfortunately, Shops can only sell rice per person at most.
Moreover, Princess Jin also told herself the reason. Naturally, she couldn't really cut off other people's livelihoods just for her own sake.
It's just that except for them, no other shop in this large rice market has cheap prices.
Do you really want to be taken advantage of?
When the second sister-in-law of the Chen family was worrying about this, Sun Dequan, the shopkeeper of Jiang Nianjiao's rice shop, ran out in a hurry.
When Sun Dequan saw the second sister-in-law of the Chen family, he stopped and called out, "Madam, our boss asked me to take you to other places to buy rice. She promised that even if the price rises, it will not rise so high."
After hearing this, the second sister-in-law of the Chen family was also doubtful. After all, these people had set the price so high. Could it be that they were jointly raising the price? Asking them to cut the price of rice at this time is not like asking them to cut off their own legs.
But considering that Jiang Nianjiao's father is Jiang Xiang, and now she is the Princess of Jin, she might be able to sell it to other merchants to save her face.
Therefore, the second sister-in-law of the Chen family also followed Sun Dequan to the nearby rice and grain shop.
Because Jiang Nianjiao had just lowered the price of his shop to the lowest, there was almost no queue in front of the nearby rice and grain shop.
Sister-in-law Chen and Sun Dequan walked to a rice and grain shop called Suji Rice Shop.
The clerk at Suji Rice Shop naturally knew Sun Dequan, and all his customers had gone to line up in front of Sun Dequan's shop just now. As long as the clerk inquired a little, he would know that it was Sun Dequan and the others who secretly lowered the price of rice.
Obviously, when several rice shops held a joint meeting before, after receiving news of the recent heavy snowfall, they stocked up a large amount of rice in advance. They only planned to jointly make a plan, which only created a situation where the rice grain transportation was not smooth and the price of rice noodles increased.
Unexpectedly, in the end, Sun Dequan actually became a traitor and temporarily lowered the price. Now all his customers have left. Some of them who bought high-priced rice just now are only asking for their money to be refunded by the store, and then go to Sun Dequan to buy rice.
Although Sun Dequan's inventory may not be able to supply rice to the entire Beijing neighborhood, they can wait until Sun Dequan has finished buying it before continuing the high-priced rice business. After all, it is a fact that transportation is not smooth and rice transportation is inconvenient.
But if such a change suddenly occurs, no one will look at it with a cold face.
Now that Sun Dequan actually dared to come here, the boss and waiters of Suji Rice Shop would not look good when they saw him.
The shopkeeper of Suji Rice Shop even said sarcastically, "I wonder what's going on right now, but it turns out it's Boss Sun here? Boss Sun's business is booming now, why do you want to have fun with us by coming here?"
Sun Dequan could naturally tell that the shopkeeper was blaming himself. Now he could only apologize and said with a smile, "Boss Su, something unexpected happened today. Didn't I come here to apologize to you in person?"
When the shopkeeper of Suji heard this, he immediately said, "No! Boss Sun, don't mention any apology! We can't afford Boss Sun's apology."
After saying this, the shopkeeper Su Ji just turned around and walked back into the house.
Sun Dequan quickly grabbed the owner of Suji Rice Shop and said, "Boss Su, I'm coming over right now. In addition to apologizing, I also have something serious that I want to talk to you about in person."
The shopkeeper of Suji Rice Shop said, "What do you want to say?"
Sun Dequan took the initiative to pull the Suji shopkeeper into the inner room, and then said mysteriously, "You should have known just now that our price was the same as yours at the beginning, but then our boss came over and changed the price. Pressed down."
After listening to Sun Dequan's explanation, it obviously could not dispel the anger of Suji shopkeeper over the loss of business just now, so he just said displeasedly, "What does it have to do with us? Everyone agreed at the beginning, but in the end, your family
But I directly lowered the price. If I hadn't taken the sake of my friendship with you, do you think you could step through the door of our rice shop today? "
"I can't do anything to you, but your actions today have offended other merchants. When the time comes that your rice shop will close down, don't blame me for not warning you."
Upon hearing this, Sun Dequan had no choice but to apologize and respond.
After the owner of Suji Rice Shop finished venting his anger, he only asked again, "Old Sun, tell me the truth, what do you, the boss, think of this ready-made opportunity to make money?"
Seeing that he finally got to the point of the question, Sun Dequan said softly, "Old Su, you should also know the identity of our boss, right?"
That old Su nodded.
At this time, most of his anger was gone, and his rationality returned. He turned to look at Sun Dequan and said, "But what news does your boss have from above?"
Sun Dequan nodded, "That's right. Our boss went back to his parents' house today. The higher-ups have noticed this situation a long time ago. It is estimated that it won't be long before they personally come forward to stabilize the market price, and they will inevitably have to pay for it afterwards." Some businessmen kill chickens to scare monkeys. We who do business have to look at the looks of our superiors."
"It's not like our business can't continue, so what can we do to earn this kind of beheading money? If the people are gone, what can we do to earn this little money?"
Hearing Sun Dequan's words, the owner of Suji Rice Shop also broke into a cold sweat.
If the higher-ups really want to care about this matter, then what they are making by driving up prices is indeed killing money.
