When Liu Mo'ang returned to the inn, he met Jing Ran and Jing Yue, who were still wearing purple faces.

"Boss Liu, thank you this time. If you hadn't acted decisively, you might not have been able to catch those two liars this time." Jing Ran bowed deeply to Liu Mo'ang and thanked him seriously.

"Haha, I happened to make a move. In fact, even if I don't take action, you will report the case immediately, and these two scammers can't escape. This is the plateau. Except for a few airports that can lead to the outside, the remaining eight roads entering and leaving the plateau. Except for the China-Nepal Highway, there is no other way to enter and exit the plateau except the seven domestic roads. So, those two scammers can't escape."

Jing Yue smiled and said, "No matter what, I want to thank you this time."

"You are so polite. By the way, how are the matter doing?" Since catching the two liars that day, Jing Ran and his brother and sister have lived in the inn these days. They cannot leave here for the time being. The Public Security Bureau needs them to cooperate to collect evidence.

"It's almost done, because there is nothing to argue about the two scammers this time, so the evidence collection is relatively smooth. Now the other three scammers have been contacted. As long as the final number of fraud is determined, the procuratorate can intervene." Jing Yue gave some brief explanations for his sister.

Liu Mo'ang nodded and expressed his understanding. As long as the procuratorate intervenes in this case, there will be basically nothing to do with Jing Ran. At that time, she can wait for the procuratorate to file a public prosecution, and then the court will try it. After the trial, she can get her 600,000 back.

Although I lost another 600,000 yuan after paying, at least I did not lose all the talents.

"Boss Liu, today I will move to the county town with Ranran. The police officers of the county public security bureau told me that after the procuratorate intervenes, we may need to cooperate with the evidence collection once, so we will not live with you."

"That's fine. After all, living in the county town is much more convenient." Liu Mo'ang nodded in understanding, "If you encounter anything in the county town, even if you call me, I will still have some connections in the county town."

The brother and sister expressed their sincere gratitude again.

Watching the brother and sister leave, Liu Mo'ang shook his head and sighed, turned around and walked into the inn.

As soon as I sat down and hadn't drunk the tea, the big dog came over and started complaining.

"Brother Ang, I can't buy this dish."

"What's wrong? Why is this tone? You kid won't make trouble with people again in the market, right?"

"I want to make a fuss, but there is no way to make a fuss. The price of this vegetable is now just like a rocket, and it is rushing up. Now the price of many vegetables is so scared that I dare not buy it."

"Hmm? What's going on?" Liu Mo'ang asked frowned. Since returning here during the Chinese New Year, Liu Mo'ang has rarely gone to Dongga market to purchase it himself. Most of this job is done by big dogs, and my uncle occasionally goes to purchase it.

The price of vegetables and meat is a key factor that concerns the inn and restaurant business, so Liu Mo'ang certainly has to care about it.

"Do you know Jiang Nijun? Do you know ruthlessly?" The big dog sat on a stool and said angrily while lit a cigarette.

"I know this. Could it be that the prices of garlic and ginger have risen to an unpredictable rate this year?"

The big dog took a deep breath of cigarette and said, "The garlic this year is quite good, but it is acceptable in general. But this ginger has become a ginger army now. It is now thirteen yuan per pound in the market!"

"Damn, so cruel?" Liu Mo'ang was also a little surprised.

"This is not the most ruthless. After all, the price of ginger itself has never been too cheap. The most ruthless this year is green onions! How about you guess how much does green onions cost per pound now?"

"How much more can you make a pound? Is it three dollars per pound if I die?"

"Three dollars? Three dollars was the price last month! Now the price of green onions has risen to 8.51 pounds! Damn, this is still the wholesale price in the farmers' market, and the retail price in the small market outside has reached ten yuan!"

Liu Mo'ang was confused. After a while, he asked in disbelief: "Big Dog, it's not like this. You are not wrong with the wholesale price of 8.51 pounds? Isn't it 8.50 cents?"

"It's 80 cents, 80 cents, 80 cents, my brother! The wholesale price of green onions in Dongga Market is 80 cents! No one sells you a little less."

"I... fuck..." Liu Mo'ang couldn't help but take out a cigarette and light it. The price was really amazing. Anyway, he had never heard of a 8.51 pound of green onions since he was a child.

"In the past, there were garlic and Jiang Lijun. Since last year, the price of the second senior brother began to rise rapidly, so Zhu Jianting joined the ranks of garlic and Jiang Lijun. But at the end of this year, do you know what the name is on the market? It's called Xiang Qiancong! Damn it, it's money for money!"

Liu Mo'ang had just drunk a sip of tea into his mouth and spewed it out without any surprise, "Damn, Xiang Qiancong? This is a very vivid name!"

The big dog smiled bitterly and said, "At this time last year, I remember that the wholesale of green onions was only one more pound per pound, and the wholesale of ginger was about five yuan. As a result, a year passed, and the ginger increased by 2.4 times, but the green onions increased by more than 7 times! What is this not Xiang Qian onions? Also, I have been browsing Douyin these days, and Douyin says that the most luxurious dish this year is called fried eggs with green onions."

Liu Mo'ang almost squirted out again. The fried eggs with scallions that could not be served on the table usually have become the most luxurious dish?

But it’s no wonder to think about it. In the past, stir-fried eggs with scallions, and one scallion plus five eggs, it only costs a few dollars. But if the price of scallions is now, a scallion will cost ten dollars. If you count the price of one egg on the plateau, the price of this dish alone will cost fifteen dollars!

The price of ingredients alone tripled, isn’t this the most luxurious dish at present!

"Big Dog, what causes this result?"

"This seems to be national. Even the price of onion and ginger in our hometown of Dongshan is now a little cheaper than that in the plateau. Don't forget that our hometown of Dongshan is the most important production area of ​​onion and ginger in the country. The prices there are so fierce, you can imagine other places."

Liu Mo'ang was completely helpless now.

"Brother Ang, is our vegetable prices rising a little? If we calculate based on the current vegetable prices and meat prices, if we still follow the menu prices last year, we will definitely not make much money."

Liu Mo'ang subconsciously shook his head and refused without even thinking about it. "Don't rise for the time being! Anyway, we will close our business soon. Let's wait until we come back after the New Year."

"Brother, you have to think about it. If it doesn't increase, maybe the past two months will be in vain. Damn, now our kitchen is reluctant to use onion and ginger to stir-fry... The second senior brother costs about 30 yuan per pound, and onion and ginger per pound. Now, do you know how much it costs to stir-fry a meat dish?" The big dog was a little anxious.

"No! We should do it anyway. According to the current price of vegetables, we still make a profit, just make less. But if the price increases rashly, it may have a bad impact on the inn's fame. So, let's wait until we come back for the New Year to see the situation."

The big dog shook his head and sighed, "Okay, who told you to be the boss, you have the final say. Well, I'm here to report the price changes in the vegetable prices to you. Just be sure of it. I'll go back to the kitchen first and prepare to go."

Liu Mo'ang waved his hand without saying a word, but fell into deep thought.

It is undeniable that Dagou’s proposal to raise prices is correct. When he was engaged, his parents complained that the roujiamo at home had increased by several dollars. The roujiamo, which used to cost five dollars each, has now increased to nine dollars, and now he is reluctant to even eat roujiamo.

Now the green onions and ginger have also risen to such an incredible price. What is the control? Are you just letting the prices of these ingredients rise so wildly?

It is okay to increase money, after all, the income of ordinary people has increased, and no one will say anything if some things increase properly. But the problem is that the price is rising so far now!

This is not a high-tech thing, not an Apple phone, nor a memory stick. It is the basic ingredients related to the common people's basket of food. It is too unreasonable to just raise prices so crazy...

He sighed and shook his head. Liu Mo'ang knew that this kind of thing was not the final say.

Since the price of vegetables is so crazy, should we build a large greenhouse here and grow it and eat it by ourselves? But then he smiled bitterly and shook his head to reject this crazy idea.

If this is done in the plains, it will probably work, but this is a plateau!

Let’s not talk about how much it costs to build a greenhouse that is sufficient for resorts and inns, but where can people find this kind of vegetable? There are many herders here, but they are professionally graze. If you ask them to grow vegetables, the difficulty is probably even more difficult than Miss Gao, who is the second senior brother who doesn’t want to go to Gao Laozhuang!

Could it be that hiring vegetable farmers from their hometown in Dongshan to grow vegetables?

Well, the vegetables grown like that can probably scare people to death by just the cost!

But if you can’t grow vegetables, then how about raising the second senior brother?

A thought suddenly appeared in Liu Mo'ang's mind.

There is a kind of pig on the plateau that is very famous, that is, the Tibetan fragrant pig.

Tibetan fragrant pig is a unique pig breed on the plateau and is a low-fat pig breed. This pig has a low saturated fat content and a high unsaturated fat content, which has extremely high nutritional value.

The Tibetan fragrant pig, known as "drinking spring water and eating mountain delicacies", has become a very famous brand of plateau food culture. Especially in the Bayi area, the cooking methods of Tibetan fragrant pigs have been included in the local intangible cultural protection list, and the second batch of plateau autonomous region-level and national-level intangible cultural heritage protection projects have been applied for.
