When Zheng's rice shop once again offered the price of "one hundred and fifty coins per stone" exactly the same as that of Zhao's rice shop, the people of Ruyang who were crowded on the streets to watch the fun cheered again, probably because they felt that the Zheng family of Ruyang was really worthy of being a foreigner, and gave them Ruyang a face.
But Zhao Yu, who was on the second floor of the Zhao family rice shop, smiled and said to Jingnv, "Zheng Qian is afraid."
Hearing this, Jingnv tilted her head slightly, and her two willow eyebrows were slightly frowning. Obviously, she didn't understand why her young master was so sure.
I saw Danru Danzhi's lips slightly open, as if she wanted to ask something, but then, she seemed to think of something again, and she bulged her face and didn't say anything.
There was a brief silence in the house where there were only two people.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu turned his head strangely and looked at Jingnu: "Jingnu, why don't you talk? We are the two of us in the room, and Zhang Ji is not here either. If you don't speak, I can't even answer."
The little master complained like a child, and the young lady couldn't help but pursed her lips and wanted to laugh. She pretended to be angry and said with a bulging face: "I won't ask. When I ask the young master, I will definitely think I'm stupid, and then I will bully me..."
"How could it be?"
Although he said this, looking at Jingnv's cute look with a bulging face, Zhao Yu couldn't control his hands and couldn't help but want to pinch her face.
There was no other meaning, he really thought Jingnv was particularly cute. Maybe it was because of his age.
"Okay, okay, don't bully you or you, ask quickly."
"Really?" Jingnv asked glutinously, then asked according to Zhao Yu's meaning: "Young Master, why do you say that Zheng Qian is afraid?"
"Look, so I can continue the conversation."
Zhao Yu touched Jingnv's hair, and then under the latter's protest, he turned to look at the Zheng rice shop outside the window and said seriously: "I just said that the Zheng family is used to being arrogant and arrogant, so is Zheng Qian. We have just dropped to 180 cents, and he immediately reduced ten yuan. This is obviously to turn against the enemy and put pressure on us... Of course I won't let him, so I immediately reduced twenty yuan. Unexpectedly, Zheng Qian was actually in vain..."
"Are he scared?" Jingnv's eyes lit up, and her face was filled with joy.
"Ah, he's scared." Zhao Yu nodded and said, "But it shouldn't be because of this price, but because of my reaction. He couldn't be sure whether I had considered it or just acted voluntarily... Haha, I took advantage of my age."
Jingnv nodded in a vague way and asked, "Now we and Zheng are both 150 cents per stone of rice? Is the young master going to surrender again?"
Speaking of this, she showed a hint of distress on her face and advised: "Young Master, stop lowering the price anymore, right? I've lost a lot...."
"Well...well, listen to you."
Zhao Yu reached out and rubbed Jingnv's hair.
Seeing that her little master actually listened to her advice, Jingnu was startled and then showed a little joy on her face, but then, the joy was quickly replaced by a look of worrying about gains and losses: "Will this affect the young master's plan? Young master, I just feel sorry for..."
Looking at Jingnv's fear of gains and losses, Zhao Yu smiled and told the truth: "I'm teasing you... Since I have decided to fight the Zheng family to the end, how could I give up halfway? The reason for maintaining this price temporarily is that there is not much rice in the store. Our manager is too cautious and only transports 200 stones of rice. How can this be enough? I will fight Zheng Qian a few more games, maybe the 200 stones of rice will be sold short today. Wouldn't that be a joke for the Zheng family? Wait for two days first, and when the subsequent rice and grain are transported here, we will fight him slowly."
"So that's how it is." Jingnv nodded suddenly and then she realized that she had been deceived again, and puffed her cheeks up as if she was angry.
In this way, the Zhao rice shop still maintained a price of 150 yuan, and after waiting for half an hour, there was no movement. This made everyone who had been in the Zheng rice shop, including Zheng Qian, the son of Ruyang Hou, breathe a sigh of relief.
Of course, the two feel relieved are completely different: Wang Zhi and others care about the price, while Zheng Qian realized that Zhao Yu on the other side was still a little rational at least.
In short, under the mutual restraint of Zhao Yu and Zheng Qian, the food price war that day ended with one stone, and 150 yuan per stone. Although there were people who were instigating the excitement and were not interested in the big deal, neither Zhao's rice shop nor Zheng's rice shop lowered the price.
I have to say that this disappointed many people in Ruyang.
"This Zhao family is just in a state of great momentum, why is there no movement now? You can lower the price, and I will buy one stone after another!"
"Even if Zhao is gone, the Zheng family has not made any noise... Do you think these two families have settled privately?"
"No way? Then I'll buy some at this price."
It has to be said that the rice shops of Zhao and Zheng suddenly stopped, making the people of Ruyang who were watching the bustling on the streets a little confused.
Most of them think that these two companies may have had contact in private. After all, according to common sense, only fools will always do such things as killing one thousand enemies and losing 800 to themselves. Isn’t it better for the two companies to join forces to make money?
With this idea in mind, at first those people who were watching Ruyang could not sit still. They thought that the price of grain and rice would be in Zhao and Zheng families would be restored to the original price after reconciliation, and even the price was even more expensive than before. So they flocked to the two rice shops to buy grain and rice.
Now there is no need to deliberately distinguish between Zhao and Zheng. Anyway, the prices of both companies are the same, and everyone they buy is the same.
Before the afternoon, Zheng Qian asked Wang Zhi: "I just asked you to send someone to stare at Zhao's store. What's the situation?"
Of course, Wang Zhi knew what his prince was asking, and immediately replied: "We just asked someone to calculate it. So far, the store on Zhao's side has sold about 150 stones, and we are about the same, slightly more than them, and at a rate of 160 or 70, it can be seen that the county people still prefer our Marquis' Mansion."
Zheng Qian nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, then snorted coldly: "Hmph, that bias is optional. If Zhao's price is reduced again, these people will definitely be in line again... In short, let's do this first, let's see what tricks the Zhao family and his son have."
"yes."
Wang Zhi nodded.
At the same time, on the second floor of Zhao's rice shop, Zhao Yu was also instructing Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng.
"Zhang Ji, leave the matter here to Ma Cheng. Come back to Luyang with me...Ma Cheng, after I leave, you look at this shop. If the Zheng family lowers the price and forces you to keep the same price as him, and you don't need to force him too much. After all, we have insufficient grain and rice, so we will discuss it when the newly sent grain is transported."
"Yes." Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng nodded, clasping their fists to take the order.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu was taking Jingniao downstairs, but suddenly a guard came up. Zhao Yu and his friends thought something had happened, but subconsciously turned their heads to look at it, but were shocked to find that the guards who were going upstairs were Zhang Chun, the guards in the mansion.
"Uncle."
Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng immediately greeted each other, but Zhao Yu had a bad premonition at this moment.
You should know that the guard chief Zhang Chun and the great manager Cao Ju are the right-hand man of Zhao Yu's father, Luyang Township Marquis. Unlike Cao Ju, who is responsible for many housework, Zhang Chun, who is in charge of the guards in the mansion, is generally only responsible for protecting the family business of the town marquis and the town marquis' mansion, and will never stay away from the mansion at will unless...
"The village marquis is here, and I want the second young master to see him immediately." Zhang Chun said with a smile.
"Has the manager Cao exposed?"
Zhao Yu nodded embarrassedly.
Following Zhang Chun, Zhao Yu took Jingnv and Zhang Ji and the others left the back door of the shop. After turning over an alley, Zhao Yu saw a carriage at the entrance of an alley.
His father, Hou of Luyang Township, was staring at him at the car window.
Zhao Yu quickly stepped forward to salute his father: "Father."
"Get on the car." The Hou of Luyang Township ordered, as if calmly.
He took Jingniao to the carriage together. In the carriage, only his father, Hou Luyang Township, was alone. Zhao Yu sat upright in front of his father with a embarrassed expression.
At this time, the Marquis of Luyang Township looked up and down at his son and said with a little sarcastic look: "Zhu'er, didn't you say you were going to the county town? Why did you come to Ruyang?"
Zhao Yu pretended to be stupid and said, "Isn't this the child in the county town..."
Hearing this, the Marquis of Luyang Township turned his face and said angrily: "Stop talking! You are getting braver. Do you dare to do something like this? Do you still take your father seriously?"
Zhao Yu smiled and flattered, "Dad, look at what you said, I have always respected you the most. If you say one, I will never dare to say two..."
After hearing this, the Marquis of Luyang Township sneered: "You don't know how to say it, you just did it! What should I say to you? I'll make a long-term plan, and I really think that Zheng's family in Ruyang is made of mud, and you can rub it as much as you want?"
Hearing this tone, Zhao Yu guessed that his father must have understood something, so he simply stopped pretending and spread his hands and said helplessly: "Anyway, the store has been opened, and he has declared war with the Zheng family. Dad, what should you do?"
"Wow!"
The Hou of Luyang Township was so excited that he picked up the ruler he had prepared from the side, preparing to implement the family law.
As the saying goes, a filial son appears under the stick.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu's eyes opened slightly and he quickly stopped: "Dad, you can't eat anything. Have you forgotten the kindness that my child saved you that day?"
"Good love?" The Marquis of Luyang Township was both angry and funny: "You talk to me about gratitude?"
However, Zhao Yu's words made him feel a little worried.
Think about it carefully, this kid is so precious that he can't beat him. Zhou must have a fight with him. The most troublesome thing is that his father-in-law Zhou Shouzheng might immediately go to Luyang to fight him.
That old man...
The Marquis of Luyang Township was really a little ill.
If you can't fight, then... be confined?
But if you are banished and teach this kid a lesson, he might become soft-hearted when he goes to coax his mother.
The Marquis of Luyang Township spent half a stick of incense to think about how to teach his son a lesson, but as he thought about it, he suddenly realized that his father could not teach his son a lesson?
