Chapter one hundred and eighty-eight, salt price hike

Idle to teahouse, Bai Yan is in the room accounts, today just the end of the month, she has a lot of accounts to see.

There was a knock at the door of the room.

"enter. " The white purples head also does not lift of openings way.

Lotus son came in, "husband, no, childe, the manager of three stores all came to look for you. "

"Let them in, " she said

The three stewards were uncle Wang of the smiling face restaurant, Uncle Li of the Wu Fang Zhai, and Zhang Bo of the teahouse.

"shopkeeper, these are the accounts of our three stores. Please have a look. "

Wang Bo said then put a thick stack of books on the book case.

"Well, I'll look at it. Tell me about the situation in the shop recently. " She began.

Every month at the end of the month in addition to check the account books of three stores, three stores will let the manager of the store this month encountered things roughly reported.

The Wang Bo of smiling face wine shop makes a voice first, said a matter of great urgency at present.

"recently, the price of table salt in the capital has gone up a lot. This month, most of our restaurant's expenditure is on the purchase of table salt. If this continues, we may have to consider raising the price of our menu. "

Who knows uncle Wang said, uncle Li and Zhang Bo also immediately followed the mouth.

"It is not only the smiling face restaurant, but also our Wufangzhai. "

"Yes, shopkeepers, the price of salt has gone up recently, and it seems to be getting more expensive... "

See the three shop stewards mentioned the price of salt are a sad look, the White Yan also turned over their accounts, see as they said, salt spending than last month a lot more.

The White Yan frowns, "what does the capital city have recently regarding the salt wind sound? "

Although table salt seems to be common, but the price of salt once the slightest increase is directly related to the business of restaurants, because the daily consumption of salt, in the price of salt a little bit will affect the monthly income of restaurants.

"shopkeeper, from a year ago the price of salt in the capital has already started to rise, in recent months is even more aggravated... " Wang Boyi face of depression.

"Yes yes yes, a year ago a stone salt on 20, now a stone salt has half Guan copper money. " Li Shu said.

A copper coin was always a thousand, but now a stone of salt is five hundred.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? "

In all her time in Kyǒngsǒng, she had never heard that table salt was so expensive!

Uncle Wang wry smile, "the shopkeeper, you do not know. "

"What's the matter? " She asked.

"In the past, we bought official salt. Official salt was sold by the government, and the price was quite affordable. But since Chen Xingwen took office as the capital's salt envoy, the amount of official salt that could be sold has become less and less. Ordinary people can only buy private salt. "

Uncle Wang said, and Uncle Li went on.

"Yes, and it's getting more expensive every day, but you can't do without it. It's a bit expensive, but everyone has to buy it. "

"I don't know how it happened this month. Even illicit salt is not available, so the salt merchants are frying more and more of the salt that they can buy. Now, people living in a little bit of poverty don't have salt, " Zhang Bo said, he sighed.

Bai Yan did not think there was such a thing, it seems that her news in the capital is not very circulating ah...

"although the price of salt is high, because the store is doing well, naturally it is not a problem. Familiar salt merchants are willing to take care of us. But somehow this month, they have stopped selling salt. "

This is the real reason why the three of them gathered in the teahouse today.

When she heard this, she couldn't sit still.

"No salt for us? What's going on? "

The three housekeepers all shook their heads, and then uncle Wang sighed. "The smiling face restaurant buys more salt every month than the other two stores, so I heard a little bit of news from the familiar salt merchants... " uncle Wang hesitated to speak.

"What reason is quick to say? " The White Yan asks a way, the eyes concealed to take a bit anxious and angry.

She ran a restaurant, no matter what needs salt, if there is no salt, her business will continue to do?

"I've heard that someone above has specifically ordered that as long as the shopkeeper's shop in your name comes to buy salt, they will not be allowed to sell it to us. "

After saying that, Wang uncle also carefully looked at one eye white Yan, "the shopkeeper, recently did not offend some people? "

They probably know that their shopkeeper, Bai Yan, has recently become the general's wife. Have they offended some people in court?

When she heard Uncle Wang's words, she didn't know who he was referring to. Suddenly she felt a little headache.

"How long will the salt in the shop last? "

They were, after all, in business, and they would certainly stock up on supplies, and they would certainly stock up on salt.

"shopkeeper, up to a month. " Wang Bo said.

One month, Bai Yan had to solve the problem of salt in one month.

"Yes, I know. I'll take care of it. "

Three stewards after leaving, Lotus son see white purples face is not very good, worried inquiry way, "madam is all right? "

Now she and her wife were the only ones in the room, and lian-er did not have to weigh herself.

"All right, we go back early. " The White Yan kneaded to Knead Eyebrow Center Way.

The Lotus son is sorrowful nods, "good, Lotus son this lets red autumn go to prepare a carriage. "

The White Yan returns to the Xiao Mansion, now this courtyard or Lu Mingyi rents to them that, but in a few days they will move to the general mansion that Xiao Jingdi gives to Xiao Feng.

Add the thing of the day, a time a lot of kinds of mood all gush up the heart of White Yan, feel to be bored immediately.

Just returned to the house, Xiao Yue also returned from the next school.

"sister-in-law, the moon children today learned a new article! " Because today the husband Son taught a new article and very excited Xiao Yue returned to the house, immediately find Bai Yan to share.

The White Yan tidies up the mood on the face, smiling of looking at Xiao Yue way, "that month month month after supper read to sister-in-law listen to good? "

Xiao Yue a small face because of excitement and red, "well, after dinner to read to sister-in-law to listen! "

Now Xiao Yue is a bit impatient to finish dinner, and even asked several times when you can eat dinner.

The White Yan is funny way, "want to wait for elder brother to come back, just can start a meal! "

Xiao Feng came back a little late today, probably because of something.

"really hope the elder brother comes back early every day... " Xiao Yue small mouth toot, seem to have a little dissatisfaction.

"Yueyue, my brother is a different person now. Can we understand him? "

She never hid anything from Xiao Yue because of her age. In fact, after Xiao Feng took over, she told Xiao Yue about the change of Xiao Feng's identity.

Although Xiao Yue did not understand at that time, but after a few days to see Xiao Feng wearing the appearance of back, suddenly understood this change.

For it was evident that the ladies of the family who had attended the school together seemed to be beginning to look at her kindly, and even to speak to her.

Xiao Yue is not stupid, she is also very clever, naturally know their attitude change means what.

Do not know why, Xiao Yue did not feel very happy about this, clearly her friend became many, but she felt that she had lost something.
