"Walk."

Wang Xiao took a photo of Huo Qubing who was eating candy and said, "Go in and take a look."

The storefront of the grain shop is very large, and there are a lot of customers coming in and out.

However, most people use cloth bags to buy food. Some buy one bag, but most buy half a bag or even one-third.

"You still have to work hard."

Seeing those people wearing patched clothes and buying food only at 10 or 20 kilograms, Wang Xiao felt deeply that he had a heavy responsibility.

There is no need to worry about fighting the Huns, opening the Western Regions, sweeping across Europe, or anything else. The most urgent thing is to let the people of your family eat and wear warmth first.

The grain output and mulberry and hemp output in the Dahan have increased significantly in recent years.

The main reason is that Wang Xiao’s large-scale production of iron farm tools, as well as new planting and composting methods.

However, as I saw with my own eyes, the living standards of the people are still not very high.

When I was in the butcher shop before, there were very few customers, and there were almost no ordinary people dressed in ordinary clothes.

How much meat can the people eat in daily life is the most intuitive manifestation of their living standards.

"How many people are here to buy food?"

When you walk into the store, you will naturally be welcomed. It is almost impossible for people to look down on others to appear in ancient shops.

The reason is very simple. These shops are all individual shops. Telling away a customer is equivalent to missing a business. The only one who is unlucky is themselves.

So no matter what kind of store you are, unless you only accept female customers and refuse male customers to enter, as long as you go in, you will not be driven away no matter what you wear.

Extras for professional beggars.

"That's what you said." Wang Xiao looked around with a funny look. "You are a grain shop here. If you don't come to buy food, are you here to go to the toilet?"

Wang Xiao's words were vulgar, and everyone around him glared at him in dissatisfaction.

The attendants around Wang Xiao stared back without showing any weakness.

The people of the Han Dynasty were so simple. They immediately rolled up their sleeves and came up to have a good exchange.

"Everyone, everyone is busy with their own affairs."

The grain shop people naturally hurriedly persuaded them that this place was their store. If they fought here, they would be the one who was unlucky.

After appeaseing the customers in the store, the grain shop owner hurried to Wang Xiao, "This noble man, please sit in there."

"I dare to ask the noble person, what's wrong with coming to the store?"

After sitting down in the inner room, having dried fruits and tea, the shop owner, who was about the shopkeeper, came out to receive it in person.

Wang Xiao picked up the tea and took a sip. Instead, he asked, "Do you also use hot water to make tea?"

The shop owner smiled and said, "This is the method of drinking tea from the palace. It is said that it was created by the emperor, so everyone naturally has to learn from the emperor."

The tea culture in China is so long that even when it comes to making tea and serving tea, there are special utensils, and there are strict operating procedures.

They regarded drinking tea as a noble activity.

Before, the procedures for drinking tea were very complicated, but for details, you can refer to the steps of the Japanese in the modern world. In addition, various strange things will be added to the tea.

From shredded ginger to scallions, from salted salt to honey, it can be said that there are only ones you would never imagine, and no tea drinkers dare not put them.

Wang Xiao simply changed such tea after drinking it once.

That is to stir-fry the tea first, then brew it directly in hot water.

Due to the advancement of technology, it became possible to stir-fry tea after the appearance of iron pots.

After the trade with the Huns began, because the tea is of high value, it can exchange cattle, sheep and horses from the Huns, so the merchants who do the Huns began to purchase tea crazily, which immediately caused the tea planting area and yield of the Han Dynasty to increase wildly. This is what

The real economy determines what farmers plant.

Moreover, because Wang Xiao likes to drink tea, the nobles who follow the footsteps of the emperor naturally follow suit and they drink it with them.

In the Han Dynasty, the emperor was the source of fashion, and the nobles and princes were the main body of fashion.

When they are all drinking new-style tea, the people naturally follow closely and follow suit.

Wang Xiao put down the teacup and said, "How do you sell food here?"

The shop owner said with a kind smile, "This noble man, you are not here to buy food, are you?"

When Wang Xiao wanted to say, 'You are a grain shop, I'm not here to buy food, I can do anything else.', Huo Qubing over there was already surprised and said, "How do you know?"

OK, Tong Yanwuji told the truth.

The store owner smiled more and more intimately, and he picked up the plate containing dried fruit and handed it to Huo Qubing.

But Huo Qubing didn't even look at the dried fruits, and walked proudly to Wang Xiao and stood there.

"Several people are dressed well, but they are not rich." The shop owner was not upset and explained seriously, "Most of those who buy grain from the small shop are the homes of the people. Even if the wealthy family comes to buy grain, it is still the servants and housekeepers. It is definitely not the head of the family who comes in person."

The wealthy family of the Han Dynasty either served as officials in the court, and when they were paid their salary, they were basically half the food and half the money.

The salary is actually very high, and it can be hundreds or thousands of stones at any time. It is enough to feed the family. Basically, there is no need to buy grain from the grain shop.

Another thing is that the nobles basically have their own fiefdoms, and the output from the fiefdom is more than enough to feed the whole family.

Even wealthy merchants usually try their best to buy land and hire people to farm, so they naturally don’t need to buy grain.

Those who really need to go to the grain shop to buy food are basically ordinary people in the true sense.

"You guy."

Wang Xiao reached out and pointed at the store owner, "It's a slippery head."

When he waved his hand to stop the store owner, Wang Xiao said directly, "Does there be someone named Yi Zong in your store?"

The shop owner was stunned and hurriedly responded, "Yes."

"Call him over."

While the store was still hesitating, Huo Qubing said impatiently, "Didn't you hear it? Hurry up."

Although he is just a child, the superior's demeanor cannot be pretended. The store owner had no choice but to hurry to find Lai Yi Zong.

The young Yi Zong followed the shop into the room, and the first thing he saw was his sister Yi Bao standing behind Wang Xiao.

Looking at Yi Bao who nodded with a smile, Yi Zong instantly understood in his heart.

He hurriedly stepped forward two steps and gave a big gift to Wang Xiao, the only person sitting behind the desk in the room, "Just, pay homage to the emperor."

With a thud, the shop next to him was even more straightforward than he did.

The shop owner had guessed that Wang Xiao had an extraordinary origin, but he never thought that it was the emperor of the Han Dynasty who came in person.

The frightened in my heart is really extraordinary.

As for the saying that even if Yi even calls the wrong person, it doesn’t exist. This is not something that can be shouted casually. If you call the wrong person, you will lose your head.

Wang Xiao looked at the famous cruel official, "You didn't tell the people here, your sister has entered the Weiyang Palace?"

"No."

Wang Xiao asked him in confusion, "Why don't you say it?"

In this era, everyone is proud of their relatives because they can reach the sky in one step.

Like Tian Fu, he wanted to engrave the big words "I am a relative" on his forehead.

Yi Zong is like this, not to mention asking his sister to help him get a title or arrange a beautiful girl. At least he has to be arrogant in this Fengyuan Grain Store.

But today I came to see what I saw, and I didn’t say anything about it.

Yi Zong looked up at Wang Xiao, then leaned over again, "Sister, don't let me say it."

"I asked, why."

"Because your grace comes from the Lord, you naturally dare not say it before your Majesty."

"Yes, I've also read books." Wang Xiao smiled, and then his face turned "I heard that you have been a thief before?"

Now the Yifu behind him hurriedly saluted, afraid that Wang Xiao would hand over Yi Zong to the Tingwei Yamen.

In the great man, being a thief would have to cut off his head.

Yi Zong gritted his teeth and stammered his neck and said, "Do it."

Now even the shop owner next to him began to tremble, afraid that this kid would implicate him.

"Have you ever killed and injured people?"

"Just seeking wealth and never hurt people's lives."

"Why do you want to be a thief?"

Yi Zong glanced at his sister and then began to say, "My family was in Hedong County back then."

The story is not very long, but the most typical life in the family is not bad, but unfortunately, he was colluded with an official to seize the property by a bully. After his parents were forced to death, Yi Zong fell into trouble for the bandits and so on.

Behind it was Yi Mei who came to Chang'an City, and Yi Zong followed his sister, mainly to protect his sister.

Later, because I had studied, I found a job at Fengyuan Grain Shop.
