Chapter 275: When has Wang Laoer ever been praised like this?
Since they were sold at the original price, they were very affordable, and they were all fresh fruits and vegetables. Although everyone was suspicious, they didn't care about that because of the difficulties ahead.
As more and more people came to buy grain at the original price, Wang Laoer's business expanded from the top of the city to the back.
The villagers who usually had nothing good to say about him were now extremely grateful and appreciative of him.
"Second Master, you are simply a living Bodhisattva. In the face of this natural disaster, you are thinking about the people. Merchants like you deserve to have a lot of money in the future!"
"Yes, Second Master, we will all remember your kindness today! Thank you, Second Master, thank you very much!"
When has Wang Lao Er ever been praised like this?
He used to be disdainful, but after being truly held in the palm of someone's hand, he suddenly felt extremely proud, and his heart was about to swell.
I wanted to walk sideways.
The more others flattered him, the more excited he became. Whenever he saw anyone treating the people who came to buy grain badly, he would kick them.
"I'm selling something, and you're acting like an official?! They're here to buy our food. They're our bread and butter! Be polite to me!"
But he always remembered what Junlan said, that customers are God, and only by serving the people can their business last longer and have fewer troubles.
Facts have proved that since doing business with Junlan, there are indeed fewer worries than before.
And now everyone respectfully calls him a living Bodhisattva. If my uncle knew about this, he would definitely praise him.
Now he sells even more enthusiastically.
All the grain in the granary was sold within two days.
However, when he was about to go and tell Junlan the good news with a smile, the steward of the mansion came running over hurriedly, shouting at him, blocking his way.
"Master, Master, something terrible has happened!!!"
Wang Lao Er, who was in a good mood, frowned, pulled aside the carriage curtain, and said unhappily, "What's the commotion? You've ruined my good mood, but you're the only one who's asking!"
"Master! There's a fire in our house! I don't know which damn bastard burned down our entire Wang family!"
"What?!"
Wang Laoer could no longer sit still. He immediately asked the coachman to turn around as if his butt was on fire.
When they returned to the palace, there was chaos outside.
The fire was burning fiercely, and even though all the servants and city inspectors came to put out the fire, it was of no avail.
Thick smoke billowed out, and the magnificent palace was in ruins.
He slapped his thigh and cried anxiously, "Hurry up and find more people to help! Don't just stand there and do nothing! Hurry and find some help!!"
He put so much effort into building this mansion, but now it’s destroyed by fire.
His eyes were red, and he pointed at the sky and shouted angrily, "I must find that bastard and I will not let him go!!"
At the same time, my aunt, who was busy in the pharmacy, also heard the news.
It happened that Ruan Mian came to the pharmacy to buy more herbs, and smiled when he saw his aunt.
"I had expected those unscrupulous businessmen wouldn't let this go. Wang Lao Er is blocking their way, so how could they let him go so easily?"
"But it has nothing to do with us. Wang Laoer is the city lord's nephew. If he suffers such a disaster, his vengeful character will definitely lead him to investigate to the end."
"Mianmian, then we can just sit back and watch those profiteers and Wang Laoer burn! We can continue to sell grain to more places under the name of the Wang family."
"This way, there will be no food shortages, the people will be safe, and our other businesses will run smoothly."
"When the time comes, we'll promote our thermal gear, and Lady Shop will definitely see huge sales!"
Actually, they have money.
But the purpose of doing business is not just to make money.
Only by mastering the economy, which is the lifeline, can we develop various undertakings in the future.
Especially in Dajing, once the sunroom is built, her first goal is to go to Runing.
"What are you doing in Runing?"
The aunt asked curiously.
Ruan Mian told her: "Go and drag a man named Wen Yuan into the water."
She will be like a colony of bacteria, slowly eating away the decaying food on its way to growth.
Wen Yuan turned out to be a pawn used by the Fifth Princess and her gang to amass wealth. She was going to swallow up all the businesses behind them and completely cut off their path.
After hearing the news, my aunt suddenly became motivated!
"Crack down on corrupt officials! I love it! Take me with you, and let's turn the Ru Ning Wen Mansion upside down! And empty out his warehouse! He won't even have a sack left!"
Ruan Mian was amused and nodded immediately, suddenly feeling ambitious.
"Since Aunt has such a great intention, how about we do something big?"
"Big? Is there anything bigger than this?"
"Of course!"
Ruan Mian leaned over to her aunt's ear and whispered something.
On the other side, the fire in the Wang family mansion had been extinguished, but the mansion had become a pile of ruins.
Wang Laoer ran to the City Lord's Mansion in anger and anxiety and cried.
"Uncle, uncle! You have to make the decision for me!"
Seeing him coming over crying, the city lord's face darkened: "You're in your forties, and you're still as unstable as a child!"
"Uncle! My nephew is so wronged. I don't know which bastard burned down my mansion! It must be those jealous people who think I'm blocking their way to wealth. Just because I sold some grain at a fair price! They are so bold that they bully me! Today I must..."
"Are you selling the affordable grain in the city?"
When the city lord heard this, he looked at his nephew in disbelief.
What had happened to him? How could he, with his evil heart, sell grain at a fair price?
Wang Laoer said this with great pride.
"That's me, uncle."
"You? Where did you get so much food?!"
"Isn't it Junlan who's amazing? Her niece, Madam Ruan, the one who taught us how to grow ginseng, said they've grown crops in Wuheng. Perhaps Wuheng doesn't have the cold weather like ours, so they can grow crops."
The city lord frowned, feeling that something was not right.
But looking at it from another perspective, this is also a good thing for him!
"Don't go looking for the people who burned your mansion. Just let them do it to you. I, your uncle, will naturally go to the prince to ask for an explanation for you."
"Ah? Uncle, I'm not the type to let anyone bully me!!"
"The more you are deceived, the more the prince will believe you are innocent. To be honest, the prince even summoned me to my palace to praise me for the affordable grain issue. Now that you are the one selling it, the prince will only trust me even more."
"Will our Wang family now have someone to rely on? Why are you still worried about those people persecuting you?"
Wang Laoer never expected that he would gain the prince's trust by accident.
In a moment of joy, he attributed all the credit to Junlan.
