Feeling a little irritated, Ouyang turned to look at Shen He.

"Can you go for a walk with me?"

"good."

Shen He said as he pushed the wheelchair out of the study.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Just take a walk outside, uh... go to school."

I didn't think about going anywhere at first, I just wanted to walk around casually, mainly to change my mood and not pick any place.

But suddenly I remembered that I hadn’t properly communicated with Yan Fei about school matters. I had sent some notes to each other before, and I don’t know how it went.

This is related to the future planning. It is not good to be a completely hands-off shopkeeper, so I changed my mind and went there to have a look.

At the same time, I laughed at myself, thinking that after becoming Tianshu, I might not have much private time.

Rights mean obligations...

Out the door, heading towards the school.

The sky is just right today, and it is already October. According to the experience of the previous life, it is the season of winter that is about to begin, but there is not a trace of coolness in Liyue Harbor.

Strangely enough, I don't know if it's a characteristic of Teyvat or for other reasons. Liyue Port can hardly feel the changes of the four seasons throughout the year, and the same is true for Qingce Village.

Along the way, seeing Yujing Terrace empty of people as always, Ouyang asked casually: "Shen He, is there snow in Aozang Mountain?"

"Minlin boundaries occasionally appear, but even if they do, they will disappear the next day."

"It's such a pity that Liyue is so big that we can't even have a snowball fight."

"what is that?"

"Nothing, a little game that can only be played in the snow."

Originally, Ouyang wanted to explain, but suddenly he remembered some things from his past life, which made his mood even worse, so he obviously heard Shen He's curiosity, but he still chose to end the topic.

Without Lin Zi Jue, Ouyang must always be vigilant about his emotions, otherwise those negative emotions will always pop up from time to time.

It is common for ordinary people to have various emotions and lose control of their emotions occasionally.

But Ouyang understands what kind of moral person he is. If he is not controlled, he will easily be disturbed by his emotions when making decisions.

Originally, when I was guarding your family, I couldn't act too arbitrarily, let alone now that I'm the lord of heaven.

One wrong decision will cause a disaster that Ouyang does not want to see.

He knows the essence of the problem, which is the sense of loss of power.

There is also the desire for power that comes from suddenly rising to a higher position and gaining authority, and that unreal sense of dislocation of "who else in the world would be better than me?"

But people are just so weird. They know where the problem is, but they can't solve it for a while.

He looked up at the sun in the sky and tightened his hands in his sleeves.

It should take a few more years... I'll just get used to it...

Ouyang knew in his heart that this state would last for a long time, so he still had a long way to "reconcile" with himself.

Eat at Huyan, in a small restaurant.

Mao Shi, the owner of this small restaurant, did not greet the diners coming and going today. Instead, he stood at the door abnormally, looking in the direction of the school on the other side in a daze.

Many diners who noticed this were a little curious.

This is so unlike the other person's character.

A familiar diner came to him curiously and joked.

"Hey, Boss Mao, have you changed your gender today? Why don't you ask for business?"

Hearing the voice, Mao Shi frowned and looked at the visitor. Seeing that he was familiar, the frown between his brows faded a little, but the sad look was still on his face. He didn't even have a smile when facing the guest.

"Oh, it's you. Isn't there someone in the store to greet you? I'm thinking about something."

"What are you thinking about with such a sad face? That you don't care about your business anymore? This isn't like your style?"

"Hey, please stop teasing me. I'm thinking about giving it a try."

"What's wrong?"

As if he finally found someone to talk to, Mao Shi started to talk with a grimace as if he was pouring beans.

"Do you know about the Strata Abyss? Then yesterday, a lot of ore merchants couldn't receive their goods. I heard some customers in my store saying that this time things are a bit big, and the ore prices have increased so much.

Maybe the prices of other commodities in Liyue Port will also skyrocket.

This was nothing at first. There were tens of thousands more mouths in the school in the past two days, and they didn't pay attention to the food prices here, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

But before I went to bed last night, I suddenly remembered that the Qianyan Army passed by Chihuyan every day these days, transporting a lot of supplies towards the Lisha suburb. This is what I saw with my own eyes. Many of them were vegetables and grains. That long

The queue seemed to be endless. So I was thinking, will prices really go up? I'm not sure."

After finishing a long series of words, Mao Shi looked at the visitor, as if he wanted to seek some advice, and looked at the other person expectantly.

"Now I'm thinking about stocking up on some food in advance. If there is a shortage of supplies and the price rises, my small business will go bankrupt. But I'm afraid that if I stock up too much, I won't be able to eat it all here.

Even if it breaks, it won’t work. Even if the price doesn’t increase, wouldn’t it be worth the loss? So I’m worried!”

After listening patiently to the end, the visitor unceremoniously pointed out some of Mao Shi's hidden thoughts.

"Haha, Boss Mao, do you still want to stock up on vegetables and wait for the prices to increase to sell them and make a profit? You are not being kind!"

"Oh, this, isn't this just a matter of convenience? How can you say it's unkind!"

After being exposed ruthlessly, Mao Shi didn't have enough confidence to speak, but he knew that the other party worked on the dock all year round. Although he was an ordinary person, he had much better information than him.

Therefore, he was not worried and looked at the other person and continued to ask: "Old Chen, tell me, should I stock up on some of this?"

"Whether you like to stock up or not, I'm just reminding you that it's okay to prepare some appropriately. If you have too much, I'm afraid you'll jump into the sea tomorrow."

"Oh? What should I say? What news do you have?"

Mao Shi looked at Lao Chen eagerly, and when he saw that he didn't answer, he immediately said with understanding.

"Okay, Lao Chen, tell me, I'll treat you to this meal today!"

When the dock worker named Lao Chen saw that the fire was almost done, he didn't show off. He patted Mao Shi on the shoulder and whispered.

"I'm not lying to you. There is no exact information, but there is one thing that most people in Liyue Port didn't pay attention to. That is, while the people from Huishan Hall were buying all kinds of ores a few days ago, Yinyuan Hall

The people also quietly collected a lot of goods from foreign merchants and fishermen at the dock, including vegetables and fruits. Do you understand?"

"Uh... I don't understand."

"You're so smart that you still want to imitate others in buying low and selling high?"

Looking at Mao Shi who was just looking at him blankly, Lao Chen continued angrily.

"Do you know the news about the foreign businessmen in the General Affairs Department queuing up to buy ore today? The price of ore on the market has not risen anymore, and according to the news, it will fall. So how can you guarantee that other supplies such as food will be available during this period?

, will the General Affairs Department do the same?"

After saying this, Mao Shi finally came to his senses.

Yes, it can be seen from the ore matter that Qixing has made preparations this time. If he does not keep it all, if he really hoards it, he will most likely lose everything!

Then I really want to jump into the sea!

In view of the good reputation Qixing has always had, Mao Shi quite believed in this guess.

Therefore, he stopped worrying about those periods and thanked Lao Chen.

"Hey! I have to thank you very much, brother. Lao Chen, come on, let me buy you a drink!"

"It's okay to have a meal, let's have a drink next time. There's still work to do on the dock in the afternoon."

The two of them walked towards the restaurant. Faced with Mao Shi's enthusiasm, Lao Chen refused at first, and then said: "Boss Mao, I can see it. Just keep your business as big as your restaurant and run it well. Don't go."

Think about those crooked ways. I think about what happened this time, only the biggest businessmen in Liyue Port can make some gains from Qixing. We ordinary people can just live our lives well."

"Yes, you're right! Let's eat, right? I'll add an extra dish for you! Let's go!" Guwai

An incident between ordinary people ended, Lao Chen got a free lunch with an uncertain guess, and Mao Shi eliminated his worries through Lao Chen's advice.

Everyone is happy.

Also in a good mood was Mao Caigong who lived on Yujingtai.

He had smelled a different smell a few days ago when people from Huishan Hall came to collect ore.

So he was cautious at that time and did not sell all the ore in stock to the Huishan Hall people, but only sold a small part to give Huishan Hall face.

All the remaining ore is stored in the warehouse untouched.

At the same time, he sent his servants around to find out the news.

When he learned that people from Huishan Hall were buying up ore in Liyue Port, Mao Caigong acted decisively and bought the ore from other merchants at a high price before the ore was sold out in the market.

The premium is not much, only 40% higher than the market price.

And when the news about the Strata Rock Abyss spread, he sat happily in Heyu Teahouse for the whole day. He was in a good mood and even rewarded the tea doctor with a reward of 50,000 molas.
