Chapter 219, there is a cat
Originally, the large-scale and large-demand purchase and sale of grain was negotiated with the person, and the other party delivered it on time, so there was no need to come out to buy it every day.
But because these grain merchants seem to have agreed, the grain sold to Xishan Coal Industry is very small, often only enough for the day, and if it is needed the next day, it is still necessary to purchase it again.
The price is rising day by day, but the key is that you still have money and are unwilling to sell you food on a large scale, do you say you are angry?
Angry and angry, but there is still no way to make money, every day to the grain store to purchase food, although the sea fish here in Tianjin are constantly transported every day, but this food is still indispensable.
The people in Xishan Coal Industry do all manual work, and it is not enough to eat sea fish, but must be accompanied by a certain amount of rice or pasta.
In other places, it is other bosses and shopkeepers who curry favor with money and wealth, but when they come to this grain store, everything is reversed, and money and wealth must be curryed favor with these shopkeepers and bosses.
"These hateful grain merchants, if it weren't for the fish coming into Beijing, I don't know how expensive this grain would be."
Looking at the rice shops, grain stores, etc. lined up along the streets on both sides of the street, money and wealth can't help but spit on it, in this famine era, the hearts of these grain merchants are completely black.
"A pound of grain sells for 200 wen, and there is no expensive grain in the world."
Qian Youcai couldn't help but feel a pain when he thought of the price of purchasing grain, the food needed by Xishan Coal Industry is too big, although it is now a large-scale, as much as possible to use marine fish to replace food, but how to need thousands of catties of grain every day, the expenditure on purchasing food is very large.
Shaking his head slightly, Qian Youcai changed his smile and walked forward.
The streets selling grain are very deserted, and there are many people in front of every store, and now only the real rich and aristocratic families in the capital can afford to eat white noodles and rice.
For a penny and a pound of sea fish, two husbands and wives can buy a few catties of sea fish and meat for a family, which is enough for the needs of the family for a day, and no one comes here to sell two hundred catties of grain at all.
Because there are too few people, the shopkeeper and Xiao Er in each grain store are idle, so they are all looking at the street outside in a daze, always keeping the guests on the street to see how much grain other grain stores sell.
Qian Youcai is an old acquaintance here, because he cries for a large amount of food almost every day, and he has to purchase thousands of catties of rice every day, and he can be regarded as a big customer.
So as soon as Qian Youcai appeared, the little two of the rice stores also immediately hurriedly reported to their shopkeepers and bosses, and soon, when Qian Youcai had just walked into the street, the bosses and shopkeepers of the grain stores immediately ran up diligently.
"Boss Money, Boss Money~"
"Old money, old money~"
Qian Youcai was taken aback by the enthusiasm of these shopkeepers and bosses, in the past, he ignored himself, but now he immediately changed his attitude.
"Boss Qian, I have a new batch of high-quality Suzhou rice here, the price is easy to discuss, there is no problem with how much you need to purchase."
The shopkeeper of Sun's rice shop ran the fastest, of course, this Sun's rice shop is also at the entrance of the street, the closest, so he also grabbed the money and went to his own store.
At the same time, the little two people of Sun's rice shop also joined forces to pull the other shopkeepers, and while holding them, they also said: "First come, first come, first come, first come~"
When the other shopkeepers and bosses saw it, they couldn't help but stomp their feet, this rule still had to be observed, and they could only watch Qian Youcai being pulled into his store by the shopkeeper of Sun's rice shop.
In Sun's rice shop, the shopkeeper pulled Qian Youcai to sit down in the side room and served the best fragrant tea.
Qian Youcai is still stunned until now, and he wonders if he has gone to the wrong place, if he is in another place, these bosses and shopkeepers are so enthusiastic, he is not surprised at all, but this is a place to sell grain, in this famine era, which of these grain merchants is not nostrils to the sky, cow~
After the shopkeeper of Sun's rice shop pulled Qian Youcai and exchanged pleasantries, he also talked about business.
"Shopkeeper Sun, how much is the grain sold for today?"
Qian Youcai drank the fragrant tea served by the shopkeeper Sun, and the good Longjing before the rain, he couldn't even drink the tea when he came before, and now the treatment really made him feel a little flattered.
"Boss Qian, we are also old acquaintances, your Xishan Coal Industry has not purchased grain from me once or twice, today it is only one hundred and ten yuan a catty, and there is no problem with how much you want to purchase."
Shopkeeper Sun looked at Qian Youcai and said very seriously.
"One hundred and ten pounds?"
When Qian Youcai heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, this price has fallen by 20 wen a pound compared to yesterday, and there is a lot of silver left in a day, and more importantly, this time he did not limit his purchase.
However, Qian Youcai's eyes rolled, and he always felt that something was wrong, and when he thought about it carefully, he always felt that the performance of these grain merchants today was really surprising, as if there had been a 100-degree turn.
In the past, there was no room for negotiation on the price, whether you like to buy or not, and the amount of purchase was strictly limited, and you could only purchase the amount of the day in a day, which would not let you buy more at all, but now there is no limit.
"There must be something greasy in this~"
After a long period of business, I still have a sense of smell of money and wealth.
So after thinking about it, Qian Youcai also said: "Shopkeeper Sun, can this price be cheaper, you also know that the quantity I bought at one time is very large." ”
"Boss Qian, you also know that it is a famine era, and this grain is fate, and I can't hide it from me, because a new batch of rice from Jiangnan has recently arrived, and there are enough goods in my hands, so I am willing to sell it to you at a reduced price, and there is no limit to your quantity."
"It can be said that if you go to other grain stores other than me, the price will definitely not be discounted, and it will definitely limit the number of purchases you can make."
When Shopkeeper Sun heard this, he said with a slight sigh.
Then the conversation changed, and he said: "But we are also old friends, in the past, the rice of your Xishan Coal Industry was also purchased by me here, for the sake of old friends, one hundred and seventy wen a catty, no matter how low it is, I really have no choice." ”
As soon as Qian Youcai heard it, the other party said a lot of nonsense in front of him, which was used to confuse people, and he was really willing to reduce the price later, which showed that there was definitely something greasy in it.
