Chapter 31 Buying Food
Chaoxian looked a little prosperous under the sunshine, and the corners of Jia Nian's mouth couldn't help but curl up when he looked at the news in front of him.
"You complete a transaction and get 1 gold and 29 taels"
A servant took the tax money handed over by Jia Nian, and then turned to leave.
Looking at the departing officials, Jia Nian wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and his eyes fell on Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze on the side: "Let's go, let's go to this market."
"Haole," Sun Deqiu said to Jia Nian.
Early this morning, I hurriedly went to the county market to sell fish, and by the way, I asked Guo Dapang to take the two brothers Tang Gaoming to inquire about Liu Ye's news in Chao County.
He brought Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze to sell.
In the future, it may be much better to recruit a merchant to specialize in selling fish. After all, with the development of Changhe Village, I don't have so much time to come to the county seat.
Build buildings, arrange fishing, and send militia to kill water thieves. None of these things don't take time and effort. Unless you turn Liu Ye and Lu Su over, don't think about wandering around in the future.
While thinking wildly, he slowly wandered around. There were 71 taels in his hand, and now he has added 1 gold and 29 taels for selling fish, which is a huge amount of two gold. It's just that these 1 gold and 29 taels still need to be distributed to Sun De and beg them for half.
Even if you don't give half of it, 15 taels per household will be given, which means that you need to give them 60 taels, and there are 69 taels left.
Jia Nian quickly calculated, and came up with the specific amount he could use in his mind, 1 gold and 11 taels.
In any case, this is also a huge amount of money, and you can spend it well.
Just as he was thinking about it, a rice shop appeared in front of him, and Xiao Er was courteously greeting guests coming and going.
The footsteps stopped, and his eyes kept staring at this rice shop. With the growth of the population of Changhe Village, the demand for food has also increased a lot.
Just last night, Tang Xingfan and the others complained to themselves. How should these two extra families be arranged?
The fields are green and yellow, and it will take months before the harvest is made, so you can't eat fish all the time.
"Guest, are you here to buy rice?" Seeing Jia Nian and his entourage standing here, Xiao Er greeted him attentively.
Jia Nian nodded at Xiao Er and asked, "What kind of rice do you sell here?" ”
"We have millet and millet here, as well as barley and grain," Xiao Er said to Jia Nian.
Listening to Xiao Er's introduction, Jia Nian thought for a moment and continued to ask: "What are these prices?"
"400 yuan for a piece of rice, 300 yuan for a piece of millet rice, 220 yuan for a piece of corn, 220 yuan for a piece of barley, and 220 yuan for a grain meal" Xiao Er said to Jia Nian quickly.
After speaking, he asked Jia Nian: "I don't know what kind of rice the guest officer needs."
Hearing Xiao Er's series of offers, Jia Nian smacked his tongue in his heart, he couldn't imagine that food was so expensive. The so-called Yihu is an adult who uses the amount for a month.
Changhe Village now has 22 people, which means that it takes 22 Hu a month.
However, it seems that they don't need to pay for this food, after all, they all have wages.
Well, the income from fishing and selling fish is considered a salary.
"Yes, this is the income from selling fish" Jia Nian said to Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze, and stretched out his hand and took out two fifteen taels.
Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze did not postpone it, after all, these were said in advance, so they put it away with a smile.
Maybe it was because he had money in his hand, Sun Deqiu was relieved, and his voice was raised a little: "Bring me 5 husks of corn."
"Bring me 5 corn too," Gu Enze said loudly to Xiao Er.
Xiao Er heard the words of the two, as if he had heard a pleasant fairy sound, and said with a smile at them: "A total of 10 hundreds, do you two get them back by yourself, or will the store hire a carriage to transport them back."
"You must have shipped it back to us," Sun Deqiu said to Xiao Er.
Xiao Er looked at Sun Deqiu: "Where does the guest officer live?" The villain calculates the distance so that he can charge for transportation."
"Changhe Village" Gu Enze took Sun Deqiu's words and replied to Xiao Er.
Xiao Er quickly calculated in his heart, and said to Jia Nian and the three of them: "Ten corn has a total of 2,200 yuan, which is 22 taels. In addition to the shipping cost of 10 taels, a total of 32 taels"
"Ten taels? Why are shipping costs so expensive? Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze let out an exclamation at the same time, asking Xiao Er.
Xiao Er showed a look of embarrassment: "Changhe Village is against Chaohu Lake, which is a place where water thieves are rampant. Not only do we have to hire wagons, but we also need to hire guards to protect the food."
"For our store, not only did we not make a profit, but we lost money," Xiao Er explained to the two.
Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze glanced at each other at the same time, and said to Xiao Er: "Can it be cheaper by 200 yuan?"
"Guest officer, you can go and inquire, not to mention our Chao County, even the entire Lujiang County does not have such a low price" Xiao Er said loudly to Gu Enze and the two.
Listening to Xiao Er's words, the two of them showed embarrassed looks. After all, the money in his hand only adds up to 30 taels, and he can't afford to pay this expensive fee at all.
I thought I had a huge sum of money in my hand, but now it seems that I don't spend it.
"How much grain can a carriage transport," Jia Nian asked Xiao Er.
Hearing Jia Nian's inquiry, Xiao Er replied quickly: "A carriage can consign 20 pieces of corn."
"That's 4,400 money," Jia Nian asked Xiao Er.
Xiao Er nodded at Jia Nian: "If you go back to the guest officer, it's exactly this price."
"Then you are adding 10 hui of corn, a total of 20 hu, and send it to Changhe Village," Jia Nian said to Xiao Er.
Hearing the words 20 Hu, Xiao Er almost laughed happily. Chaoxian County was originally a place with fertile water and soil, and few people bought twenty Hu in one go.
quickly calculated in his heart, and said to Jia Nian: "With the transportation costs, it is a total of 5,400 yuan."
"I'll pay twenty taels, and one of you will pay fifteen taels," Jia Nian said to Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze.
The two laughed at the same time: "We listen to the village chief"
After speaking, they came out of their respective money and handed it to Xiao Er.
Jia Nian also took out twenty taels and handed them to Xiao Er: "I hope you can deliver it as soon as possible, by the way, please send the flat dan and fish basket to Changhe Village."
"No problem, our store guarantees that it will be delivered by the afternoon at the latest" Xiao Er replied to Jia Nian, and took the flat pole and fish basket in the hands of Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze. Then he turned around and walked to the store to arrange the delivery.
Looking at Xiao Er's departing figure, a warmth rose in the hearts of Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze.
"Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze have a good impression of you +10"
"Gu Enze and Sun Deqiu's sense of belonging to Changhe Village has risen"
Looking at the two pieces of news that suddenly appeared, the corners of Jia Nian's mouth flashed with a smile.
Originally, I bought corn as a reserve food, as well as the daily consumption of myself and Guo Dapang, but I didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected harvest.
"It's time for us to go to the barracks," Jia Nian said to Gu Enze and Sun Deqiu.
Gu Enze and Sun Deqiu replied respectfully to Jia Nian: "Yes"
The group of three people took a step forward and walked quickly in the direction of the barracks.
