Chapter 613: Business Opportunities

Ping'an County, both externally and internally, is much better than Ping'an Town.

In addition, Ping'an County is the land of fish and rice, and the water transportation is convenient, although it is a county, it is not bad than the general state capital.

Xia Qiqi walked around the county for half a circle, and felt that this place was suitable for business.

Not only that, but she also saw many things that were only available in the capital in the county.

Jewelry shops, ready-to-wear stores, and restaurants with chefs from Beijing.

These shops involved in the capital are often booming, and there are many people queuing.

Xia Qiqi lined up for two incense sticks outside a rouge shop before he got the opportunity to go in and see rouge.

The price of a box of rouge is not cheap, and the size of two fingers costs two taels of silver.

As for the others, they are even more outrageously expensive, but there are still many ladies and ladies who buy things here, all of them are like treasures, and they return with a full load and are happy.

Xia Qiqi knows that from ancient times to the present, women like things that can make them more beautiful, but this is inevitably too crazy.

You must know that two taels of silver, if placed in the countryside, can be enough for a family of three for a year.

After a few sighs, Xia Qiqi left the rouge shop and moved to other places in the market.

In the end, he is in business, and whenever Xia Qiqi goes to a place, he likes to ask about the price.

She finally stopped in front of a rice shop, and the rice in the town cost eight cents a pound, and here, it costs fifteen cents, which is fully doubled.

However, this also shows the difference between the county seat and the town.

Xia Qiqi was about to leave, and suddenly saw a basket of rice in the corner of the rice shop, but the price was cheaper than in the town, only five cents.

She couldn't help but stop and asked the guy who was standing at the door selling rice, "Little brother, is there something wrong with these rice?" Why only five pennies? ”

"Questions? You say this? These are all rice, shelved for at least two or three years, some for more than three years, and no one buys them, and no one buys them at a low price! If you want, I'll talk to the shopkeeper to see if it can be cheaper for you! The young man spoke.

Xia Qiqi became more and more confused, she knew that the taste of new rice and adult rice would be different, but it was not to the point where she couldn't eat it, right?

What's more, this kind of price selling, isn't it a loss?

"Little brother, even if this rice is made of rice, it shouldn't be that no one wants it, is there something else?" Xia Qiqi asked in a good voice.

"Something else? Of course not! Now everyone is living a good life, and it's not that they can't afford to eat in the countryside, they all want to buy themselves something good, and it's nothing! This rice is indeed good rice, but the taste is like that, if you want it, I will go and tell the shopkeeper, don't forget it, wait a few days, the pig breeder will come, and sell it to them at a low price. ”

Xia Qiqi: "......"

From the county seat to the town, it takes only half a day.

Xia Qiqi didn't expect that the difference would be so big.

If you put it in the town, these rice, not to mention five or eight yuan, I am afraid that they will rush to buy it.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Qiqi decided to give it a try.

Perhaps, she can buy more of this kind of rice in the county seat, about two or three years, and then sell it to poorer places.

If a pound of rice can earn three cents, she has the three hundred taels left by Ah Jiu in her hand, which is enough to make a lot of money.

Xia Qiqi sent his buddies to talk to the boss of the rice shop, and not long after, a middle-aged man with a big belly came out.

As soon as he heard that Xia Qiqi wanted to buy rice, he immediately invited Xia Qiqi in.

A pot of tea, a chair, and the shopkeeper is quite polite.

Xia Qiqi took a sip of the teacup lightly, and in an instant, a refreshing aroma surged into his heart.

It's good tea, and if you want to come to this person, you can do a lot of rice business.

Seeing that Xia Qiqi drank tea, he still looked at the tea in the teacup with a stunning look, thinking that he knew that he had made good tea.

said good-naturedly, "Girl, seeing that you are young, I didn't expect that you are also a businessman!" ”

Xia Qiqi pursed his lips and smiled, "It's because I'm young that I want to try any business, and I haven't lived in vain!" ”

"That's right, that's right! But I'm going to have to say something ugly! This rice is still the new rice that has just been recovered, and the longer it passes, the worse the taste. If you buy it back and no one buys it, I can't return it here. The shopkeeper said.

Xia Qiqi nodded, "Shopkeeper, how many catties of this kind of rice do you have here?" ”

"It's not much, five hundred catties, but I have a lot of rice here, if you really want it, not only mine, but even the rice merchants you know can introduce it to you!" The opening of the shopkeeper.

Xia Qiqi nodded, if someone pulled the strings, it would save her a lot of trouble.

"Shopkeeper, I want to go and see the rice before making a decision."

The rice that has been stored in the warehouse for three or five years, Xia Qiqi is not sure, whether it is on the tide, whether it is rotten.

Moreover, the quality of the rice, these have to be seen.

"This is no problem, since it is a business, it is naturally agreed by both parties, but you also have to do it as soon as possible, the new rice we purchased from all over the country is about to enter the warehouse, and those things have been put in the warehouse for several years, which takes up too much space!"

The way of the shopkeeper.

These words reminded Xia Qiqi that if she wanted to buy rice, she had to rent a warehouse.

The sooner the better!

Thinking about it like this, Xia Qiqi suddenly felt that his trip to the county seat was not ordinary.

was probably in a hurry, and the shopkeeper immediately took Xia Qiqi to see a few warehouses.

Except for the 500 catties that have been turned into rice, the rest is rice.

The ventilation of the warehouse is good, and the rice is not bad, but after a few years, there is some humidity, and if the rice is really going to be resold, it has to be turned and dried.

Of course, this is another reason why these rice shop merchants are willing to sell cheaply.

Turning over requires manpower, material and financial resources, and a lot of space.

With these people, they might as well buy more rice and earn more, and it is easy.

Xia Qiqi used to think that this was a simple job, but now he doesn't think so.

While renting a warehouse, she also had to find a yard with her, otherwise those rice would not have time to be turned and dried.

And as soon as she buys it, it is at least 60,000 catties, and one person is basically equal to death.

Thinking about it like this, Xia Qiqi felt that he still had to invite someone.

She immediately thought of Zeng Ah San, who had agreed with them at the beginning, if he left Ping'an Town, Zeng Ah San and they would have to be responsible for the safety of Xia Qiqi's roast duck shop.

Now the roast duck shop doesn't need them, but they can get them over to dry rice for her.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Qiqi first signed an agreement with the shopkeeper of the rice shop.

She used 300 taels to buy 60,000 catties of rice from the rice shop, but it involved the question of how many catties of rice a catty of rice became, so the actual price was different from what had been agreed before.

After making a contract, Xia Qiqi returned to the town.
