Chapter 145: Opening a Grain Store
"Sit, we came to you to inquire if there is a shop to sell in Gushan Town."
Guo San's eyes lit up, and business came to the door.
"I wonder what business you're going to do?"
"Open a grain store."
Guo Sanyi slapped his thigh and poured a sip of tea. "If you want to say that Master Shen is lucky, there happened to be a grain store that dragged me to sell it two days ago, which is the largest Quanfeng rice store in the town."
"What?" Shen Zhong was startled, and his voice was a little loud.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? "Guo Sanyi is excited, there won't be any festivals, right?
"What's wrong? Father. Xiao Xia also looked at her father suspiciously.
"It's nothing, that shop used to be the grain store where your uncle was in charge." Shen Zhong scratched his head and explained embarrassedly, he was just surprised.
"Huh? That's a coincidence, which means that the store is related to your family. The son of the owner of the grain store went to Shangjing to do business, and the old couple wanted to go to their son to help, so they sold the store. You can rest assured! The price is also fair, three hundred taels of silver. ”
Xiao Xia thought about it and decided to go and see the store first.
When the group arrived at the grain store, the location was in the center of the mountain town, and the store was not big, but it had a two-room backyard, the middle yard was not small, and there was a well, which was enough to do the business of the grain store.
Shen Zhong has been here, naturally he is no stranger to this place, and the shopkeeper also knows Shen Zhong, and when he saw the younger brother who came to buy his shop, he felt a little strange, but as long as he could make money.
Xiao Xia thought it would be okay, so he negotiated the price.
"For the sake of an acquaintance's face, two hundred and eighty taels."
"Two hundred and sixty taels, how about the silver?"
In the end, two hundred and seventy taels of silver were sold, and the contract was made on the same day. Xiao Xia gave Guo three or four taels of silver as an intermediary fee, and Shen Zhong was in a state of confusion throughout the whole process.
When no one is around, I dare to ask Xiao Xia.
"Where did we get so much silver?"
"I borrowed a hundred taels from a friend, and when our family has the silver, we can pay it back."
When Shen Zhong heard this, the arrears of one hundred taels of silver almost didn't look up. "A hundred taels? When will we be able to pay it back? ”
"Don't worry! Have you forgotten that our family has grain, and if you sell it, you will have silver? ”
When he returned home with the title deed, the family must have been excited, Xiaochun looked at the remaining twenty taels of silver in his hand, and quickly put it away.
The original owner of the grain store sold the store and the family moved away, and the store was ready-made, and it could be opened with a simple tidying up.
After the grain store was managed by Uncle Qing, there was Ma Ye and others in the backing town to take care of, no one dared to make trouble, November 18 was a good day, the door of the grain store set off firecrackers, invited a lion dance team, and it opened.
With the lion dance team, the gongs and drums are noisy, and it is natural to recruit people, and after a while, many people gathered at the door of the grain store to see the excitement.
"Isn't it Quanfeng Rice Store? When did you change owners. ”
"Full of gold? The name is good. ”
"It looks like a grain seller."
"Everyone be quiet, quiet, our owner said, today the owner is newly opened, buy ten catties of rice and give one catty of the same kind of rice, only today. Selling a hundred catties of rice in accumulation is a copper plate member who is full of gold and jade, and buy ten catties of rice in the future and give one catty away. Buying 500 catties of rice cumulatively is a silver member full of gold and jade, and buying 10 catties of rice in the future will increase by 2 catties. Buying 1,000 catties of rice cumulatively is a golden member full of gold and jade, and buying 10 catties of rice in the future will increase by 3 catties. Uncle Qing stood at the door and explained to the crowd over and over again.
"And such a good thing?"
"Go inside and take a look."
The crowd went into the store in waves, even if they didn't buy it, they saw that there was really more rice, and those who were not short of food at home bought ten catties. Anyway, it's almost the New Year, buy more and save it!
Today's first day of opening ended the lottery, of course Shen Zhong's family came, looking at the booming business, they couldn't believe their eyes.
In the evening, when the accounts were calculated, in one day, the coarse grain and fine grain were sold for a total of more than 1,500 catties, and the income was nearly 110 taels of silver.
"After selling so much, our family's grain stock won't be able to sell for long?" Shen Zhong didn't expect to be able to sell so much in one day, wouldn't he have been able to buy all his own grain years ago.
"More than a hundred taels of silver, won't our family have a lot of silver in the future?" Koharu exclaimed, it's great that he can pay off his debt today.
"It's the first day, and we have such a big deal, and we won't be in the future. Besides, we have to calculate the cost, we spent 600 taels to buy land, and 270 taels to buy a store. "Xiao Xia is happy, she wants to open the 'Golden Jade Hall' all over the country, and she doesn't panic when she has food in her hand.
"What should we do if we run out of food?" Shen Zhong began to worry at this time.
"Don't worry! It's still early! ”
The grain store is regular day by day, with an average income of more than ten taels every day, and the family is smiling every day, Uncle Qing lives in the store, and Shen Zhong has to run to the town every day with an ox cart.
The fact that Shen Zhong's family opened a store in Gushan Town, no one in Shenjia Village knew about it. Looking at the cold day, Shen Zhong ran to the town every day, and asked if he was curious, Shen Zhong always smiled and said that he would go to work. The people in the village naturally thought that Shen Zhong was doing odd jobs for others, so they were no longer curious.
"Dad, you're back, there's something good to show you." Xiao Xia pulled Shen Zhong, who had just entered the courtyard, into the small living room.
The small living room was as warm as spring, the kang was hot, and there was a charcoal brazier on the ground. The family was there, and everyone's new clothes were neatly placed on the benches.
"This is a cloak made for you, made of black mink fur, and you won't be afraid of the cold when you go out in the future."
"And this Mao Kan shoulder, you can try it too!" Xiao Wang's helped Shen Zhong put it on, and it all fitted.
Shen Zhong smiled, he had never thought that he would be able to live a life of abundant food and clothing before, seeing that the daughters-in-law and daughters at home were also wearing brand-new Luo skirts, they were extremely beautiful, and a sense of pride and confidence welled up in his heart.
"I didn't expect me to have this day." Shen Zhong sighed casually.
Xiao Wang listened and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. "No, I didn't think that there would be a day when I would wear gold and silver."
"Mother, our family's life will be better in the future, don't hide your jewelry and be reluctant to wear it." Xiao Xia looked at her mother's still simple dress and shook her head, her mother is used to it, and she will definitely not be able to change it for a while, but this is also a good habit.
"You kid, I don't go out at home for a day, and I still wear gold jewelry, isn't it laughed at by the villagers, or the villagers don't laugh at it, what if you are robbed? It's still locked in the cabinet, and I'm at ease. If I wear this on my body, I won't be comfortable for this day. ”
When Xiao Wang saw the gold jewelry for the first time, his eyes were wide and he asked where the things came from. Others smiled when they saw the gold, she saw the gold as if she had seen a ghost, she scared herself enough, and she locked the bottom of the cabinet and pressed the bottom of the box without trying it on.
