It is true that 500 stone of grain may seem like a lot, but if there are many people who eat it, it will be eaten up in a few months. As Deng Yueru said, persisting until the summer grain begins to be harvested, that is, barely able to survive until the end.

"Five hundred stones is not too much, I can call the shots, then it is three percent cheaper than the market price, what do you think?"

The Duan family's fields are more than a thousand acres, and since they can open a grain shop, the amount of grain stored is very large. The Duan family is also because there is too much grain in stock, and there are two seasons of new grain output every year, so they are afraid that the grain will be bad and wasted, so they opened a grain store to sell grain.

Therefore, the price of the Duan family's grain store has always been very fair, even if the price of the surrounding disaster grain rises, the price of the Duan family's grain store has not risen. However, in order to prevent some people from raising prices after hostile acquisitions, the amount of grain purchased by the Duan Family Grain Bank is also stipulated.

However, because Deng Yueru is Mrs. Li's life-saving benefactor, plus she also saved Duan Yu. And five hundred stones of grain seems to be a lot, but it is a drop in the bucket for the market, so Mrs. Li was able to call the shots and directly agreed to Deng Yueru's request to buy grain.

"Thank you, Mrs. Li, you have really helped me a lot. I don't know, when can we start buying and selling grain? ”

Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly, Deng Yueru stood up and gave a fist salute to Mrs. Li. To tell the truth, Lin Xiaotong really wanted to get things done quickly, so that he could go back to the cottage to transfer people to transport grain.

"Miss Yueru, you are too polite, this matter of buying food has been decided. I see that the time is almost noon, let's eat first, and after eating, let Duan Yu take charge of this matter and take you to the grain store. ”

It can be seen that Deng Yueru is in a hurry to make a transaction, and Mrs. Li thinks that so many people are starving, so she understands Deng Yueru's mood very well. However, no matter what she said, she had to express her gratitude, so she had to invite Deng Yueru to lunch and talk about other things.

"In this way, then it would be disrespectful, Yueru just tasted the food of your mansion."

After the matter was discussed, Deng Yueru also knew that she couldn't be too eager, so she smiled and nodded and agreed to stay for lunch.

"Yu'er, where's your father?"

I haven't seen Master Duan since I came back, and Mrs. Li asked Duan Yu on the side.

"Dad went to Qingyun County to visit an old friend, and said he would come back in two days."

Remembering that his father only left after his mother went out yesterday, so his mother didn't know, Duan Yu hurriedly said.

"Oh, since your father is not here, let's go to the dining room for dinner, and we have to eat enough to talk about anything."

Mrs. Li stood up, pulled Deng Yueru with one hand, and walked towards the dining room while being supported by the little girl. Behind, Shuangxi and Duan Yu hurriedly followed.

The Duan family is a rich and noble family, and the food is naturally more exquisite. It was only at this time that Deng Yueru knew that the seasoning of this world was not barren, but her wallet was barren.

"Come on, try this roast leg of lamb, it tastes very good. The seasoning for this roasted leg of lamb was bought from a foreigner from the west, and there are a lot of good seasonings in the hands of this foreigner.

And this roast chicken is also delicious, and you can't eat it on our side. The practice of roasting chicken is the secret recipe of a time-honored brand in Beijing, and our lord spent a lot of money to ensure that it is only eaten at home and never passed on, so he seeks the method. ”

At the dinner table, although there were only three people, Mrs. Li, Deng Yueru and Duan Yu, there were more than 20 plates of various dishes alone. Coupled with some side dishes and sauces, a table of eight immortals was fully arranged.

As for Double Happiness, she was taken down by Mrs. Li's eldest girl, and she had her own table of food to eat by their close maids.

This meal can be said to be the most high-end meal that Deng Yueru has eaten since she came to this world for a month. After eating and drinking, Mrs. Li was also tired, so she was helped back to rest by Yahuan, and Duan Yu was responsible for discussing the matter of buying food.

"Duan Yugongzi, I still have things in the troupe, and I can't leave for too long. In this way, tomorrow at midnight, your men will transport 500 stone of grain to the valley ten miles away from Fuyun Town, and my men will carry the grain away at that time. ”

It was already past noon, and Deng Yueru didn't want to delay any longer, so she told Duan Yu about her thoughts.

"Is it okay to just transport it to the valley? Don't you need my help to ship it directly to your warehouse? ”

Duan Yu was a little surprised when he heard that it was just unloaded halfway through.

"It's okay, just transport it to the valley. The main reason is that I have to disperse the grain and transport it to different villages and towns so that it can be handed over to the relatives of the jugglers, so I want to separate the grain and transport it directly when I am in the valley, so as not to have to pack and transport it again after it is transported to the warehouse. ”

After talking about the reasons she thought of during the meal, Deng Yueru felt that her reasons were quite sufficient.

"Also, after it is transported to the place, it has to be shipped out again, which is indeed a matter of two times. Okay, I understand, I'll arrange for the delivery of food security to the designated valley. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Duan Yu recognized Deng Yueru's arrangement, and also thought that it was more reasonable to separate the grain on the road and directly transport it to the place where it was needed.

"Okay, now let's talk about the price of food, I buy a lot of money, don't deliberately quote a low price. Besides, your mother has already given me a seven-fold discount. ”

Seeing Duan Yu, who wanted to open his mouth to speak as soon as he heard the money, Deng Yueru immediately raised her hand to interrupt him and directly made the words clear.

"Ahem, okay, okay, I know, let's calculate the price of food last year when there was no disaster. Last year's grain price was the same as one stone of grain, and your five hundred stone of grain was five hundred yuan, which was three hundred and fifty taels of silver when converted into seven. ”

Seeing that Deng Yueru explained everything, Duan Yu had no choice but to settle the account.

"Well, the price is reasonable, and I'm taking advantage of it. Here, this is a silver ticket of one hundred and fifty taels, as a deposit, and the remaining balance payment, when the grain is handed over tomorrow, I will pay it again. ”

went out in a hurry today, and Deng Yueru didn't expect things to be so smooth, so she just brought out a silver ticket of one hundred and fifty taels.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about the final payment, you can pay it whenever you want."

Taking the one hundred and fifty taels of silver tickets and stuffing them into his arms casually, Duan Yu said to Deng Yueru.

"Oh, if you do the business, your business will be lost sooner or later."

The matter was negotiated, Deng Yueru was in a good mood, and laughed with Duan Yu.

"Hehe, yes, I'm not a businessman, so my dad never let me meddle in this. But I'm not actually interested in taking the imperial examination, but I just take the exam casually to make my parents happy. ”

Being teased by Deng Yueru, Duan Yu was not angry, he raised his hand and grabbed his hair, and he couldn't help laughing.
