The food at home is all accounted, and Cheng Jinzhou didn't want to leave the matter of buying grain to his subordinates, so he went out of the second door and walked out.

Shi Mo and Shi Yan both followed behind, and when they were about to go out, Cheng Jinzhou stopped and beckoned, "Come here." ”

Shimo is also a new scholar after Cheng Jinzhou recovered from his illness, only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he is extremely sensible, three steps and two steps, trotting over and saying: "Third brother, it's cold outside." ”

Cheng Jinzhou ignored him, and only said, "Go out and buy something, you go and prepare the car." ”

According to the education of this era, the right way to become a teenager is to grow up, and Dr. Cheng's actual age is not obvious - he has never left school, and he has never grown up completely.

Shimo gave the boy next to him a color, turned around and ran out.

While walking towards the door, Cheng Jinzhou asked by the way: "Shi Yan, do you know how much grain is harvested per acre of land?" ”

"Ordinary slopes, kill five birds with one stone."

Nongsang is fundamental, even if it is an errand in the house, saving money and getting rewards, the first thing is to buy land, but the son-in-law of a family like Cheng Jinzhou rarely really cares about specific agricultural mulberry issues.

Two kinds a year, one mu of land only produces 15o kilograms of grain, even if it is a paddy field, at most it is three or four times the gap, and the gap with modern agriculture is huge, that is, the standard between the Tang and Song dynasties. The ring requires 72o kilograms of food at a time, which is almost enough for a family of three to chew for a year.

Cheng Jinzhou nodded and didn't say anything, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he had never really lacked money, and he didn't feel guilty at all about spending money and food.

……

Shaonan is not a big city, and the Cheng family is located in the center of the whole city, next to the prefect's yamen and the temple of Honshu.

Of course, shops, workshops, etc. are still inevitably separated by a few streets, and although the entire Great Xia Dynasty does not classify business as a lowly industry, discrimination is certain.

Cheng Jinzhou sat in a creaking two-wheeled carriage and quietly came out of the back door, and the two scholars, Shi Mo and Shi Yan, followed the carriage in a dodgy manner, which was a bit of a taste of covering up and stealing the bell.

All the way to the east, the carriage traveled very fast. Pedestrians and horses saw the word "Cheng" on the public opinion, most of them dodged away like seeing a police car, in the entire southeast, the Cheng family may be regarded as a wealthy family, but in Shaonan City, the Cheng family can be said to cover the sky with one hand, and even, it is not an exaggeration to say that Shaonan City is the Cheng family. The prefect of this state is Cheng Jinzhou's father, the Privy Council is in charge of the army as a civilian official, and Changshi has to appoint the Cheng family, who is the archbishop of the Holy Church and the uncle of Cheng Jinzhou, not to mention countless middle and low-level officials.

Because of this background, the Cheng family does not do business, and one-third of the industry in the city also belongs to the Cheng family, the Cheng family does not farm, and one-third of the manors outside the city still hang the word "Cheng" in front of it.

Cheng Jinzhou enjoyed this privilege and opened the window to look outside. Accompanied by the creaking of the two-wheeled carriage, there was the sound of two scholars panting and footsteps.

The Cheng family has strict family laws, and no matter how much there is a place in the car, there is no reason for the master and servant to share the same car-the other world is so bad.

"Stop." The coachman gently pulled the reins, and the carriage slowly stopped in front of a grain store with the word "Huo" flag.

Cheng Jinzhou jumped down slowly, his famous body was weak, and the faces of the two scholars were white, and he said again and again like twins: "Third brother, I can't help it." ”

"You won't change to a new one, the angel can't ......" Cheng Jinzhou waved his hand, lifted the curtain and walked in.

The shopkeeper of the grain store was originally sitting in the middle room, and when he saw Cheng Jinzhou's clothes, he hurriedly jumped down from the high chair, stepped forward quickly, and said: "This lord is invited, our Huo family grain store specializes in rice, flour, grain and oil, what do you want?" ”

According to the system, only the clergy of the Templars, astrosorcees, gentry with titles or fame and their families, and officials of all kinds were allowed to wear silk - the so-called silk was 14 kinds of products, including silk, luo, silk, satin, spinning, crepe, yarn, etc., of which silk was the most strictly controlled. Ordinary wealthy merchants, no matter how rich their family wealth is, only dare to wear it at home, and those who can put it on their children are all lords' families.

Cheng Jinzhou was accustomed to the service of "the customer is God", and he didn't care about "patrolling" around and said: "What kind of grain is the best to sell here?" ”

On weekdays, ordinary customers come to the store, and the shopkeeper must not be able to sit still, so he is careful at the moment and says: "It is still the best white noodles to sell, our Huo family's famous fine white noodles are very comfortable in the palm of your hand." In the cooked food, dried noodles, soup cakes, and cold noodles are all selling well. ”

"White flour is white flour milled from wheat?" Cheng Jinzhou confirmed that many things in the Great Xia Dynasty were similar to the original, but not identical, such as the traditional characters that were also beautiful and complicated, but made them difficult to read

"Yes." The shopkeeper answered honestly, and he didn't dare to laugh at Cheng Jinzhou's ignorance. In fact, there is nothing funny, the children of the family do not divide the grains, that is the most normal.

Cheng Jinzhou also didn't care, he wanted to ask the price, but after thinking about it, he said: "Shopkeeper, please open a list for me, write down the prices of all kinds of food and types in your store, just now." ”

He suddenly appeared, the grain store in this era, there are too many varieties, just one kind of noodles, and there are so many samples that there is a wall so long, even if he asks, I'm afraid he can't remember.

Rather than working hard yourself, it is better to let others trouble.

The shopkeeper enjoyed Cheng Jinzhou's "trouble" very much, and immediately responded, obediently wrote a list nearby, and did not worry about the price leaking out. In contrast, he cares more about Cheng Jinzhou's identity.

It's a pity that Dr. Cheng didn't stay long, and after reading the list, he beckoned the guy to come over and said, "You prepare 2o stones each of brown rice and wheat for me." In addition, cheaper sorghum also gets 2o stones. ”

The price of sorghum is nearly half cheaper, and it would be best if the Covenant animals wanted it.

2o stone brown rice costs 4 taels of silver, wheat is cheaper, not too much, plus sorghum, a silver ingot was spent, the servant ink in the back was secretly speechless, they took a second-class salary, and it was only one or two silver in a month, and before following Cheng Jinzhou, even silver was not seen much.

The shopkeeper also didn't expect that he didn't return to Jinju for a while.

In any era, food is a strategic material, and in this era of astral warlocks, it is even more so.

Because astral warlocks need stronger bodies in order to withstand stronger star arrays - for many astrowarcers with poor talent, increasing their body surface area is a perfect way to cheat. And for the country, the more rice buckets, the stronger the country.

In a way, the government needs more food to feed more able-bodied fat people.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't understand, but the scholar behind him was very clear, and without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak, he said first: "Third brother, the law of the imperial court, if the grain has been bought and sold for 5o stones, it must be reported to the yamen to know." ”

"So troublesome?" Cheng Jinzhou was stunned.

The shopkeeper was still smiling like a flower, and said: "The court has the rules of the court, I don't know what this young master is called, we will send 4o stone rice noodles first, 5 stone sorghum noodles to you, seeing that it is about to reach the end of the month, if you are not in a hurry to use it, we will send another batch next month." ”

In a word, the shopkeeper said everything he wanted to say, and he also wanted to double the sales.

Cheng Jinzhou actually didn't care about reporting to the yamen, the biggest yamen in Shaonan was his father, but these didn't have to be known to a shopkeeper, so he instructed: "Don't grind out the noodles, the rice will be brown rice, and the wheat and sorghum will be supplied." Then let's do it, the things will be delivered to Chengfu in Baila Lane in the west of the city, can they be delivered before dinner? "God knows what an alien does when he wants food, and he doesn't do thankless things.

"Don't worry." The shopkeeper himself is at ease. In the white ash lane in the west of the city, the whole street is the annex of Chengfu, and when there were big banquet guests in the past, it was used to entertain guests.

Those who do grain stores are not afraid of filing in the yamen, they are only afraid of unknown buyers, and in Shaonan, who else is more prominent than the Cheng family?

As for why the Cheng family didn't pick up the goods in the Cheng family's own shop, the shopkeeper didn't want to explore the story in the mansion.

Walking out of the door of the Huo family's shop, Cheng Jinzhou shook his hand and threw a silver ingot to Shi Mo, and said, "Go to another house to buy some wheat and rice and send it over, I will wait for you in the other courtyard." If you want to file a record, leave it to the store. ”

Shi Mo hesitated for a moment, but still ran away.

9o stone is almost 45 star yuan, used to buy books, only enough for 22,500 words, plus random probability, Cheng Jinzhou is not optimistic about the final result.

Fortunately, he was born in the wealthy Cheng Mansion, and if he changes to a destitute family, he may have to pawn out the wrench in his hand, not to mention the food that is enough to eat for several years.
