Chapter 166: Price Reduction

The little men who pretended to be merchants returned to their respective shopkeepers and reported that the business had been negotiated. Shopkeeper Sun and the others listened to the price quoted by the subordinates, although they were not very satisfied, but it was within the acceptable range.

So just wait for the agreed three days to pull the grain.

In the backyard of Juxin Grain Shop, Shopkeeper Sun was lying on a rocking chair under a big tree, and there were two beautiful women shaking fans on the left and right, and there were two small basins of ice on both sides of the rocking chair.

The chair swayed back and forth regularly, and the shopkeeper Sun hummed leisurely and listened to the news from his subordinates.

"Hmph, it's just tens of thousands of taels of silver, and when I buy those grains, I sell them to the state capital, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to earn them back." 」

"Are you sure you've bought all their food?"

The little guy in the brocade dress who looked a little nondescript hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, master, it's all gone, even the ones in their store, and there is not a single grain left."

Shopkeeper Sun was very happy, and with a wave of his hand, he rewarded the next person with silver, "Hahaha, good, reward!"

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Three days ago, Qin Jin rented a Zhuangzi, and Jiang Zhiyue also filled the Zhuangzi with grain.

As soon as the time of the three days arrived, the three traveling merchants who had negotiated with Qin Jin took a large number of people to pull the cart and followed Qin Jin to the Zhuangzi in the suburbs to pull grain.

The town's Taiping grain shop also temporarily hung a sign saying that it was temporarily closed.

Feng San and Feng Si guarded the door, watching them carry bags of grain to the cart one after another, noting down the quantity. Zhuangzi was lively for a while, and there were figures carrying grain back and forth.

By the time they had loaded all the food into the carts they had brought and handed over the money, it was already completely dark, and the yard was full of lanterns to see clearly.

Qin Jin took the stack of silver tickets in his hand and said with a happy face: "It's getting late now, if you don't have a place to stay, I can let you stay for one night in this Zhuangzi."

When those people cast their eyes, Qin Jin smiled and said, "The price is negotiable."

The smile that was about to rise on the corner of the man's mouth froze in embarrassment, and then he turned his head and said, "No need, we have our own place to go."

"Okay, I won't leave you behind, you guys go slowly."

Qin Jin raised the silver ticket in his hand and waved it at them.

Everyone was attracted by the thick pile of silver tickets in his hand, and left through gritted teeth.

When everyone left, Qin Jin grabbed the silver ticket in his hand and said happily, "Let's go, let's go back to the town and find the guy from the bookstore and Master Jiang and they have a good meal."

The Jiang master in Qin's import is Jiang Yuchao, since the town house was cleaned up, Jiang Yuchao moved over with a few boys who were still going to school in the town and Ming Yuanqing.

In addition, Mr. Bai also came over with Jiang Dalang, Jiang Erlang, Jiang Sanlang and Wang Hao. A primary school hall was set up in the house, and Mr. Bai Lao was specially used to give lectures to Jiang Dalang and them.

Huang Ji's body has recovered, so they let the family come to town.

Although it was now completely dark, the curfew time had not yet arrived, and it was nearly two hours long enough for them to find a restaurant to eat properly.

Feng San and Feng Si happily blew out all the lights lit on the Zhuangzi, closed the door and followed Qin Jin to the town.

More than 100,000 taels of silver were put into the account at once, and the three of them were very happy.

Feng Si also said with a smile: "Fooling them to buy food these days is much more tiring than being a buddy in the shop."

Feng San and Feng Si used to be soldiers under King An, and they did straightforward things, but now they have to fool those people around the bend, which is really a bit of a headache for them.

Today, it is not only Qin Jin who is happy, but also those who are guarding the mountain behind Guhuai Village.

Thinking that the time had come, Jiang Zhiyue used the grain shop as an excuse to let Li Wen take many brothers to avoid the crowd and pull a lot of grain up the mountain.

Li Wen knew that Jiang Zhiyue had a way to find food, and he and his master had opened grain shops in the town and other places, so he called someone to pull grain to help the brothers change it

Good food.

Along with the grain, there are some vegetables and meat. Things were pulled into the camp, and everyone cheered again. "The master is rich? Why did you bring so much food?"

One of them grabbed a handful of grain and rubbed it in his hand, and was surprised, "This grain is so good."

Li Wen smiled and punched him, and said, "You guys are thinking of the wrong person, this is what Miss Jiang sent to us." The food was asked by Jiang Zhiyue to take someone to pull it, which is equivalent to Miss Jiang giving it.

Li Wen felt that his idea was right, and smiled and asked everyone to carry rice and flour into the room where the grain was stored, but there was too much food, so he could only vacate another room for grain.

Li Wen looked at the two carts full of meat, and ordered: "Arrange for the cook to make meat tonight, and send it to the brothers on the other side of the mine when it is ready, now that the weather is hot, it should be bad if it is left for two days."

Everyone cheered again and said that they would like to thank Jiang Zhiyue.

Jiang Zhiyue also went up the mountain with him just now, but as soon as she arrived on the mountain, she went to the camp's forge.

Walking outside the forging workshop, Jiang Zhiyue heard the sound of ping-pong percussion, and the forging weapons in the forge were in full swing, using ore mined from the mine.

Jiang Zhiyue pushed the door in, the heat wave came to the shop, and several old craftsmen who were doing guidance saw Jiang Zhiyue coming over, and hurriedly invited people in.

"The girl is here, come and see our batch of weapons."

Jiang Zhiyue smiled and took the long knife handed over, flipped the palm of her hand and held the handle of the knife and turned it around fluently.

One after another in the forge were high-temperature stoves, Jiang Zhiyue walked outside and waved the knife in his hand a few times.

"Not bad."

Several old craftsmen laughed, as if Jiang Zhiyue's simple two-word evaluation was a great affirmation of them.

Jiang Zhiyue swept the extremely heavy big knife in her hand and asked, "How much have you done?"

The old craftsman replied, "There are more than five hundred handfuls, and in a little more than a month, these boys in the camp will be able to have one each."

Jiang Zhiyue took the knife and re-entered the house to look at the other weapons they had made.

In addition to knives, they also forged a number of elaborate crossbows and spears.

Jiang Zhiyue walked around the camp and then went down the mountain, and every short walk Jiang Zhiyue could find the people stationed on patrol.

Originally, there was only one camp on the mountain, and the guards were not so strict.

Now that there is one more mine being mined, Li Wen has sent people to patrol it every day.

Although there would be no people coming over in this deep mountain, Jiang Zhiyue reminded him that it was always wrong to be careful in everything, and asked him to send people to guard day and night.

If there is a person who really breaks in, he will quietly lead people away.

On the evening of the same day, those who bought all the grain from the Taiping Grain Store as traveling merchants pulled a team of carts around the city and went to the Zhuangzi of Shopkeeper Sun and others.

Shopkeeper Wang and Shopkeeper Du looked at the high-quality grain brought back by their subordinates, and their hearts finally didn't hurt so much, after losing tens of thousands of taels of silver.

When the grain was brought back to the Zhuangzi of the shopkeeper Sun, the shopkeeper Sun was in the house and the aunt who came in was in the house.

When I heard that the food was brought back, I couldn't bear to throw down the beautiful lady in my arms, so I went to the yard with my disheveled new aunt in my arms.

After confirming that all the grain was correct, Shopkeeper Sun laughed and said, "Tomorrow, we will take these grains to our own shop to sell, and the price must be higher than the best quality grain in the store!"

"Hmph, I don't think those people can buy food and don't come, what else can we do."

On the second day, when the people in the town wanted to go to the Taiping Grain Store to buy grain, they rarely found that there was a proofing sign hanging on the door of the Taiping Grain Shop.

It doesn't hurt if it's only for one day, but for several days, the same sign is hung outside the Taiping Grain Shop, and there is no movement.

Those who had no more food in their homes had to go to another grain shop to buy grain.

As a result, they found the same grain in their store.

It's just that the price is much higher than the price of the Taiping grain store.

The little guy in the grain store looked at the people who had no choice but to buy food, and he didn't have a good face at all, and he almost had to engrave the four big words "love to buy or not" on the door of his head.

But the people who came to this place to buy grain were all exhausted at home, and even if they were dissatisfied, they could only buy it, but they hoped that the Taiping grain store would open as soon as possible to extinguish the arrogance of these people

In the days when the Taiping Grain Shop was closed, people continued to find that the other three grain stores in the town had sold grain from the Taiping Grain Shop, and the prices were all ridiculously high.

Rumors also began to circulate in the town that the shopkeeper of the Taiping grain store was untrustworthy.

Rumor has it that the shopkeeper of the Taiping Grain Store did not keep his promise when he opened and found a buyer with a higher price, so he was reluctant to sell grain to the townspeople.

Since it is a rumor, some people believe it and some people don't.

But the Taiping grain shop has not been open for seven consecutive days, and those who don't want to believe it are slowly shaken.

Just when the rumors were spreading more and more, the Taiping grain shop opened again, and there was a lot of grain inside, which naturally made the rumors self-defeating.

And after the grain store reopened, the price of each grain was even a penny lower than the original price.

The people who knew the news were happy, but the shopkeepers of the other three grain stores were not happy.

The price of the same grain Taiping grain shop is so much lower than that of other grain shops, and fools know how to choose.

The three shopkeepers all decided that the Taiping grain store had no grain in stock, and now not only has food, but also reduced the price!

They really can't say what they are suffering, and there is no reason to go to the Taiping grain store to question.

The shopkeeper, who had no place to vent his anger, could only sprinkle the fire on the little guys who pretended to be traveling merchants and went to the Taiping grain store to buy grain.

"A bunch of waste, didn't you say that you saw the food being emptied with your own eyes, and what is going on now!" The little guy who was kicked away was miserable, kneeling on the ground with tears and snot flowing.

"Master, the little ones really saw the food emptied with their own eyes, and they didn't even let go of the grain stores in the town."

Seeing that Shopkeeper Sun's huge body was about to smash over again, the little guy hurriedly said, "Maybe there is more than so much grain in that Taiping grain shop."
