Chapter 8: Selling Grain

8. Sell grain

It was almost noon, and Zhang Yu went home with a basin for clothes.

At this time, the news of their family selling houses and rice had already spread throughout Dongyang Village, and Zhang Yu met several villagers who asked her about the truth on the way.

There are more than 600 households in Dongyang Village, just like Zhang Yu estimated, some families have a large population and do not lack labor, but the food is not enough to eat, so Zhang Daniu's family went out to sell rice, and in the afternoon, two families found Zhang Daniu to talk about selling rice.

But those people are very good! I thought that in the case of Zhang Daniu's family, the three children were not very sensible, so they were so confused, saying that it was impossible for the yield per mu to reach 1,500 catties, at most 800 catties.

Zhang Yu didn't argue with them, smiled and said: "You don't believe that our family's rice can make 1,500 catties of rice per mu, then this matter is not easy to discuss, please go back!"

"For the sake of the three of you sisters and brothers, even if it is 1,000 pounds, it can't be more." The other party tried to bargain.

Zhang Yu said without being impatient, humble or arrogant: "This has nothing to do with whether our sister and brother are lonely or not, what we are talking about now is trading, and it is a transaction on the basis of fairness and justice."

"The yield per mu is 1500, which is too much, and it is less."

"Our family's field is the best fertile land in the village, in fact, 1,600 catties of rice can be produced per mu, I only count 1,500 catties, and I have already recognized it, so I will no longer bargain, you think it will work, and if it doesn't work, it will be pulled down." Zhang Yu's tone was gentle and resolute.

The attitude of the people who came to see Zhang Yu was completely different from what he thought before he came.

They originally thought that a child of Zhang Daniu's age was in a hurry to use money, was in a hurry to sell, and could be dismissed with a few casual words, but they didn't expect it to be a hard bone.

Seeing that the other party couldn't take advantage, he left stupidly.

In the evening, another family came.

Zhang Yu directly expressed his attitude.

"According to the yield of 1,500 catties of rice per mu, three acres is 3,150 catties of rice, I want 500 catties of rice, 2,000 catties of rice are exchanged for money, according to the market price of two cents a catty of rice, that is, 400 yuan, and the other 650 catties of rice belong to you, do not bargain."

"Isn't it! Girl, you may not understand when you are young, how can you get so much rice? ”

"Our family's own field, I know how much I can fight, uncle, aunt, I said that I don't bargain, you can buy it if you think it's suitable, and don't buy it if it's not suitable."

The other party tried to persuade Zhang Yu, but she was rejected by her gentle but resolute attitude.

Although at present, Zhang Yu's conditions have made a profit, but the gap with their expectations is too great, so they still did not accept it and left.

Later, another one came to inquire about how the house was sold.

Zhang Yu said five hundred yuan, no bargaining.

The other party still said amazingly, saying that such an old house was worth a hundred yuan at most, and if he agreed, he would buy it immediately.

Zhang Yu had a smile on his face, but his tone was very cold: "Uncle, if your house is willing to be sold for a hundred yuan, I am also willing to buy it."

"Big girl, you're joking with me! You can't use it, why buy it? ”

"I bought it and demolished the house, how can those timber and tiles be sold for five hundred yuan!"

"Who will buy old wood, you are kidding! Big girl. ”

"Uncle, you're kidding me! Such a big house, you only thought of a hundred dollars to buy it, I am young, but not a fool! Although these timbers and tiles are old, they are enough to build a pigsty or a cowshed, and they can be sold for more than 500 yuan. ”

When the other party saw Zhang Yu, a little girl, she had an idea, a calculation, and a shrewdness! I couldn't take advantage of it at all, and I was robbed of it and walked away.

Zhang Yu can see that these buyers who came today are thinking that she is young and doesn't understand anything, so she is so confused, so she came to pick up the bargain.

Whether it is rice or a house, Zhang Yu feels that the price she gives is already very reasonable, and they are willing to buy what she really wants to buy, so Zhang Yu is not in a hurry, she just waits for the person who really wants to buy it to come to the door.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yu went to the well to fetch water, and everyone asked Zhang Yu about selling rice and houses.

Zhang Yu once again resolutely stated his attitude, set a good price, do not bargain, buy if he thinks it is suitable, and pull it down if he thinks it is not suitable.

Someone quipped: "Girl, someone went to your house yesterday to discuss with you, but I didn't expect you to be so young and shrewd!" Don't let a single step. ”

Zhang Yu: "My price is fair and reasonable, those who bully us young and ignorant or orphans who want to take the opportunity to pick up a bargain, die as soon as possible, don't come to talk in vain, if you really want to buy, welcome to come to the house to negotiate."

Zhang Yu is not afraid of offending people when she says such things, and she won't stay here for long anyway.

She knew that after she said this, it would definitely spread throughout the village soon, and when the time came, those who wanted to take advantage would dispel their thoughts and be discouraged, and those who really wanted to buy would come to the door, so that there would be no need to waste each other's time.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, an eldest brother surnamed Zhang in the village came to the door and wanted to buy rice from Zhang Daniu's family.

He is in his forties, has three sons, two daughters, the eldest son is twenty, and the youngest daughter is also ten years old.

Their family has labor, and with a little labor, they can get six or seven hundred catties of grain, where to find such a good thing, so when they heard about Zhang Daniu's family selling rice, his family came to the door together.

Brother Zhang had already calculated, and Zhang Yu's price was not a loss, so he simply settled the matter when he came.

400 yuan, pay now, 500 catties of rice, take it in two months.

Zhang Yu wrote an agreement, called the village chief and the village accountant as a witness, signed the agreement and put his fingerprint on it.

The house was also sold in the evening.

The person who bought the house was surnamed Yang, in her fifties, Zhang Yu called her Aunt Yang, and she had two sons and a daughter.

The eldest son has been married for three years and has a younger grandson.

The family's house is small, and they can't live so many people at all, and their family has long wanted to build another house for the eldest son's family to move out, but a few years ago, Aunt Yang's husband was sick, spent a lot of money, and owed famine, and finally made both people and money empty, although the famine has been paid off over the years, but there is no money left in their hands, their family can't afford to build a new house at all, and now I heard that Zhang Daniu's family is going to sell the house, the price is not high, and she can get it together, so she came with her eldest son.

Five hundred dollars, scraped together, how can I make it up.
