Chapter 13 New Shop
Yun Li left with a smile, because he had achieved his goal, and he had sold the goods he had bought at a higher price, and more importantly, he had to complete his task.
Next, it's time to wait for the next opportunity to come.
Just after November, on the first day of the lunar month, the herdsmen who had already led cattle, sheep and horses to prepare for the winter materials were stunned to find that the prices of the materials had all increased!
Originally, three sheep could be exchanged for enough winter supplies for a week, but now there are thirty!
According to the conversion ratio on this side of the grassland, three sheep is equal to one cow, and six sheep is equal to one horse.
In other words, if they want to exchange enough winter supplies for the family to survive for the next week, they need to pay from one cow to ten, even five horses!
Who can change this!
For most herdsmen, even if they change all their cattle, sheep and horses, it will not be enough for them to survive until after this winter, and even if they survive, they will fall into a situation of nothing, nothing more than die a little later.
Immediately, all the herdsmen who came to make a noise, all kinds of grassland dialect and half-baked broken official dialect from various tribes with different accents sounded on the scene, and the herdsmen directly surrounded all the Li family shops in the city!
The situation seems to have become a little out of control.
At this time, the shopkeepers of each store stood up, they first told that it was not easy to get the goods this year, and then they used the reputation of the Li family in previous years to ensure that it was not to embarrass everyone, but if they didn't sell so much, they couldn't even protect the capital, and they would be even more unable to provide supplies to everyone next year.
Immediately, as if he had made his own claim, he lowered the selling price by two percent, and said with an expression of desire to drip blood that there was not a single copper to earn them this year.
The herders are simple and ignorant.
There was once a man who said that if you think a room is too dark, you have to open a window, and people must not allow it.
But if you advocate the removal of the roof from the beginning, and then in their dissuasion, the demand will be lowered to open a window.
Then they will agree.
It is this kind of human psychology that the Li family has taken advantage of, so that the simple herdsmen can accept these winter materials, which are already eight times the usual price.
The herdsmen who had been smiling all ended up returning home gloomy or sad.
Although they accepted this price, it did not mean that they were willing to buy these materials at this price, but they had no choice but to survive.
After three days like this, the herdsmen gradually accepted the facts, and Li Xuanji was also relieved to see that things were stabilizing.
And began to think about it, this year's pass seems to have passed, but the price increase is indispensable, if they still do this next year, these herdsmen are not the people in the pass, they will definitely go back to their old business and grab it directly.
Therefore, I must find a way to avoid the means of Feiyun Commercial Bank next year, and I can't be held hostage by them anymore.
Just as Li Xuanji was thinking about how to find a more stable supply channel that would not be rebelled by Feiyun Commercial Bank, he didn't know that a few shops had quietly opened in the east, west, north and south directions in Yunzhou City.
Geril is an ordinary herdsman in Kohl who keeps a hundred sheep, a few yaks and three horses at home.
According to their belongings, this winter should have been easy.
But three days ago, the Li family firm's increase in the price of winter materials covered this ordinary herdsman family with a layer of haze.
Ge Rile only found out this morning, he had already opened it once before when the supplies were still at parity, when he exchanged three sheep for enough supplies for a week's winter for the family, but when he led the three sheep to Yunzhou City today, he found that his three sheep were no longer enough.
The supplies of the Li family's shop have risen to the point where two pairs of hands, plus eight fingers of sheep can be exchanged for a week's survival materials!
So he could only lead his five or six-year-old Xiao Hu Ling (daughter) to his home, and he wanted to go back and bring more sheep in exchange for the family's survival supplies for the next week.
"Abu (father), why do we need a day (home) before we get a lot of wood?"
Young Sanji didn't understand why Abu had to go home this time when he came to the big city without exchanging sheep for a lot of wood, so he bit his finger and asked his Abu.
"Little Sanji, we don't have enough sheep to bring, Abu has to go home and bring more sheep, so that Abu's little Sanji will not feel the cold in the next seven sunrises and sunsets."
Geril sighed, picked up his beloved Xiaohu, and said comfortingly.
Although Xiao Sanji didn't understand very well why the three sheep couldn't exchange so much firewood, he knew that he could just follow Abu, but maybe there would be a lot less sheep in the family in the future, and there would be a lot fewer sheep in the family after a winter in previous years!
Now three sheep are not enough, and I don't know how many cute lambs will be sent to the big city this year.
The father and daughter led the three sheep on the road and walked one foot deep and one foot shallow, although it was in Yunzhou City, but the snow that had fallen for a long time had also covered the ground of Yunzhou City with enough snow to submerge the calves.
Even if someone cleans it up on time, it is not as fast as the snow falls on that day.
Just when Gerile was thinking about how many sheep he would have left in his house after the winter at the current price, little Sanji, who was held in his arms, suddenly pointed to a shop not far away and said loudly:
"Abu! Abu! Look! There is a cloth in front of the shop with a flame painted on it, is it a place to sell firewood? ”
When Geril thought that his little Hu had seen the shop opened by the Li family here and turned his head to see the shop, he was stunned.
It was a shop that I had never seen before, and the sign outside the shop was painted with a pattern of three flames, although the inside of the shop could not be seen clearly, but judging from the performance of the snow around the shop showing signs of melting, it should be extremely warm, but this should not be the Li family's shop, right?
The Li family has been rooted in Yunzhou County for decades, and they are very familiar with the Li family's shop and the herdsmen in Yunzhou County, and this shop is definitely not the Li family's shop.
Suddenly, a thought came to my mind, I want to go over and take a look!
If this is really not the Li family's shop and it also sells winter materials, maybe you don't have to spend more sheep to go to the Li family's shop in exchange for enough winter materials!
Thinking of it, he did it, and the little beard that was about to be in his arms was very tight, and then he led the three sheep with a deep foot and a shallow foot towards the front of the shop.
Far away, when he was about to reach the shop, Geril could hear the guy in the shop shouting loudly at the level of the Song Dynasty official dialect that he was not very fluent in, but could understand: "Don't miss it when you pass by!" The best honeycomb coal and honeycomb coal stove, as well as the warmest and most popular cotton clothes and pants big cotton jackets! The new store opens for guests, cotton clothes, cotton pants, cotton jackets, a set of three only one sheep!
The honeycomb coal stove only needs two sheep each, and then one sheep can be exchanged for two hundred pieces of honeycomb coal, which is enough for a family to rise and set at sunset for seven days without feeling cold!
If you have passed by, come and take a look! ”
Geril was shocked when he heard this, although he didn't understand what the honeycomb coal stove and honeycomb coal were, but he heard that guy meant something similar to firewood.
Putting it down, Geril's footsteps were a little faster again, and soon he came to the store and saw the big characters painted on the shop!
