Chapter 208: Selling Grain and Making a Big Profit

50 taels is already a lot for ordinary people, but for Bai Xia, it's just a drop in the bucket, after all, there is a gold-swallowing beast that needs 200,000 yuan to buy a mountain!

Steady, not a big problem.

Bai Xia comforted himself and looked at the weather outside, but around five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was already dark and sunk, and it was getting darker and earlier than a few days ago, which also meant that winter was coming.

In recent days, people in the village have come out more and more frequently, and the work in the fields has been almost busy.

Everyone gets up early in the morning and goes up the mountain, and when they go down the mountain, they all carry dry firewood on their backs, which is to prepare for the cat winter.

"Uncle Hai, you take this silver to the town to buy some cotton, if the town doesn't have it, go to the county"

"On the other hand, how is the textile machine prepared?"

Yu Dahai has not been idle for the past ten days, because he knows that the silver money in Bai Xia's hand is not enough, and he has to count the sales of grain almost every day or two, so that he can collect the silver money.

I was also afraid that the money would be too much, and the people below became greedy.

So I finally came back to rest for a while.

He didn't ask Bai Xia what he was doing to buy cotton, he took the money first, and then replied: "The owner of the village arranged for someone to deliver it half a month ago, and I think it will be delivered in a few days."

"Good"

"You can put out the news of the grain merchants"

Scattered sales in the end or a small number, only half a month to sell 45 taels, compared to this kind of fixed-point sales, the income is too little.

Yu Dahai nodded yes, and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

First told the village chief the news that the grain merchant from the south had come to Qingyang County, and told him again that this time the grain merchant brought more grain, and each person was limited to 100 catties of grain.

And the grain merchant will stay in Qingyang County for three days this time, and he will stay in the town for one day thanks to their young lady's relationship.

When the village chief heard this, he immediately told the villagers the news.

This time they did not hesitate, and when they heard that the grain merchant had brought a lot of grain, the big guy took out the family's money and counted it again and again.

Thanks to Baixia's blessing, she built a pigsty and planted radishes during this time, plus the work of building a house, so that the villagers made a lot of money.

Especially if the whole family goes to work for her, there are many people who can earn hundreds of dollars a day, and after a few days, it is also half a dollar and a tael of silver.

In addition, some of the savings on weekdays are also available, and a few taels of silver are also available.

Hoard grain and firewood to survive the winter.

For fear that the grain merchants would leave early, this time they prepared the money early, and they also prepared the guys.

Everyone in the village wants to buy grain, so they can't just rely on Bai Xia's carriage to pull it, they have to pick it up by themselves.

Yu Dahai couldn't buy cotton in the town, so he drove a carriage to the county, and ran back and forth for two days before he bought the cotton back.

A lot of cotton, not very good, the cottonseeds are mixed in it.

handed over the cotton to Yunshu and Jinxi and asked them to pick and remove the seeds, while Bai Xia and Yu Dahai arranged to sell grain.

"When"

"When"

"If you want to buy grain, come to Miss Xia's house, the grain merchant has come to our village, and the big guys will bring the guys to load the grain, and each person is limited to 100 catties."

"If you want to buy grain, come to Miss Xia's house, the grain merchant has come to our village, and the big guys will bring the guys to load the grain, and each person is limited to 100 catties."

The shouts of the young children spread throughout the village, and the villagers were anxiously waiting, thinking about when the grain merchant would arrive in the town, but they didn't expect to go directly to the village, and suddenly rushed to the door of Bai Xia's house.

The door panels were lined up, and the six young men stood energetically outside the corner gate of Bai Xia's house, which was connected to the backyard, and the yard was piled with big bags of grain.

"Good fellows, when did they bring so much food? Why didn't we hear any movement? ”

When the villagers arrived at the scene, they saw that the young men were burly and had cold faces, and they subconsciously lined up one by one.

There is so much food, you can buy it.

"Hello folks"

A chubby figure appeared at the corner door, standing behind the six young men.

"The contemptible surname is Shang, everyone calls me Shang Jiu, I am a traveling businessman, I come to the south, I know that the big guys are not easy, so the food here is still sold at a price of 30 wen a catty, each person is limited to 100 catties, the food must be enough, the big guys line up, come one by one"

With a few brief words, he began to ask the six lads to sell grain.

Bags of grain were carried out of the house, and pieces of silver and copper coins were collected into the small basket held by Shang Jiu, and the corner door of Bai Xia's house was crowded.

The villagers bought food and quickly carried it home.

The children were waiting at home, swallowing their saliva as they watched the adults come back with food.

There are only a dozen families in the village, but there are hundreds of people.

While the families were buying food, the women or children of the family went out of their homes and went to other villages.

In the morning, it was basically the people of Dou'er Village who were buying grain, and the six men were holding the scales to collect money little by little, and in the afternoon, the number of people did not decrease but increased.

Many of the daughters-in-law's families of Dou'er Village also rushed over.

Holding cloth bags, carrying baskets, and carrying baskets, this action of selling grain lasted until midnight in the sky.

Under the watchful eyes of the villagers, the grain merchant and others left the village with several carts of grain.

It can be seen that their grain is not sold.

Some impure-minded people from other villages followed the team pulling grain, thinking of taking the opportunity to grab some, but they were beaten unconscious just halfway after they followed.

"Okay, you guys go back first, I'll have people send this food to the town"

Bai Xia dropped the beating stick in his hand and sent Shang Jiu and the others away, because when they left, Bai Xia still had a lot of food piled up at home, and they always thought that Bai Xia had brought another group of people who were in charge of food sources in addition to them, so they didn't suspect it.

Several people respectfully hugged each other, and soon disappeared into the night.

After making sure that everyone was gone, Bai Xia put away the grain along with the cart.

I stepped on the dew and went home.

At home, the basket containing the silver was placed in the hall, and Jinxi, Yunshu and Yu Dahai were counting the money, recording the quantity, and the abacus crackled.

Bai Xia took a look, went to the kitchen to sit for a while, took out the rice from the transformation pool and poured it into the pot, added some water, boiled two fires to make it hot, and then took some vegetables out and heated them and brought them to the hall.

"Eat first, then count"

The copper coins have to be worn one by one, so the counting work is very busy.

The reason why the grain is sold so slowly is also because of the money, and if it is not clear, I dare not hand over the grain to the other party.

Now they're reconciling the money at the same time.

A few people remembered the money in their hands, ate first, and then counted.

In fact, there is a simple way, Bai Xia collects these silver coins into the conversion pool, and how many will come out at once.

But then there is no way to make a good ledger.

After eating, Bai Xia pulled some to the side to count.

Relying on their invisibility, she put the silver money into the conversion pool, counted it directly, and then released it to string the money, which was faster than several of them. (End of chapter)
