Chapter 44: Otherworldly 2: Selling Grain

Looking around, he saw a well-dressed person dozing off in a small medium cloth shop, Jia Yu guessed that this person was the shopkeeper, and hurriedly walked over.

Jia Yu deliberately made a little noise, and the shopkeeper was awakened, seeing that although Jia Yu was dressed simply, he had a gentle and elegant temperament, and guessed that Jia Yu was a scholar with a much gentler attitude.

"What kind of cloth does Childe want to buy?"

"Durable coarse cloth."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he led Jia Yu to a corner and said, "These are, one foot 2 Wen, one horse 75 Wen." ”

Jia Yu tried it, and saw that it was quite sturdy, and the wood did not look moth-eaten, so he thought about it and said, "Let's have 3 horses." ”

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, "Okay, Chenghui 225 Wen." ”

The shopkeeper picked up 3 pieces of cloth and walked towards the counter, Jia Yu followed, and asked softly: "Shopkeeper, I am from Xingyuan Town next door, this time I want to go south with my family to join my uncle, passing through here, I want to buy some rice grain, but I don't want the rice shops in the city to be closed, can I ask the store for some advice?" ”

The shopkeeper used hemp rope to tie the cloth for a moment, and glanced at Jia Yu quietly, and his heart was sure to be.

Don't look at this kid's average dress, but his bearing is extraordinary, and now he can go south with his family in a well-informed manner, thinking that his family background is not ordinary, he can't help but value Jia Yu more and say something to Jia Yu with the psychology of forming a good relationship.

After asking questions, Jia Yu found out the news of this town.

It turned out that there was a capable Qi county Cheng in this town, who raised the price of rice and transported the rice grain away in order to prevent the grain shop, and he concentrated the grain from the rice grain shop in the city to the county office, and opened a warehouse to sell grain every five days, and each person could only buy one liter each time.

Jia Yu came unfortunate today, the day before yesterday, the county government just opened a warehouse to sell grain, and the next time he will have to wait for the day after tomorrow.

"However, if you are in a hurry, you can buy it from the rich families in the city, some rich families want to go south, and they can't take too much grain with them, and the rest will be sold to the county government at a low price." The shopkeeper said with a look at Jia Yu.

Jia Yu knowingly took out a small silver coin from his arms and handed it to the store, "Please also ask the store to mention one or two." ”

Seeing the appearance of the small silver coin handed over by Jia Yu, the shopkeeper once again confirmed the conjecture in his heart, took it from Shanruliu, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say." ”

"As far as I know, the people in Zhilan Lane in Dongcheng have been moving frequently during this time, I guess they are also going to leave in the next few days, and the son may be able to go over and ask."

After thanking the store, Jia Yu took the cloth to an uninhabited alley, put the cloth into the system backpack, took out two cans of wine, opened the seal and poured 10 ml of spiritual spring into it, and then carried it straight to Dongcheng, inquiring all the way to Tanju's house.

Standing in front of the door of Tan's house, Jia Yu knocked on the door.

After a while, the concierge opened the door, and seeing that Jia Yu was extraordinary, still carrying two cans of wine in his hand, he had a gentle attitude and asked, "Good afternoon, son, is there something wrong?" ”

Jia Yu put his hand into his arms, took out seven or eight nougats from the system backpack, pulled the hand of the concierge and forced it over, "Little brother, I am a student of Mr. Yuan in Xingyuan Town, is the Tanju person at home?" ”

The porter took the nougat and held it up to the front to look at it, sniffed it again, and said curiously, "What is this?" ”

Jia Yu smiled and said: "This is nougat, little brother try it, it's delicious." ”

The porter didn't feel that Jia Yu gave little, so he only put away the nougat and said politely: "What are you talking about?" ”

Jia Yu said softly: "My family and I are going south, passing through here, we want to buy some rice and grain, and I heard that there is a little surplus on the side of Tan Juren, so I want to come over and ask." ”

The porter nodded and said, "Wait a while, I'll go and report." ”

"Thank you, little brother."

Jia Yu waited outside the door for a quarter of an hour before being invited in, and the first elegant middle-aged man in the main hall was there.

"Student Zhan Mancang has seen Tan Juren." Jia Yu bowed.

"Hurry up."

Seeing Jia Yu's demeanor, Tan Juren was very satisfied, and when Jia Yu sat down, he asked in a warm voice: "I heard that you are going south this time?" ”

Jia Yu bowed his head and said respectfully: "Yes." The river in the village dried up and the well dried up, so in desperation, the tribe had to move south. ”

Hearing the word "Ju Clan", Tan Juren's eyelids moved, and after thinking for a moment, he still gave up Fang Cai's idea.

Originally, when he first heard that he had found a scholar, he had the idea of going south with this person, but now it seems that it is just that.

The hearts of the people are unpredictable, and he can't guarantee that his people will not come up and rob their own house when they don't have enough to eat.

Even so, Tan Juren didn't have the idea of talking to Jia Yu, and asked directly: "Do you want to buy grain?" How much do you want to buy? ”

Jia Yu saw that the attitude of the people who talked about lifting people had changed several times, and he had his own guesses in his heart, and replied in a deep voice: "How much food does the people have to talk about the people?" What is the price? ”

Talking about the people for a moment, considering that it was transferred to the county government for 15 wen a liter, he said: "In the past, rice was 7 wen a liter, and when the rice shop was closed a month ago, it had risen to 35 wen a liter, and now the county government sells 24 wen a liter, you are a student of Yuan Xiaoyou, so I will sell it to you for 20 wen a liter." ”

Jia Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, stood up and thanked him: "Thank you for your generosity, and the students are grateful for their generosity." ”

As he spoke, Jia Yu sideways introduced the two cans of wine that were placed on the table, and said: "The student's family went south, and they didn't carry too much luggage, but these two cans of wine were brewed by the student's Taoist master who was very good at winemaking. ”

Seeing Jia Yu's proud expression, Tan Juren thought that this should be a good thing, so he took it, and called the maid to pour it, raised his glass and looked at it for a while, and saw that Jia Yu drank it, so he also raised his head and drank it.

"The taste is mellow and soft, refreshing after drinking, and the mouth and teeth are still elegant and fragrant, wonderful!" Talking about the people savoring it.

Seeing this, Jia Yu smiled, and took advantage of the good mood of the talker, and agreed with him to go back to the ward patriarch today to see how many people wanted to buy grain and how much they wanted, and then bring the money to the door tomorrow morning.

Talking about the people to finalize the good things, Jia Yu politely declined the invitation to talk about the people to stay and eat, and went out of the city to return to the station.

In the distance, Jia Yu heard the voices of the villagers lamenting and complaining.

Jia Yu returned to Lao Zhan's house and asked Zhan Dazhu, who had already returned, "Have you bought any grain?" ”

Zhan Dazhu sighed and said worriedly: "No, you will only be able to buy grain the day after tomorrow, and I heard them say that if you are not in that town, you can only buy half a liter of grain per person, and one liter will cost 24 Wen." ”

Zhan Daliang also said worriedly: "You said, they have to count the heads to sell grain, and we can't all go in, how can this be good?" ”

"However, more than 230 people, even if they go in batches, the battle is still too big, I heard that this is basically the flow of people for ten days and half a month. The guards are not stupid, and they will surely find out that they can ask us outsiders to buy so much food. Zhan Dazhu added.

Jia Yu saw that the big guys were worried, and said softly: "It's okay, I found someone who is willing to sell grain, and we can buy it tomorrow." Let's go, let's go and talk to the patriarch. ”
