Chapter 159: Profiteering

The crowd who came to join in the excitement around was so shocked that their eyes were about to fall to the ground at this time.

"Eighty bucks?!"

"Little brother, where did you come from? Now the most expensive rice grain is only 30 yuan, 80 yuan...... Do you have money to burn?! ”

Hearing this, the strong man suddenly looked surprised: "What? You're only thirty bucks here?! ”

"Isn't it! I heard that there was a drought in some places, the harvest was not good, and the grain was much more expensive! ”

The strong man looked surprised, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhou Wan.

A flash of joy flashed on Zhou Wan's face, and she hurriedly said, "Collect!" We've all taken it! Thirty or forty dollars is good! I'm going to do it all! ”

There were many vendors among the onlookers around, who had come around to join in the fun, but when they heard this, they turned around and ran one by one, beckoning the guys in the store to carry the rice and grain together, and rushed to pile up the wagons, and in the blink of an eye, several wagons were piled up.

If it weren't for the strong men guarding the front of the last two wagons and not allowing rice and grain, it is estimated that the last two wagons would have to be stuffed.

Zhou Wan didn't hesitate, and began to settle accounts with a wave of her hand.

But all the rice and grain she collects are collected at 40 yuan per bucket, with a posture of not wanting money as long as the rice grain.

She made such a generous move, and others inevitably talked about it.

So while it was time to settle the accounts, a grain merchant came over with a smile and said, "Girl, where do you come from?" Forty dollars a bucket of rice grain still collects so much, don't you panic? ”

"Loss?" Zhou Wan smiled and waved her hand, "No loss, no loss!" It's all about business, can we do it at a loss? ”

As soon as she finished saying this, the noise around her instantly fell silent.

Zhou Wan didn't seem to notice it, and still only lowered her head to settle the accounts.

The grain merchant lowered his voice slightly, and said, "Little girl, you can receive so much rice and grain today, thanks to our willingness to sell it to you, right?" Don't hide it, let's earn it together! ”

The grain merchant said as he winked at her.

Zhou Wan's hand moved, and she seemed to be in deep thought.

Everyone didn't even dare to urge, and they all looked at her nervously.

Some of the people who came to see the excitement at the earliest heard it clearly, and what this group of people shouted at the beginning was eighty yuan a bucket of rice grain!

Since it is a business, the purchase price is naturally lower than the selling price.

If you don't lose 80 yuan and a bucket of rice......

That's a huge profit!

Even if you can't eat meat, drinking soup is moisturizing!

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes were filled with some expectations.

Finally, Zhou Wan sighed as if compromising and said, "Okay then! Then I won't hide it from you, in fact, I am from Liangzhou, there is a drought in Liangzhou, the government has empty silver, but there is no rice grain, no, a notice was posted in the morning, to collect rice grain at a price of 150 yuan a bucket, but our area, rice grain is now 1231 buckets, this is not much money, so I don't come out to see! ”

The crowd exploded.

There are surprises that are unbearable, and they can't wait to turn around and pack up their guys and go to Liangzhou, and there are also those who calmly analyze.

The grain merchant who started talking to Zhou Wan had a shrewd look, and his face was full of suspicion at this time: "Little girl, you can be honest in business, this is too outrageous, which rice grain can be 150 yuan a bucket?" ”

Or is it a notice posted by the government?

This is outrageous!

Which government dares to take the lead in speculating rice grain to such a high price? Don't die!

"Tsk." Zhou Wan frowned, and didn't settle the account, and with a wave of her hand, someone stuffed a crumpled ball of paper into Zhou Wan's hand.

Zhou Wan unfolded it and took it in her hand and spun it around.

I saw that the four big characters of "Official Notice" were clearly written on the paper, and the end was also stamped with a bright red official seal, which was very eye-catching.

"Keep your eyes open and take a closer look, it's an official seal on it, how did this fake?!"

She directly stuffed the notice into the shrewd-looking grain merchant's hand, with a faint anger on her face: "I also think that I can't eat such a big business alone, so I share it with you, but everyone, I don't owe you anything!" I opened my mouth and said that I was not sincere, I am afraid that if I don't see that I am just a girl, I want to bully people! ”

The grain merchant opened the notice with a suspicious face, looked up and down, left, right, and right several times, and the suspicion on his face disappeared completely.

It's really an official seal!

The official seal is here, and all doubts seem to be fluttering.

The grain merchant smiled, hurriedly folded the notice, and gave it to Zhou Wan again: "Don't be angry, girl, I'm just saying it casually!" To do business, you have to have the temperament to do business, right? So be it! Our family's rice grain will be given to the girl! The girl can deflat, right? ”

Zhou Wan stiffened and said, "I don't lack you a few pieces of silver!" Let's do the math! ”

As she spoke, she told the strong man to take the money and hand it to him, according to the amount she had just calculated.

The grain merchant took the money and turned around and ran, shouting and instructing the shopkeeper as he ran: "You go home and tell your wife, I have to go far away, I won't go home in the near future, go quickly!" ”

"Hey!" The shopkeeper answered, and the girl went in the other direction.

At this moment, everyone around couldn't wait, and urged Zhou Wan to settle the money quickly, so that they could go back and pack their things.

What's more, they don't even want any money, so they turn around and run.

After all, this government has issued a notice, one hundred and fifty dollars a bucket of rice! What are you going to do with those 100 dollars now!

Zhou Wan quickly settled the money, and after the crowd dispersed, she collected some vegetables and meat on the street, stuffed the remaining two wagons, and went straight out of the city.

On the way back, I brought too many things, so the speed was inevitably slowed down, and I walked for four days, and then I finally entered Liangzhou City and went straight to the mansion.

The Wu Governor's Mansion heard the news as early as when they had not yet entered the city, and stood in front of the palace gate early to wait.

From a distance, seeing Zhou Wan and his party coming, Governor Wu was suddenly excited and walked directly towards them.

Zhou Wan turned over and dismounted, saluted to Governor Wu's mansion, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, this matter is going very smoothly, presumably in the next two days, a large number of grain merchants will come over." ”

"This time, in addition to rice grain, I also bought some vegetables and meat, and tonight, I can also give the people an extra meal."

Governor Wu nodded again and again: "Okay!" All right! Thanks to Miss Wan'er! ”

Zhou Wan smiled: "It's good to be able to help adults." ”

Governor Wu watched the creaking cart pass by him, and his eyes couldn't help but glisten with tears.

Zhou Wan lowered her head, took out an account book from the cloth bag she was carrying, and handed it to Governor Wu's hand.

"The grain and grass we used for this trip are not counted, these are the silver used to buy things, please take a look."

Governor Wu hurriedly accepted the account book, took Zhou Wan into the mansion, and gave her the silver.
