Concubine's plan

Xun Yingju felt funny in her heart to think that this big shopkeeper treated her as a distinguished guest, but she didn't say anything. After all, no one didn't want to be respected, and Xun Yingju was no exception.

After it was done, Xun Yingju just looked around, and was not in a hurry to speak but kept praising her, saying:"The big shopkeeper really knows how to enjoy life. He can make money in the front and drink tea and enjoy life in the back. It really makes us run away People with broken legs are envious"

"Haha, Miss Six is ​​exaggerating. We are a small business. When we have nothing to do, we can only sit and drink tea to pass the time. But the girl is a very busy person and may not even see her in person."The big shopkeeper is also a person in the scene, and he resolved the inquiry from Xun Yingju with a few words.

Xun Yingju was not discouraged. She was the buyer and was not in a hurry. She just took a sip of tea and continued chatting with the big shopkeeper without mentioning it at all. It means buying food.

After sitting for a while, the big shopkeeper couldn't sit still. He secretly sighed that a little girl like Xun Yingju had such patience. She was really a good person to start a business together. It's a pity that it's a girl's family. If it were a man, I'm afraid it would cause a bit of trouble. Great Zhou Dynasty figures

"Miss Six is ​​always busy. Isn't she just here to drink tea?"The big shopkeeper asked with a smile.

What an old fox. Xun Yingju cursed in her heart, but explained her purpose of coming. After all, this was not a shameful thing, so she said:"The big shopkeeper is in the grain business. Of course I came here to buy Food, I wonder if the shopkeeper can give me some discount?"

"Haha, the girl is an old customer of my store. We will naturally be happy to be able to take care of my store's business again. Why don't we tell you how much food we need so that I can have an idea."The big shopkeeper said with a smile.

The meaning of this is obvious. It depends on how much food you want. If you want a large quantity, it will be no problem. If the quantity is small, I'm sorry. The business in the store is small and the profit is small, so there is no way to give a discount.

Xun Yingju, who has also worked hard in the market for many years, naturally understood the meaning of her words. Without hesitation, she directly reported the amount of grain she wanted and said:"Ten thousand catties of miscellaneous grains and twenty thousand catties of soybeans."

It's not that Xun Yingju likes the servants to eat more soybeans, but soybeans are an indispensable nutrient for people's health. They can not only be used to make food, but can also be used to make many dishes. Although Xun Yingju can grow a lot of greenhouse vegetables, she can't just let them go. These servants can enjoy it as they please, and there are still several Youranjus in the capital that want to use it.

"Five thousand catties of polished rice and five thousand catties of white flour."Xun Yingju calculated in her mind that this food is almost enough for the people in Zhuangzi to eat until next autumn harvest, and then there will be no need to buy more food for these people. The big shopkeeper couldn't help but take a breath when he heard the amount Xun Yingju revealed. A little girl actually wanted to buy 20,000 kilograms of grain at one time, and she didn't know how many people she had to feed. She really didn't have that much grain in the store, and she couldn't even give it out in batches. The productivity was low, and the grain output was not large. After harvesting the grain, a large part of it has to be used to pay taxes, leaving only what you can eat, and very little can be sold.

"First of all, I would like to thank the girl for recognizing the ability of the small store and placing such a large order at one time. However, the girl may not know that in our situation in Dazhou, food is the most precious. The small shop really cannot produce so much food. The maximum is three One thousand catties of miscellaneous grains, eight thousand catties of soybeans, two thousand catties each of polished rice and soybeans."The big shopkeeper felt bitter in his heart, and kept complaining about why the land in Da Zhou couldn't produce more food.

No one could hear the big shopkeeper's inner thoughts, and Xun Yingju was no exception. She was really surprised and quickly figured out the problem. , Dazhou's agricultural production is not large. The yield of three hundred kilograms of grain per mu is very good. Many ordinary people can't eat enough. It's no wonder that the big shopkeeper looks embarrassed. The sound of rain on the side makes him sigh in relief. She didn't expect that The girl actually wants to buy so much food, just for some servants. You are a good master by giving them some miscellaneous grains to keep them full. Why do you have to give them polished rice and white flour? How much money will it cost? The money at home is not strong. What you came here can't be wasted like this. After hearing the big shopkeeper's words, she was relieved.

Although it was far from Xun Yingju's expectation, she felt relieved to get the food, so she said:" Okay, I want these, but I wonder what the price is?"

"A pound of miscellaneous grains costs six cents, soybeans four cents, polished rice twenty cents, and white flour fifteen cents."The big shopkeeper revealed the price in his heart without hesitation. This is already the lowest price he can give, and it is also an honest price.

During this time, Xun Yingju got to know the food prices in the capital in order to open Youranju, and this price is indeed a good price. The price was determined, so he nodded and said:"It's a deal, I just need to trouble the big shopkeeper to send someone to deliver the grain to my village outside the city."

After receiving Xun Yingju's affirmative answer, the big shopkeeper nodded in agreement. Xun Yingju is a rare person for him. He is not much worse than a man. He can only sigh here. Such a good girl is not a little brother. If a little brother studies seriously, he will definitely... She can get a good academic reputation.

Xun Yingju naturally didn't know what the big shopkeeper was thinking, and kept talking about her request, saying:"These grains must be divided into three parts and sent to three different Zhuangzi. There will be people at Zhuangzi to take care of them." , then just let the servants on Zhuangzi receive it"

"Don't worry, girl, I will definitely hire an oxcart to bring all the food to you tomorrow morning, and I won't let you worry about it."The big shopkeeper took back his thoughts and said solemnly.

Since she had to go to Zhuangzi to say hello, Xun Yingju didn't stay too long. She paid the deposit and left with the sound of rain. The remaining money will be waiting for the big shopkeeper to deliver the food. The settlement was settled when Zhuangzi got on.

Yusheng carefully helped Xun Yingju get into the carriage, and then she followed her. She started walking as soon as she got into the carriage. Only then did Yusheng have the chance to speak, and reluctantly pouted and said:"Girl, They are just a group of bought servants, why are they so kind to them? I wonder if they will be grateful for the girl's kindness?"

"I only act according to my conscience and do not expect others to repay gratitude. Although I only bought them for work, I must also consider their lives, otherwise it will be your girl who loses in the end. Xun Yingju smiled, then her eyes fell on Yusheng and continued:"Just like us, we are master and servant in name, but emotionally we are like sisters, even closer than biological sisters.

If I treat you well, you will naturally treat me well. This is how people change people's hearts. We are not hard-hearted. I think many people understand in their hearts that if we put more care into doing things, we will not pay so much in vain.

Besides, this is only the case this year. From now on, Zhuangzi will grow its own food, so everyone can be self-sufficient, and we don’t have to worry about buying food everywhere."
