Transfer Fubao four and a half years old
Chapter 41 Buying cheap food
After breakfast, grandma held a family meeting.
"Second brother, you continue to knock out the rest of the furniture at home."
"Boss and Third, you two are going to buy grain today, both coarse and fine grains."
After speaking, he took out a piece of twenty taels of silver.
"Just use the money to buy it. If you can't finish it, let the grain store send it back."
"Boss and the third family, please clear out the cellar and light up two fires to prepare food."
Xiu Niang was still weak, so she didn't make special arrangements, but she knew she wouldn't be idle.
"Aren't grandma and Fu Bao going?"
I don’t know why Fu Bao suddenly said this? In fact, she didn't particularly want to go to town.
"Go, grandma will take you there." Grandma Yan is now responsive to Fubao's requests.
"Grandma, we want to go too."
The three men next to them also looked expectant. They didn't say they liked shopping very much, but they wanted to go wherever their sister was.
Yan Zhenzhen was also standing nearby, but knowing that she had no part in it, she buried her head low.
"Grandma, let brother and sister Zhenzhen go. Fu Bao wants to play with sister Zhenzhen."
Grandma Yan was actually a little worried about buying so much food. No one could help except Sanlang and Fubao.
"Okay, okay, let's all go, they all look like debt collectors."
The scolding was enough, but Grandma Yan was a sharp-tongued person, and she deliberately brought a few extra taels of money with her.
Anyway, if you buy so much grain, the grain store must provide delivery, so it doesn’t matter if there are more people there.
"I'm going to drive the car." Zimo, who was always paying attention to Fubao, felt that he finally had a use for him, and happily ran to the cowshed, which was now a horse barn.
"Auntie, won't you go?"
"My little aunt goes there often, but she won't go today. My sisters-in-law and I will clean the cellar."
Fu Bao is a little regretful. She likes the excitement and also likes her little aunt. Her little aunt loves her the most. She likes to hug and kiss her. She keeps close to her whenever she wants to eat.
But with so many brothers and sisters accompanying her, she immediately forgot about her little aunt, and by the way, she also forgot about her brother Jue.
If Brother Jue, who is far away in the capital, knew about it, he would definitely gnash his teeth: What a little heartless person.
"Old lady, I'm going to quit my job. I'll clean up later and meet up with the fourth child in a few days."
Grandpa Yan deliberately arranged himself properly today, wearing a brand-new gown with no creases on it.
Fu Bao noticed that the family had eaten food cooked with Lingquan water today, and everyone was more energetic.
Not only grandpa and grandma look a few years younger.
It was still early when they arrived in the town, and other shops were not open yet. They went straight to the largest Daxing Grain Store, and found that the coarse grains that usually sold for eight cents had been sold for nine cents, and the prices of other grains had also increased slightly.
"Why did food prices rise in just a few days?"
Grandma Yan was still a little surprised. No one should have known about the drought in advance, right?
You don't know how long it will be without rain. If it continues like this, the food supply will definitely increase.
Grandma Yan lowered her head and looked at Fubao. It seemed that Fubao's dream had come true. Fortunately, the idea of stocking up on food came quickly.
"Do you want to buy it? If you don't want to buy it, just go back. There is no need for a bunch of poor people to squeeze in."
"Poor guy."
Who is this talking about?
Fu Bao looked at the family members around him. The clothes they wore were not patched, but because they wore cotton, they used a hammer to wash the clothes. After washing them a few times, they faded and turned a little white.
Because my father and uncle often do farm work, they don’t change into new clothes when they go out.
Isn't it insulting to call them poor people?
"Dad, if you don't buy from them, let's go. Their rice has bugs."
Originally, Yan Yongyi was a little hesitant. This was the largest grain store in the town. If he didn't buy it here, where else could he go?
"Fu Bao is right, I don't believe that they are the only ones who have food."
Grandma Yan is definitely a loyal fan of Fubao, and the three men are not willing to be angry, so they even agree with Fubao.
"Walk."
There were so many of them that once the bustling grain store dispersed, it became quite empty.
Several customers who were choosing grains couldn't help but cautiously pick at the grains after hearing Fubao's words. Unexpectedly, they found a lot of bugs and stones.
"You are selling black-hearted food, and it's so expensive."
"Come on, let's go to another house."
All the customers were gone in no time, and the chubby proprietress was so angry that she hit the mean-mouthed waiter several times with a stick, making the waiter wince and jump.
After going out to the left, Fubao asked him to go to the other side. There was a grain store over there. Yan Yongyi and the others knew about it, but the goods there were much less than here.
But what they didn't expect was that Fubao didn't know where the grain store was. Otherwise, they would have asked: How did Fubao know the way?
I have no choice but to go and take a look first.
There was a banner from Fengsheng Grain Store hanging at the door. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper named Liang was about to close the shop at this moment.
"Shopkeeper Liang, aren't you selling food today?"
"If you want it, hurry up. I have to close the door and go back to my hometown."
The very honest shopkeeper had a sad face, something must have happened at home.
"Buy, we have to buy a lot. Shopkeeper, how long will it take to go back?"
"Well, it's hard to say. Something happened at home, the journey is long, and my wife and children have already gone back.
I originally wanted to sell the grain, take out the shop, and then go back, but I didn't expect that word came from home that the old man was dying.
I have to go back tonight. Now I have to go out to rent a carriage and come back to pack my things. It’s just a pity that the food is there. If I come back, it will all turn into black mud. "
"The shopkeeper still has a lot of food left?"
Yan Yongan immediately smelled the copper smell of silver.
"It's not too much. Each item weighs two to three hundred kilograms. It adds up to two thousand kilograms."
This number is not much for a grain store, but for farmers, it is an astronomical figure.
"If we do it all, is there a discount?" Grandma Yan couldn't help but interrupt.
"Can we buy them all?"
Shopkeeper Liang was a little in disbelief. He saw that all of them were dressed in ordinary clothes, but behind them was an excellent carriage. The owner of the family did not look like a master, and the driver did not look like a servant.
He was worried that even the wealthy people with some connections in the city would not be able to tell.
"If you can finish it, I will sell it to you at a loss of 10% of the purchase price.
If not, I can only drag as many as the carriage can pull back to the village, and leave the rest to fate. "
The shopkeeper shook his head sadly. This would really cost him his life. If he couldn't sell it, all the money he had earned over the past few years would be lost.
"We want them all. Does the shopkeeper have enough inventory?"
Grandma Yan was fortunate to have put twenty taels of silver in her pocket when she went out. Seeing that her grandchildren followed suit and took another ten taels, this should be enough.
"Do you really want it? I have all the food coming in and out. If you don't believe it, you can just measure it."
It wasn't until he saw Grandma Yan taking out money on the counter that the shopkeeper really believed that a big buyer had come and quickly opened the drawer to look for the ledger.
With the help of a few boys, Yan Yongyi and Yan Yongan selected two or three types of more expensive white rice and flour and measured them in buckets. The quantities were indeed very close to the ones on the shopkeeper's books.
After a pair of calculations, the grain that originally cost more than sixty taels at the market price was only forty-two taels. The shopkeeper also wanted to save trouble, so he wiped off the fraction of the two hundred taels and asked them to find a car by themselves. pull.
There were more people and faster packing. There were fifty-eight sacks in total, and it took at least three bullock carts to pull them all.
The money and goods are both settled.
Yan Yongan said he wanted to find a bullock cart, and the shopkeeper also said he wanted to rent a carriage together.
