The Brilliant Future of Traveling

After Su Yu was led into the house by Tian Hai, Tian Hai called out: "Daddy, Mommy, I brought Brother Yu here."

After seeing Su Yu, two kind people came from the courtyard and said with a smile: "It's Ah Yu, hurt me, sit down and let the aunt cook something delicious for you.",

Su Yu shouted embarrassingly, "Uncle Tian, ​​Aunt Tian, ​​how can this be done?"

Uncle Tian smiled, "Ah Yu, you grew up with Ah Hai and took care of Ah Hai everywhere, why are you so cautious when you come to Uncle's house, just be your own home, don't be strangers, by the way, your mother can good?"

Su Yu responded with a smile, "Well, thank you uncle for your concern, mother is well, ha ha."

Su Yu, Uncle Tian, ​​and Tian Hai sat and chatted for an unknown amount of time, when Mrs. Tian called out, "Old man, come and help serve the dishes. The dishes are ready."

In this way, Su Yu and Tian Hai's family sat at the table and had a meal together. On the table, all kinds of wild game were delicious, and Su Yu's mouth watered when he saw it. Aunt Tian smiled and said, "Ah Yu, eat quickly, I missed you yesterday." Uncle Tian is good at hunting, he has caught a lot of good things, today is a good day."

Su Yu smiled, feeling that this family is good people, so he said: "Well, yes, uncle, aunt, you can eat too, ha ha."

While eating, Uncle Tian said, "This year's food price has dropped again, these merchants like to bully us people who don't understand accounts, hey."

Said unintentionally, but listened with intention, Su Yu asked after hearing it: "Uncle Tian, ​​why is this?"

Uncle Tian sighed and said: "This year's harvest is very good. There is more than three shi of grain per mu of land. In previous years, the grain was sold for one shi and one tael of silver, but this year the people who harvested the grain were only willing to pay [-] yuan. Wen Yishi, a total of two hundred Wen is missing, hey, this common people just happen to have a good harvest this year, and they will have a good year, which is unexpected."

Su Yu frowned, one stone and one tael became eight hundred, and two became less. Although the harvest was better, it was too much. He said, "Uncle, why don't you go to the county to sell it yourself?" As for the grain shop, they only pay [-] Wen?"

Uncle Tian smiled helplessly, "We peasants, how can we compete with the merchants in the grain store? They are very smart, and if they do something casually, we will suffer from being dumb."

Su Yu thought for a while, "Pang Hai, if you have time in a few days, you can go around the county with me, I want to go and have a look." Pang Hai, whose name was called, was happily gnawing on a chicken leg. After hearing that, Nodding vaguely, "Okay, okay, I'll take you around in two days."

Su Yu thought of something again, and said, "Uncle Tian, ​​the food at home hasn't been sold yet, so don't rush to sell it, I think the price is a bit ridiculously low, although the harvest is better, but it's not so low, wait for me I went around the county, found out the situation, and then sold it."

Uncle Tian's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I almost forgot, Ayu is educated or a scholar, these accounts should be calculated clearly, okay, okay, uncle, please."

In the evening, Su Yu came home and asked Su's mother, "Mother, have we collected all our food?"

Mother Su seemed to think of something, "By the way, Ayu, a tenant will come to pay the grain tomorrow, so don't go out, stay at home and collect the grain."

Su Yu responded, "By the way, mother, how did we discuss and divide our land with the tenants?"

Mother Su replied: "Each share is [-]%, Yu'er, you are a scholar, and our family doesn't have to pay taxes, so we rent the land to the tenants. Our mother and daughter leave two shi for food every year."

Su Yu calculated in her heart that this should be an income of more than ten taels of silver every year, so she said, "Mother, how much savings does our family have now?"

Su's mother looked at Su Yu and said, "We have more than 20 taels of savings now. I wanted to buy paper, pens, inkstones, and fabrics from you, and I can't save much every year for some family expenses. What's the matter? Yuer?"

Su Yu flicked his mouth and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just asked, by the way, mother, I will ask Fat Hai to take me to the county in two days, and I will go and have a look."

The next day, four rent-paying tenants came to the door of the Su family. When Su Yu received them, the tenants were very happy and said, "Master, this year's harvest is good. One mu produces three stones of grain. After paying the tax, the remaining Sixty percent of the money has been sent to you, the boss will check it."

Su Yu faced everyone with a smile, and after checking the accounts one by one, he asked, "Everyone, I heard that the people who came to the village to collect grain this year are only willing to haunt the village for eight hundred coins, but is it true?"

One of the tenants said: "Who says it is not? Master, you have to be careful, don't be speculated by those profiteers. We are poor peasants. It is good that the food left is only enough for the family. We will definitely not sell it."

After the tenants handed over the grain, Su Yu began to think about how to sell it at a high price. I, a student of economics in the 21st century, can't play with you, a businessman from thousands of years ago, and smiled sinisterly at the corner of my mouth thinking about it.

Two days later, Pang Hai came home to look for Su Yu to go to the county. Su Yu jingled to Su's mother before leaving the house: "Mother, don't sell the food. We will discuss everything after I come back from the county."

Although Su's mother didn't know what Su Yu was going to do, but Su Yu said that she would definitely listen to her, and then gave Su Yu a tael of silver, and bought whatever she liked.

In this way, Pang Hai and Su Yu went to the county together. There were no horses, no cars, and they could only walk. Su Yu asked, "Pang Hai, how long will it take?"

Pang Hai turned his head and said, "We'll be in the county in about half an hour."

Su Yu cursed in her heart, and when she finally arrived in the county, Su Yu's mouth was parched, and she and Pang Hai found a gazebo by the side of the street and drank a few bowls of herbal tea.The county is still a bit bustling, with all kinds of businesses. The two walked around for a while, found a grain shop, and walked in.

Su Yu pretended to be a grain seller, and then asked, "What is the price of grain now?"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he replied, "The price of food is [-] Wen a stone, and it's all at this price. Look, do you..." He greeted Su Yu with a smile.

Su Yu immediately replied with a sad face: "Hey, what kind of year is this year? The harvest just happened to be a little bit better, and the price has dropped so much, hey."

The shopkeeper saw this kind of expression a lot, and said with a helpless face: "Objective, we don't know about this. The big merchants from other places who come to collect food now also pay the same price. If they don't raise the price, we can't do anything about it. But a lot of people still sold it, otherwise I am afraid that it will fall again. It is better to sell it early, and they will all leave in a few days, and the price will drop even lower.

After Su Yu heard it, it turned out that merchants from other places were lowering the price and wanted to take advantage of the low purchase price. Now that the price is so low, all that should be charged should have been collected. Wait a few days, and the small and medium-sized merchants who have not received much will definitely not be able to sit still. It's still low, so it's strange if it doesn't rise?Stock up on lows and sell highs later to make money.

Su Yu also said helplessly: "Hey, there is no other way, I have to transport the grain early and sell it."

After the two left the shop, Su Yu asked Pang Hai, "Is your family's food not sold?"

Pang Hai said: "No, Dad said, listen to you, brother Yu, you are smart since childhood, I also believe you, if you say you won't sell it, you won't sell it."

Su Yu smiled, "Very good, Fat Hai, Brother Yu told you that after a few more days, food prices will definitely rise. Let's go, Brother Yu will take you to eat noodles today."

Pang Hai happily shouted: "Okay, okay, hehe"

Su Yu and Panghai stayed in the county until the afternoon before returning to Qingshan Village. They saw many people selling grain. After returning home, Su's mother said, "Yu'er, many families have sold grain today. Although it’s eight hundred pennies a stone, everyone says it might be even lower in a few days, and all the surplus food in our village has been sold today, as have your uncle’s and your second uncle’s.”

Su Yu was startled, why did he forget about his elder brother's food, hey, it shouldn't be, and then he said, "Mother, don't listen to those businessmen' nonsense, the price of food will rise, tomorrow I will go to the next village to collect food, If it's too late, I'm afraid the real hand will arrive."

Mother Su stared at Su Yu with wide eyes, "Collect grain? We haven't sold our own grain yet? You still want to collect grain? Why do you want to start a business?"

Su Yu explained; "Mother, look at me, I can't lift my shoulders, I can't resist my back, I just know how to chop firewood and dive into the water, and I can't take the imperial examination to become an official. What do I do if I don't do business, mother, Believe me, I promise to make money this time. Let me see how much savings I have at home tomorrow, and I will talk to my elder brother now, and ask him to help me tomorrow."

Su's mother wanted to say something, but seeing Su Yu's firm eyes, she nodded.

In the evening, Su Yu went to Su Yuan's house, and as soon as he entered, Su Xiu'er ran over and shouted, "Third Uncle, you are here!"

Su Yu picked up the little man and said, "Xiu'er, where is your father, third uncle has something to do with your father."

At this time, Su Yuan and Chen Cui came over, and Chen Cui said, "Third brother, what's the matter here today?"

Su Yu looked at Su Yuan and said, "Brother, is your food really sold?"

Su Yuan smiled helplessly, "I can't help it. Although the price is a little lower, I'm afraid it will be lower, so I sold all of them today. What's wrong? Could it be that yours hasn't been sold yet? So what should I do? I'm afraid there will be more." Lowered." With a sad expression on his face, why didn't he remind the third brother today.
