Seed dealers in ancient times

Zheng Jiangting originally planned to go to the new shop early in the morning to guard. Spring plowing and spring planting are the top priority for the villagers. As long as they find a place to rent, they usually wait in the dark to get food. After all, they rely on these things all year. The sooner you implement it, the more secure your heart will be.

As a result, it was almost time when he opened his eyes today. It was only because of the tonic and the wild goat last night. He was so exhausted after taking it that he almost had a nosebleed. He couldn't sleep, so he didn't treat Chu Xian and Zou Yun badly. After some thought, the couple didn't sleep until midnight.

Zheng Jiang stopped to tidy up briefly, and hurried to the shop.

At this time, Jincheng has already started to hustle and bustle. Most of the shops in the streets and alleys have already opened their doors. Most of them are busy people doing early business. is lively.

Right now there is a long queue outside the shop, there are still two, the villagers probably bring their own guys to borrow food, radish pockets, baskets, and even borrowed ox carts, in order to line up better, guys are put aside , it is very complicated at first glance, but fortunately there is a shade tree next to it, and there are not many shops open for business, otherwise it will make a lot of people dissatisfied.

Zheng Jiangting walked over with a transporter, some people from Yangmu Village recognized him and greeted him one after another, and Zheng Jiangting agreed with them all.

He glanced lightly at the people lined up, many of them were strangers, and they were not villagers from Yangmu Village, but he ignored them and opened the door for business, of course, the more people came, the better.

Last year, he was a petty peddler who could only rent out grain secretly. Now he is also a small shopkeeper. Besides, there are places all over the city where grain can be rented. It is not surprising that he rents out grain.

Zheng Jiangting walked all the way into the shop, and two men who were poking around at the door turned their heads and almost bumped into him. They seemed to be startled and then backed away, muttering: "There are too many people here, I don't know How long will it take to buy food."

While muttering, he bent his head and got into the street.

"Master, are you here?" Zheng Huan and Zheng Le came over early this morning to help, and also invited two gentlemen to settle accounts and write notes, and they are all busy in the shop in an orderly manner. Jiang Ting wasted his kung fu training, and he didn't come and didn't make any trouble.

Zheng Jiang Tingyuan was still looking at the direction in which the two men were leaving, but was brought back to his senses by a shout, and he looked at the two brothers: "Is everything going well?"

"There has been nothing wrong since morning, but there are too many villagers who have come to lease, and there are only [-] catties of rice left in the warehouse. If this trend continues, it may not be enough to sell today."

Zheng Jiang hadn't expected that the seeds of his family had won a good reputation last year, and villagers would come to buy them this year, so he prepared three thousand catties of grain early in the morning, but he didn't expect it to sell so quickly.

He hastily read some of the debt notes written down by his husband. Not many villagers came to rent grain from Yangmu Village this year. Most of them came to buy grain seeds. On the contrary, other villages came to rent grain more.

Although I have reminded the villagers of Yangmu Village not to advertise their food to the outside world, good things are always shared with relatives and friends. This has expanded the scope of some villagers who came to rent food, and some villagers met with Yangmu last year. The village's harvest is hot, and I haven't found out where to buy the grain. This year, I have been watching closely. Seeing that people from Yangmu Village came to them, they naturally followed.

"It doesn't matter. After the rent in the warehouse is over, we will not rent out the grain today. We will only sell the seeds, and we will fill the warehouse tomorrow." Zheng Jiangding also thought about it. There were also villagers who came to inquire about leasing, but the number of customers was far from his shop, even a big shop was the same, a big tree attracts the wind, so he'd better not take all the limelight on himself.

Zheng Le agreed: "Then I will go and talk to the villagers outside, so as to save people from waiting in vain."

As soon as the news was announced, the villagers outside wailed.

"I'm sorry everyone, there is really not much grain in the granary, and seeds can still be purchased as usual."

"It's been a long time waiting for nothing."

"There is no way to sell the food well."

"Then can we rent food tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow is fine, but I suggest that everyone come earlier, first come, first served, if you don't have everything, it will be sold out later."

Hearing that they could buy again tomorrow, the villagers calmed down a little.

"Fortunately, I can buy it tomorrow, but I can't buy it if I wait here and there. Don't delay the time to go back to do farm work."

"If I haven't borrowed food, I'll wait to buy some seeds. What if I can't rent food tomorrow."

"You are stupid. I heard from the person who rented grain in front that he would give away seeds if he rented grain here. Wouldn't it be a loss if you bought grain and rented grain tomorrow?"

"It's just a matter of reselling more seeds at that time. There's nothing wrong with it."

"Yes."

The villagers discussed a lot, some continued to stay to buy seeds, and some dispersed first. After a while, most of the people gathered outside the shop dispersed, and it seemed much cleaner after the transport guy took it away.

Zheng Jiangting took advantage of this moment to buy some fruit on the street and went to the nearby shop. Just now, his own business almost blocked the front of others, but fortunately, one is a funeral shop, and the other is an early morning shop. There were not many customers in the food shop and the funeral shop, so he gave fruit and some money, which should be regarded as an apology and a favor.

However, the owner of the breakfast shop wished that Zheng Jiang’s business would be good every day. Many villagers who came to buy food today did not eat breakfast. After eating in the breakfast shop, it brought business to the breakfast shop.

Since the surrounding shops had no complaints, Zheng Jiangting was relieved, and when he was about to leave the breakfast shop, there was a sudden noise outside.

"Sir, it's here."

Zheng Jiang listened to the strange voice outside, and squeezed to the door together with the owner of the breakfast shop, only to see several people dressed as yamen servants coming outside.

"Oh, why are the people from the yamen here? Is something wrong here?"

Zheng Jiangting has always been a down-to-earth and good citizen. Except for buying servants at home to go to the yamen to go through formalities, he has never been in contact with people in the yamen. Looking at it today, it seems that this battle is aimed at their shop.

Sure enough, the leading yamen servant led people into their shop, and Zheng Jiangting hurriedly followed after seeing the situation.

Zheng Huan and Zheng Le also didn't know what happened, they saw a group of people rushing into the yamen suddenly when the business was going well, everyone was shocked.

"Several officials, what's the matter?"

"Just now we heard a report that your shop disturbed the order of the street and occupied the site of other shops, but there is such a thing!"

Although the official is not tall, his voice is not small. Wearing a yamen uniform on his body can have the effect of superiority. Zheng Huan and Zheng Le were at a loss when they saw Zheng Jiang stop back, and he was relieved.

"What are you doing in a daze? The official came to visit, and he didn't make tea to quench the official's thirst." Zheng Jiang stopped and ordered Liushen Wuzhu's buddy, and then saluted a few yamen servants with a smile: "I don't know if the official is visiting. There is a long way to go."

The leader glanced at Zheng Jiang and said, "Are you the boss here?"

"Yes, it is the grass people."

"Did you hear what you said just now? Someone reported that you have too many guests outside, and your things are placed in a mess, blocking cars and horses from crossing the street."

"I heard it." Zheng Jiang stopped responding, and then said again: "My lord, the grassroots are really wronged. I run this shop on a small budget, and I opened it the day before today. There are only a few people who come to watch the excitement. It's really hard to talk about it." Disturbing order."

"Officer, look outside, there are only a dozen or so people lined up, how can they influence others."

The team leader saw it when he came, there were indeed not many, and it was not as exaggerated as the person who came to report said, but he also knew that these business people were cunning, and they might have gotten the news in advance and dismissed the guests.

Managing street order is not a small matter. At the beginning of the year, the streets were blocked by the people rushing to buy things. As a result, the passing horses were frightened, and the carriage overturned, causing a large family of women to have a miscarriage. All the yamen servants in charge of street order were deducted rewards.

The leader was noncommittal, turned around and went to the shop next door and called out the two bosses to ask, "Is the shop next door newly opened?"

Like quails, the two bosses hunched their backs and said honestly: "Master Hui, it was officially opened today."

"There are so many people here today, do you have any space at your door?"

Hearing this, the two bosses secretly turned their heads and looked at each other.

"Ask you!"

"My lord, there has never been. The business of a new shop will be slightly better when it opens, but the customers come and go quickly, and they don't take up our space."

The leader smacked, frowned, and looked at the two bosses honestly, the most important thing was to give them justice, and there was no need to lie.

"Okay, it's none of your business."

Zheng Jiangting heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had left the relationship just now, otherwise he would definitely be unlucky today. He cast a thankful look at the two bosses.

"How dare you make a false report, those two boys are so courageous, next time they meet you will have to throw them into a cell." The team leader cursed a few words, and then turned to Zheng Jiangting with a much more relaxed tone: " The magistrate of the county has ordered an investigation to interfere with your business."

"Your words are serious, the officials. Your impartiality and law enforcement are the blessings of our people." Zheng Jiangting respectfully said: "Several officials have been patrolling all morning, let's have a rest in the shop and have a drink of tea. The tea is ready."

The team leader saw that the tea benches had been set up, and he had cut a few plates of fruit, with a smile on his face: "Drinking tea is fine."

Zheng Jiang stopped to pour tea for others, and served a few rough old men with delicious food and drinks. The so-called cannibalism: "It seems that the little boss is such a governor that he will do things that disturb the order. It’s because there are too many places to sell grain in the city right now, and someone deliberately tripped the other family up.”

"These people should be punished, report indiscriminately, and hinder the work."

Zheng Jiangting only responded flatteringly: "We small merchants rely on the officials to make decisions. If all the officials come to Qingfeng Tower for a gathering in the future, I will definitely thank the officials for their insight."

"Yo, you opened Qingfeng Building?"

"No, it's the grassroots."

"Qingfenglou's lo mei is really a must. I have to go to the restaurant to buy some to drink at home after work every day."

Several yamen servants started chatterboxes when they heard Qingfeng Tower, talking about which dish is delicious, which dish goes well with wine, and how delicious the bottom ingredients of the seasoning shop are for cooking fish. In the end, Zheng Jiang stopped working and invited a few people to work at night. After eating food and wine in the restaurant, the few people who came with tiger faces walked away with smiles.

After seeing off the people, the shopkeepers and guests in the shop felt a little more relaxed. The two brothers Zheng Huan and Zheng Le looked at Zheng Jiangting adoringly: "Master, I really have you."

"When you see an official, you are as afraid as anything. We can be humble on the surface, but we can't be cowardly at the bottom. Whether it is to officials or to others, we will hone our skills in the future."

"We know." The two brothers agreed together.

"However, which turtle grandson reported us? The crowd was a bit chaotic in the morning, but it didn't hinder the traffic and horses crossing the street. Besides, the two bosses next door didn't say anything. What are the other people dissatisfied with? .”

Zheng Jiang stopped talking, but he probably knew something in his heart. I came across two probing people early this morning. I'm afraid it was their good deed. Thinking that he deliberately avoided the limelight, but the wind still blew.
