Ding Tian's Ancient Life

But not long after, Ding Tian discovered that many people came to the city to sell the output of the field.

Because he came from Dingjia Village, he lived in his new house. At the beginning, he deliberately repaired several more rooms in the house, and now they are all full.

There are grains, miscellaneous grains, and some mature chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, etc.

He also saw Ding Kan: "Brother Kan, are you here to sell food?"

"I don't even want to sell food anymore." Ding Kan was worried.

"What's the matter? Isn't this year a bumper harvest?" Although the tax has been paid this year, the weather is going well this year, so why are you listless?

"Do you know how much the newly opened grain store charges?"

"I don't know?" The "Fengdeng" grain shop opened by the county magistrate's wife's cousin is said to be a chain. The "Fengdeng" from the south has real rice from the south of the Yangtze River and sorghum from the north.

He also planned to buy two catties of rice back. Although he was a northerner before, he could still eat rice. But now that he is here, it is not easy to buy rice, because there are few paddy fields and more dry fields in the north, all of which are high-yielding. crops such as corn, drought-tolerant wheat, and sorghum.

However, the price of grain purchased is not enough.

"A catty of wheat costs two pennies, sorghum, corn, and soybeans are all one penny, miscellaneous grains, no matter what is a catty, one penny, one penny!" Brother Kan was a little discouraged: "How much food do we have all year round? This little grain How much can you sell..."

Ding Tian was also a little angry when he heard the price.

There is only such a grain store, but you can't buy it at a low price?

"I'll go and have a look." Ding Tian changed into casual clothes and went over to weigh ten catties of rice, which actually cost him two taels of silver.He also asked by the way: "How do you sell this wheat?"

"Wheat is five cents a catty, flour is seven cents a catty, fine white flour is ten cents a catty..." The waiter quickly quoted the price: "Coarse grains are cheap, sorghum rice and corn are three cents, cornmeal is five cents, miscellaneous grains and so on It’s all three renminbi, oh, soybeans are four renminbi, and bean curd is not bad...but the people in charge don’t like to eat this food very much, my rice is a good thing, it’s from the south, you can eat it at ease, it’s guaranteed to be fragrant!”

Ding Tian went back with the rice, and then saw that Ding Kan was still at the market. This time, there were many people selling grain in the market, all of whom were villagers from various villages.

The grain is lower than the grain store, but the purchase price is higher than the grain store, but the autumn harvest, there is a lot of grain at this time, who buys so much to go home?

There is only one grain store in the entire county, and the price is kept so low.

This made Ding Tian very angry. Ding Kan had sent his rent to their house and kept it in storage. In addition, the family kept enough food and grain seeds, and the rest would be sold for money. Which doesn't cost money.

The common people have planted the fields for a year, and they are so tired that they can’t straighten their waists. Now that they have grain, they have to buy it at a low price, but the price of the grain store has more than doubled. This is the price after the autumn harvest. The next spring will start , it is estimated that food prices will rise even more.

"They are the only grain store in the county now, alas!" Ding Kan sighed, "We have to sell it to them in the end.

"Grain store..." Ding Tian thought for a moment, "Can we open one too?"

Ding Kan looked at him strangely: "You want to open a grain store?"

"I don't open it, I just buy some food temporarily." Ding Tian laughed: "I won't open it now."

But it does not mean that it will not be opened in the future. Only when there is competition can the price increase be possible.

Looking back, Ding Tian went back to Dingjia Village, and said to his second uncle and the others: "I don't know how to do other business in my place. I want to open a grain store, but don't say anything for now. I sell all the grain in the village to me." , some are stored in my old house, some are stored in the shop, and I plan to open it after the New Year.”

"Grain stores... that's fine. Grain is extremely expensive in the spring." The second uncle supported him: "Don't worry, I'll take you to tell the old village head about this matter. Let's buy the grain from our own village first."

Selling to whom is not selling. The grain store opened by my family is of course supporting my family.
