I farmed in ancient times

As the sun set in the west mountain, Cen Daonian returned home after helping out in the village, and called to Xiao Chao'an, who was enjoying himself at Uncle Shi's house, by the way.

Compared to when he first came here, Cen Chaoan is much fatter. Now his little face is as shiny as jade, rosy and rosy. No matter how you look at it, he is so cute. He squeezed Cen Chaoan's chubby paws, "Have you written today's big characters?"

Cen Chaoan grabbed his father's sleeve shyly, and said guiltily, "Not yet."

"It's getting so dark, my brother said it's not good to write at night." Zhao An looked at his father, and the words "I want to be lazy" were almost written on his face.

"Go back and make it up." Cen Daonian mercilessly interrupted Cen Chaoan's desire to be lazy.

"Okay." Cen Chaoan pursed his lips, pulled his father's sleeve and continued walking.

A puff of bluish-white smoke rose from the chimney of the East Kitchen, dissipating in the rays of the sun.

"Brother has come back!" Cen Chaoan cheered, let go of the chubby claws and ran home, while Jue Ming stroked his little head and took out the nougat he bought for him.

Sitting on the small wooden chair, Cen Chaoan unwrapped the boxy sugar packets, took out one, and stuffed it into Cen Daonian's mouth. Cen Daonian ate one along his youngest son's hand, and praised: "Well, really. sweet."

Cen Chaoan peeled another one and went to the kitchen to look for his brother, but Caesar had nothing to do, so he turned his head and asked Chaoan to feed him one, urging him to wash his hands and eat later.

Cen Chaoan finally stuffed one into his mouth, the size of the candy was the smallest, and he muttered inarticulately: "I'm fucked!"

The meal was ready, and two dishes were fried and served on the table. The family of three gathered around the table and had dinner happily.

Cen Daonian didn't ask Caesar what he was doing in the county today, and Cassia didn't take the initiative to ask.

The next day, Cassia still went to the county seat early.

The copper money given by the shopkeeper was more than enough to eat. Wang Ergou got up early in the morning to eat, bought a rag, and cleaned the whole shop from start to finish.

There was movement on the first floor, and Wang Ergou quickly went downstairs, with his big white teeth bared, his eyes narrowed into slits, looking beaming, and enthusiastically said: "Shopkeeper, are you here?"

"En." With hands behind his back, Jue Ming pretended to be an old god, and pointed to Wang Ergou, "Let's just buy these three bags of seeds today."

"Okay!" Wang Ergou responded, rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hand to move the half-person-high jumbo sack, blushed with all his strength, and the sack only moved an inch.

"Hey!" Jue Ming stopped him, "I've already called someone over, why are you in such a hurry."

Wang Ergou scratched his head, "Shopkeeper, you treat me so well, I always think that I can't be idle and I have to do something."

——What a sincere person.

The two stood at the door of the shop, and Jue Ming muttered to Wang Ergou, teaching him how to sell seeds later.

"What? The price is so low?" Wang Ergou was puzzled, "Then what profit do we have?"

——Business without capital, what else do you need to make money?As long as you sell it, you will make a profit.

Of course, you can't say this directly to Wang Ergou. Jueming only said that the big boss has a kind heart and specially took it out to help the victims rebuild their homes.

The two people pulling the wooden cart came over, and the four of them joined forces, put three bags of seeds on the cart, and came to the street of Fangshi, Yangxian County.

The Song Dynasty had already broken the boundaries between Fangshi, but most people were used to doing business in Fangshi. Yang County was managed by Shen Yan. The places in Fangshi were well planned, and everyone set up stalls according to their numbers.

In addition to the fixed stall location, there is also a free area. Whoever comes early can choose a good location, and whoever comes late can only be wronged in the corner.

Moreover, there is no tax for setting up a stall here. If you open a shop, you have to pay another tax. Jueming can't afford fifty copper coins in his whole body now. Besides, the small shop is still some distance away from the market. So far to buy seeds?

Due to the late arrival, there was only one remote corner next to the courtyard wall, and the four of them worked together to unload the three bags of seeds.

Cassia took out a brush, wrote down the price on the small wooden sticks he just bought, and placed them on the three opened bags of seeds respectively.

Rice seeds, wheat seeds, and bean seeds are all ten cents a catty.

At this price, it is more than enough to buy it back for a meal. For a while, many people watching the excitement gathered around the stall, but no one came to buy it.

Wang Ergou was in a hurry, holding the seeds and said to the people: "Dear uncles and aunts passing by, our seeds are really good seeds!"

We all know that this is a good seed, but the price is so low, is there something tricky in it?

"Fathers and folks, at home, under the order of Mr. Shiwen, we specially opened the grain depot in the government, took out the seeds stored in it, and sold them at this price, so that the people would not loot them, and it would also allow everyone to survive this time. It's been a tough time." Caesar Ming said clearly, "Today is the first day, all seeds are half price!"

Five cents a catty!Even if it is to buy white noodles, it is more than this price!The minds of the people began to become active, and it was much better to buy rice noodles for [-] or [-] Wen in the city.

"But!" Jue Ming continued: "Mr. Shiwen of my family has great powers. If he knows who bought it for grinding flour and rice, he won't come to Yang County to sell seeds again."

"Besides, the low-priced rice noodles will be delivered in two days. If you buy them ready-made, wouldn't it save you money and energy?" Jue Ming drew a big cake for the people. They all put away their active thoughts, thinking about how much land they have at home waiting to be planted.

At present, the season for planting early rice has passed, although it is a bit early for planting late rice, it is better to be prepared.

Such cheap seeds can't be found even with lanterns. The people rushed to tell each other and came to buy seeds with bags.

"Uncles and ladies, please line up! Come one by one! Each person is limited to one bucket of each item!" Wang Xiaoer took out the wooden bucket, put it in the bag, and waited for the people to line up. Put the seeds to the people.

All of a sudden, the whole street became lively, and the common people held bags in their hands and looked at the people in front of them eagerly, for fear that Wang Ergou would run out of shopping when it was their turn.

Although Wang Ergou is not very old, he is very clever. He tried his best to show himself and let Jue Ming know that he did not choose the wrong person.

Seeing that Wang Ergou was able to take care of the business for the time being, shopkeeper Cassia informed him and walked to the small shop by the river.

Money in ancient times was really hard to earn. Even if the bags of seeds were so large, they would cost less than half a penny even if they were all sold out.

Even if it is sold at the current market price, fifty coins a bucket, those three bags can buy about three copper coins.

In this comparison, Wang Ergou's "worth" of more than 700 texts is only worth a large bag of rice.

Cassia clicked his tongue.

Back at the shop, Caesar added some vegetables and put them together for sale.

After tossing about all this, Jueming went out to find the man pulling the wooden cart.

Walking a few steps forward, there are many people who live by pulling wooden carts and doing coolies near the warehouse. They asked several people to move two large carts together and transport them to Fangshi, the county seat.

Wang Xiaoer felt that his brain was going to explode today.

There were crowded people all around. If it wasn't for the thin cloth used to set up the stall to block the front, the people behind might have squeezed Wang Ergou into a meat sauce.

At this point, Wang Ergou still felt uncomfortable. Although the group of people lined up neatly and did not fight or fight, some of them kept checking, and some shouted loudly, like a thousand ducks crowded in their heads. .

"Wang Ergou." Jue Ming beckoned to Ergou. Seeing that the shopkeeper finally came, Wang Ergou heaved a sigh of relief, got out from behind the flimsy thin cloth, and shouted angrily: "The shopkeeper is here!" ——You are finally here."

When the people who waited for the seeds saw that the Lord was coming, they were like a rooster that had choked its throat, and could no longer croak. They stood quietly and stared at the several big sacks behind Cassia Ming.

Cassia hurriedly called people to carry the sacks to the ground, explained the changes in the number of seeds, and said that there would be more seeds waiting for them in a small shop by the river in a few days. Those who did not bring any money today and wanted to tell the folks, just Come.

Hearing this quasi-letter, the common people immediately broke out again, saying that selling good seeds at a low price for a day or two is not considered a relief, but just an act of kindness so that the price of good seeds is not so high.

If you want to sell for a few days in a row, then it is really a good deed.

"However, our Shiwen Grain Shop has a rule that all people who come to buy grain or seeds must have flooded their homes. Don't blame me, the shopkeeper." Jueming said, humming and sneering, "If you find such a person, you will be closed for three days."

Even if the person who was discovered did not punish him substantially, the common people could drown him with a mouthful of spittle. If it was discovered that some grain shop in the county sent someone to resell it, at least the common people would not go to his house for a short time. shopping.

What's more, this newly opened Shiwen grain shop has a lower price, why not buy it from him?

In the square market, there are not only vendors who sell vegetables and live poultry, but also vendors who sell all kinds of food. Today happened to be the day when the yamen rested, and Shen Yan took his son out to drink and make glutinous rice balls. The people queuing up to buy cheap seeds over there were twists and turns, from the East Market to the West Market.

The noisy people naturally attracted Shen Yan's attention.

"Why is it so lively over there?" Shen Yan put down the spoon, and wiped Shen Mo's mouth with a silk handkerchief. Shen Mo's two round black eyes rolled around, and he pulled his father's sleeve, "Daddy, look."

The entourage at the side said: "My lord, there seems to be someone selling seeds at a low price, saying that they are doing good deeds."

You can't use this method to do good deeds. If the price is too low and damages the market, the big grain shops in Yang County are not vegetarians.

"Come on, let's go and have a look." Shen Yan picked up Shen Mo, left a copper plate on the wooden table, and followed the queue to the queue.

From a distance, Shen Yan saw a handsome young man standing in the middle of the team. The young man had his hair tied up and was wearing a short white robe.

The young man's dark eyes were as bright as stars, and the smile on his face was like the sun in the sky in May, which made people feel a little dazzling.
