Chapter 114

After Jiang Xianwei helped them out, a few families in Dafeng Village showed kindness to them. When they saw them come back from closing their stalls, they took the initiative to say hello: "Brother Gu, you are back from closing your stalls. How is the business today? It's very prosperous, right?" ?”

The person who asked the question was He Laoguo who lives in Houcun.

He Laoguo is sixty years old this year, and his family has five sons and thirteen grandchildren. The population is very prosperous, but they are poor. Now the whole family is still crowded in a dirt yard, relying on the family's fifteen acres of land to live.

He dreamed of wanting to make his family rich. Seeing that Qin Gu Luotian's tofu business was doing well, he wanted to establish a good relationship with them.Thinking of Qin Gu Luotian's family, if they ask for help, they will think of his family.

As for the Lu family's revenge?

Pooh!

His family is almost out of control, so are they afraid of revenge from the Lu family?

The third grandfather smiled and said: "It's okay, it's about the same as usual."

The third grandpa didn't say clearly how the family's business is, but said: "Brother He, our family is collecting soybeans, and they cost three Wen a catty. If your family has soybeans that you want to sell, you can sell them to our family, and we will take whatever you want."

He Laoguo was startled. He who was squatting could not help but stand up and asked, "What Brother Gu said is true? Your family accepts soybeans for three cents a catty? Do you not lower the price?"

Soybeans worth three renminbi a catty were the price of grain shops. They sold them to the grain shop for only three pennies per catty. The price the Gu family gave was twice as high.

The third grandpa smiled and said, "No lower price."

When Old Guo He got the exact words, he couldn't sit still any longer, and hurriedly said, "Brother Gu, wait, I'll bring soybeans to your house."

He Laoguo hurried into his yard and shouted: "Big seedlings, two seedlings and three seedlings, you bastards, hurry up and bring the soybeans at home for me, and send them to your Uncle Gu's."

The third grandpa and the others continued to walk towards the old house at the end of the village, and when they got home, they told the big guy about collecting soybeans.

Mrs. Chen was pounding spices at Gu Jinli's house. Knowing that the price of soybeans at the grain store had risen, she was so angry that she scolded shopkeeper Tao: "I have already seen that it is not a good thing. You look like a dog, but you are actually a profiteer with a rotten heart." , specially eats the flesh and blood of our peasants, I bah, curse him for having a son without a penis, and giving birth to a daughter is a little woman's life!"

After scolding, he said: "It's not bad for us to collect beans ourselves, and we can also lower the price."

She knew that the grain shop received only two catties and three Wen for soybeans.

The third grandpa said: "We collect three Wen coins per catty, so we can't lower the price, but we must be careful when collecting beans, and we can't collect bad beans that are moldy or moth-eaten."

When Chen heard that she couldn't lower the price, she immediately lost interest. If she couldn't lower the price, what else would she earn?

The third grandma and the others were also very angry when they heard about the increase in the price of soybeans at the grain store, but when they saw the four hundred catties of soybeans that Luo's father, Qin Sanlang, and the others picked back, they felt that the beans they collected were not bad. In this way, they have the final say, so they don't have to worry about it anymore.

The third grandfather and the others rested for a while, and He Laoguo brought his eldest son, Erer and Saner to Gu's house carrying soybeans.

He Laoguo went to the village chief's house to borrow a large scale, and at this moment, holding the big scale, he said: "Brother Gu, we have delivered the soybeans, please weigh them, how many catties are there?"

The third grandfather said: "Let's look at the beans first."

"It should be, Brother Gu, take a look."

The third grandpa and Luo's father checked the three loads of soybeans in He Laoguo's house. Seeing that the soybeans were very dry, not moldy or worm-eaten, they nodded and said, "The beans are good, let's call them beans."

He Laoguo hurriedly asked his three sons to use the big name to call soybeans.

"Uncle Gu, the total weight is 320 six catties." He Laoguo's eldest son, He Damiao, said.

After the third grandfather heard the weight, he calculated the money and counted 970 eight Wen coins to He Laoguo: "Here, this is the bean money."

He Laoguo took the money excitedly, his eyes almost turned red: "I have been growing soybeans all my life, and this price is the best ever. Don't worry, Brother Gu, I will sell all my beans to you in the future. If your family doesn't want them, I'll sell it to someone else."

No matter what others think of Qin Gu Luotian's family, He Laoguo thinks that these families have real skills. Who escaped from the famine can get acquainted with the county captain and make friends with the county captain's son-in-law?

Which fleeing famine can afford to make a living?Or is it this kind of fresh money-making business?

He Laoguo wanted to make friends with Qin Gu Luotian's family, so he said to the third grandfather: "Brother Gu, if your family collects beans, you must pay attention to He Laosi and He Daqian, they are all from the old He family. You can't let them cheat you for the famous broken households."

The third grandpa also wanted to make friends with an honest person like He Laoguo, so he asked the third grandma to take out a plate of bean dregs cakes and distribute them to He Laoguo and his three sons. After a while, I chatted with He Laoguo a lot, and learned some things about the He family.

He Laoguo is a sensible person, after reminding him what should be reminded, he took the money, took his three sons, and went home happily.

Before leaving, he also said to the third grandfather: "Brother Gu, if your family needs a big name, you can rent it from He Shiliu's house. He Shiliu's family has a big name, and you can use it once for a penny."

Village Chief He's family name doesn't need money, but now I don't know what village chief He's attitude is and whether he will help Gu's family, so it's better to spend some money to rent a big name from He Shiliu's family.

"Hey, I see. Thank you, brother He, for reminding me." After the third grandfather sent He Laoguo and his family away, he stayed at home, waiting for the beans to be harvested.

Gu Jinli took over from Gu Dashan and Gu Jinan to make tofu and sent them to work in the wasteland.

Before dark, another family in the village came to sell soybeans. It was He Laoguo's younger brother's family. This family was also poor. They sold a total of [-] catties of soybeans and went home happily with one to two hundred Wen. up.

In less than half a day, they harvested a thousand catties of soybeans.

Because of the soybean collection, after counting the money at night, the third grandfather did not share the money, but said: "There will be people selling soybeans tomorrow, so the money will not be divided, and we have to keep it to buy soybeans."

Chen's heart ached: "Sanbo, we have harvested a thousand catties of soybeans today, which is already enough, don't collect them tomorrow, we will never use them up after collecting so much."

Gu Jinli said: "The soybeans must be harvested, and they must be harvested in large quantities. I am not afraid of harvesting tens of thousands of catties."

She explained: "Why did shopkeeper Tao dare to raise the price for us? That's because he is the only grain store in the whole town. He has monopolized the supply of soybeans. We didn't buy soybeans from him today. He is not in a hurry. But if he knows that after we collect soybeans, he will definitely be anxious, and then he will take action and use his contacts to start harvesting soybeans in large quantities."

"Qingfu Town is so big, soy beans are limited. At that time, we will not be able to collect soy beans if we want to. We have to collect more soy beans before Shopkeeper Tao makes a move, so as to win him."

This incident is just the beginning, shopkeeper Tao must have another move.

The adults of the family were persuaded, and although Mrs. Chen was heartbroken that she didn't get any money tonight, she still agreed.

Aunt Tian was timid and asked Gu Jinli worriedly: "We are foreigners, what should we do if shopkeeper Tao encourages people in Qingfu Town not to sell us soybeans?"

Gu Jinli said: "There are no soybeans in Qingfu Town. We can go to the two nearby towns to collect them. If not, we can go to the county town to buy them. These soybeans are not expensive things. If this one doesn't sell them, there will always be others."

In short, this is not a problem, and shopkeeper Tao feels that he is arrogant, thinking that as long as the price of soybeans is raised, he can control them.
