Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 163 Happy opening, cheap food

Because of driving the ox cart, the time to the town was shortened a lot.

When everyone arrived in the town, it was just around noon, and they rushed to eat before setting off, and now Jiang Zhiyue took them directly to the location in front of the grain store.

Although the opening of the grain shop is not as lively as those restaurants or pastry shops when they opened, but after all, it is their own shop, so they still have to cheer.

Apart from Jiang Zhiyue and his group, there were quite a few other people standing on the street outside the grain shop, but most of them just happened to pass by and stayed to watch the excitement.

Every time a new shop opens, the shopkeepers will spread happy money in front of the shop in order to show a happy and good meaning, so those who stay here are not standing here for no reason.

Old Mr. Bai stroked his beard, and the old god said, "Taiping Grain Shop, the name has a good meaning." "You opened this grain shop?"

Jiang Zhiyue reminded with a smile: "It's A Ming's shop, and the people belong to him. I'm just a shareholder." Old Mr. Bai smiled, but didn't answer, and looked up at the place covered with red silk above the shop.Now the plaque engraved with "Taiping Grain Shop" is being covered with red silk, and a string of firecrackers is placed on each side of the wide open door.Just at noon, Qin Jin walked out with Feng San and Feng Si.

Qin Jin smiled and said a few happy words, and asked Feng San and Feng Si to light the firecrackers.

When the firecrackers rang, they began to throw copper coins again, and those who moved quickly grabbed several of them.

Jiang Dalang raised his hand and caught a copper coin that was thrown towards them.

He wanted to hand it to Jiang Zhiyue, but Jiang Zhiyue stopped him and said with a smile: "This is a good sign, brother, keep it for yourself. When you go back, let your mother string it up with a red thread for you to hang around your neck."

Jiang Dalang laughed, how could he fail to hear that the little girl was teasing him.

"You ghostly little girl."

Jiang Dalang nodded Jiang Zhiyue's forehead, smiled and took the copper plate into his palm again.

While everyone outside was still bending over to fight for the copper coins, Feng San came out with a smooth and tall wooden board, on which were written the prices of various grains in the shop.

When there was no more copper plate on the ground to fight for, everyone looked up and saw the vertical plate in front of the shop.Immediately, a passer-by who could read read it in a low voice, and it turned out that the more he read it, the louder his voice became.

As for the reason, it was at least [-]% lower than the prices of the three original grain shops in the town.

Someone asked in surprise: "Shopkeeper, is what this man said true? Is the price of your grain really so?"

After finishing speaking, he murmured cautiously: "I'm afraid it's not that some son came out to play around. He didn't inquire about the price before opening the shop."

Qin Jin and the others were afraid that no one would ask, so he replied with a smile: "The price is just like what the little brother said just now, and the price will never go wrong."

In fact, the price written on the wooden board they brought out was not cheap compared to usual years.It's just that compared with the current food price, it is indeed a better choice.

This is more than twice as high as the grain price of the previous year.

Someone laughed and said, "You named Taiping because your food prices are cheaper than others', right?"

Qin Jin smiled without saying a word, and did not answer this question.

However, the price of grain at Taiping Grain Shop was so low that many people questioned it.

Someone asked puzzledly: "Your grain prices are so low, wouldn't it be all grains that are mixed with old grains and moldy and spoiled for sale?"

After saying this, the other excited people calmed down and waited for Qin Jin to explain.

Qin Jin was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Everyone can check when they buy grain, and now the grain is in the store, so if you have any doubts, you can go in and ask for verification."

Immediately, several people walked in, and Jiang Dalang also joined in the fun and went in to have a look.

The door of the shop was open, and those who stood outside could see what was going on inside, and those who entered stooped down and stretched out their hands, grabbed a handful of rice in the grain bag and put it in their hands to watch.

The shop is so big, not everyone can go in and take a look, so those outside can only ask anxiously: "Is the food moldy?"
The person inside didn't answer, but excitedly went to the other open grain bags and grabbed a handful to look carefully.

In order to prevent the store from putting the good food on the top and the second-class food on the bottom to make up for it, they even fished it with their hands down.

But without exception, the grains held in the palms of the hands are full of grains.

"How are you doing?"

The people outside couldn't help asking again.

One of them walked out excitedly, and said loudly, "It's all good grain, much better than the other grain shops in our town."

Immediately afterwards, other people who went in also came out, echoing what that person said.

Some people immediately turned around and asked Feng San to weigh ten catties of grain for him, as if they were afraid that there would be no more.Jiang Dalang came out of the grain shop and returned to the Jiang family.

Thinking about the food that I saw in the shop just now, it is indeed much better than what I usually see.

And precisely this kind of grain, Jiang Dalang happens to often see it at his home.

He seldom sees his family members buying grain, and the grain in the tank always increases gradually before it runs out.The women in the family basically knew it well, and no one asked about it.

Thinking about Jiang Zhiyue just saying that this shop belongs to Ouyang Ming, then there is something that I don't understand.

It must be something conjured from my sister's little treasure box again, and it is sold under Ouyang Ming's name.

Jiang Dalang thought about it a little more, but the quality of the grain Jiang Zhiyue brought out was of good quality and the price was lower than the current one, which was considered a matter of benefiting the people, so he ignored it.

The fact that the man turned around and bought ten catties of grain just now shocked them, wondering if it was really that good?
Everyone wanted to squeeze in when they saw this, so Qin Jin could only stand up and stop the noisy crowd.

What a joke, the price he set is to attract other grain households to attack them. If the grain is gone before the fifteenth of this month, how can he implement the strategy.

Qin Jin obviously forgot what Jiang Zhiyue said about not having to worry about food when implementing the strategy they said.

He said loudly: "Everyone, don't worry, all the food in the store will not increase in price, and there is enough food."

"Everyone only needs to come back when there is a shortage of food at home."

Qin Jin's words really calmed some people's hearts, but a few people saw the gratifying and full grain and bought three or two catties to go back.

There was a lot of noise in front of the grain store, and the Jiang family left after watching the excitement.

They came to the town not only to watch the excitement, but also to tidy up the house.

Jiang Zhiyue brought her mother and second aunt here because she wanted to be the shopkeeper and leave the house decoration to them.

As for Jiang Dalang and the others, they will naturally be treated as bags for a while.

Sanjin's house is on the street behind the grain shop, Jiang Zhiyue led the crowd around and arrived at the place.Jiang Zhiyue took out the key and opened the big lock hanging on the door, and led everyone in.

This house occupies a large area, and Jiang Zhiyue didn't look carefully at all the places, so he and the Jiang family went around all the houses.

They turned around and made arrangements: "The main courtyard is cleaned up for parents to live in, old Mr. Bai and Uncle you also live in this courtyard, and a small courtyard is cleaned up as a guest room, and the rest of the courtyard is cleaned up for us to live in."

Every time Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Sun came to each room, they would carefully look at each room, and then talk about what things to add.Jiang Dalang and the others alternately memorized what the two said.

Because of helping Jiang Zhiyue record the storybook, Jiang Dalang and the others were able to handle this matter with ease.

There are all kinds of rockery walls and stones in the courtyard, which looks quite elegant. Even old Mr. Bai said that Jiang Zhiyue bought this courtyard at a bargain.

Mr. Bai said: "You have left such a large yard here, you should also buy some servants, so that you can do the cleaning and cooking on a daily basis."

Jiang Zhiyue nodded in agreement, "It's true that we should buy a few more people, and we need to buy a companion for the elder brother and the others. They have someone who can order errands when they are studying on weekdays."

Everyone agreed and planned to go to the dental clinic to see if there was a suitable person.

But before that, they still have to make a big purchase.

After tidying up the yard, Jiang Yuchao and the others can live here directly without having to run away.

There are bed cabinets and desks in several rooms in the main courtyard, as well as in several courtyards next to them, so they only need to buy some necessities such as bedding to move in.

After walking around to the back, Mrs. Zhang looked at the small closed door suspiciously and asked, "Isn't there also a room behind this door?"

Mrs. Zhang pulled out the bolt as she spoke, and entered another courtyard.

Qin Jin, Feng San and Feng Si are both in the shop in front, so at first glance it looks very quiet here.

Mrs. Zhang asked: "Hey? This courtyard is well tidied up, but why do you use such a wooden door?" After all, the other small courtyards connected to each other are separated by crescent-shaped hollow doors.

After looking at it twice, I felt that something was wrong. It seemed that someone lived here.

Jiang Zhiyue hurriedly stopped her mother who was about to push Qin Jin's hand away from the bedroom, and explained: "This house and the grain store are connected together, and the connection is the small door."

"Yo, that's how it is."

"Then we came in without saying hello, wouldn't it be too good." Jiang Zhiyue said with a smile, "I'll just tell Shopkeeper Qin later." "Then can we see the inside of the shop from here?"

Except for Jiang Dalang who went in just now, none of them could go in and take a look.

Although this grain store was no different from other grain stores, Jiang Zhiyue's shareholding was considered half of his own store after all, which aroused everyone's curiosity, and they all walked over to look at it lightly.

The small door on the front of the shop connected to the yard could see the situation inside the shop, so everyone lowered their voices and glanced at it.

Although Qin Jin said that, there are quite a few people in the shop, and everyone will buy something when they come in.

After looking at it for a while and finding it boring, the Jiang family went back and planned to go shopping and buy all the things they bought.
