After time travel, I became the first richest woman in Lizhao

Chapter 111 Field Research
Su Yixiang smiled, and said: "What's the hurry, isn't it that the new food hasn't arrived yet, I still want to see the situation."

The man nodded.

"I don't know what the price of our new grain is?" Su Yixiang asked.

The man stretched out his hand and said, "This year's grain harvest is not good, and the price of grain may not be cheap, 600 a stone."

When Su Yixiang heard that the price of grain was similar to that in Yunzhou, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "If I knew this, why would I come to you to buy grain?"

Hearing this, the man smiled and said, "My lord, this year is not as good as previous years! I heard that there has been no rain in the north since the Chinese New Year. Whether we can keep our grain this year is another story! If we can't keep our grain, then our grain Not to mention 600 Wen, there are still a lot of people rushing to buy 800 Wen!"

"Hmph!" Su Yixiang snorted coldly: "You Duoliantou is a big organization, but you haven't included all the food stores in Runzhou and the people's food in your bag, have you? If I don't buy from you, let alone 600 You won’t get even 1 article.”

The man pondered for a while, as if he was thinking about it, then raised his head and said sadly: "Young master is right. Although our firm has some strength, we can't monopolize all the grain in Runzhou. Since you intend to patronize our business, Then naturally I can't treat you badly. How about it, you say a price, and I'll see if it's suitable or not. "

Su Yixiang glanced at Lu Guangkui, Lu Guangkui stretched out 3 fingers, 300 Wen?impossible!The minimum price for food in one's own land is 450 renminbi. How is it possible to sell 300 renminbi?

Su Yixiang pretended not to see Lu Guangkui's gesture, and said, "I think 400 is more appropriate."

After the man listened, he was silent for a moment, and Su Yixiang couldn't see what he was thinking.

Lu Guangkui gave a dry cough and signaled Su Yixiang to go outside.

Su Yixiang raised his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

When he came to the lobby outside, Lu Guangkui said sadly, "Didn't you see that I was gesturing to you? Didn't I say 300 Wen? Why did you bid 400 Wen?"

Su Yixiang said: "Brother, 400 Wen is already low enough! Our own food needs to sell at least 450 Wen per stone!"

"Oh, brother Su, I think you have misunderstood! Their grain in Runzhou is 100 catties per stone, and our Yunzhou grain is 120 catties per stone. There is a difference!"

Su Yixiang suddenly realized, and regretted that he hadn't thought of this level.

The two returned to the room, and the man said kindly, "Since the two of you are sincere, let's also show some sincerity. 400 Wen is 400 Wen. Let's earn less. Let's sign the contract now."

Su Yixiang was a little embarrassed, Lu Guangkui said: "Shopkeeper Li wait a moment, we are here not only to buy food, but also to see other specialties in Runzhou, wait a few more days for us to buy other small things before signing this contract. "

The man's face darkened for a moment, and then he said enthusiastically: "Let's sign the contract first, how about I send someone to visit Runzhou with you? You two are newcomers, and you must not know where to buy special products cheaply. With our people accompanying you, You will definitely be able to buy something of high quality and low price.”

Lu Guangkui laughed loudly, and said: "No need, we are used to being idle, so don't bother us."

Saying that, he dragged Su Yixiang away.

"Farewell." Su Yixiang clapped his hands and followed Lu Guangkui out.

"What should I do, how can I bargain with him in the future?" Su Yixiang was a little distressed, he couldn't say that he didn't understand the market!
"Hey, don't worry about it for now, let's go to the bar and ask the local farmer after drinking. With the reserve price, we will know how to bargain with him."

Su Yixiang frowned, it's not because of this...

Lu Guangkui still dragged him to drink.

Lu Guangkui was a man who was never drunk and never returned. He drank four or five jars in a row and fell asleep on the table. How could he ask the peasants.

Su Yixiang smiled wryly, and had no choice but to order Ah Cheng to find a carriage and take him back to the inn together.

Since you have nothing to do, why not go out for a stroll.

Su Yixiang inquired about the location of the market, and took Ah Cheng along.

Due to the rain, there were not many people setting up stalls on the street.

Su Yixiang wandered along the shops one by one.

"Hey, there is a food store here, go in and ask."

"Does the guest want to buy rice?" The shopkeeper saw someone coming in and hurriedly greeted him warmly.

Su Yixiang walked in and looked at all kinds of rice displayed in wooden barrels.

"We have high-grade rice, medium-grade rice and low-grade rice here. High-grade rice costs 450 ren per stone, medium-grade rice costs 400 ren per stone, and low-grade rice costs 350 ren per stone. What kind of rice do you want?"

Su Yixiang carefully looked at each type of rice. The grains of the top-grade rice were plump and free of impurities, while the grains of the medium-grade rice were either full or shriveled, good or bad.Inferior rice has rough rice grains with broken grains and occasional pebbles, so it needs to be washed carefully when bought back.

"Can it be any cheaper?" Su Yixiang asked.

"How much does the guest officer want? If you want more, we can discuss it."

"Ten thousand stones."

"Ten thousand stones?" The shopkeeper was a little surprised, couldn't help but smile, turned around and went back to the front desk to pour a cup of tea for Su Yixiang, then brought out a chair, and said, "Guest officer, please sit here."

Su Yixiang walked over and sat down.

The man asked, "What kind of rice does the guest officer want?"

Su Yixiang pointed to the inferior rice.

The man pondered for a while, and said, "If you want 300 shi for this kind of rice, I'll give you [-] shi for a shi."

Su Yixiang nodded slightly, Lu Guangkui really understood the market.

He stood up slowly and said, "I'll look elsewhere."

The shopkeeper thought that he was dissatisfied with the price, so he hurriedly said: "Don't go, guest, where do you live? I will visit the door in person some other day, and we can discuss the price again."

Su Yixiang left his address.

After going out, he suddenly felt that there are still many ways to get food, and he needs to know more about a few.

So all afternoon, he and Ah Cheng searched for rice shops one by one, comparing prices and quality one by one.

The low-grade rice of one of them cost 280 Wen, but Su Yixiang was not satisfied with its quality, because there were too many pebbles mixed in, so it was not as good as the 300 Wen per stone.

After walking around for a while, Su Yixiang took Ah Cheng to dinner and went back to the inn.

On the second day, Lu Guangkui knocked on Su Yixiang's door early and apologized embarrassedly.

Then the two came to the countryside of Runzhou to investigate together.

I saw that there are continuous paddy fields here, and the rice is green and already heading, but the grains are not yet full.

Think about it, the wheat in Yunzhou hasn't headed yet.

Su Yixiang had mixed feelings in his heart at the moment.

On the road, I ran into a farmer catching fish in the field.

Su Yixiang stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Old man, what kind of fish are you raising?"

The old farmer grabbed a fish and showed it to him: "The crucian carp hasn't grown up yet."

Su Yixiang saw that the fish was alive and kicking, and it must be very fresh in the pot now, so he asked, "Old man, how about going to your house for lunch today? I'll pay for your meal!"

The old farmer smiled and said, "Oh, what's so great about having a meal, just come here! I'll grab two more and I'll be back in a while."

Su Yixiang heard that he wanted to catch fish, so he couldn't help but rolled up his trouser legs and went out to the field.

When Lu Guangkui saw that he had already left the field, he couldn't wait to follow him.

There are quite a lot of fish in this field!
Not long after, Lu Guangkui caught a grass carp weighing more than ten kilograms, and he was very happy.

Su Yixiang has only caught fish before, and has never caught fish by himself. He watched the fish swimming around in front of his eyes, but he couldn't catch any of them in his anxiety.
