I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 378 Selling Grain

Bai Yunxi said hello with a smile and never mentioned those unpleasant things.

 Since she came by chance, she might as well just sell the grain to save trouble.

Shopkeeper Wang closed the account book and cupped his hands. This was the lady who held the title of the deceased man. He already knew it a while ago.

No wonder she looked so noble in every move she made. She was definitely not an ordinary village woman.

"It's just that my sister-in-law didn't come. I've been having a lot of trouble these days, but fortunately it's over. I wonder if my sister-in-law is here today to buy or sell grain?"

“Of course I’m selling grain. Isn’t it the summer harvest? I have some grain in hand and I want to sell some of it to supplement my family income. I wonder what the price is today?”

Hearing Bai Yunxi's tone, shopkeeper Wang walked out of the counter, invited her to sit on the chair next to her, and poured her a cup of tea.

“Sister-in-law, you must have heard about the war in the northwest, right?”

“My cousin at home has told me something, but I don’t know the details. I am also worried about the unrest outside, so I only ordered the children to go out less, so the food from the summer harvest has not been released.”

Hearing Bai Yunxi’s tone, Shopkeeper Wang nodded.

"My sister-in-law is a lucky person at first glance. Grain prices have risen a lot recently. The government has issued a document prohibiting the continued increase in grain prices. The price of new rice is set at 250 ren per dou and brown rice at 150 ren per dou. Wheat costs 200 cents per dou, and black flour is the cheapest at 70 cents per dou.”

Shopkeeper Wang said, pointing outside,

“Because of the rising food prices, there have been a lot of people making trouble in the town recently, and everyone has a sense of hostility. My sister-in-law has been walking out recently, so she should be more careful.”

During this period, she heard a lot of fights from Xiao Si. Bai Yunxi nodded clearly.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Wang, for reminding me. I have some new rice and wheat in my hand. The quantity is not small. They have been transported to the town. Shopkeeper Wang also knows that there is some instability at the moment. I don't want to be too ostentatious. I wonder if Shopkeeper Wang can send someone Come to collect it?"

 After their scientific farming of the wasteland at home, the yield of wheat reached 500 jins per acre, and 10,000 jins of wheat were harvested from 20 acres of land. An acre of rice yields 400 catties, and ten acres yields nearly 4,000 jin of rice.

 According to the conversion of the Song Dynasty, one dou is equal to twelve catties.

 She has more than 800 bushels of wheat and more than 300 bushels of rice in her hands, leaving enough to eat. She can sell 700 bushels of wheat and 200 bushels of rice, and keep the rest as rations.

Although the war will not affect here, it will affect the price of food here, so keep some to be prepared.

 Listening to Bai Yunxi's inquiry, Shopkeeper Wang pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

“I understand my sister-in-law’s concerns. I wonder how much rice my sister-in-law has?”

“Seven hundred bushels of wheat and two hundred bushels of new rice.”

As soon as Bai Yunxi said these words, Shopkeeper Wang shrank his eyes and immediately cupped his hands and fists.

“Thank you, Sister-in-law Bai, for trusting me. Please give me your address and I’ll send someone to weigh it. We can make a transaction on the spot and get both the money and the goods.”

"I'm just waiting for what Shopkeeper Wang says. I'm borrowing the courtyard from a friend. I have to go back and say hello first. I'll come over and let you know when I get back."

Hearing Bai Yunxi's tone, shopkeeper Wang nodded understandingly, "Sure, I'll be waiting for you at any time."

‘The big boss has told me that a large amount of grain will be harvested in the near future, and there is no upper limit. I heard from the steward next to the boss that the big boss has set his sights on the northwest. ’

Hearing what Shopkeeper Wang said, Bai Yunxi didn't stay long and got up to leave.

Looking at Baiyunxi blending into the crowd, a person walked out from behind shopkeeper Wang, "Brother Wang, do you want to send someone to follow that woman?"
