Chapter 271 Selling Grain
Chapter 271 Selling Grain
Riding a bay red horse in the early morning, it was time for the morning market when we arrived in Daxing Town.

Even if it is not a market day, Daxing Town is still very lively in the morning.

Those who sell breakfast, those who sell tea, those who buy and sell vegetables, the streets are crowded with people.

After riding the horse all the way and blowing the wind all the way, Yan Xiaosi felt a little parched, so he ordered a bowl of hot tea from a small tea shed by the street.

After drinking tea, he handed over a penny to the owner of the tea shed, and then led the bay red horse to find a rice and grain trading company.

When passing a rice and grain business, she stopped while leading the bay red horse.

"Wanjia rice and grain business."

Isn't this the rice store where she sold corn last time?There was an alley next to it, which she remembered clearly.

"Brother, has your daughter-in-law brought you home?"

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper of Wanjia Rice Grain Co., Ltd. also remembered Yan Xiaosi, a young man who was eager to marry a wife before his hair was fully grown.

Seeing Yan Xiaosi, shopkeeper Wan joked.

Hearing the shopkeeper's teasing himself, Yan Xiaosi simply put the bay red horse's reins on the horse post, and walked up a few steps to the shopkeeper.

"I didn't expect the shopkeeper to remember me."

Shopkeeper Wan has a deep memory of her.

One is that she has a distinctive appearance, with a bright red tear mole at the corner of her eye, and the other is that there is no one who is greedy for a daughter-in-law.

"Of course I remember my little brother. Look at my young brother who is dressed so brightly today and has ridden a horse again. But after marrying a wife, he has prospered."

Yan Xiaosi chuckled, and replied casually, "I just got a little money after I married a wife."

Looking at the shopkeeper's gentle elder-like smile and his warm hospitality, she was looking for help, so she spotted the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, how is the business of your firm?"

Shopkeeper Wan sighed, "Generally speaking, in this era of war and chaos, every household is not rich, and few people are willing to spend money on food."

This is the reason, when Yan Xiaosi first crossed over, his family had no money, Zhong and the others would go to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables, at most they would spend a little money to buy a few catties of rough noodles, they would not be willing to spend money on shiny rice.

"Shopkeeper, I have a business to do here. Not only can I make a fortune, but I can also cling to the nobles in Xijing. Are you willing to cooperate with me?"

Shopkeeper Wan looked at her, not quite believing it.

"You know the nobleman from Xijing? What does the nobleman from Xijing look like?"

"A pair of eyes, a pair of ears, a nose, and a mouth."

Shopkeeper Wan had a frustrated expression on his face, and Yan Xiaosi's eyes clearly said: You won.

Yan Xiaosi made a small joke with him, then approached his ear, and said calmly at a volume that the two of them could hear: "Shopkeeper, don't believe me, what I said is true, Tonggong There is a shortage of military pay in the Ping barracks, and they want to buy a lot of rice."

Now, Shopkeeper Wan believed it.

He stared at Yan Xiaosi closely, his eyes brightened.

"How much food is needed in Tongluoping, I will prepare it right away."

I heard that the general stationed in Tongluoping is a high-ranking and powerful general. If this deal is done, not only can he make money, but he can also cling to such a noble person. Such a good thing is hard to find with a lantern.

Yan Xiaosi waved one of his fingers in front of his eyes.

"Boss, the food in your store is far from enough."

"Not enough, I can find a way to get more food."

"How much can you get?"

Shopkeeper Wan made some calculations and said, "How can there be several thousand catties of grain?"

A few thousand catties of grain is not enough for the army to stuff its teeth.

"Shopkeeper, there are [-] troops stationed in Tongluoping, with several thousand catties of grain, a drop in the bucket."

The expression on Shopkeeper Wan's face tensed, and he said angrily, "Brother, since I can't do this business, why are you telling me so much, aren't you making fun of me?"

"The shopkeeper, don't be angry."

Yan Xiaosi comforted him.

"Your several thousand catties of grain, plus some my friend has, are enough, but I have one condition."

"What conditions?"

"You have to lend me your shop for a day, the guys in the shop, you let them all leave today, within this day, your shop will be used by me alone."

Shopkeeper Wan was a little worried.

"But I still have a lot of food in my shop."

Yan Xiaosi understood his concerns, he was afraid of being cheated by himself, afraid of emptying the food inside.

If she was herself, she wouldn't feel at ease handing over the shop to a stranger.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, I won't touch the grain in the store. If the shopkeeper is worried, I can deposit some money to the shopkeeper."

While talking, Yan Xiaosi took out half of his belongings and handed it to shopkeeper Wan.

"Shopkeeper, this is a bank note of 500 taels. 500 taels is enough to buy all the rice grains in your store. I'll bet it on you. Let's make another note. Can you rest assured?"

Shopkeeper Wan took the bank note and counted it to be 500 taels. He looked at Yan Xiaosi in amazement.

This kid is so rich.

"Okay, let's make a written statement."

He put away the 500 taels, and then led Yan Xiaosi in to make a written receipt.

At noon, according to Yan Xiaosi's request, he sent all the shop assistants back home, and gave Yan Xiaosi a key to the shop.

Yan Xiaosi took the key, and felt much more relaxed.

As long as the shopkeeper is sent away, she can take out the food in the space and store it in this shop, claiming that it was sent by a friend, and then wait for Long Yu to send someone to pick it up.

"Shopkeeper Wan, when will your several thousand catties of grain be ready?"

Shopkeeper Wan said, "At noon tomorrow, Young Master Yan, when will your food be ready?"

Just set up written evidence, already know the other party's name.

Yan Xiaosi smiled, and replied: "My friend will deliver it today, and I borrowed your store from Shopkeeper Wan just to store those grains."

Shopkeeper Wan asked kindly: "Young Master Xiaoyan, do you really not need my help?"

"It's really not necessary, my friend has enough staff."

Shopkeeper Wan nodded slightly: "Then tomorrow at noon, let's meet in the store."

"Good car." When Yan Xiaosi sent him out, he did not forget to remind: "I will notify the general stationed in Tongluoping to come to pick up food at noon tomorrow. , the food is yours, after receiving the money, shopkeeper Wan will just transfer the money to me."

Shopkeeper Wan looked puzzled: "Young Master Xiaoyan, why do you want me to say that? Don't you want to cling to that general?"

"This way, it seems that you, the shopkeeper Wan, have done more credit. If you get the care of the general because of this credit, it will be much easier for the shopkeeper Wan to do business in the future. I am helping my friend sell rice grains, and I don't need to pay for it." This credit, and my friend is a trafficker, this credit is not that important to him."

Shopkeeper Wan had a grateful expression on his face.

"Well."
