Chapter XXXVII

After they left the pawnshop, it was already noon, and they saw a steamed bun shop not far in front of them, so they asked Tugou to take the money to buy all the steamed buns there. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The current dog hair can be said to be a local tyrant and rich. Originally, I wanted to take them to the restaurant to rub a meal, but after thinking about it, I forgot it, and I didn't eat two buns to save trouble.

After buying the buns, everyone got two or three each, but these people were greedy, not to mention them, even the dog hair was full of energy, this meat bun was really amazing, and it could throw the meat buns of later generations out of ten streets.

After everyone finished eating, they set off again, turned two streets, and finally arrived at the place where the grain was sold.

At that time, the grain operators basically participated in every link from the purchase of farmers' grain, to transshipment, to wholesale, to retail, and it can be said that they grasped it from beginning to end, but the scale of each grain line was different.

And in some small-scale cities, basically grain is still a monopoly, and a family can monopolize the grain trade in a county town or even a prefecture city.

Gou Mao found a rice shop called "Dafeng Grain Store", according to Fa Gen, this rice shop monopolized all the grain trading in Mizhi County, and other small grain stores had to buy here, and the scale was very large, so Gou Mao walked in with the two of them, and let the rest of the people wait outside.

After they entered, a guy immediately came up to greet them, "Guest officer, do you want to buy wheat or corn?" ”

"How is this sold?" Dog Mao asked.

"Wheat is one tael or three dollars a stone, and corn is one tael and one stone."

"Oh, I'm going to buy a lot, please ask the shopkeeper to come out." Dog Hair said.

"Dare to ask the guest officer how much he bought?"

"Four or five hundred stones."

The guy couldn't help but look at the dog hair, and he dressed like this, buying a few hundred stones of grain? You're kidding me!

Seeing the disdainful expression on the man's face, Gou Mao beckoned to the dog water outside, and after the dog water came in, he lit up a bag of silver behind him, and the guy quickly made amends, and then went to ask the shopkeeper.

Soon the shopkeeper came out, only to see that he was in his forties, with a long beard on his chin, according to the aesthetic point of view of the Ming Dynasty, a handsome guy must have a beard on his chin, otherwise he would not be a handsome guy.

"The contemptible king looks far away, dare to ask what the guest official is called?" The shopkeeper asked.

"Under ten thousand dog hairs, let the shopkeeper smile."

"Where, where, how much food do you need to buy? Is it corn or wheat? ”

Gou Mao thought for a moment and said, "I want to buy five hundred stone of grain, what price can the shopkeeper give me for corn and wheat?" ”

Wang Yuanwang was also taken aback, obviously this amount is very large, you must know that this is nearly 90,000 catties.

Wang Yuanwang pondered for a moment and said, "The guest officer wants so much grain, so I will give you one tael and one stone for corn and one tael and four yuan and one stone for wheat, okay?" ”

Dog Fur was taken aback, what? I buy so much, and you still give me a price increase? You've got a problem with your brain!

So Gou Mao said: "Shopkeeper, what I said is that I want 500 stones, such a large amount, you should give me a discount." ”

Wang Yuanwang smiled slightly, and then said: "The guest officer doesn't know, the so-called money is less and the goods are cheap, and the goods are less and the money is cheap, and the guest officer wants so much food at once, which obviously exceeds the supply, and the price of this goods will naturally increase." ”

And this exquisiteness, speechless.

Gou Mao thought for a moment, and then said: "Otherwise, I won't pay you back, I'll buy corn for 500 stones, one or two stones, shopkeeper, is this good?" ”

Wang Yuanwang shook his head and said, "No, one or two dollars, a lot of money." ”

"Shopkeeper, you must know that if I buy it from you in installments, and buy a few stones at a time, I can also buy five hundred stones, or one or two stones, which will add a lot of trouble to the shopkeeper." Dog Mao said confidently.

Wang Yuanwang still smiled slightly, and said: "Guest officer, if you buy here in installments, buy a few more times, the price will rise, and it may increase by more than a penny." ”

"If the shopkeeper really wants to increase the price, then I'll buy it somewhere else." Dog Fur wants to try one last time.

Wang Yuanwang shook his head slightly, and said: "As long as the guest officer is buying grain in Mizhi, no matter where you buy it, in the end, you are doing business with me, and the price is still the same as I said, and it will go up." ”

You cow, you cow, Gou Mao has completely surrendered this time, this is the power of monopoly, and Gou Mao has once again seen its power.

Gou Mao compromised, and said helplessly: "That's okay, just follow the shopkeeper, so much food, the shopkeeper should arrange it, help me send it back!" ”

Wang Yuanwang smiled very apologetically and said: "I'm really sorry for this, it stands to reason that I should send you back, but we don't have so many wooden carts and manpower, if the guest officer is not in a hurry, I can send you home in ten days." ”

Dog Mao was really speechless, so he said: "Ten days is too long, can't you invite someone?" There are manpower in the county, just let them bring wooden carts to tow it. ”

"I'm really sorry that the small shop has a small profit."

This is really thunderous, Lao Tzu bought so much food, and he had to find a way to transport it back, I served you, I really served you.

In the end, Gou Mao said helplessly: "Why don't you go to the shopkeeper and invite someone, I'll pay the money." ”

Wang Yuanwang smiled apologetically and said: "It's really embarrassing to let the guest officer break the bill again, if the food supply is sufficient in the future, it will definitely not increase the price like today, I'm sorry for the guest officer." ”

What else can dog hair say? He pretended to be generous and said: "It's okay, it's okay to talk about business, as long as the shopkeeper doesn't use shoddy." ”

"Don't worry, guest officer, we are talking about honest management, a promise, and we will definitely not lose our conscience." Wang Yuanwang said.

Then Wang Yuanwang asked the guys to hire people in the manpower shop, and calculated that they had to hire fifty wooden carts to transport them at one time, but fortunately, it didn't cost much to hire people, and a wooden cart cost a penny of silver, a total of five taels of silver, and the dog hair spent more than five hundred taels, and he would care about these taels of silver.

Taking advantage of this effort, Gou Mao happily settled the money, five hundred stone of grain, that is, five hundred and fifty taels of silver. Wang Yuanwang let people check the silver one by one, which took half a day's effort, and the efficiency of doing things in this era is really low.

After inspecting the silver, the porters from the manpower line also came, so Wang Yuanwang arranged for people to load the grain into the cart.

The porters who were invited belonged to the Bian Dan Gang and the Big Foot Gang, so a few of them had seen Dog Hair yesterday, and when they saw Dog Hair again, they were instinctively a little scared, and they lowered their heads one after another, for fear that Dog Hair would come to them for trouble.

But this is also what they think about a lot, where will Gou Mao notice their little characters. Gou Mao was aggrieved that it cost an extra fifty taels of silver to buy these grains!
