Rise of Nongmen

After the intervention of the Marquis of Qing'an, the rich households in Jinmin County finally subsided, and the business order was gradually restored. Only the catering industry was hurt, and it would be difficult to return to its original level for a while.

The owner of the restaurant was very upset, but he had no choice but to wait for the future.Most of the people are forgetful. If you think about it, after a few months, even if it is not as good as before, it will not be far behind.

Time flies, and soon it will be the harvest season.

All households in Suifeng Village, men, women and children, all mobilized, and the fields were in full swing.

Sweat soaked the clothes, but the villagers were all smiling.

This year is a good year, and the crops are harvested happily. Looking at the various dried grains entering the warehouse, the farmers are unprecedentedly satisfied.They have had enough of years of wars and poor harvests caused by various reasons. As the saying goes, there is food in hand and no panic. The villagers seem to see that a better life in the future is calling for them.

Ye Jiazhuang doesn't have a lot of labor. In the past, the whole family had to shed a layer of skin during the busy farming season, but now they don't need it, not to mention a few low-grade sickles to help. Even if they don't have it, it's just as easy. For a tofu shop, the Ye family does not need to mention it, and the hired workers will take the initiative to come to help, and there is no need to pay wages.

Baishi knows how to be a person, so naturally she wouldn't do such a thing. She doesn't need wages, so she takes her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to work in the kitchen every day, and buys good food, which makes everyone's mouths full of greasiness. Afterwards, she works harder and attracts A lot of people with extra labor came to help, just for that one bite.

Everyone collected firewood with high flames, the Ye family's land was not too much, only about [-] mu in total, and the harvest was finished within a few days, just waiting to be dried and put into the warehouse.

Looking at the yard full of food, Bai's eyes narrowed with a smile, he was more happy than Ye Chen making a lot of money.

"Mother, I can finally repay the borrowed food this year." The Song family was also overjoyed.

"Well, when the new grain comes out, I'll go door-to-door to deliver it." Bai leaned over and scooped up a handful of grain. The grains were full, the color was bright, and the texture was very good. The smile in his eyes grew stronger.

The debts of the family have been paid off long ago, but such small scraps as grains can’t be counted. It seems strange to buy grains to pay back. With new grains, no matter whether they are made into cakes or simply taken away It's good to invite people to try something new.

Suifeng Village, Bai Shi and others agree in the majority, but they forgot one thing, that is, cheap grain hurts farmers.

After paying the food tax, everyone hadn't laughed for a few days, and they couldn't laugh anymore.

A bumper harvest is a good thing, but when the situation is the same in the entire Northwest State and even the whole country, it will inevitably be accompanied by a sharp drop in food prices. In previous years, a bucket of rice could be sold for more than ten or twenty yuan, but now it is less than ten yuan.Of course, this is the purchase price of grain merchants, and the selling price is still maintained at around [-] Wen.

Farmers have few sources of income. Now that the business in Da Viet Dynasty is not developed enough, and the jobs that can be provided are limited, they are even more focused on the prospects in the fields. As a result, they have worked hard, but the harvest is far less than expected. One can imagine the depression in their hearts.

Knowing that it is not worthwhile to sell grain at this time, the villagers have no choice. No matter how low the grain merchant asks, they can only sell part of it with red eyes. Those who save their lives with money can only accept exploitation by grain merchants.

Bai's family originally planned to sell some new grains in exchange for what they didn't have at home. Seeing this, they were not willing to do so. They thought that since the family was not short of money, they would keep all the new grains for their own consumption. The Ye family owed a lot of favors these years, and it happened to be repaid slowly.

Food is the most important thing for the people. The business of the Dayue Dynasty is in the recovery period and is not yet developed enough, but the catering industry is not bad. Unfortunately, the restaurants and restaurants in Jinmin County suffered a lot from the previous fights. Therefore, compared with other places, In other words, food prices have been pushed down even lower.

But this does not mean that the life of the grain merchants is easy. It is true that the low price of grain hurts the farmers, and the grain merchants with insufficient vision suffer the same.The price of food has plummeted, and it's okay to say that the inventory is small. Even if the inventory is large, the loss is not small.

This is also the biggest reason why there are far fewer people who dare to go into business than those who only seek security and are willing to be exploited by others.Just because it is quick to make money in business, but it is also easy to go bankrupt.

Under such circumstances, grain merchants have to weigh it carefully to avoid a large backlog of grains due to one mistake, but some grain industries are exceptions, such as wine merchants.

Grain is a raw material and belongs to the most basic part. Generally, the more basic the industry, the greater the market reaction, and the higher the level, the smaller the impact.

Ye Chen, Xu Yanqing and Xiao Jinyan's three-party cooperation of specialty wine, flame wine, has little impact on the high-end varieties, especially the high-end wine. Not only did the price not drop because of this, but it has an upward trend due to supply and demand.

The Great Viet Dynasty is not the end of the world, and the rules cannot be copied. It is purely a fantasy for one person to conquer the world here. We must rely on the strength of the group to win. Suifeng Village became Ye Chen's first choice.

The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. After all, the beneficiary of the tofu workshop is only a small number of people. Although the status of the Ye family in the village has improved significantly because of this, the scope of coverage is still too small.

Hearing Bai's sigh at the sight of the sky, half of the families in the village were short of money. They wanted to wait to sell grain, but they couldn't wait, so they had to sell some emergency supplies. It turned out to be so, many people were worried about it, Ye Chen's heart moved, and he went to Jinmin County the next day, and when he came back, Ding Wang was beside him.

Putting people in the workshop for the time being, Ye Chen went to find the village elder, and rented an empty yard. After cleaning it up, Ding Wang lived here and was responsible for a series of tasks such as running errands.

From then on, Ye Chen no longer had to go to Jinmin County in person because of trivial matters, which saved a lot of trouble.

On that day, the news that Ye Chen received grain at a price higher than the market price spread like wildfire.

"Quick, quick, the Ye family has collected grain at a high price, so hurry up and drag the grain to sell."

"How tall?"

"A fight in the same village is worth one penny, and relatives and friends are worth two pennies."

"Really?" Someone obviously didn't believe it.

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know if you go to sell it. I won't tell you. If you go late, maybe his family doesn't have enough money, so I won't accept it."

After finishing speaking, the man sprinted and ran far away. His eagerness made the villagers who were hesitant just now make up their minds. They didn't even bother to go to Ye's house to inquire, and ran home directly to carry food.

Ye's family has opened a tofu shop, and the family's wealth is increasing day by day, but it is absolutely impossible to eat all the food in Suifeng Village. Naturally, it is first come, first served. loading.

Many villagers were crazy about it, and hurried to catch up, just to be the first, for fear of missing this village and never having this shop. Suifeng Village was very noisy for a while.

There are villagers who have made friends with the Ye family and went to sell grain immediately, and naturally there are also people who don't believe and wait and see.

The Su family is next to the Ye family.

"Girl Tong, come out and help." Tang yelled towards the cubicle of the upper room.

Su Tong frowned, put down the needle and thread in his hand, reluctantly opened the door and walked out: "Mother, what are you doing? Didn't the family just sell a batch of grain and want to sell it again?"

"Isn't it for you?" Tang shi gave Su Tong a white look, "Don't hold back, come here to help."

"Me?" Su Tong was puzzled.

"Your future in-law's family will be quite respectable in the town. If the dowry is too shabby, why won't you be underestimated by your in-law's family? I'll save some money for you."

"Didn't mother say to wait for the price of grain to rise during the Chinese New Year before selling it, why now..."

The Tang family pouted in the direction of Ye's family: "Xue girl's family is rich and powerful, and she collects grain at a high price. She can sell a penny more for a bucket, and she can't be sure if it is more than two pennies. Mother sold all the grain in the family, and then went to other villages. Buy food at a low price, and earn nothing.”

Su Tong was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell out, he didn't dare to say anything: "The Ye family can't be so stupid, can they?"

"Who knows, I've asked. Their family only accepts this price. You have some friendship with Ye Xue. After a while, you go to set up a relationship and try to sell it at a price higher than the market price."

Su Tong refused, curled his lips, and said: "Mother, don't you mean me, what is my relationship with Ye Xue, you still don't know, how can I open this mouth?"

"I'll go if I tell you." Tang sternly reprimanded, seeing her daughter lingering for a long time and still not seeing any movement, she said earnestly, "Your in-law's family runs a small shop in the town, and they are all eloquent owners. Don't mention a little conflict, it's just a front foot." Turn your back on your business and still greet customers with a smile, you can’t do this.”

"Understood." Su Tong was full of reluctance to leave, as soon as he stepped out of the house, he put away his impatience, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which made people look friendly.

At the same time, the Ye family.

"Chen'er, why do you collect grain at such a high price?" Mrs. Bai was in a hurry. Ye's family didn't have a grain store, so it's not a bad thing to pay for grain at this price?

"It's okay, I helped the boss Xu of Qingyuan Restaurant before, and he is paying back the favor, so it's not good if he doesn't accept it." Ye Chen opened his mouth for a reason, and he didn't worry about being exposed at all.

"Is this not good? Will it affect the cooperation between the two companies?"

"will not."

"Oh, these mothers don't understand, just know what you have in mind." Mrs. Bai felt relieved, but there was still a hint of melancholy in her eyes. Since then, she has tried every means to sell the finished products of the tofu workshop, so as to save more family business for emergencies .

The Su family and the Ye family did not get along with each other, so there was no major conflict, they were all trivial issues, but the relationship between the two families has since weakened, and there is not much contact.

Seeing Su Tong coming to the door, Bai's eyes narrowed: "Girl Tong, why do you have time to go to Da Niang's house today?"

Seemingly having adjusted his mood, Su Tong didn't feel any embarrassment at all, and smiled generously: "Ms. Bai, is Ye Xue there? I'll look for her."

"Girl Xue, girl Tong is looking for you." Bai Shi raised her voice and shouted, then her eyes narrowed slightly, hiding the flash of disdain in her eyes.It's true that no one asks you if you are poor in the downtown area, and you are rich in the mountains and have distant relatives. No, just after the news of the grain harvest was released, even the Su family, who never visits the door for nothing, came to the door. Tsk tsk, how thick-skinned.
