In the years of ancient traders

Song Shu was worried about how to promote the corn seeds brought by Hyundai, but he didn't expect the villagers to be so active, and this was exactly what he wanted.

"Why don't we hold an auction?" Song Shu asked.

"No problem, how much is the reserve price? Let's make a bid now." An old woman from a neighboring village said.

She urged Song Shu to take pictures quickly, of course she had her reasons.Now there are only a dozen or so people here, and they have been called Yiguanqian. If there are another 50 people here, can't they go up to the sky?

The better the millet seeds, the better the harvest in the coming year.

Harvest, this is the foundation of farmers' survival. In this matter, these farmers are willing to spend money.Moreover, this improved millet seed is a good thing for the benefit of future generations, and I really don't want to hide it.

Last time, one golden fruit cost so much money, they really had more than enough energy, but if this millet was sold by stone, they would still be able to compete.Of course, the sooner the auction is held, the better. Before those rich households know about it, they buy it first, otherwise there will be no dregs left.

Song Shu was noncommittal, and if he sold it to wealthy households, the millet seeds would probably be monopolized. If he sold them to farmers, no one had the power to monopolize them.

"Then let's do it today. It will be in the open space in the center of the village in half an hour." But Song Shu didn't plan to sell it in this small area, but wanted to improve it on a large scale. Of course, the more people who came to buy it, the better.

"Okay!" said the old woman, and took the lead to leave. She had to go back immediately and count how much cash was available.I don't know if Song Silang will accept the newly harvested corn in exchange. Although their reserved seeds are not good, they can still be eaten.

Song Shu gave Song Anan the tomato and egg noodles, and went back to the room to find a blank ledger.

This time, he didn't plan to engage in such a big battle as last time, it was too tiring.Anyway, the millet seeds are all the same, and there is no need to shoot them separately, just do them together.

Although those people at the beginning were extremely reluctant to let out the news of the auction, they couldn't stop Liu Niang and her friends from being flexible, and the news spread quickly like the wind.

"Hurry up, go to Xianghe Village!"

"Song Silang is auctioning millet seeds!"

"Five times! Hurry up!"

Everyone from this village and those from neighboring villages hurried, and finally arrived at the open space in Xianghe Village at the appointed time.

As soon as Song Shu appeared, he was surrounded.

"Where's the number plate?"

"How much is the reserve price?"

"Where to register?"

The villagers have all experienced the sweet potato auction last time, and the questions they are asking now are very professional. Some people have even studied how to raise cards quickly and accurately. Everyone is gearing up and ready to compete.

Unexpectedly, Song Shu said: "Everyone think about the unit price per stone that you are willing to pay and the quantity you want to buy, and then go to Accountant Li to register. I have a total of two hundred stones for auction here, and the price will be based on the registered price." , whoever pays the highest price wins."

Song Shu's method is equivalent to the modern method of auctioning license plates.For example, 2 yuan of license plates will be issued this month, and everyone will bid, and finally the first 2 people from the highest price will win the auction.If you want to ensure that you can buy it, of course you have to pay a high price. If you are afraid that it will not be worthwhile, you have to carefully weigh it and try to make the bid as close to the lowest price as possible, but not too low, otherwise you will not be squeezed into the auction list.

This bidding is a science.

Many of the villagers had figured it out quickly, and others gradually understood the key point in Song Shu's follow-up explanation.

But this price, how to pay?

Everyone didn't pay attention.Naturally, the price of nasu seeds in previous years cannot be compared with it, and it has no reference value.In the end, everyone didn't think about it anymore, just go according to their own wishes, it's too expensive and we can't afford it.

The villagers went to Li's accountant to register one after another, and by almost noon, the last person had also registered.

Next, there is sorting.In the era without computers, all of these depended on the human brain, and the sorting took place until late in the evening.

Everyone went back to have a meal, or get some pads, and some bought soup cakes with toppings, fried dough sticks and scallion pancakes, but everyone was not in the mood to eat them, and they were all waiting for the results.

Song Shu fought with Accountant Li and Wu Niang all afternoon, and the list finally came out.

Among those who registered, some bought a few buckets, and some bought two or three stones. In the end, more than 130 people were selected, and the lowest price was blocked at 850 four Wen per stone.When Song Shu reported this number, several exclamations erupted from the crowd.

There are surprises and regrets.

"If I knew it earlier, I would have added ten coins!" A middle-aged man who came from a neighboring village clapped his hands with his fists. He offered 840 five coins, which was only nine coins less than the lowest price.

"Ahhhhhh, we've won! We've won!" On the other side, two young ladies yelled and hugged each other. They were from another village. They usually ran to Xianghe Village very diligently, and often took Silkworm cocoons made of silkworm pockets.This time, after much deliberation, they bid 850 Siwen per shi, which just squeezed into the bottom of the winning bid list and made the most cost-effective deal.

Some are happy and some are worried.

It is a pity for those who did not win the bid, and those who won were also frustrated because the bid was too high.

For example, the family with the highest bid spent a total of four pennies, and now that the result came out, I only sighed that I was too impulsive.But at any rate, they bought millet seeds, and they only hope that the weather will be good in the coming year, so that they can enjoy the joy of a good harvest.

At the time of delivery, Song Shu also accepted the barter exchange at the price of 120 Wen per shi of corn.This price is slightly lower than the market price, but everyone is still very happy if it can be paid for with goods.So after the transaction, the Song family did not lack corn for food.

Sanniang looked at the stone after stone of grain piled up in her backyard, and she felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart.Sure enough, no matter how much cash you earn, there is no such thing as a lot of food to make you feel at ease.

That night, the Song family had an unprecedented sumptuous dinner.

After the harvest, it is time to adjust the ownership of the land every year.

According to the law of this dynasty, male adults can be divided into 19 mu of land.Song He was still young when he left, but now he is already [-] years old. Before winter, he received his own [-] mu of land.

On the day they got the land, both he and Sanniang were filled with emotions.

They grew up with Widow Song, and the widows and concubines could only get [-] mu of sub-fields, and the [-] mu of permanent land left by Widow Song's deceased husband.Widow Song used the [-] mu of land to bring up their seven children by herself, looking forward and looking forward to it every day, hoping that Song Dalang would be divided into [-] mu of land, but unfortunately, she did not see this day.

In front of Widow Song's tomb, two candles were lit, and five dishes of stir-fried vegetables and a bowl of corn porridge were placed.The children of the Song family worshiped one by one from the oldest to the youngest.

Cheng Erniang hadn't passed the door yet, so she was at the end of the queue.

After all the worship, Song He took Cheng Erniang's hand: "I have been away from home for a long time, and I have delayed Erniang for a long time. Today, in front of Aniang's tomb, I..." He choked up and couldn't say a complete sentence.

After recovering for a long time, he said to Cheng Erniang: "Marry me, and I will treat you well."

Cheng Erniang has been crying for a long time. For this day, she broke up with her parents and ruined her reputation, just to wait for him to come back.They said yes, to be together forever.

"November [-]th is an auspicious day, and there is still more than a month left. Although it is a bit rushed, it is not too late for eldest brother." During dinner, Sanniang discussed the day with Song Shu and Song He.

Song He looked at Cheng Erniang.Cheng Erniang said softly, "Listen to you."

Song He nodded.

"Nowadays when the farming is slack, it is very fast to find someone to repair a yard with some money." Song Shu said.The house of their family is not big, if they want to decorate a new house, it will be too crowded, so Song Shu and Song He made a plan to not be busy dividing the family, but the house still needs to be expanded.

Song He naturally had no objection. Although Song Shu didn't explicitly help, his marriage was definitely thanks to Song Shu.If he directly took the field to separate the family at this time, he would really be inhuman.

After that, it was about welcoming the relatives and so on. Song He and Cheng Erniang agreed that they had to go back to Cheng's house.No matter what attitude Cheng Jiayaniang has now, they are juniors who will always be polite when they know it.It's just that Song Shu reminded him not to worry about how to do this, but to think about it carefully.

Cheng Erniang ran out like this, he, Ye Niang, was okay to say, but the words between neighbors would definitely not be nice.

Going back this time, it is one thing to ask for Ye Niang's understanding, but more importantly, to shut up all those gossiping people, so that they will have a better life in the future.

When Song He heard it, it really was the truth.

Song Shu hasn't figured out how to do it for the time being, anyway, there is still more than a month, and he has money and people now, so he doesn't worry about it.

The next day, Sanniang said that winter was coming, and she wanted to pickle two more jars of vegetables, so she didn't go out with Song Shu and the others.Song Shu, Song He, Song Anan and Liu Niang went to visit the newly assigned fields to Song He.

This field is relatively far away, because the land in their village has basically been allocated, and some of it has been allocated from neighboring villages.

"Brother, it's so cold today." Liu Niang grabbed Song Shu and stuffed her cold paws into Song Shu's hands to keep warm.

"After the frost, the day will be colder faster."

"Sanniang pickled several jars of cucumbers and bracken for the winter. This is the last month when you can eat fruits and vegetables, so you should cherish it," Song He said.

"There's no food to eat." It's rare that Song Anan can interject in this small chat, although the words are still the same simple and shocking.

When he said this, he reminded Song Shu.

Song Shu is used to the modern day full of out-of-season vegetables and fruits, but has always neglected that in this era of small-scale peasant economy, there are no greenhouse vegetables for him to eat.In winter, it is not only cold, but also three months without fresh vegetables.

It seems that cabbage is not popular in this place, and people do not have the habit of storing winter vegetables, or they may not be able to store them or have no way to store them.

Song Shu and the others came to a slope. The slope was very steep, and the field was divided into upper and lower layers.Song He lamented that although the steep slope is considered an area, it is not easy to grow things.However, Song Shu felt that this terrain really looked like the Hobbit's house, with a door on the slope and digging in, as if it was hidden underground.

Wait, open a door?Hide underground?

"Yes!" Song Shu suddenly shouted, and several people looked over at the same time.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Liu Niang asked.

"There are no vegetables in winter, so we can dig cellars to grow them!" Song Shu said.

The author has something to say:

The auction method mentioned in the article refers to the method of auctioning license plates in Shanghai in [-], but it seems that this is not the case now.
