Traveling through troubled times to escape famine and cultivate crops as a grain merchant

Chapter 940: 1 City 1

In fact, Zhou Guo didn't care about him at all. He was thinking about his own ideas. After the grain was harvested, he would take the new grain seeds back to the village.

Part of these grain seeds will be distributed to large households in Yunzhou, most of them will be sold in the early spring of next year, and some will be retained for their own use.

A small portion of these for home use will be set aside and taken to Nanhe to try to grow winter wheat, and the rest will be kept for home planting next year.

With so much land, we have to plant some at home.

Fortunately, those villages that have planted new crops this year already have seeds for next year, so they can just exchange them among themselves.

Next year it will be other counties and other villages.

But on second thought, it would be so troublesome to transport it back and then transport it out again, so it would be better to leave it in the farms in various places, and then they can just come to pick it up with the souvenirs.

One trip was definitely not enough to transport the grain back to Song County. At this time, the grain in Song County had already been returned to the warehouse. Zhou Guo sent out all the trucks in several villages to transport the remaining grain.

More than a month later, all the crabs and fruits were sold out and all the food was put into the cave.

Everyone was very tired, including Zhou Guo.

She was like a puddle of mud, lying on the rocking chair, unwilling to get up. She waved her hands at the fat and bald guys and said, "Forget it, let's not build three caves next year. It's better to have one place for each city to store grain. Not to mention people, there are not enough cars! This year there is more grain than in previous years. Fortunately, we have the help of the big families, otherwise I'm afraid we will have to work for another month to finish it!"

Moreover, Yunzhou also planted a lot of crops in his own fields this year. Although the yield per mu is not high, the total yield of all these fields is much.

If the harvest is better next year, and the grain is added to that from Chengding's fields, the grain storage place in Song County will no longer be able to hold it, and we will have to find a new place.

The bald-headed man clapped his hands as if he had found a kindred spirit, and said, "I have been wanting to say this for a long time. The grain can be hidden anywhere, why must it be hidden here? It is a waste of time and effort and it is unnecessary. It is better to hide it in various prefectures. When the grain in the grain store is sold out, we can get it nearby, which saves time and effort."

Zhou Guo looked up at the sky and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you. You must do it well. This is a big deal! If you fail, you can stop being the third in command and go back to the farm to be a tenant farmer."

The bald man was startled, "What am I supposed to do?"

Zhou Guo didn't say anything, Erpang spoke tactfully, "Master Laizi, the master wants you to find a suitable place to store food. Such a place must be secret, but not too secret, and it can't be in the deep mountains. The cave must be dry and large without water. It must be a dead cave, so that ordinary people can't find this place. It's better if no one has been there for several years."

Baldy was shocked, "What kind of place is both secret and not secret? It has to be uninhabited all year round, and it has to be easy to get in and out, and it has to be big and dead end. Where can such a place be found?"

Zhou Guo rolled his eyes at him and said, "The three caves where the grain is stored are just like this. There are three of them. Can't you do this?"

"I can, why not?" The bald-headed man was provoked by her and agreed loudly, "Isn't it just to find a few caves? I can definitely do it. It will take a year. I will search all the mountains in the prefectures to find such a place."

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you. I won't care about it anymore. I just want the result."

Laizi was choked and left that day. He felt that he couldn't stay with Zhou Guo for long, as he didn't know what else Zhou Guo might come up with to torment him.

After the grain harvest in Song County, Zhou Guo had people sow grass seeds again on the land. This year, several plots of land were planted twice, so there was no shortage of grass seeds.

It will definitely grow before winter, but it won't be very big.

She spread the fertilizer on several fields, returned the cars of the big households, and told them to go to Cangshan Village in ten days.

The big farmers were overjoyed, although many of them did not get many seeds, but they also did not have that much land.

With fifty or sixty acres of seeds, all the land at home can be planted with new seeds in just two years, which is much faster than buying them outside.

And they may not be able to rob those big guys.

If you buy it from us next year, it won't be an easy thing. You can't do it without spending a lot of money.

Therefore, when Zhou Guo came to borrow the car, they lent it all to them without saying a word, without keeping any of it for themselves.

After Zhou Guo finished dealing with these things, he went to Yunzhou again. The dim sum shop business had stabilized.

If a wealthy family holds a banquet, the income can reach 60 to 70 strings of coins a day. On normal days, the income can be around 30 strings of coins, which is about the same as the income of a mountain product shop in winter.

Dashu said, "Master, the dim sum shop is so profitable, and the private rooms upstairs are not enough every day, how about we open another one?"

Zhou Guo shook his head. "Yunzhou is only suitable for one restaurant. Look at those big restaurants, Baoyuelou and Fumanlou. They have good business, but there is only one restaurant in a city. If there are too many of these things, they will lose their value. Now everyone is rushing to open one restaurant every day, but if there are restaurants everywhere, will people still rush to open them?"

Xiaoshu was disappointed. "Is this the only shop you can open for such a profitable business?"

Every time I go to the shop, the private rooms upstairs are never empty, and the lobby downstairs is about 60% to 70% full. The dim sum is sold out before dark every day.

Many things will be gone if you come too late.

Although they didn't know how much they could earn exactly every day, a piece of cake was so expensive, with a large one even costing several taels of silver, so they could definitely make a lot of money.

Several people were disappointed.

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Although we can't open in Yunzhou, we haven't opened in Chengding Huaiyang yet."

There is also Nanhe. Nanhe is rich and will remain rich in a few years. By then, the income of the snack shop there may not be worse than that of Yunzhou.

The two of them became happy again. "Yes, Yunzhou can't have more, but those prefectures don't have any yet. How could we forget about this? If we open one in each prefecture, how much money can we make every day?"

Er Pang said, "You guys are too optimistic. How can those places compare to Yunzhou? It would be good if we can get half of Yunzhou's food every day."

Zhou Guo nodded, "Yes, we can't expect anything too well, we have to prepare for the worst."

Even so, she felt that with the precedent of Yunzhou, it shouldn't be too bad to establish a few more places.

This dim sum shop has gained some fame in the past few months, so it won't be too cold with big customers coming to support it.

She took a tour around Yunzhou and sent Erpang out to find a shop in Chengding and set up all the facilities in Yunzhou.

Erpang is gone.

The dim sum shop now has four dim sum chefs, two of whom were transferred out and sent to Cheng Ding.

After everything was arranged, she took Dashu and Xiaoshu back to the village.

The expensive carriage was loaded with various fabrics, writing brushes, inkstones, books, bird's nests, sea cucumbers, and hams...

Ham is really hard to find, so she went to Baoyue Tower to ask Manager Yang for it.
