Chapter 115 Little Fox Makes Money
Chapter 115 Little Fox Makes Money
"Uh, this..."
Shen Nuo looked at the room full of food, and his non-existent fox ears immediately drooped again.
"Indeed, these foods must come from somewhere."
Shen Nuo lowered his head and began to think again.
Qin Yan held Shen Nuo on his lap, took off his veil, kissed his cheek gently, and said:
"We can tell them that we have bought cheap food and ask them to buy from us.
However, in this case, you can only do this in the city, and the price cannot be much cheaper than outside, otherwise people will be suspicious. "
Shen Nuo's eyes lit up:
"That's right, then let's do this for the next two days and sell more. We won't do this again after we leave the city."
I thought it could be a long-term income, but it seems that money is not that easy to make.
Seeing that Shen Nuo didn't know what he was thinking, he hugged Shen Nuo and shook him:
"It doesn't matter. It's amazing that Nuonuo can think of this way to make money."
"Hey, then hurry up. If you go, no one will doubt me anymore."
Shen Nuo understood that someone must have guessed about the water changes in the previous times, but not everyone could guess it, and those people had no evidence.
He didn't take out the water after that. It would be more appropriate to let Qin Yan do it this time.
In this way, Shen Nuo collected all the food and followed Qin Yan to a shop in the east of the city.
This place used to be a grain business, and the owner has already put the shop up for sale.
But given the current situation, no one would buy this shop.
Qin Yan spent a few dozen coins to rent this shop for two days, saying that he wanted to store some things, and asked the man to keep it a secret.
Shen Nuo put all the grain here and asked Qin Yan to tell Qin Liang and others that the owner of the grain shop wanted to sell the shop, so the grain would be cheaper, and asked people from Yunzhu Village to come here to buy it.
"really?"
Qin Liang and his companions also visited many grain shops and found that the grain here was several times more expensive than usual and was not something that ordinary people could afford at all.
No wonder so many people go outside the city to dig wild vegetables, even grass roots are not spared.
"The food is really too expensive. We went to the medicine store this morning and sold all the herbs. Although the herbs made a lot of money, it still couldn't buy much food."
That morning, the people of Yunzhu Village went out together to sell herbs. They earned a lot of silver, but the price of food was also ridiculously high.
They didn't buy any food either, and were thinking of going to the east of the city in the afternoon to see if there was anything cheaper.
I didn’t expect that Qin Yan actually found a cheap one.
"That's great. Let's go to the east of the city this afternoon. If they have so much food, we will try to exchange all the silver for food."
Otherwise, when we reach the next city, the price of food will probably be even higher.
That silver is useless in your hand.
"Okay, let's all follow the village chief."
The other villagers in Yunzhu Village were also willing to follow Qin Liang and his group, and the herbs they sold just now were also sold together with Qin Liang and Qin Ji.
If Qin Ji hadn't been there, they wouldn't have known how much money they had been cheated out of.
Just like Gou Dong and Hong Xia who had separated from them. When they came back, they sold the herbs at a price several percent lower than theirs.
They had collected few herbs to begin with, and now they had even less money.
Just now, Qin Liang and the others did not buy any food because Hong Xia said that if they didn't buy it now, it would be snatched away by others in the afternoon.
Gou Dong and his companions really used all their silver to buy food, and it was all stale rice and flour.
Of course Qin Liang would not stop them. This was just a personal choice. Others were willing to follow him, and it was all voluntary. He had no interest in forcing others to take risks with him.
After noon, Qin Yan brought everyone from Yunzhu Village to the rice shop in the east of the city.
Shen Nuo also followed him, and when he arrived at the shop, he saw the grain in the shop’s warehouse.
Qin Yan said:
"These are the food that the boss left here. He has some family matters. You can give the money to the waiter and let him record it in the account."
The role of the waiter was also played by a member of the opera troupe hired by Shen Nuo. The troupe had disbanded long ago, but this guy said that he didn't leave because he could get water every day.
Shen Nuo happened to see it and asked him to sell the grain.
Shen Nuo's face was covered, so he couldn't recognize him, but he just took the money.
Seeing a customer coming, the waiter greeted him with a smile.
The price of grain in this store has been set, and it is really one hundred coins per pound, which is much cheaper than other shops.
What they didn't know was that the price of rice on West Street had already risen to 130 wen per catty, and some white rice had even risen to 150 wen per catty.
As soon as the people from Yunzhu Village entered, Qin Yan closed the door directly.
"Everyone in our village has bought the food here, so let's just go with the price you said."
Qin Liang finally reacted:
"Yes, yes, there are many people in our village. How much food can we sell?"
"I see. We have plenty of food in our warehouse. Don't worry."
The waiter was not surprised by their behavior. He had just checked the food here and it was indeed better than that in other stores, and much cheaper.
If the boss hadn't told him not to raise prices, he would have wanted to sell at a higher price than other stores.
Qin Yan asked Qin Yue and the others to help with the weighing, while Qin Liang and Qin Ji helped with the calculation of the silver and money.
The waiter was also busy collecting cash.
The carts they used to buy food were pulled in from the back door of the store.
"The back door is a small alley, so not many people will be able to see it."
They were busy until the evening, and the people of Yunzhu Village finally returned to the inn with their food, feeling satisfied.
The food was covered with linen and oilcloth, and the city was full of soldiers and officers, so no one dared to rob openly.
Qin Yan and Shen Nuo were the last to leave. Shen Nuo paid the waiter his wages and gave him half a bag of grain.
"Go home early."
The waiter's name is Qingyi.
He looked at Shen Nuo and Qin Yan, and suddenly knelt on the ground:
"thank you all."
Qingyi also saw it just now, they are all from the same village.
And these grains are what the two people in front of us want to put here and deliberately sell to the villagers at a low price.
Qingyi thought of something and respectfully handed the one or two taels of silver given by Shen Nuo as wages to Shen Nuo.
"Sir, can I not take your money? I want to travel with you. I won't trouble you. Just let me join your village."
Qin Yan looked at the thin and handsome man kneeling on the ground, who had just wiped off his makeup, and alarm bells began to ring in his heart.
"Why, is it that the money we gave is not enough?"
"No, no, I just lied to you. The reason I didn't leave was not because I wanted the half bucket of water every day."
