Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Two men came out leading the horses.

Two clerks were responsible for matching the horses with the carriage. The specifications were also in accordance with what Xu Wenyan said. The carriage was not big and could probably seat four people.

It will be more than enough to transport goods in the future. The reason why he equipped it with a small cart was that Xu Wenyan said he didn't want the horse to be too tired, and he himself didn't need such a big cart.

"Captain Wang, this car is broken. You can come to us to replace it within a year. These parts are all replaceable. I will also teach you the driving skills again..."

These words were naturally not said to Wang Zeren. Xu Wenyan listened carefully on the side. Horses are relatively docile animals. They are not as stubborn as donkeys, nor as strong as cows, but they excel in speed.

Jixiang Village is far away from Fengxian County, so a horse-drawn carriage is actually the most ideal means of transportation, and it is also the best choice if you don’t use it to transport goods and use it to escape.

"Is there anywhere you want to go?"

It will probably take some time to load up this carriage, but now we can go for a tour around the county.

Xu Wenyan nodded. He had long wanted to see the market conditions outside.

"Just walk around. I want to go to the grain store to have a look."

Fengxian County is far less lively than before. Instead, there are more small stalls on the street, but they only sell straw sandals, backpacks and the like. It is rare to see anyone selling food.

Even if there was one, the price would be two or three times higher than before. Xu Wenyan naturally didn't want to be taken advantage of.

Before, you could buy a pound of potatoes for three cents, but now it costs seven cents. However, straw sandals are cheap, only two cents a pair. Just looking at the food sold at the street stalls, Xu Wenyan no longer wants to go to the grain store.

After walking for a few more minutes, the two came to the place where Xu Wenyan used to sell grain. Now the boss has changed. It used to be a middle-aged man, but now it's a young man.

"Brother, how much are the grains?" Xu Wenyan took a quick look and saw that there were not many kinds of grains in the store, only new rice, broken rice, brown rice, and some beans.

The young man smiled and replied: "My suggestion is to sell brown rice. Brown rice is ten cents a pound, coarse flour is eighteen cents, and these beans are all priced at twenty cents." The young man had a smile on his face. Although the prices are high now, he is not worried about not being able to sell them.

If the government had not set a maximum price for grain, it would have been sold at a higher price. Now that the war is over, as long as we can survive these most difficult months, the price of grain will naturally come down.

If you want to make money, you can only seize these few months. There are business opportunities everywhere.

Looking at the food which was twice as expensive as usual, Xu Wenyan felt a little painful. He only had these few taels of food on him, but there was not much rice left at home, and he would have to share it with several families in half a month.

There will be even less left by then: "Give me 8 kilograms of brown rice." It's not that Xu Wenyan doesn't want to buy more, but he doesn't dare.

"Eight kilograms of brown rice!" the young man shouted to the back, and then Xu Wenyan handed over the cloth bag to hold the rice.

As for why we need to call it out, it is a kind of respect for customers.

Of course, only those who buy a lot will call it out, which is to satisfy the vanity of buyers and also to stimulate the purchasing psychology of other buyers.

After paying, the two left the grain store. Xu Wenyan was about to carry the rice bag away, but Wang Zeren took it away: "Let me do it."

"How embarrassing." Xu Wenyan quickly let go of the bag.

Wang Zeren shook his head and smiled: "I don't see how embarrassed you are."

"hey-hey."

Anyway, Xu Wenyan’s principle is to never waste any energy on things that can save energy.

Not long after leaving the store, Xu Wenyan saw someone selling buns, meat ones for six cents and vegetarian ones for three cents.

I originally wanted to buy some for Chen Sanlin and the kids at home to try, but now I think forget it.

It would be more cost-effective to use the money to buy rice and flour directly. You can do everything yourself.

As a result, the two of them went back to the grain store. Xu Wenyan felt that his idea was right. Instead of buying others, it would be better to make it himself.

Besides, why can't I seize this business opportunity? I can sell snacks myself.

He went back and sold another ten pounds of coarse flour. One pound of coarse flour was sixteen cents. He had already spent all the money left at home after coming to the county.

When the two men carried the bags back, the car had already been loaded.

"Are you sure you don't want Mo Xuan to take it away?"

Wang Zeren looked at Xu Wenyan with a little concern.

"Don't worry, my skills are top-notch, and I will never let you down." After all, Xu Wenyan's horse riding skills were taught by Wang Zeren, and he also thoughtfully gave this chestnut horse a name, Xiaohong.

The horse harness and other items were also a set, saving Xu Wenyan a lot of money.

Wang Zeren was still a little worried, so he let Mo Xuan take Xiaohong away.

This send directly sent Xu Wenyan back to the yard.

"Brother Xu! I almost didn't recognize you. Where did you get the horse?" Xiaohu ran over excitedly and almost scared Xiaohong.

"Hey, don't scare Xiaohong." Xu Wenyan hit Xiaohu on the forehead.

Xiaohu was still stroking the horse with a smile on his face.

Wang Zeren on horseback looked at Chen Sanlin expressionlessly and left.

Ever since Xiaohong came, she has been like a big star in the family, more popular than Hei Xiong and Ruhua. After all, in everyone's eyes, this horse is the most expensive and the most useful.

But if Xu Wenyan were to choose, he would prefer black bear.

He was lying in the rocking chair, and the black bear was half lying on him, enjoying the touch of his master.

Chen Sanlin sat on the stool next to him at this time: "Commander Zhu left today and took more than 600 people with him. The written document Xiaoman sent back in the afternoon. We can get a lot more food."

"It's better to leave. There will be more trouble if there are too many people around. Brother Chen, I will start setting up the stall the day after tomorrow. Will you accompany me to practice horse riding tomorrow?" Xu Wenyan turned his head and looked at the person next to him.

Chen Sanlin reached out and smoothed the hair on Xu Wenyan's forehead: "Okay, it's just that I'm not very good at it..." Not only am I not very good at it, today was his first time touching a horse.

"It's okay, I can take you with me."

Thinking about how Xu Wenyan came here on horseback today, he was indeed very handsome.

After saying that, Xu Wenyan closed his eyes, gently tapped the dog's head with his index finger, and thought about what to sell.

There are some cabbages and bracken in the sauerkraut jar at home. They should be edible according to the season, but they are not that tasty.

And there are a lot of sweet potatoes at home, Xu Wenyan can make some sweet potato delicacies. After all, the people who are willing to buy things now are rich people. What do rich people care about? The taste.

As long as the taste is to your liking, price is not an issue.

Thinking of this, Xu Wenyan already had an idea in mind. The staple food would be noodles, and for vegetarian noodles, he would add two slices of dandelions or other wild vegetables and an extra slice of mushroom.

The deluxe version can be added with eggs, sauerkraut, and clams, which cost three cents, two cents, and three cents respectively. If you add all three, you can save one cent.

In a few days, Chinese toon will be out of season, and the seasonal dish in the store is scrambled eggs with Chinese toon.

Once you have an idea, you start thinking about how to implement it.
