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

Hu Zi said excitedly, "Yes."

Who wouldn’t be happy to be needed by the master?

On the opening day, everyone came except a few who were going to school.

Even the old man was present.

When the time comes, firecrackers are set off and the whole family tears off the red cloth covering the plaque.

Zhou Gu said loudly: "Zhou Ji Mountain Goods Store is open today, and we are looking forward to seeing you, our neighbors!"

Zhou Guo smiled softly and said, "Mother, Master, Sister, you see, Big Brother is not afraid of facing so many people now."

Li said, "Didn't you hear it? The last word was trembling."

Zhou Xing couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Guo said: "That's a big improvement. If it was last year, he wouldn't have dared to go up. It's good to see progress."

The old man nodded and said, "That's right. In time, this child will be able to stand on his own."

The crowd looked at the sign and heard Zhou Gu's words, and asked curiously: "Mountain Goods Shop? They sell mountain goods inside? What kind of mountain goods?"

"How do you sell it?"

Zhou Gu practiced the first few sentences over and over in private for a long time, and finally finished reciting them. Now, facing so many people's questions, sweat broke out on his forehead.

Zhou Guo stepped forward to help out and said with a smile, "You're right. The mountain product shop sells mountain products. It sells the best flower mushrooms and goat mushrooms, all of which are dried, as well as salted duck eggs and preserved eggs. The shop is small, so it can't sell much.

Today is the first day of opening. As long as you enter the shop, you can get eggs. Everything is half price. This will last for three days. After three days, the price will not be the same. You will have to pay half the price if you buy again. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss this shop. Let's go in."

"Hey, it's half price, let's go in and take a look."

"Hey, do you give me eggs whenever I come into the store? Is there any way I can get them if I don't buy them?"

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "You can get two eggs even if you don't buy them. Just come into the shop and you can get two eggs."

As soon as the words came out, the crowd of onlookers rushed in.

"Hurry, hurry, come on. There are eggs for you to take even if you don't buy any. You can take two eggs at a time. We'll go in and take two eggs later, and come back later. We can take a lot of eggs in a day."

Zhou Guo twitched his lips. Really, can't you speak more quietly when you say that?

Li was worried: "What should we do? How many eggs are needed?"

Zhou Gu and Zhou Xing were still very angry, "How can this be? They are taking advantage of others and never get enough. Who can waste eggs like this?"

Zhou Xing said to Zhou Guo, "You should think of a solution. We are selling them at half price anyway, how much money will we lose? We bought these eggs for two cents each."

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Let them go. I've already said it, how can I take it back? Besides, with them coming in and out of the shop, people can see that the shop is full all day long. When there are many people in the shop, naturally people passing by will want to take a look, so it's not completely without benefits."

Can she not afford the money for a few eggs?

It was originally intended to serve as a promotion for the shop.

There were ten people working in the small shop today, including Huzi and Zhou Guo, and there were two more people at the door helping to distribute eggs.

There were too many people going in, but luckily there were few things in the shop and the furnishings were simple.

"Top-quality goat mushrooms are 300 wen per jin, medium-quality ones are 220 wen per jin, and low-quality ones are 140 wen per jin. Top-quality dried flower mushrooms are 220 wen per jin, medium-quality ones are 140 wen per jin, and low-quality ones are 88 wen per jin. Salted duck eggs are 2 wen each, and preserved eggs are 3 wen each!"

"Oh my god, why is it so expensive?!"

"This is not selling mountain products, this is simply robbery. Whose flower mushrooms cost more than 200 coins per pound? Ordinary ones only cost 50 or 60. Where can I find flower mushrooms like this? I want to pick them too. They are so shameless in order to get rich. How can we have never eaten flower mushrooms? This is too expensive!!"

It is really expensive, how can it be so expensive? Who can afford it?

Everyone is dissatisfied. When did sheep mushrooms become so expensive?

The small shop was in an uproar, and everyone was dissatisfied. Why were these things sold so expensively? Wasn't this treating them like fools?

Zhou Guo waited for them to stop making noise, and said slowly: "Dear neighbors, you also know how difficult it is to find goat mushrooms and flower mushrooms. Not many goat mushrooms are brought down from the mountain every year during the season. When fresh goat mushrooms are the most expensive, they can even be sold for fifty coins per pound.

It takes eight or nine catties of fresh goat mushrooms to exchange for one catty of dried ones. I only charge you three hundred coins for one catty of the best dried goat mushrooms. That's enough. I have to eat, right? Besides, this stuff is three hundred coins per catty. If you can't afford a catty, then buy it by the pound, one or two. It won't cost much to buy it and stew it in soup."

"What about this flower mushroom?"

Zhou Guo smiled, "It's the same with flower mushrooms. You need ten kilograms of flower mushrooms to get one kilogram of dried ones. One kilogram of dried flower mushrooms is a lot. Even if you make soup with them every day, you can eat them for a month or two. It's only two hundred and twenty coins per kilogram. It's a good deal. If you buy one or two kilograms, you'll have enough to make soup all winter long."

She sold them to the restaurant for 300 wen per pound. Of course, they were all top-quality goods. What she sold here were all the leftovers from the restaurant.

When everyone heard this, they hesitated, as if it made some sense.

Zhou Guo added, "Moreover, goat mushrooms and flower mushrooms are mountain delicacies. As the saying goes, mountain delicacies and seafood delicacies are not cheap, right? They are even more expensive when sold dried. It is usually hard to buy them. If you want to eat them, you have to wait year after year until the mushrooms are ready to eat."

Li shouted from outside: "Hey, here are your eggs, two, take them."

When many people heard that someone had taken the eggs, they rushed to the door, fearing that they would be too late and that they had all been taken by others.

Zhou Guo was afraid that someone would be squeezed and fall, so he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, don't worry, there are all, everyone has two eggs!!"

Some people who were living a good life and didn't care about the two eggs asked Zhou Guo, "You said that today's price is half, so the top-quality goat mushrooms are 300 coins per pound, and I only need 150 coins today?"

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Yes, everything above is half price today. Salted duck eggs are one cent each, and preserved eggs are three cents for two. This price is only for three days. After three days, everything will no longer be this price."

When they heard this, they were very happy. The inferior sheep mushrooms were 140 cents per pound, and they bought the best quality sheep mushrooms at half the price. What a good deal!

"Then I want two kilograms of top-quality goat mushrooms and two kilograms of top-quality flower mushrooms!"

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Okay, I'll weigh it for you."

"I want three catties of low-quality goat mushrooms and three catties of low-quality flower mushrooms. I wanted to buy some in the spring to dry and store for winter, but there aren't many this year, so the ones I bought are only enough for the time being, and I can't dry anything."

At half price, it won’t cost you much to buy it.

"I'll buy a pound too. I can't afford goat mushrooms, but I can afford flower mushrooms. I'll buy some to stew with chicken and they're so delicious."

Zhou Gu and the young men were busy as hell.
