Time Travel: Remarrying a Little Wolf Dog

However, because his grandfather usually had a lot of grain stored at home and would not sell it easily, the families who wanted to take the opportunity to sell grain in a good year did not have much surplus grain, so He An often had to collect enough grain from several families to sell in one or two days.

This requires running back and forth frequently, and the soles of two pairs of shoes have been worn out.

As for the price of grain, it is all based on the market price.

The market price at that time was basically 800 wen per stone of millet, 680 wen per stone of corn, and 330 wen per stone of soybeans.

They were originally going to pay Grandfather He this price. Although they earned less this way, it was not a loss as it could help build the store's reputation before the summer harvest.

But Grandfather He firmly disagreed. This was his grandson's business, and if he didn't support it, no one would. However, Su Yan and He An also firmly stated that they must give money.

They knew what Grandpa He meant and were grateful for it.

But they are in their prime and have to rely on themselves for a living, so how could they take things from the elderly for free?

If Grandfather He didn't want money, they would buy it from other people and would never take something from an old man for free.

Grandfather He felt both relieved and sad when he heard this. On the one hand, he was relieved that his grandson was ambitious at a young age, could work hard with his grandson's wife, and had a positive character.

On the other hand, I feel sad that he has so many concerns at such a young age.

Even without He An saying anything, he knew what he was worried about.

The old man has many sons and grandchildren. If he takes something empty-handed, he is afraid that others will be dissatisfied. Even if he doesn't say anything, he will feel uncomfortable in his heart.

Alas, I’m old and can’t help myself.

If you are not careful about something, it is easy to be accused of being unfair.

Grandfather He thought about this for a while, and finally agreed with Su Yan and He An's approach.

But he rejected this offer outright. He already felt bad about his grandson giving him money. If he still paid him according to the market price, then what was the point of him funding his grandson to open a store?

Not worthy of being an old man.

Finally, he made the final decision and asked He An to pay him the cost price, 600 wen per stone of millet, 500 wen per stone of corn, and 250 wen per stone of soybeans.

He An saw that Grandfather He had made up his mind and he couldn't persuade him, so both sides took a step back and agreed with Grandfather He's opinion.

So these days he got grain from Grandfather He's house at this price.

Taking advantage of the spring breeze when the new grain has not yet arrived, Su Yan and his colleagues can sell about one stone, or about 120 kilograms, of grain on average every day, which includes millet, corn, and soybeans.

When harvesting his own grain, he could make an average profit of around 150 coins a day.

For the tribesmen, the price of grain is all based on the market price, so Su Yan and He An can only earn 40 cents a day at most.

However, He An was often busy all day long, collecting grain from people's homes, then transporting it back home and carrying it to the granary.

The workload is no less than carrying bags at the dock.

But compared to carrying a bag, not only is the money less, but you also have to pay for Su Yan, who is the waiter in the store.

This is how business works, once you open it, you can’t close it.

Otherwise, let alone a long time, if you close for a few days, everyone will think that your store has closed down and will not come here anymore.

Su Yan and He An had worked hard to make their store famous, so of course they wouldn't give up halfway.

So even though they made very little money, the two still insisted on opening the store every day.

It would be very hard work. He An would be responsible for collecting grain from the tribe and handling foreign affairs, while Su Yan would be responsible for everything in the store and at home.

Fortunately, she is not a woman who was raised in seclusion in ancient times and does not like to show up in public, nor is she a real country girl who is timid when encountering things.

After all, she grew up in modern times and had experience from her previous life. She greeted customers skillfully every day. She was not afraid of customers who wanted to take advantage of her because she was a woman in the store. She would politely refuse them.

He never made a mistake in weighing the grain and calculating the accounts, and the entire store was run by one person.

This made the surrounding neighbors amazed and they all praised her for her ability. When this news reached He's grandparents, they were even more overjoyed.

Every day I am happy, I seem to have fewer wrinkles and look younger.

Grandmother He even took a day off to come over to the store and take a look, and she found that Su Yan had indeed managed the store in perfect order.

His grandson was running outside to buy food, and he didn't worry about the store at all.

I didn't say anything at the time, but when I came back I whispered to Grandfather He in private about how good He An's taste was.

Grandmother He: "You didn't see it. When An was not at home, Su Yan would pull up a stool and sit in the store. When people came, she would come forward to greet them and talk about the things she sold in a very knowledgeable way. Every customer who came and went left with a smile on his face."

Grandmother He worked with Grandfather He when she was young and had seen the world. She said, "Our granddaughter-in-law is good at doing business. She always greets customers with a smile and speaks politely and honestly. She is also generous when weighing grain, and always tips the scale high. To be honest, even if the grain is weighed high, it doesn't mean much more is given out, but the customers are happy and they are all smiling when they leave. I think she will definitely come here next time when she wants to buy grain."

Grandfather He drank his tea slowly and listened until his wife finished speaking, then he continued: "He An is a good boy, and his grandson's wife is also sensible. The good days for them are still to come."

Grandmother He was impatient with his subtle way of speaking and glared at him: "Just sensible? Don't you know that Sun from the fifth family of our clan went over there to buy grain once, and when she came back and saw me, she praised our grandson's wife for her ability."

Grandfather He smiled when he saw her shaking her head like this, and said, "It's just that you are sensible. I don't know how many people in this world are better than you in this aspect of sensibility."

After thinking about it, he realized that she was his wife after all, so he would not tell anyone, otherwise he would not be able to praise his grandson's wife in public.

"When An came to me some time ago to talk about the money for buying food, I knew that our family had married a virtuous woman. An is certainly not the kind of person who takes advantage, but he has always been a bad talker. But when he came to me to talk about giving money that day, his words were so nice."

"He didn't even mention it because he was afraid that if other family members knew, there would be conflicts. He just said that he was a junior and it was not enough for him to be filial to his grandparents. How could he take their private property? He also said that he was at the age to work hard, so it was enough for us to give him more guidance, and he would earn the rest for his descendants."

"I don't believe that he thought that. Well, from that moment on I knew that their business would be good in the future. If nothing else, just the fact that they are good at talking and are sensible and honest will make the business of the store flourish."

It was the first time Grandma He heard her grandson say this.

He An went directly to Grandfather He to talk about giving the money. By the time the old man found out, the matter had already been settled. She even complained that her husband was obsessed with money and even accepted money from his own grandson.

After learning the details of what happened, Grandmother He was even happier and clapped her hands in applause: "An is ambitious, and Yanyan is sensible and capable. Oh, I was worried about them, but now it seems that they are ambitious and are going to earn their own fortune."

Now that she is older, what she likes to see most is this kind of motivated children.

As the saying goes, what your parents give you is not as good as what you work for yourself, and no matter how much your family gives you, it is not as good as your own ability.

Although An's parents are partial to him and his family business is small, he has such a virtuous wife and will slowly build up his family business in the future.
