Chapter 23 Asking for Price at the Grain Store
Slowly, Yunjia Village became quiet. Everyone fell asleep. The city gate was still a distance away from here. Even if there was some noise over there, the sound coming over was very small. It didn't affect sleep at all. Only the two people on duty were still insisting. They sat down for a while, then stood up and walked around the entire camp. The fire in the middle was not extinguished until dawn.
At this time, Zhang and Yun the Butcher had already gotten up and were preparing to cook. Breakfast was simple. Zhang was going to boil water and make a bowl of fried noodles for everyone. She also gave each of the children a boiled egg. Yun Yiyi had already woken up when she heard the noise. Last night, there were too many people around, so she didn't go to the space, so she went to bed early. She woke up early this morning as well.
Soon, Zhang's meal was ready, and she called the children to eat. After eating, Yun the Butcher and Yun Yiyi unloaded everything on the donkey cart and put it aside. After Li Xiucai and Zhang the Hunter came over, the village chief gave one copy of the purchase list to Yun the Butcher and another to Li Xiucai. The silver that the villagers gave to buy things was also divided equally between Yun the Butcher and Li Xiucai. Yun the Butcher took a look and saw that most of them were for buying food, and only a small part was for buying oil, salt, and cloth. In addition, there were also medicinal herbs that Uncle Wu specifically asked to buy.
"Mr. Li, let's each buy half of the grain. It doesn't matter if we buy a different variety. You and Hunter Zhang go buy the medicinal herbs. Yiyi and I will buy oil, salt, and cloth. Let's meet at the city gate in the evening. What do you think?" Butcher Yun asked Mr. Li and Hunter Zhang.
"Okay, Brother Yun. Let's set off quickly." Li Xiucai and Zhang the Hunter discussed and replied. "Go to the grain store first to see if there is any old grain. If there is old grain, buy it. Old grain is cheaper than new grain, so you can buy more. If there is no old grain, buy the cheaper ones. Don't worry about whether it tastes good or not." The village chief specifically instructed Yun the Butcher, Li Xiucai and Zhang the Hunter. Yun the Butcher and the others nodded in agreement, then said goodbye to everyone and drove the car towards the city entrance.
At this time, the square at the city gate was not as crowded as yesterday. Many people who got up early went to the back to relieve themselves, so there was a large gap. The donkey cart could easily pass through the square. When they arrived at the city gate, Yun the butcher found the soldier Xiaobai and handed him two taels of silver. He also asked the soldier Xiaobai to wait until they came out of the city before leaving get off work. The soldier Xiaobai agreed.
Butcher Yun drove his donkey cart into the city. Yun Yiyi found that the city wall was very high. The bottom of the wall was built with long stones, and the upper part of the wall was made of bricks, which were very neat. It looked very imposing.
After entering the city, we first crossed a long street, and then Yun the Butcher drove towards the East District of the city. Before entering the city, Officer Xiaobai specifically told us that it was best to go to the East District of the city to buy things. It was a civilian area, and the products were more affordable. There were grain stores, grocery stores, and cloth stores. However, if we wanted to buy medicine, we had to go to the West District of the city. There were no medicine stores in the East District, and all the medicine stores were in the West District of the city.
The West District is the wealthy area of the city. There are the most restaurants, high-end clothing stores, and drugstores. To buy medicine, you need to visit several drugstores and find a drugstore called Ren De. That drugstore is a chain store with many branches, the most complete range of medicinal materials, and the most affordable prices.
When they reached the East District and turned onto a street with a grain store, Li Xiucai and Zhang the Hunter parked their car in front of the store and went in to buy grain. Yun the Butcher and Yun Yiyi separated from them and continued walking forward.
The street was very long, and almost all the shops were open. Along the way, Yun Yiyi found many snack shops, cloth shops, and grocery stores. However, the shops didn't look big, usually around 30 square meters. Yun Yiyi looked inside the shops, and saw that they were all simply decorated. It was estimated that the prices of the items sold would not be very high. Yun the butcher thought about buying food first, and then buying other things after buying food. At this time, buying food was the most important thing.
They walked all the way to the end of the street, but didn't find any grain store. So, Yun the Butcher and Yun Yiyi went to the adjacent street to look for a grain store. They walked all the way to the middle of the street before they found a grain store. The grain store looked quite large, and there were more than a dozen people queuing up at the door to buy grain. Yun the Butcher parked his donkey cart in the open space next to the grain store, and then went to queue up. There was a special parking space outside the grain store, and there were also shop assistants to help watch over it, so there was no need to worry about losing the cart.
Yun the butcher was waiting in line, so Yun Yiyi walked around to the entrance of the grain store and looked inside. The store was very large, about 60 square meters. On the east and west sides of the store, wooden barrels were placed, and from a distance, they contained soybeans, mung beans, millet, corn, peanuts and other grains.
There was a counter in the middle of the store, and behind it was a middle-aged man with a beard. Next to the counter were layers of sacks, and Yun Yiyi counted them and found that there were eight layers. There were six young men scattered around the store, weighing and packing grain for customers.
The young man was very efficient and Yun the Butcher lined up in the store very quickly. Yun the Butcher walked around the store and then walked towards the counter.
"Boss, what's the price of grain now? I'm here to buy grain on behalf of the village. I'm buying a lot, so you'd better give me a cheaper price." Yun the butcher bowed to the boss and said.
"Hello, fellow. Come over here and take a look. I'll tell you the price. If you order a lot, the price will definitely be cheaper." The shopkeeper came out from behind the counter and answered with a smile as he led Yun the butcher to see the grain.
"The price of millet is now fifty wen per catty, rice is one hundred wen per catty, corn flour is forty wen per catty, and wheat flour is one hundred wen per catty. Soybeans and mung beans are both twenty wen per catty, and peanuts are fifty wen per catty. We also have sweet potatoes here, which are twenty wen per catty, and potatoes are thirty wen per catty. These are all in stock now." The shopkeeper quoted all the prices.
"Boss, I need one thousand kilograms of corn flour, one hundred kilograms of millet, one hundred kilograms of mung beans, two thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes, and three thousand kilograms of potatoes. Please give me a lowest price." Yun the butcher said politely.
In Yunjia Village, people usually eat more wheat flour and corn flour. However, wheat flour is too expensive now, so it is better to buy corn flour. At this time, the taste is not important, as long as it is edible. After buying millet, each family can only share a few pounds. Mung beans must also be bought. Uncle Wu specifically explained that mung beans can be boiled in water to relieve summer heat, so every family must prepare some. Although sweet potatoes and potatoes can be eaten as meals. However, sweet potatoes are not as durable as potatoes. Sweet potatoes are easy to rot, so buy more potatoes.
When the journey is tight, you can build a fire and bury the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the fire. When they are cooked, you can eat them. It is convenient and delicious. Yun the butcher thought silently in his heart. Otherwise, add 100 kilograms of corn flour, 200 kilograms of potatoes, and 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes. You can pay for what you want. There are many children in the family, so you must store more food. Yun the butcher thought about the money Zhang gave him, which was enough.
