Chapter 162 The Grain Shop of the World

Chapter 162 The world’s grain store

After finishing talking, Jiang Zhiyue left, but before leaving, she gave Qin Jin two hundred taels of silver to order them to tidy up the shop first, and then add everything they needed in the backyard.

Qin Jin moved very quickly, and in just three days, he had all the shelves in the shop ready, as well as large and small sacks.

This day happened to be the end of the month, so Jiang Zhiyue went to town with a small backpack on her back, took out two kilograms of various grains in the space and stacked them neatly in the house.

She also specially found sacks that contained grains that existed in this era, and put the grains into them.

After doing all these things, Jiang Zhiyue was already exhausted and sweating profusely. It was very mentally draining to change so many things into bags and then take them out.

She locked the door and randomly found a noodle stall in the town and ordered a bowl of noodles.

After eating the noodles, Jiang Zhiyue walked around the town again before going to the house behind the grain store.

The grain store hadn't opened yet, so Jiang Zhiyue couldn't go in through the front door. She entered the small house behind the grain store through the small door that entered the house three times.

When Jiang Zhiyue passed by, Qin Jin was taking the two brothers Feng San and Feng to clean up the yard.

In just three days, the place has been tidied up in a decent way, and there is no trace of the fact that this yard has not been occupied for a long time.

There were many rooms in the yard, and they reserved two for rest. In addition, they even packed up a kitchen room, saying that there was no need to go out and buy every meal.

The other rooms were set aside by them to store the grain they brought back. They had not yet gone to the yard where Jiang Zhiyue kept the grain.

The three of them abided by the rules set by Jiang Zhiyue and did not go to the yard at other times on the days set by Jiang Zhiyue.

Today happened to be the last day of the month. Qin Jin planned to wait until evening to take Feng San and Feng Si to collect food.

Otherwise, such a loud movement would have to draw everyone's attention to the small courtyard. The sound of Jiang Zhiyue opening the door successfully attracted the attention of the three people working in the courtyard.

They knew that the house connected to this house also belonged to Jiang Zhiyue, so they did not hang the door bolt here.

No, Jiang Zhiyue really came from here.

Feng San and Feng Si smiled and greeted, "Miss Jiang."

Jiang Zhiyue responded with a smile and asked casually: "Have you had lunch yet?"

Feng San smiled and said: "Not yet, the stove has just been set up."

Qin Jin also said: "Girl, it's a good chance that you're here. After we finish this work, let's go out to eat."

When Jiang Zhiyue heard that they hadn't eaten yet, she put her backpack on the table nearby and said, "I've already eaten. I guessed that you guys didn't have time to eat, so I bought you something when I came. I'll do it when you're done."

have eaten."

The three people quickly smiled and thanked: "Thank you very much, Miss Jiang."

The three of them kept busy and continued to finish the last bit of work in their hands.

Jiang Zhiyue went straight to the kitchen and took out a few plates. After washing them, she put the food that had been smuggled out of the space in her backpack into them.

Jiang Zhiyue didn't know what they liked to eat, so she took out a few items at random.

A roast duck, a plate of pig's trotters, a plate of spicy and sour chicken feet, a plate of cold lotus root slices and a plate of cold black fungus, and a dozen large meat buns and vegetarian buns were also brought out.

Because these are all taken out from the space, they are all cold, but most of them are cold dishes, so I am not afraid that they will be suspicious.

Although the buns are cold, they are still soft and don't delay eating.

When Qin Jin and the others packed up their things and saw Jiang Zhiyue setting a table full of things, they were all pleasantly surprised. While eating, the three of them reported to Jiang Zhiyue what had happened in the past few days.

The grain store has been taken care of, all that is needed is to put up the plaque and then bring the grain over.

"We also inquired about the price of food. The current price on the market is the same as the previous price. We have set the price for the period after the store opens."

Qin Jin said and took out a small notebook, in which he remembered everything clearly. Jiang Zhiyue could understand it clearly at a glance.

Jiang Zhiyue looked at what was written on it and found it was much more comprehensive than what she had learned before she decided to open a food store.

Jiang Zhiyue nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How about the perfect plan you mentioned?" Qin Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl, everything is ready."

Jiang Zhiyue saw that he looked like an old fox and had no doubt about the authenticity of her words.

In addition to them, there are three grain shops in this town, two of which are owned by wealthy merchants, and the other one is opened by the men of the fourth prince who are disguised as businessmen.

Qin Jin Jingran even inquired about this. Jiang Zhiyue looked at the record in the book about the fourth prince's Juxin Grain Store, and an evil idea came to her mind. She wanted to kill the fourth prince.

She said to Qin Jin who was eating: "This Juxin Grain Store has the support of the fourth prince and the noble concubine, and they must have stronger financial resources. You can get more out of their hands."

Qin Jin was stunned when he heard this, and asked doubtfully: "Has this fourth prince ever provoked a girl?" Otherwise, why did he specifically order him to trick the fourth prince's grain shop?

Jiang Zhiyue said angrily: "No, but they bullied A Ming in the capital! I want to vent his anger."

Don't think he doesn't know that it was the fourth prince who did all the bad things to A Ming's family and even wanted to kill A Ming. It took Qin Jin a while to realize who Jiang Zhiyue was talking about.

Qin Jin laughed a little when he heard Jiang Zhiyue's childish words.

At this time, there is someone who is so sincere to the prince.

If that arrogant prince knew about it, the corners of his mouth would be raised to the sky.

Qin Jin is of the same generation as King An, and can be regarded as half of Ouyang Ming's elders.

When he was sent to this small town, he didn't quite understand why, but now he understands a little bit.

With this Miss Jiang here, the prince should be worried about others coming to do this task.

After the meal, Qin Jin carried the plaque of the grain store back and hung it up. It had the four characters "Taiping Grain Store" written on it. It was Qin Jin who took Ouyang Ming's calligraphy and asked someone to engrave it on it. The characters are elegant and unrestrained.

The location of the grain store is excellent. When Feng San and Feng Si hung up the plaque, all the passers-by saw it. A literate passerby read out the four characters "Taiping Liangpu" aloud.

Hearing that it was a newly opened grain store, passers-by stopped to look at it. Jiang Zhiyue stood in the crowd and watched together.

The voices of those who stopped here also reached the ears of everyone.

"Our town is not that big. We already have three grain stores. Why open another one? The price of grain is so high now that no one will rush to buy it.'

Passers-by echoed his words.

"Yeah, what difference does it make if we open another one? I see, even if this grain store opens, no one will patronize it." "If their grain prices are lower than the other three, I would be willing to buy some."

"Return to Taiping Food Store, how can there be any peace in this world."

Passers-by were chatting constantly. Jiang Zhiyue was hidden in the crowd and listened quietly. Feng San and Feng Si, who were hanging the plaques, did not say anything.

The news that another grain store had opened in the town quickly spread to every household, including the other three grain merchants.

Without exception, the three grain merchants did not take the matter reported by their servants to heart.

It's just a matter of adding another grain store, which won't take away much business from them.

Soon these people will regret their current ideas.

Because not only were they robbed of their business, they also lost a lot of money.

There really isn't even a place to cry out about suffering and injustice.

But these are all things for later. Now, Feng San and Feng Si have hung up the plaque.

After hanging the plaque, the two said a few words about opening the business tomorrow and asking everyone to come and support it, then closed the door and returned to the yard.

Waiting until late at night, Qin Jin took Feng San and Feng Si to push the cart to the small courtyard Jiang Zhiyue mentioned.

They still underestimated the amount of food. When they saw the food piled up in the house, they were so shocked that they almost forgot what they were here for.

Feng San excitedly ran to the house and opened a bag of grain, grabbed a handful and looked at it carefully.

He was surprised and said: "Mr. Qin, they are all good food."

"Where did Miss Jiang get such a friend? How she could get so much food? I'm afraid it's not something ordinary people can do."

Qin Jin warned: "Don't inquire about things you shouldn't know. Let's just do good things for the prince and the prince."

Feng San and Feng Si repeatedly promised not to pry around, and then the three of them began to carry the bags of grain onto the carts, and then carried them to the shop again and again.

It was silent in the middle of the night, except for the breathing sounds of Qin Jin and the others and the sound of the wheels rolling.

They originally thought that a few hundred kilograms of grain would be enough for the first time, but who knew there would be so much, and it took them a whole night to haul all the grain into the shop.

The three of them took a short rest and waited for the opening at noon the next day.

After returning home yesterday, Jiang Zhiyue told her family that she was going to town today, and asked a few people to follow her to town.

Jiang Zhiyue's purpose in sending them to the town was also to clean up the Sanjin house together.

That way, they don't have to rush back if something happens.

Jiang Yuchao could also live there with Wulang Liulang and Ming Yixi Ming Yuanqing, without having to run back and forth between town and village all day long.

The Jiang family knew about buying a house, but they really didn't know about opening a grain store in the town.

Jiang Zhiyue only said that Ouyang Ming arranged for someone to open the shop.

But when the Jiang family thought about the last time Li Wen came to their house for dinner and said he couldn't buy food, they knew that this shop must be related to Jiang Zhiyue.

Jiang Yuchao took her four children to school as usual.

Except for a few old people and Xiao Wang who were at home with their two children, everyone else followed Jiang Zhiyue to the town.

Jiang Dalang and the others had not yet gone to the county to find a suitable school, because they found that Mr. Bai was very knowledgeable, even more knowledgeable than Bai Yifeng, so they regarded him as their master.

So even Mr. Bai said he was going to town to join in the fun.

If there was a suitable house in the town, he would take Jiang Dalang and the others to live there and give them lessons.

Several people wished for it and went to the town together.
