The grain in those people's hands was nowhere near as good as the grain in Gu Yunyang's hands.
The rice in Gu Yunyang's hand was long-grained, white, and exceptionally clean, with no pebbles inside.
It's already very white without any waxing.
During his earlier walk around, Gu Yunyang saw someone selling rice, and the rice in that person's hand was somewhat yellowish.
This is not because the rice has gone moldy, but because the processing steps during the hulling process were not refined enough.
In addition, the storage time is a bit long.
Therefore, the quality is not very good.
Gu Yunyang only needs to take out his rice to make it obvious to everyone at a glance whose rice is of better quality.
The so-called "rich and strong" flour is the same; how could it possibly compare to the fine white flour that Gu Yunyang brought out?
So Gu Yunyang quickly stopped under a tree and put down his basket.
Soon, people came to ask about the price.
What do you sell here?
"Rice, wheat flour, millet, sweet potatoes, chicken, and rabbit. What do you want? Take a look."
"Hey? Your rice is pretty good, and so is your flour."
The man lowered his head and, with the help of the not-so-bright light, saw the grain that Gu Yunyang had brought.
"That's certainly good. Look, there aren't any pebbles at all, and it even has the effect of shedding its shell."
The man was clearly pleased with the quality of the rice and asked the price again: "How much per pound?"
Gu Yunyang said, "Rice is 80 cents a pound, wheat flour is one dollar. Millet is 70 cents, sweet potatoes are 35 cents. Chickens are five dollars each, and rabbits are the same price."
"So expensive?"
The person who asked the price was shocked and couldn't believe their ears.
Gu Yunyang calmly said, "Look, the quality of my grain is so good, there are no impurities at all. This chicken weighs at least six pounds, and the rabbit is the same. This price is very reasonable. In fact, I think that if we consider the quality, my price is actually too low."
In fact, the other party also felt that the price was indeed not high.
But everyone wants to get a good deal, so the other party tried to lower the price as much as possible: "But everyone's price is the same, Uncle, your price is too high. If you maintain this price, you definitely won't be able to sell any."
Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "Even the best wine needs advertising."
But Gu Yunyang's good stuff is never afraid of not being able to sell.
The gatekeeper has already seen his things; if he comes a couple more times today, there will definitely be more to come.
Besides, his stuff is good to begin with, so he's not afraid of not having anyone wanting it.
In fact, at this stage, there is a nationwide food shortage.
Although the black market operator had enough food for himself, it wasn't enough to sell without limit.
Therefore, when Gu Yunyang showed that he had a lot of food, the gatekeepers got the idea.
Gu Yunyang remained calm and composed, not worried at all about his products not selling.
The man hesitated for a moment, but Gu Yunyang noticed that he was dressed well and probably wasn't short of money.
Since you're buying premium grain, and you're willing to spend six cents, surely you can afford eight cents?
Besides, the quality of this 80-cent rice is much better than that 60-cent rice.
Furthermore, in the next two years, grain supplies will become increasingly scarce, and prices will rise higher and higher.
The rice that Gu Yunyang is taking out now costs 80 cents.
The price after that is uncertain.
Although he has plenty of money and grain, he won't sell it at rock-bottom prices.
That's not compassion; it's telling others that fools with plenty of money and resources are coming quickly.
Gu Yunyang needs to conceal his identity, but he can't be too saintly either.
He wants to trade with the black market; even if he asks for a lower price, the black market won't lose money.
Therefore, there is no need to lower the price.
Sure enough, after a slight hesitation, the man nodded decisively: "Okay, then give me five jin of rice, five jin of flour, and five jin of sweet potatoes."
That's quite a lot.
"Okay, rice is 80 cents a pound, so five pounds is four dollars. Wheat flour is one dollar a pound, so five pounds is five dollars. Sweet potatoes are 30 cents a pound, so five pounds is one dollar and fifty cents, for a total of ten dollars and five cents."
After opening, many more people came to inquire about prices and buy grain.
