After finishing the discussion, Shen Yu'an left, but before leaving he gave Liang Hui two hundred taels of silver and asked them to tidy up the shop first, and then buy the things needed for the backyard.
Liang Hui acted very quickly. In just three days, he had prepared all the necessary shelves for the shop and stocked all the large and small sacks.
It was the end of the month, and Shen Yu'an went to the town carrying a small backpack. He took out two thousand kilograms of various foods in the space and piled them neatly in the house.
She also specially found sacks for storing grain that were available at that time and transferred the grain into them.
After finishing all these things, Shen Yu'an was already sweating profusely. It was still very mentally exhausting to change bags and take out so many things.
She locked the door and randomly found a noodle stall in the town and ordered a bowl of noodles.
After eating the noodles, Shen Yu'an walked around the town again before going to the house behind the grain shop.
The grain shop had not yet opened, so Shen Yu'an could not enter through the front door. Instead, he entered the small courtyard behind the grain shop through the small door of the third courtyard.
When Shen Yu'an went over, Liang Hui was taking the Feng San and Feng Si brothers to tidy up the yard.
In just three days, the place had been tidied up and there was no sign that the yard had been uninhabited for a long time.
There are many houses in the yard. They reserved two for resting. In addition, they even cleaned up a kitchen, saying that there is no need to buy food for every meal.
The other rooms were used by them to store the food they brought back.
They hadn't yet gone to the yard where Shen Yu'an stored the grain.
The three of them abided by the rules set by Shen Yu'an and did not go to the yard at other times on the days set by Shen Yu'an.
Today happens to be the last day of this month. Liang Hui plans to wait until evening before taking Feng San and Feng Si with him to get food.
Otherwise, such a loud noise would definitely draw everyone's attention to that small courtyard.
The sound of Shen Yu'an opening the door successfully attracted the attention of three people who were busy in the yard.
They knew that the house connected to this one also belonged to Chen Yu'an, so they didn't put a bolt on the door.
Look, Shen Yu'an really came here.
Feng San and Feng Si greeted with a smile, "Miss Shen."
Shen Yu'an also responded with a smile, and asked casually: "Have you had lunch?"
Feng San smiled and said, "Not yet. The stove has just been built."
Liang Hui also said: "Miss, you came at the right time. After we finish this work, let's go out to eat."
When Shen Yuan heard them say they hadn't eaten yet, he put the backpack on the table beside him and said, "I've already eaten. I guessed you didn't have time to eat, so I bought some food for you when I came. You can eat when you're done."
The three of them hurriedly smiled and thanked him: “Thank you very much, Miss Shen.”
The three of them kept busy, finishing the last bit of work in their hands.
Shen Yu'an went straight to the kitchen and took out a few plates. After washing them, he put the food that he had smuggled out of the space into the backpack.
Shen Yu'an didn't know what they liked to eat, so he just took out a few dishes at random.
There was 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, in addition to a dozen large meat buns and vegetarian buns.
Since these were all taken out from the space, they were all cold, but most of them were cold dishes, so there was no need to worry about them becoming suspicious.
Although the buns are cold, they are still soft and can be eaten.
When Liang Hui and the other two had packed up their things and saw the table full of things laid out by Shen Yu'an, they were all very surprised.
While eating, the three of them reported to Shen Yuan about the situation in the past few days.
The grain shop has been set up, all that’s left is to make and put up the signboard and then bring the grain over.
"We have also inquired about the price of grain. We have the current market prices and the previous prices. We have decided on the price for the period after the shop opens."
Liang Hui said as he took out a small notebook, on which everything was recorded clearly, and Shen Yu'an could see everything at a glance.
Shen Yu'an looked at the things written on it, which were much more comprehensive than what she had learned before she decided to open a grain shop.
Shen Yu'an nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "So how is the plan you mentioned being perfected?"
Liang Hui smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl. Everything is ready."
Seeing that he looked like an old fox, Shen Yu'an did not doubt the truth of her words at all.
In addition to them, there are three other grain shops in this town. Two of them are owned by wealthy merchants, and the other one is run by the Fourth Prince's subordinates who are disguised as merchants.
Liang Hui actually found out this. Shen Yu'an looked at the record about the Fourth Prince's Juxin Grain Shop in the notebook and an evil idea popped up in her mind. She wanted to give the Fourth Prince a good meal.
She said to Liang Hui who was eating, "This Juxin Grain Store has the support of the Fourth Prince and the Imperial Concubine behind them. They must have more financial resources. You can get more out of them."
Liang Hui was stunned and asked in confusion: "Has the Fourth Prince ever flirted with a girl?" Otherwise, why would he specifically instruct him to cheat more of the Fourth Prince's grain shop?
Shen Yuan said angrily: "No, but they bullied A Che in the capital! I want to vent his anger."
Don't think he doesn't know. It was the Fourth Prince who did all kinds of bad things to Ache's family and wanted to kill Ache.
It took Liang Hui a while to realize who A Che was that Shen Yu'an was talking about.
Liang Hui couldn't help laughing when listening to Shen Yu'an's childish words.
At this moment, there is actually someone who is so sincere to the prince.
If that arrogant prince knew about this, I’m afraid his lips would curl up to the sky.
Liang Hui is of the same generation as King Wuding, and can be considered half-elder of Fei Yanche.
When he was originally sent to this small town, he didn't quite understand why, but now he seems to understand a little bit.
With this Miss Shen here, the prince must be worried about other people coming to do this task.
After the meal, Liang Hui brought back the grain shop's plaque and hung it up. On it were inscribed four large characters: Auspicious Grain Shop. Liang Hui had Fei Yanche's calligraphy engraved there. The characters were elegant and graceful.
The grain shop had an excellent geographical location. When Feng San and Feng Si hung up the plaque, passers-by could see it.
A literate passerby read out loud the four characters "Xiangrui Grain Shop".
Hearing that it was a newly opened grain shop, passers-by stopped to watch, and Shen Yu'an stood in the crowd and watched with them.
The conversations of the people who stopped by also reached everyone's ears.
"Our town is not that big, and we already have three grain stores. Why open another one? The grain prices are ridiculously high now, and no one will rush to buy it."
Passersby echoed his words.
