Because of driving a ox cart, the time to get to town was shortened a lot.
It was almost noon when everyone arrived in the town. They had eaten before setting off, and were now taken directly by Chen Yu'an to the location in front of the grain store.
Although the opening of a grain store is not as lively as the opening of a restaurant or pastry shop, it is my own store after all, so I still have to go and support it.
In addition to Shen Yu'an and his group, there were quite a few other people standing on the street outside the grain shop, but most of them just happened to pass by and stayed to watch the fun.
Whenever a new shop opens, the shop owner will scatter money in front of the shop for the sake of festivity and good omen, so those who stay here are not standing here for no reason.
Mr. Ji stroked his beard and said calmly, "Xiangrui Grain Shop, this name has a good meaning."
"You own this grain store?"
Shen Yuan smiled and reminded, "It's A-Che's shop, and the man is his, I just bought a stake."
Mr. Ji smiled and did not respond. He looked up at the area above the shop covered with red silk.
Now the plaque engraved with "Auspicious Grain Shop" is covered with red silk, and a string of firecrackers is hung on each side of the wide-open door.
Just at noon, Liang Hui came out with Feng San and Feng Si.
Liang Hui smiled and said a few happy words, then asked Feng San and Feng Si to light the firecrackers.
As the firecrackers went off, copper coins started to be scattered again, and those who were quick could grab several.
Shen Dalang raised his hand and caught a copper coin that was thrown towards them.
He wanted to hand it to Shen Yu'an, but Shen Yu'an stopped him and said with a smile: "This is a good omen, big brother, keep it for yourself. When you go back, let mother string it together for you with a red thread and hang it around your neck."
Shen Dalang laughed. How could he not hear that the little girl was teasing him?
"You clever little girl."
Shen Dalang tapped Shen Yu'an's forehead, smiled, and put the copper coin back into his palm.
Just as everyone outside was still bending over and scrambling for copper coins, Feng San came out with a smooth, tall wooden board with the prices of various grains in the shop written on it.
When there was no more copper coins left to fight over, everyone looked up and saw the board standing in front of the shop.
Immediately, a literate passerby read it out in a low voice, and the voice became louder and louder the more he read.
The reason is that the price is at least 20% lower than the prices of the three original grain shops in the town.
Someone asked in surprise, "Shopkeeper, is what this man said true? Is the price of your grain really like this?"
After that, he murmured carefully, "I'm afraid it's some young master who came out to have fun and didn't find out the price clearly before opening the shop."
Liang Hui and the others were just worried that no one would ask, so he smiled and replied, "This price is just as the young man said just now. The price is fair and there will be no mistakes."
In fact, the prices written on the wooden boards they brought out were not cheap compared to previous years.
But compared with the current food prices, it is indeed a better choice.
This is more than twice the price of grain compared to the year before.
Someone laughed and said, "You gave it this auspicious name, isn't it because your grain prices are cheaper than other families?"
Liang Hui smiled but did not answer the question.
However, the low price of grain in Xiangrui Grain Shop has also attracted many people's doubts.
Someone asked in confusion: "Your grain prices are so low, aren't you selling old grain or moldy and spoiled grain mixed in?"
After these words were spoken, the other excited people calmed down and waited for Liang Hui to explain.
Liang Hui was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Everyone can check the grain when they buy it. Now the grain is in the shop. If you have any doubts, you can go in and check it out."
Several people walked in immediately, and Shen Dalang also went in to join in the fun and take a look.
The door of the shop was open, and people standing outside could see what was going on inside. The person who went in bent down, reached into the bag, grabbed a handful of rice, and put it in his hand to look at it.
The shop was so small that not everyone could go in and take a look, so those outside could only anxiously ask, "Is the food moldy?"
The person inside did not reply, but walked excitedly to other open grain bags and grabbed a handful to examine them carefully.
In order to prevent the store from putting the good food on top and the inferior food at the bottom to pass it off as the good kind, people even reached down to scoop it up.
But without exception, the grains of food held in the palms were full.
"How's it going?"
The people outside couldn't help but ask again.
One person walked out excitedly and said loudly: "It's all good grain. The quality is much better than that of the other grain shops in our town."
Soon after, the other people who had gone in also came out, echoing what that person had said.
Someone immediately turned around and asked Feng San to weigh out ten kilograms of food for him, as if he was afraid that there would not be enough.
Shen Dalang came out of the grain shop and returned to the Shen family.
Thinking about the food I just saw in the shop, it is indeed much better than what I usually see.
And it happened that Shen Dalang often saw grain of this quality in his home.
He seldom saw his family members buying food, but the food in the jar would always gradually increase just before it was almost gone.
The women in the family basically all knew about it, and no one asked about it.
Thinking back to what Shen Yu'an had just said, this shop belonged to Fei Yanche, what else was there to not understand?
It must be something that came out of his sister's little treasure chest, and he was selling it under Fei Yanche's name.
When Shen Dalang thought about this, he thought a little more, but the grains that Shen Yu'an brought out were of good quality and the price was lower than the current price, so it could be considered a benefit to the people, so he didn't care about it anymore.
The fact that the man just turned around and bought ten kilograms of food really shocked them, and they wondered if it was really that good?
Seeing this, everyone wanted to squeeze in, and Liang Hui had to stand out to stop the noisy crowd.
What a joke. The price he set was to attract other grain farmers to take action against them. If the grain is gone before the 15th of this month, how can he implement his plan?
Liang Hui had apparently forgotten what Shen Yu'an had said about not having to worry about food while implementing the strategy they were talking about.
He said loudly: "Don't worry, all the food in the store will not increase in price, and there is enough food."
"Everyone just needs to wait until their families are short of food before coming back."
Liang Hui's words did calm some people's hearts, and a few people looked at the pleasing and full food and still bought three or two kilograms to take back.
There was a lot of noise in front of the grain shop for a while. After watching the excitement, the Shen family left.
They came to the town not only to watch the fun, but also to clean up the house.
