That night, those who bought all the grain from Xiangrui Grain Store as traveling merchants pulled a team of carts around the outside of the city and then went to the farm of Manager Sun and others.
Shopkeepers Wang and Du looked at the high-quality grain brought back by their men, and the pain of losing tens of thousands of taels of silver finally eased.
When the grain was pulled back to Manager Sun's farm, Manager Sun was making love with his new concubine in the house.
When he heard that the food had been brought back, he could not bear to leave the beautiful bride in his arms, so he went to the yard with the new concubine who was in disheveled clothes.
After confirming that all the grains were correct, Shopkeeper Sun laughed and said, "Tomorrow, we will take these grains to our own shop and sell them. The price must be higher than the best quality grains in the store!"
"Humph, I don't know what we can do if those people can't buy food and don't come here."
The next day, when the people in the town wanted to go to Xiangrui Grain Shop to buy grain, they were surprised to find a proof sign hanging on the door of Xiangrui Grain Shop.
If it was just one day, it would be fine, but for several days in a row, the same sign was hung outside the Xiangrui Grain Store, and there was no movement at all.
Those families who had no food left could only go to the other three or two grain stores to buy food.
It turned out that I found the same grain in their store as in Xiangrui Grain Store.
But the price is much higher than that of Xiangrui Grain Shop.
The waiter at the grain shop looked at the people who came to buy grain helplessly with no good face at all, and almost carved the four big words "buy it if you want or not" on his forehead.
But the people who came to this place to buy grain had run out of grain at home. Even if they were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to buy. In their hearts, they hoped that Xiangrui Grain Shop would open soon so as to put an end to the arrogance of these people.
During the few days when Xiangrui Grain Store was closed, people kept discovering that the other three grain stores in the town had grain from Xiangrui Grain Store for sale, and the prices were all ridiculously high.
Rumors also began to spread in the town that the owner of Xiangrui Grain Store was not trustworthy.
Rumor has it that the owner of Xiangrui Grain Store did not keep his promise when it opened the store. He found a buyer who offered a higher price and was no longer willing to sell grain to the people in the town.
Since it is a rumor, some people believe it and some don't.
But Xiangrui Grain Store had not been open for seven days in a row, and those who were unwilling to believe were gradually shaken.
Just when the rumor was getting more and more popular, Xiangrui Grain Store reopened, filled with food, which naturally dispelled the rumor.
Moreover, after the grain shop reopened, the price of each type of grain was one cent lower than the original price.
The people who knew the news were happy, but the owners of the other three grain stores were not happy.
The price of the same grain at Xiangrui Grain Shop is so much lower than that at other grain shops. Even a fool would know how to choose.
The three shopkeepers all believed that Xiangrui Grain Store had no grain in stock, but now not only is there grain, but the price has also been reduced!
They really had no way to express their grievances, and they had no reason to go to Xiangrui Grain Store to question them.
The shopkeeper, who was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger, could only vent it on the servants who disguised themselves as traveling merchants to buy grain from Xiangrui Grain Store.
"You are a bunch of idiots. Didn't you say you saw the food being taken away with your own eyes? What's going on now?!"
The servant who was kicked away was in great pain. He knelt on the ground with tears and snot streaming down his face.
"Master, we saw with our own eyes that all the food was taken away. Even the grain stores in town were not spared."
Seeing that the huge body of Shopkeeper Sun was about to hit him again, the servant said quickly: "Maybe the Xiangrui Grain Shop has more than that much grain."
