Seeing this, I was so excited that I wanted to buy these whole grains home immediately.
The quality of the Lin family's coarse grains is exactly the same as those sold for seven copper coins in the town, and they are even better than what they sell!
"Miss Lin, the coarse grains in this town are selling for seven copper coins a pound. Are you really selling them for five copper coins a pound?"
The villagers who had previously not believed that Lin Jiuyue could sell it for five copper coins per pound now asked in disbelief.
Lin Jiuyue always had a smile on her face.
"Well, no matter how many copper coins others sell a pound of coarse grain for, I sell it to the villagers in our village for five copper coins a pound."
The villagers received Lin Jiuyue's affirmative answer again, and the wrinkles on their faces deepened with joy.
"Oh, Miss Lin, you are such a good person!"
He said good things about Lin Jiuyue, but in his heart he despised her.
This girl from the Lin family doesn't look like she's cut out for business! Others are selling coarse grains for seven copper coins a pound, but she only sells them for five.
This one catty cost two copper coins less than others. One hundred catties was two hundred copper coins.
The cart she brought back must have weighed several hundred kilograms, and she was suddenly short of more than one or two taels of silver.
Just over one ounce of silver! How much food can that buy?
"Everyone, don't be too happy yet. Although this coarse grain is five copper coins per pound, Jiu Yue girl said that in order to ensure that everyone can buy food, we have to buy according to the number of people in the family."
The village chief raised his hand to stop the excited villagers and shouted loudly.
"What? Village chief, what does this mean?"
The villagers, who were just too happy, asked when they heard what the village chief said.
"What this means is, if there are only two people in your family, you can only buy a maximum of 40 kilograms. If there are ten people in your family, you can only buy a maximum of 200 kilograms of coarse grains."
After hearing this, the villagers started talking about it.
"Village Chief, Miss Lin, how can twenty kilograms of food be enough for this family?"
"That's right. We don't know what the situation is right now. Twenty kilograms of food is too little. Can we have more?"
Lin Jiuyue had long known that the villagers would react in this way. Fortunately, the village chief came over. She left the village chief here so that he could solve these problems for her.
"What's the matter? 20 kilograms is not enough? Can't you save some food? Besides, have you eaten all the food at home? There is no food left? Are you relying on this food to save your life?"
"Don't think I don't know what you guys are up to! Aren't you just thinking of buying food from Jiu Yue girl for five copper coins a pound, and then selling it for seven copper coins?"
"What? You think you're the only smart ones? Everyone else is stupid?"
As soon as the village chief spoke, those who had such thoughts lowered their heads.
Food is in short supply now, and many people can't buy it. If you buy coarse grains for five copper coins a pound, you can sell them in town for seven or even eight copper coins a pound, and they sell very well.
I can earn two or three copper coins from selling a pound of coarse grain. If I sell more, won't I become rich?
Several people in the crowd had similar thoughts, and the village chief suddenly exposed them in front of everyone. The more shy ones simply lowered their heads in embarrassment and remained silent.
But not everyone is thin-skinned.
"Haha, look at what you said, Village Chief. We are not that kind of people. If we really couldn't buy food, we wouldn't bother Miss Lin, right?"
The village chief glared at the person who spoke.
"Erniu! Put away all those little tricks of yours! You've lived in the village for so many years. To put it bluntly, you're just like that cow! The moment its tail lifts, I can guess exactly what you're pooping!"
When the villagers heard what the village chief said, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Haha, the village chief's description is really good. Otherwise, how could Erniu be called Erniu?"
"That's right, Erniu. The village chief saw through your little tricks at a glance."
Erniu was not angry even though his little thoughts were exposed by the village chief.
"Village Chief, why are you so excited? Miss Lin hasn't even spoken yet."
"Miss Lin, right?"
After Erniu finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Lin Jiuyue, hoping to get the answer he wanted from Lin Jiuyue.
Lin Jiuyue curled the corners of her mouth.
Did this guy really think he was being taken advantage of? He wanted to make money, but couldn't he do it himself? Why did he have to wait for him to take the food and make money? Didn't Erniu think he was the only one who thought of this?
"Coarse grains are sold based on the number of people. Each person can only buy a maximum of 20 kilograms. If anyone thinks 20 kilograms is too little, they don't have to buy it."
Lin Jiuyue's words were rather tactful, but everyone in the village could tell that she was not joking.
"Haha, Miss Lin, don't be angry, none of us despise you."
Twenty kilograms is twenty kilograms, it’s better than no kilogram at all!
If the Lin family hadn't brought back this little bit of food, people like us probably wouldn't be able to buy even 20 kilograms.
Even if you can buy it, the price is not five copper coins per pound.
"Since everyone has no objection, then let's line up and buy it."
After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she pointed behind Uncle Liu and motioned everyone to stand behind him.
The village chief had already weighed the grain for Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu took the grain and handed the copper coins to Lin Jiuyue without saying a word.
"Jiuyue, this is the money to buy food, keep it."
Lin Jiuyue nodded, took the copper coin and threw it directly into the wooden box that had been prepared on the side.
Uncle Liu felt touched when he saw that Lin Jiuyue didn't even count.
Jiu Yue girl trusted me, so she accepted the money without even counting the coins.
Uncle Liu left carrying the grain he had bought, and the villagers in line reported the weight of grain they wanted to buy one by one.
We were busy until the afternoon and finally all the grain we brought back was sold out.
"All the food has been sold out, everyone should go back."
Those who were queuing but didn't get to buy food were instantly furious when they heard Lin Jiuyue say that the food was sold out.
"Miss Lin, are they sold out already? We still have so many people who haven't bought yet."
"That's right. Those in the front of the line have all bought food, but those behind us haven't. Didn't you say before that to ensure that everyone in the village can buy food? Each person can only buy 20 kilograms. But now that we're here, why is there no food?"
Twenty kilograms per person may not be a lot, but it’s at least something!
"Miss Lin, do you still have any food? We haven't bought any yet."
Perhaps it was because of Lin Jiuyue's reputation in the village, and the fact that the village chief was also here.
Although the villagers who failed to buy food were unhappy, no one dared to make a big fuss.
"I just said that the food we brought back today has been sold out. I didn't say there will be no food in the future."
