Chapter 507 Selling Grain
Looking at the shocked look of the second brother, Bai Yunxi smiled.
"Yes, it's all a coincidence. We just happened to meet each other, and I thought that having more land would always be a guarantee."
As soon as Bai Yunxi finished speaking, Xiao Si couldn't help laughing.
"Every time mother goes out, she always meets some strange people and things. However, what mother said is right. No matter who the other party is, as long as the transaction is normal and the silver and goods are paid, the rest has nothing to do with us."
Even Xiao Wu agreed.
"Although the people in the town are richer than our country, it is still difficult to ask them to take out dozens of strings of money at once. If the Qin family can redeem it, they will naturally not wait until the last day."
She understood what Xiao Wu meant, but whether the Qin family can redeem it or not, it will not delay their selling of grain tomorrow.
"While the grain price has not fallen, we should sell the excess grain on hand. Even if we don't buy the Qin family's small farm, there will be other families selling their land. If you have money in your hands, the opportunity will not slip away."
Several people agreed with this. Anyway, the grain harvested in autumn is piled up in the granary. Their family has a lot of land and can harvest a lot of grain every year. If they can't eat it all, they must sell it.
After discussing, Bai Yunxi asked everyone to rest early. She took the key to open the granary and moved all the grain that needed to be sold out of the storage cabinet.
Looking at the pile of grain, Bai Xi curved the corners of her mouth, turned around to lock the door again, put away the key and went back to sleep.
The next morning, the family had just finished breakfast when the door was knocked.
Xiao Si ran over to open the door, looked at the shopkeeper Wang standing at the door, and led him in with a smile.
"I heard from my mother yesterday that you were coming to collect grain, and we were waiting early in the morning."
Looking at the big yard in front of him, Shopkeeper Wang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, worthy of being a family of juren. Look at the courtyard, not to mention that it is rare in the countryside, it is rare even in the town.
"We agreed yesterday, so of course I have to come early. So as not to delay your work in the fields."
As he spoke, Bai Yunxi also came out. "Manager Wang, please sit down and have a cup of tea. I'm sorry to have you come so early in the morning."
As he said that, Bai Yunxi picked up a white porcelain teapot and poured him a bowl of tea.
"There is only coarse tea in the countryside, Manager Wang, please don't despise it."
The tea at this time was not expensive, and you could buy a pound for sixty or seventy coins, but it was all coarse tea. Even so, ordinary people would buy a bag of tea except for marriage, and no one would be willing to buy tea at other times.
She didn't drink these teas at ordinary times, because she thought they were too bitter and astringent, and she couldn't get used to it, so she used them to entertain guests.
Manager Wang was not polite, he took two sips of tea and smiled happily.
"No problem, no problem. We usually drink this tea. In fact, there is no difference between the countryside and the town."
While talking, the clerk brought by Wang had already brought in the scales.
Bai Yunxi took out the key, opened the granary, and asked his second son to help move all the grain to the yard, and then weighed them one by one.
Bai Yunxi sat with Wang in the Lang family to drink tea, talk, and watch everyone busy.
From morning to noon, after witnessing from both sides, all the grain was finally counted.
Seven hundred buckets of sorghum rice, calculated at a price of one hundred coins per bucket, earned seventy strings of money.
Three hundred buckets of rice, two hundred coins per bucket, earned sixty strings of money. A total of one hundred and thirty strings of money were collected, and Bai Yunxi was still very satisfied.
