Chapter 152 Oh my God, whose money-giving boy is this?
The next thing to buy is various things such as wine, beverages and food for moving to the new house.
Xu Ning and Old Lady Xu both plan to buy more food because winter is coming soon and the price may go up.
So, the group went to the grain store first.
The Daqing Dynasty had an abundance of food, including various types of rice and wheat, as well as high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and corn.
But in the face of drought, even if you have sweet potatoes, they cannot survive without water.
"Xiaobao, when we go to buy food, do you remember which ones we should buy?"
"Remember, mainly buy flour, wheat flour, and rice." There are also corn and sweet potatoes, but the quantity is not as large as the previous ones.
"Okay, Xiaobao, go in." Xu Feng took a deep breath, acted like an adult, and walked into the door of the grain store with firm steps.
"Sir, would you like to buy some food?" When the waiter saw someone coming in, he immediately greeted him warmly.
"Yes, buy food!" Xu Feng raised his head slightly. Because he was short, he was not even up to the waiter's chest when he stood in front of him.
"Hey, sir, would you like to buy rice or corn?" The waiter did not ignore Xu Feng just because he was young. He glanced at Xu Ning and others who came in behind Xu Feng, and knew that Xu Feng's response meant that he had the final say.
"I want to buy rice, flour, and wheat flour. Do you have all of these?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" When the waiter heard that Xu Feng bought expensive food, his smile brightened a little and he immediately invited Xu Feng into the store.
There were many large wooden barrels in the store, filled with grain. Light wooden signs were inserted on the grains, with the names and prices of various grains written on them.
Xu Feng looked at the rice first and found that the price of rice was 18 wen per catty. He remembered that the last time he came to buy it, it was 15 wen. "Boss, have you increased the price of rice?"
"Hey, young master, I'm not the boss, you can just call me waiter. Young master, the price of rice increased a few days ago, not today. If you don't believe me, you can go to the nearby stores and ask, everyone has increased the price at the same time." The waiter was afraid that Xu Feng would think he was bullying him because of his young age, so he hurried to explain.
"But didn't we harvest the grain recently? Why did the grain price go up?" There are still some people in Xianyu Village who planted some land. Xu Feng heard from those people in Xianyu Village who helped that they have been harvesting the grain in the past few days.
"Let the young master know that the severe drought in the north has affected not only the north, but also the south. This year's production has been estimated, and the production will be reduced by at least 10%. Therefore, after the first batch of grain was harvested, the grain merchants raised the grain price by 10%."
"That's not right. One cent is not one and a half cents. It should be sixteen and a half cents. Why is it eighteen cents?" Xu Ning had taught Xu Feng mental arithmetic, so Xu Feng figured it out quickly.
The waiter was a little surprised, but he quickly explained: "Young Master, your calculations are really good, but you don't know that the 10% increase in the price of grain is the price of old rice, and the price of new rice has increased by 20%."
After hearing this, Xu Feng took some rice and brought it to his nose. He soon smelled the fresh aroma of rice.
So, the waiter did not lie to him, this rice was new rice.
"What about the old rice? Is it sixteen and a half cents?"
"Yes, if you buy a lot, I can deduct the half cent from you." Xu Feng looked at Xu Ning. Xu Ning didn't say anything and gave him a look that told him to do it.
When the waiter saw Xu Feng and Xu Ning looking at each other, he knew that the deal was going to be successful.
But this kid Xu Feng asked for fifteen cents the next time he opened his mouth.
"Young Master, this price..." I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Before he could finish the rest of the sentence, Xu Feng said first, "At least 100 stones."
Here one shi is 100 jin, and 100 shi is jin.
When the waiter heard this, he immediately took a breath.
Oh my god, whose family is this boy who gives away money?
