Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

Chapter 296 Price Increase or No Price Increase

The price of brown rice was twice as expensive as before the rain, but after the rain, the price of brown rice has risen to fifty cents per dou. By comparison, it is at least more than half cheaper.

Jiang Shoujia was familiar with human nature, so he did not offer a price that was too low.

If you are willing to lend, then lend.

If she doesn't want to, he won't force her. This is all he can do.

"Lend it to me, I will lend it to you, Chief. Thank you very much. I know the price. You have already given me a very low price. I will definitely pay it back next autumn."

Fortunately, those who stayed had already been screened.

The mind is clear.

I also know how much advantage they have taken.

Everyone crowded together to draw their signatures.

The amount of brown rice collected from home was not enough to borrow, but fortunately I had stockpiled a house full of food.

So I gave it to some people first, and the others who didn’t get it will be brought to them when I return from town today or tomorrow.

At this moment, Jiang Fubao was already sitting on the ox cart and was halfway there.

On the left is my second aunt’s hometown village.

Sunjia Village.

As he passed by, Jiang Fubao stretched his head and took a look.

Sunjia Village is not located in high terrain, and the water in the fields has not yet been completely drained. Even on the road leading to the village, some small puddles can be vaguely seen.

If you listen carefully, you can hear people in the village making noises and crying.

Coincidentally, two familiar figures were walking towards the village entrance.

Take a closer look.

Aren’t these Jiang Zhuzi and his wife?

"Second uncle, do you know Sun Xiaotao?" Second uncle and second aunt came back from town together last night.

Of course, we have to go to town together in the morning.

Jiang Fubao sat in her arms.

He raised his head and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, I know her parents very well. Everyone in the village knows them. They are lazy and gluttonous. They look just like my parents."

When gossiping, Sun Pingmei did not forget to insult her own parents.

Jiang Fubao's mouth twitched.

How much her second aunt-in-law must hate her natal family. She would criticize them every time they were mentioned.

Never fail every time.

"Before I got married, Sun Xiaotao was only a few years old. She was white and tender when she was born, and was indeed pretty compared to other little country kids. Her parents had a bad idea and wanted to raise her and marry her off to a wealthy family, so this girl was raised like a lady from a wealthy family when she was little.

"It's a pity that the rich have seen more of the world than us, so they would never marry a country girl. Sun Xiaotao is pretty in the village, but she's nothing in the town. In the end, she couldn't even be a concubine, so they had to accept a high bride price and sell her off."

Sun Pingmei looked at the backs of the two and sneered.

"This girl is also stupid. Now that she is married, she should just live a good life in her husband's family. Although Jiang Zhuzi is a scoundrel, I can tell from the looks of the two of them just now that Sun Xiaotao has him under control. Why would she worry about having a hard time? Jiang Zhuzi is going back to her parents' home at this time, and there is a bamboo basket on his back. I'm afraid he is sending food back.

Widow Liu knelt for a long time yesterday and cried like that. She looked at her own family and had no food left, but she still gave it to others. She was really out of her mind. Jiang Zhuzi was also stupid. He married a woman for her beauty and emptied the family fortune. He didn't even look at what happened to his mother who raised him. Even if Widow Liu had a thousand faults, she was very good to him. "

Time passed amid Sun Pingmei's cursing.

When I looked up again, I had arrived at the city gate.

Passing by many shops, Jiang Fubao found that the outside of the grain shops were full of people. All of them looked sad, as if they could not survive if they could not buy food.

"Since the price of brown rice has increased, the prices of other foods have also increased. Only the people in the town have enough money to eat, but by the time those living in the villages outside the city realize they need to buy food, the people in the town have probably already bought up all the food."

Jiang Eryong suddenly blurted out something.

Then he went on to say, "Mom, it's time for our shop to raise prices."

"No hurry. We have stockpiled food in our shop, and now we can attract some new customers. We will sell mung bean soup, sweet soup, and cold noodles at the original price. The rest should be increased. Before the shop opens, I will go to the front to explain to the customers. Don't worry about this matter."

This idea was not Zhang Jinlan's, but something she discussed with Jiang Shoujia before going to bed last night.

Ever since potatoes were used to sprout.

The shop no longer sells potatoes.

The rest is grilling, which requires ingredients that need to be purchased every day.

If we don’t raise the price, we will lose everything.

Jiang Fubao heard everything grandma said.

Sometimes she really wondered why her grandfather was so smart but was willing to stay in the village and farm.

If she goes out and tries her luck, even if she doesn't become rich, at least her family will be much better off than before she came here.

"But if we don't raise the price, everyone will come to buy a lot, and we won't be able to handle it."

Jiang Eryong couldn't figure it out, and he said anxiously.

"Your father said that each person is only allowed to buy one portion, just like the grilled sausage and potatoes. You can't buy more. This way, while we attract customers, we won't lose much. We just sell that amount every day, and we'll close the shop after we sell it all."

Zhang Jinlan explained.

"Okay, this is a good idea, let's do it." Jiang Eryong finally felt relieved.

Jiang Dahe, who was driving in the front, didn't say a word.

He has always been a man of few words. He just follows whatever his family tells him to do without asking any further questions.

The bullock cart was parked behind the shop.

The whole family walked down.

Start a busy new day.

When the preparations are done.

Zhang Jinlan washed her hands, took off her apron, dipped some water, smoothed out the loose hair on her head, then patted her clothes and went to the front of the shop.

As soon as the shop door opened, the customers queuing outside rushed in, and Jiang Da and his brothers hurriedly stopped them.

"Everyone, please wait. Let me say something. The price of food in the city has risen sharply recently. All the restaurants, food shops and even the food stalls have increased their prices. Our shop should also increase its prices, otherwise we can't afford the losses. However, we are doing business with conscience, and I am familiar with the customers who often come to eat here.

I am sorry to make more money from you. To be honest, my family has stockpiled some food. It is not much, but it is enough to sell for about a month. From now on, cold noodles, green bean soup and sweet soup will all be sold at the original price until all the food we have stockpiled is sold out. As for the rest, please forgive me. I really can’t afford it if I don’t raise the price…”

These are words from the heart.

The customers queuing outside were deeply moved.

It even made passers-by who originally had no intention of visiting Jiang's snack shop stop in their tracks.

"Manager Zhang, you are so righteous! From now on, I, Chen, will only come to Jiang's Snack Shop whenever I go out for a bite to eat—"

"Me too--"

"He didn't raise the price. My God, he is indeed a shopkeeper who came from a farming family. He is nothing like those unscrupulous businessmen. Shopkeeper Zhang cares about the people."
