Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 147 147 Cooperation?

When Yuandang got the news that Mu Yu had come to town, the grains from the Taoyuan Grain Shop had already been placed in front of him.

He knew that these grains were better than the "good grains" they sold, but he didn't have a real understanding of this "goodness" before seeing the real thing, and he was even thinking about how good it could be?

Originally, the so-called "good food" they sold was just slightly better on the market in normal years, but it was praised as "good food" in disaster years. There are many, but they will not be circulated to such poor and remote towns.

What's more, in a small mountain village in a poor and remote area, if you are lucky enough to have a few acres of good land to grow food, it is considered a lucky thing. How much better food do you want to grow?

When he opened the grain bag quite casually, he was stunned when he smelled the unique aroma of grain and saw the millet with good color and shape.

How is this possible?

After all, he was a grain merchant for many years, so he immediately got serious and inspected the bag of grain carefully, it was undoubtedly good grain.

These grains are not the best grains he has ever seen, but they are undoubtedly of good quality, even very unique, and are different from the millet he has seen before. They were taken from his hometown Jinzhou County, in Nandu There is also a small market nearby!
Nandu was the new capital of the Southern Qi Dynasty. In less than three years, a prosperous capital sprang up and became the most prosperous existence after the former Kyoto.

Yuan Dang unconsciously rubbed the millet in his hand, thinking about something.

Seeing him like this, his subordinates asked, "Master, how is the food? Should we do something?"

Yuan Dang threw the food in his hand back into the bag and said,

"The food is really good food! I never thought that such a small remote place could have such good food!
It's a pity, it's just tasteless, it's a pity to discard it if it's tasteless to eat. "

The subordinates looked at Yuan Dang puzzledly.

Yuan Dang stood up and said,
"These grains are good, but they are limited. They can be sold in Jinzhou, the southern capital, and they can be sold, but the price will not be too high.

And now that the disaster year has not yet passed, the cost of buying food here is too high, and the cost of transporting it back and forth is also very high. Although we can sell it back, we don't make much money. "

"Then wait until the disaster year is over, and then sell it next year. It should be fine then."

Yuan Dang shook his head, "You think too simply, you have been with me for so many years, and you haven't made any progress at all.

After the disaster year, the cost of buying food has indeed decreased, but the price of food in Nandu will also drop accordingly, and the part we can earn is still not enough.

Moreover, transportation costs are not all caused by bad years, but also military disasters and man-made disasters, the latter is uncertain.

However, in business, for the sake of profit, you still have to take risks.

I think there are business opportunities here, and it’s okay to make a little less money for the time being, and the big ones will be in the future.

Let's go, the Taoyuan Grain Shop is open today, we have to go and express it, and just pay a visit by the way. "

……

Mu Yu met Yuan Dang in the back hall of the grain shop.

In her eyes, Yuandang is a middle-aged wealthy businessman in his 30s, dressed in silk clothes, with good features and a majestic face, neither fat nor thin.

When she was looking at Yuandang, Yuandang was also looking at her secretly, and finally nodded without a trace, looking very satisfied.

"I came here this time to discuss cooperation with Miss Mu."

"Cooperation? How can we cooperate?"

Mu Yu was puzzled on the surface, but she became vigilant in her heart. The gap between the two sides was so big that she really couldn't think of any good cooperation.

The other party is a big businessman who monopolizes the grain business in many counties and prefectures. Would he like her small business of several hundred catties?

As for the quality of the grain, that is impossible. When she decided to conduct the grain business in Yuanshan Town in a serious manner, she had already considered whether the grain grown in the village was good, but it was still reasonable. Within the range, even in a small town, there are similar or even better ones, not too early.

She can understand that the grain merchants in the town feel that they want to cooperate with this grain, but she doesn't understand if it's the Yuan family's caravan.

"Mu Girl's food is of very good quality. Compared with this food, the good food we brought is nothing at all."

Mu Yupi smiled, "Master Yuan is too modest."

Yuan Dang didn't feel embarrassed at all, and continued,
"Ms. Mu is too modest, even if these grains are taken to Yuan's hometown, they are also very popular.

So I thought, come and talk to Ms. Mu about buying more grain and bringing it home to sell. "

It has to be said that Mu Yu was moved.

Last autumn, Taoyuan Village collected nearly 3 mu of land, and a total of tens of thousands of catties of grain were harvested. Excluding what was distributed to the villagers, what was consumed in a year, and what was brought out for sale on several trips, there were still more than [-] catties left.

The more than 3 catties of grain are piled up in the granary in the village, not to mention troublesome to manage, and it still takes up a lot of space, especially the grain planted in the spring this month has matured, and this time there will be more than last time. Dispose of the previous ones, where to put the new ones?

Of course, before the disaster year has passed, it is better to find a way to get rid of these as soon as possible. She opened the Taoyuan Grain Store with this kind of thought in mind.

She has settled all accounts.

Assuming that one hundred catties of grain can be sold a day, it will be three thousand catties a month, and thirty-six thousand catties a year. It is no problem to dispose of last year's grain.

The people in the town must eat food, and the consumption is very conservative.

As for the fact that some people have no money to buy food, she has also thought about it. They can exchange things such as goods and land for food, or they can work for food.

She promised that the old town would not pull people away from the town after this, but the land she just bought in the town also needs people to plant, of course it is more convenient to find people in the local area.

In this way, the townspeople help her plant the land, she gives them food, she can harvest food and money, and the townspeople can survive the disaster year, and everyone is happy.

This is a long-term task. Although there are many benefits in the specific environment of the disaster year, she still feels that it is not enough.

As for Yuandang's proposal, although it is quite nonsensical, if it can be done well, it will be very fast.

And there is no conflict between the two. One is long-term stability and the other is short-term risk. They can go hand in hand.

She intends to listen to what Yuan Dang has to say.

Seeing her willingness to understand, Yuan Dang was very satisfied.

In his view, real cooperation is not about one party luring the other to participate, but that the two parties voluntarily come together for common interests, and this cooperation is stable.

"How much good food of this quality is there, Miss Mu?"

"How much do you want?"

Yuan Dang chuckled, he had seen a lot of powerful ladies, and it was rare for a young girl to have such an aura.

"This time, I want to buy a thousand catties and take it back to see the market. If the market is good, I will take as much as Mu girl has in the future."

"No problem, you will receive the food in half a month."

"As for the price, I want to use the discounted price of the grain we brought this time to offset the debt. It just so happens that Miss Mu's grain shop is short of grain, isn't it?"

"Okay, but we don't want mold."

"It's easy to talk about, it's a pleasant cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."
