Chapter 202
"Brother Zhezi, if I were to give you a mountain of gold and let you sell me, would you be willing?" Liu Yaoqing asked with a smile.
Brother Zhezi shook his head without thinking, "Even ten thousand gold mountains can't compare to one finger of Brother Qing."
"Well, you shouldn't ask Brother Zhezi." Liu Yaoqing shook his head and said, "You should ask someone like my uncle, I'm afraid I don't need a mountain of gold, a hundred taels of silver is almost enough."
People are different, people like Brother Zhezi are not moved by gold and silver, but some people are just the opposite, as long as they have silver, they can abandon everything.
But many times Liu Yaoqing feels that human nature cannot be tested, because most of the time the distinction between right and wrong is not so clear, and there are still many grays.
Even Liu Yaoqing himself once "turned a deer into a horse", but he didn't fight for fame and fortune, and there are few people who have conflicts with him, so this can be exposed.But for Old Man Liu, Liu Quanfu, Sister Cui and others, Liu Yaoqing is not a completely good person, because he has never done anything according to their requirements.
"Brother Zhezi, let's go to Zhou's house." Liu Yaoqing said, "Bring Zhou Xiangjin."
"Success." Brother Zhezi nodded.
Both of them are smart people, and they will only think about unpleasant things in their hearts, and will not say them out, so that only they are entangled in their hearts, at least the other party must be in a happy mood.
Dan County now rubs fodder every day, which requires a lot of corn. The ready-made corn in the warehouse decreases a lot every day, but there is not much added in. Only farmers who are in a hurry to spend money will send corn.
At this time the weather was past the hottest time, Liu Yaoqing was busy every day, but she didn't feel that hot.
The tender corn could be broken and eaten a long time ago, and the Li family sent a lot of them. Liu Yaoqing likes to peel and stir-fry the most. It tastes delicious and slightly sweet, which is his favorite taste.
When the wind blows and the sun shines, during the hottest days in the past few days, the corn loses a lot of water and becomes golden and firm, which is not suitable for cooking and eating. The early planted corn can be chopped off and dried for storage. .
"My family has planted a lot of corn this year, and there is still a lot in the warehouse. I plan to send all my family members to Dan County later." Brother Zhen came out of the dining hall, his hands were still wet, and his eyes were shining.
Song Shuixiang waited outside and said, "I plan to do the same."
This year he has been working in Dan County. He planted corn in the middle of the night. Now that he is going to harvest the corn, he may have to work in the middle of the night. He really has no time during the day.
There is a day of rest every month, but it is even busier at that time. Song Shuixiang has to be busy with everything at home, and he is also preparing to build a new set of furniture, which will be used when he gets married with Brother Zhen .
Brother Zhen thought for a while and said, "I have a lot of family members, so let's form a partnership at that time. Brother Xiang, you go back and prepare some meals. Let's have a meal together. This way we can work faster."
"En." Song Shuixiang nodded, happy in his heart, and made up his mind to buy more pork and give some to Brother Zhen's family.
Brother Zhen has many brothers in his family, and his parents are all there, so he basically doesn't need to work in the fields.At this moment, Brother Zhen had made an agreement with Song Shuixiang, and when he got home, he said, "Our family has a partnership with Brother Xiang's this year, and we went to break his corn at night. This year, the corn from our family and Brother Xiang's Send them all to Dan County to sell them for money, and don’t keep any of them.”
"Brother, what's the matter?" the woman asked.
"Brother Qing is short of food, especially corn, which is used a lot and the price is not low." Brother Zhen said, "Let's send all the corn at home, and people who know us will also talk about it. I I also heard from other stewards that the price of corn harvested in Dan County will be lowered in a few days."
"Really? The price of corn can't go up now, and every household has a lot of corn..."
"That's not true, so hurry up and sell it now." Brother Zhen stretched his waist and said, "Tell the brothers to work harder, ask the Master to help, and send the old corn at home first tomorrow."
There are other workers who go home like Brother Zhen, and they almost all plan to sell all the old corn.
This thing has a high yield, and it can be eaten for one year, but it is not eaten in the second year, and besides cooking porridge with ground corn, it is steamed corn rice, or ground corn to make pancakes, and these are the only ways to eat it.
Farmers do not know how to deep-fry the special corn used for popcorn. Unlike peanuts, corn can be eaten as snacks after frying, and the price has never been lowered.
It can be said that the biggest function of corn is to fill the stomach, and almost nothing else.
At this time, Liu Yaoqing wanted to collect corn, many people hesitated, on the one hand, they felt that the price was low, and they wanted corn to be transformed into more money like potatoes, and they wanted to stay at home, so as to avoid famine in the future, and there would be no surplus food in the family. I have to be hungry again.
The combination of these circumstances has led to the fact that there are not many people selling corn in Dan County, and the inventory cannot increase.
A portion of the rubbed feed has to go down every day, and the chickens are different every day, and they eat more and more. At this moment, they have tried to add as much vegetables as possible, but they have to be fed several times a day.
Su Qi was in charge of harvesting corn and potatoes, and now Zichou's hair was turning white.Although Liu Yaoqing told him not to worry, but this is his job as a manager, can he not worry?
If Liu Yaoqing didn't let him go to the village, Su Qi couldn't bear to go to the village to harvest corn.
Fortunately, Brother Zhen, Song Shuixiang and others brought all the corn from the family, and they also called many acquaintances to come.There is a lot of corn in the warehouse temporarily, enough for Tong Xi and the others to rub feed for a few days.
"Starting tomorrow, whether it is this year's new corn or last year's old corn, the price will be reduced." Liu Yaoqing looked at the ledger sent by Su Qi and said, "Resolutely lower the price again. The corn production is so high, the price should not be like this. Potatoes are not directly priced, but the price of potato chips and potato sticks is high."
"If someone is not convinced, tell him to sell corn outside." Liu Yaoqing said again.
Early the next morning, Su Qi changed the price.
However, the people working in Dan County sold corn with great fanfare. Although they didn't say anything about the price reduction and price increase of corn, many people also vaguely noticed something, followed the trend and shipped corn, but it turned out to be a step late.
If you sell corn today, compared with yesterday, you will have to take a lot less money.
They are all men who want to break a penny into two halves to spend, and they are calculating in the bottom of their hearts, and they feel distressed immediately.
Some people were also dissatisfied and said, "Didn't your Dan county be good for the people? Why did you suddenly drop the price! Can the price of corn be changed at will? Why is the price of potatoes so high?"
"Dan county collects potatoes and corn. You come here because you want to. If you don't want to, you can go outside. There are many grain shops and grain merchants outside." Su Qi said, "there is a reason for the price. If you don’t understand, just wait and see, and you will understand.”
Since Dan County was built, it's always been fine.
Whether it is those who can enter Dan County to work, or those who have exchanged potatoes for money, and Dan County will recruit workers in the future, they all look forward to being able to come in. No one thinks that there is anything bad about Dan County.
Many people even think that Liu Yaoqing is like a living Bodhisattva, filling everyone's stomachs and making everyone live a good life.
At this time, the price of corn suddenly dropped, just like stealing their money.
"Let's go!" The man with a quick temper turned his head and left.
There were still a few hesitations left, thinking in their minds that the price of corn was high yesterday, that would cost a lot of money, and they couldn't throw it away for nothing, so they turned their heads and followed.
Su Qi got angry and said: "If Brother Qing didn't take out the corn seeds, these people still can't get enough to eat, why don't they think about the life they lived in the past. The price of corn is not very high, how can they Do you feel like you’re at a disadvantage?”
"That's because they felt that they should have a golden mountain, but suddenly it turned into half a golden mountain. They felt that they had lost a lot, and they were just not reconciled." Liu Yaoqing said calmly, "But in fact, all the golden mountains are not theirs."
Those who want to understand will naturally not go to other places to try. It is useless to buy corn from outside grain merchants. The basic price will be very low, and there is no way to compare it with Dan County.
Instead of going outside to try your luck, you might as well sell the corn in Dan County. With the money, you can go back to the village to buy land or buy new clothes for your family. how.
These people complained a lot, trying in vain to ask Liu Yaoqing to raise the price back.
But Liu Yaoqing said: "They misjudged their position. I have always been in charge of the whole Dan County, not them. In half a month, when all the corn is harvested, the price will drop again!"
"En." Su Qi said firmly.
Half a month later, Liu Yaoqing left Dan County early, but the price of corn dropped again.
Those who complained a lot saw that Dan County had no intention of raising the price at all. They panicked and rushed to buy corn.There are also those who insist on holding on, and when the price of corn drops again, they will become more and more unwilling to sell, always feeling that they are at a disadvantage.
The money is in Dan County, and the corn is in their own hands. It's just a business. How can there be any losses or gains?
Compared with other people who sold corn early, it is a disadvantage, but the reason lies with themselves, not Dan County.If you understand this truth, I am afraid there will not be so many complaints.
"I heard that the price of corn in Dan County is very low. I'm afraid we won't be able to sell corn in the future."
"That can only wait for the famine year, when the price of food will naturally rise."
"I heard that Dan County is making money every day, why is it so stingy?"
"That's right, even if we give each of us a tael of silver, I'm afraid we can afford it?"
The old and young men in the village spoke slowly, thinking that Dan County did not do a good job in this matter, and that it was not worthy of the name of Dan County.
It happened that Liu Yaoqing and brother Zhezi were listening, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "If a beggar asks you to give half of the food so that he can survive the winter, will you give it?"
"A joke! How can I give it."
"If a beggar looks for me like this, I must break his leg."
"I don't dare to have a beggar say that. Even if I say it, everyone will be beaten. It's just a beggar. It's not bad to stutter. It's really a good idea to think about half of my family's food."
