Chapter 504: Selling Grain to Raise Money

The red deed is processed at the government office, kept on file, and stamped with the government office's big red seal. Whoever's name is on the deed belongs to him.

When dealing with people like Mother Hua, you must get a red contract to feel at ease.

Thinking of this, Baiyunxi didn't make any ink marks, and looked at the two of them and agreed directly.

"Since both of us are interested, let's meet at the Song Family Yaxing tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

When Hua's mother heard this, she immediately threw up the veil with a beaming smile. "Young lady is so refreshing, it's settled, see you the day after tomorrow."

The two parties agreed on a time, and Hua Mama and Song Yalang didn't waste any time and went back directly in the ox cart.

Bai Yunxi watched the two of them walking further and further away, then turned to look at the busy farmland, thinking about the family fortune in his hands.

After a series of expenses such as building a house, the bits and pieces added up to more than sixty dollars.

Now she still has one hundred and thirty guan left in her hand. If she buys this village, it will not be enough.

Fortunately, the grain harvested in last autumn is still stored in the storage cabinet. If it is sold successfully, it will be more than enough to buy a small farm.

Thinking of this, Baiyunxi turned to look at Wenyou. It seems that we have to go to the town to inquire about the price of food.

Wenyou naturally had no objection, and the two returned to the town and ran directly to Xu Ji's grain store.

As soon as Bai Yunxi arrived at the gate of Liangpu, shopkeeper Wang greeted her, "Sister-in-law Bai, I haven't seen you for a while.

Seeing Shopkeeper Wang, Bai Yunxi also greeted politely.

"It's freezing cold. I really haven't gone to town these days. The weather is warm today, so I came here to inquire about the price of food."

Shopkeeper Wang's eyes lit up when he heard Bai Yunxi's inquiry.

"Sister-in-law, if you want to sell grain, you have to do it early. Although the price of grain has dropped a little, it is still very high compared to before."

Listening to Shopkeeper Wang's tone, Bai Yunxi's heart moved. The price of food had dropped, which meant that the war in the northwest was about to end.

"I would like to ask about the price of rice and sorghum?"

"To be honest, the price of rice has dropped by 50 cents compared to a while ago. It is currently 200 cents per dou. The price of sorghum and brown rice is the same, both 100 cents per dou."

Listening to Shopkeeper Wang's quotation, Bai Yunxi felt no regrets. During the war, food prices fluctuated, but she had already made a fortune and was content.

But the current price is still many times higher than the price in peacetime.

Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi looked at Shopkeeper Wang. "I still have some sorghum and rice at home, which were harvested last autumn. I want to sell some of them. I wonder if shopkeeper Wang can send someone to pick them up from home?"

Shopkeeper Wang listened, thinking about the amount of grain she sold last time, and agreed without thinking.

"What's wrong with this? We are the ones who collect food. We have enough manpower. It is our duty to transport food."

Hearing that Shopkeeper Wang was so happy, Bai Yunxi politely thanked him.

"That's it. I'll be waiting for Shopkeeper Wang at home tomorrow morning. It's just the scales that Shopkeeper Wang needs to provide himself."

"Sister-in-law Bai, don't worry about this. We'll be there on time tomorrow morning."

The two agreed on a time, and Bai Yunxi took Wenyou out of the town again. A bullock cart happened to pass by, and he sat at the entrance of the village with four cents.

The two of them arrived home in the afterglow of dusk. Seeing the two of them coming back, Mrs. Du hurriedly came over to welcome them.

"Mom, why are you so late today? I was just thinking of going to the entrance of the village to greet you."

Seeing Du's worried eyes, Bai Yunxi waved his hand.

"Don't worry, something happened on the way and I was delayed. Besides, Wenyou is following you, what are you worried about?"
