Yan Shouhou had arranged both grain stores long ago, named Four Seasons Grain Store, one in the center of the main street, the other next to the city gate.
The one in the center of the main street planned to sell more fine grains; the one near the city gate mainly sold wheat, sorghum, corn, and millet.
As soon as the grain arrived, the butler and clerks started getting busy.
On the first day of February, the Four Seasons Grain Store officially opened for business.
The new store naturally attracted many onlookers.
The butler smiled and said at the entrance of the store, "Ladies and gentlemen, the various grains sold at Four Seasons Grain Store are all priced according to Beijing’s market prices, and the prices for the seed grains are the same. We welcome everyone to come and purchase."
"Four Seasons Grain Store? There’s also a Four Seasons Grain Store in Beijing that I’ve heard sells high-yield grain varieties. Are you the same owner?"
Even in remote Xiliang, there were always some daring enough to venture out.
Clearly, the person asking had been to Beijing.
The butler nodded with a smile, "Yes, the Four Seasons Grain Store on Chang’an Street in Beijing is also owned by our Madam. You can be assured of your purchases."
"Who knows if you’re deceiving us?"
The butler wasn’t offended and continued with a smile, "The quality of these seeds, well, they can actually be distinguished with just a glance. Everyone is welcome to enter the store to see, and whether to buy or not is entirely up to you."
Hearing this, many people entered the store.
When they learned that the grain prices in the store were nearly 30 percent lower than elsewhere, people began to buy in bulk.
To prevent officials and wealthy households from hoarding, the grain store also implemented purchase limits.
On the first day that the grain store opened, Daohua naturally went to take a look. She sat in the carriage, watching the situation inside the store from across the street.
The butler and clerks were all brought over from Beijing; they all had relevant experience. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Daohua watched for more than two quarters and, seeing no disturbances, went on to the next store.
...
Dong Residence.
