Lady of the Lord From the East

Chapter 48

There are more specialties in Sardinson than Wei Wei thought, and they are more attractive.

Before Wei Wei knew about it, a new grain store was opened in Dingle, the town closest to Fort Sardinson.

It is not surprising that there is one more store in the town, but it is a little strange that it is a grain store.

Dingle is a small town. There is a grain store in the town. The business of the grain store is not very good. The poor people farm their fields. , they will only find someone with a surplus to exchange for the cheapest beans, instead of going to the grain store. After all, the same thing sold in the store is more expensive than going to the farmer to exchange it.

Only those who do not farm, but have a fixed income, frequent the grain store, but there are not many such people in Dingle Town.

Therefore, the main source of income for this store is not to sell such insignificant grains. They mainly rely on the purchase of farmers' fields at low prices, and then transport them to other prosperous places to sell them at high prices.

The benefits in the middle are still considerable.

The owner of the shop is a relative of the mayor, and he still has a certain status in Dingle Town, so the grain shop has been open for many years, there are no other competitors in the town, so the business of the shop owner is not to say that the business is booming, but also very stable.

After all, little-seen farmers do not know that the price of the wheat they sell can be several times higher in other places.

Maybe some people know, but they have nowhere else to get a lot of beans and barley other than accepting the purchase price from the grain store.

Sell ​​it to their lord? The former Count did not do such a troublesome business. He had a large amount of grain that he could sell to the outside world, and he could get more from the serfs, these grains could already satisfy his external business—the one in the royal capital. The store originally sold food, and the business was not very good - naturally, they would not be willing to make an effort to purchase the food scattered in the hands of the free people.

It is also because of this that Kurt, the owner of the grain store, had the opportunity to pick up the leaks from the old Earl's palm, and the store has been open for nearly ten years.

But the situation is different now. The newly opened grain store will buy the grain from the free people like Kurt, and the price they give is higher than the price of Kurt. Naturally, other people are more willing to go to him to sell grain.

This made Kurt very angry. He felt that the owner of the newly opened shop didn't understand the rules very well. Could he not be able to see him clearly when he started a price war with him?

The angry boss Kurt went to his cousin, the mayor, and threatened to make the other party look good, but he came back soon after and raised the purchase price in his store to the same as the other party's, and he didn't dare to say anything else. Because that shop was opened by someone sent by the Earl! In Sardinson, who dares to go against the earl?

And that grain store, after purchasing a batch of wheat, began to recruit externally, not one or two, but how many they had. As long as they were diligent enough to work, they all needed them, and the salary was pretty good.

This time, the poorer people in the town have all signed up, and the shop has also accepted everyone, and the men have divided some of them to repair the mill and the cement space. The women divided into two batches, one went to the mill to grind flour and sieve the flour, and the other gathered together to make noodles.
