Chapter 543 The War is About to End
The disadvantage is also because of this, there are more people selling vegetables, so the competition is greater.
Although the shop is quite a distance from the market, it will more or less affect the business.”
Grandpa Zhao nodded, indicating that he understood. "Everything has its pros and cons, but this is indeed the best solution for us."
Lu Chuan said, "Well, let's give it a try first! The main thing is that we have no experience in this area before. We are just crossing the river by feeling the stones and taking one step at a time."
"Hahaha, there's nothing wrong with what you said."
Xu Han was also unsure about opening this shop. According to his observation, there was no such model in either the provincial capital or the county town.
Generally, places that sell meat specialize in selling meat, and places that sell vegetables specialize in selling vegetables. So far, I have not seen any store that sells both meat and vegetables in the same store.
Ordinary people can only go to the market early to buy vegetables. Not only that, they have to go back and forth to several stalls to buy all the vegetables they want.
The Taoist priest asked again, "But if we only buy these things, will our inventory be enough? What will we sell when we run out of them?"
Xu Han waved her hand and said, "It's not a big problem. We have run out of them in the mountains. We can send people to farmers to collect them. As long as we give a fair price and sell them at a price that is not too expensive, and we guarantee the quality of the goods, the business should be good.
Who doesn’t want to buy everything at once, saving time and effort?
As for vegetables, we will reclaim more land in the spring of next year and plant more vegetables, which we will then sell in the county town.
Many of the dishes in our house are ones they have never eaten or seen before. As long as we grasp the timing, these dishes can help us make a lot of money just by virtue of their freshness. "
The Taoist priest nodded after hearing this and said, "That's true. I think the business in the shop will not be bad in the future. There will always be people who are busy and don't have time to buy vegetables!
By then, our shop will be open from morning to night, and we can buy things whenever we want, so business will definitely be good."
Xu Han smiled and said, "We are thinking the same thing."
Grandpa Zhao asked again, "What about the canned food and red wine at home? Are they also sold in this shop?"
Xu Han thought for a while and said, "This is my current plan. The production of both canned food and fruit wine is not large this year, so it is not cost-effective to open a store specifically for this purpose.
But the prices of fruit wine and canned food are high, so we can set aside a separate room to sell these two items. If the business is good, we can open a separate shop next year."
The Taoist priest asked again, "What about the other shops you bought? It's not a good idea to keep them empty all the time."
Lu Chuan took over the conversation and said, "We have thought about this. Now that the war is getting farther and farther away, the impact on us is getting smaller and smaller. We will rent out the remaining shops that we don't need for the time being, and take them back when we need them later."
Seeing that the two of them had considered everything, Grandpa Zhao nodded with satisfaction, "Well, as long as you have a plan."
Xu Han couldn't help but mutter after hearing what Lu Chuan said, "I don't know what the situation is like outside right now. Yunhua's messages have been coming back less and less frequently recently. I don't even know what his recent situation is."
The Taoist priest continued, "I think the message will be back soon. It's been almost a month since the last message."
Lu Chuan joked, "Hahaha, when he comes back, I will definitely beat him up. It's really his fault that he made Master worry."
Xu Han rolled her eyes at Lu Chuan and said coldly, "Then you have to be able to beat him."
……
It is said that people should not talk too much. The next morning, as soon as Xu Han got up, she received a carrier pigeon message from Yunhua.
Because they also have to go to the mountains to pick mountain products today, the Taoist priest and the others have already gotten up and are resting in the yard after practicing!
The Taoist priest said, "You came at the right time. Weren't you still talking about Yunhua yesterday? And today he sent a letter back."
"Hahaha, it's really amazing. Hurry up and open it to see what Yunhua said?" Xu Han urged.
The Taoist priest did not keep anyone in suspense and took advantage of the fact that everyone was there to quickly open the letter.
After taking a quick look at it and seeing that there was no crucial information, he just read it out.
After listening to Yunhua's letter, everyone smiled. "That's great. The war is finally coming to an end. At this rate, we can hopefully end the war early next year."
Grandpa Zhao smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. "This is really good news that is worth celebrating. The war is over, and people's lives will be better."
Lu Chuan hammered his hands, unable to hide his excitement. "This is a really great idea. I don't know who came up with it, but he's really talented. He's really talented to have these aristocratic families and wealthy merchants scrambling to donate money."
Xu Han also admired what Yun Hua said in the letter. The war was able to proceed so smoothly thanks to a series of policies introduced by the court to encourage wealthy families and wealthy people to actively donate money to the war.
All the donated money and food were transported to the border to provide supplies to the soldiers on the front line.
It has to be said that with the support of these funds and food, coupled with high morale, it would be difficult not to win this battle.
Xu Han said, "Those aristocratic families have accumulated wealth for decades or even hundreds of years. Each of them has a very deep financial foundation. At this moment of national survival, they must be made to bleed."
The Taoist priest drank a glass of water and continued, "It would be no good for them if their country was destroyed. When the country is gone, their so-called wealth and glory would be gone.
As a defeated country, their lives will definitely be difficult. Not only will they not be able to protect their property, but they themselves will even become prisoners.
Once the enemy invades, they will definitely attack them first and plunder their money.”
Xu Han smiled and said, "What the Taoist said is right, but it is unlikely that they will be willing to pay money just by this.
People always have a lucky mentality, so Yun Huaxin's method is still the best."
Because the letter was short, Yunhua only mentioned that the noble families were willing to pay money, but the letter did not elaborate on the specific method. One would have to wait until he met Yunhua to ask in person for the details.
Grandpa Zhao analyzed, "If the war can be successfully concluded early next year, then the current emperor will definitely reshuffle the court and officials this year. Not only that, Yun Hua also mentioned the banditry in his letter before, and it will take one or two years to suppress the bandits.
Only when these poisonous sores are thoroughly cleaned up can we ordinary people live better in the future."
Xu Han agreed, “Yes, yes, but these don’t have a big impact on us, we can do business normally, but the local county magistrate is still crucial.
After clearing these poisonous sores, they will become true parents of the country, and we will be the ones who benefit in the end.
But the changes for us in the early stage are definitely not obvious.”
