North and South Grocery has been cooperating with farmers in the suburbs for several years.
They first planted peppers, and later they planted cold melons, as well as some other vegetables and fruits.
However, so far, peppers and cold melons are still the most popular.
For some farmers in the suburbs, cooperation with North and South Grocery is a very good choice.
At the beginning of their cooperation, they will set a minimum purchase price for that year's crop, and then at harvest time, they will make specific pricing based on the market conditions at that time and the quality of the crops grown by these growers. , this price will usually be higher than the lowest purchase price set earlier.
If it is really bad, it will be purchased at the lowest purchase price.
During the cooperative planting period, North and South Grocery will hire some experienced farmers to go to the cooperative fields to check the growth of the crops.
If they see something that is not growing well, they will give some advice.
There are also their stewards, each of whom carries a small book with him.
They will write down good and bad things for you.
When this cooperation is over, they will also give you a score, those scores.
If it is particularly low, you may lose your cooperation qualifications in the coming year.
Many growers don't like the management method of being graded every year, especially if they get low scores in a certain year.
But there are many benefits to cooperating with North and South Grocery.
First of all, they are very trustworthy.
When the crops grown in cooperation mature, no matter how low the market price is at that time, they will strictly follow the minimum purchase price set before and never break their promise.
And they also gave these growers another guarantee.
That is to say, as long as the cooperative planting area reaches a minimum standard that year, if these growers encounter any natural disaster this year and the grain in the rice fields fails to be harvested, groceries from the north and south will be lost.
The government will help them pay the rent for that year, freeing them from the tax pressure for this year.
This guarantee is like a reassurance, which is very attractive to farmers.
Now we cooperate with Nanbei Grocery Co., Ltd. to grow peppers.
It is very different from the time when Luo Sanlang personally went to the suburbs of the city to find people to cooperate with in planting peppers.
Most of the farmers who cooperated with Luo Sanlang to grow peppers later made a small fortune.
Nowadays, such good things have long ceased.
Most of the time, the income is pretty good.
On good days, they can earn two or three more than growing grain.
Times, that is the best, but there are also bad times, when you work hard for several months, but in the end you get very little.
For example, they have been growing cold melons in the past few years.
Some people are brave and careful and are better at growing melons.
The cold melons they grow mature earlier than other people's cold melons and can be on the market in early summer.
At that time, the price of cold melons on the market was very expensive, and the purchasing prices for groceries from the north and south were also high, so I made more money.
Most of the melon farmers are still relatively decent.
At this time of year, when cold melons are on the market on a large scale, the watermelons in their fields are also ripe.
At this time, you can't make a lot of money.
For example, for those larger and better watermelons, the purchase price offered by North and South groceries is only two or three cents.
Generally, one acre of land can harvest a hundred good melons, which is considered relatively good, and only a few can be harvested.
There are dozens of melons, and the purchase price for the remaining melons that are not as good as melons will be lower.
For this year, most melon farmers in the suburbs can only earn more than 300 cash per acre of land, and the better ones can earn more than 400 yuan.
If this acre of land is used to grow millet, it will produce two quintals of grain.
According to the current price of grain in Chang'an City, one quintal of millet will cost about sixty or seventy cents, and two quintals of corn will cost less than one hundred and fifty cents.
Therefore, by cooperating with North and South Grocery to grow melons, most farmers still earn more than growing food themselves.
Most growers are quite satisfied with this kind of income.
However, many farmers cannot understand that the cold melons collected from them for two to three cents for groceries in the north and south are transported truck by truck to the city, and the labor cost alone is quite high.
When it is transported to the city and sold in the shop, many customers buy it now and cut it.
If the white flesh is cut out, they will definitely not want it, and they will have to get another one.

This is how they sell it.
If you sell it for four cents, you can still make money.
On this day, several ladies who played well with Si Niang also asked her such a question.
"You have to earn it, how can you not earn it?"
Siniang was leaning on the railing and blowing the cool breeze with a contented look on her face.
The location of this store is clever.
Even on a hot summer day, if you sit in the pavilion of his house, you can still feel the cool breeze blowing on your face.
It is very refreshing, but the price is more expensive.
On such a hot day, you should gather a few friends and hide in a cool place like this to eat ice to escape the heat.
Thinking about Wulang and the others, at this time, they probably have to memorize and attend classes with the children of the Bai family.
Tsk tsk, it's really miserable.
"I'm afraid I won't earn much."
Although these little ladies don't know how to do business, they also know a little arithmetic.
A melon collected for two or three cents can be sold for four cents.
There are still many losses in the process.
If you don't lose money, it's not bad.
How can you make more money?
"If you can earn half a penny from a melon, it's still a good deal."
Siniang said: "Those melon farmers have been busy for only half a year, and one acre of land only costs three hundred yuan.
With this kind of money, I only need to resell six to seven hundred melons to make money.
The grocery business in the north and south is so good, but it's not It just takes a moment.”
"What's the use of earning these three hundred coins?"
the young ladies sneered.
"Then what can I do?"
Siniang said helplessly: "There are many people selling cold melons in the market now.
If I want to sell my own cold melons well, I will naturally set a lower price.
If the price is high, the melons will not be sold."
It can’t be sold.”
"Why not set the purchase price lower."
A young lady suggested.
"How can this be done?
I can't ruin the signboard that my brother has carefully managed."
Siniang said, "These farmers must be able to earn so much money before there are so many people who are good at farming."
Only when the farmers are willing to cooperate with my family can I have a choice.
They are given scores and have to arrange for people to go and inspect, so they can tolerate it.
If it weren't for more income, you think all those farmers can have it.
Such a good natured person” That's how business is done.
When the market is bad, it's good if you don't lose money.
If you can ship goods, ship them as soon as possible.
If you are too greedy, you may end up in trouble.
After all, these little ladies still don’t know how to do business.
If we talk about the secrets in Chang’an City and the gossip between various families, then they know much more than Luo Siniang.
When it comes to poems, lyrics and songs about female workers, Siniang also knows more than Luo Siniang.
However, when it comes to doing business, Si Niang is much smoother than them.
These cold melons at the moment can be sold by Siniang for four cents each, smaller ones for three cents, and even smaller ones for one or two cents.

They also cut the biggest and best cold melons in half, and put them on the shelf.
Each one was fragrant, red and tender.
You can buy half of it for two cents, and you can choose from it.
Optional.
Therefore, even if the prices are similar, many people would rather walk a few more steps to buy melons for groceries in the north and south.
Regardless of the weather in summer, the business in their North and South grocery stores has never been deserted.
When the people of Chang'an mention cold melons, the first thing they think of is North and South groceries.
Even the princes, nobles and nobles come to buy their North and South groceries.
It doesn't matter if I don't make much money right now.
When the weather gets cooler, the time to make money will come.
Their North and South Grocery Store also has a super large ice warehouse.
The ice cubes have been selling well recently.
After the ice cubes were sold, Si Niang asked people to put cold melons in the space vacated after the ice cubes were sold.
They had already experimented with the method of preserving cold melons in the icehouse in the past two years and gained a lot of experience.
This year, the price of cold melons just happened to be low, so they picked the best quality cold melons every day.
The melons are stored in icehouses.
Later, when other people's cold melons are out of season, they will take them out and sell them slowly.
These are the best quality cold melons that are being stored.
Most of the ones currently sold in groceries in the north and south are of good quality.
There are also those of poorer quality, or those with white flesh, that are sold at a low price to Ajie’s Food Shop. side.
Sister's Food Shop has developed a variety of fruity syrup drinks in recent years, including cold melon drink, which is made by squeezing the cold melon juice, mixing some sugarcane syrup, and adding some crushed ice to it.
It is very refreshing and refreshing.
Summer, one penny a cup, no one knows how many are sold every day.
The ladies from big families felt that Siniang's income from the cold melon business this year was small, but in Luo Siniang's own opinion, it was still pretty good.
In business, there are always profits and losses.
From her point of view, when you can make money, you should cherish it, and don't be too little if you have two pennies.
In the past, when she was looking at the grocery store in her yard in Xipo Village, she would argue with the village children for a long time over a piece of jujube cake.
Now that the store is so big, her daily expenses are much higher than before.
So you have to be more careful with your budget.
She now clearly knows every income and expenditure in this shop, and the accounting is more detailed than before when Luo Yong was the head of the house.
Fortunately, she is meticulous, but she does not skimp.
Whether it is payment for goods or wages due every month, she will not miss a penny, nor will she delay.
On this morning, Siniang was looking at the account books of the North and South Grocery Store.
The young ladies came again and asked her to go out to eat ice cream together, but Siniang refused to go.
"That place is too expensive.
You can't afford to go there.
Go by yourself."
That kind of high-consumption place always feels a bit too luxurious for people like Siniang who come from a peasant family.
"Don't be so picky, and I don't want you to pay."
Among these young ladies, there are indeed a few who are not short of money.
"Then I don't feel like it, so I won't go."
If she went a lot, it would be her turn to pay the bill.
She didn't really have any money, so how could she be so shameless and wait for others to pay all day long.
"You're the only one who has a lot to do."
Luo Siniang didn't want to go, and they didn't want to go either.

I had nothing to do, so I simply sat down in the small office hall on the second floor of the North and South Grocery Store, intending to pass the time here.
That's what they are like.
If they don't want to study and learn to be female workers, they just hang out in a group, gossip, eat desserts, etc., and there is nothing else to do.
If you are married, your husband will teach your children to embroider and sew clothes every day.
If you really can't stay at home, you will go out to eat, drink and have fun.
If you feel that is not enough, then find a concubine.
This will basically be the rest of your life.
Passed.
So they all envied Si Niang to have such a shop.
At this time, even if they were bored sitting in Nanbei Grocery and watching her reconciliation, they felt it was better than staying at home.
Siniang was already familiar with them, so she let them go.
She just asked someone to bring half a watermelon and some ice cubes from downstairs to serve them.
After Si Niang finished reading the account book in her hand, she looked up and saw that the people in front of her were really busy.
So she thought about it and asked them: "I want to go to the warehouse, do you want to go?"
"What are you going to the warehouse for?"
A young lady raised her head.
"I just went to randomly check whether the goods in the warehouse were correct."
Siniang explained.
The young ladies thought for a while and said, "Let's go then."
A few hours later, the sun set.
"Creak" The door of a certain house was opened, and a young lady of thirteen or fourteen strolled in.
Two maids came up to say hello, but she signaled her to be silent.
She just walked quietly towards her.
Walk into the room.
Looking at the posture from the back, he is also well-mannered, and it seems that he has received good etiquette training.
However, there is a lot of dust on his clothes and hair.
Combined with this dignified posture, it looks a bit funny.
"Tsk, look at this guy covered in mud, I don't know if he has eaten yet."
In a nearby room, a woman was standing at the crack of the door, stretching her neck and peeking out.
"Didn't all my entourage tell you just now that we all had our meals at North and South Grocery at noon and evening?"
An old woman was lying on a wooden couch in the room, and the maid beside her gently shook her head.
Wearing a cattail leaf fan.
"My son has been pampered since he was a child.
What can he eat in that place?"
the woman sighed.
"I've eaten a lot today."
A maid standing next to her said with a smile.
"Don't worry about it.
Your husband has already said that she should go."
There was a hint of smile in the old woman's voice.
"Those men are fighting with each other all day long.
If my daughter comes in handy, it's too late to be happy.
Why bother with so many things."
The woman by the door sighed and walked into the house.
"Don't say that, it's not a bad thing to make more friends."

The old woman said: "In my opinion, Luo Siniang is also a good person.
It would be good to ask your daughter to stay with her and gain experience. " "What kind of knowledge can I gain?"
The woman sat on the edge of the wooden couch and straightened her skirt.
The old woman stretched out her hand and patted her back gently twice, and said: "Why don't you think about it, Luo Sanlang has been away from Chang'an for many years, but his family's north-south groceries have been prospering, and the Luo family's four sisters have been prospering.
Not only can he wield a knife, but he should be smart, and many people are thinking about the situation her brother is currently facing in the court."
"I didn't say not to ask her to go."
"The world today looks a bit different from that of our time."
“What’s the difference?”
"Just watch it" "" :gd1806102:
