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?"
