In the beginning, there were people who feared that the Harvest Grain Store would not last long, so they always came to line up before the city gate opened before dawn. However, half a month later, they saw that the Harvest Grain Store still opened at the same time each day, selling at the same price and the same quantity. There were now fewer people who were anxious to snap the grains up. This way, more people from far away managed to buy these cheap coarse grains.
The business of the other grain stores in Lin'an City plummeted. Other than those who did not lack money and were unwilling to spend time queuing, most people were willing to queue for a day or two to buy from the Harvest Grain Store.
