"Ben Shao naturally understands that there is indeed some burden for one of you to bear these twenty burdens." After Fang Xu saw that the time was about the same, he looked at the two rice shop bosses in front of him with a smile and said.

After hearing Fang Xu's words, the two rice shop owners cast curious looks.

It seems to be curious what Fang Xu is going to say now?! Or what exactly is Fang Xu planning to do now?!

"It's not a secret, if you take out twenty loads of food and give Fang Shao, even our two families will not be brave enough to take such a risk." In the eyes of these two rice shop owners, this is also something that cannot be helped.

Although Fang Xu's previous was indeed to smash the Drunken Immortal Residence in front of everyone, and even let him go.

This also shows that Fang Xu is actually not worried about money at all, but these two rice shop owners are also worried about accidents.

After all, food is different from others, and after a long time, the loss will become bigger and bigger.

So now, if Fang Xu can't give these two rice shop owners a little confidence, maybe this business can't be negotiated.

"Ben Shao naturally understands this, so Ben Shao hopes that you will each provide Ben Shao with ten loads, which should be able to bear it, right?" Fang Xu asked with a smile.

After hearing Fang Xu's words, the owners of the two rice shops quickly calculated the small abacus in their hearts.

If it is ten quintals, then the risk borne by these two rice shops is relatively small.

Even in the eyes of the owners of these two rice shops, even if it is ten quintals, then they can guarantee the problem of word of mouth.

But now it's a little bit involved, and that's the so-called cost.

Since the two rice shops share the 20 quintals of rations, the price is negotiated by the two rice shops themselves.

Fang Xu actually didn't have much opinion on this, after all, in Fang Xu's opinion.

This should be the case in itself, but Gu Bei, who was standing beside Fang Xu, was a little unsettled.

After all, in Gu Bei's opinion, Fang Xu should have little left on him now, right?!

Twenty loads of rations, this is a full 2,000 catties of food!

This is enough food for half a month's worth of food for the entire population of Nanyang County, isn't this a joke?!

But looking at Fang Xu's current face, Gu Bei couldn't say anything.

After all, now Gu Bei can only follow Fang Xu to mess around, and doesn't Fang Xu know these things?!

This is obviously impossible, since Fang Xu can open this mouth now, it means that Fang Xu can bear the price.

Afterwards, Fang Xu didn't wait for the two rice shop bosses to tell him the final price, and directly took out two silver tickets with one hundred taels of silver and put them in front of the two rice shop bosses.

And told the two rice shop owners that this 100 taels is the price of taking five quintals in advance.

And what Fang Xu took away was not polished rice, if it was polished rice, it might be more than this price.

It's just that what makes these two rice shop owners curious is that Fang Xu took away ordinary grains such as wheat and glutinous rice, but they don't know what Fang Xu plans to do.

Fang Xu told the two rice shop owners that after half a month, he needed ten loads of rations each, hoping that he would not be disappointed at that time.

Gu Bei, who was standing beside Fang Xu, also made a note, and the two rice shop owners and Fang Xu also signed and drew a pledge.

After all, in the eyes of the two rice shop owners, Fang Xu is now clear that he is stupid and has a lot of money, why should such a person refuse?!

But in Fang Xu's opinion, he is now lightening the burden on himself.

On the way back, Gu Bei looked at the ten loads of wheat and glutinous rice that Mandu was carrying behind him with some embarrassment.

Gu Bei is really curious, is it possible that in the next few days, there are only these things that can be eaten?!

After all, Gu Bei really understood that Fang Xu's previous purchase of the Drunken Immortal Residence had already cost eight hundred taels of silver, plus the reconstruction and so on, at least more than one hundred taels.

plus the two hundred taels given by Fang Xu before, and then the monthly money of those servants in the mansion.

These also made Gu Bei, who was in charge of managing the accounts, instantly feel a pain in his head, after all, Fang Xu spent money so lavishly.

Gu Bei is really a little unbearable, and more importantly, what should I do with the price of the next twenty quintals? !

When the time comes, will you get the option to steal and rob?! However, Fang Xu reminded Gu Bei not to forget that there was still a ransom that had not been recovered.

Mandu, who was following behind Fang Xu and Gu Bei, was also a little stunned when he heard Fang Xu talk about the so-called ransom.

After all, in the previous time, what Mandu felt in Lao Wu was the temperament of some soldiers.

It stands to reason that it should be done above board, but if that's the case, then what are these ransoms now?!

But Mando also understands what he should know and what he shouldn't.

After Fang Xu's reminder, Gu Bei was relieved at this moment.

After all, Gu Bei was not worried about those sons who would not give ransom, after all, Gu Bei had also taken these into account before.

Of course, it was also for these sons to sign and draw, plus Fang Xu's identity.

Gu Bei definitely thought that it was impossible for these sons to choose to deny it, after all, they couldn't afford to lose this person, and secondly, these sons couldn't afford to offend Fang Xu.

Especially in Gu Bei's opinion, Fang Xu is a person who can not give face even with Bai Qi.

How can you be afraid of the forces behind these boys?! Thinking of this, Gu Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, if it weren't for the ransom of tens of thousands of taels, in Gu Bei's opinion, he might really have to eat soil next.

And when Fang Xu arrived at the mansion with Gu Bei and Mandu, Fang Xu's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Because Fang Xu saw the carriage parked next to the door of the mansion at this moment, if it was an ordinary person's carriage, Fang Xu might not have any idea.

But Fang Xu was really familiar with the carriage, especially when he almost did something in the carriage.

And this carriage is Shangguan Li'er's carriage, and at this moment this carriage is parked next to the mansion.

Of course, this means that Shangguan Li'er should have arrived in the mansion, right?! Now Fang Xu's face was a little cloudy.

Especially now that Fang Xu also knows that Qiu Chuji is daughter, I think Shangguan Li'er should have known about it before, right?!

Since this was the case, the corners of Fang Xu's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he even vaguely felt a little stomach pain.

But at this moment, does Fang Xu have any better choice?! This is obviously not the case.
