Chapter 13, the more the merrier (new book list, ask for clicks, recommendations, favorites, thank you)

"Here's the money." Seeing him like this, Lu Zhan really wanted to rush up and punch him, but he held back, reached out and took out an ingot of yellow cancan, half the size of a stone, from the gold and silver wrapped in the corner of his clothes.

"Wow, gold?" The shopkeeper suddenly stood up from the back chair, his eyes wide open, and his mouth opened in an O-shape.

"Look at how much rice I can buy with these silver taels?" Lu Zhan walked to a somewhat quaint rectangular counter more than a meter high and placed all his belongings on it.

The grandparents and grandchildren standing on the side were very surprised to see him show so much money at once, and they couldn't figure out what he was about, they just felt very strange and mysterious.

"Well, let me see, there are eight ingots of silver and two ingots of gold, and when all of them are converted into silver, it is 280 taels. I don't know if you want to buy high-quality rice, or medium-class or low-grade? "Rich is the master, the shopkeeper saw that Lu Zhan, who was very poorly dressed, was so rich, he suddenly became interested, enthusiastic, walked to the counter, and touched the gold and silver.

"What's superior, what's inferior? Can you explain? ”

"The grain of high-quality rice is uniform and white as jade; Medium rice grains are uneven and some yellowish; The inferior rice is not only yellow, but also mixed with some sand and rice bran. ”

"How much do they cost?"

"Three pounds of fine rice; Medium two money; Inferior money, genuine, Tong Su is not deceived. The shopkeeper introduced with a smile.

"Shopkeeper, why is it so expensive, wasn't it three catties of low-grade rice for one penny of silver and one pound of silver for high-grade rice yesterday?" Hearing him say this, the old woman standing behind Lu Zhan asked puzzledly.

"Go, old woman, what do you know? In today's world, there is chaos, maybe there will be no rice in the whole city tomorrow...... So this price is not fixed either. When the shopkeeper heard her say this, he instantly lost his smile and showed a fierce expression.

"But it can't go up so much, how can we poor people afford it in the future?" The old woman was not afraid of him, and still told the truth.

"You can't afford it, what's the matter with me? You starve to death, and I don't care what happens. The shopkeeper said angrily.

"Boss, are you still in business?" Lu Zhan was a little angry and said impatiently.

"What do you call me?"

"Old ...... Uh, shopkeeper. Lu Zhan remembered that he didn't have the word "boss" at this time, so he immediately changed his words, "I buy high-quality rice, how many catties do you think I can buy?" ”

"280 taels of silver is 2,800 yuan, divided by 3, it is 933, well, you can buy 933 catties of rice." The shopkeeper took the abacus on the counter and said as he fiddled with it.

"Okay, then you can bring it to me."

"Xiaocui, go to the treasury and ask someone to carry 900 catties of rice."

Before leaving, Yahuan, who was called Xiaocui, still looked at Lu Zhan's face: I didn't expect this person to be dressed well, he was so generous, and he was quite stupid, and he didn't know that he was "eaten" by the shopkeeper.

"Sit, please, sit up." After the shopkeeper cleaned up the silver taels, he said very politely to Lu Zhan, who was still standing, and moved the back chair he had just sat on.

"Tea, tea, good tea." Lu Zhan sat down generously and looked at him without forgetting to say sarcastically.

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, but his face was thick enough, and he smiled like a wave to hide the past.

Soon, a shirtless man with a hemp bag on his back came through the back door of the rice shop.

"Guest officer, I don't know if this rice is sent to your house or ......" The shopkeeper looked at Lu Zhan and said with a pleasant face.

"No, just put it on the street outside." Lu Zhan shook his head.

The shopkeeper thought to himself: there won't be a carriage to pull it, right? Then he told his subordinates to do as they were told.

After a while, nine bags of rice were neatly placed on the street outside the rice shop, and this strange behavior attracted many people passing by, who couldn't help but gather around curiously.

Lu Zhan untied a sack in front of everyone, and saw that the rice inside was not as white as he imagined - not comparable to the cat's tooth rice and Thai fragrant rice in the 21st century, nor too full, but it was quite even, and then he used a large bowl borrowed from the rice store to fill ten bowls of rice for the old woman.

The old woman originally brought a cloth bag to buy rice, but the money on her body was stolen, and the cloth bag was useless. Now when he saw the white rice in the cloth bag, he cried with joy, and asked his granddaughter to thank Lu Zhan.

"Big brother, thank you, good people have good rewards, I wish you a long life." The little girl supported the old woman in three steps and turned back.

"Remember to help me tell me that when I saw people who were hungry, I told them to come and get rice."

"Yes, big brother."

Seeing that the rice was distributed for free, the onlookers immediately exploded and asked noisily, "Do we have any?" "We're starving, too." "Okay, give us some." ”……

Seeing the surging crowd, Lu Zhan quickly surrounded him, and there was a tendency to rob without handing it out, so it would be a failure, so he immediately said: "You want it, you can, but you have to queue up, queue up, don't grab it, I'll send it one by one." ”

So everyone has a share? The eagerness of the onlookers eased, so they lined up first and came one by one according to what Lu Zhan said.

Standing at the front was a scrawny man, who had nothing to hold, so he used his clothes in his pocket.

Lu Zhan scooped two bowls of rice for him. He didn't move, and said puzzledly: "You gave them ten bowls of rice for those two people just now, why do I, I only have two bowls?" ”

"Both of them have been hungry for a few days, do you understand the priority?"

"I don't understand, I've been hungry for a few days." The thin man still didn't move.

Don't suffer from widowhood, only unevenness.

Lu Zhan really wanted to scold him for not being satisfied, but at this time, a strong man behind him urged: "Do you want to go?" If you don't go, I'll kick someone. If you take rice and earn less, how much do you give me? ”

The strong man's words had an effect, and the thin man immediately trotted away, without looking back.

Seeing that the strong man came to the front, Lu Zhan didn't immediately scoop rice for him, and thought for a while: "Brother Tai, can you help me maintain order?" I'll give you some more rice later, okay? ”

"Okay, why not? When you do good deeds, you are most afraid that someone will make trouble, okay, my hammer is standing here. The strong man smiled honestly and stood aside, urging the people in line.

This time, the order of the team is much better.

Seeing that he was tall, dark-skinned, wearing an undershirt, and living up to his name, Lu Zhan smiled slightly and scooped two large bowls for everyone who came to receive rice......

Someone distributed rice for free, which was tantamount to a pie in the sky, and the good thing quickly spread among the crowd, and more and more people rushed to Xinglong Rice Shop, which caused the entire rice shop to be drained.

When the shopkeeper of the rice store saw that the young man who bought rice from him actually gave away 900 catties of rice on the street for free, he couldn't help but shout in his heart, "I took the wrong medicine", and thought that "the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders", so he also mobilized the maids and servants at home to go to get rice.
