"Otherwise, we can sell it at a discount of 400 wen and one stone, but if we can't come up with the money, we can use something to offset it, so it should be okay. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "Fang Hong made another suggestion, if a person wants to buy more food, then the money is not enough, and bartering is also possible.

"Haha, young master, you are completely overly worried, in this famine year, our rice shop has a rule, that is, one person can buy a maximum of 100 catties, and the money spent is only 260 yuan. Even if a whole family comes to buy it, it won't be able to buy much, and everyone can still afford it. Shopkeeper Zhao smiled, although the young master was a little naïve, but his heart was good, and he didn't have any habits of being squirrel.

"Oh, there are still such rules?" his own suggestions were repeatedly overturned, but Fang Hong was not much embarrassed, anyway, he was thick-skinned, and he practiced it when he was young. He is just very curious about such a rule, shouldn't the people be allowed to buy more grain in this famine year? Why are there still restrictions on purchases?

"This rule was set more than ten years ago, we have reduced the price, if there is no restriction on purchase, then other rice merchants directly buy rice from us at a low price, then then the high price will change hands, not only we will suffer, but the people will not get good." "Shopkeeper Zhao is like a teacher who teaches earnestly, giving Fang Hong a patient explanation.

"That's right. Fang Hong went over these words in his head, hey, that's really the case. The world is difficult, people's hearts are sinister, and there are always people who will be shameless and do some things that lack morality.

The two said that it was a discussion, but in fact, it was a learning process for Fang Hong. Shopkeeper Zhao told him a lot of open and secret rules, which he couldn't touch in the village.

Shopkeeper Zhao was also very satisfied with Fang Hong's attitude, if ordinary people had their suggestions rejected many times, they would have been annoyed and angry, but the young master was very modest from beginning to end, and when he encountered something he didn't understand, he would ask carefully. It is rare to be able to do this, even among adults.

As they were talking, the sun was already rising, and the man at the rice shop took a piece of red paper, on which the price of rice was marked, and added a sentence that each person was limited to 100 catties.

In the famine year, all the rice shops were taking the opportunity to raise prices, and the behavior of the Fang family rice shop soon spread out, and it didn't take long for the door of the store to be crowded, and several guys were sent out to maintain order outside.

"Young master, we sell grain at a low price, and we also pay for carriages and horses, do you say that we have lost or earned? Looking at the crowded situation outside, Shopkeeper Zhao stood beside Fang Hong and suddenly asked.

Fang Hong opened his mouth and was about to say that he was losing, this is not clear, businessmen travel to and from various places, the cost of this carriage and horse is expensive, the farther the distance, the more money is consumed. Especially in this severe drought in Jiangxi, the cost of transporting grain from other places is even more exaggerated, which is of course a loss.

But since Shopkeeper Zhao asked like this, the answer is definitely not so simple.

"Earned. After thinking about it for a while, Fang Hong seemed to understand something, and said affirmatively.

"Why?" shopkeeper Zhao continued to ask with a smile.

"Hearts are priceless. ”......

......

At noon, a guy came back from buying some pastries from outside, and everyone had a meal with tea. At this point, it is the time when the passenger flow is at its peak, and the price of this rice shop is reduced, even if there is no shortage of rice at home for the time being, you have to buy some to go home.

"Let's go, you're in the way of my uncle, why don't you get out?" Fang Hong had been in the rice shop for so long and had learned a lot of things, he was watching a few guys weighing food, but he heard a commotion in his ears.

When I looked up, there were two ruffians. How can you tell that they are ruffians? That's too simple, these people are wearing clothes that are half tucked up on the waistband of their trousers, half drooping down, and the hats on their heads are crookedly on one side, and while they walk, they are still clasping the leaves in their mouths with their fingers, and you say that they are good people, and others don't believe them.

The two ruffians stepped forward and pushed the man in line in front of them out of the way, and the big horn's squinted eyes took their place. When ordinary people encounter such a situation, they naturally dare to be angry and dare not speak, and the person shrank his head and avoided it from afar.

"Agui, go and drive those two ruffians away. Fang Hong couldn't help frowning when he saw that someone was making trouble, if he was honestly buying food, even if he was a ruffian, they would greet him with a smile, after all, he was doing business, and he would never drive people outside.

Ah Gui nodded, and it just so happened that he also felt that his hands were itchy, so he had a good time with these two people.

But he was just about to make a move, but he was stopped by the shopkeeper Zhao, who walked to the counter with a smile on his face, "How much rice do you need?"

"I'm going to buy ten stones. "The first person was a little surprised, I thought that the people from the rice shop would come out to stop them, but I didn't expect it to be a soft product, so daring.

"I'm sorry, we can only buy a hundred catties at most, if you need more food, please go to a few rice shops on the other side of the street. Shopkeeper Zhao still spoke very politely, stretched out his hand and pointed to the red paper on the side, and the rules on it were written very clearly in black and white.

"Hey, you who are open to business, you don't make money yet, I have to buy ten stones today, so I ask you if you can sell it." The leader of the ruffian grinned, he had come to make trouble this time.

"Our rules are clearly written, you see that the big guy can only buy 100 catties, and you have to buy 10 stones at once, isn't that unfair to everyone. Although the other party was not good, Shopkeeper Zhao did not mean to be angry at all.

"What does it matter to me if they are unfair or not? I'll leave it here today, and if I can't buy enough food today, I'm not leaving. The man patted the counter and said defiantly.

"Why don't you let it go first, we'll discuss this matter later, and you let the people behind buy it first. If there are many, it doesn't matter if we sell them to you. If you bought so much food at the beginning, what would you do with the people in the back?"

"It's their business that they can't buy it, and starving to death has nothing to do with me, I'm going to buy it first!" The man saw that Shopkeeper Zhao was so honest and easy to bully, and his tone became more and more arrogant.

Shopkeeper Zhao hasn't seen what has happened, but the people standing behind him have stopped doing it, should we be starved to death?

"If you want to buy it, you can buy it, and if you don't buy it, you can leave, don't delay everyone's work. In the crowd behind him, there was the sound of an urn. Fang Hong was a little familiar when he heard this voice, as if it was some guy in the store.

"Yes, you also said that you want to buy ten stones, looking at your appearance, I don't know if you can afford it for a hundred catties?"

"Who? who said that!" When the leader heard that he was about to rebel, he slammed the counter, and was about to look back, when a rotten egg "snapped" and smashed directly into his face.
