The young chef's angry scolding made Li Tian's footsteps slow down slightly, and he stopped and looked at Xiao Er suspiciously.

"Hmph~!Wang Ping, what's the matter with you?"

When Xiao Er saw the young chef, he shouted angrily, very dissatisfied!

"It's really none of my business! But you're too much! Black Xiangzhu is worth now, you know very well, plus the store is in urgent need now, and you have got a lot of benefits from it, and now you even give back a little copper plate, are you embarrassed?"

Wang Ping walked over and asked angrily.

"Hmph, you don't have to worry about it, Li Tian and I are willing to buy and sell!"

Xiao Er's expression on his face changed, his eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look at Li Tian.

"Li Tian, you have been deceived, these black fragrant bamboos can be sold for at least fifty copper plates, plus this time because of urgent needs, at least worth more than one or two silver, in the future, your black fragrant bamboo will be sold to me, and I will give you twenty-five copper plates at a time!"

Wang Ping glanced at Xiao Er with contempt, and then looked at Li Tian and said directly.

"Hmph, Wang Ping, you are so daring! Don't forget, I have a share of the head chef here!"

Hearing Wang Ping say this, Xiao Er's face changed instantly, and he said angrily.

"Head Chef!"

Hearing Xiao Er's words, Wang Ping was also stunned, and the expression on his face was also uncertain.

"Hmph, what's the matter! Do you still dare to accept black fragrant bamboo?"

Xiao Er smiled disdainfully.

Li Tian stood there, silent, he was already silent, and he didn't know what to say at this time.

"Li Tian, don't listen to his nonsense, in fact, it's not easy for us, the black fragrant bamboo in the past, a lot ......of it was useless, it was burned as ordinary wood, and it can only be used now!

"Got it, little second brother! You don't need to say it, I know everything!"

Li Tian interrupted Xiao Er's words and said, "In the future, I will sell you the black fragrant bamboo!"

"Good! good brother!"

Xiao Er patted Li Tian on the shoulder with some excitement.

"Then I'm leaving!"

Li Tianchong nodded at Xiao Er, and after forgetting Wang Ping gratefully, he left lonely.

Behind Li Tian, Xiao Er's face was excited and excited, while Wang Ping had an angry face, but he forcibly suppressed it.

"Li Tian, what I said remains the same, give me the black fragrant bamboo, and I'll give you twenty-five copper plates!"

Looking at Li Tian, who was leaving silently, Wang Ping shouted loudly.

"Thank you!"

In the distance, Li Tian's lonely voice came.

"Hmph, Li Tian, I know, what you recognize will not change! You have no hope...... Haha!"

There was a smug smile on the corner of Xiao Er's mouth.

"You are so shameless! Hei Xiangzhu, you have made a lot of money from the restaurant, but I didn't expect that you would even lower the price here in Li Tian! And you still press it so low! You are so shameless!"

Wang Ping glanced at Xiao Er coldly, and then entered the kitchen.

......

"Oh no, I didn't take the rope!"

Li Tian, who had already walked outside the town, suddenly found that he had forgotten to take the rope.

If something like this happened, if he went back again, it was obvious that Li Tian would be embarrassed.

After that, he sighed secretly that he had to buy another one.

If Wang Ping's words didn't touch Li Tian at all, it was fake, in the past period of time, he had long known the true price of black fragrant bamboo, and he had never sold it to others, also because Xiao Er had helped him in the first place.

Although he bought the black fragrant bamboo cheaply from his own hands, it was really helpful to him compared to others.

At the beginning, after Liu Huyuan was gone, the fields were taken away, and Li Tian was also penniless, if it wasn't for Xiao Er's black fragrant bamboo to collect him, I'm afraid that Li Tian at that time would have starved to death, even if he didn't starve to death, he would only have to sleep on the streets.

After buying a few steamed buns in the town, Li Tian rushed to Daliu Village.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Tian rushed back to Daliu Village, in the small village, he did not meet Liu Yuanshan and them, and he was slightly relieved in his heart, and walked straight to the door of the house.

In the distance, Li Tian saw a person standing at the door of his house.

It was an old man, and his hair was gray.

"Is it another month? Time flies!"

Seeing this old man, Li Tian secretly sighed in his heart.

"Grandpa Liu!"

Walking to the door of the house, Li Tian shouted respectfully.

"Li Tian, you're back!"

Seeing Li Tian come back, the old man said lightly, although his words were flat, but there was not much disgust. This is much better than the rest of the village.

"Hmm!"

Li Tian nodded, and after that, he took out a handful of copper coins from his arms, and finally, he lost fifteen, held them in his hands, and prepared to hand them over to the old man.

"Grandpa Liu, this is this month's rent, fifteen copper coins!"

Li Tian handed over the copper coin.

This house belongs to Liu Huyuan, and it is also Li Tian's own, but since Liu Huyuan's death, Li Tian has to pay rent to the village every month.

"Hey! Liu Huyuan is dead, and the land left to Li Tian is gone, and even he has to pay rent to live in his own house! But...... Right now...... Hey!"

There was a trace of unbearability in the old man's eyes, but he didn't take the copper coins, but glanced at Li Tian embarrassedly, and said, "Li Tian......! The village chief said that this month's rent has risen, and it will cost ....... thirty ....... copper coins!"

In the end, even the old man himself was embarrassed to say it.

"Thirty?"

Li Tian's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and the whole person was stunned.

"It's gone up again! It's just living in my own house, and I still have to pay rent, and now I still need thirty copper coins! The land is gone, are they still going to take my house now?"

Li Tian's heart was very angry, but in order to live here, he had no other way but to obey.

Forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, he took out all the copper coins from his arms, and Li Tian counted them, a total of thirty-two copper plates.

"Grandpa Liu, here are thirty-two copper coins, you take them all, it's just ...... It's just that I have a question that I don't understand and want to ask!"

Because of anger and grievance, Li Tian's voice trembled a little.

"Hey, what kind of questions do you ask, as for this copper coin, I will only take thirty!"

The old man sighed lowly, and there was a look of unbearability in his eyes, he only took away thirty copper coins and kept two for Li Tian.

Because he knew that these thirty-two copper coins were all Li Tian's belongings, and if he took them today, then his food money for tomorrow would not have been settled.

You know, he's just a kid!

"Grandpa Liu came into the house and said!"

Li Tian let the old man into the house.

The door was unlocked, and there were only the simplest things in the room, not even the tools to pour tea for the old man.

Li Tian was somewhat embarrassed.

"It's okay, if you have any questions, just ask!"

The old man didn't care, but he was a little sad in his heart.

"I want to ask Grandpa Liu, do you know why my surname is Li and not Liu?"

Li Tian asked seriously.

"This ......!"

The old man was stunned, obviously not expecting that Li Tian would ask such a question.
