Chapter 30: Temptation

Upper Grove Street.

"Little master, you better go elsewhere, we really can't spare food."

The shopkeeper looked at the monk standing in front of his shop, and persuaded him in a good voice.

"Isn't it hard for me to stand here? Now that there are so many displaced people, and there is only so much food, we are afraid that there will not be enough for those who provide for us. ”

The little monk looked at the shopkeeper in front of him, and he didn't know how to speak.

The shopkeeper in front of them is also what they usually deal with, after all, there are so many people up and down in the temple, and they also have to chew it.

This shopkeeper is usually a good talker, but now......

"Senior brother! Go to Shopkeeper Jian in Qingping Lane, Shopkeeper Jian promised to give us food. ”

Quit Resentment hurriedly arrived, and saw his junior brother standing cramped in front of the shopkeeper, and his heart was not good.

At this time, he felt that Jian Zhizhi's plan was quite relieved.

So he quickly raised his voice to greet his junior brother, and looked at the shopkeeper with some smugness.

"The shopkeeper doesn't have to worry, the shopkeeper Jian in Qingping Lane promised to give us twenty bags of rice, so we won't bother."

"What Senior Brother said is true?"

After hitting the wall several times, he suddenly heard a good news, and the little monk was still a little incredulous.

Qu Resentment looked sideways at his surprised junior brother and nodded seriously.

Quit resentment: "It's true, you go and help a few senior brothers send food back, and I'll go and inform the other senior brothers." ”

"That Jane shopkeeper is such a good person! The Buddha will bless her. ”

Business Manager: ......

At this time, the little girl in Qingping Lane took out so much food for these people?!

He hadn't recovered from this shock, and his face instantly turned blue when he heard the sentence of quitting resentment.

Quit resentment: "Go quickly, by the way, I will remind the people around here that if you want to stock up on a little food, it is better to buy it here than the shopkeeper Jane."

Although the price of Jane's shopkeeper's grain has also increased, it is only 20 wen a catty, which is 10 wen cheaper than his 30 wen. ”

Twenty texts!

That girl is here to steal business.

The shopkeeper regretted a little, why did he forget to say hello to the little girl.

There was a lesson from the past, and he said that Jian Zhizhi also sent twenty bags of rice to them, and the little monk heard that Jian Zhizhi's rice had also risen, but he didn't think anything about it.

The little monk left, and the shopkeeper congratulated him decently:

"Those people have their own natural appearance, with the help of you living bodhisattvas, and the help of that little girl, you will definitely be able to get through this experience."

Qu Resentment glanced at the shopkeeper and hesitated.

The shopkeeper pretended not to see the change in his expression, but instead made a tentative sound:

"Things have taken a turn for the better, why is the little master still embarrassed?"

It can't be that those twenty bags of rice are not enough, and you want to get more from him, right?

This is not possible!

The look on the shopkeeper's face gradually disappeared, and he took the initiative to ask without waiting for the resentment to speak:

"But Shopkeeper Jane doesn't have much food on hand?"

If that's the case, then you can find a way to help her and let her close the door early.

Twenty wen a pound of rice, if you move it to him and sell it, you can earn a difference of ten wen.

After a long time, maybe it will rise even more in the future!

Quan Yan immediately showed consternation, and looked at him in disbelief, as if he was surprised how the shopkeeper could guess correctly.

The heart of the guard against resentment is also a little complicated, obviously he hasn't said anything, this shopkeeper has thought so much.

Looking at his expression, it seems that he has taken the bait.

Quit resentment put away the complexity in his heart, and hurriedly said goodbye:

"The little monk still has to remind the other senior brothers, so he won't stay here at the shopkeeper."

After quitting resentment, he will leave, and he will not stop at all.

He didn't lie, he really wanted to remind those senior brothers.

With Jian Zhizhi's twenty bags of grain as a base, they don't need to waste time with those shopkeepers.

The shopkeeper looked at the grievances that left in a hurry, and looked at the back as if he had fled with a little bit of desertion.

The shopkeeper beckoned the guy from the shop, "Little four, come here." ”

Xiao Sile walked up to the shopkeeper and took the initiative to ask:

"Shopkeeper, you're looking for me."

The shopkeeper of the business: "You go to Qingping Lane to inquire and see if the price of rice there is lower than ours." ”

"Okay."

Jian Zhizhi knew that the remaining 2,795 catties of rice in the backyard warehouse were barely scraped together forty bags of seventy catties of rice, and it was almost enough to move them from other bags a little.

The error is small, and those shopkeepers should not be able to see it.

She dragged ten bags into the shop and filled the rice that had been taken a little before stopping.

You can't take too much out at once, and it's not good if you scare the people who come to buy it.

At this time, not counting the twelve bags of rice promised to Huguo Temple, there were still twenty-seven bags of rice in her shop.

After Jian Zhizhi finished hauling the rice, he saw that no one had come over, so he went to collect the grain.

She alone is definitely not as good as Qingsheng and others, but if she can collect a little bit, maybe she will be able to come in handy next time.

Guarding in the shop, when he saw a junior brother running over, he asked him to carry two bags of rice back first.

"Senior Brother of Wariness, why are you staying here? Isn't Jane's shopkeeper there? Is it okay for us to take the food? ”

Caution: "The shopkeeper is in the backyard, you can carry it back with peace of mind, these are what the shopkeeper promised us." ”

"In that case, then I'll send two bags back first."

Vigilant nodded, and helped him carry two bags on his shoulders.

As soon as Xiao Si came over, what he saw was the back of the monk carrying the rice away.

He didn't act rashly, but inquired about the surrounding shops.

When the man heard his curiosity, he shook his head and sighed:

"That's ten bags away. That Jane's shopkeeper really doesn't make a living. ”

Good food was snatched away in vain.

In the end, it's the little girl's family, and she can't wipe that face.

Xiao Si's eyes rolled and continued to inquire:

"I heard that her food here has risen to 20 wen a catty."

The man was surprised, the price had risen?

Could it be that the situation outside is already very serious?

Otherwise, why would the price increase at this time?

"I haven't heard of this."

There was a little more apprehension in the man's tone, did those monks say something to Jian Zhizhi?

Xiao Si didn't ask any more when he heard this, but took the initiative to walk towards Jian Zhizhi's shop.

"Is the shopkeeper there?"

Xiao Si poked his head into the shop, but only saw a monk, and he hesitated for a while.

When he saw him vigilantly, he took the initiative to ask:

"But the donor wants to buy rice?"

When he asked this, his vigilance was also looking at Xiao Si.

Jian Zhizhi explained before going in that if ordinary people came to buy rice, it would still cost eight cents a catty;

If someone with ulterior motives comes, the price is 20 wen a catty.

The man in front of him......

Xiao Si was surprised when he heard this, "Why is it that you are entertaining guests here, little master?"

Why isn't that Jane shopkeeper there?

I heard that her rice only costs twenty wen a catty, is it true or fake? ”
