Chapter 69: Suffering a Loss
Liu Youcai immediately smiled and said: "Hehe, shopkeeper Xu, we are all old acquaintances, how can you calculate your fire consumption by exchanging some silver, a few of you take out the copper coins to be exchanged, and I will exchange them for you directly for free." ”
The three boys in front of them all came in empty-handed, and the three of them could only carry one or two copper coins in their pockets, even if they took one or two hundred dollars from the fire consumption according to the highest charge of the money bank.
These few small money, not to mention the young owner of Yuantai Qianzhuang, even Liu Youcai himself, did not take it seriously.
Liu Youcai is the manager of Yuantai Qianzhuang, and his salary of five taels of silver a month is untouchable.
At the end of the year, you can still get some dividends, and at the end of the year, there is always an income of sixty taels of silver.
In the scope of Changhe County, this salary is already very high.
Therefore, Liu Youcai felt that if he could use the price of one or two hundred yuan to let the three boys in front of him feel the cruelty and inequality of society, so that they could learn the truth of being a human being, then he and the Shaodong family would not be in vain today.
Of course, if this kind of humiliating practice can completely destroy the self-confidence of this boy surnamed Xu, so that they can get the real estate of Xu's liquor store in Taiping Town in advance, it will be a good thing.
It's a pity that only a moment later, Liu Youcai, who made this decision, couldn't help but want to slap himself in the face.
Seeing that Xu Yang, who should have jumped like thunder or walked away directly according to his expectations, he looked at him like a fool and smiled at him at this time, and then arched his hand towards them with a bright face and said, "Then thank you to this young owner and Steward Liu." ”
When Steward Liu was a little stunned with his fat young owner, he saw Zhang Tianxiang, who was carrying a big cash cabinet, walked in from outside the door with difficulty.
Xiaoyu and Erdan hurriedly ran over and helped him carry the cash cabinet on his shoulder.
Taking a breath, Zhang Tianxiang shouted at Xu Yang with a look of grievance: "Shopkeeper, this bowl of wine is really not profitable, you have worked so hard to exploit me, won't your conscience hurt?"
Xu Yang hurriedly comforted: "Brother Zhang, don't be angry, how about I compensate you with 500 yuan later?"
"Really?" Zhang Tianxiang's eyes were full of doubts, when did the black-hearted shopkeeper become so easy to speak?
"It's more real than real gold!" Xu Yang swore solemnly.
Then he turned his head and shouted at the counter, "Steward Liu, these are the copper coins we want to exchange for silver, you can call someone to come and count them." ”
Seeing the yellow and brilliant copper coins in the cash cabinet, Liu Youcai's whole face at the counter turned green.
His uncle, he is really an eighty-year-old lady and a child, he is a big man who has lived to more than forty, but he accidentally let the half-year-old son in front of him be calculated, do you say he is angry?
This copper coin full of money cabinets, to say the least, must have more than thirty yuan.
If it is calculated according to the fire consumption of 10%, they will have to collect more than three taels of silver in this business.
Even if you tap the lowest half of the fire consumption, you have to charge more than one or two silver.
Such a sum of money for nothing, he was exempted with a word, which is really a big loss.
Just now, they despised Xu Yang, and they couldn't take out a few copper plates, and their faces were even more ugly at this time.
His fat cheeks, which looked like they were swollen, couldn't help but twitch a few times.
A moment later, with a dark face, he slipped out the back door straight through the corner of the wall.
The loss of a few taels of silver was a trivial matter not worth mentioning for him, the young owner of the bank, but the key was that those boys looked at him like fools, which made him really unbearable.
Damn, those boys actually pretended to be pigs and ate tigers in front of him, and when they got the opportunity one day, they had to let those boys really be pigs.
The young owner of Yuantai Qianzhuang, who pretended to be a fool, ran away, but Liu Youcai, the manager of Qianzhuang, couldn't escape.
Businessman, pay attention to a letter.
This is especially true for people like them.
Don't talk about any unsavory things in private, at least on the surface, you still have to maintain the word credit, otherwise who would dare to do business with them?
So he just suffered a loss, but Liu Youcai could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
In addition, he had to endure the strange eyes of the boys on the other side while supervising a few junior apprentices in the money village to count the copper coins.
There is strength in numbers.
Soon, the cash cabinet full of copper coins was counted by them.
A total of 33,562 copper coins were counted.
Xu Yang took away the more than 500 copper coins in the fraction, and finally exchanged thirty-three taels of silver from Yuantai Bank.
Seeing these boys walking out of the gate of Qianzhuang with a bright face, Liu Youcai took a long breath.
Damn, this loss-making business is too torturous, if you do this a few more times, you have to lose a few years of life.
Of course, Zhang Tianxiang at this time didn't have time to pay attention to Liu Youcai's bitterness.
As soon as he went out, he immediately stretched out his hand to Xu Yang and said, "Shopkeeper, what about my 500 yuan compensation?
When it comes to the big matter of 500 yuan, you can't be a little sloppy, if you ask later, maybe you will be bluffed by this black-hearted shopkeeper again.
"You kid loves to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, when did the words of this shopkeeper not count?"
Xu Yang glanced at Zhang Tianxiang, then counted five hundred wen and threw it into his hand, and continued to count: "This is five hundred wen, you can count it yourself, don't blame me for giving less when the time comes." ”
"Hehe, a lot, a lot!" After the five hundred dollars were in hand, the corners of Zhang Tianxiang's mouth were about to laugh.
He hasn't let go of money in his pocket for a long time, and with the five hundred dollars in his hand, Zhang Tianxiang feels that he has a lot of confidence to speak.
Looking at his stunned face, Xu Yang smiled very tolerantly, then reached out and took out two pieces of silver weighing one or two, and threw them at Xiaoyu and Erdan respectively.
"Come, this is the hard-earned money of the two of you today, I have collected it, I don't care if I lose it. ”
After receiving the silver Xiaoyu and Erdan, both of their hands couldn't help but tremble.
With average family conditions, they can usually get ten or eight copper coins to be happy as if they were celebrating the New Year, but now that they suddenly have such a piece of silver in their hands, they suddenly feel a little hot.
But before the two of them could say anything about resignation, Zhang Tianxiang, who was still stunned just now, quit.
"Shopkeeper, you are also biased, you give them one or two silver, why only give me five hundred yuan?" Zhang Tianxiang said indignantly.
"Hey, Brother Zhang, just now you kept saying a lot, why is it suddenly too little?" Xu Yang teased.
