There are several rice shops in this Red Leaf Town, and this Wujia Rice Shop, this street has been open for one or two decades, and it can be regarded as a well-known shop in Red Leaf Town. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the Wu family's family background is not as strong as Zhao Qiansun and Li Si's family, they can be regarded as a small rich man by relying on rice and grain trading. After all, rice grain is a necessity for people, and not everyone has a field at home and farms it. Even if they are like the four major families, even if they have land and land, they can't supply them up and down, so they have to buy rice and grain.

Before they approached the crowd, Xia Chen and the others heard a man's voice from the crowd of onlookers.

"Everyone, come and comment! Ladies and gentlemen, you should judge and judge! I obviously want three buckets of rice, but this Wu Lao rice called me two buckets and nine liters, which is one liter less! My family of four has been busy for a month, so I point to the three buckets of rice that I bought with this money to make up for food and clothing! He is too black-hearted!" (Note)

came to the door of Wujia Mipu, the captain picked up a few people in front of him, and squeezed into the front of the crowd with Xia Chen and Zhao Si.

It turned out to be a relatively thin man, about forty years old, who was tearing his throat out and shouting.

The onlookers around also pointed at the parties.

"Who is this man?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen this person. ”

"Which village is it from?"

"Possibly. ”

“......”

However, some people are talking about the shopkeeper of Wu's rice shop.

This shopkeeper is Wu Laomi in the mouth of the emaciated man.

Wu Laomi, naturally, is not his real name, but he has been doing this business for 20 years, and he is already an "old man" in this industry.

At this time, Wu Laomi's face was flushed, he had opened a rice shop for so many years, and it was the first time he had met such a person!

Wu Laomi obviously weighed three buckets of rice, and seeing that this person was a new customer, he weighed Sihe more for him, and it was Wu Laomi himself and the guys in the store who weighed it three times in front of this customer, and only after being accurate did he hand over the rice to him.

Unexpectedly, the new customer picked up this bag of rice and checked it, which felt unreliable, so he questioned the golden sign of Wu Lao Mi, insisting that it was not enough to scale, and Wu Lao Mi's scale was not accurate!

As he spoke, he walked to the side and asked for a scale, and when he weighed it, it was indeed one liter less!

Wu Laomi is dumbfounded!

After opening a rice shop for 20 years, he has never lost a grain of rice, and there will be a little more!

Wu Laomi didn't believe in this evil, so he asked for a scale from another family, and the result was that he almost didn't hit his feet!

Still one liter less!

No, it should be one liter less than when he weighed it!

This liter is three catties, and Sihe is also more than half a catty, and it is three and a half catties less at once, and the gap is too big for him Wu Laomi!

However, the facts are here, Wu Laomi is also dumb and eats Coptis - speechless!

Seeing that the people around him are gathering more and more, it is not a way to go on like this, and if you don't do it, you will smash the signboard. Helplessly, Wu Laomi sighed, and was about to ask the other party how to deal with it.

Just as he was about to speak, Captain Zhao came to the front of the crowd of onlookers with two patrol members.

"What's going on?" Captain Zhao glanced at the man who bought the rice and Wu Laomi seriously, and then asked.

Wu Laomi saw that all the people patrolling were alarmed, and his heart involuntarily "chuckled".

The backbone of the back is already sweating!

Although this thing is weird, the evidence is basically the other party's, and I can't provide evidence, if I continue to pull it like this, I will definitely be at my own fault.

"You say it first!" said Captain Zhao, pointing to the man who was buying rice.

The man who bought the rice also glanced at Captain Zhao, Xia Chen, and Zhao Sidi, and found that it was the patrol team, and then he politely said his "grievances".

Captain Zhao has a three-foot scimitar pinned to his waist, his hand is on the hilt, and his body is standing straight, this appearance is very imposing, majestic and majestic, it is no exaggeration to say that he has more "official spirit" than Mayor Zhao.

He listened to the words of the man who bought rice, just nodded slightly, and did not respond immediately, but turned around slightly, pointed at Wu Laomi and said, "You can also talk about it!"

"Yes!" Although Wu Laomi broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't tremble when he spoke, like a person who was used to seeing wind and rain. He told Captain Zhao about the matter.

Captain Zhao nodded slightly as just now, and responded.

"Phew!"

Unexpectedly, at this time, the person who bought the rice was happy, "Wu Laomi is lying, he and his buddy only weighed three buckets and nine liters for me, how could he still weigh me more than Sihe?!"

"You ......" Wu Laomi is also helpless, this face is blue for a while, white for a while, purple for a while, and red for a while.

Captain Zhao frowned slightly, and then said loudly: "Don't be impatient, two of you!" Then he looked at Xia Chen and Zhao Sidi, "You guys go find two scales each!"

Xia Chen and Zhao Sidi clasped their fists and said, "Yes!"

Then the two of them went to find the scales separately, but before leaving, Xia Chen glanced at the person who bought rice, and found that this person took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and his eyes showed a trace of evil charm, and then he glanced to the left front.

Xia Chen hurriedly followed his line of sight and was surprised to find a figure passing by the roof!

Quickly leaving the crowd, Zhao Sidi left to the right, and Xia Chen ran to the left.

If it weren't for the fact that he was hiding from others, he would almost have run away!

Coming to the approximate location where he saw a figure just now, Xia Chen found a corner, and when passers-by were not paying attention, he jumped and jumped onto the roof next to him.

The roof in his sight just now was opposite him, but when he looked around, there were no human figures anywhere, and he didn't even see bird feathers!

Xia Chen would not suspect that he was hallucinating due to his mistake, he would only suspect that there was something wrong with this!

Let's go back first!

Xia Chen jumped down again while people were not paying attention.

A cat with a fresh small fish in its mouth happened to pass by, and was startled by Xia Chen, who suddenly jumped out, and hurriedly let go and dropped the fish and ran away.

What a cowardly kitten!

After dressing up, Xia Chen walked to the street, and then came to a store where he bought carbon.

This late autumn, carbon is also starting to sell. People don't have to wait for the weather to get cold before they think of buying carbon, and then there may be no market.

A few guys are busy.

"Shopkeeper!" Xia Chen walked into the store and shouted.

"Come on, guest officer, do you want to buy carbon?" Xia Chen swept around the store, but no one arrived, but the voice arrived!

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with black skin and carbon eyes walked out from behind a few packets of carbon.

As soon as he saw the patrol members, the old man said: "Yo, it turned out to be the patrol officer, and he lost his welcome, and he lost his welcome." ”

This man looks like a merchant's fodder.

Xia Chen politely arched his hand at the old man and said, "Shopkeeper, can you borrow your scale?"

"Yes!" he said, and asked Xia Chen to get a scale.

"But sir, our scale may be a little dark, why don't you wipe it for you?"

Xia Chen touched it, this is not ordinary black, there is a layer of black ash!

But time is urgent, and I can't take care of that much.

"Don't bother, I'll give it back to you later!" Xia Chen took the scale and quickly went to Wujiami's shop.

(Note: Bucket is an ancient Chinese unit of measurement, one bucket is ten liters, each liter weighs about 1.5 kilograms, one liter is ten li, each weighing 150 grams.) ）
