Chapter 38
No one was interested before, but now the restaurant owner took the initiative to buy, and the surprise came too quickly. This huge gap made Yunlin unable to react, and was stunned for a while.

The owner of the restaurant looked at Yunlin and said with a smile: "Old man, I really want to buy it, you see...?"

"Ah... oh, I don't mean anything else, but I never thought that you would buy it, boss. I didn't realize it for a while, so I made you laugh." Yunlin said at a loss.

At this time, his expression was quite rich, ranging from the excitement of facing a sudden surprise, to the shyness and restraint of a countryman, and to the bewilderment and bewilderment of the next transaction.

After all, he has never experienced such a thing, especially when it comes to the transaction of "valuable items" such as 'honey'.

On the contrary, the owner of the restaurant was very calm, and waved his hand lightly and politely: "You can't do it, I'm a junior, and I can't live up to the name you call me, and my life will be shortened. My surname is Li, and my single name is "Autumn". Just call me Xiaoli"

I have to say that the owner of this restaurant is really a well-rounded person, and he treats people like a spring breeze. Even when facing poor countrymen like Yunlin, he doesn't have the slightest attitude of being superior to others.

Yun Jing witnessed the whole process, I don't know if all the scholars in this world have both ability and political integrity or only a few like the boss.

However, Yun Jing believed that the majority of scholars in this ancient society were like this. There is a saying to describe scholars, which is to have both ability and morality, with virtue first, followed by talent.

Regarding the attitude of Li Qiu, the owner of the restaurant, although Yunlin is very useful, but as a poor farmer, humility has already been carved into his bones, so he didn't dare to take it too seriously at this time. : "The boss thinks highly of me when he buys my honey, and we are no longer seniors or juniors..., I... I think the boss is literate, why don't I call you Mr. Li?"

"That's fine, seniors can do whatever they want, I don't know this honey...?" Li Qiu smiled, pointed to the 'honey' in Yunlin's hand, and lightly changed the subject.

Looking down at the bamboo tube containing maltose, Yunlin hesitated to speak, and finally said truthfully: "Mr. Give me a price?"

Yun Jing lowered his head to drink the porridge, his small mouth sizzled, but he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, he thought to himself, my grandfather, how can you talk about business like this, let others watch the bid, you are not waiting to be slaughtered .

But then again, it's reasonable for my grandfather to be so Yunjing, just like him, even if you want to pretend to be smart, you can't pretend.

Although Yunlin's remarks surprised Li Qiu a little, but considering that honey is rare, it is reasonable that Yunlin has never traded before.

After thinking about it, he looked at Yunlin seriously and said, "Old man, I won't lower your price either. We will do whatever we want. I will buy it from you at the market price..."

Speaking of this, Li Qiu paused and continued: "I don't know the market price this year, I only bought it last year. After all, this item is rare. When I bought it last year, it cost 16 taels a catty, so I will give it to you at this price, but Considering that there are some impurities in your honey, the price is not too much, right? So the price I finally gave was 15 taels, five renminbi a catty to buy from you, what does the old man think?"

"Ah?" Hearing Li Qiu's quotation, Yun Lin was stunned and dumbfounded.

At this moment, Yunlin felt dizzy, Li Qiu's price was beyond his imagination, 15 taels five cents a catty to buy his own 'honey', how much would that be?

And the 'honey' in my hands is only made from a few catties of grain, and its price has more than doubled by a hundred times?
The numbness of the scalp is the most true portrayal of Yunlin at the moment. One is that he is overwhelmed by the current price, and the other is that he is frightened. If the method of making this "honey" is known, he can't imagine that it will What a terrible disaster!

Li Qiu thought that Yunlin disliked the low price, so he explained with a smile: "Old man, what I offered was the real price. If you don't believe me, you can go to other places to ask. There will never be anyone who offers a higher price than me. I am also open for business, and I am the most honest, if I smashed my signboard for these few catties of honey, then it is not worth the loss, isn't it?"

"No, no, Mr. Li misunderstood. I don't dislike the low price, but I didn't expect honey to be so valuable. It's unbearable for a while. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I have lived for so many years and I have never seen so much money at once. ", Yunlin hurriedly waved his hands in embarrassment.

To be reasonable, Yun Jing was extremely surprised at this moment. Although Li Qiu was open for business, he couldn't be so sincere, right?

He doesn't understand the reason why saving a little is a little?
It's not that Yunjing doubted the authenticity of what he said, it's just that he can't figure it out, there must be some factors that he doesn't understand.

Li Qiu smiled and said with a face of understanding: "In this case, old man, you agreed to sell it to me at such a price?"

"Okay, okay, okay..." Yun Lin nodded immediately, excited and apprehensive, thinking that a large amount of wealth would fall into his pocket immediately, he felt light and uncomfortable.

Then Li Qiu pointed to the bamboo tube containing maltose and asked, "How much honey do you have here, old man? I can give you money."

"Uh, my family didn't weigh it, so I don't know the exact amount," Yunlin immediately said awkwardly.

Nodding, Li Qiu said: "If the old man trusts me, I'll ask someone to weigh it, because the honey is too thick to pour out and weigh. Your bamboo tube is quite big, but it's dry. I'll count it for you. How about I give you an extra ounce of honey in order to prevent you from losing money?"

"Just take it and weigh it. As for the extra one or two, forget it. I can see that Mr. Li is a real person. How can I take advantage of you?" Yunlin waved his hand quickly and said.

Li Qiu nodded without saying anything, and immediately turned around and called Xiaolin at the door to weigh the 'honey', and then said to Yunlin: "The old man has won the award, to be honest, this restaurant is just a restaurant for the younger generation." It’s just a property, and there are other properties in the town, and I have always paid attention to honest management, so I will abide by my heart and dare not be careless in any business.”

After hearing this, Yunlin was stunned, and after searching his guts, he said a decent boast. He gave a thumbs up and said, "No wonder boss, you can earn such a big family business. Just relying on honest business is enough."

While talking, Yun Lin was secretly surprised, thinking that he was so rich, no wonder he bought 'honey' with more than ten taels of silver a catty, without blinking his eyes.

Li Qiu is obviously very useful, but he said with a smile: "Doing business is not my hobby. My shops are run by juniors. I occasionally go to various shops to check the accounts. Today is just a coincidence. Elderly people, you are lucky, otherwise you will not miss this rare honey. In fact, what I like most is teaching and educating people. Whether it's doing business or teaching, I have to set a good example so as not to mislead my children."

"It turns out that you are still a teacher!" Yun Lin was in awe when he heard Li Qiu's words, and the honorary title of 'you' was on his lips again.

Obviously Li Qiu, a true scholar, is still more useful as a teacher to read than everything he has done before.

It has to be said that the influence of scholars in this world is really beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Yun Jing, who was paying attention the whole time but didn't make a sound, was suddenly stunned.

It turned out to be the case.

Case solved!
No wonder this Li Qiu treats people so kindly, it turns out that he is a scholar, and a scholar who is a teacher.

At this moment, through Li Qiu, Yunjing has a relatively clear understanding of the scholars in this world.

People usually talk about scholars, not because they can simply read and write, but probably more, because the virtue of scholars is the biggest reason why people hold them so high.

It is not necessary to have many scholars who set an example for others, just a few who are famous all over the world can raise the overall status of scholars...
