Chapter 31

When he was wary, he saw Xiao Si wandering around the shop with his eyes wide open. The way I looked at him openly and honestly made him feel helpless.

Especially when his eyes passed by the rice in the corner of the shop, he stopped moving.

Looking at Xiaosi's slightly raised lips, it seemed as if she was telling him:
He Xiaosi has an idea about these rice.

In front of him, he clearly counted the amount of rice in the shop.

He sighed secretly in his guarded heart, but he couldn't tell who had plotted this.

Jian Zhizhi said that he had plenty of food, but he didn't know whether it was true or not.

However, thinking of Jian Zhizhi's explanation, Jiexin put away all his thoughts and nodded to Xiaosi:

"It's twenty cents a pound."

That's what Jian Zhizhi said, and he wasn't lying.

After thinking about it for a while, he warned again:

"According to my senior brother, other shops have already raised the price to thirty cents. These twenty cents per pound are considered cheap. Do you want to buy some and keep them?"

Xiao Si smiled at Jie Xin, "I heard that there are more and more refugees outside Huguo Temple. Is it true or not?"

Wary: "There are indeed more refugees gathering outside the temple than before."

They seemed to have heard the news and rushed over.

Xiaosi was surprised: "It's true, then I should buy more rice and put it away in case of accidents.

To tell you the truth, I have a large family, and I am particularly worried about not having enough rice at home.

Thanks for the tip, little master. I'll go back and get the money. "

After Xiaosi finished speaking, he ran away.

Jing Xin looked at his back and opened his mouth, but in the blink of an eye, Xiao Si disappeared. Jing Xin shook his head helplessly.

As a result, not long after, he saw Xiaosi leading four people over.

Seeing Xiaosi come back, surprise flashed through his wary eyes.

This speed is too fast.

Jie Xin looked at Xiaosi and the people behind him, "This is..."

Buy some rice and store it back home. Do you need to bring so many people with you?

When Xiaosi saw that Jian Zhizhi was still not there, her heart soared with joy.

There was only one monk here right now. If he said a few words and found someone to stop him, he might be able to get two more bags back.

Xiao Si looked at Jie Xin happily and changed the topic without hesitation:

"This is the brother who came to help me get food. Shopkeeper Jian is not here. Can you make the decision, young master?"

Jian Zhizhi heard Xiaosi's words when he came out of the backyard, and directly answered:
"Are you here to buy rice?"

Little Four:  …

The joy on Xiaosi's face faded a little, and then he turned to look at Jian Zhizhi.

Xiao Si: "Exactly, I heard that the grain you have here is only twenty cents per catty, so I want to buy more grain and keep it, just in case.

I'm afraid you also know that other shops have already raised the price to [-] cents!
Thirty cents is only a pound, this lady is scary. "

Jian Zhizhi glanced meaningfully and said, "I brought four people here. You want to buy a lot of rice."

Xiaosi laughed along with him, "It's indeed a bit much, otherwise I wouldn't have called someone over. I wonder if the shopkeeper can give me a discount since I'm planning to buy more?"

Jian Zhizhi shook his head decisively, "It's because you came quickly. I was ready to raise the price by another five cents."

She also wanted a discount, but she didn’t raise the price because it was a good start.

When Xiao Si heard this, he waved his hands quickly and said:
"Then it's still twenty cents per catty. I want ten bags!"

Hearing this, Jie Xin shrank aside and lowered his eyes, secretly reciting the Buddha's name.

Jian Zhizhi also pretended to be surprised, "These ten bags are quite a lot, a full seven hundred kilograms. You guys eat so much?!"

Xiao Si: "That's all."

As if afraid that Jian Zhizhi would be suspicious, Xiaosi added: "People in our family have quite big appetites."

Jian Zhizhi:......

I'm afraid it's not because of the large appetite, but because there are so many people.Jian Zhizhi believed him and nodded:

"Okay then, ten bags, seven hundred catties, fourteen thousand coins, that is..."

14 two?
One thousand taels is indeed 14 taels.

The expression on Jian Zhizhi's face disappeared.

She suddenly missed the shopkeeper who priced rice at one pound per pound last time.

If it was one tael of silver per pound, she would probably make a lot of money this time!
Hey, it’s a small business.

One tael of silver is indeed a bit outrageous, and these people probably won’t take the bait.

Jian Zhizhi explained: "When you go back, don't tell people that you bought it for 25 cents per catty. I'm going to mention it for [-] cents per catty."

Price must be raised!

Xiaosi smiled at Jian Zhizhi, "Don't worry, I promise I won't tell."

It would be weird if you can’t speak!
Jian Zhizhi and Xiaosi were thinking at the same time.

After sending Xiao Si and others away, Jian Zhizhi weighed the money in his hand and turned to look at Jie Xin.

"Little master, did you hear everything I just said?"

Wary: "...I heard it."

Jian Zhizhi nodded: "Then you keep it first, and I'll go and get busy later."

Watching Jian Zhizhi enter the backyard with an increasingly complicated expression, he sighed thoughtfully.

Originally, Jian Zhizhi thought that more than 2000 kilograms of rice was quite a lot, but the first person who came to see him asked for ten bags without hesitation, and suddenly felt that the amount was a bit small.

And adding up the front and back, there are only 47 bags.

Two more, and all the rice in her shop will be removed.

It was a bit troublesome to collect the rice, so Jian Zhizhi decided to dig potatoes and sweet potatoes, which have high yields.

It’s not necessary to eat rice. These potatoes and sweet potatoes can also fill your stomach.

When it was her turn to do something, Jian Zhizhi particularly missed the days when someone helped her, even though it was only for one day.

Jian Zhizhi murmured: "Why can't I hire someone? Did I choose the wrong person?"

She has only tried it on Jie Xin and has not tried it on anyone else.

Therefore, Jian Zhizhi is not particularly sure whether the backyard does not want to have an employment relationship.

Find an opportunity and try it with someone else.

If you really can't hire anyone else.

Suddenly, Jian Zhizhi heard an urgent shout:
"Shopkeeper Jian, shopkeeper Jian, are you in there?"

It's wariness.

Jian Zhizhi got up and went out, and saw a lot of people standing in the shop.

These include Jie Xin, Jie Yu, and two other unknown monks.

However, the four of them were surrounded and embarrassed at this moment.

I saw that the wary brothers were carrying two bags of rice easily. These people must have practiced.
It was a bit surprising to be surrounded and pushed around by a group of ordinary people.

But after thinking about it, Jian Zhizhi felt that they just didn't want to fight with ordinary people.

With just such skill, Jian Zhizhi saw someone rushing towards the corner where she piled rice.

Jian Zhizhi's face darkened, he raised his hoe and rushed towards the man.

Good guy, she doesn't have much rice to begin with, and these people still want to attack her food!
After scaring the person away with a hoe, he asked dissatisfiedly:
"What are you doing?"

Come here to play tricks on her?

Then she won't be polite.

"Sister, they want to steal your food."

Little guy Zhou Kun appeared out of nowhere and complained abruptly.
