If there was a lot of food, he would definitely not be able to eat it by himself, so he would have to report it to his superiors and ask them to find a way to get money for him to buy food.
Maybe, because of this batch of grain, he can still gain face in front of his master, and he may not be able to be truly taken seriously in the future?
…
When Guanshi Hao came to a certain well to draw water, several people happened to be asking in front of the stall selling grain. It seemed that everyone wanted to buy grain to take home.
At the stall, there were several men dressed in black, who looked like they were filled with evil spirits.
"So much food?"
Manager Hao didn't pay much attention to the people selling food and the people wanting to buy it.
But he noticed that there was so much food piled up behind the stall, which made people want to go in and buy food.
"Yes, the manager, they really have a lot of food. I went to take a peek at it secretly. Those piled bags are full of food!"
They came to the nearest stone stall, which was also the stall where there was a "flood" yesterday.
Shitou whispered in Manager Hao's ear. He had just gone to take a look in person. In order to find out whether those bags contained grain, he risked being chased and went to see them.
Whether it contains grain or not, people like them, who deal with grain all day long, can tell by patting it with their hands.
Of course, what he said about secretly was not really that he went to see it secretly, because after he went to see it, he was discovered by others, and he was thrown out unceremoniously, and was covered in mud.
Fortunately, the soil there is very dry, and the dirt won't get on my body. The dust was removed after a few pats.
Manager Hao looked at the food and it was impossible not to be jealous. With so much food, it would be great if it were all theirs. Unfortunately, it is not yet the case.
Even if it belongs to them in the future, they will have to spend money to buy it.
"How much money does this much food cost?" He held his chin with one hand and said in a deep voice.
"Boss, why do you have to spend money? Can't we just exchange it for water?" Shitou suggested that they can exchange water for food. Isn't this what they have always done.
It makes no sense that they have to spend money to get water. How uneconomical is that?
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was hit hard on the back of the head by Manager Hao.
"You idiot, you don't understand anything."
It wasn't enough for Guanshi Hao to hit Shitou, he also gave Shitou a fierce look.
"Those people have so much food, do you think they will still be short of water? Anyone who can sell so much food at this time is not short of water!"
What water are they lacking? What they want is silver, silver!
"This... the manager is too stupid. I apologize to the manager." He didn't dare to say anything after being hit with a stone. Instead, he had to apologize.
It seems that there is great strength behind these people. They dare to sell food next to them. They obviously want to go against them.
But he didn't have the guts to say this to the supervisor.
After all, what the person in charge is thinking about right now is to get all those people’s food into his own pocket.
"Boss, what should we do now? Do we want to inquire?"
"The manager has already sent someone to investigate."
Manager Hao said this and looked at the bulging sacks again. Thinking that there would be news soon, he felt a little happier.
