"I, the Bai family, have been a distinguished family for a hundred years, and we are very good at business. You can rest assured of this."
I glanced at the sorghum they picked up, but it was only four bags.
Even if it's stretched to death, it can't exceed 400 kilograms.
Even if it is calculated as four hundred catties, it is only a matter of nine taels of silver.
Lin Jiuniang looked unhappy, "Butler Bai, what do you mean?
Stealing my customers in front of me?"
Bai Hongchang smirked, "Ms. Lin, what you said is a bit too much.
Isn’t this customer not yet confirmed to sell to you?
Anyone can fight for it, right?
Besides, the one with the highest price gets it.
Sorry, it’s funny, the money I kept in vain is just one penny more than yours.”
Seeing Lin Jiuniang's face turn red with anger, Bai Hongchang felt very proud.
Everyone says that Lin Jiuniang is very powerful, but she looks like an ordinary woman. What is so powerful about her?
The most powerful one is King Yan who supports her.
Without King Yan, she is nothing.
An ordinary woman who only knows how to use some tricks.
Lin Jiuniang narrowed her eyes dangerously and sneered:
“The highest bidder gets it?
How dare you, a servant, ask me for a price?"
"Twenty-three cents, very high?
What about twenty-five days? I dare to offer this price, do you dare?"
The smile on Bai Hongchang's face froze, twenty-five cents?
The smile on Dai Dafei's face could not be hidden no matter how hard he tried. His mouth was wide open and he looked at Lin Jiuniang with excitement:
"Ms. Lin, you, you want to pay twenty-five cents?"
"Yes," Lin Shiniang nodded.
Then start playing the sympathy card.
"Big brother, I need a batch of sorghum. You must sell it to me this time and help me.
You also know that I brought sorghum to Gyeongju and taught you how to grow it.
So, is it time to help me now?"
Dai Dafei nodded seriously, "Yes, I..."
"Wait!"
On Bai Hongchang's side, seeing that Dai Dafei was about to be persuaded by Lin Jiuniang, he quickly said:
"Brother, you must not get into trouble with money.
Now, I am publishing twenty-six articles.
Twenty-six articles!”
Dai Dafei hesitated, "Butler Bai, why not forget it.
This time I want to help Mrs. Lin, after all she has helped us Gyeongju people so much."
"Twenty-seven coins," Bai Hongchang continued to bid without hesitation, "Twenty-seven coins, two more coins.
Two more pennies is a lot of money, so you have to think clearly.
If you miss this village, there won’t be this store.”
Lin Jiuniang wanted it, but she couldn't get it.
He would never allow her to receive a grain of sorghum.
Lin Jiuniang was so angry that she was shaking, "Bai Hongchang, are you going to do something right with me?"
Bai Hongchang faked a smile:
"It's just the normal way of doing business there.
You also know that my Bai family makes sorghum wine, so naturally we harvest as much sorghum as there is."
"good very good!"
Lin Jiuniang pointed at him and sneered:
"Twenty-seven articles, right? I'll let you collect it.
Bai Hongchang, let me see how much you can charge!"
Bai Hongchang smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Of course I don't reject anyone who comes."
Then he enthusiastically took Dai Dafei to their store.
Dai Dafei is not sure:
"Butler Bai, are you really going to charge as much as you pay? It's all twenty-seven cents?"
"of course!"
Bai Hongchang reached out and patted his shoulder enthusiastically:
"Don't worry, I'll accept it all."
Just these two people, how many can there be?
not much!
"Then I'll be relieved," Dai Dafei breathed a sigh of relief and looked behind him:
"Tidy, go ahead and tell the folks to go faster and stop dragging their feet."
Dai Niyi nodded excitedly and ran behind him.
Bai Hongchang's face stiffened, folks?
He asked cautiously:
"A lot of people?"
Suddenly I felt uneasy for no reason.
"Not many," Dai Dafei shook his head, "just a dozen households.
We came together, and they walked slower."
More than a dozen households.
Dai Dafei breathed a sigh of relief.
A dozen households is not too much and can be tolerated.
Taking a look at Lin Jiuniang's face, which was so angry that she was about to go crazy, Dai Dafei felt a flash of pride in his heart.
But when everyone showed up, Bai Hongchang was so stunned that his eyes almost fell out of his head.
Are these more than ten households?
This was clearly a dozen carriages.
Lin Jiuniang almost couldn't help laughing when she saw Bai Hongchang's shocked look.
Dai Dafei saw them coming and looked at Bai Hongchang excitedly:
"Shopkeeper Bai, people from our village are here!"
Bai Hongchang's body shook a few times, and he finally forced himself to stand firm.
There was disbelief in his eyes:
"This, these are all from your village?"
How come this village’s harvest is almost the same as what he harvested in one day yesterday?
"Yes, they are all the same village." Dai Dafei nodded, "Our village only grows sorghum, didn't I tell you?"
Bai Hongchang almost couldn't breathe and fainted.
When did he say it?
Twenty-seven articles!
There are piles of sorghum for more than a dozen oxcarts!
Bai Hongchang's body was shaking, twenty-seven cents per pound!
Dai Dafei looked at Bai Hongchang with a worried look, "Butler Bai, are you okay?
Do you think they are walking too slowly?
Sorry, because their ox carts are loaded with too much, they move slowly. Please be patient."
Lin Jiuniang on the side said happily:
"Brother, don't worry, Butler Bai is too excited.
Butler Bai, hold on tight.
Don't be too excited, as it can easily lead to death from cerebral hemorrhage.
But yes, I was excited to see so much sorghum.
It’s normal for you to be excited, but you should take it easy.”
Bai Hongchang's face turned the color of pig liver.
He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
The strangest thing is, why is there so much sorghum in Gyeongju City?
Dai Dafei's eyes were strange, "Butler Bai, didn't you say you want as much as you want?"
You, you don’t want it?”
Lin Jiuniang smiled.
Taking a step forward, "Shopkeeper Bai, are you sure you don't want it?"
Then he rubbed his hands together with a look of anticipation:
"If you don't want it, then I won't be polite.
Big brother, I want all twenty-five cents."
Bai Hongchang also came to his senses at this time, his eyes flashed and he was unsure of his decision.
Dai Dafei was disappointed.
Shaking his head, "Butler Bai, you just said it nicely.
Sure enough, Madam Lin is still trustworthy at the critical moment, Madam Lin..."
Just when Dai Dafei called Lin Jiuniang, Bai Hongchang spoke.
"Who told you I don't want it?"
He stared at Lin Jiuniang with serious eyes and said word by word:
"Ms. Lin, you think too much.
I didn't say anything, I was just thinking about where so much sorghum was placed. You are thinking too much."
Lin Jiuniang snorted coldly, with contempt in her eyes:
"Butler Bai, it's better not to pretend to be fat as a human being.
If you can't eat it, you can't eat it. There's nothing to be ashamed of.
If you can't eat, you have to hold on, and you can't come up with money, that's a shame."
Bai Hongchang thought of the letter he received last night, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes:
"Don't worry about it.
I have no shortage of money."
After saying that, he took out a thick stack of banknotes from his arms.
Then let Dai Dafei and others unload the sorghum and weigh it.
Bai Hongchang's hands were shaking at this time.
He didn't understand what his master meant, why he wanted to prevent Lin Jiuniang from getting the sorghum at all costs.
Twenty-seven cents per pound of sorghum.
What Dai Dafei and the others brought here was at least 100,000 jins.
The price is too high.
"Bai Hongchang, there is so much sorghum, if you can't eat it, give some to me." Lin Jiuniang shouted angrily:
"I need a batch of sorghum, do you hear me?
Just give me an oxcart of sorghum. It doesn't take much, just an oxcart of sorghum."
Bai Hongchang turned back:
"Don't even think about it!"
"Are you really going to do something so amazing?" Lin Jiuniang roared!
After seeing Bai Hongchang nodding, Lin Jiuniang couldn't bear it anymore and roared:
"Hmph, do you think that just like this, I won't receive any sorghum?"
Then he looked at Gu Liu with a cold look on his face:
"You can take someone with you to drive a carriage, whether it's through the streets or to various villages, and set off immediately to collect food for me.
Remember, the more sorghum, the better!”
As Gu Liu left in response, Bai Hongchang's face darkened!
Damn Lin Jiuniang, she actually pulled this trick!
