Escape after crossing

“Dad, I’m not talking nonsense, think about it, if we don’t ask clearly, there won’t be so much work when the time comes.

The shopkeeper gave us so much food, how bad is that? Even if the shopkeeper is kind, we can't just take advantage of him, right?

Therefore, we should ask clearly, so that when we pick up the food, we won’t have to feel guilty.

The world is not easy for anyone these days. It is not easy for the shopkeeper to get food from other places. We cannot let the shopkeeper suffer any loss. What do you think, shopkeeper?"

Jiang Ziluo had a bright smile on her face, and a sly look in her eyes. She knew the truth that "one should not hit a smiling person", and she secretly thought: This grain store has been operating here for many years, so its owner must be experienced and tactful.

It is said that when the shopkeeper Bai opened this grain store, he was just a young man full of vigor and vitality. But now, 20 to 30 years have passed. As time flies, he has grown from a young man to a mature man and has become one of the most respected businessmen in this area.

The store was named after his wife at the time, Ruyi. Of course, there was another reason: Manager Bai was young at the time and did not have enough money to open a store.

It was his wife who went back to her parents' home to borrow money from them. So that's how the name of the store came about. It can be said that this shopkeeper Bai is also very affectionate.

In the beginning, the couple got up early and worked late to clean up the store and their home in order to open the grain store. However, the good times did not last long, and the store was really opened well.

He also had a son and a daughter, and was just enjoying his life when a serious illness took the life of Shopkeeper Bai's wife. Since then, Shopkeeper Bai has been taking care of the grain store while raising his two children.

After his business was good and he made money, many matchmakers started introducing blind dates to him, and some bold women even approached him.

They were all dismissed by Shopkeeper Bai. Later, when the children grew up, they were all sensible and promising. The eldest son, Bai Qinghui, was an official in another place.

His daughter Bai Qingxu married Xu Linbai, Bai Qinghui's classmate and current prefect of the city.

Putting these aside for now, Shopkeeper Bai looked at Jiang Ziluo. From what the child said just now, he felt that this child did not seem like the daughter of the honest farmer next to her.

Shopkeeper Bai smiled and said, "Girl, what's your name? How old are you?"

"Shopkeeper, my name is Jiang Ziluo, and I'm 11 years old!"

"11?" Shopkeeper Bai was just surprised. It was normal to not have enough food at this time.

Jiang Runzhi also noticed the shopkeeper's surprise, and he lowered his head in shame.

"Jiang girl, let me answer your question. There is not much cargo coming back this time. There are only two truckloads of cargo, which is only five stones."

Jiang Ziluo calculated carefully and found that five dan was equivalent to six hundred kilograms, which was still acceptable. One liter of rice was forty-five copper coins!

But he said, "Boss, you don't have much of this. Even though one liter of rice is not much, but the current price..."

Shopkeeper Bai knew what Jiang Ziluo was talking about and did not wait for her to finish.

"Girl, I know what you are going to say. I am not taking care of you. This liter of food is only a few cents in normal times.

Actually, you didn't benefit from it. It's just the way things are. There have been wars in the south, floods and droughts in the past few years.

The grain we grow in a year, after paying taxes, is not enough to feed our family. I have also been selling grain here for 20 to 30 years.

Although I am not a good person, you two came to my shop today, which is a good fate for us. You help me with work and I give you food. There is no such thing as taking advantage of others. "

Jiang Ziluo felt ashamed after hearing this. She was a mean person just now. But then she thought, shouldn't we be more careful about everything in life?

"Boss, you are so generous. You will definitely make a fortune in the future."

"Haha, you are not very big, but you have a sweet mouth. I'll lend you my good wishes." Shopkeeper Bai laughed.

Seeing the shopkeeper's happiness, Jiang Ziluo thought about going to a big restaurant to sell the house, but she had no idea about the restaurant, nor did she know what dishes were served in this dynasty.

So Jiang Ziluo started chatting with Shopkeeper Bai. Maybe because the price of grain has been rising during this period, fewer people are buying grain.

At this time, Manager Bai was not busy, so he just sat and listened to Jiang Ziluo's questions.

"Boss, when will your food come back?"

"It will probably be noon. If you have anything to do, go do it first."

"We are fine. We just want to ask the shopkeeper so that we can know the situation."

"Hahaha, okay."

"Boss, you just said you've been selling grain for 20 to 30 years. What kind of grain do you sell? Is it the grain that we ordinary people grow ourselves?"
