Chapter 110 It’s settled
Seeing Bai Youcai's angry face, the people around him quickly explained in a gentle voice: "No, no, brother, how could that be possible."

"Yes, that's not what we meant."

"Yeah, little brother, don't be angry, we are all rough people and we can't talk."

"We are a poor family. We are afraid that you won't receive the goods tomorrow!"

As Bai Youcai was also a poor farmer, he could naturally understand, but understanding was one thing and being forced was another.

He sighed in his heart once again, this is probably what my aunt said, there must be something hateful about pitiful people, right? !
At this time, these people were saying nice things, so Bai Youcai didn't continue to look sullen, and said in a muffled voice: "I didn't say no, I'll continue to collect tomorrow, and the stall will open at 8 o'clock."

"This crayfish isn't easy to kill, just come earlier tomorrow."

After that, he added half a warning: "If you guys linger here and delay our closing time, we might be late for the stall tomorrow."

As soon as he said this, the people around him dared not speak anymore. They waved their hands one after another, and some even covered their mouths in fear. They were all afraid that they would anger Bai Youcai and he would not accept the crayfish they picked up tomorrow.

There were people in each shed who were trying to wheedle the people from Taohua Village, but no matter how soft or hard the tactics were, the villagers would never give in.

As a result, people waiting in the queue couldn't help but feel extremely lucky, fortunately they didn't continue picking up and came to queue early.

It’s not that no one has thought about cutting in line when the people from Taohua Village aren’t paying attention, but after taking a look, they gave up the idea.

Firstly, the guards of the Baijiabao caravan were watching closely, and they would stare at anyone who approached.

Secondly, crayfish were used to exchange for food, so even those who brought less food had to carry bamboo baskets on their backs, and those who were cut in line would not remain silent.

So, these people could only leave with the crayfish with complaints.

Before, who would bring this thing home?

But now, some people who bring crayfish home have to hide them in the house for fear that they will be stolen in the middle of the night.

Even though people were banned from queuing at four o'clock, the people in Taohua Village were busy until after seven o'clock before they closed their stalls.

It was almost nine o'clock when we returned to the inn.

Although none of the villagers complained of being tired, Bai Tao still frowned and said, "Let's close the stall an hour earlier tomorrow."

Close the stall at 2 o'clock so it won't be too late.

Otherwise, for ancient people, arriving at the inn at nine o'clock, eating, washing up, etc., was the same as staying up until midnight.

Bai Dashan shook his head: "Auntie, let's go to the same time as today."

"People who pick up crayfish to exchange for food are from ordinary families. If they close their stalls too early, they will lose one exchange..."

I don’t know how long I will stay in Qingzhou right now, so I will naturally do as much as I can.

If it weren't for my aunt's order, they would have continued to set up the stall, collected more, and my aunt would have had more to use.

Others also echoed: "Auntie, we are not tired, really."

"Auntie, you forgot, we are very strong now and in good spirits."

The villagers insisted and Bai Tao had nothing to say.

Bai Dashan also began to report on the day's stall setting up.

At the end of that day, more than 50,000 kilograms of grain were exchanged.

"More than 50,000 kilograms?" Bai Tao smiled and said, "Not bad."

At this moment, she forced herself to suppress the corners of her mouth so as not to show an inexperienced look.

The mall gave a specific number. On that day, a total of 1,132,360 kilograms of crayfish were received.

A pound of crayfish costs twelve coins, and a total of 1,358,832 coins were deposited.

The cost of more than 50,000 kilograms of food is almost a drop in the bucket compared to the income of more than 1.3 million coins.

Doing business is indeed a very profitable thing, especially doing business that no one understands, which is even more profitable. Bai Tao couldn't help but make so much money, so she smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard, I will give you guys a credit, and after this period of time, each of you will be given ten taels of silver."

"Auntie, we don't want to..."

Before she could finish her refusal, Bai Tao waved her hands and said, "What do you mean you don't want it? It's settled. I'm not Zhou Paopi. I won't get anything for nothing just by asking you to work."

"Uh……"

The villagers could only look at Bai Dashan nearby with helplessness on their faces.

Bai Dashan: "Thank you, Auntie."

The villagers also said in unison: "Thank you, Auntie~"

After Bai Tao returned to the room, the villagers didn't even bother to eat. They surrounded Bai Dashan and talked a lot.

"Village chief, what do we need the silver for?"

"Yes, what's the use of that silver?"

"I haven't spent the twenty taels of silver that my aunt gave me as a reward last time."

“Mine didn’t cost anything either.”

"It would be better to give each of us a braised pig's trotter instead of silver."

"We did this to honor our aunt, not to get money from her."

"That's right."

Bai Dashan waited until the villagers had finished talking, then he raised his hand to calm them down and said, "Can't you see that my aunt is very happy? Don't spoil her mood. Besides, as the saying goes, a gift from an elder should not be refused."

"My aunt is worried about us, and she's afraid that we won't be able to ask for money."

Bai Dashan had no idea that Bai Tao actually didn't know what to reward, so she simply gave the villagers money and told them to buy whatever they wanted first, which saved her a lot of trouble.

"But we..." My aunt provided them with food, drink, daily necessities and clothes, and the things were all so good. They really had no need for money.

Bai Dashan: "Didn't I tell you that this is a reward for everyone? No one cares whether you save or spend the money."

If other people saw this scene, they would definitely think that the people in Taohua Village had something wrong with their brains.

There is no one who can't get along with money.

But only the people in Taohua Village knew about it, and they were afraid because the aunt was so capable and powerful, and had also led people from other classes.

They can only work harder to please their aunt and keep her here.

Who knows if those who have been taken care of by my aunt are secretly trying to trick me away.

Such a young lady was kidnapped by invisible and intangible enemies, and they had no place to look for her.

"Okay, okay." Bai Dashan clapped his hands and put an end to the villagers' chattering: "It's time to get down to business."

"It seems that the crayfish disaster in Qingzhou will not end so soon. Everyone needs to work harder in the next few days."

"Remember, there must be a lot of people outside watching our Baijiabao caravan now, we can't let them take advantage of us..."

When it comes to business, the villagers immediately become serious.

"Yes, Village Chief, we all understand!"

"Village chief, don't worry. We in Taohua Village are united as one, like a rope and concrete. There is no room for outsiders to sneak in!"

My aunt said that concrete buildings are very strong!
