Chapter 91 This is the end

On this day, people who met Bai Duojin habitually said nice things and begged.

This is a huge caravan, with so many horse-drawn carriages and wagons. Selling some food and other items can make their life much easier on the road where there are no villages or shops nearby.

"Okay, the world is not easy for everyone these days."

Bai Duojin suddenly gave in, and the person who was begging was stunned at first, then overjoyed.

Some people were happy and asked worriedly: "Well, how much is the price?"

Yesterday, a merchant caravan raised the price of grain to 27 cents per pound. This price made everyone gasp and feel uneasy at the same time.

If this continues, I won’t be able to survive even if I escape to the capital.

Although the Baijiabao caravan has softened its offer now, the price of grain is probably at least twenty cents per pound, right?
Bai Duojin said without thinking: "Of course it's still fifteen cents a pound."

It's not that he doesn't know the current selling price of other caravans, but since the aunt said it was still the previous price, he'll just do it as a good deed.

My aunt said that there are more and more people fleeing on the road. If people are starving, the caravans carrying a lot of supplies will be the first to suffer.

In the past two days, several small caravans have gathered together to travel together. When keeping watch at night, a lot more people have been arranged for fear of accidents.

Because every time Taohua Village took a break, people like Bai Shanquan who were strong would either carry stones, sharpen knives, or pull up big trees on the roadside, or shoot with bows and crossbows for fun.

In this way, anyone who wants to attack the Taohua Village convoy will have to consider whether they can do it.

"Thank you, Steward Bai."

"Manager Bai, you are such a kind person."

"Yes, Manager Bai, you are such a good person, you will definitely be blessed, you will be blessed as much as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains..."

Bai Duojin waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with me, this is all our aunt's idea."

"Our aunt said that it's not easy for everyone now. There's only so much our caravan can do, so we'll help however we can."

Although no one knew who the aunt Bai Duojin was talking about, this decision made everyone extremely grateful to this old lady whom they had never met.

“Thank you, old man…”

"Yes, thank you old man. I hope you will be blessed with good fortune and live as long as the Southern Mountains..." These people expressed their gratitude and asked Bai Duojin to help convey it.

"Our aunt is naturally the best." Bai Duojin's eyes were filled with unconcealable respect.

He thought to himself, our aunt is not an old lady, she is a little old lady, she is only five years old this year.

Taohua Village sold grain again, still at the previous price, which instantly attracted a lot of attention.

Those who had not planned to buy grain before became panicked after the price increase in the past three or four days. When they heard the grain prices in Baijiabao, they rushed over without saying a word.

For a while, more and more people gathered in front of the makeshift grain stall in Taohua Village.

"Same old, you have to queue up, don't push, queue up, we'll start selling once you're in line."

"..."

"You, you come out here. We won't sell you any of our caravan's food."

"And you, go too, you don't have to wait in line."

Those who came slowly were puzzled when they found that someone was occasionally pulled out of the team.

The person who was pulled out felt a pang in his heart, but he stiffened his neck and shouted in protest.

"Why don't you sell it to us? It's not like we won't pay."

"That's right, you caravan can't do this!"

"What did we do wrong? Why did they sell it to them and not to us?"

"..."

Bai Duojin came over after hearing the noise, and after seeing the people, he sneered: "Stop shouting, it's useless to shout louder, we won't sell the food to you." "Why? We..."

"Why?" Bai Duojin interrupted these people's speech. At this moment, he imitated Bai Tao's speech to the villagers, with his hands on his hips.

"Why do you say that? Because the grain is ours, and we can sell it to whoever we want."

"Based on the trouble you caused before."

Soon someone recognized that the people who were caught were those who had previously bought food from the Baijiabao caravan and then wanted to withdraw.

"Anyway, you don't care about our food, so why? Ha, why don't you know it yourself?"

Bai Duojin said, sweeping his eyes over the people in line, and warned loudly: "This is the grain we sell. If you think it's not good, then don't queue up, or else you'll try to return the grain."

"We're busy!"

The people in the queue, whether they knew about what had happened before or not, all echoed it.

"Manager Bai, don't worry, we are definitely not the ungrateful people."

"Yes, we are not heartless people."

"Butler Bai did the right thing."

There were already a lot of people, and seeing that there was not much food on display in Baijiabao, they were all afraid that they would not be able to buy food, and they wished there were fewer people.

Those who were singled out wanted to throw tantrums and make trouble, but they were immediately pushed and driven away by the people in the queue.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't delay us from buying food."

Some impatient people raised their fists and said, "Are you going to leave or not? If you don't leave, we will beat you up."

They were all afraid that these people would refuse to leave and upset the Baijiabao caravan, who would then refuse to sell them grain.

These people never thought that the Baijiabao caravan could actually do this, but they had no choice but to accept it.

Some people shrunk their necks, covered their faces, and waited in line thinking they might not be recognized and could get away with it.

When they finally got to him, before he could pay, Bai Duojin glanced at him and said, "Go away. There's no food for you."

"No, manager, I didn't do anything..." The man tried to argue, after all, he had been waiting in line for so long.

Bai Duojin waved his hand, with an expression that said, "You know whether you did it or not."

"I can recognize every one of you troublemakers even if they turned into ashes."

After that, he shouted, "Next!"

Some people were unwilling to wait in line for so long without getting anything, so they stood aside and refused to leave. However, those who were selling grain continued to sell grain, and those who were buying grain continued to buy grain, and no one paid any attention to them.

After a while, everyone who came forward to buy food would look at him a few times, their eyes full of disgust. The man couldn't stand it anymore and left in shame.

Some people, after being rejected, become unwilling to accept the rejection and think to themselves, “Okay, you look down on me, right?”

If you don't sell it to me, no one else will buy it.

He took two big strides forward, wanting to overturn the stall so that he could take advantage of the chaos to steal some rice and inflict some losses on the Baijiabao caravan.

But just as he took a step forward, he was grabbed by a quick-eyed and swift villager from Taohua Village who was maintaining order nearby.

Want to cause trouble?!

joke!

Our aunt gave us great skills. If you ruin our business at this speed, we won’t have the face to see her again.

After grabbing the man, the people from Taohua Village immediately took him aside and beat him up without saying a word.

This also serves as a reminder to other people present that they should buy food carefully and not have any bad intentions, otherwise this will be the outcome.
