Chapter 93 As expected, trouble is coming
Some people therefore began to secretly pay attention to the people in the team, and they also wanted to make contributions like Zhou Yang.
The more I looked, the more I felt that except for myself and the people I knew, everyone seemed to be at odds with the Baijiabao caravan.
This is a bit like it.
Hey, this person always sticks his head out and looks ahead. Is he trying to do something bad too?
That person seemed a little guilty.
As a result, those who were already feeling guilty had no time to wait in line and immediately found excuses to slip away.
The people in the team knew that there was something fishy about these people who slipped away, but since they were not going for the stall, it was difficult for them to catch them.
Of course, more people are afraid that these people will hold a grudge against them and cause trouble for them, so they choose to remain silent.
In this way, those who had previously been at odds with the Baijiabao caravan were eliminated effortlessly.
I originally wanted to sell out the 237 kilograms that I returned last time, but there were too many people queuing up to buy food.
But it just so happened that the mall had some expiring goods for sale, rice at a 1.5% discount, so Bai Tao bought 200,000 kilograms of it, spending 150,000 coins.
There is a famine here, who cares whether the rice you buy tastes the best?
We also placed an order for 300,000 kilograms of brown rice at a 30% discount. It’s not that we don’t want to buy more, but the quantity of discounted products near their expiration dates is limited.
In ancient times, most of the food was corn, also known as millet.
Rice and brown rice were extremely rare at that time. In order to avoid attracting attention, Bai Tao asked the people in Taohua Village to mix the two kinds of rice together and sell them.
Although it is still conspicuous, each person only eats three pounds, and it can be eaten up in three to five days.
Even so, they only took out 5,000 kilograms. If it was more, other grain-transporting caravans would have objections.
Fifteen cents per pound, if exchanged with mall coins, one pound of white peaches can earn seven cents.
Although it is not much, the profit from the difference is already very good.
At the beginning, everyone was not used to food other than corn, but after all, the taste was there, and they were about to run out of food and starve, so who cared about whether they were used to it or not.
After eating two or three meals, I began to taste the goodness of Baijiabao's food.
In the next few days, people came one after another to buy food, including ordinary people, low-key wealthy people, and some caravans also came to the door.
The caravan we found had only one intention: if you have any grain to sell to us, we will buy it at twenty cents per pound. As for how much we sell it for later, that is our business.
Bai Dashan refused with a smile: "I'm really sorry, sorry, we didn't buy much food this time, and now we have sold most of it. Right now, it's barely enough for our caravan to eat."
"If this continues when we get to the capital, we'll have to buy some food from you guys."
"When the time comes, I hope you can help me."
Bai Dashan himself had never imagined that he, a farmer working hard in the fields, would one day be able to speak such elegant words.
But what my aunt said is right. When dealing with people, sometimes you just have to pretend.
If you pretend well, others won't know your depth and will be a little wary of you.
There are more than 200 people in Taohua Village, and the others also saw it.
In the past few days, the Baijiabao caravan has sold at least 10,000 kilograms of grain. It is still unknown what the situation will be like in the future, so some caravans can understand Bai Dashan’s refusal.
But some caravans felt unhappy, thinking that the Baijiabao caravan was being ungrateful. There were so many carts with loads, and if there wasn't much food, could the Baijiabao caravan sell it?
Are we so stupid that we don’t want to get rich ourselves and therefore we don’t want to let others get rich? !
If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people in Taohua Village and they had earned enough love by selling grain at low prices in the past few days, I'm afraid they would have taken action. That day, when night fell, Zhou Yang looked around and quietly approached the camp of Taohua Village.
"Who?"
"It's me, Old Zhou. Hello, brother. It's Manager Bai who knows me." Zhou Yang's heart tightened, but he still turned around and left without being scared.
The person on duty today happened to be Bai Tiezhu. As soon as he saw him, he immediately remembered him and his expression eased a lot: "Hey, head of the Zhou family, it's so late, what can I do for you?"
"No, no, just call me Lao Zhou. I have something to discuss with Manager Bai."
After he finished speaking, he added: "But it's the same as what you said, little brother."
When Bai Tiezhu heard this, he didn't call anyone to find Bai Duojin.
"In the evening, I took my son to collect firewood and overheard some words..." Zhou Yang repeated what he heard.
After hearing the last part, Bai Tiezhu's face darkened, but soon, he smiled and said, "Okay, I know about this. I'll tell the manager right away. Thank you, Boss Zhou."
"No, you're welcome. You're welcome. I should thank you for selling me food." Zhou Yang waved his hand and quickly turned and left.
His mother is old and has always had a poor appetite.
Along the way, she couldn't even eat the two kilograms of corn that her family was reluctant to eat. This made the Zhou family extremely frightened. Since she couldn't even eat, it was obvious that she didn't have much time left.
At this time, we bought some food from the Baijiabao caravan. My mother was actually willing to eat it. After eating it for two or three days, her complexion had obviously improved a lot, and she could even walk a few steps holding her granddaughter's hand.
When the Zhou family saw it, they were overjoyed.
Not to mention it was only fifteen cents a pound, even if it was thirty cents a pound, the whole family would spend all their money to buy it.
When other caravans were raising the price of grain, Baijiabao did not. Zhou Yang was such a conscientious caravan, so when he heard that other caravans were planning to plot against him, he could not sit still and immediately revealed the news.
In fact, even if Zhou Yang didn't come, Taohua Village wouldn't necessarily suffer any loss.
In the past few days, Bai Tao has been buying some medicinal pills from the cultivation world, dissolving them into liquids and distributing them to the villagers.
Now, more than half of the people in Taohua Village can easily fight ten people at once.
There is no need to mention the Power Pill and Speed Pill, as for the Vajra Pill, its main feature is to create an indestructible body of golden light.
Of course, without practicing, the villagers who took the elixir could only achieve one tenth of the effect, but they could already catch a blade with their bare hands.
When testing the effect of the King Kong Pills, the villagers were shocked and joked: "When we get to the capital, we can perform on the streets and earn some money to support our families."
Bai Tiezhu quickly reported the matter to Bai Tao.
Along the way, the villagers have become accustomed to asking Bai Tao for decisions on all matters, big or small.
Although my aunt is young, she is knowledgeable and knows more than everyone else. It’s always a good idea to ask more and listen more.
Bai Tao sighed softly. She knew there would be trouble since she started the 800-hour survival mission four days ago.
Sure enough, trouble may be late, but it will never be absent.
Glancing at the small line of words below the mall task, she reminded again: "Tell everyone to be careful and stay safe for the next few days..."
I will try to update earlier in the future so that my little cuties can finish reading and go to bed.
Staying up late is not good, really, every time I stay up late, I feel like I am floating...
