"Agree, agree, 4000 taels is 4000 taels."

"But I'm talking about buying grain at another house. They only pay me 200 taels for a thousand shi. After thinking about it, Boss Lu's price is too high, so I still don't want to buy it." Li Xibao said lightly.

When Lu Wancai heard this, he became anxious, "Miss Li, that's not what you said. I, Lu Wancai, are the largest grain merchant in Quangao Lake, and our products are better than others."

"I'm a businessman." Li Xibao denied it, "Anyway, affordable price is also very important."

After Li Xibao finished speaking, he continued to drink soup, and the way he held the spoon in a leisurely manner really made Lu Wancai anxious.

In the past few years, the farmers' harvests have been pretty good, so they have hoarded a lot of food, but they have not been able to sell it...

Lu Wancai gritted his teeth and said, "Well, since Ms. Li sincerely wants to buy it, I'll pay you 200 taels for a thousand shi, and 600 taels for three thousand shi. How about it?"

"Okay, deal."

Li Xibao and Lu Wancai made an agreement, and sent someone to find a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. They wrote everything clearly in black and white, and the only thing left was to pay the money and deliver the goods tomorrow.

Wait until Lu Wancai is sent away.

Li Xibao smiled slyly: "Yulian, prepare the carriage in an hour, and I have to go to Qiu's house. If the Lu family offers this price, their Qiu family will only lower it."

"Wait for Yulian, don't go." Li Fugui stopped and said, "Xi Bao, what are you doing?"

"Buy food, grandpa."

"You don't need to buy so much grain. Do you know that the grain has been grown well in the past few years, and it is worthless. Especially if you keep it for two years, it will become stale rice and stale noodles, which cannot be sold. "Li Fugui is in a hurry.

It's thousands of taels of silver, but this granddaughter still wants to buy it.

"Yes, Xi Bao, what are you buying food for?" Li Dashan couldn't help asking.

"Grandpa, dad, didn't Brother Chong say that the birds are acting abnormally, and there must be something wrong in the south, maybe it's a flood."

"What does the flood in the south of that person have to do with us?" Li Dashan was still puzzled, "It's so far away, why do we buy so much food?"

"As a spare, just in case it is needed." Li Xibao explained.

"Xiao Chong, look at Xi Bao, has she had a fever recently? I think she is talking nonsense." Li Sanhu clicked his tongue.

Xiao Chong beside him put down his chopsticks unhurriedly, "Uncle Li, I think what Xi Bao did was right."

"Why?" Li Sanhu and the others were puzzled.

"Think about it, the south is really flooded, don't the people in the south want to eat food? We can sell it to them and donate it to them. This is a good deed."

"But it's too much." Sun Cuihua shook her head, "Even if you do something, you don't need so much. Besides, who knows that people will definitely make a big fuss."

Li Chong was not in a hurry to explain, and gave Li Xibao a look, "Xibao, since this is the case, don't buy it now, there are not too few people who buy Boss Lu."

Li Xibao understood, "If you don't buy it, you don't buy it."

He said he would not buy it, but after lunch, Li Xibao quickly asked Xiao Yulian to prepare the carriage.

"Sister Xi." Xiao Yulian was a little scared, "You still have to go to Qiu's house."

"Yeah, I treat you as my own sister, you will never betray me, right?"

"I will not betray sister Xi."

"Then go quickly."

When Li Xibao arrived at Qiu's house, he easily bought another thousand stones.

Not only that, she also asked Zhou Yu to go to Wanzhou to buy some more grain for her.

In this way, after three or five days.

On this day, Song Pingting passed by the door of Li's house, so she just came in and sat down.

Sun Cuihua is Song Pingting and Yuan Huanqing's matchmaker, and she wants to inquire about her and Yuan Huanqing's affairs with her big belly.

Song Pingting frowned, "Mrs. Li, where do we have time to talk about this? Now the south is raining non-stop, and it is almost flooding. The silk we bought is flooded."

"what?"

Everyone was surprised.

"I really let Xiao Chong and Xi Bao talk." Sun Cuihua murmured, "Come here, come here, go and tell the eldest lady the news."

When Li Xibao heard about the housekeeper, Zhou Yu also talked about it in front of her.

"Miss, I really didn't expect that there really was a flood."

"Miss, are you and the young master clever and clever?"

"No, but it's all based on common sense analysis by the young master." Li Xibao could only put the credit on Li Chong.

Zhou Yu nodded in agreement, "Eldest Young Master is young, but he has an extraordinary mind."

"By the way, do you want any news to bring back from Wanzhou?"

"Oh, by the way, those Wanzhou grain merchants are buying grain everywhere, and they say they want to sell it to the south."

"Miss."

At this moment, other servants also came in.

"Boss Lu from the food store is here."

"Please."

Lu Wancai jogged in small steps, and came in with a jolt of his body.

"Yo, yo, Miss Li, we meet again."

"Yes, Boss Lu, please sit down, come here, hurry up and pour tea for Boss Lu."

"Miss Li is polite."

Lu Wancai sat down, blew on the tea in his hand, took a sip hastily, and hurriedly said: "Miss Li, are you busy now, let's talk."

Li Xibao signaled Zhou Yu and the others to go out first.

Lu Wancai saw that there was no one else, so he hurried over and said, "Miss Li, my Goddess of Wealth, our chance to make money has come."

"What's coming."

"You don't know, let me tell you, there was a flood in the south, and all the food was washed away. Many people were displaced and homeless, and they couldn't even eat. Our food was worth more than one or two stones before. Now it's three taels. It won't be long before it will be four taels, and we can double the money."

Li Xibao smiled lightly, "Boss Lu, we are being so unkind."

"Honest? How much is kindness worth? You don't know, the price is much higher than ours."

"Hehe, Miss Li, if that's the case, I'll sell you the three thousand stones, why don't you sell them to me?"

"Not for sale." Li Xibao raised his legs.

"Ham, I only charged you 600 taels at that time. In this case, I will give you 500 taels."

"Not for sale."

"Hey, 5000 taels is fine." Lu Wancai was about to get angry, "Miss Li, I'm not bragging for you, you've made a lot of money here and there. If you leave me, you may not be able to sell it. .”

"Boss Lu, don't you understand what I mean? I mean, no matter how much money you give me, I won't sell it."

"you're so dumb."

"Because I don't want to make such wicked money!" Li Xibao said righteously, "Think about it, the common people in the south can't live without food and drink. We don't want to help them, but want to make a fortune. Isn't this wicked? .”

"You..." Lu Wancai was furious at being scolded, "Okay, if you don't sell it, you are noble, you are a good thing, I want to see how you feel when these grains fall into your hands."

"Humph!"

Lu Wancai slammed the door and left.
