Cute little peasant girl: Love me through the family group!

chapter 93

White hero?
Bai Zhiqing raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that he still had this name. He nodded and smiled at everyone, and asked, "I'm here to pay the debt, who should I call?"

Ghost-faced Zhang Wan never thought that Bai Zhiqing was here to pay off the debt. He thought that in just a few days, Bai Zhiqing had made enough money?

No matter if it's enough or not, the flattery has to be filmed first. The evil couple, Bai Daxia and Mrs. Bai, are not something he can afford to offend.

The ghost face said with a waist, "As expected of a white hero, he has made enough money in a short period of time. I admire it, admire it!"

Bai Zhiqing glanced at him lightly with a smile. He didn't expect this kid to be able to stretch and shrink. Compared with his aggressive appearance when he came to Baijiacun, he was completely different. It's just that this flattering skill still needs to be improved, and it can't be real. Sounds annoying.

He asked aloud again: "I'm here to pay the debt, who should I call?"

The strong desire to survive made Ghost Mian Zhang realize that Bai Zhiqing was a little unhappy, and immediately said, "Master Bai, I'll take you to the shopkeeper, and just find him to pay off the debt."

Bai Zhiqing nodded in satisfaction and entered the casino under the guidance of Ghost Mianzhang.

The shopkeeper of the casino is checking the cash in the cashier with the cashier, which must be reconciled with the account when the store was closed last night.

Ghost Mian Zhang did not dare to enter the account room, so he stopped when he led people to the entrance of the account room, and said in a low voice, "Master Bai, the shopkeeper is inside."

The shopkeeper tipped his ears and heard the noise coming from the door. He turned his head impatiently to look. Because of the backlight at the door, he could vaguely identify the group of ghost-faced Zhang standing at the door, and there seemed to be an unfamiliar figure among them. , frowned unhappily.

The shopkeeper wondered why Ghost Mianzhang was getting more and more ignorant. During the accounting period, outsiders were not allowed to enter at will, and he shouted at the door in dissatisfaction: "What are you doing at the door! There is a tent here, quickly take people out."

Bai Zhiqing chuckled lightly and said loudly, "Treasurer, I'm here to repay the debt."

The shopkeeper of the casino felt that this voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it. He took two steps forward and finally saw Bai Zhiqing's face clearly, and he shouted in shock, "Bai Yaolang! What is it? you?!"

Bai Zhiqing hadn't heard the name Bai Yaolang for some time. He raised his right eyebrow and said with a smile: "Treasurer, I have changed my name to Bai Zhiqing. But don't worry, even if I change my name, this debt will still be repaid. Yes, I came here specially to repay the debt today."

Hearing that Bai Zhiqing was here to repay the debt, the shopkeeper rolled his eyes, but he believed it.

As the shopkeeper of the casino, he is in charge of a group of local ruffians, and he has ample sources of information. He knows that Bai Zhiqing has shot a lot of prey and sold it to the restaurant recently. He should have made some money, but the money may not be enough to pay off the debt.

The shopkeeper took the abacus aside and said, "Okay, wait a moment, and I'll figure it out with you."

Bai Zhiqing frowned lightly, not understanding what the shopkeeper of the gambling shop meant, wasn't it 26 taels?Still need to count?

I saw that the fingers of the shopkeeper of the gambling shop fiddled with the abacus a few times quickly, and he came up with a number, saying: "With the principal and interest, you need to pay back 28 taels and six hundred cash."

ha?
Hearing this number that was different from what he knew, Bai Zhiqing almost couldn't maintain the business-like smile on his face, why was there more than two taels?Isn't it 26 taels?
"Shopkeeper, did you miscalculate? The IOU is clearly written. I borrowed 20 taels, out of nine out of 26, I should pay back 28 taels. How could it be more than [-] taels?"

The shopkeeper of the gambling shop showed a sinister smile, and said: "It is clearly written on the IOU. Nine times out of thirteen, it is monthly interest. If you fail to repay the loan in time, you will be paid with interest. You borrowed money on the third day of the twelfth lunar month last year. The second day of the first month happens to be January, and now it is the twelfth day of the first month, ten days overdue, the ten days will be based on the principal of 26 taels to calculate thirteen interest, the principal and interest are exactly 28 taels and six hundred cash."

What the casinos play is usury, in order to make profits, and many gamblers owe only a small amount of money, but they roll more and more, and finally roll into bankruptcy.

Bai Zhiqing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Show me the IOU."

It was written clearly on the IOU, and the shopkeeper of the casino was not afraid of confronting Bai Zhiqing face to face, and signaled the accountant to take the IOU signed by Bai Yaolang.

After finding the IOU, the shopkeeper didn't hand it over to Bai Zhiqing, but grabbed it in his hand and held it up for him to see.

Bai Zhiqing carefully checked the original owner's drawing and fingerprints on the paper, and confirmed that it was the same IOU he had seen on Ghost Mianzhang's hand and the court in his memory, and he had not been manipulated.

Only then did I start to read the contents of the IOU carefully, hehe, as the shopkeeper of the casino said, the IOU clearly stated that it was a monthly profit.

Looking at the words and sentences of this IOU, Bai Zhiqing knew that it was a standard text commonly used by casinos.

Even if you go to the yamen to file a lawsuit, with this IOU, you will definitely win the casino.

That's all, whoever told him to occupy the original owner's body, he can only admit that the original owner dug the hole.

It's just... plus the 12 taels of silver he got from selling the roe deer today, the sum of all the money in Bai Zhiqing's hands is less than 27 taels, which is not enough to pay off the debt.

Bai Zhiqing raised his hand and touched the basket behind him. Fortunately, there was a fox fur inside, which should be able to sell for a lot of money.It seemed he had to sell the fox fur to pay off the debt.

After reading the IOU, Bai Zhiqing said casually, "I'll come back in a while." Then he turned and left gracefully.

The shopkeeper of the gambling shop chuckled, thinking that Bai Zhiqing probably only collected 26 taels, said that he would come back later, but he just wanted to lose face and slap his face swollen to pretend to be fat.If you can't pay off your debt now, will you be able to pay it off after a while?

If you can't afford it today, you'll have to pay more tomorrow!
Bai Zhiqing left the Golden House Casino and walked to the Lin's House opposite.

He had seen ready-to-wear furs for sale in the shop at Lin's Cloth House before, and guessed that Manager Lin would collect furs.

Sure enough, shopkeeper Lin said after looking at the fox skin: "Brother Bai is amazing! I didn't expect you to be able to beat a fox. This thing is clever, so it's not easy to beat. But... your fox's coat color is messy, hairy The quality is dry, not a good product, and it cannot be sold at a good price. I can only charge 12 taels at most."

Bai Zhiqing knew that Manager Lin was a sincere person, but the price was lower than he expected.

Shopkeeper Lin saw that Bai Zhiqing didn't understand the market, so he explained: "You know that a fox fur cloak needs at least twenty pieces of fox fur to be made, and a fox fur cloak of average color can be sold for five or six hundred taels, which is still the price of a finished garment. Besides, the quality of your fox fur is not good enough, it can’t be used as a cloak, but can only be used as a fur lining, so it’s only worth the price.”

Bai Zhiqing nodded, "Little brother understands, thank you Brother Lin for accepting it at a high price." He understood that the shopkeeper Lin paid a reasonable price, and if he sold this fox fur to other people, he might not even be able to sell it for 12 taels.
