A guide to getting rich

Chapter 195

The dry smile on the old lady Bai's face could hardly hold back: "Tie Niu, after all, we are also a family, and the bones are still connected. In the past, it was the second aunt who was bad, but there is no way for the second aunt to live at home. Don't you know what kind of life people don't know? We have never had a lot of money, so we haven't been able to help you. Today, the second aunt came to tell you this because of helplessness. , Didn't Second Aunt never come to beg you on weekdays?"

Bai Tieniu snorted coldly: "I, Bai Tieniu, have only begged Second Aunt you twice in my life. Have you ever helped me? Forget it, I won't talk about the past, and I don't have the time to talk about it with you. In short, it is impossible to borrow rice, but you are my second aunt after all, if you are willing to pay for it, I am not incapable of accommodating it."

The old lady Bai was angry, but she couldn't express it, so whoever told her to ignore it first.

"Then how much is your rice for a stone?" Mrs. Liu asked.

"One stone?" Bai Tieniu's voice immediately increased a lot, a bit exaggerated.

"I can't afford a stone of rice. I went to the city today and bought a total of two buckets of rice. If you want it, I'll give you a bucket. The travel expenses are fine. Who told you to be my second aunt?" Woolen cloth?"

Liu's voice immediately increased, "What? Two coins for a fight? Why don't you go grab it?"

Bai Tieniu immediately lowered his face, and said angrily: "Liu Guihua, you are so capable, go to the city tomorrow to see who sells rice at the rice shop, not to mention two renminbi, just one liang of silver You can't even buy a bucket, believe it or not."

There are a large number of refugees coming from the south. Everyone knows this. When the refugees arrive, the price of rice rises. Those who have money start to stockpile food, and those who have no money quickly borrow money to stock up. The supply of rice shops is in short supply. Normal thing.

It's not that this kind of thing has never happened before, and everyone knows it well.

The old lady Bai came here to borrow rice, clearly pretending to be confused with understanding.

The old lady Bai frowned and said, "Two qian silver for a bucket of rice is too expensive. In the past, two qian silver could buy a stone of rice."

Bai Tieniu snorted coldly: "The past? Is it the past now? Come on, if you don't buy it, go away quickly. I don't have time to waste time here with you."

After Bai Tieniu finished speaking, he was about to close the door, but the old lady Bai felt overwhelmed and blurted out: "Buy, I'll buy, measure a bucket of rice for me."

On weekdays, she would never buy it, but she is so hungry right now, if she doesn't eat a meal today, she might not have the strength to get up tomorrow, and now that the price of rice has risen, she will survive the night , You may not be able to buy cheap rice tomorrow.

The corners of Bai Tie Niu's lips hooked slightly, and a smug and carefree smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, you wait." He turned around and entered the room, and came out after a while, holding a cloth bag in his hand, which contained a bucket of rice that he had just measured.

He was not in a hurry to give the rice to the old lady, he stretched out his hand and said, "Two coins, bring it here."

The old lady laughed dryly: "It's all a family, what else can I do without you? Just send it to you another day."

Bai Tieniu shook his head: "That's not allowed. I can trust others, but I can't trust you. You pay money with one hand and rice with the other. There is no negotiation."

The little trick of the old lady has been used many times in the village, and many people have suffered from her. If Bai Tieniu can still trust her, he is really stupid.
