Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 171
Pedestrians on both sides of the road have been attracted by such a scene.

It was the busiest time of the market, and the crowd was crowded here. At first, they heard the quarrel at this end, and they probably knew what was going on, so they gathered around to watch the excitement. Later, they didn’t ask what was going on. , and then circle around directly outside, simply for the crowd.

These words also came in circles from inside.

The people carrying the bean curd sticks smiled and explained to those who didn’t know why they were arguing, “What’s the matter? It’s a business. He said we couldn’t hand over the bean curd sticks. Could it be his? I’m afraid he didn’t Give that money."

Bean curd sticks are not heavy and take up a lot of space. When they were sold, they were packed in the simplest bamboo baskets because they were afraid of being broken during transportation. The weight of each basket was about the same. There is a ration, but now...

"I'm not going to say that I can't hand it over."

"You know, the bean curd maker is also the rice noodle maker. They can do it. What kind of village is it called?"

The person with the bean curd sticks on his shoulders responded with air, "Dongwang Village!"

Shi Lang didn't pay attention, so many bean curd sticks gushed out all at once, but still held a trace of luck, rolled his eyeballs, and sneered, "I said, what the hell are you doing? Did you have two thousand catties of bean curd sticks at that time? You thought it would be like this With a posture, you can drag it over? It's a good idea!"

There is no need for him to worry about how many yuba there are, and now he just doesn't cry when he sees the coffin.

Ban Xia was a little anxious seeing him like this, didn't Dr. Shi already arrive in the county?I heard Mrs. Sun say that he disappeared as soon as he came in, this old and cunning old man!
If Shi Lang hadn't made some noise, he might have continued to hide.

As if he had expected him to say this a long time ago, Ban Xia stood beside Su Youli, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Su Youli's doughy face, with a smile still on his face, looked at Shi Lang and said, "From Boss Tang's point of view, is it because we don't have enough goods?"

Shi Lang nodded, "That's right, it's not enough!"

It was as impatient as if he had caught a life-saving straw.

Ban Xia smiled and said, "Whether this is enough is not something that can be seen with the eyes."

The people around saw so many bean curd sticks, and many of them had never eaten them. This stuff is precious, so how can anyone buy it and eat it if they have nothing to do? Now, looking at the brilliance of this yellow under the sun, they realize that what they said earlier cannot be handed over. The goods are this thing, and they are booing from the sidelines.

Shi Lang waved his hand, thinking that he had stepped on their sore feet, "If you have the ability, then weigh it! Find someone to come!"

Su Youli pursed his lips and remained silent.

Ban Xia showed a hint of guilt on his face, and shook Su Youli's arm, "Father, what should I do?"

Then he turned his head and said to Shi Lang, "Otherwise, it's just a guess."

Shi Lang couldn't see it in his eyes, and said, "Little girl, if you are doing business, you will accept it without weighing it? What a joke!"

The scales were quickly moved over. First of all, the scales were naturally on the carriage. The scales in this era are all small scales, and many of them can only weigh [-] catties. The ability is to be able to earn a living.

Almost all the scales found are small scales of this kind.

Shi Lang still refused to budge, "Give me the scale!"

The words were addressed to Su Youli.

Ban Xia raised her eyebrows and reminded, "Boss Tang, isn't this clearly written in the deed? We deliver at noon, and we can no longer deliver at Shenshi. Now our goods are here, eight thousand catties, you have to hurry up It's not our business to have a little scale, or it won't be able to be put in the warehouse by then."

"Scale! One or two less won't make it, eight thousand catties! You're bluffing!"

Originally, Shi Lang didn't have any preparations, but the scale came out of nowhere. After the scale was finished, there was no place to put it. The vacated room was dirty, and those gangsters might be good at making trouble and fighting. Let them do such a thing. It was a flurry, and it took half an hour to put the things in front of me.

There was still a whole long dragon behind him.

"How much?"

The bean curd sticks in the two carriages were weighed and carried in, Ban Xia suddenly asked.

Those people were dumbfounded.

He hesitated and said, "How much?"

"It's not me who counts, how would I know!"

The veins on Shi Lang's forehead kept twitching, and he yelled, "If you don't understand, go find an accountant!"

I don't know where, I grabbed a Mr. Accountant, holding an abacus in his arms, well, I have to start the scale again.

Shi Lang was a little anxious.

Seeing those people busy walking around, Zhang Liu laughed happily. The rice noodles or mung bean soup that were weighed here were brought down from the carriage, and those who carried the burden behind them took turns to drink.

Comparing the two, Shi Lang was already sweating profusely.

Two thousand catties is more than enough.

Such scattered bean curd sticks will fill up the warehouse in one go.

Shi Lang couldn't help it, so he waved his hand and said to Su Youli and his party, "This place is full, change to another warehouse!"

Seeing that they didn't move, he didn't speak as arrogantly as before, "Why, don't you want to move?"

Banxia and the others held mung bean soup in their hands, drank it with gusto, didn't speak, and simply pointed to the paper in Shi Lang's hand.

That's Qi, he set the time and place himself, and he himself said one or two things must be missed!Look now, lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot.

Shi Lang shook his hand, seeing the words on it, it was indeed here, he gritted his teeth angrily, "Okay, very good!"

Instructing people who don’t understand Dongwang Village can only order those around them, “Pick it to the other side of Dongbian Street!”

He was so insolent, the faces of those few people were ruthless, but seeing the people on Banxia's side eating, drinking, talking and laughing, it looked even more useless in comparison.

Some people refused to do it, and threw the scales on their hands, "Your surname Tang, that's not what you said when you asked our brothers to come, but it was just to make a big impact. This is to treat us as porters. ? Give the money quickly! I don’t want to do this job anymore!”

Temporarily quitting, Shi Lang bit his lip, and just about to say something, saw the other party's fist and greeted him.

How dare you keep them, give money, and send these people away.

There are still a few left around, but I don't have the time to pick the yuba to another place.

The scale is too late.

Shi Lang was cruel, pointing to the bluestone slab under his feet, "Just put the bean curd sticks here! We'll transport them over later."

The person who was working felt relieved, and the yuba in his hand was about to fall, but was caught by a pair of hands.

"No." Ban Xia said.

Shi Lang felt a surge of anger running around in his heart, and finally couldn't help gushing out, "This is no good, that's no good, what does my stuff have to do with you?!"

At this time, I was in a hurry, afraid that it was already too late, Ban Xia didn't even lift her eyelids, "You said you paid the money and delivered the goods. The goods are all here, and they are more than two thousand catties. Who told you to invite so few people? If the delivery cannot be completed by the application time, but because of your procrastination, this is also a violation of the contract, three times the money, do you know if you are ready?"

three times? !

Mr. Accountant’s abacus fell to the ground, Banxia picked it up, flipped it a few times, and finally calculated the amount with his mouth, “It’s three times, not much, it’s two thousand five hundred and four taels of silver , if you can’t come up with the money, won’t the bean curd stick be returned? And who is the guarantor? I’m afraid the deed of the house is not yours anymore, hey, when will it be returned?”

Ban Xia said seriously.

Some people applauded in the circle.

"Look at how crazy he is! He said that he is still a grandchildren. He is so wicked. He thinks that everyone here is easy to bully or something!"

"It's just that, we can't even eat tofu recently, what a disaster!"

Shi Lang wanted to refute, but when he saw Banxia staring at Qi, his hands suddenly trembled, yes, he wrote these all by himself, but isn't it foolproof?Even in the city, people greeted her well, where did she go to get the bean curd sticks!
Shi Lang is not usually thick-skinned, Shi Lang chuckled, "How can it be, the 800 taels can still be paid for, just pay with one hand and deliver with the other, I think it's my business to put it there, I guess heap."

Afraid that Ban Xia's side would really get serious, he changed his method. He was not afraid of not being able to find someone to estimate the heap. After weighing so much, he could tell at a glance that nine out of ten, even if he suffered a loss A little bit is nothing, the bean curd sticks are worth money when shipped out, at least they won't lose money.

Ruyi's plan was crackling, but Ban Xia didn't agree at all.

"That's not good. Who said just now that one or two can't be missing. We deliberately shipped more, because we were afraid that it would not be enough. You haven't even prepared warehouses, people, and money. This is because you deliberately want us to pay No delivery?"

Shi Lang salivated again, and muttered, "It's... business, it's all like this, it's almost enough, it's easy to talk about it."

"Easy to say? Who can tell you that the prison food is delicious and you can eat it. We really can't get soybeans after looking at it? We are in this business, can we not be more prepared? At that time, it was said that the delivery will be divided into several batches. , The first batch will be given two thousand catties first, and the money will be settled first, who would not want to come? I just insisted on handing over together at that time, I thought Boss Tang had made a perfect plan, why?"

Zhang Liu folded his arms, "Or else, I can't finish weighing..."

"More than two thousand five hundred taels of silver, my dear!"

"There is still time." A hoarse voice said.

After speaking, pass the scale in.

This kind of scale can weigh 270 catties at a time, and the person who brought the scale was hunched over.

After delivery, we have to squeeze out the crowd.

But it almost bumped into Ban Xia's body, and still didn't carry it away, "Little girl, give way."

"It's okay to leave after doing such a good thing."

Mrs. Sun squeezed in and tore off the hat on her head.

The man was caught off guard and fell towards Shi Lang.

Shi Lang quickly hid to the side, and the man rolled on the ground, looked at that face, and yelled in horror, "Father!"

"Boss Shi, why are you doing this?"
