The next person was Liu Dapang's father, who looked just like Liu Dapang, chubby and with a round belly, standing out among the skinny villagers.

"Your family only buys brown rice!" Liu Dapang's father asked with a frown.

Gu Liang replied calmly: "Yes, how many pounds do you want?"

"You can't do that, just sell brown rice." Liu Dapang's father said in a tone like a prince entering a grocery store: "Why don't you sell some refined rice? That's what feeds people. Look at me, I have to eat refined rice to grow like this. You haven't eaten much refined rice, right? That's what Prime Minister Genmiao often eats. Do you know Prime Minister Genmiao?"

Gu Liang rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "If you don't want to buy brown rice, please go to the right, I won't send you!"

After listening to Liu Dapang's father, he put away his playful smile and said: "You kid, uncle is playing a joke on you, I'll buy it."

"How many pounds?"

Liu Dapang's father stretched out ten fingers and shouted very imposingly: "Give me ten pounds!"

"Tsk~………………"

The villagers behind Liu Dapang's father, after listening to his pretentious words for a long time, finally couldn't hold back and laughed in unison.

Especially the women who were watching, their eyes were squinting, and they all mocked:

"You only bought ten kilograms of rice, and you are so arrogant. If you don't know, you would think you bought ten kilograms of gold!"

"Ten kilograms of rice is not enough for my man to eat for a few days. I don't know what's the point of buying ten kilograms of rice. I really don't know how such a big belly grew. Did you grow up by eating northwest wind every meal?"

"You are the prime minister's seedling, but you can't even afford brown rice. You haven't even eaten refined rice!"

"I think you are a toad with a big mouth - you think you can swallow the sky! Who knows that you can't even swallow a grasshopper."

At this time, Liu Dapang's father was insulted by these women and couldn't save his face. After buying, he picked up the sack and squeezed out of the crowd.

After a farce, the scene finally returned to calm, and everyone bought in an orderly manner. Everyone knew that I sold the grain at the cost price of the Gu family this time. I didn't indulge them, but I wasn't afraid that they wouldn't buy it. So no one dared to do it again, in case they upset Gu Liang. The Jiang brothers at the door looked ferocious, and they were not easy to deal with.

"Oh, your brown rice is not good. Look at it, it's so yellow. It's only the husk, not the bran. It must be milled again to taste good, otherwise it's too rough."

The one who said this was Mrs. Li in the village, who was the one who pushed Gu Liang down and let him travel through time. But Gu Liang rarely saw her in the village, perhaps because she avoided the Gu family and rarely showed up.

Mrs. Li's voice was extremely sharp, and at the same time, it had a sarcastic tone, which instantly attracted the attention of many people. Especially those who had already bought rice, after hearing it, they hurried to check whether the brown rice they bought was like this.

But the problem is that people who buy things always feel that they are losing money. The more they look at the things they buy, the more wrong they are. The same is true for this rice. The more you look at it, the yellower it becomes. In the end, you will feel that it has not been husked at all, and it is still in the state of millet.

But before Gu Liang could say anything, Old Lady Gu started to scold him: "If you don't want to buy, don't buy. You are still picky. Go to the surrounding villages and ask who sells rice cheaper than mine. You think the rice is not good, but I am not going to sell it!

This rice was bought from Xunyang by my eldest grandson, and I sold it without making a penny. If it weren't for my grandson's kindness and thinking about the villagers in our village, I would just do it as a virtue for the children in my two daughters-in-law's belly. Who would be willing to sell this rice?

Boss, close the shop. We won't sell it anymore. Who is willing to sell it to you at a cheaper price? Go find someone!"

After hearing this, Old Man Gu immediately directed the Jiang brothers to pack up their stalls and prepare to close the shop.

When the people in line saw this situation, they immediately became anxious and shouted not to close the shop. They hadn't bought it yet! At the same time, they all blamed this Li Sao, saying that she couldn't eat the rice cooked with this rice. Go back and poke it with a broom. If her throat is stabbed smoothly, she won't dislike the rough rice when she eats.

Seeing more and more people scolding her, Mrs. Li panicked and quickly apologized to Mrs. Gu, saying, "Auntie Gu, I don't know how to speak, I'm not good at talking, please don't bother with me. I just wanted to say that the rice was a little worse, so you can reduce the price for me!"

Mrs. Gu rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Don't buy it if you can't afford it. It's not a good habit to belittle other people's things. Buy it or not, if you don't buy it, the people behind you will buy it!"

"I buy, buy, buy...

... How can I not buy it when it's so cheap? Bring me 100 kilograms. "

Just like that, the people behind him no longer dared to act rashly and bought according to the rules. In less than an hour, each family had bought all their own grain.

At night, Gu Liang was calculating the total account under the oil lamp, while Old Lady Gu was counting copper coins. Several men were making mats by the firelight at the gate of the yard. Although there was very little rain this year and the weather was dry, the first half of the year was the most likely to grow mold. The piles of grain stored by the Gu family had to be turned over and dried to ensure that they would not mold or rot.

This account was very important to Gu Liang For the village, it was not complicated and it was finished in two quarters of an hour. There were more than 70 families in the village, and they sold nearly 10,000 kilograms of grain.

After waiting for a while, Gu Liang compared the accounts with those of Old Lady Gu. They matched exactly, not a penny was wrong, but most of the money for buying grain in the village was copper coins, which were clumsy and heavy, so Old Lady Gu had to use a basket to carry grain.

Old Lady Gu stood up, rubbed his old waist and said, "I counted all night and finally finished. I didn't know what it felt like to count money until my hands cramped!"

And Li, who was braiding ears for her unborn child in advance, complained, "The key is, I worked hard all day and didn't make a penny. It was really a waste of time. Your grandson is really good at making trouble. He makes money from unprofitable businesses. It's better to leave this rice for his family!"

"You don't understand anything. My grandson is accumulating blessings for my family! "Old Lady Gu retorted: "The current rice price has risen so much, and the weather is so bad, the harvest is definitely not good. When the time comes, our village will not have enough food to eat, and people will starve to death. Now our family has a lot of food, and selling some of it can be regarded as helping the villagers. Everyone in the village remembers our goodness, and we will not lose anything." After listening to what Old Lady Gu said, Li was embarrassed to apologize and said: "Mother is right, the child in my sister-in-law's belly has so many blessings, and it will definitely be born smoothly." "Yes, children who can be born and raised are blessed. If your child was blessed, he can help to pick pig grass now!" Old Lady Gu suddenly remembered the past and sighed with tears in her eyes. In order to prevent Old Lady Gu from falling into sad things, Gu Liang quickly interrupted Old Lady Gu's memories and asked: "Grandma, I found that you have a lot of opinions about Sister Li!" "Really? How did you see it? ”

“You didn’t get angry when there were so many weirdos in the village today, but you got angry when she said that.”

“Isn’t it because her words were too irritating!”

“You didn’t even say anything to the man who wanted to buy from us at a low price and then sell it at a high price. Sister Li just wanted to bargain, but you didn’t even plan to sell it.”

“You saw through all this, haha. You are still a child, you don’t understand, there is a reason for milk!”

“Miss, I’m going to be fourteen this year.”

“I’m really old now, it’s time to talk about my wife……
