Xiao Tiedou and Cao Gen wrote it down one after another, recited it again and confirmed it before handing it over to Zhao Dafu.
"Dad, do you understand? Do you want us to go with you?"
Xiao Tiedou still took Zhao Dafu's face into consideration and spoke very quietly.
Zhao Dafu glared at him and said, "Then let's go together!"
"Ha ha!"
Xiao Tiedou and Cao Gen looked at each other and smiled happily.
This can be regarded as joy in suffering, after all, in Fucheng not far away, his sister and brother-in-law are in contact with the refugees, and they don't know what the situation is now.
Facts have proved that the price of grain has indeed increased. Several grain stores in the town were full. Grain merchants took the opportunity to raise prices. The people were miserable, but they had no time to bargain, and they were robbed in vain, as if they were free of money.
Several stores were full, so Cao Gen suggested: "Let's go to Chen Kee Food Store and have a look."
Xiao Tiedou said: "But when we went home before, wasn't Chenji Food Store closed?"
"There are so many people buying food now. They can't stay closed forever. Let's go and have a look."
Grassroots suggestions continue.
Chenji Grain Shop is a grain shop near Yuzhi Pavilion. Seeing that several shops around it were closed, they also closed their doors.
Zhao Dafu took a look and said, "Then go to Chenji and have a look."
The main reason is that Chen Jidong’s wife likes Yuzhi Pavilion’s products very much and visits them every three days. The relationship between the two families is quite good.
The group arrived at Chen Kee Food Store and saw that it was open for business and it was also full.
Zhao Dafu squeezed in and saw Boss Chen selling goods with a toothless smile. Business suddenly got better today. He never expected it!
"Boss Chen!"
Zhao Dafu called him, and when Boss Chen saw him, he told the young man to do his business while he squeezed out to talk to Zhao Dafu.
"Oh, Boss Zhao, why are you here? Didn't your family just buy a lot of food? Isn't it enough?"
When Gao bought it before, the price hadn't increased yet, and because he bought a lot and he was an acquaintance, he gave him a big discount.
"Boss Chen, it's like this. My family has enough, but the folks in the village haven't stocked up on food yet, so they want to come to you to buy some. We need a lot. Look at the price..."
Zhao Dafu wanted to help negotiate the price. Boss Chen took a look and saw that they had three cars and asked, "How much do you want?"
Zhao Dafu made a gesture and said: "At least eight cars must be filled."
There are a lot of people in the village, but they all have to stock up. Eight cars is not too much.
Boss Chen took him aside to talk, and several people from nearby villages also hurriedly gathered to listen, fearing that Zhao Dafu would join forces with Boss Chen to defraud them of their money.
Boss Chen said: "Boss Zhao, to tell you the truth, with the current market situation, if I lower the price for you, the more you buy, the more I will lose, but our two families are neighbors, and your family often patronizes my business.
I can still get it cheaper, just 10% off the current price! What do you think?"
If it's 10% cheaper, that's a 10% discount. Although it's still expensive, it's better than not being cheap at all.
Zhao Dafu asked those who came from the village, "What's the price like?"
Several people looked a little embarrassed, and they pulled Zhao Dafu over and whispered: "Dafu, he calls you Boss Zhao. You must have some face. If you talk to him again, it will be cheaper!"
"Yes, we are all ordinary people, how can we have so much money! How can we bear the price increase this time?"
"Let's talk about it again!"
…
Zhao Dafu was a little embarrassed and was wondering whether to compromise. Cao Gen stepped forward and said: "Uncles, Boss Chen has made it very clear just now that the business he is selling to us is a loss-making business. This is only for the sake of Sister Xiaoyu."
It’s cheap. If you don’t like it, you can buy it elsewhere. Don’t embarrass the rich uncle.”
Cao Gen knew that the Zhao family were relatively honest and easily bullied, so they bravely stepped forward to help.
These words succeeded in making a few people unhappy. Just as they were about to speak, Xiao Tiedou also stood up and said: "Brother Caogen is right, this is all for my sister's sake. Now that my sister is not here,
It’s not easy for my dad to help you. If you don’t want to buy it, then let’s go back!”
Originally, the grassroots were talking, and these people could blame the grassroots for how qualified a little beggar was to speak. But now that it is Xiao Tiedou who is talking, they have to pay attention.
Xiao Tiedou is Zhao Dafu's only son. From now on, everything in the house will belong to him. What's more, he is still studying and may be very promising in the future. If they offend someone now, it will not do any good in the future.
Wan Zhu stood up and said: "What are you talking about here? Didn't you just say in the village that you can buy it at any price? Now Tie Dou's father is helping to negotiate the price, and you are not satisfied yet! If you want to buy, buy it.
If you don’t buy it, go back. I’m not happy about hauling so much grain and tiring the animals and me!”
Wan Zhu was from the Wan family, so it was understandable to say such things. Several people looked at each other and did not dare to speak for a while. They all said that Zhao Dafu would make the decision.
Although the Zhao family does not buy food, Wan Zhu and the village chief's family both want to buy it, and the price is the same as them, so there is really nothing to say.
Then, everyone bought grain at 90% of the price. Because of the price increase, the quantity purchased was much less than expected. The total money of the villagers was less than seven carriages, but Zhao Dafu still bought enough for eight carriages.
vehicles, they have a large family, and there are female workers and so on.
Of course, the other families bought all coarse grains, only the Zhao family bought all refined grains, and the village chief's family and Wan Zhu's family bought half of the coarse grains and half of the refined grains.
This makes other people jealous. The Zhao family doesn't buy any coarse grains. This means that even the female workers in their family eat refined grains. They can't even compare to other people's servants!
This is true for the Zhao family. Why couldn't they recruit workers from the village before? There are many young and diligent girls in the village!
However, such thoughts can only be held in the heart. If one dares to speak out, one must be taught a lesson. Now the Zhao family is not someone who can be bullied by anyone.
Three cars drove back and forth three times. During this period, Tiedou and Caogen went to their husband to ask for leave, and because the matter was serious, they still told the truth to him.
"Is there an epidemic? Is it so serious?"
Gentlemen are also a little anxious. This epidemic is not a small matter.
Cao Gen nodded and said: "Yes, Tiedou's sister is treating patients in Fucheng. She specially sent a letter to tell us to stock up on food and go out less often. Gentlemen, please don't open schools anymore. After this period of limelight,
Say it again."
Xiao Tiedou nodded repeatedly: "Yes, sir, it's important to save your life!"
