The next day, Xiaoque got up at dawn. After washing up, he put on a set of clean clothes and walked outside.
The market is still very lively, with all kinds of cries and chaotic footsteps. It sounds noisy and noisy, but it also has a unique flavor.
Xiao Que walked into a grain mill with ease.
The clerk at the Liangfang is a middle-aged man, about 1.6 meters tall, with an ordinary appearance, but his eyes are very alert, and he is obviously a shrewd person.
"Hey, little brother, are you here to buy food?"
When the waiter saw the guest arriving, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face and greeted him warmly.
But when he noticed that the person who came was actually Xiao Que, the smile on his face suddenly froze. His eyes rolled around a few times, and then he waved his hand impatiently to chase them away:
"Why are you a beggar again?"
"I already told you, there is no help here, so get out of here."
In the blink of an eye, the attitude of the boy at the grain mill became extremely bad. His tone was full of ridicule, and he spoke disdainfully to Xiao Que.
"I just want to ask you if I can buy bean sprouts here?"
Xiaoque remained unmoved and asked directly.
"What? No!"
The boy from the grain shop was stunned for a moment, and then sneered:
"Don't mention this rice. You can't even afford ordinary rice."
"It's better to get out of here. This is no place for beggars."
When Xiao Que heard this, his face couldn't help but darken.
Seeing that the person in front of him didn't speak, the clerk at the grain shop became more sure that he was a poor guy, so he became even more contemptuous.
"Little beggar, why don't you get out of here, are you waiting for me to throw you out?"
He pointed at the tip of Xiao Que's nose and shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that Xiao Que wouldn't hear.
The other guests around also looked sideways at Xiao Que, their eyes full of ridicule and pity, and they kept pointing.
Seeing this, Xiao Que's face became colder and colder, and he threw out the money bag directly.
With a clatter, the thick money bag fell on the table and made a crisp sound.
When the grain mill clerk saw the money bag, he was startled at first, then realized what he was doing and immediately reached out and grabbed the money bag.
When he opened the money bag and saw a large amount of five baht coins inside, his eyes immediately went straight, as if he had seen a ghost.
"I want to buy beetroot."
Xiao Que remained expressionless, repeating his previous words indifferently.
The grain mill boy came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Que's eyes, which immediately changed from contempt to awe.
"Young Master, please wait a moment."
He said respectfully, then turned around and ran to the counter. Not long after, he hurried over with several large bags of things in his arms.
"Sir, these are the best bean sprouts in our store. I will give them to you now at the lowest price. I will deliver them to your house later."
The waiter at the grain shop had an apologetic smile on his face and looked like he was just following orders.
"Um."
Xiao Que nodded slightly and didn't say anything more. He stretched out his finger and pointed at the Shuji placed in the grain shop and said:
"Wrap these up too."
As soon as his voice fell, the grain mill clerk's eyes widened and his face instantly turned pale.
He quickly stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at Xiao Que carefully, and said:
"Master, are you sure... you want to buy so many?"
"What's wrong?"
Xiaoque glanced at him lightly and asked.
"No...no."
The grain mill clerk was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees and stammered in agreement.
You know, with so many bean sprouts, even if you use a cart, it would be extremely tiring to carry them all. Moreover, given the quantity, it would be difficult to transport them all in just a few trips.
He had already started wailing in his heart, this man is really not easy to mess with.
Xiao Que actually had no intention of doing so, but he was too lazy to talk nonsense and walked directly towards the door.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, there was a majestic shouting sound.
Xiao Que turned around and saw an old man wearing a brocade robe slowly walking out of the gate on crutches.
The old man was short and fat, with a face full of wrinkles and ridges on his cheeks, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
"I want all the bean sprouts this kid bought."
The old man in brocade robes spoke with a domineering and strong tone.
"I made the decision and asked him to keep the things for an extra 20% of the price."
The waiter at the grain farm had a look of embarrassment on his face. He didn't dare to offend Xiao Que, but he also didn't dare to refuse the old man in brocade robes. For a moment, he was in a dilemma.
"Who is this old man? He is so cruel!"
"I don't know, he seems to be the shopkeeper of a nearby restaurant."
"Whatever, we are running a small business anyway, how can we afford to offend a big family."
Everyone around was talking a lot, all looking like they were watching a good show, and no one helped Xiao Que.
A hint of imperceptible ridicule appeared at the corner of Xiao Que's mouth, his eyes flashed with cold light, he looked at the old man in brocade robes, and said lightly:
"Since I spent money to buy it, there is no reason to sell it again."
Xiaoque's implication is simple, he doesn't need to sell.
When the old man in brocade robes heard this, his face suddenly darkened. He snorted coldly and shouted in a deep voice:
"Since you don't eat the toast and you have to drink it as a penalty, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After that, he took out a heavy money bag from his arms, threw it in front of the grain store clerk, and shouted loudly:
"Move all the beetroots away for me. I want to see who dares to stop me today!"
The grain store clerk's face kept changing. He hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth, with a greedy look on his face, carefully put the money bag away, and then smiled awkwardly at Xiao Que:
"Sir, I'm so sorry."
Xiao Que's face instantly darkened.
When the clerk in the grain area saw Xiao Que's ugly expression, he immediately felt a chill in his heart and secretly thought something was wrong, so he quickly explained:
"This... this old man is the shopkeeper of a restaurant nearby. He is also closely related to the powerful people in Changsha City. He is used to being domineering. It's better not to provoke him."
After hearing this, Xiaoque sneered and said nonchalantly:
"You are right. These people's habit of bullying others should really change. I will take away all the beans today."
This brocade-robed old man was obviously targeting himself, or to be precise, he was targeting Yuxianglou behind him. Even if Xiaoque went to sell grain elsewhere, they would only find trouble, not to mention that the price of bean sprouts here is relatively cheap.
If the old man in brocade robes wanted to fight, since he couldn't avoid it, he would accompany him.
Thinking of this, Xiaoque walked directly into the grain area, preparing to move the grain himself.
"Master..."
The granary boy hurriedly caught up with him, his face a little anxious.
"Why, is there any reason not to give the grain sold to me?"
Xiao Que's face suddenly turned cold. He turned around, stared at the granary boy, and asked coldly.
The granary boy was startled when he heard this, and then quickly explained:
"Young Master, you have misunderstood. I am not preventing you from buying grain. It's just that although these botanicals are relatively small, they are in large quantities, and I cannot give them all to you."
"oh?"
Xiao Que raised his eyebrows, looked at the granary boy, and said:
"Then you mean to give it to this old man?"
"Yes, it is......"
The granary boy's head was lowered, not daring to look at Xiao Que.
"snort."
Xiaoque sneered, then raised his arms and shouted:
"Come and see, everyone, this is how this food store does it!"
Suddenly, more and more people were watching, and even people who were not buying food outside the store wanted to squeeze in to watch the fun.
Seeing this, the granary boy suddenly panicked. He grabbed Xiao Que's arm and said quickly:
"Master, don't be angry. I have absolutely no other intentions. I will move all the food out for you. Don't be impulsive."
The granary boy quickly apologized and said with a smile, he was so angry that his intestines were green now. If he had known that this ancestor was so powerful, how could he have offended him?
You know, your own food store mainly relies on the surrounding neighbors to survive. If your own reputation is ruined, then you really won't be able to survive.
"That's pretty much it. Remember, don't leave a grain behind."
Xiaoque snorted coldly, ignored the old man in brocade robes, and walked away.
"Master, please."
As if he had been granted amnesty, the granary clerk quickly bent down and bowed to greet him, and then looked at the people who were watching.
"Okay, okay, let's all disperse."
The granary boy waved his arms and shouted, and everyone heard and dispersed.
The old man in brocade robes was not angry after being deflated, but looked at Xiao Que's leaving back with a smile on his face.
After all, my purpose is just to give the so-called Yuxianglou a show of strength and warn them. Since the purpose has been achieved, what does it matter whether they buy or not?
"Haha, young man, you are really ruthless."
The old man in brocade robes stroked his beard and laughed twice, then swaggered away towards the distance.
