"They mix white sand and lime with rice, then sprinkle some water on it and put it here to sell as good rice. The Bai family is really black-hearted." He threw away the rice in his hand and slowly walked towards the shop.
White sand and lime?!
Chu Chenyin was stunned. She thought that high-tech fakes only appeared in modern times, but she didn't expect that there were such vicious and black-hearted businessmen in ancient times.
If white sand is mixed into rice, it will make a crunchy sound when you eat it. If you don't die early, you will get kidney stones or gallstones.
Chu Chenyin suddenly understood why natural disasters occur. Some people really deserve to die.
"Hey, how much does this rice cost?" Fu Yanting walked into the shop and asked the waiter inside.
The waiter saw the guests coming and said with a smile: "These are all the famous fragrant rice in our area. They are about 15 taels of silver per bucket."
Fifteen taels of silver per bowl was twice the price of rice in the capital.
The owner of the Bai family rice shop is really crazy about money.
Chu Chenyin sighed in his heart.
At this time, a pot-bellied man came over. He looked to be about fifty years old, with some shiny white hair on his temples, and he looked extremely wealthy.
"Master, you are here." The waiter hurriedly came to greet him.
When Chu Chenyin heard this, he roughly guessed that the fat old man was the owner of this rice shop.
The fat shopkeeper was followed by a thin man in a blue gown. "Master, that woman won't move!"
The fat old man raised his beard and said angrily, "You have to move out even if you don't want to! I built that house. It's not enough that she has lived here for so many years. She still wants to refuse to leave!"
The thin man said embarrassedly: "Master, she was your wife after all, you can't be so hasty to kill her, right?"
The fat old man shouted at him angrily, "You are just a servant of our Bai family. What qualifications do you have to give me orders here? Get out of here!"
After saying that, he raised his foot and kicked the thin man.
The man was kicked to the ground, and after a cry of pain, he rolled and crawled away.
The fat old man walked into the shop, glanced at Chu Chenyin and the others, then went to the inner room, saying that he wanted to look at the account book.
The other employees in the shop hurried over to greet them, and one stayed behind to continue entertaining Chu Chenyin and Fu Yanting.
