"Sir, do you still want to buy this rice?"
Chu Chenyin smiled and said, "Hey, mate, is that your shopkeeper?"
The clerk nodded, "Yes."
Chu Chenyin continued to ask: "Is his surname Zhang?"
The clerk glanced in the direction where the fat shopkeeper was going and whispered, "You are from outside the country, right? The shopkeeper in my family is indeed surnamed Zhang. In his early years, he was a clerk doing farm work like us, but later he met our Bai family's daughter and married into our Bai family. Now our Mr. Bai has passed away, and he is the head of the Bai family."
After hearing this, Chu Chenyin understood.
The woman that the thin man just mentioned should be Qing'er's mother.
This shopkeeper Zhang wanted to drive Qing'er's mother out of that house.
That was where they had just landed.
Chu Chenyin's eyes turned cold and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
This shopkeeper Zhang abandoned his wife and daughter and has been a profiteer for more than ten years. He must have stored a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and food at home.
She asked the staff, "I want your rice, but I want fifty dou. Do you have any?"
Fifty bushels of rice is equivalent to more than 600 kilograms of rice today, which is not a small number for this small town.
The waiter immediately perked up, "Sir, do you really want to fight fifty times?"
Chu Chenyin nodded, "But I don't want the rice here, I want good quality rice."
The waiter immediately understood what was meant and said, "Sir, this fifty dou of rice is not a small amount. Please wait a moment. I have to go in and ask our shopkeeper."
Chu Chenyin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait, you can ask."
"Okay, sir." The waiter bent his waist, smiled until his eyes narrowed into a line, turned around and walked towards the inner room.
After the waiter left, Fu Yanting asked her in a low voice: "Why did you buy their rice?"
Chu Chenyin smiled meaningfully and said, "If we want to fish, we have to put out bait first."
"Bait?" Fu Yanting muttered softly, and then the corners of his lips rose slightly, as if he had understood what she meant. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
