Chapter 115 Weighing with the Naked Eye
Gale Village.
Knowing that Lin Xi was coming today, the villagers lined up early, wanting to catch the first wave.
Dai Jin'er saw such a lively scene for the first time, and whispered to Lin Xi, "Many families in Dafeng Village raise pigs."
For ordinary farmers, raising a pig is not cheap. Not to mention the labor cost, the food the pig needs to eat every day will consume a lot of resources.
So some poor families simply cannot afford to raise pigs.
However, most people in Dafeng Village grow cotton, and the economic conditions are relatively good, so there are also many more families raising pigs.
When Lin Xi got off the donkey cart, He Zhaofu was already waiting at the door.
"You've worked hard on the journey. Many people in the village have been waiting here for a long time." He Zhaofu said, "Would you like to take a rest first?"
Lin Xi shook his head, "Don't bother, we can start now."
He Zhaofu was stunned, but still respected Lin Xi's opinion. "That's it, everyone line up and be neat. We're going to start collecting the pigs."
Then, Dai Jin'er saw that everyone was lined up in a long line, and each family had a cart or something and put the pig on it.
Because we have already dealt with customers who buy cotton, everyone has become accustomed to waiting in line for delivery.
But to Dai Jiner, everything here is very new.
"The scale is ready, Boss Lin, do you want to find two people to help you weigh?" said He Zhaofu.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xi politely refused the other party, "No need, I have seen a lot of pigs, just give an estimate directly."
He Zhaofu did not doubt him, and just thought that Lin Xi was experienced, and nodded, "Okay."
The much-anticipated moment of collecting the pigs arrived. A family brought the pigs to Lin Xi. Lin Xi opened the search interface of the Shennong system and saw the weight of the pig at a glance. He reported it to the elder brother, "A total of nine taels and seven hundred and fifty coins."
"Nine taels and six hundred and twenty-five coins."
"Ten taels and one hundred and seventy-five coins."
"Ten taels and one hundred and fifty coins."
Yu Yong waited in line for a long time, and finally it was his turn. He heard Lin Xi announce, "Nine taels and nine hundred and seventy-five coins."
Dai Jin'er quickly gave the money that had been divided up long ago to the other party.
"Boss, why do I have fewer pigs than others?" Yu Yong really didn't understand.
Lin Xi explained, "Your pigs are lighter than others, so naturally there are fewer of them."
"How come it's less?" Yu Yong was not convinced. "My pigs are obviously no less than any other family. I've been feeling strange since just now. You quote a price for every person who comes. How can you be so accurate? Are you trying to pay us less?"
From just now on, Lin Xi just casually took a look at other people's pigs and quoted a price. Yu Yong found it really unbelievable.
Lin Xi asked, "Are you now doubting that I saw it wrong?"
"Of course." Yu Yong nodded.
Lin Xi reflected on it for a moment and felt that doing so would indeed make people suspicious. After all, the difference of a few kilograms in weight was not obvious.
"These are all based on my experience. Although there is no logic to it, I dare to guarantee that it will not be wrong." Lin Xi said, "If you still have doubts, I will charge you ten taels of silver per head."
The villagers had their own ideas about this. Some of them who wanted more than ten taels naturally thought that Lin Xi's method was the best.
But some people who got less than ten taels secretly felt that they were losing money.
For a while, everyone was arguing endlessly.
He Zhaofu looked at the crowd's increasingly noisy voices and said coldly, "Why are you making so much noise? I think Boss Lin is really capable. He runs such a big business, why would he deduct a little from you?"
Unexpectedly, Yu Yong said, "Village head, it's hard to say. As the old saying goes, all businessmen are dishonest. Mr. Lin has such a big business in the county, so he may have some tricks."
Lin Xi glanced at Yu Yong and felt strange. She seemed to have never seen this guy before. Why did he seem to be targeting her?
"Yu Yong, what did you say!" He Zhaofu was a little annoyed. He had already said that, but Yu Yong still jumped out to cause trouble, clearly showing that he did not take him, the village head, seriously.
"Am I wrong?" Yu Yong didn't think there was anything wrong with his questioning. "Boss Lin is so capable, what she says is what she means. If it doesn't work, let her see something else."
Lin Xi looked at Yu Yong as if he was looking at a clown.
But she was in a good mood today and could play with him.
"Tell me, how can I prove that I can really tell the weight of the pig?" Lin Xi asked.
Yu Yong smiled slyly, "The pig is so big, it's hard for us to verify it. How about this, I'll go get two chickens and you can see how heavy each one is?"
With the Shennong system in hand, this little thing is not worth mentioning to her, but since Yu Yong is determined to do so, she can't let him down.
"Yu Yong, I'm giving you face. Boss Lin is a guest of the village, how can we allow you to make trouble here!" He Zhaofu was a little angry.
Lin Xi didn't care, and instead comforted He Zhaofu, "It's nothing. It's normal for everyone to have doubts about me. I want to prove to everyone that I didn't make a random offer."
"Okay, wait." After saying this, Yu Yong disappeared from everyone's sight and went to catch chickens.
Not long after, Yu Yong came back with two roosters that looked similar in his hands.
"Boss Lin, look, which of these two chickens is heavier and which one is lighter." Yu Yong looked at Lin Xi proudly.
These were the two chickens he had carefully selected from his own chicken coop, and even he himself couldn't tell which one was heavier.
But for Lin Xi, everything was written in black and white before his eyes.
The chicken in Yu Yong's left hand weighed 6.4 jin, while the one in his right hand weighed 6.5 jin.
Just after Lin Xi expressed his judgment, Yu Yong laughed. He judged from the feel of his hand that the chicken in his left hand was the heavier one.
"I'm so sorry, Boss Lin, you made a mistake," Yu Yong said proudly, picking up the chicken in his left hand, "Obviously this one is heavier."
Lin Xi was calm and indifferent, "Whether it is right or not, we will know after we weigh it."
"What's there to call it? It's not like I can't feel it." In Yu Yong's opinion, Lin Xi just didn't want to face the fact that he guessed wrong.
He Zhaofu frowned and said to the people around him, "Bring the scales."
Soon, someone handed over a scale.
He Zhaofu tied up the chicken's feet with straw and weighed the two chickens one by one.
Yu Yong was quite disdainful, "Even if I weigh it multiple times, the result will be the same. The one in my left hand must be heavier."
Unexpectedly, He Zhaofu said, "The heavier one is the one in Yu Yong's right hand."
He Zhaofu is the village head, and everyone has great trust in him. Now, after hearing him say this, no one has any doubts anymore.
"Boss Lin is truly an amazing person. He can tell the weight of a pig at a glance."
