Chapter 416 Negotiated
Bai Erlang immediately became anxious, "Dad, have you been cheated? Who cheated you? I'll help you beat him up!"
Bai Shanbao suggested, "Should we report it to the authorities?"
Manbao said, "Let's go call the village chief and get everyone else to go with us. We have more people and can make him hand over all the money he cheated."
Is this how strength in numbers is used?
Mr. Bai looked at the three children with a distressed look on his face and asked weakly, "Have you bought all the new wheat seeds in the village?"
The three of them nodded together, "Yes!"
“When did you buy it?”
"Today!"
Mr. Bai was speechless for a long time. He said, "Why are the three children so excited and enthusiastic this morning?"
He felt a little pain in his heart and couldn't help asking, "Then what price are you going to sell it to me?"
Manbao asked with concern: "Is it really true that we don't need to chase the scammer first? There's no rush for the sale. We'll be waiting for you anyway."
Bai Shanbao nodded, "Let's report it to the police first. We are familiar with County Magistrate Yang, and we can ask him to work overtime to arrest the person."
Bai Erlang nodded repeatedly, and stepped forward to support his father with great filial piety.
Mr. Bai was not comforted at all. He waved his hand weakly and said, "I wasn't cheated. I didn't buy the wheat seeds. I was just trying to trick you."
The three children's eyes lit up at the same time, as dazzling as six large oil lamps, and smiles appeared on their faces.
Mr. Bai held his forehead and covered his eyes.
He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then asked, "What price are you going to sell it to me?"
Bai Erlang couldn't help but laugh out loud, pinching his waist. He waved his hand proudly and shouted, "One hundred and fifty coins a dou, not a penny less!"
Mr. Bai: ...
This is the original price!
Is this the original price?
Mr. Bai stared at the three children for a while, and suddenly he felt refreshed. He also put his hands on his waist and laughed out loud.
The three children looked at him in confusion, unsure if he was too shocked.
Mr. Bai, however, felt completely relaxed. He pinched his waist and laughed for a long time, almost crying. Then he lowered his head and asked, "Did you discuss this idea in the study that day?"
The three children nodded blankly.
Mr. Bai laughed heartily again, then pulled his mustache and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, okay!"
He lowered his head and looked at the three children seriously, then laughed and waved his hand, saying, "Come on, no need for tea or snacks, let's go to the study and talk."
The three children looked at each other, confused, and followed Mr. Bai to the study.
Mr. Bai sat in the main seat and let the three children sit wherever they wanted. Then he asked with a smile, "Do you think I will definitely buy wheat seeds from you?"
Bai Shanbao stood up and said, "Uncle, wait for me."
He ran away in a flash. Master Bai didn't see him come back for a while, so he couldn't help but ask, "What did he do?"
"He went back to get the number we kept." Manbao also felt that he was slow. "If you go to our study over there for tea and dessert, he won't have to run around."
Mr. Bai: ...So you didn't invite me over for tea and dessert, but because there are things you wrote there?
Bai Shanbao came back breathlessly with a stack of papers in his hand. He handed it to Mr. Bai and said, "This is what the teacher taught us to do. Take a look."
Mr. Bai looked down and saw some data written on it, which was divided into two parts. One part was some wheat production data from the previous year, and the other part was this year's.
But there are not many numbers, more of them are some analysis written after turning the page. Mr. Bai even saw his son's handwriting in it.
Regardless of what the data is, what is written at the end makes Mr. Bai, who has rich experience, very excited.
The three children looked at Mr. Bai with bright eyes.
Manbao added, "Uncle Bai, the wheat seeds at the grain store are 144 coins per dou. If you calculate it that way, our wheat seeds are only half a coin more expensive per jin than theirs. But we can grow a lot more wheat with our one jin of wheat seeds."
Bai Shanbao nodded in agreement, "Uncle, we are family, would we cheat you?"
"That's right, Dad. We are a family. This price is really fair. Our regular price is 180 wen per dou."
Mr. Bai looked at Bai Erlang deeply and asked Bai Shanbao and Manbao, "Are you really planning to sell this wheat seed?"
The two nodded together, and Bai Jilang also nodded.
"One hundred and eighty wen a dou?"
The three of them nodded together.
Mr. Bai turned the teacup in his hand and suddenly smiled and said, "Can you find other sellers?"
Bai Shanbao and Manbao looked at Bai Erlang together and nodded.
Mr. Bai followed their gaze and glanced at Bai Erlang, then asked hesitantly, "Who is the seller you are talking about?"
Bai Erlang said anxiously: "It's Uncle Wu!"
They had all planned it out. As soon as his father bought the wheat seeds, they would go find Uncle Wu and tell him that even his father had spent a high price to buy the wheat seeds, so why didn't he buy some?
Mr. Bai knew that if there really was a child in this world who was always trying to cheat his father, that child must be his son.
Mr. Bai forced a smile, put down his teacup and said, "Alright, one hundred and fifty coins is one hundred and fifty coins, but I want all the wheat seeds you have."
"No," Bai Shanbao said seriously, "I have to save some for my family."
Manbao immediately said, "It's also one hundred and fifty coins per dou."
Bai Shanbao glared, and Manbao said seriously: "The current situation is that we have sold it."
Well, this was something they hadn't discussed before.
Bai Shanbao sighed and said, "I have to ask my grandmother about this."
Mr. Bai smiled and said, "No hurry, no hurry. Your grandmother will be back after the Dragon Boat Festival. Why don't you leave a few bags of wheat seeds? If your family doesn't buy them, you can sell them to me later."
Bai Shanbao looked at Manbao and Bai Erlang, because this thing belonged not only to him, but also to both of them.
Manbao said it was no problem and nodded.
Bai Erlang naturally nodded.
"Then let's sign the documents." Bai Shanbao suggested.
Mr. Bai smiled and said, "You guys still know how to sign documents?"
"Of course we know. We have learned it from the teacher." A few days ago, Mr. Zhuang specifically used this as an example to ask them to draft a document, which they revised again and again.
So Bai Shanbao could just pick up the pen and write the document.
Mr. Bai was filled with emotion as he watched. It seemed that Mr. Zhuang knew about this matter. Mr. Zhuang was worthy of being Mr. Zhuang. He gave a good salary.
Manbao took the opportunity to ask Mr. Bai, "Uncle Bai, my family also has wheat seeds, which are of better quality than those in the village. Do you want some?"
Mr. Bai looked at Manbao with envy, thinking that this was the real child of the family, unlike his own son...
