Chapter 187 You grain merchants, are you immoral?
When people see it, they realize it’s a small ingot!
There are very few people in Bailizhen who don't know her.
No wonder you can often dig up good things, the little ingot is a lucky doll.
Even the ghost soldiers can be summoned, but they can’t dig up a hundred-year-old ginseng?
I paid Xiao Yuanbao for it at the market price.
The two items brought a total of fifty taels of silver, and the two children were very happy.
Cai asked if there was any cinnabar.
The drugstore owner said there was some, so Cai bought some cinnabar. The cinnabar in the drugstore had better quality.
Small ingots are used to draw talismans.
After buying the things, go to the grocery store to get food.
There are several grain stores in Baili Town, but only one of them can store grain, and it is also the largest one.
Four seasons food supply.
Before the carriage got close, we saw a lot of people gathered at the door of the grain store, three layers inside and three layers outside.
I could vaguely hear someone arguing inside.
"You grain companies, how can you be so immoral as to sell this kind of grain..."
"We trusted you and stored the food in your store, but now you give us food like this. Aren't you afraid of losing your conscience?"
"I'm afraid that Ji doesn't want to live anymore. We smashed his storefront. Is this food suitable for human consumption? He is simply insane. Does he think we can't figure it out?"
Little Yuanbao opened the car curtain and looked out.
The beggar boy parked the carriage aside as he couldn't get in.
Cai was puzzled and asked, "Manager Ji is a real person, why would he tamper with the grain? Every time we get grain, it is good quality, with very little sand and gravel."
Sanbao said, "Yes, everyone in Baili Town said that Four Seasons Grain Store is a conscientious store. Is it because the grain they bought this time is not good?"
Now there is a gap between the harvests and the harvest season, and food is scarce. Most of the food is left over from last year, so it is possible that people are dissatisfied.
But neither the mother nor her son believed that Four Seasons Grain Store had deliberately mixed sand and gravel into the food.
The beggar boy had no right to speak. He crossed his arms over his chest and stood on tiptoe to watch the excitement.
He had not been in Bailizhen for long.
Little Yuanbao was short, but very agile. As soon as she got off the carriage, she slipped in to see the excitement.
When it comes to adding to the fun, Sanbao and his sister are a perfect match, one squeezes and the other drills.
Soon he was in the center of the crowd.
The shopkeeper of Four Seasons Grain Store was scolded so harshly that he looked so ugly that he couldn't even raise his head.
There were several grain bags in front of him. All of them were grain bags from the Four Seasons Grain Store, filled with various grains.
There are rice, whole grain noodles, refined white noodles, dried sweet potatoes and so on...
I didn't see any sand or stones inside.
But... there is indeed a problem with all the food. The rice, flour and coarse grains have lost their luster. They are not the physical brightness that normal food should have.
Uniform, all gray.
This kind of food is just like what was offered to the dead during the ancestral sacrifices in previous years...
Even a child like Sanbao could see the difference, not to mention the elderly grandmothers and experienced people of that time.
"Sister, have you ever been enjoyed by that thing?" Sanbao asked quietly.
Little Yuanbao nodded, "Yes, it was eaten!"
Everyone knows Xiao Yuanbao. As soon as she squeezed in, everyone was paying attention to her.
Hearing her say this, I felt more confident.
"You are such a jerk, Ji Chang! You are such a heartless person, you actually sold us this food. We trusted you, so we let our young and ignorant kids come to get the food, but you actually fooled us like this..."
"My husband drank two liang of yellow soup and came to take the food back. He said he hadn't even opened the bag to check. When I took it out while I was cooking, I was shocked!"
"Ji Chang, are you going to die? How dare you sell this kind of stuff? You are so immoral!"
Shopkeeper Ji was scolded so much that his face was covered with spit.
He still didn't believe it, so he asked Xiao Yuanbao again, "Master Xiao Yuanbao, you came at the right time. Has my food really been eaten by someone?"
Little Yuanbao is so cute with his two little pigtails and a round, pink face.
It looks fragrant, soft and kneaded.
"Well, they've all been eaten, old man."
Shopkeeper Ji almost fell down.
He was unable to avoid another wave of saliva attacks from the aunties.
"I don't know what happened! It was the young man who did it... Never mind, it's my fault. I didn't check it. I failed in my duty. I'm sorry, ladies. Our grocery store will compensate you! Alas..."
As soon as Manager Ji said that compensation would be paid, everyone's mood eased.
Food is very expensive these days.
Leaving them without food is tantamount to taking their lives.
If you can compensate, you can still retain some rationality and friendship with your neighbors.
They also couldn't believe that Four Seasons Grain Store, which had behaved well for so many years, would suddenly lose its martial ethics.
Not long ago, wasn’t Bai Shunli from Shunli Car Dealership framed?
Maybe there is some hidden secret. Any knowledgeable head of the family would know at a glance that there is something wrong with this food. Even if someone cooks and eats it without knowing it, it will just be unnutritious and taste dry, but it will not cause poisoning. It is not a big problem.
Therefore, everyone went to the grain bank to register again and exchanged the compensation.
There are other good foods in the grain store, not all of them have been "eaten" like this.
Shopkeeper Ji invited Xiao Yuanbao and the others into the house, and then called the clerk in charge to ask about the situation.
The young man felt very wronged.
So scared.
He was crying and snotting.
"Shopkeeper, I don't know either! The food was taken out from the westernmost storehouse, and I don't know why it became like this..."
Shopkeeper Ji said, "This batch of grain from the west warehouse was dumped a few days ago. I checked it myself. It wasn't like this when it was delivered. Go check it out right away."
He walked two steps and stopped. "Xiao Yuanbao, come and help us take a look."
Cai said, "The granary is important, it's not suitable for outsiders like us to visit, right?"
"It's no problem, it's no problem. Xiao Yuanbao is not a stranger, he is a distinguished guest of our grain bank."
"Here I come!" Little Yuanbao was interested and trotted after him.
Sanbao wanted to protect his sister, so he followed quickly.
The group came to the west warehouse in the backyard.
The warehouse is large, has many windows, is well sealed, and is very cool inside.
Because it is a lean period now, food is scarce and it is not the peak season for autumn harvest, so the West Warehouse is not full.
All kinds of food were collected and sorted into piles.
Looks in good order.
"I took out the grain from here, boss. I have the registration form here. Today I have taken out a total of ..." The young man felt that he could not get rid of the feeling even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Shopkeeper Ji took a look and found no problem.
I opened two or three bags of food outside, all of them were grayish white...
The young man continued to open the bags at the back and found everything was normal.
There was also a bag of food, half of it was gray, but the other half was still good.
It feels like you’ve eaten half of it and haven’t had time to finish it yet?
Shopkeeper Ji asked his assistant to clean out all the dusty food.
The good food is left.
Fortunately, most of it is good.
