The villagers of Qili Village were happy, the people of Lao Zhou's family were happy, Man Bao was also happy, and even the magistrate Yang of the county government was quite happy.
Even Master Bai was very happy, because he had just talked with the old Zhou family and the three children, and asked them to select the best batch of new sun-dried wheat and sell it to him at the same price as the seeds.
But it's not one hundred and fifty cash, but one hundred and thirty-eight cash.
And this time he put forward very strict requirements on the selection of seeds. The reason why he is so confident is because the price of food has dropped!
The grain price in Yizhou area is still high, but it has dropped a lot, but in Luojiang County, the grain price has dropped a lot, and it is close to the normal grain price in previous years.
As a result, grain prices have also fallen.
Manbao and the others are not ignorant. Although the price has dropped a lot, they are still very happy, because it is still much more profitable than simply selling grain.
The three children and the old Zhou's family were easy to satisfy, if Bai Erlang hadn't accidentally learned the price of the second-hand grain seeds his father resold and told his two little friends.
Bai Erlang took advantage of his husband going out, and immediately got between the two of them and said solemnly: "Do you know that we have guests at my house yesterday?"
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao immersed themselves in their homework and took the time to reply, "I don't know."
The sir is really getting worse and worse, why Baier's homework is so little, but theirs is so much
"It's Uncle Wu!" Bai Erlang revealed the answer directly, and said, "Uncle Wu came to my house to collect grain, and the new wheat seeds my father bought from us were also sold to Uncle Wu, and then I followed Going to eat, guess how much my father sold it to Uncle Wu?"
The two finally looked up, but they shook their heads together.
"It's 200 Wen!" Bai Er was angry, "The previous batch was sold for 200 Wen, and now it's still 200 Wen, but didn't Dad say that the price of food in the county town has dropped?"
"It's surrendered," Bai Shanbao said, "Bai Zhuangtou went to see it in person."
"Then why didn't my father sell it to Uncle Wu?"
Man Bao thought for a while and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"
"But the one we sold to my father was surrendered."
Bai Shanbao: "So have you recorded how Tang Bo talked with Wu Liang?"
Bai Erlang blinked, "...why should I remember so many words?"
Man Bao sighed, "You write it down, and we will know what to say when we talk to Uncle Bai again."
Bai Shanbao rolled his eyes and said quietly: "You'd better make friends with the Wu grain merchant, because by next year, not only our village, but also people in the village and even other villages will be full of these new wheat seeds. At that time, Tang Bo will definitely lower the price."
Bai Erlang pondered.
Bai Shanbao and Man Bao lowered their heads to do their homework again, and said, "However, there is no need to force this kind of thing, because the most important thing for us now is to study. So we think we should leave all the things in Zhuangzi to Bai Zhuangtou. If there is such a business in the future, let him try to talk to Tang Bo."
Bai Erlang was stunned, "You, why do you think that once you come out, you go out once?"
Bai Shanbao: "Manbao also agreed to this matter. You are the most relaxed. You don't learn as much as us, and you have less homework than us. You don't know how hard we are."
Man Bao said: "We have followed Zhuangzi from the winter planting to now, and Bai Zhuangtou also knows how to take care of Zhuangzi, why do we have to take care of everything?"
With that time, she might as well read medical books for a while.
"Then you asked me to find Uncle Wu just now."
"Isn't that the idea I gave you in a hurry?" Man Baoli said confidently: "Later we thought, this will delay your study..."
"It won't delay my study."
"That's because you have too little homework," Bai Shanbao complained, "Isn't Man Bao and I going to help with these things in the end?"
He stretched out his head to show Bai Erlang, "Do you think I have lost my hair? It's because of my busy schedule."
Bai Erlang looked at the top of his black head, and said angrily: "Nonsense, your hair is not short at all, and it's autumn now, and the season is about to change, so I'll lose it too, okay?"
When Mr. Zhuang came back after making tea, the three children started arguing.
He stood at the door and coughed heavily.
The study room fell silent instantly, Bai Erlang returned to his seat at a flying speed and sat down, while Bai Shanbao and Man Bao lowered their heads and continued to do their homework.
Only then did Mr. Zhuang turn his back on his seat and stood behind them with his hands behind his back to look at the homework.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in two days. Teacher, remember that you haven't had a holiday for several months?"
The three children raised their heads together and nodded fiercely!
Seeing them like this, Mr. Zhuang wanted to laugh, so he said: "Okay, this Mid-Autumn Festival will give you three days off, starting from tomorrow, and you will come back to class after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Man Bao immediately said: "Sir, three days off is not enough, you haven't been home for a long time, you need to rest for a few more days."
Bai Shanbao: "Yes, yes, and I am very tired after the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I need to rest for two more days."
Bai Erlang also said: "Sir, if you don't go back for a long time, the brothers and the others will definitely complain, so it's better to stay for two more days."
When Mr. Zhuang heard this, he hesitated, mainly because the eyes of the three children were too bright, and he couldn't bear to refuse the expectation in those eyes.
"Okay, then take a four-day vacation, Shi Qi must come back to class."
The three children cheered, saying it was okay.
As soon as Mr. Zhuang announced that school was over, the three of them immediately packed Mr. Zhuang's luggage attentively. Mr. Zhuang disliked it so much that he drove them away when they were almost done packing and finished it by himself.
The three of them happily went out with the small bookcase on their backs. As soon as they left, Man Bao said to Bai Erlang: "Bai Er, let's go find your father and ask him to give us our money."
Bai Erlang nodded fiercely, "I'm going to Yizhou!" So it may take a lot of money.
Bai Shanbao also said: "I will go too, Man Bao, will you go?"
Man Bao shook his head, "I'm not going, I'm going to the county town to do some shopping."
"What? Is there not one in Yizhou?"
"Yes, but Yizhou is too far away, so I don't want to go there to buy."
This time, Master Bai didn't pay in both money and goods, not because he was short of money, but because he wanted to let the three children experience what it means to hold back money.
Sometimes, it's not that you can get the money back immediately after you sell something.
It may be to keep his secrets secret, or it may be to get the three children to agree, he didn't even give the old Zhou's money.
The three children were not very worried, but the old Zhou was very worried. He felt that Landlord Bai was so big and so rich that he was still short of his little money. He couldn't eat well these days and couldn't sleep Well, every morning when I wake up, I have to look in the direction of Bai's house, for fear that Master Bai will run away overnight.
