"It's so expensive, I still need to buy three hundred stones. Three hundred stones of food is a bit too much, how can I eat it myself. Forget it, I won't buy so much." Knowing what the other party meant, Zhang Rui became more confident.
Pang Tongyi heard that this was different from what Li Hun and the others had discussed before. Didn't it mean that he wanted to buy a large amount of grain? He could only argue:
"Three hundred stones would definitely be too much if I could eat it myself, but after hearing that Sixth Brother is benevolent and righteous, I think he will often invite the villagers to dinner in the future, so it won't be much."
"No, no, my money doesn't fall from the sky. How can I ask for it more often? But what should I do if I ask for too much? It can't always be like this! Besides, the food you sell is so expensive. In normal times, But white rice, which cost less than one to two and a half dollars, is now sold for two to five dollars. If it rains in a few days, the price of rice will drop. I don’t know what the thanks are?" Zhang Rui seemed to have suffered a big loss. He shook his head and said
After hearing this, Pang Tongyi understood that instead of complaining about too much food, he clearly felt that the price was too high. But before going out, Li Decai told him that as long as it was within the normal selling price, Zhang Rui would sell as much grain as he wanted.
First, Li Decai is not optimistic about the drought and thinks it will not last long. After all, this is Guangxi Province, and long-term droughts rarely occur in the south. Second, even if he buys it, he may not be able to get it. After all, there are dozens of bandits directly on the mountain. No matter how powerful one person is, he can kill them all in the whole village! Unless King Chu appears.
Regarding Zhang Rui, Li Decai was not willing to offend him by cheating on others. After all, according to Li Hun's dictation, a person who can kill a tough gangster and six habitual gangsters in an instant is definitely not a simple character. Such people cannot be friends and should not become enemies, otherwise they will have to live in fear and insecurity for the rest of their lives.
"Then according to Brother Six, what is the appropriate price?"
"One tael for white rice is one qian per shi, yellow millet is 9 qian for one shi, and soybeans are 6 qian for one shi. In this way, I can consider buying in large quantities." Zhang Rui said nonchalantly.
He is ruthless. He is indeed a ruthless person. The price is so high that it doesn’t look like he is serious about doing business.
At this moment, Pang Tong's face instantly darkened, and annoyance flooded into his heart. I looked at Zhang Rui in various ways, especially when I looked at his greasy pig tail braid. He was so angry that he was about to curse.
? Wait, braids?
In a blink of an eye, Pang Tong's face immediately showed a smile.
"Brother Six, the price you gave is a bit low. Can it be higher? You really can't sell it at this price."
"Fortunately, I couldn't hold back the curse." Pang Tong thought in his mind. He had followed Li Decai to see a severed human head with his own eyes, and the six braids were still clearly in his mind. I heard from Li Hun that Zhang Rui didn't say a word when he killed them, he just killed them in two blows.
Although Zhang Rui is currently just killing bandits, who can guarantee that he will kill me with a knife if I anger him? There is really no place to cry then. Anyway, the business is not mine. The worst thing I can do is go back and tell Li Decai whether I want to sell it or not!
"The price is like this. I think it's too high. If it weren't for your master's sincerity, I wouldn't want to buy it. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to use food. I can save the money until the rice can be harvested. That's okay. It's much cheaper, you usually only get four to six yuan for one stone of millet." Zhang Rui looked like I wasn't in a hurry.
Pang Tong spent a while talking to him about good and bad things, but nothing changed. He could only accuse Zhang Rui, saying that he could not decide the price and needed to go back to Li Decai to discuss it.
Zhang Rui expressed his understanding to Pang Tong and said he would go to town soon. If necessary, you can go to him, then turn around and leave. Pang Tong returns to Li's house and rides his donkey back to the town.

"Brother Niu Shi, do you want to join the bandit suppression team?" Zhang Rui said to Li Niu Shi, who had been following him.
"Brother Six, just call me Niu Shi. I want to enter, but I'm afraid you will dislike me." Li Niu Shi whispered in a somewhat annoyed tone.
"In principle, if you are the only child in the family, I don't want it. Because if there is any disability or loss, how will the family live? But you are the first to respond to me, so I will make an exception. But you must go back and follow me. Discuss it with your parents and get their consent, otherwise I won’t let you join." Zhang Rui said seriously to Li Niushi
"Okay... okay, I'll go back now." After saying that, Li Niu Shi ran home quickly.
Zhang Rui, who was walking home, saw Li Si waiting for him at the door of his house.
After Li Si saw Zhang Rui, he said to Zhang Rui with some embarrassment: "Brother Six, see if I can join your bandit suppression team!"
"Uncle Fourth, if I remember correctly, you should be overage!"
"I look more than three or four years old. But I still have strength and can run very fast. The important thing is that I want to kill all those damn bandits to avenge Gou Mao." Li Si said with some anger in his heart.
Looking at the middle-aged man, Zhang Rui didn't know how to comfort him. But once the rules are set, they cannot be changed over and over again, nor can they be given backdoors. Otherwise, there will be no way to lead future teams.
"Uncle, I really can't let you in the bandit suppression team. If I let you in, others will come to me to ask for help. Then what are the rules for?" Zhang Rui said.
I saw Li Si suddenly kneeling in front of Zhang Rui, and said sadly: "Sixth brother, I don't need any money, monthly salary, or even money to comfort me. I just want you to let me in. I just want to kill all those days." Kill the bandits.”
"Uncle, what are you doing!" Zhang Rui quickly pulled Li Si up, "It's not that I don't want to let you in, and it's not that I care about the money. In fact, the rules are certain, and I am most afraid of them changing in the morning. Do you understand?"
"I understand, and I also know that I have made things difficult for you. I am a farmer who doesn't know much, but I have revenge and complaints. I really want to follow you to kill the bandits. Please give me a chance. I I swear I will never hold back the team members." Li Si continued to plead.
"Really want to join the bandit suppression team?"
"I really want to."
"You want to come in even if you don't have money?"
"yes."
"Does Aunt Li know?"
"I told her. I didn't agree with it at first, but later I agreed."
"That's it!" Zhang Rui frowned and thought for a moment.
"Then you will be the logistics support for the bandit suppression team!"
"Logistics, are you from the payment team? Can you kill the bandits?" Li Si looked at Zhang Rui and asked with some doubts
"It belongs to the bandit suppression team, but its main job is not to fight on the battlefield. As for whether you can go to the front line to kill the enemy, it depends on the situation. You still have to rush when necessary." Zhang Rui thought about it and answered Li Si
"My purpose is to kill the bandits without fear of death. If it's not to fight, then what else can I do if I go in." Li Si was a little confused, wondering if Zhang Rui was protecting him.
"Fourth uncle, don't underestimate my logistics. It's not as simple as you think. If you do it well, you will have more merit than if you fight alone on the battlefield." Zhang Rui looked at Li Si seriously. said
"Trust me, you'll understand how effective it is after you do it for a long time."
