Three days later, a man in his forties named Wang Erbang appeared at Zheng Bajin's door carrying a bag of red beans.
Zheng Bajin smiled and thought: Finally there is someone who knows how to scale.
Qingqing didn't know why, but she looked at Zheng Bajin happily and said, "Is there really someone else who will sell it to you?"
Wang Erbang looked at Zheng Bajin and said with a smile: "Bajin, please help me weigh it."
Zheng Bajin was stunned, and he already understood in his heart that he was just here to make an appointment for a scale, and did not intend to sell it to him. So, he smiled secretly in his heart and said politely: "Okay, you can put it on!"
Not long ago, in order to save trouble, he bought a scale. This kind of foreign scale was not known to the locals. However, Zheng Badou has never cheated them, and he only does business with enough money and goods.
That portable scale can only weigh 100 kilograms at a time, and it is easy to manipulate and has long been eliminated.
Wang Erbang put the basket on the scale and took a breath.
Zheng Bajin smiled, pretended to weigh it seriously, and said with a smile: "61 kilograms, excluding the 5 kilograms of backpack, the net weight is 56 kilograms."
Qingqing couldn't help being stunned, looked at Zheng Bajin and said, "That's not right!"
"Yes, this basket weighs 5 pounds. It has been weighed many times." Zheng Bajin didn't expect Qingqing to speak. He interrupted her train of thought, gave her a look, and then said, "If you don't believe it, , pour the beans first, and then remove the skins!"
"Believe it, believe it, everyone can feel at ease when Bajin is working." Wang Erbang said, carrying the basket on his back and heading towards Qian Bo's house.
"Humph, believe it? You would rather be cheated than sell it to me!" Zheng Bajin cursed, glanced at Qingqing who was in a daze, and said, "Are you wondering why I should overpay him? Ten pounds?”
Qingqing nodded and said curiously: "I thought you were wrong!"
“I’ve weighed it dozens of times, I’ll be wrong!”
"So, you did it on purpose? How did you know he wouldn't sell it to you? If he really sold it to you, wouldn't we suffer a loss?" Qingqing still didn't quite understand.
"It's only when you suffer a lot that you gain a lot!" Zheng Bajin said with a smile, "Now, there has been no business for a few days, and the only people who can sell food here are in two situations."
"Which two kinds?" Qingqing looked at Zheng Bajin deeply with her big eyes.
"First, I started to suspect that there was something wrong with Qian Bo's scale, so I came here to weigh it first, so I had a good idea. Second, I had already weighed it at his place, but was dissatisfied, so I came here to make an appointment. No matter what it is, it means that this When people start to doubt Qian Bo, I will add some information to him and expose Qian Bo’s true face as soon as possible, so that he will not buy it at a high price but actually deceive everyone.”
"You said he knows how to read a scale?" Qingqing asked in surprise, and then suddenly realized, "No wonder, his price will be higher than yours. It turns out that the price is higher and lower. This is too abominable. What I hate the most is this. Planting evil businessmen."
"You will know soon whether you want to eat or not." Zheng Bajin said with a smile.
Sure enough, after a while, Wang Erbang came back, with the beans still on his back, and he said cursingly: "I have long suspected that this guy really has no good intentions. I weighed fifty-six pounds of soybeans, and he weighed forty pounds. A full sixteen pounds less."
Zheng Bajin was stunned, Qian Bo was darker than he thought. I thought he was only missing a pound or two on the scale, but I didn't expect that he was missing a full five or six pounds.
You know, these beans are grown by people grinding their hands, and they are losing their hard-earned money.
At this time, several more people came back, carrying or carrying food.
After Wang Erbang made trouble, they no longer believed in Qian Bo and brought the grain back, saying they would rather have a lower unit price than deal with unscrupulous merchants.
Zheng Bajin secretly laughed in his heart: Maybe Qian Bo's face is turning green now!
He didn't say anything, just smiled and gave Wang Erbang fifty-six pounds of money. Others paid according to the actual weight.
People were extremely happy and said that it was thanks to Zheng Bajin and Wang Erbang, otherwise they would never have discovered Qian Bo's true face.
It's really unbelievable that as an authoritative figure in the village, he would be so shameless, doing such a shameless thing as giving birth to a son.
Qing Qing glanced at Zheng Bajin and said nothing, but his face turned red.
From then on, people sold grain to Zheng Bajin again.
Moreover, Zheng Bajin's reputation in the village is increasing day by day. People say that he is a conscientious businessman and a good person who thinks about the people in the village.
Qingqing felt dumbfounded after hearing people's comments.
She knew best that Zheng Bajin was not as good as people said, but he was good to her and his family.
The only thing he couldn't understand was his attitude towards his eldest brother Zheng Baliang. If he didn't know the basics, outsiders wouldn't be able to tell that they were brothers.
Within a few days, Qingqing discovered that almost all of Zheng Bajin's several thousand yuan had been spent on food and coal, and she began to worry about him.
Zheng Bajin, on the other hand, looked calm and calm. He still ate when he needed to and smiled when he needed to.
Of course, move her wherever you need to.
Several times, it made her very embarrassed.
Under the blue sky and white sun, things that were inhumane were happening in the canteen, but someone came to buy something, so she did not dare to say a word.
As for Zheng Bajin, as if nothing was wrong, he wrapped a towel around his body and went out to get something...
People were stunned by his funny dress and cursed secretly, shameless guy...
Zheng Bajin's heart was not as relaxed as his appearance. He saw the money in his hand getting less and less day by day, and finally, he was penniless.
There are many people selling grain, and even people from other villages are constantly sending grain to him.
It's definitely not possible to borrow money. Not many people have spare money at home.
Even Qian Bo already hated him deeply and would not lend him any more government money.
Just wait for Zheng Bajin's funds to be broken before you go and beg him. He wanted to make demands to Zheng Bajin and take the opportunity to buy back the territory that originally belonged to him.
However, Zheng Bajin would not be fooled like this, and suddenly said to the people selling grain: "I have no money now. If you can trust me, give me the grain for two months. Then, one day I will pay everyone a lot, and in addition, I will calculate the money for everyone using bank interest."
People look at me and I look at you, and they dare not give him any more food.
This guy has no money, how do you expect him to pay you back in the future? If the food in his hand fails to be sold, won't he suffer the same fate?
Zheng Bajin nodded and said: "If you don't trust me, just take the food back! I do things based on your own will and will never force anything."
"We have already picked, and you want us to pick them? Isn't this torturing the labor force and playing tricks on us?"
People began to complain.
Zheng Bajin smiled and said, "I told you, if you can trust me, leave it here. Come and get the money after a while. If you can't trust me, take it away. What else do you want?"
"No, we have picked them today, so we have to pay them in cash."
"No money!" Zheng Bajin said angrily. He really didn't expect that these people, who are usually very kind, would be so arrogant now!
"Eight pounds, how about I..."
"No!" Zheng Bajin interrupted Qingqing. Looking at her worried look, he knew what she was going to say.
