Chapter 97: Comparing goods will lead to throwing them away; comparing people will lead to death
"Get out! Get out! It's bad enough that you can't beat the bandits, but you still have the nerve to come and cause trouble."
"That's right, you're blackmailing me with just a piece of torn paper. How shameless."
Someone imitated Bai Dashan and started to curse Zhao Dong and his group: "I told you that there are marks on your clothes. You must have stolen them from us."
"..."
They are all caravans, but other caravans sell grain at high prices, while the Baijiabao caravan sells grain at a low price. If you were in their shoes, which side would you stand on?
If there weren't any rotten vegetable leaves or rotten eggs at the moment, Zhao Dong and his group would have been beaten.
At this time, Bai Dashan was stunned for a moment, then quickly raised his hands and thanked the people around him: "Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Bai would like to thank everyone for speaking up for justice."
"I am really grateful that you have not been provoked by those with ulterior motives and are willing to trust our Baijiabao Caravan."
Bai Dashan: "It is said that a horse neighs when it meets a good mentor, and a man dies when he meets a bosom friend. Everyone trusts our Baijiabao caravan so much, and I cannot let everyone down. I have decided..."
After a pause, he took a deep breath and said word by word: "Our caravan will squeeze out some more food and sell it to those who are short of food."
"The price remains the same, but our caravan has limited food purchases this time. We limit the purchase to two kilograms per person. I hope you will understand."
Before, each person weighed at least three kilograms, but now it has become two kilograms.
If Zhao Dong and his party had come to them before, such a decision would definitely have caused people to grumble, but at this moment, it made the onlookers happy and more inclined to favor the Baijiabao caravan.
Look at other people, they are still squeezing out food even though it’s so difficult.
The prices of other caravans were all 27 cents per pound, but at this time, the Baijiabao caravan still maintained the previous price.
This person is afraid of competition.
As the old saying goes, if you compare goods, you will throw them away; if you compare people, you will die. At this time, the people don’t care about right or wrong and stand firmly on the side of Taohua Village.
Zhao Dong wanted to say something, but amid the shouting and cursing from the onlookers, he could only glare at the people from Taohua Village and left unwillingly.
There is no way. There is no benefit in not leaving.
Moreover, the Baijiabao caravan is not as good as the others. Except for the old and the young, all the people in this caravan, both men and women, are armed, so you can't gain any advantage by force.
Zhao Dong and his group left in disgrace, while Bai Dashan, amid the cheers of the onlookers, called over Bai Duojin and arranged the sale of grain in front of these people.
"Village...shopkeeper, where do we have any grain to sell?" Bai Duojin stepped forward, and although his voice was low, some people could hear it.
When the people standing in the front heard this, they looked at Bai Dashan nervously, wondering if he would go back on his word and not sell it.
Bai Dashan sighed, his tone revealing the difficulty he was experiencing: "Let's sell it. It's not easy for everyone. Let's save some money."
After that, he added: "This is also what my aunt meant."
Bai Duojin understood immediately. No wonder the village chief said that. It turned out that it was the aunt's intention.
"In that case, I'll make the arrangements right away. However, I'm afraid everyone will have to tighten their belts and go on a diet even more from now on."
While saying this, Bai Duojin kept an eye on the crowd of onlookers out of the corner of his eye.
Everyone was visibly relieved, and some were even grinning happily and expressing their gratitude. Only then did he turn around and leave with satisfaction.
Taohua Village actually took out some grain, so of course it had to achieve some goals.
Bai Dashan bowed to the crowd and expressed his gratitude before turning around and returning to the camp.
"Auntie~" Bai Dashan came to Bai Tao and returned the headphones respectfully.
With the precedent of walkie-talkies, Bai Dashan was not too surprised by the headphones.
He asked curiously, "Auntie, what is the meaning of Ma Feng's death and what person's death?"
Even though he spoke fluently just now, he just heard it from me and then imitated it.
Bai Tao put away her headphones and casually explained, "A horse neighs when it meets a good mentor, and a man dies when he meets a bosom friend."
"Bo Le is a person. This sentence means that when a horse meets Bo Le, it will neigh, and when a person meets a bosom friend, he is willing to die for the other person."
Upon hearing this, Bai Dashan suddenly realized, "So that's what you mean." He didn't know what it felt like to meet a close friend, but everyone in Taohua Village was willing to die for her.
"But, ma'am, we still have to sell grain?" In the current situation, both the caravans and the grain shops are holding on to the grain and not selling it.
The food for Taohua Village was originally obtained by my aunt, and there was no surplus. Will it have any impact on her if I sell it?
Bai Tao: "Just sell it, and consider it a good deed."
She thought to herself that there was no loss in selling it.
"Besides, this road is a mess. The more people who are kind to us, the less likely we will be tricked by other caravans."
"Even if these people stand aside and watch when something happens, it is better than joining others to add insult to injury."
After hearing this, Bai Dashan finally understood: "Auntie, now that you put it like that, I know."
"Just now, thanks to my aunt's hands-on teaching, otherwise..." As he said this, Bai Dashan scratched his head embarrassedly.
Bai Tao smiled and comforted: "It's okay, you have handled this matter very well."
For an honest farmer in the village, it is very good that he can remain calm and behave like this when faced with such a situation.
Moreover, with so many people watching, if the people were incited, Bai Dashan and others would be seriously injured if not killed.
Bai Dashan: "Auntie, even if you think I'm being long-winded, I still have to say that next time something like this happens, don't go forward."
He just heard what Bai Xiaocao said. The aunt originally wanted to move to the front.
Bai Tao smiled awkwardly: "I didn't go."
I knew that even if I ran over, the villagers would not let me get ahead, so I did the remote operation during the day because I didn't want to waste time.
Originally they should have broken camp and set off early in the morning, but because they had to sell food, Taohua Village was delayed for half a day.
It's not that they haven't thought about selling the food when they reach the next resting place, but those who are short of food are worried that something might happen if they delay. What if something happens and the Baijiabao caravan stops selling food?
In just half a day, more than 7,000 kilograms of grain were sold, and Bai Duojin even let everyone see that the two carts were empty.
This move by the Baijiabao caravan made these people even closer. Whenever they mentioned the Baijiabao caravan in their writings, they would always praise it.
When some caravans saw this, especially those who had been rejected when they wanted to purchase food from Taohua Village, they became so angry that their faces turned ugly.
But they didn't dare to do anything for a while.
Don’t even think about doing anything now. If they say something bad about the Baijiabao caravan outside, they will be hated by these stupid people.
In the past, these caravans would not care whether the common people would hate them or not, but the situation is different now.
If the Baijiabao caravan leads these people to cause trouble for them, they will have no place to cry.
