Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

"Boss Huang?"

Seeing that the person coming was the owner of the rice shop, Lu You shouted happily.

Although Huang Shiren had wanted to trick Lu You before, Lu You did not bear a grudge against him.

After all, all businessmen are dishonest!

Not to mention in this strange world of material scarcity, even in the 21st century, which vegetable market doesn't have a few merchants who cheat on goods by weight?

Besides, Lu You had already scared him with a knife before, so it could be considered revenge.

Later, when buying pork, Lu You asked the butcher to weigh the bag of rice again, and it was heavy at least 35 kilograms.

If you think about it carefully, I was actually taking advantage of others!

"Where are you going, Boss Huang?"

Walking to the donkey cart, Lu You asked with a smile.

"I... am not going anywhere..."

Boss Huang hugged the bag tightly in his arms and forced a smile and said.

[Negative emotions from Huang Shiren +100, +100, +100...]

Hearing the sudden increase in negative emotions in his mind, Lu You looked at Huang Shiren in a daze.

What's wrong with this fat yellow guy?

Didn't I just scare him? That was after he tried to cheat me, so he reaped the fruits of his actions. Why does he hate me so much?

People say that a happy heart makes the body fat, but this guy is almost as fat as a ball. Isn’t his heart too small?

"Get in the car quickly!"

While Lu You was thinking, Uncle Li had already returned to the donkey cart and helped Lu Yi move the things in the book basket up.

"I'll send Mr. Huang to Shifo Village first, and then we'll go back. We have to spread some dirt when we get home today!"

Shifo Village is right next to the official road, but it is located five or six miles away from the fork in the road that leads to Heyuan Village.

The round trip was about ten miles, and although we were on the official road, the speed of the donkey cart was so fast that we would definitely not be able to get home before the sun set.

Qian, who was standing behind, was already angry, and when she heard this, she immediately started to refute.

"Why?"

"Brother Li, don't forget that we also paid to ride in your car."

"You can't delay our work just to make a little extra money!"

There was nothing wrong with what Qian said. She was trying to gain benefits for the people in the car.

But perhaps because of her poor popularity, everyone chose to ignore her words, especially Widow Zhou, who simply rolled her eyes at Qian.

"It's no use delaying you. Today's fare is half off!"

Uncle Li jumped onto the donkey cart and said without turning his head.

"If you still don't want to, then don't sit down and find a way to go back."

Upon hearing that the fare was reduced by half, Qian snorted coldly, then pulled Wu Xiu Lian onto the donkey cart.

The rest of the people also found seats to sit down. Because the book basket was heavy, Lu You and the other two sat at the back of the car, close to Boss Huang.

"drive!"

With the sound of a whip, the car moved forward, and due to inertia, everyone's bodies leaned backwards.

Anyone who has ridden in a donkey cart knows that the most comfortable positions on the cart are on the front two sides. Because of the donkey's load, even if there are some potholes on the cart, it won't be too bumpy.

But the beams on both sides of the car are very narrow and there is no support, so it is very tiring if the journey is long.

The second is the center of the car board just above the axle. It has a large area with railings on both sides for support. Although it is a bit bumpy, it is not as serious as the rear of the car.

Boss Huang was a chubby guy, and his movements were a bit clumsy. At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the room.

As the donkey cart moved forward, Boss Huang's body swayed and fell backwards, right in the direction of Lu You.

"Boss Huang, be careful!"

Holding Boss Huang's arms with both hands to steady him, Lu You said with a smile.

According to Lu You's idea, he would have to do business in this town.

Boss Huang must have some skills to be able to run such a big rice shop.

Although the process of their meeting was not very pleasant, Boss Huang is not a bad person.

As long as you take the initiative, the little misunderstandings in the rice industry will be resolved one day.

As the saying goes, more friends mean more roads, more enemies mean more walls!

If you want to make money and get rich when you are away from home, connections are absolutely the top priority!

So when it comes to Boss Huang, Lu You can be said to have shown 120% kindness.

But for some reason, Boss Huang avoided looking at him at this moment, and hurriedly pulled the railing on the side of the car and sat up straight.

"Thank you, young lady..."

[Negative emotions from Huang Shiren +50, +50, +50...]

Hearing the system prompt sound in his mind again, Lu You frowned slightly.

What's wrong with Boss Huang?

The negative emotions just now had obviously subsided a lot, so why did they rise again as soon as I helped him?

The original body was indeed thinner and darker due to long-term malnutrition.

But she's pretty good-looking, not disgusting at all, right?

This fat yellow guy is really a weirdo!

Although he secretly complained in his heart, Lu You had a big smile on his face.

"Boss Huang, what you said is ridiculous. It takes a hundred years to be able to travel together. We have met twice in just half a day, and we even rode together. This is a great fate."

"It's... fate... fate..."

Boss Huang wiped the sweat from his forehead and agreed with a dry laugh.

"Then... how many taels of silver would it take to end our relationship..."

Ok?

What kind of talk is this?

Hearing what Boss Huang said, everyone in the car was stunned, and then they turned to look at Boss Huang.

Lu You was also a little confused at this time.

"Boss Huang, what do you mean by this? How much money do you need to break up the relationship?"

"I walked around the city for half a day today and met many merchants, but I only felt that I got along well with you, Mr. Huang. I'm thinking of visiting you often in the future!"

Fatty Huang was already nervous because he was being stared at by several people like that.

When he heard Lu You say this again, he actually climbed up with his hands, and knelt down on the car with a plop.

"My dear fellows... My dear heroes..."

"I, Huang Shiren, am just a small boss of a rice shop..."

"No... I'm not the boss... Actually, I'm just the shopkeeper..."

"I only own 20% of the shares in this rice company... the rest belongs to County Magistrate Bai... I don't make much..."

Huang Shiren clasped his hands together and kept bowing to several people, and his voice even had a hint of tears.

"I beg you...please leave me a way to live..."

"I really don't have much money... There's no need for you to make such a fuss... Send so many people to scout the place..."

Check out the spot?

At this point, everyone finally understood what Boss Huang meant. He probably thought they were bandits who had come down the mountain to destroy the kiln!

"Boss Huang, I think you may have misunderstood?"

Uncle Li stopped the donkey cart and explained to Boss Huang.

"We are all good people! We are farmers from Heyuan Village..."

"I didn't say that the heroes are bad guys!" Boss Huang apologized and said, "I understand! The heroes are all good guys..."

"So, this bag contains all my belongings... all for you!"

"I just ask you to let me go! I, Huang, will be grateful forever!!"

As he spoke, Huang Shiren stood up and jumped off the donkey cart. After rolling on the ground twice, he struggled to get up and ran towards the city gate like a madman...
