Royal Knights Forced to Open

Chapter 506 Short-sighted
In addition to the soaked wine, there was also a pile of picked grapes in the room. It looked like what Xu Lian had said, about four to five hundred catties.

The room is a bit dark, probably due to lack of lighting.But the whole house is still very clean.It is conceivable that without Xu Lian at home, the elderly would not be able to maintain such good hygiene.

"Cough...cough..."

Bai Ning heard the sound of an old man coughing in the inner room.

"Grandpa...are you awake?" Xu Lian hurriedly walked to the inner room.

Bai Ning hesitated for a moment, then followed him in.

Pushing open a thin wooden door, Bai Ning saw the situation of the inner room.The back room is a small room with closed windows.Bai Ning felt that the old man's health must not be very good.Generally speaking, only those who are physically weak are afraid of opening windows.Because if the wind blows in, they will feel cold.

On the bed, covered with a quilt, an old man fell asleep.

The old man's face was very dark, even a little yellow, and he couldn't help coughing while talking.

"A-Lian, have you gone to pick grapes today? Did you work hard?"

"It's not hard. There are many at the foot of the mountain, and they are easy to pick. I have been playing outside for a while today before I came back."

Hearing this, Bai Ning knew that Xu Lian was deceiving his grandfather.When I saw her by the stream at the bottom of the mountain, my whole body was completely dirty, and I drank all the water I brought, so why didn't I work hard?

The old man smiled and said, "Fortunately, you can do it, otherwise we, the grandfather and the grandson, would not even have rice to cook."

Bai Ning didn't know what kind of illness this old man was suffering from, but he just faintly felt a little bit sorry in his heart.

Although the grandfather is bedridden due to illness, there are many such things in the world. Many elderly people in rural areas have such and other problems. When they were young, they worked too hard and exerted too much force. They would always be tired There is pain here and there.These pains have accumulated over the years, and when we are old, we have to rest well.

Alas, if it wasn't for that meal, who wouldn't know the reason to work healthier after a good rest.

Bai Ning glanced at Xu Lian again.This girl is still young, strong and capable.But when she gets old, will she still be ill and spend her whole life like this?
Bai Ning felt a little pain in his heart.

They are such hard-working people and deserve a better life for their hard work.

"This... who is it?"

At this moment, the old man noticed Bai Ning standing at the door.It was a bit surprising to see this urbanite in a suit and sunglasses with a greasy hair.

How many years has it been since we have had such a rich person come here?
The old man wanted to say something, but he was anxious, but he coughed again.

Bai Ning said: "Grandpa, rest well, it's okay. I met Xu Lian by chance on the road. I heard that there are wild grapes. I want to come and buy a batch to make wine. I've seen this stuff just now, so I still stick to it." The previous rules, buy me a vat, soak it for me, I want it at the price of 2000 yuan a vat. I want as much as I have.”

Bai Ning intentionally raised the price in order to give the grandpa and grandson some material care.Now I am a person who is not short of money, so, if you can do what you can, just do a little.

Maybe if you are lucky, the system will think that you have demonstrated the spirit of chivalry and give you some knighthood points to use.

Unexpectedly, Xu Lian didn't have to say whether she agreed or not. The old man coughed and continued:
"Alian, how did you explain it to the customer? Didn't we always sell 1000 yuan a tank, why did we raise the price alone this time?"

His words were full of accusations.

Xu Lian said helplessly: "Who told him to ask for 2000 yuan? I kept saying that I was selling 1000 yuan a tank. He likes to quote randomly, so he hasn't asked me yet." Added: "Also, The grapes I picked now are not enough to make a tank of wine. I only have a few hundred yuan worth of grapes to sell him, and he forced me to stuff 1000 yuan."

The old man said: "In a moment, you go out and weigh the total weight of the grapes. The extra money will be refunded to others."

Bai Ning hurriedly said: "Grandpa, you can tell from my outfit that I am a businessman. For us businessmen, we have money. But it is difficult for us to buy such authentic products. So, As long as the wild grapes are all picked by you, and there are no grapes mixed in for planting, no matter how expensive it is..."

The old man said straightly: "Young man, I can tell by your clothes that you are very rich. However, we also have our own principles. We sell you at the price of wild grapes. Naturally, we must ensure the purity of the goods. This is what we should do. duty."

"However, the grapes grown in the county are sold for a few yuan a catty. If it is wild, it only sells for 5 cents a catty..."

Even Bai Ning was upset by the honesty of the two grandparents.

But the old man said calmly: "We are selling in large quantities. The wholesale price is not comparable to the retail price. At the same time, our place is deep in the mountains. If we sell at a low price, even if we help others carry the goods down the mountain, They have to hire a car to pull them out. There is still war here, so this is also a market economy. If the price is not cheap enough, the boss will not come to collect it."

"They don't want to pay a high price, I am willing. From now on, I will take care of all your grapes. I want as many as you have!" Bai Ning was really in a hurry.

But the old man still said: "A-Lian, it's still the old rule to sell at the previous price. When there is stock, whichever boss asks for it first will sell it to others. The stock will not be reserved."

Bai Ning felt that this old man was not only in poor health, but also a bit too stubborn mentally.

Putting the obvious fairness on the table and not earning money, instead doing those hard jobs, what is... for what?

Seeing Bai Ning's anxious expression, the old man laughed.

Said: "Young man, maybe you don't understand, but if I explain it to you, you will understand."

"If you were me, would you be willing to let your grapes be bought by a monopoly boss?"

"Yes, maybe in the short term, it is beneficial to us if you offer a high price and are willing to take all of it. However, we are producers, and we cannot be separated from the market. In a monopoly environment, people will become lazy. of."

"We can become poor, but we must not become lazy. Because hard work is the biggest guarantee that we can live a prosperous and energetic life in the rest of our lives."

"It's easy to change from being diligent to lazy. Once you get used to a lazy life, if one day you stop buying, our life will be a hundred times, a thousand times worse than it is now."

Bai Ning understood the old man's good intentions, but felt that he was short-sighted.
