Chapter 140 It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain

The shopkeeper's beard twitched twice again: "Eight cents, this is the lowest."

Shen Li estimated that the price was about right: "Okay, it's settled. Now, make a kiln for me first. Will you deliver the goods?"

"You can take it close to the edge. After all, it is fragile. We will pack it well, but there is still a risk. You need to bear this. If you are really worried, you can come and get it yourself."

"There's nothing to worry about. Boss, please send me to the Shen family in Pingjia Village, near the edge of the village." There are more than one family with the surname Shen in the village, so Shen Li had to be more specific.

"Okay, five thousand boxes, two hundred taels, and you need to pay half of the deposit."

The manager stood behind the shopkeeper, listened to the price, and calculated silently in his mind, eight cents for a box, after deducting all the labor costs, the shopkeeper could at least earn five cents, and five thousand boxes would be more than one hundred taels. If he could earn this much in one go, then three times a month, maybe even more, it would be a huge income.

The most important thing is that there is no risk. Who doesn’t want such a profitable business?

He almost offended this big customer. Fortunately, otherwise the shopkeeper would have let him pack up and go home.

This shopkeeper is indeed a businessman, he is quick at calculating. Shen Li took out a silver note and gave it to him: "When I need goods in the future, I will ask someone to come and I will give you the deposit directly then."

"The customer is very thoughtful." The shopkeeper smiled and put the banknote in his arms.

Shen Li looked at his small eyes, almost smiling till they were invisible: "We have something else to do, so we'll leave first."

After the deal was done, the brother and sister didn't delay and went straight to pick up Liu Dahua.

Seeing Liu Dahua, holding a piece of pork and carrying a basket, waiting at the street corner, Shen Xing hurriedly jumped out of the car and took the things over: "Mom, get in the car."

Liu Dahua got on the carriage, Shen Xing stuffed the things into it, and drove home.

"Mom, you must be getting impatient." Shen Li said.

"It wasn't long before the deal was done?"

"Ah."

Shen Xing was outside the carriage, listening to the two people's conversation, and asked the question from before: "Ali, the manager clearly looks down on us, why are you still speaking up for him, otherwise he will definitely be driven away by the shopkeeper."

"Third brother, what kind of person do you think the manager is?"

"What else could he be? Just a sycophantic and snob." Shen Xing despised people like this the most.

"You're right, but because he's the kind of person he is, if he's really driven away because of us, he'll definitely hold a grudge."

"Holding a grudge? Would I be afraid of him?"

Seeing that he still didn't understand, Shen Li patiently explained, "If he was a gentleman or a normal person, we wouldn't be afraid, but because he is a villain, we'd better not offend him. This kind of person has no sense of propriety, righteousness, and integrity, and his actions are even more immoral than you can imagine. Isn't it said that it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain?"

Shen Xing finally understood: "That's right."

"Also, Third Brother, this guy didn't do anything to us. There are many people like him. We don't need to bother with him. And don't you see that this guy has no ability or vision, so why can he be the manager here? I believe he doesn't just do this to us."

Shen Xing thought about it while driving, but he really couldn't figure it out: "What does it mean?"

"This man must be a relative of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper is very shrewd and looks like a profiteer. Why would such a person employ someone like the manager? He must be related to him."

Shen Xing reacted: "So at that time, the shopkeeper said that deliberately in front of us. In fact, he did it for us to see. He would not really drive the manager away."

"That's right. Didn't you see that when the butler begged him, he was actually not sincere at all?"

Shen Xing thought back to the situation at that time, and it was really like this: "What a businessman, how can he have so many thoughts."

Liu Dahua listened to the two people finish talking before she spoke: "A-li is still smarter and saw through his tricks. With you like this, mother will feel more at ease. At least she won't be deceived."

"Mom, she's so cunning, who can fool her?" Shen Xing said, and then asked, "But you know they are that kind of people, why are you still talking to them? Why don't you go to other families to have a look? Aren't you afraid of being fooled by them?"

"To put it bluntly, we and they are just taking what we need. As long as the quality is guaranteed, there is no need to cheat. As a businessman, as long as it is profitable, it will be much simpler."

Shen Xing turned around, lifted the car curtain, and looked at Shen Li: "A Li, you won't become such a profiteer in the future, right?"

"meeting."

"Really?"

Shen Li said unhappily: "It's fake. I'm a businessman and I'm also looking for profit, but I still have principles and bottom line."

Liu Dahua said: "Mother believes in A-Li, and will never become like that."

Shen Xing lowered the curtain with satisfaction, raised his whip, and cracked it in the air: "Go."

The horse was frightened by the sound of the whip and ran faster.

He was just talking nonsense. He knew best what kind of person his sister was.

After arriving home, Liu Dahua and Shen Li started to get busy.

Shen Xing was responsible for cleaning the fish and making the fire.

When building the kitchen, Shen Li built a small stove, which helped a lot and made cooking much more convenient and easier.

The three of them were busy in the kitchen, making ten dishes, including crucian carp and tofu soup, candied sweet potato, braised pork, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and several vegetarian dishes and cold dishes.

Shen Li had just finished mixing the last cold dish when Qin Yu and Qin Yueying arrived.

Qin Yu also had a bottle of wine in his hand.

After the five people sat down.

Liu Dahua picked up the wine glass and said, "Sister Qin, congratulations on your recovery. I'm happy for you that you're getting better."

Qin Yueying also picked up the wine glass: "Thank you, Sister Dahua." Then she drank the wine in the glass.

Liu Dahua also drank it.

The two sisters looked at each other.

Shen Li looked at the two of them. If they continued to watch, they seemed to be about to hug each other and cry bitterly. He interrupted them hurriedly: "Mom, Aunt Qin, this is a good thing. Don't be like this. Come and try the food. I have used all my skills to protect the family."

Shen Xing also said: "Yes, this sweet potato with sugar is Ah Li's specialty. I love it."

The two were interrupted and no longer felt like crying and started eating.

"Oh my god, Qin Yu, where did you buy this wine? It's so delicious. I've never tasted such delicious wine." Shen Xing said.

"My private collection."

Shen Li knew that this wine must be very expensive, since the other party was rich. She had to try it, so she wanted to drink a glass. But before the glass reached her lips, she was stopped by Qin Yu.

"Don't drink by yourself, let's have a drink together. Thank you for saving my mother."

Shen Li tasted the wine anxiously: "I've already thanked you, no need to thank me." After saying that, he was about to drink it.

But Qin Yu grabbed her wrist.
