Gao Yang was taken aback. "Is this true? But I didn't buy this rice for myself. I bought it for a mysterious merchant to help her with disaster relief and to do good deeds for her. It's just disaster relief. There's no need for such good rice. Do you have any rice that's slightly worse? "
The store owner looked at Gao Yang speechlessly.
To buy rice that's slightly worse than normal for disaster relief, the merchant probably wasn't sincerely doing it for the sake of her reputation.
However, he did have a batch of problematic old rice that he couldn't get rid of.
Now that someone was knocking on his door, he said, "What kind of rice do you want?"
"As bad as possible. It's best if it's the worst, cheapest rice and noodles! Do you have any? "Gao Yang said, blinded by greed.
When the store owner heard this, he immediately became happy.
He was worried that he wouldn't be able to sell that batch of problematic rice and would lose a lot of money.
Now that someone wanted to buy such rice, it solved his problem.
He was secretly delighted, but on the surface, he said calmly, "You don't say. I really do have such rice in my warehouse. I have a batch of old rice that was shipped from the north last year. However, there was a sandstorm on the way and the rice was mixed with some sand. If you really want it, I'll give you ten copper coins per catty. How about it? "
"Take me to see the rice first. I'll bid after I see it." Gao Yang said.
"Alright, it's in my warehouse in the backyard. Come with me." The store owner said as he hurriedly led the way.
He couldn't sell that batch of rice. It took up a lot of space and he was losing money. He had long wanted to throw it away.
He never expected that he would sell it one day!

Soon, the store owner brought Gao Yang to the warehouse. He took a pair of scissors and cut off the seal on a bag of rice. He then brought a lantern over to light it up.
Gao Yang looked into the bag of rice and immediately realized that the rice was worse than he imagined.
He saw that the bag was filled with yellow rice. It looked like it had been aged for several years.
He scooped up a handful of rice and looked carefully. He saw that there was a lot of sand mixed in the rice, as well as all kinds of small stones and rice worms.
Some of the rice worms were black, while others were milky white like maggots. It looked disgusting.
He immediately threw away the rice in disgust and frowned. "This rice is too bad. You want to sell it for ten copper coins per catty?"
The shop owner said unhurriedly, "Dear customer, it depends on the year and the month. If the harvest was good, this rice would be trash. Even animals wouldn't eat it. It wasn't worth a single cent. But now, the victims were so hungry that they were eating grass roots and tree bark. Would they dislike this kind of rice? When the time came, he would wash it with water to wash away the sand and rice worms. Then, no one would be able to tell. In this day and age, having a mouthful of porridge to drink is already considered good enough. Who dares to be picky? "
Gao Yang nodded. He scanned the warehouse and found that there was quite a lot of rice like this, which was exactly what he wanted.
He said, "Boss, I won't talk nonsense with you. I want all of your old rice. But your price is too high. If I want them all, how about five copper coins per catty? "
When the shop owner heard this, he felt that the price was a little low.
But thinking that the good rice in previous years could only be sold at this price, he could take this opportunity to sell this batch of rotten rice, which was better than losing money in his hands.
At this price, he could still make a profit.
He said, "Alright, I promise you. Five copper coins it is. If you still need it, I still have a Rice Merchant Association. The bosses there have a lot of old rice that they can't get rid of, as well as old noodles. If you need it, I'll buy it all for you at this price. How about it? "
A lot of rice and noodles spoiled because they weren't preserved properly.
