Chapter 28

Rabian Wai had a smug, contemptuous, and mocking look on his face, which was quite hateful and very attractive to hate! He definitely had the potential to be a tank! However, Qi Feng was too lazy to beat him (he would use a pile of rice to beat him to death later), and the villagers didn't dare to beat him (they were afraid that if Qi Feng was unreliable, they would have nowhere to buy glutinous rice). So, he just let Rabian Wai laugh brightly.

"Don't laugh so happily now, be careful when the bill comes. There will be a time when you'll cry!" Qi Feng threw a line, shook his head, and dragged his copper coins out of the door.

Rabian Wai was confused and pulled the accountant beside him: "What did that kid just say?"

The accountant shook his head and said: "I think that kid is just boasting. He's afraid of losing face, so he's making a tough talk. Actually, why should the master care? With the snake demon to the west and the zombies to the east of Baihe Town, the roads are almost impassable. How can anyone transport glutinous rice in here? It's better to sell the rice quickly."

Rabian Wai was annoyed: "Do I not know that? But look..." He pointed to the villagers waiting foolishly, "Now everything is ruined by that kid! At least there's no business for the rest of the day!"

The accountant pinched his goatee and suggested: "Master, why don't you take down the sign? We can still sell it for 100 coins, and it will definitely sell!"

"Phew!" Rabian Wai spat at him, "You fool! If I sell it at the original price, won't all the time I've wasted be for nothing? Let those peasants wait! When they realize they've been tricked, they'll know they have no other way out! At that time, even if I ask for 200 coins, they'll have to buy it obediently!" Saying this, he turned and went back to his house.

Unfortunately, Rabian Wai, who understood the commercial tactics of scarcity and the weaknesses of human nature so thoroughly, met Qi Feng, a powerful and free-spirited穿越者 (time traveler).

Speaking of Qi Feng, he returned to the real world, which was the kitchen of the canteen. A canteen! Worried about not having rice? But his window only did beef business, with some cold dishes and ordinary rice, no glutinous rice. However, he could borrow from others!

After so many days of coming and going, although the members of 514 were very low-key, Qi Feng, the boss behind the scenes, couldn't hide from the people around him. The people from other windows in the same canteen basically knew Qi Feng and his team, and they often joked and called them "little bosses."

Qi Feng came to a "delicacy window" with eight windows, which was the largest window in the canteen.

"Hey! Isn't this Little Boss Qi! What brings you to our kitchen today?" Chef Wang of the delicacy window greeted Qi Feng. Although their windows were separated by a wall, there was no competition between the delicacy window and Qi Feng's window. Qi Feng only sold cold dishes, and most students who bought beef and rice from Qi Feng would come here to get a couple of stir-fried dishes. Because Qi Feng's beef was famous in the school, many people came every day, which also boosted the business around. So the relationship between the two was very mutually beneficial. Chef Wang was naturally very polite. To be honest, he often went to Qi Feng's place to buy beef for his wine! He praised Qi Feng's beef and admired it greatly.

Qi Feng raised his hand and greeted: "Chef Wang! I came to borrow some glutinous rice. Do you have it?"

Glutinous rice? Chef Wang was a bit surprised. Was Qi Feng going to add a new dish? But he didn't ask more. "Yes, we have about 200 pounds in the back."

200 pounds? Not enough! Qi Feng thought, but he decided to take what he could get. The first batch of goods would stabilize the situation in Baihe Town. He didn't need to bring 1,000 pounds; he just needed to show that he could provide enough to force Rabian Wai to collapse.

"Can I have it all? I'll pay you directly."

Qi Feng bought 200 pounds of high-quality glutinous rice from Chef Wang at 3 yuan per pound, using the small cart that carried the copper coins. He didn't need to walk far from the kitchen to reach Rabian Wai's shop in Baihe Town.

3 yuan per pound! Kaiyuan Tongbao was worth several yuan each here. Even if he sold it for 1 coin per pound, he wouldn't lose money! The price of 10 coins per pound was just a random guess. After calculating, Qi Feng felt a bit embarrassed; he wasn't much better than Rabian Wai...

When the villagers waiting in Rabian Wai's shop saw Qi Feng pushing the cart in, they burst into thunderous cheers, almost lifting the roof! Rabian Wai was sipping tea in the back of his house and was startled by the noise, quickly running out to see what was happening.

Seeing that it was the young man who caused trouble earlier, Rabian Wai was greatly surprised. First, he didn't believe Qi Feng could get glutinous rice. Second, how long had Qi Feng been gone? It was just enough time to go to the village entrance, and he was already back with glutinous rice? Looking at the cart, there were indeed several large bags. Although the bags looked strange, the shape inside was definitely rice!

However, Rabian Wai still had a glimmer of hope. Could the young man be tricking him by putting some other grains in the bags? The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed!

Seeing Rabian Wai come out, Qi Feng was impressed by his composure. He was indeed a good speculator with strong mental fortitude!

Qi Feng bowed to him: "Rabian Wai, I've brought the glutinous rice. If you lower the price to 10 coins per pound now, it's still in time. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll spend the rest of your life guarding that pile of expired glutinous rice!"

Qi Feng was indeed lazy to make this money. Even if he brought 1,000 pounds of glutinous rice, he could only sell it for 10,000 coins. He still had millions of copper coins piled up outside! He really didn't need this money! He was just annoyed by Rabian Wai and felt sorry for the villagers, so he did this. As long as Rabian Wai gave in and sold the rice at a normal price, he didn't need to push him to the brink.

Hearing this, Rabian Wai was even more convinced that Qi Feng was just bluffing! He coldly laughed, "No matter how you talk, selling rice is my business! If you have the ability, open the bags and sell your rice. I won't stop you!"

There were still those who wouldn't believe until they saw it. Qi Feng shook his head, took out a Swiss Army knife from his keychain, and cut the rice bag. "Whoosh—" white glutinous rice poured out.

"It's really glutinous rice!" The crowd was excited and rushed forward. Fortunately, after eating two Golden Silkworms, Qi Feng's Dragon Elephant Bodhi Power had reached the second level. His strength was at its peak, and he could handle the rush of people easily. He pushed them back with both hands and shouted loudly: "No pushing! Plenty of rice! Line up! Whoever cuts in line won't get any!"

The loud voice echoed through the walls, and the chaotic crowd quickly quieted down.

Qi Feng stepped on a bag of rice and directed: "Line up, the young ones give way to the old, and don't let the children get pushed. Follow the order!"

The villagers of this era were quite simple and soon lined up, each coming up to get rice.

The first in line was an old man with a small cloth bag, holding a handful of copper coins, trembling, "I'll buy two pounds..."

Qi Feng threw the copper coins into the empty box, took the cloth bag, and filled it with a few scoops of glutinous rice. Two pounds? He didn't have a scale, so he just did it casually. He wasn't losing money anyway!

The old man looked and exclaimed, "Too much! This is far more than two pounds!"

Qi Feng lifted the bag and realized he had just leveled up and had no sense of weight. It looked like about four or five pounds. He threw the bag to the old man, "No problem, I said two pounds, so it's two pounds. Take it home."

The old man took the bag and knelt down, scaring Qi Feng. Qi Feng quickly helped him up.

"Great benefactor! You are truly a great benefactor! I'll set up a longevity tablet for you at home. What is your honorable name?"

Uh... This was a bit much, right? Just a few pounds of glutinous rice, really? After sending the old man away, Qi Feng continued selling rice, not counting the copper coins and not weighing the rice, just giving it out based on his mood. He was only giving more, never less!

Selling one portion, he received a few shouts of "Great Benefactor Qi," which made his small vanity very happy. He thought, no wonder the real-world Uncle Biao liked to do charity and hand out money on the street; the sense of achievement was indeed overwhelming! Those who hadn't tried it couldn't really understand. Although what he gave was much less in value compared to Uncle Biao, his glutinous rice was life-saving! It was a pity he wasn't in a cultivation novel; otherwise, would this full merit also level him up a few times?

Rabian Wai was shocked! This kid really brought so much glutinous rice! And from the way he was selling it, it was clear he had a steady supply and didn't care about money! There were indeed some people in this era who were so generous, but they were usually poor, unlike this obvious rich kid in front of him!

Seeing Qi Feng really start to supply glutinous rice, Rabian Wai couldn't sit still. He hurriedly pulled Qi Feng aside and said, "Little Master, what are you doing? You can't throw money into the water just because you have a lot!"

Qi Feng smiled at him, "It's nothing, I just have a lot of money and like to be capricious. What's the problem?"

Rabian Wai was speechless for a while. What was there to say to such a person? He glared at Qi Feng, took a few steps back, and waved his hand.

Behind him, more than ten servants in uniform 9527 outfits, holding sticks and boards, came forward menacingly.

"Wow? Not a few lackeys? Good, very good!" Qi Feng clapped and laughed, "Little Master has just leveled up and is worried about where to test my DPS!"
