    "This scale is the most accurate. Look, here is 260 catties!" The businessman pointed to the number on the scale and said happily.

    In fact, he played tricks on the scale behind his back, and everyone who came to sell goods would lose two catties.

    The businessman is very grateful for his wisdom. Every time he weighs, he loses two catties. If he collects ten times and eight times a day, wouldn¡¯t he charge more than twenty catties more? Thinking about it, it is a considerable number.

    Mo Bei looked at the numbers on the scale without saying a word, and laughed with the businessman to accept the money. In fact, he had weighed the goods beforehand and knew the weight of the goods. Although he was annoyed, he didn't say it directly.

    When he went to sell it for the second time, Mo Bei mixed some ingredients in the goods. The merchant weighed them enthusiastically, and the weight he said was still two catties less. Mo Bei smiled knowingly.

    After selling back and forth several times in this way, when he went to sell again, he had just arrived at the gate of the merchant when he was attracted by the quarrel inside.

    "Your scale is wrong, two catties are missing!" This is the shout of a young man.

    The businessman said to him in a calm tone: "Things that have been weighed at my house are the same wherever you go."

    The man stretched his neck and yelled: "Why are they all the same? I didn't measure this number at home!"

    The businessman seemed to know what he was going to say, and pointed to the numbers on the scale and said.

    "Look, this number can still deceive people, but I haven't touched this scale at all."

    The man looked at the scale for a long time, and there were several black Arabic numerals written on it. He couldn't believe it and looked back and forth, but still didn't see anything, so he shook his head and sold the item to him.  He took the money without interest.

    Walking out of the gate, the man glanced at Mo Bei and smiled strangely at him. Mo Bei watched his back gradually leaving strangely.

    When he went in to weigh the scale, the businessman said a few figures with great interest, and Mo Bei was taken aback. He weighed two catties more than what he weighed at home!

    This made him feel unbelievable. He has never weighed too much, and he has always been a stingy businessman. He actually weighed himself two catties more. This is like the sun coming out from the west.

    When he got out of the gate, Mo Bei felt incredible, until he turned a corner on his bicycle and was blocked by the man ahead. He looked at the man inexplicably and got out of the car.

    "Did you add two catties when you weighed it?" The man went straight to the point, and Mo Bei was taken aback by what he said, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

    The man seemed very excited, looked at him excitedly and said: "I did this on purpose. I have done scales before, and I can tell at a glance where there is trouble. If he makes others lose weight, I will let him taste it."  The taste of two pounds less."

    Mo Bei was a little puzzled: "Why didn't you just say it directly?"

    The man blinked at him, pointed to a distant delivery with a mysterious face, and said with a smile.

    "Just go to his house and see."

    Mo Bei was even more confused, why did he go to his house to see, did it have something to do with him not directly pointing it out?

    After all, Mo Bei went there with curiosity, entered the door, and saw the man beside him cheerfully shouting "little cousin!"¡ª¡ª

    The person inside walked out frankly, and saw Mo Bei smiling and approaching him into the room. Mo Bei chatted with this person for a long time, and there were bursts of laughter in the room.

    It turned out that the two were competitors, and the person who helped me get two catties more was entrusted by this family, in order to suppress that family and also to attract customers.

    Later, Mo Bei tried to sell at this store a few times, and found that they were never short of weight. Since then, Mo Bei has become a long-term cooperative customer of this store.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
