Sell salt
"Don't be busy, boss, you can see if this thing is good first." After speaking, Yuan Qing took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to the boss.
The boss reached out to pick it up, opened the salt with white flowers inside, he was stunned, he had sold salt for so many years, and it was the first time he had seen such a good table salt, he picked up a little with his hand and put it in his mouth, it was very salty, but this saltiness was not comparable to the salt in his store.
"This salt, is this really salt?" The boss really saw this good salt for the first time, just like he was used to seeing coarse cloth pants and saw silk for the first time, and he was amazed.
"Of course." Yuan Qing's tone was very light, and he couldn't see his joy or anger. "My master inadvertently refined such good salt, it's really cheap for you."
"Really? Dare to ask, how much salt does your master always have? β
"Eight bags in total." Yuan Qingdao. "You also know that this illegal sale of salt is illegal, in order to avoid publicity, I have done this step, boss, what do you do?"
"Don't worry, Childe, I will never show off." Such a good table salt, he is unwilling to give up. Since the master of his family found him, he naturally didn't want to publicize the matter.
"Yes." Yuan Qing nodded with satisfaction. "Inspect the goods in the woods outside the prefecture this evening. You should know! β
"Know, know, Childe walks slowly." After speaking, the boss sent Yuan Qing out of the door.
Yuan Qing walked not far away, and the boss said to a guy: "Find someone to keep an eye on him." "Knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, this salt trade is not sloppy.
Yuan Qing had already prepared, let Yuan Bao leave the hut and wait for her in the cave, she called a few big men to transport the salt out of the mountain, and hired a killer to ambush herself in the woods to protect herself, and now she came to an inn, came to the room she had already opened to rest and wait for dark.
The person who was sent by the owner of the salt shop to inquire about Yuan Qing saw that Yuan Qing was living in a rather luxurious inn and did not take any other actions, so he truthfully reported it to the owner of the salt shop.
The boss said in his heart, could it be that this person really has eight bags of salt, and there is really someone behind him, and this person can't afford to provoke himself.
Selling salt in ancient times, just like selling drugs in modern times, required caution. It is difficult for ordinary people to buy salt, and even the salt in their shop is transported from places that specialize in the production of salt, and there is no intermediate link, but this time, it ...... He had to be cautious.
In the evening, the sun had just set, and the moon had not yet risen, and trading was going on in the woods a few miles away in Luo County.
One hand to pay and one hand to deliver, very clean. The owner of the salt shop checked the eight bags of table salt, and it was very good, better than any previous table salt, and the owner was very satisfied. Salt merchants generally do serious business, and he is a little timid about this unknown source of salt, but in order to make money, he still came.
"Boss, now that I've seen the goods, it's time to give a price." Yuan Qing smiled.
"Of course, according to the market price, one tael of silver and one catty of salt, these salts are a total of one hundred and twenty catties. That's a hundred and twenty taels of silver. "The boss didn't dare to step on the price at will, so he had to tell the truth. There were still a few five big and three rough men standing next to Yuan Qing, and the boss didn't dare to make a mistake.
"Yes." Yuan Qing didn't bargain and happily accepted the silver he handed over, after all, this is selling illicit salt, and both sides of the transaction are false, so it is not appropriate to ask for a price, after all, this money is also reasonable.
So they didn't issue any certificates, so they handed over the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, and walked away with their things. Yuan Qing took out twenty taels and distributed them to these big men she found to support the faΓ§ade, and the big men took the money and left. It's just that the killer, Yuan Qing hasn't told him to go yet.
Yuan Qing was sure that no one was following her, she came to Luo County, did not dare to go home, and continued to live in the inn before her. She slumped on the bed, not daring to really sleep, the doors and windows were closed, and she had no reason to convince herself that no one would target her.
I don't know if there is a killer with strong martial arts to protect her, or if no one really is eyeing her, she has a safe night.
In the morning, she left the room and walked back to Qingshan. The sky was clear, and Yuan Qing was biting on the scones while looking around him to see if there were any suspicious people. Judging from Yuan Qing's naked eyes, no one followed her, well, keep walking.
When she came to the hut, which was empty, she changed her men's clothes, put on her usual clothes, and made sure that there was no one left, and then she was willing to go to the cave.
Yuan Qing is also very lucky, no one is eyeing her, because she does not reveal a drop of water, in short, the salt is sold very successfully, but Yuan Qing does not want to continue to stay in this thatched hut, she is not afraid of 10,000, she is afraid of just in case, she has to go.
It's not that she's too careful, it's what she has to do. Who knows if that boss will be insatiable, follow her all the way, see what she really wants, and then find a chance to start. Of course, none of this happened.
The cave stood quietly, and a boy sat lazily on the edge of the cave, his eyes kept looking out of the cave, and his delicate face was full of anxiety. Suddenly, a familiar figure burst into view, and the boy almost jumped up and ran out of the cave.
"Sister, you're back."
"Well, my sister is back." Yuan Qing smiled and grabbed Yuan Bao, and the two sisters and brothers walked into the cave.
After making sure that no one was coming, the two siblings decided to go to see their second father, and the two came to Huangtong Village side by side. Huangtong Village is still the same as when they left four years ago, close to the Loess Desert, but no matter how barren it is, the people who live here have to live, the crops are dying in the ground, but they are not all dead, the sun has not been too poisonous in recent years, and the people of Huangtong Village are a little hopeful, but they are not much better.
The two sisters and brothers came to Huangtong Village again, looking at the things and scenes here, I don't know whether to be happy or happy, if they didn't leave here back then, what kind of situation would it be? I'm starving to death.
Following the route in their memory, they came to the dilapidated earthen houses, which were still four years ago, but they had been exposed to the wind and sun for four years, and they were even more dilapidated.
As soon as he stepped into the earthen house, a voice came out, "Yuan Dashi, how can you live this day?" The family doesn't have much savings, and the food is barely living, and now Xiaodong is sick again, what should we do? And the one who spoke began to weep.
"Don't cry, Xiaodong's illness will be fine." Yuan Dashi comforted the crying woman, looking at his pale and weak son Yuan Dong lying on the bed, how he was not in a hurry as a father.
"Xiaodong, wake up, wake up and see your mother." As the woman spoke, tears falling down the face of the boy lying on the bed.
The boy opened his eyes vigorously, "Mother, I'm so hot, so hot." His mouth kept babbling, and his body felt as if it was being roasted by fire.
"Son, don't be afraid, my mother is here, my mother is here, don't be afraid." Zhao cried as he held his hand. Yuan Dong is her eldest son, she gave birth to a boy and a girl in total, that daughter was born after Yuan Qing's sister and brother left, she is only three years old this year, Yuan Dong is already a teenager and a boy, so he is naturally very popular with his family. Now, Yuan Dong doesn't know what kind of illness he has, his whole body is hot and cold, and the pain is terrible, there is no doctor in Huangtong Village, and Yuan Dashi has no money to hire a doctor, so he can only watch his son suffer.
"Second Daddy." In the doorway stood a girl and a boy, who shouted to the man in the room.
"Qing'er?" Yuan Dashi heard this familiar voice and looked at the girl at the door, and it took a while to spit out these two words. Yuan Qing's appearance has changed a lot, when she left here, she was still a little girl with yellow face and thin muscles, and now standing at the door is a slim girl, no one can see what she is about Yuan Qing at that time.
"Well, second father, it's Qing'er who is back." Yuan Qing smiled.
"Second Daddy." Yuan Bao's sweet childlike voice called the man sweetly.
"Xiaobao." Xiaobao's appearance hasn't changed much.
"Aren't the two of us gone? How did you roll back again. "The Zhao family was already in a panic when he was heartbroken about his son's illness, but now he saw that the two plague gods who had been sent away with great difficulty had returned to his house, how could he not be angry." Hurry up and go, don't dirty my house's underground. β
Being insulted by this Zhao clan's head and face, Yuan Qing's face turned pale, "We came to see the second father, and the second father didn't drive us away, what did you say." β
"I told you to go, didn't you hear?" Zhao's heart was depressed, and he almost roared angrily.
Yuan Qing didn't leave, and pulled Xiaobao into the house.
Zhao was so angry that he picked up the broom next to him and was about to hit Yuan Qing, Yuan Qing avoided it, and the angry Zhao took the broom and danced wildly, her five big and three thick bodies waved this long broom, which was very funny.
Yuan Qing sneered and said coldly: "Is there enough trouble?" β
The next second, Zhao dropped the broom, sat on the ground, and cried loudly. The cry was loud enough to deafen, and while crying, Zhao scolded "It's all you two plague gods who caused my Xiaodong to be like this, you go, you go." "I don't know who to blame, it's these two people, and generally this kind of person is a victim of shirking responsibility.
"Don't cry." Yuan Dashi looked at the sprinkled Zhao clan and shouted.
"Yuan Dashi, you ...... You scold me, you don't scold them, you scold me? As he spoke, the cry echoed inside the house and floated out of the house, but fortunately there were no people here, otherwise others would have thought that such a good thing as killing pigs would happen in this always poor place
