The two groups of people are old acquaintances, and "acquaintance" means not only friends, but also enemies.

Sending spies to spy on the secret recipe of the pottery kiln, is such an act considered an enemy?

For Gu Qing, not necessarily. Gu Qing understands human nature, including himself, and it is not worth making a fuss about people doing anything for the sake of profit.

As for Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing, Gu Qing's attitude is to wait and see.

He allows anyone around him to make mistakes, but only if they make mistakes and change them, the unrepentant will become his true enemies.

Now Gu Qing is waiting for the two businessmen to show their attitude, whether they sincerely admit their mistakes or die without repentance when they enter the village today, their attitude determines Gu Qing's attitude.

Shi Daxing and Hao Donglai walked very fast, the mountain road was rugged and long, and the two of them were sweating profusely, scolding and scolding as they walked, as if they were quarrelling. The entourage brought by the two of them followed behind, walking honestly, and they didn't dare to mix in the fairies fighting.

Gu Qing greeted him with a smile and bowed his hand to the two: "The two shopkeepers came by coincidence, I just happened to have a meal." ”

Shi Daxing: ???

Hao Donglai was very calm, he knew the meaning of Gu Qing's words, "it was a coincidence" meant, fortunately he had eaten.

"Oh, Shaolangjun, I haven't seen you for a day, like every three autumns, I really want to hurt me!" Hao Donglai greeted him enthusiastically, a round fat man laughed seriously, the affinity is not ordinarily high, it is simply loved by everyone, and people can't help but have a huge good feeling, and they can't help but have a huge good feeling, and they can't wait to write his name on the tablet, and three incense sticks every day to show their love.

Shi Daxing secretly scolded shamelessly, and also greeted him with a smile.

Gu Qing said curiously: "Why did the two shopkeepers suddenly come here?" Is there something wrong? ”

The two of them were stunned, why did we come here suddenly, didn't you count it in your heart?

took a closer look at Gu Qing's face, but he couldn't see any clues, Gu Qing looked like nothing happened, and his innocent and dazed expression even gave the two of them an illusion that their buddy's broken leg had nothing to do with Gu Qing, and the real murderer was someone else.

"Uh, didn't something happen to Shaolang-kun last night?" Hao Donglai's eyes flickered, and he asked tentatively.

Gu Qing seemed to smile: "What do you want to happen to me?" ”

"Of course I don't want to, Shopkeeper Shi and I have always hoped that Shaolangjun will be free of illness and disaster, and our pottery kiln will last forever."

Gu Qing smiled: "Then it's fine." ”

Hao Donglai looked shocked and quickly glanced at Shi Daxing.

Shi Daxing is obviously not so calm, and he is more down-to-earth than Hao Donglai, seeing the two of them playing dumb riddles coming and going, Shi Daxing was impatient, stepped forward and said loudly: "Shaolangjun, Ming people don't say dark words, I did something unpleasant and sorry for you last night, I don't pay attention to it, I was wrong, I came to apologize to you today." ”

Gu Qing was quite surprised, he thought that he would have to fight Tai Chi with them for a while to make his words clear, but he didn't expect Shi Daxing to say it first.

A villain is a villain, but he is also a single person and a man. Well, although this person's festival has been gnawed by the dog a few times, at least there is a little left.

As for Hao Donglai, this thing has never been long.

Seeing that Shi Daxing admitted his mistake, Hao Donglai finally had no choice, and lowered his head and sighed: "Yes, I also did something unrefined last night, and I came to apologize to Shaolangjun today." ”

Gu Qing smiled, his eyes wandered back and forth on the faces of the two, and said slowly: "The two shopkeepers, the two guys of your account, their legs are okay?" You won't be crippled for life, will you? ”

Hao Donglai squeezed out an ugly smile: "The doctor has seen it, it's just a fracture, and it will be good to take care of it for a few days, and it won't be crippled." ”

Gu Qing said leisurely: "To be honest, it doesn't matter whether you admit your mistakes or not, because I don't trust you anymore." At the end of our cooperation, I have selected two clever villagers, they will leave for Shuzhou in the afternoon, looking for other businessmen to cooperate, of course, we must find more rich and powerful than you, and you can not afford to offend businessmen, I don't believe that my pottery kiln will not be able to open without you. ”

The two were shocked.

If their previous admitting mistakes was forced by the situation, and there was still luck in their hearts, Gu Qing was really anxious when he said this, because Gu Qing wanted to kick them out, which really touched their interests.

"Shao Langjun think twice!" Hao Donglai was so anxious that his voice changed.

Shi Daxing said with an ugly face: "Why should Shaolangjun be like this, we swear that we will never have two hearts from now on, it is better to be familiar than to be raw, and invite the businessmen of Shuzhou to come over, who can guarantee that he is not a bad person?" ”

Gu Qing sneered: "I have little experience in trading, but this is the first time I have seen my partner eating inside and out, I really don't know if you are really stupid or fake, or rather, you haven't inquired about my personality before?" I'd rather break jade than be a complete tile, and even if you really stole my kiln secret recipe, guess what I'd do? ”

Gu Qing bared his teeth and smiled: "I will immediately publicize the secret recipe to the world, so that all businessmen know the secret recipe, since I can't play it, you don't want to make a profit." If you steal the secret recipe, you can eat it to yourself? Oh, that's naïve. ”

When the two of them heard this, they became more and more cold and sweaty.

Hao Donglai quickly glanced at Shi Daxing, and the two of them had a wry smile on their faces.

Yes, this step is wrong, they really underestimated this young man, although he is young, he is old and decisive, and he is not leaking, this time he is completely planted.

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing exchanged glances, the two of them bowed to Gu Qing at the same time, Shi Daxing said sincerely: "Shaolangjun, we really know that we are wrong, and we hope that Shaolangjun will ignore the past suspicions, forgive and be tolerant, we swear by the clan surname, we will never have two hearts, and those who violate it will be punished by heaven." ”

With the importance that ancient people attached to the surnames of their ancestors, this oath can be said to be very serious and sincere.

Gu Qing actually wanted to change the businessman he cooperated with, but he wasn't sure if the new businessman he exchanged for was worse and more ambitious.

Although the two in front of him are not right, at least they can suppress them temporarily, in the final analysis, Gu Qing is not yet in his wings, has no power, no power and no connections, even if he seeks skin with the tiger, he is forced to do so.

After pondering for a long time, Gu Qing said slowly: "Only this time, there will be no next time, two, making money in a down-to-earth manner is the right way, excessive greed, often nothing is gained, you are businessmen, and you understand the principle of cooperation and mutual benefit better than me." ”

The two of them should be again and again.

Gu Qing smiled: "Since the two of you are here, let's officially cooperate, the pottery kiln has recently produced more than 2,000 pieces of various pottery, which can be transported into Qingcheng County, I have finished the part that should be done, and the next thing is to see how much money the two can help me make." ”

…………

There seems to be some subtle changes in the village of Ishibashi.

It's not the landscape architecture that's changing, it's the people.

The smiles on the faces of the villagers gradually increased, and life seemed to be different from before. After Gu Qing's pottery kiln burned several batches of pottery, the villagers were shocked to find that their lives were getting better and better.

The men were able to eat a meal of meat once in a while, and the women and children had the courage to bargain loudly with the merchants, and at last proudly discharged a few pennies from the palms of their hands and exchanged them for a few feet of coarse cloth to make new clothes.

The once lifeless mountain village now radiates a bright vitality like the rising sun, and the mountain village is still the same mountain village, and I can't see where it has changed, but it has indeed changed.
