They walked carefully along the rugged mountain road, and in the past five years, those stones did not seem to have even moved their positions except for becoming smoother, and Liang Mancang was no longer the boy he was back then, he stepped out and easily crossed the two bluestones.

The torches were quickly burned out, fortunately, the morning light had poured out, from a little glimmer between the sky and the earth to the bright sky and birds contending, Liang Mancang and Gu Daya walked side by side, the tall man and the slightly plump girl, facing the morning glow, chasing the colorful clouds, and trying to climb in the mountains, like a butterfly transformed from a chrysalis, piercing through the darkness, running to the light, leaving the long shadow behind.

"Ah...... My name is Gu Qinglian! Climbing up the Cockscomb Mountain, Gu Daya put down the back basket, put her hands to her mouth, and shouted towards the empty valley.

Gu Qinglian ...... Qinglian ......" The valley echoed, as if in response.

"Why did you change your name?" Liang Mancang looked at the crazy girl in front of him with some confusion.

"It was Qingzhu who gave it to me, I think it's very good, I will definitely use it in the future." Gu Daya gathered her hair that was blown by the mountain wind, turned her head, and said with a smile, "Brother Mancang, if you feel unhappy, you can also shout out a sulk, and after shouting, don't mention how bright your heart is." ”

"Liang Mancang! Liang Mancang! Liang Mancang looked like a big girl, shouting loudly, one after another, as if he was cheering for himself.

His voice was low and mellow, like an inspired arrow, with strong penetrating power, echoing endlessly in the valley, and even more causing the wolves in the Wild Wolf Valley to howl one after another, as if the wolves echoed the wolves to the wolves.

The two drank water and went down the mountain directly, there is only one street running through the north and south in Cuiping Town, large and small shops are crowded next to each other, grain shops, cloth shops, restaurants, and tea shops, but most of the facades are narrow and cramped.

Liang Mancang and Gu Daya didn't need to inquire about the Changlong Tea Shop at all, because his store was brand new and tall, and there was already a long queue in front of the door, waiting for the bamboo baskets or bamboo baskets for the new tea inspection, while those tea owners stood aside, smoking and chatting with acquaintances, inquiring about the latest prices in the tea market, and exchanging news about which tea shop had a high purchase price.

Fresh tea is delicate, can't stand the sun, Liang Mancang didn't rush to sell game, only accompanied the big girl to wait patiently in line for the store to open, they walked all the way, the tea leaves have been lumped in one place, sinking to the bottom of the bamboo basket, Gu Daya stretched out her hand to pick up the tea, shook it in her hand, and scattered it naturally, so that the tea leaves can not be squeezed against each other, which not only dissipates heat, but also looks fluffy.

Fortunately, after half an hour, the door of the shop was finally removed, and the two men began to prepare the weighing baskets and wait for the other guys, while another thin old man in a gray robe came with an abacus between his legs, yawned, and sat down at the long table, ignoring the people outside, and without even raising his eyelids, he looked through a thick ledger, and at first glance, it was the bookkeeper.

The front began to be weighed, and the scattered tea farmers immediately returned to their own bamboo baskets, waiting nervously and excitedly, and those who were at the back of the queue couldn't wait for their turn, and crowded to the long table to look, wanting to know the price of fresh tea today.

"Second-level flag gun, thirty pounds and one catty, a total of three catties and six taels!" The tea leaves in the first place were poured into the bamboo basket in the store, and a fat white man rushed to the scale on the scale pole and screamed the count.

"I have such a good fresh tea, how can it only be second-grade, besides, yesterday's second-level was forty wen a catty!" The tea seller was a simple man, he blushed and said.

"Not satisfied! Look at your tea, what has it become, that is, we will harvest it! The fat guy impatiently kicked the bamboo basket with his toes, and then said, "Do you understand the market?" This tea is like the big girl, that is, it is worth a lot of money for the first time, and it will be a drop in price in the future, and it will not rain in Qingming Valley yet, otherwise no one will accept it for nothing. ”

"Yes...... But the price is too low! The man looked back at the people around him pleadingly.

"Yes, yes, the boss will rise a little more, kind-hearted people, the Bodhisattva will bless you with a lot of wealth." An old man next to him clasped his hands together.

"Yes, yes, poor people in the mountains, they came out in the middle of the night, walked more than ten miles of mountain roads in the dark, and pointed to selling spring tea to buy grain to make ends meet." Another stout woman rolled up her sleeves and wiped her eyes.

"Love to sell or not to sell, not to sell and pull down! It's really not enough to swallow the elephant, although our owner has a big business, but it can't stand your sky-high asking price, let alone make a fortune, besides, the price given by our owner is high enough, don't believe it, you go out to inquire, on this street, who can afford this price! The fat white guy kicked the bamboo basket crookedly in annoyance, and spilled most of the tea leaves.

was robbed by the white fat guy, the man endured it, waved his hand and said, "That's it, that's it, just sell it at this price." ”

"Hey, the world is difficult, and our little people have a hard time."

"Then what can be done, go back today, hurry up and grab tea, you didn't hear him say, one price a day, Ming'er still doesn't know what the market is."

In the whispering of everyone, the line for selling tea became shorter and shorter, and soon it was Gu Daya's turn.

Liang Mancang poured the tea in her bamboo basket into the bamboo basket in the store, and the white fat guy was still the same as before, his fingers plucked and weighed, and his mouth reported: "The flag gun is second-level, four catties and eight taels." ”

The thin old man, his fingers quickly pulled the abacus, and his voice was dumb, and he said weakly: "One hundred and forty-four texts." ”

"Please weigh it again, I didn't see it clearly!" Liang Mancang propped his hands on the long table and said coldly.

"Don't look for trouble, hurry up and settle the account and leave! There are still a lot of people waiting behind here, all of them are like you, I can't do this business yet! The white fat guy was stunned for a moment, and said toughly.

"I'll let you weigh it again!" Liang Mancang stared at the fat guy and repeated it word by word, and there was a faint heavy anger and murderous aura on his body.

"I don't think you plan to sell tea in Changlong in the future!" The fat white guy couldn't bear his threatening gaze, his eyes dodged, but he didn't forget to threaten.

"If you do this on the scales and deduct catties for no reason, I'm afraid it's not that we don't sell tea, but that you can't receive tea anymore, you are self-defeating, does your boss know that you are so nonsense!" Liang Mancang asked with a tiger's eyes.

He is tall and full of strong muscles and bones, and this kind of strong man who comes from up and down looks down, making the fat white guy with a weak heart feel like a mountain of pressure.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Don't ruin Changlong's reputation! The fat white guy bluffed weakly.

"Oh, it's really a profiteer, obviously with a high price, secretly tricking us for two, isn't this the same as selling it to other companies at a low price!" A short man who followed closely behind Liang Mancang immediately exclaimed.

"That's not for sure, maybe it's better to say so, wouldn't I have lost a lot yesterday!" The other man picked up, listening to the tone, full of chagrin.

"I have to hurry up to find my third uncle, he just sold his front feet, and his aunt is in confinement, so the extra money can buy some brown sugar." A half-sized boy hurriedly walked away with a bamboo basket on his back.

The people behind did not know the situation, seeing that the boy had lined up for a long time, and suddenly did not sell, people panicked, and they all flocked to the front to inquire about the news.

Most of the people who go out of the mountain to sell tea are middle-aged men, and when they find out that they have been deceived, they immediately become excited, and some of them are anxious, and they almost want to smash the store with their sleeves on the spot.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the thin bookkeeper rolled up the ledger and abacus and sneaked away, leaving only two men to work hard outside.

"What's going on, it's such a commotion!" Just as the angry crowd outside was about to squeeze into the store, a man walked out with a group of men in black and asked sharply.

I saw that this man was in his early twenties, his skin was like light ink, his lips were like thin blades, his eyebrows and eyes were narrow, and he looked as if he hadn't woken up, and the beard under his chin had been carefully trimmed, leaving half an inch long.

"Owner, you came just in time, this kid didn't say that there was a problem with our scales!" The fat white guy seemed to have been savior, and immediately stepped forward and said.

"Bastard thing! The Qian family pays the most attention to credit in business, can our scales be wrong?! The man kicked the fat white guy in the chest, and the flesh on his cheek jumped.

"Since the boss said that there is no problem with the scale, please weigh my tea again." Liang Mancang rolled in the pile of dead people, and he was not frightened by this small scene at all, and still said calmly.

"You, go and weigh!" The man looked ruthless and raised his hand to point at the guy next to him.

The guy was so frightened that his hands trembled and he couldn't catch up with the scales, he either dropped his tail or cocked his head, and he tossed for a long time before he finally reported the number: "Six catties and four taels?" ”

His tone was full of uncertainty.

"Ah, if this catty is drawn down, it will only be twenty-two and a half pounds, and the Zhangjia Tea Store will charge twenty-eight dollars and one pound yesterday." A man next to him thought about it in his heart, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide and be stunned.

"I just missed the lotus heart tea two days ago, and I really hope that the flag gun can be sold for money, and now I have been deceived by this black-hearted merchant, how can I still live!" A woman sobbed and cried.

"Pay back! Pay it back! More people, shouted angrily.

The man glanced behind him, and the two men in black took the fat white man and pressed him on the long table, while the other man in black took out a short dagger from his sleeve pocket and pointed it at him.

"Are you blind or clumsy?" The sinister man spit on him with a mouthful of phlegm.

"I ...... I just read it wrong......" The fat white guy looked at the dagger in front of him and swallowed.

"That's easy to do, the eyeballs are so bad, what else do you want it to do!" The man waved his hand in disgust.

"Ah, no! Landlord...... Don't ......" When the fat man heard this, his liver and gallbladder were shattered, his face was like ashes, and he writhed desperately like a caught white fat worm while begging for mercy hoarsely.

But the two men who pressed him almost used their whole bodies against him, so that he couldn't struggle for half a minute, and the tip of the dagger with cold air had reached his left eye, as long as he poked it further, his eyeball would burst instantly without any suspense!

Gu Daya was bold in the village, but when she saw that guy was about to be gouged out alive, she was speechless in fear for a while, so she only hid behind Liang Mancang, holding the corner of his clothes tightly.

"Stop!" Liang Mancang shouted in the consternation of everyone.
