Han Cheng and Aunt Luo came to the place where the salt was sold, and there were still many people around the outside of the salt shop, but the inside of the store was deserted, and few people entered.

One only needs to look at such a scenario to know that the price of salt must still be high.

Han Cheng inquired around, and sure enough, compared to the last time he came, the price of salt not only did not fall, but went up a bit.

Han Cheng stood here with the person who told him the price of salt, sighed a few words that he couldn't get by, inquired about some other things, and then returned with Aunt Luo.

On the second floor of the salt shop, in a very well-decorated room, there were several tables on them, on which were some fragrant wine and food, and several people knelt behind the tables.

"It's been more than a month, why don't these people come in to buy salt?"

One of the people sitting with him looked a little worried through the window that had opened some gaps, and glanced at the crowd of people who were surrounding the salt shop in front of the salt shop and did not go inside.

"There is no need to worry, more than a month has passed, and the salt in these people's homes has basically been eaten up, and they will not be able to sell it when the time comes."

The person sitting at the top said with a smile, with a light breeze and a sense of confidence.

This man is about forty years old, dressed as a scholar, and looks quite elegant.

"Or the price will drop a little, before ten buckets of wheat for half a liter these people refused to buy, and now it is rising, I am afraid that these people will be even more unwilling to buy, this matter is extremely important to the second son, if it is not much time to sell, then ......"

The person sitting with him thought for a while, and then spoke to the elegant middle-aged man above.

"You can't reduce the price, you can only go up at this time. These people are all cheap skins, if you go down a little more, they will think that you will go down more, gritting their teeth and waiting for you to continue to go down, and they will never buy.

If it goes up a little bit a day, they will buy it, because the later they buy, the higher the price. ”

The middle-aged man said calmly with a faint smile on his face, paused for a moment and said with a smile: "You also know how important this matter is to the second son, but you must do it well, and after the matter is completed, your benefits are indispensable." ”

"That's, that's, we've always been friendly with the second son, so naturally we have to go all out,"

The person sitting with him hurriedly said with a smile, and several other people in the room also expressed their positions.

"We don't know much about this matter, it's far from being seen thoroughly by the offerings, and how to do it is all based on the instructions of the offerings."

After expressing his attitude, the man smiled and said to the middle-aged man, and the rest of them all had the same attitude.

For this middle-aged man, they don't dare to slack off at all.

Because the origin of this middle-aged man is not simple, he came from Jinyang, and he is also an important person beside the second son, and he gives advice to the second son on weekdays, especially in business.

"Brother Cheng! Let's go back and get salt, and after making salt, don't bother with salted fish, it's good to sell salt directly......"

On the way back from Mayi County, when she walked to a secluded and uninhabited place, Aunt Luo, who was excited to swing, lowered her voice and said to Han Cheng excitedly.

She had heard about the price of salt that had risen to the sky before, but she had only heard that after coming to the county town today and feeling the unusually high salt price at the door of the salt shop in person, she didn't want to talk about that feeling.

If she hadn't been worried about being heard, she would have said this to Han Cheng a long time ago.

Of course, Han Cheng would not agree, as early as before, he had some guesses about this salt panic, and today in the county town after asking some people on the side, he was a little more convinced of his previous guesses.

The salt shops in Mayi County, except for two that did not inquire about it, the rest were all opened by the Wang family.

Han Cheng estimated that the people behind the scenes who didn't inquire about the two families could also be the Wang family.

This Wang family is not another Wang family, but the Jinyang Wang family among the five surnames and seven families, and the great family of gate valves that has been inherited for thousands of years.

Looking at the current situation, they are ready to take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money.

If you sell salt at this time, you really don't know whether you are alive or dead, so you have to stick to the route of making salted fish and selling salted fish.

Han Cheng told Dawa and his mother about his guess, and Aunt Luo didn't say anything for a while.

"Cheng... Brother Cheng, if this salt and salted fish are not there, let's not get them, right? ”

The people who live in this land may not know who the county is, but they must know which Jinyang Wang's family is.

Although Mayi County is far away from Jinyang, and there are only some side branches of the Wang family in Mayi, and the main branches are in Jinyang, the influence of the thousand-year-old family is really not for fun.

Not to mention anything else, just look at Aunt Luo, who was still elated just now, after hearing Han Cheng say that this salt panic is very likely to have something to do with the Wang family, he has the idea of not touching salt and salted fish, and he can have a preliminary understanding of how strong the influence of the Wang family is in this land.

It is impossible to give up that salt mine and not make salted fish.

Now that the fertile land on which the two families depended on their lives has been replaced by a wasteland that has no use except for making salt to make salted fish, if they give up making salt and processing salted fish, then the two families will really have to wait to eat the wind and fart.

"Auntie, don't worry, we don't sell salt, we only sell salted fish, there's nothing to do."

Han Cheng said to Aunt Luo, who was flustered, with a smile, and at the same time made up his mind that salted fish should not be too much of an idea.

I don't put salt directly outside, but sell salted fish, and the amount of salted fish will not be released too much, so there should not be much problem with this secret poke.

I just want to run this stormy home well, have enough to eat, make some new clothes for my mother and little sister, renovate the family house, and make up for my sister's marriage, that's all.

As for the salt panic and the Wang family's thoughts, he didn't have the heart to pay attention to them, and he didn't have the ability to pay attention to them.

If the requirements are so low, so careful, and noticed, and not let go by these people, those are a little too deceitful.

After Han Cheng comforted Aunt Luo, he thought in his heart as he walked back.

Although he felt that there should be no problem with such careful management, on the way back, Han Cheng still kept thinking about how he would deal with it if something like this really happened.

After all, he and the whole family are too weak at this time, and any small storm may crush it, so if you don't plan in advance, take into account all the dangers that may be encountered, and come up with ways to avoid or deal with it.
