Chapter 12: It's Raining
On the evening of the second day when the grain was sold, dark clouds were thick in the sky over Wannian County, and the cool breeze did not stop.
After nightfall, it began to rain heavily.
The heavy rain did not stop, and the streets and alleys soon became flooded.
On the Chen Mansion's side, Chen Biao looked at the pouring rain outside, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Cui Shaoqing, Cui Shaoqing, you dare to rob Young Master Ben's woman, it's raining so hard now, tomorrow, Young Master Ben is going to see your jokes and see how much of your food has been ruined by the heavy rain."
Chen Biao was very excited, then Cui Shaoqing could owe them a lot of money from the Chen family's grain shop, and he could ask for it tomorrow, if Cui Shaoqing didn't come with so much money, then he had to teach Cui Shaoqing a good lesson.
At the same time, like Chen Biao, there are not a few people who want to see Cui Shaoqing's jokes.
After all, Cui Shaoqing's purchase of grain before was well known to everyone in Wannian County, and it was normal for everyone to want to see a lively scene.
The rain fell all night, and when the sky was bright, it finally stopped.
At this time, there was already stagnant water on the street, which had overflowed the calf.
As soon as the day dawned, Chen Biao led a group of people to the Qinji grain store, and some other people also came one after another.
It didn't take long for Qin Ji Grain Store to gather a lot of people.
"Come out, Cui Shaoqing, you come out for me."
Chen Biao's people were shouting outside, and the lively people on the street were whispering, which was very noisy.
And after Chen Biao's people shouted for a while, Cui Shaoqing finally came out of it.
"Do what?" Cui Shaoqing asked a little puzzled.
Chen Biao smiled and said, "Some time ago, you purchased grain from my Chen family's grain shop and paid a lot of credit, and now it's been many days, shouldn't you pay back the account?" ”
Chen Biao knew that Cui Shaoqing's money had been bought into grain, so Cui Shaoqing definitely had no money to pay him back, and last night there was a heavy rain, Cui Shaoqing's grain must have been flooded, and even if he wanted to use grain to pay off his debts now, he couldn't.
But who would have thought that as soon as Chen Biao finished saying this, the corners of Cui Shaoqing's mouth twitched slightly, and he said very indifferently: "It turned out that I wanted an account, this account has indeed been a few days, you don't come to ask for it today, and I am still preparing to pay you back." ”
As he spoke, Cui Shaoqing sent someone to carry out the money owed to the Chen family's grain shop.
"This is the money owed to you, you can count it."
Seeing Cui Shaoqing bring out so much money at once, Chen Biao was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous, where did Cui Shaoqing get so much money?
It's hard that his grain has been sold, but it's impossible, his people haven't heard that the grain is sold.
Now, Cui Shaoqing has taken out the money, but he can't do anything to Cui Shaoqing.
But such a good opportunity, if you miss it, it will not be good.
"This money is not enough, you were one hundred and fifty yuan on credit at the time, but now, you need to pay me an extra fifty yuan in interest."
Now in this situation, Chen Biao can only play tricks.
"Chen Gongzi is really interesting, when we were on credit, we wrote it clearly in black and white, and we just had to repay one hundred and fifty yuan when the time came, but I didn't say anything about interest, if you do this, wouldn't you want to slander people?"
Speaking of this, Cui Shaoqing smiled lightly: "Actually, the grain in our Qin Ji grain shop has been sold, and we have made a net profit of more than 1,000 yuan, even if I give you an extra 50 yuan, I can afford it, but I am not the kind of master who likes to suffer losses, so there is no interest on this 50 yuan." ”
As a successful businessman in his previous life, Cui Shaoqing knew the importance of the contract, so when he paid on credit, it was written in black and white, and now Chen Biao wants to cheat, he will not let Chen Biao succeed.
However, after he finished saying this, Chen Biao was stunned and shocked, the grain in Qin Ji Grain Store was sold out, and he still made more than a thousand yuan?
How is this possible?
At this time, not only Chen Biao felt that it was impossible, but even those people also felt that it was impossible.
Everyone doesn't believe it, but looking at Cui Shaoqing's appearance, they have to make people believe it.
After Chen Biao recovered, his heart became more and more uncomfortable, he wanted to pit Cui Shaoqing, but he made him make money, how can this work?
"Hmph, fifty yuan of interest, not a penny less, otherwise I will have you good-looking."
Cui Shaoqing shrugged his shoulders and said, "I won't give you a penny of interest, what can you do with me?" ”
Chen Biao didn't seem to expect Cui Shaoqing to give him face like this, which made him a little ashamed.
"Come on, call me, and smash this Qin Ji grain shop for me."
His father is the master of Wannian County, in this Wannian County, there are not many people who dare to offend him, he wants to teach Cui Shaoqing a lesson and smash the Qin family's shop, who dares to treat him?
He's just a scoundrel, a scoundrel as everyone knows, and there's nothing to worry about doing these things.
When the words fell, several of Chen Biao's subordinates rushed over and were about to make a move, and the guys from Qin Ji Grain Store saw this and hurriedly protected them, and the two sides were about to fight.
And at this time, a voice suddenly came: "Cui Shaoqing took the order." ”
This was the voice of a eunuch, everyone was stunned, a little confused, why did a eunuch come?
What is this Cui Shaoqing's will?
After the eunuch shouted, he walked over: "Who is Cui Shaoqing?" ”
Others didn't know what was going on, but Cui Shaoqing understood that it must be Li Ji who offered the secret recipe for refining fine salt.
He didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Cui Shaoqing, the grass people, took the order." ”
The eunuch bowed his head and said: "Cui Shaoqing has meritorious service in the method of refining fine salt, and he is specially rewarded for his Jinshi background, serving as the county governor of Wannian County, and he will take office on the same day. ”
As he spoke, the eunuch waved his hand, and the people behind him brought Cui Shaoqing's county clothes or something.
At this time, the others were still in a state of shock and bewilderment.
What does this eunuch mean, Cui Shaoqing is an official?
Someone pinched the flesh on his face fiercely, and after feeling the pain, he knew that it was not a dream, but after he woke up, he was a little dumbfounded, this is not his own good thing, what are you doing by pinching yourself?
On the other hand, Cui Shaoqing looked calm and accepted the order directly.
To tell the truth, in Cui Shaoqing's opinion, this reward is a bit low, refining fine salt, benefiting the country and the people, but he only gave himself the identity of a jinshi, a county of Wannian County, a county Cheng, just an eight-grade official.
However, he is an official, Cui Shaoqing reluctantly accepted it, he knew that if he wanted to make a fortune in Datang, he could not make less money in business, and he could not be less official.
Otherwise, even if you are rich and rival the country, you are just a lowly businessman.
And just after Cui Shaoqing received the order, those people in Qin Ji's shop had not yet reacted.
"The proprietor is an official? What is the method of refining fine salt? ”
