Chapter Eighty-Six: Preparing to Dig a Pit

"Ten pounds of turbid wine to get a pound of spirits?"

When the old man heard this, he stroked his beard and thought about it.

He had only heard about the appalling price of the liquor in the morning, but he didn't know that a pound of liquor needed so much turbid liquor to get, and if so, the price of the liquor was indeed not expensive!

"So that's the case, but the guy surnamed Yu doesn't care about this, he has made up his mind to pit you once this time!"

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Twelve's eyes lit up, he wanted to see what tricks Yu Haojie was going to play.

So the old man told him what had happened in the morning.

It turned out that in the morning, a group of Yu family's servants rode horses to Wangzhuang Village, and then went door to door to explain things, as for the things to explain, it was naturally about Zhang Twelve and them.

Those little guys first said that the spirits sold in Liangzhou Lujia Restaurant were five taels of silver a catty, and everyone was shocked when they heard it, and then they were angry for a while: The wine we worked so hard to brew only sold for 200 wen a catty, and their catty was worth 25 catties, which was too black-hearted!

Seeing that everyone was resentful, those little guys were very satisfied, and then said that the Lu family would come to their house to collect wine, if the people of the Lu family asked the price, they would set the price of one or two catties, if they accepted it, they would buy it, if they didn't accept it, hehe, let them go.

Before, the old man's thoughts were the same as everyone else's, and he felt that the price of this Lu family's spirits was indeed outrageously expensive, but after thinking about it, no, the price set by others seems to have nothing to do with them!

Why are they angry? The reason why they don't make money is all because of Yu Haojie!

Yu Haojie sold turbid wine to the Lu family and the Qin family for 450 wen, which was enough to earn 250 wen, but he did not increase the price for the farmers in Wangzhuang.

So even if he sells it for five taels of silver a catty, it is estimated that he will still give them the price of two hundred Wen!

For Yu Haojie's humanity, the old man is convinced!

Hearing this, Zhang Twelve understood Yu Haojie's intentions.

He deliberately asked the farmers to raise the price of turbid wine to one tael of silver and a catty, which was expected that they would not spend this unjust money to buy it, which can just explain why he didn't send the goods to the Lu family in time - he couldn't send it at all!

I can't collect the wine, how can I send it?

After that, he turned back and collected the wine at a price of 200 Wen, and then sat on the ground with Lu Fujing to raise the price, after all, all the wine was in his hands, and the Lu family had to buy him as long as he wanted to sell it.

This Yu Haojie's abacus is really good, and besides, this person is simply bad!

…………

"Old man, since Yu Haojie is so detaining the farmers, and he also wants to trap our Lu family, why don't we join forces with the Lu family, and we buy wine directly from the farmers? We still give the price at 450 Wen, so that you can also make money, and we don't have to suffer from the anger of Yu Haojie, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

Just like the advertising slogan he heard in his previous life, a certain second-hand car network, individual car owners directly sell cars to individual buyers, and there is no middleman to make the difference!

Isn't that more appropriate here? Yu Haojie, a middleman, not only makes the difference, it is no different from grabbing money!

The old man was also a little moved when he heard this, a pound of wine can earn more than 200 yuan, and the money from selling wine alone is a lot of miles, but he didn't know what he thought of, and sighed and said: "Hey, no! There are people surnamed Yu in this village and outside the village, and this will definitely not escape his eyes. And even if you leave with the wine, we can't go, right? In the future, there will be no hope for this land, so won't it be broken? ”

Zhang Twelve thought about it, it seems that this is really the case, as long as these farmers farm, then they have the handle in Haojie's hands, no wonder he can be so unscrupulous.

What kind of method can be used to teach this Yu Haojie a lesson? Zhang Twelve frowned and thought there.

…………

"Zhang Gongzi, where did you learn the craft of making spirits? Could it really be in the hands of the barbarians in Xiliang? ”

After chatting with Zhang Twelve for so long, he also knew that he and Yu Haojie were not all the way, so the old man was also polite to Zhang Twelve.

Barbarian?

Zhang Twelve suddenly thought of a brilliant idea, and the bitter gourd face just now instantly stretched out, but he still panicked with the old man: "Old man, the specific process is in charge of Master Lu, and I have never seen it from an outsider, but I heard that the master said that he got it by accident, and I don't know if it is true or false." ”

Zhang Twelve has no habit of putting his heart into account when he sees a person, and a little lying is understandable.

Because Xiliang is located in the desert grassland, the appearance of the Xiliang people is still a little different from that of the Tang Dynasty - the Xiliang people are a bit like an ethnic minority, so in the eyes of the Tang people, those people are barbarians and outsiders.

But it was this "barbarian" that made Zhang Twelve find inspiration, and a pit had already appeared in his mind - the pit that was going to be dug for Yu Haojie, and it would be up to him to see if he could jump or not!

"Old gentleman, that Yu Haojie is so unsophisticated, so when he usually comes to collect wine, will the money be given as usual? Or will he deliberately deter and procrastinate? ”

Zhang Twelve asked a question that he was more concerned about.

"He dares! If the surname Yu dares to repent, hehe, he will go to the yamen to sue him to the end! ”

It turned out that this old man surnamed Zhou had a son who worked as an errand in the Taizhou Yamen, and he was a head catcher, every time Yu Haojie came to collect wine, the village would call him to be a witness, so where did Yu Haojie dare to play tricks? The most afraid of being an official in business!

Although he couldn't control the price of Yu Haojie's wine collection that week, he could still manage the normal transaction!

Hearing this, Zhang Twelve was relieved.

"Old Zhou, I have an idea, I don't know if to talk about it?"

"Oh? Zhang Gongzi, the old man sees that you have a kind face, so he just knew everything about you, and said everything, if you have any good ideas, just say it. ”

So Zhang Twelve approached the old man and whispered.

The old man was more and more frightened the more he listened, and when he heard that the key point was "hiss", he took a breath of cold air, looked at Zhang Twelve and thought in his heart: This young man, looking at his kind face, how could he come up with such a damaging move?

Hehe, but it's very relieving to hear!

"Zhang Gongzi, can you take this seriously?"

"Really?"

"But how can you guarantee that Yu Haojie will definitely be fooled?"

"This requires Zhou Lao to cooperate with Xiaosheng to act in a scene, whether it can be done or not depends on how well this play is performed!"

"Acting? But this ...... Where will the old man be old? ”

"Wouldn't it? And ...... this silver?"

"Huh! Isn't it just acting, what's so difficult, the old man just acting! ”

As soon as the silver was mentioned, the old man immediately changed to another person, and said that he couldn't act, why did Zhang Twelve not believe it!
