Chapter 37: It's called the middleman

Wu Bald personally sent Su Ren and the others down the mountain, and actually took Su Ren's hand. Su Ren was very unaccustomed to being held by a big man, and he frowned and shook it a few times before getting rid of it, and then he stayed away and pulled Hawking over and placed it between the two. The ignorant Hawking smirked.

"Su Xianzuo, if this matter can be done, I will be a cow and a horse for you in my life."

"The owner of the village is serious." Seeing that Wu Bald was about to stretch out his hand again, Su Ren hurriedly surrendered his hand: "The owner of the village stays, the kid will prepare immediately when he goes back, you heroes just wait for the good news, with the first time, it will be much easier to do it in the future, you must also prepare a lot these days, and strive for us to make a hit." ”

Hurriedly rolled down Shuangzui Mountain like an escape, and did not stop until the two peaks were out of sight.

Unexpectedly, after Wu Bald and Gou Tianming talked for a while, they immediately became like that. Could it be that there is a lack of women in the cottage, Wu Bald is suffocated. Thinking of this, Su Ren not only shuddered.

"Big brother, are you okay?" Seeing that Su Ren kept turning back, Hawking also looked back and asked.

Su Ren shook his head: "It's okay, this Shuangzui Mountain will send you in the future, remember not to fall into the reputation of our Lao Junguan!" ”

Hawking was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly. Whether it is in the eyes of others or in his own heart, Hawking feels that he is still a child, and it is fresh to run around with Su Ren, and Su Ren is not like Huo Laosi and his wife who talk to Hawking in the tone of an elder. Make Hawking feel comfortable. Unexpectedly, today, Su Ren handed over the matter of contacting Shuangzui Mountain to him, and Hawking felt that he had grown up in an instant.

"Really!"

Su Ren nodded, a wicked smile on his face: "You have to work hard, you will be rewarded for doing a good job, don't blame me for being unkind if you don't do well." ”

"Big brother, don't worry, I will do a good job, and I will definitely let these mountain bandits not dare to think about our old gentleman."

When I returned to Laojunguan, it was already the second day. So many things happened to these two old gentlemen, they closed their doors and thanked customers, and they didn't do business, which made the kindness of those salt merchants who came from other places anxious. If Lao Junguan doesn't open the door for a day, they will lose a day, and many people will leave because they can't wait.

Cui Jiuming, a salt merchant from Zitong, was not fat, sitting in the wine and meat shop opposite Lao Junguan, his body of fat was just stuffed with a Taishi chair, he raised his hand and drank a glass, shook his head and sighed: "I heard that this time Lao Junguan did a lot of things, almost killed, I don't know if those mountain bandits are still nearby, if I can't get salt today, I will prepare to go back to Zitong." ”

"You seem to have said that yesterday." Cui Jiuming and Zhao Ping, who was sitting opposite him, were acquaintances. Zhao Ping is a salt merchant from Chengdu, and both of them are local salt merchants, so they talk a lot more casually. As he spoke, he leaned forward and looked left and right: "Have you heard, the old man who came that day was the Shu County Taishouwen Party, I heard that Su Ren had already dedicated the method of making salt, and it won't be long before this bowl of rice is not delicious." ”

"Really!?" Zheng Guiqiu on the side was from Jiangzhou, and he originally expected to bring back more bags of salt this time to expand his business outside Shu, but he didn't expect such a fork.

"Of course it's true, who doesn't know Taishou in Chengdu, I felt familiar when I saw it that day, but I didn't expect it to be him."

"So, this time could be our last." Cui Jiuming was also anxious. The quality of the sack salt is high, the price is not expensive, and they get back at least half of the profit. If the imperial court really began to produce this kind of cloth bag salt on a large scale, the impact on them would definitely be big enough.

Zhao Ping waved his hand at the two of them, bringing their heads closer together, and lowered his voice: "I also heard that this time it was the mountain bandits from Shuangzui Mountain who cleaned up Laojunguan, and they also came for this method of making salt, and it seems to have something to do with the government." ”

The two words of the government, Zhao Ping said very lightly, almost with his throat. But these two words fell, but Cui Jiuming and Zheng Guiqiu's ears were extremely loud. can do official salt trading, and can know more or less about the things between the government and the mountain bandits. But colluding with mountain bandits for the sake of other people's secrets is despised in the eyes of everyone.

I don't know where Zhao Ping got this kind of inside information, anyway, looking at his appearance, he has to pay attention to it, even if he doesn't. Cui Jiuming and Zheng Guiqiu secretly thought about it, and this time they could get as much salt as they could. It's hard to say whether this thriving old gentleman's temple can be opened again tomorrow, maybe this time they will really be the last time.

The people who ran over to refill the wine of a few people startled the three people who were silent in their own thoughts. Zheng Guiqiu hurriedly waved his hand, let the runner go away, got up and took out a few money and threw it on the table, hugged Cui Jiuming and Zhao Ping and said: "Forgive me, you two, I just remembered that there are still some things that have not been done, and they need to be dealt with, today's meal is mine, farewell!" ”

Zhao Ping followed closely and also left. On the table of the Eight Immortals, Cui Jiuming was left alone, who was stuck in it. Looking at the backs of the two, Cui Jiuming tilted his neck and drank three cups in a row: "All the fucking goods, there are good things competing to rush up one by one, and now the bad things are coming, one is faster than the other, grandpa doesn't believe in this evil, and the person who can make the bag of salt can't even cope with this little thing, so give grandpa another pot of wine." ”

The door of Lao Junguan suddenly opened, and Hawking poked his head out of the door, and at a glance saw the big fat man in the wine and meat shop opposite. Cui Jiuming also happened to raise his head, and the two looked at each other. Hawking doesn't know Cui Jiuming, but Cui Jiuming knows Hawking. A kid who carries a shuttle dart and brings a dozen little children to hang around in Laojunguan all day long, it is difficult to know whether he knows or not.

Cui Jiuming saw that Hawking was waving at him, a little inexplicable, and looked left and right at the store, and he was the only one in the store, and the road was deserted. With a smiling face pointing at himself with his finger, Hawking nodded hurriedly and waved Cui Jiuming over. Cui Jiuming was a little flattered, and hurriedly stood up, but forgot that he had too much fat, and when he stood up, he even brought the Taishi chair. provoked Hawking on the other side to laugh.

Without waiting for Cui Jiuming to speak, Hawking suddenly opened the door and pulled Cui Jiuming. Cui Jiuming stumbled, plunged into Lao Junguan, and almost fell. Before he could stand firmly, he heard the sound of the door closing behind him.

"Little brother, what's going on?" This is the front yard of Lao Junguan, where the salt is usually distributed, and Cui Jiuming has also come in. But it's a little uncomfortable to stand here alone today.

"Good thing! Don't worry, it's my eldest brother who is looking for you and wants to negotiate a big deal with you. ”

"Big deal?" Hawking walked in front, and Cui Jiuming trotted behind: "Is it salt?" As long as Su Xianzuo is willing, I will take all the salt here, and it will be at the original price, no, add another money, four yuan per catty, how about it? ”

Hawking didn't speak, just took Cui Jiuming to the backyard. A group of men and women under a big locust tree in the backyard include Huo Laosi, who is in charge, Leng Yue, who keeps accounts, Hu Ji, who makes coarse salt, Huo Qian, who processes cloth bag salt, and even Huo Zhilan, a little girl who originally sold a big bowl of tea outside, and Leng Jundao, who has never smiled. These people, led by Su Ren, sat around a table of eight immortals.

Cui Jiuming had no bottom in his heart, and a pair of small eyes kept sweeping over the faces of several people, but he didn't dare to look at Leng Jun and Su Ren.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're Cui Jiuming, a salt merchant from Zitong, right?" Su Ren looked at this person for a long time, put away his serious face, and put a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Move a Taishi chair for Mr. Cui, we have something to talk about." ”

The winter in the south is also a bit cold, but Cui Jiuming was sweating, sat on the chair tremblingly, and arched his hand at Su Yiyi: "I don't know what happened to Su Xian Zuo looking for it?" ”

"Business, of course, is business! In the future, I am going to distribute my salt to one company on a fixed basis, and other people who want to get salt can only go to that one. ”

Hearing this, Cui Jiuming swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously. Although Su Ren dedicated the method of making salt to the imperial court, who knows when the imperial court will be able to figure it out. Even if the imperial court made a bag of salt, after layers of exploitation, even if the quality is not reduced, the price will definitely rise. Therefore, although the profit from Su Ren is a little less, it is much stronger than the real official salt.

"I don't know which one Su Xianzuo is going to give this bag of salt to distribution?" Cui Jiuming asked very carefully, for fear that Su Ren would say something he didn't want to hear.

"I've been closing the store for the past few days just to see who is really willing to do business with me, originally I was optimistic about three of them, but just now, I changed my attention."

Cui Jiuming let out a sigh of relief, and he was already excited in his heart. It's a good thing I didn't leave just now, otherwise, hehe, those two stupid people. The general distribution of this bag of salt seems to have fallen on his head.

"I'm going to hand over the general distribution to Mr. Cui, but I don't know ......"

"Okay, good, I'll do my best!" The flesh on Cui Jiuming's face was trembling, if he wasn't stared at by so many people, it would be possible to dance with his hands.

"But I have a condition, saying it's a condition, but it's not actually a condition."

"Su County, please speak, as long as you can do it, you will definitely do it."

"That's right, this salt thing has been put on track, and now Mr. Cui is also going to distribute it, so I'm going to get involved in something else, such as silk, pottery, and even grass, as long as it's something produced by my big man, the goods must be good, the price must be fair, and it is best to have goods that are easy to transport and store."

Cui Jiuming faintly had a strange feeling, if he didn't make a good bag of salt, he wanted to sell these things that didn't make money, I don't know what Su Xianzuo was thinking in his head? However, Su Ren had just given him a surprise, and he could only listen to it at this time.

"I'm going to do this, how about Mr. Cui take salt from me, pay half of the copper money or gold and silver, and bother Mr. Cui to help me buy some goods? Of course, I can afford this round-trip transportation. ”

"No, no, Su Xianzuo is polite, I also need vehicles to transport salt back and forth, since Su Xianzuo needs these goods, I will do my best." Although Cui Jiuming is fat, his brain is not stupid, and he seems to have learned something from it.
