Chapter 11: Salt Dealers

With memory, Su Ren led the way. Just ten days ago, the brine spring was quickly found.

It is indeed a good brine spring, and according to Su Ren, this spring is full of salt. Returning to Laojunguan, taking the iron pot and enough food for two people to eat in a month, Su Ren and Leng Jun came to the brine spring again. Set up the iron pot, pick up the dry wood, and start working. In fact, there is no special way to boil brine, it is just one word, burn. It's just that Su Ren added a link in the last step, that is, to use burned charcoal to filter the brine.

Leng Jun felt that Su Ren's method was purely redundant, boiling salt was burning, why did he use charcoal to filter. Besides, filtering didn't do anything, at least he didn't see it.

For a whole month, the two of them did two things, cutting wood and lighting fire. When a cloth bag they brought was filled with white salt, the grain was also eaten.

Su Ren stretched his waist, carefully scraped off the white crystals in the iron pot with wood chips, and put them in a salt bag. This is their last pot of brine, or is it boiled out with a lot of effort under the cold and constant muttering.

From the tenth day onwards, Leng Jun had gone insane. At the beginning, Su Ren said very well, the output of salt in a month was only three or five catties, but half a bag had been boiled in just ten days, or one or twenty catties. Leng Jun was a little worried, so much salt was based on three yuan per catty, that is, fifty or sixty yuan, and he could buy back ten stones of grain and rice, which greatly exceeded Su Ren's estimate at the beginning.

However, Leng Jun didn't leave in the end, although he always complained every day, he still took what Su Ren said seriously, chopping wood and burning fire.

"It's always okay now, right?" stared coldly at Su Ren put all the last grain of salt into the cloth bag, and tied the mouth of the cloth bag firmly. A rough estimate is that there are at least 100 catties of salt, which is 300 yuan.

Su Ren nodded, got up and moved his waist: "Okay, let's go!" I'm about to throw up after a month of savages. ”

"This is not three or five catties, at least one hundred catties, these salts are enough for ten villages to eat for half a year!" Leng Jun's words are right, Shuzhong is mountainous, and the villages are very small, with dozens of households, seven or eight small households, and even one or two pocket-sized villages.

Su Ren smiled: "Look at you, what are you doing is such a small family, the more salt we have, the more money we have, isn't this a good thing?" ”

"A good thing? I don't think so, the government will definitely know about the salt for half a year in more than a dozen villages, and if they ask the reason, they will definitely find us, and the killing will be light at that time. ”

"Scared? Did you say it earlier? Just don't come, what's the use of saying such regretful words now? Don't mumble, I've been listening to you for a month, can you clear my ears for a while? With salt on our backs, we go. ”

After staying in the forest for a month, both of them lost a lot of weight, and if it weren't for their young age, I'm afraid that their beards would be a foot long at this time. Leng Yue enthusiastically made white rice and even meat. The two of them didn't care about bickering, buried their heads in eating, washed up comfortably after eating, and went back to their respective rooms to sleep. After a month, the two young people were exhausted, and they slept for a day and a night before they recovered.

Looking at the bag of salt that was hidden under the buttocks of the Taishang Laojun, Su Ren couldn't be happy. Salt production is simple, and selling salt is indeed a problem. Selling illicit salt is a crime of killing heads, and Su Ren doesn't want to be arrested and beheaded by the government before he leaves the mountain. But he doesn't go out, who goes to sell salt. If you don't sell it, it's still salt, and it will never become money.

Su Yi turned his head, and Leng Jun hurriedly took two steps back: "Don't look at me, I will never go out to sell salt, it is already enough to kill the head, and selling salt is confirmed." ”

Leng Jun can't go, and Leng Yue can't go to a little girl. Su Ren sighed: "Okay, you two didn't go, so I had to go." ”

As a novice, doing business is not Su Ren's strong point. The experience of later generations told Su Ren that he had to find specialized talents for everything. The next day, Su Ren ignored Leng Jun's mocking eyes and prepared to enter the county seat alone. I have already walked to the door, and I feel that it is safer to shout Leng Jun, at least when it comes to fighting hooligans, Leng Jun is an absolute thug.

The last time I came to Wenshui County, it was already dark when I entered the city with things. This time, I had something to do with my heart and walked much faster, and the two of them had already entered the city just after noon. Although Wenshui County is small, it is also strictly divided into several regions. The northern part of the city, where the county government was located, was a gathering area for the wealthy, and the south of the city, because of its proximity to the land outside the city, became a residential area for farmers and tenants. The garrison in the west of the city, and the slums in Wenshui County in the east of the city.

The slums are populated by beggars, hooligans, and the snakes who are basically in the east of the city.

Finding people is also a science, not to mention that they are still looking for the kind of people who specialize in illegal activities. According to Su Ren's method, it was to find a ruffian first, let Leng Jun restrain him, and even coax and trick him into taking out some words from the ruffian's mouth. However, the two of them walked around the stinking street, not to mention the ruffians, and they couldn't even see a few figures.

Su Ren's head is big, and he has a deep sense of frustration for the first time since he came to Dahan. Who said that if you cross over, you can hug a beauty and live in a big house. In this unfamiliar place, it is difficult to survive, and it is pure nonsense to want to hug a beauty.

The two of them unconsciously came to the firewood shed where they lived a month ago, turned their heads to look, and the two of them smiled. Looking through the tattered fence wall, the woman was cleaning up in the yard. Seeing these two disciples again, the woman was taken aback. Throwing down the things in his hand, he hurried into the house. Su Ren smiled even more happily.

Just as Su Ren and Leng Jun were about to leave, as soon as the door opened, a strong man with five big and three thick suddenly came out of the house, still carrying a stick in his hand. Behind the strong man was the woman, talking to the strong man in a low voice, and at the same time stretched out her finger and pointed at Su Ren and Leng Jun.

Judging from his expression, the strong man was very angry, and rushed over at Su Renhe Leng Jun with a stick, scolding as he walked: "You two thief boys, you dare to tease my beloved, see that I don't break your legs today!" ”

Su Ren is a clever man, so he turned around and ran. Leng Jun consciously took care of his losses, and he didn't dare to deal with the strong man, so he followed Su Ren to escape. Who knew that the strong man would not give up, and chased after him with a wooden stick. Seeing that he was about to catch up, Su Renhe turned a corner in a daze, and then stopped. There was a dead end in front of them.

The strong man was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and his face was showing horizontal flesh. has already Liqiu only wore a shoulder, revealing the strong muscles of his body, and stood at the mouth of the alley with his legs spread: "Where are you running now?" molested my beloved, and even framed me for money, today I will let you know that grandpa and I are not easy to bully! ”

Although the two of them ran wildly, it did not mean that they were afraid. Seeing that the strong man was approaching, he stood up coldly and said, "Everything is done by me, you want to find me, it has nothing to do with this benevolent brother!" ”

Su Rena called an excited. It's still good for the ancients, they will never betray their friends in case of trouble, if it is the afterlife, at this time, the person concerned will immediately throw the matter on the head of others and get himself out first. Today, Leng Jun taught himself another lesson.

"Humph!" The strong man snorted coldly, pointed at Leng Jun with a stick and said: "Look at you are not good people, a little Taoist boy actually molested women, what Lao Junguan, it must be the lair of bandits, I will clean up the two of you today, and I will smash your Lao Junguan tomorrow." ”

"You dare!" Leng Jun heard that this guy was going to smash the Taoist temple, and he was willing. The little anger in the young man's heart was forced out: "I don't know who is cleaning up who today?" I didn't mean to offend that day, not to mention the compensation of two dollars, you didn't give up, don't think we're afraid of you. ”

The strong man actually laughed, laughing loudly: "Really? Come on, come on, I've played tricks with grandpa, to see who cleans up whom? ”

A stick slammed into the top of the cold head. Leng Jun dodged the big man's wooden stick lightly. Three times in a row, Leng Jun just dodged left and right, and did not fight back. Su Ren looked frightened. Every time the strong man's wooden stick is only a few inches away from the cold, this strong man's strength is not small, if he is hit by his wooden stick, even if he can't die, he will have broken bones and tendons.

When the strong man swung the wooden stick for the fourth time and swept towards Leng Jun's waist, Leng Jun did not retreat but advanced, saw the opportunity, and smashed a fist on the strong man's left waist. The strong man's waist immediately bent down, and he slapped a palm on the strong man's forehead coldly, and the strong man couldn't help but take a few steps back, and sat on the ground with a buttocks. The wooden stick in his hand had already flown out, his hands covering his waist and eyes, and the expression on his face was painful.

The woman suddenly rushed in from the mouth of the alley, and threw herself in front of the strong man, with tears on her face: "The two little sons spare their lives, everything is my fault, beg the two little sons to let my husband go, kowtow to Leng Jun while talking."

Su Ren came out from behind Leng Jun at the right time: "Okay, okay, it's just a trivial matter, we don't want to do anything to you, we just want to ask you a question, and if you answer well, we will give you a few rewards." ”

The woman stood up with great gratitude, and hurriedly helped the strong man lying on the ground to his feet slowly. The force of Leng Jun's punch just now is indeed very strong, and the stone can be opened according to normal times, let alone an ordinary strong man.

The woman hurriedly agreed: "If there is any problem, the little boy asks, and if he knows, he must answer, as for whether there is any reward or not." ”

"I just want to ask, in the east of the city, who sells smuggled salt?"

"Ahh The couple were petrified in an instant, unable to utter a word. After a long time, the woman fell to her knees again, and her head slammed on the ground: "Little boy spare his life!" My husband did sell illicit salt, but it was also forced by his livelihood, and there was really no way, so I asked the two little sons to see that we still have two young children to raise, bypassing my husband, right? Ask for a little boy, ask for a little boy......"

The woman burst into tears, but Su Ren was excited, her eyes staring at the strong man's smirk.
