Chapter 22 A Mutual Calculation of a Covenant

When he saw something, Zhang Xiaobao was relieved, otherwise he would have to make less money, two thousand stone carrots, even if there was a little moisture, it should be 200,000 catties.

Zhang Xiaobao admired that Song Jinggong a little, where did he get the 200,000 catties of carrots? What is the purpose? What do you think about when you make carrots?

Do you really want to do normal trading? No, if that's the case, then you should find someone to mortgage his shop directly, and it's okay to pay two hundred taels for a store of three hundred taels of silver.

Just when Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were puzzled, the person who came to report the news gave them an answer.

"The little boy of the Zhang family, the little lady, can you eat this thing? It's not as big as our turnips, and it's so expensive, so it won't eat the dead, right? ”

When he said this, Zhang Xiaobao understood, after all, carrots have never been seen here, and the price that he Song Jinggong got from outside should be cheap, it is nothing more than the boat money, but when he found that no one bought it, he was ready to get rid of the things, or cheat some money.

Usually people don't have so much spare money in their hands, most people still try to settle by exchange, who is willing to spend two pennies to buy a pound of small radish, two pounds of large radishes, a penny is rushed to sell.

"He's going to make a lot of money, and his ambition is really not small." Wang Juan also thought of this and spoke.

"He just thinks about cheating, he won't operate, and when we take down the carrots of these two thousand stones, I will sell you three cents a pound, and you don't have to cheat." Zhang Xiaobao smiled and showed two more dimples.

"I can sell it without you, just use these methods, change it, there is always one that can succeed, and the next step depends on whether he will be fooled." Wang Juan also had a plan at this time, and raised his head happily.

"Stop, I'll swing the eggs, light the brazier, it'll be cold in a moment."

On the way from Tuqiao Village to Tan Binh City, Cherry told the driver to stop first, and when the car stopped, she changed the position of the 200 eggs in front of her slightly, and used a brazier to bake the mattress and cover it.

With her greeting, the car began to move forward slowly, driving the handlebars of the thirty-year-old car, and for the past two days it had taken out all its skills, and by the faint light of the lantern hanging in front of the car, the handlebars could avoid any small pothole.

It was not until the horse could no longer walk that it stopped, unloaded the horse, tied it to a nearby tree, and let the horse rest and graze on its own.

"Uncle Wang, your car is really good, and the eggs haven't been shaken too much." Cherry put her hand under the futon to feel the heat and cold, relieved, picked up a few sips of water, and boasted about the handlebars leaning against the tree.

"It's nothing, I've been driving for more than 30 years, I've long been used to it, it's not that I'm lying to you, even if I don't have this lantern, I know where there is a pit ahead." As he spoke, he opened the water bag and pulled out a small bag containing some fried rice from his body, ready to eat.

Seeing this, Cherry hurriedly took something from the two people who had been following the carriage, sent it to the handlebar, and said, "Uncle Wang, eat this, it's all ready when you come." ”

In the light of the lantern, the handlebar saw that there were some cut pork head meat in front of him, and two oil cakes, grinned, and was not polite, took the meat and rolled it in the cake, took a big bite, squinted his eyes, swallowed slowly, and then drank saliva, and squeezed his face full of vicissitudes in a heap, before he said:

"Incense, it's really fragrant, it's still your Zhuangzi, the Wang family's Zhuangzi has to pay a lot of taxes every year, and it's not as rich as yours."

"Uncle Wang, don't say that, the little lady is there, wait, in less than two years, the two of us in the Zhuangzi can eat meat at once, don't dare to say anything else, you can eat as much chicken as you want."

Cherry looked at the carriage, thinking about the chicks that were about to come out inside, and her mood was much more relaxed.

"Okay, just listen to you, old man, I will wait two years, I must eat that chicken, eat it all at once, the eggs on your car can hatch chicks?" The handlebar was also full of hope, and pointed to the eggs on the car and asked with some disbelief.

"Of course I can, I can see the appearance of the chickens inside, and after a few days, there will be chickens running all over the village." Cherry said confidently.

At night, the dark clouds still did not disperse, obscuring the brilliance of the stars and moon.

Song Jinggong was lying on the bed, thinking about what was on his mind, thinking about it, suddenly laughing, and began to say to himself, "What's the use of looking at me?" Do you think I'm going to pick up something in the next two days? Want to stick a stick? I'm not in a hurry, but I'll let you know what's on the ship when I borrow the money in a few days.

Dare to raise the price for me, sleep, have a meal, ask me for 50 yuan a day, give, I will give it, when the time comes, see who cries, that thing can be eaten, why can't it be sold? ”

"Song Gongzi, Song Gongzi, awake? The food you want is here. Just when Song Jinggong was thinking about the process of defrauding money, there was a knock on the door and a question outside.

Song Jinggong turned over, lit the oil lamp, opened the door, and saw the old man standing outside, he felt a little uncomfortable, and ate eggs and scrambled leeks for a while, scrambled eggs with leeks, or radish strips, he couldn't stand it a little.

Today this is to ask someone to prepare some good wine and good food for him, but he was asked to go to six dollars of silver, just this small place, it is enough to order a table of dishes in the small shop, look at the three small plates on the dustpan that the old man is holding, and a pot of wine, no matter how you count it, it is not six dollars of silver.

"Excuse me, take it in." Song Jinggong warned himself not to be angry, he would retaliate in the future, so he smiled hard and greeted.

"Don't bother, Song Gongzi, you pay, my old man will buy it, what's the trouble, I can't sleep this night."

The old man entered the house with a dustpan, put three dishes and a pot of wine on the small table, smiled at Song Jinggong kindly, and turned to leave.

Song Jinggong was indeed hungry, seeing that there were three dishes, he didn't find any eggs fried so-and-so, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and finally could eat meat.

Picked up the chopsticks, found the largest piece, which should be meat, clamped it and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and his face suddenly changed, it was meat, but unfortunately it was not the mutton he imagined, but fish meat, and thorns.

The piece of meat is not small, which means that the fish is a big fish, but the fish is so cheap that it costs six dollars of silver?

Song Jinggong, who was angry, stretched out his chopsticks to another plate, the meat here was small, and when he ate it in his mouth, Song Jinggong didn't get angry anymore, but nodded and muttered:

"Amazing, it was the meat of a big fish just now, and now this is the meat of a small fish, Zhangjia Zhuangzi, I remember."

After muttering, Song Jinggong turned his gaze to the plate of meat that was not too big or small, and he didn't need to taste it to know that this was the meat of a medium fish, which was less than three fish, and it didn't add up to ten yuan, counting the workmanship, twenty yuan was enough.

Resigned to his fate, Song Jinggong picked up the pot of wine, no matter what the taste was, he poured it down, threw the chopsticks, lay on the bed and covered his head and fell asleep.

If it was a few days, just when Song Jinggong thought that he would have to last two days, Steward Zhang personally came to him.

"Song Gongzi, the money has been prepared, I don't know if Gongzi still needs it?" Steward Zhang seemed to be in a bit of a hurry, and before he could catch his breath when he entered the room, he opened his mouth and asked.

"Really? That's really good, Manager Zhang, you have done me a great favor, don't worry, after the matter is completed, I, Song Jinggong, will never forget you. ”

As soon as he heard that the matter of the silver was done, Song Jinggong's depressed mood suddenly cleared as if the clouds were clear, and without waiting for Steward Zhang to speak, he said, "In this case, then I will hand over the deed of my store to you?" ”

"Don't worry, there are still some things in Song Gongzi's shop, I need to wait for a closer look, I ordered someone to bring the silver, why don't you leave today?"

Of course, Steward Zhang knows that he must say everything that needs to be said, otherwise it will be easy to make people suspicious.

Song Jinggong smiled and nodded, he had already thought about this kind of thing, and immediately walked to Sanshui County with Steward Zhang and the person who took the silver.

In the afternoon, when he came to the outside of the store, he looked inside, and saw that the people who usually looked at the house behind him were standing at the counter, Song Jinggong's face suddenly sank, and he stepped forward and asked, "What about Shopkeeper Zhao and Liu Wang?" ”

"If you go back to the owner's house, at noon today, someone came to the store and took a fancy to a jar, and bought it for thirty taels of silver, and said that it was cheap, and they had to invite Zhao Shopkeeper and Liu Wang to eat and drink, so they went, or I went to call them back? Just left. The man replied.

"No need, just eat, you go back, I'll take care of it here, Steward Zhang, this business is busy, wait for the money to be borrowed, I'll close the store, you send someone to watch, wait for me to turn around."

After a while, I will deduct the money from the jar, I can make up for it directly, don't look at the price of the jar just now, in fact, the price of the jar is only 160 yuan, this is the handover? ”

Song Jinggong glanced at the location where the jar was placed, and found that there was a lack of more than 100 yuan, and he didn't care at all.

"Okay, then ask the tooth man to come over, I have all the money ready." Steward Zhang happily agreed, and the person with the silver behind him put the money down, turned around and went to find the guarantor of the tooth, and came back after a while, this time there were four people, after all, there were many things.

According to the detailed account given by Ya Yu at the beginning, after some verification, everything is correct, just when Song Jinggong was about to sign a contract with Steward Zhang, Steward Zhang suddenly pointed to a painting and said:

"It's better to remember to be finer, there are flaws in the painting, in case it's wrong, it's good to prove it, Song Gongzi, let's be a villain first and then a gentleman, if it's bad, you will have to pay three times the money, you can say yes."

After speaking, without waiting for Song Jinggong to say something, he ordered someone to trace the flaws on the painting, and wrote about the burned place, and asked the tooth to vouch for it.

Song Jinggong felt that it was nothing, it was just a painting, and it would be left to them at that time, so he stood aside with a smile, waiting for someone to prove a few other worthless things in detail, and handed over the money with one hand and the store with the other, and it was done.

After Steward Zhang left, Song Jinggong pursed his lips and turned around and walked towards Naluo Shuihe, he knew that someone would definitely follow him.

(In chapter 18 above, there is an error in the place of silver, which has been corrected.) )
