Old man Liu gave Qin Ze three days, and now that the time is up, Qin Ze naturally wants to go on an errand. Erhu and Mangniu followed him, each carrying a wooden basket with more than 20 catties of salt in it.

After Qin Ze's three days of intentional "showing off his wealth", now the people in the entire Liumu Village know that the new businessman can conjure salt out of thin air. And this person is still a little stupid, he didn't see a few pieces of broken iron for Liu Laosan, so he changed it for such a big bag of salt.

Therefore, the people of Liumu Village are also ready to do business with Qin Ze. And this is better, Qin Ze has done so much just to dispel the other party's idea of using force, as long as they don't want to grab it, it's easy to do.

deliberately made a big circle, and Qin Ze and the others came to Old Man Liu's house. It is worthy of being a village owner. His house has two entrances and two exits, presenting a Japanese-shaped structure. There is also a large open space in front of the door, on which several rows of large trees are planted. Some leisurely old people are sitting in the shade of the trees chatting nonsense.

And unlike the bustle in front of the door, the house is extremely deserted. Because Old Man Liu is now alone, and he is the only one living in such a big house, he knows how empty it must be when he thinks about it.

But these obviously don't have to worry about Qin Ze, when he came with Erhu and Mangniu, Old Man Liu was already waiting in front of the door.

"Don't come to the master of Liuzhai unharmed, Qin has fulfilled his promise." Qin Ze bowed down and saluted Old Man Liu, and then gave Erhu a look.

Erhu and Mangniu reacted immediately, and carried the wooden basket to Old Man Liu. Then he lifted the burlap covering it, revealing the salt of the white flowers.

Old man Liu looked at the salt in the wooden basket, grabbed a handful of it simply and rudely, and then stuffed it straight into his mouth. Although Qin Ze had seen this situation several times, he still felt uncomfortable when he saw Old Man Liu like this.

"The lord of Liuzhai didn't invite Qin into the house for a while?" Qin Ze smiled at Old Man Liu, his eyes already beginning to look around.

Old man Liu looked at Qin Ze, a smile appeared on his face, he arched his hand at Qin Ze, and then turned around and walked towards the house.

Qin Ze was also a little amused when he saw Old Man Liu's appearance, and said in his heart: "Let you have nothing to eat with salt, now it's okay, you can't speak, right?" ”

It is a very bad feeling to sit on the ground in Liujiazhai, because although there are no trees to shade it, it is a little damp after all. Even if there is a thick layer of animal fur as a mat, it is still very uncomfortable.

It is necessary to make the chair, otherwise if you sit down like this, you may get sick.

"Little Lao'er doesn't have tea here, so don't dislike Qin Gongzi." Old man Liu also recovered at this time, and made a cup of tea for Qin Ze with a smile.

"Liuzhai's master is serious, Qin is just a rough person, and he can't afford this thing like tea." Qin Ze picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, and said softly.

When Old Man Liu saw Qin Ze like this, he was also noncommittal. But he grabbed a handful of salt from the wooden basket, threw it straight into the tea, and then drank it all with a lift of his neck.

This scene only saw Qin Zezhi grinning, it was really the posture of Old Man Liu, as if he hadn't eaten salt for hundreds of years.

"This salt is of the third grade, and the inferior salt is bitter and boring, and it is also uncomfortable to eat on weekdays. This medium salt is bright and clean, and it tastes very pure and tastes more pure. And this best green salt is as white as snow, and I heard that only high-ranking officials and nobles can use it. Old man Liu grabbed a handful of salt and said leisurely: "This is the best green salt that Qin Gongzi took out, don't you feel that you are at a loss because of the exchange method of this catty of salt and five catties of iron?" ”

When he came, Qin Ze knew that his little caution couldn't hide from Old Man Liu's eyes. Although he was also funny in his heart, after all, Qin Ze had never heard of the fact that this salt could still taste pure taste.

However, now that the other party has already figured it out, Qin Ze no longer dodges, but laughed and said: "Although this green salt is precious, it is not very difficult for Qin, as for how to exchange it, it is just a whim." Qin has just arrived, so he naturally wants to make friends with everyone, and there is nothing else. ”

Qin Ze poured another cup of tea for Old Man Liu as he spoke, and he also followed his example and grabbed a handful of salt and threw it in. Then he handed it over and said: "Don't hide it from the owner of Liuzhai, what Qin did with others before was a salt business. It's just that because of the war, all the goods were confiscated. I was almost caught, and now that I am staying in Liumu Village, I will naturally not miss the owner of the village to drink tea. ”

"But what if I don't just want to drink tea?" Old man Liu took the teacup from Qin Ze's hand and said lightly.

This time, he didn't drink it all, but took small sips.

Qin Ze didn't understand the meaning of Old Man Liu's words, and smiled confidently at the moment: "Qin's ability is limited, so he can only let the owner of the village drink a cup of tea, if he wants to do something else, I'm afraid he can't do anything." ”

That's where it's troublesome to talk to smart people, and it's always like you're going to stop when you have a point. If it is to communicate with ordinary people, Qin Ze will definitely tell the other party clearly, don't try to beat me about refining salt, otherwise I will have a fish with you.

But talking to Old Man Liu can't be so straightforward. Although it is a little troublesome, but to be a man and leave a line, it is natural to hide three points when speaking, so it is still peaceful to get along.

Old Man Liu's wise eyes stared at Qin Ze's face, and finally said slowly: "Gongzi Qin is really a businessman? ”

"Naturally, it is like a family, and if the owner of the village has any business problems, he can discuss with Qin. As a businessman, I still understand this. It's just that if it's about table salt, then Qin can only let everyone in Liumuzhai have tea to drink. If you want to do anything else, I'm afraid it won't be something that Qin can do. Qin Ze didn't hear the meaning of Old Man Liu's words, but it was impossible for him to tell them the method of refining salt, at least in the current situation.

"Qin Gongzi is now living in my Liumu Village, so he can't say anything about just asking for a cup of tea, right?" Old man Liu is unrelenting, in the acre of three points of land in Liumu Village, he Old Man Liu can be said to be a soil emperor, and his old man's words directly decided Qin Ze and their stay.

People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and Qin Ze naturally understands this truth.

"The method of salt refining is a secret that the Chamber of Commerce does not pass on. Even if Qin is handed over to the lord of Liuzhai, if it attracts people with intentions, I am afraid that he will be burned. Qin Ze drank all the tea in his hand, and then grabbed a handful of salt and threw it in his cup.

Then he filled it with tea, held it to the lord of Liuzhai, and motioned for him to drink it together. It's just that Old Man Liu obviously didn't reach an agreement with Qin Ze, so even if Qin Ze was holding tea, he was indifferent.

Since Qin Ze was able to come to Old Man Liu, he naturally had his own way. Qin Ze categorically would not tell the people of Liumu Village about the method of salt refining, this thing is now the life talisman of Qin Ze and others.

Who can guarantee that after Old Man Liu knows the method, he will turn his face and deny people? So table salt can be given, but the method is impossible to tell him.

Since we can't make a fuss about salt, we have to change directions, such as solving the current problem of grain in Liumuzhai.

Liumu Village covers an area of about 200 acres, although it seems to be quite small. However, there are only about 100 acres of cultivated land, and in this era of extremely low grain production, it is also a little difficult for 100 acres to feed these 300 people.

And Old Man Liu is so desperate to know the method of refining salt, because there is not much surplus grain in Liumu Village now.

You have to ask Qin Ze how does he know?

That's just because yesterday, he accepted Old Man Liu's wish. His wish is very simple, that is, to be able to afford to feed Liumu Village.

The reward value of the wish task is three points, and if it is completed, plus the forty-three points that Qin Ze had before, there will be a total of forty-six points.

That's why now Qin Ze can talk to Old Man Liu so strongly, the greatest wealth for Liu Mu Village is not salt, but countless wood.

That's right, Qin Ze plans to teach them how to make charcoal, which is almost a business without capital for them with such a huge dense forest.

And compared with the heavily profitable table salt, the charcoal business is obviously much safer.

Qin Ze shook his head and put down the teacup by himself. Then he continued to the old man Liu: "The Liumu Village has a hundred acres of fields, but it is not enough to feed more than 300 people. If the lord of Liuzhai wants to use the idea of salt in exchange for food, I still advise you to give up as soon as possible. Although Qin didn't know what the value of salt was in this dense forest, he also wanted to remind the owner of Liuzhai that he was not to blame! ”

"How do you know that my Liumu Village is short of food now?" The lord of Liuzhai looked at him, obviously not expecting that this young man who had just arrived would know about it.

This year, I don't know why, the barley rice production in the whole Liumu village has been greatly reduced, and the price of salt has been rising. Therefore, in the granary of Liumuzhai, the grain may not be able to support the next crop harvest.

That's why the lord of Liuzhai let Brother Jiu and them go up the mountain to hunt, just to store as much food as possible.

But even if there is a lot of game in the dense forest, it can't help more than 300 people in Liumu Village to eat. Now Brother Jiu and they have gone farther and farther in order to hunt.

So when he saw Qin Ze for the first time, after hearing that Qin Ze would refine salt, he would leave Qin Ze without hesitation.

Only now......

"If the lord of Liuzhai is really worried about this matter, Qin has a plan." Qin Ze saw that the time was almost up, so he directly explained his words.

"Planned from An?" Old man Liu couldn't keep his composure anymore at this time, and immediately asked.

Seeing that success aroused Old Man Liu's interest, Qin Ze smiled and took out a small cloth bag from his arms.

When Old Man Liu saw that the thing Qin Ze took out was so finely packaged, he also thought it was something valuable. The moment is to pick it up and open it with confidence. It's just that the moment it was opened, the face of the lord of Liuzhai immediately changed......

It was a black thing, completely different from what the owner of Liuzhai thought......
