020 The richest man in Wujiang
A group of figures appeared at the door of Li's salt shop, the first person was wearing a navy blue silk robe, his face was angular, he looked quite handsome, tall, with long flowing hair, about thirty-five years old, exuding the maturity and charm that a middle-aged man should have, giving people a feeling of unforgettable.
This person is the owner of Li's salt shop and the richest man in Wujiang County, Li Cheng.
Outside the door of the store, under Li Cheng's two sword eyebrows, there was a pair of deep-set eye sockets, and the gaze shot out of it was sharp, scanning everything in the salt shop one by one, the eyes were too sharp, not only ordinary people could have, obviously they had experienced a lot of bloody storms.
Li Cheng's arrival surprised Guo Xun and Zhao Ming in the store, they caught a glimpse of Li Afu standing next to Li Cheng, and couldn't help frowning, they forgot the existence of this person, they must have taken advantage of the gap between making tea to go back and call Li Cheng.
And the subordinates brought by Guo Xun and Zhao Ming immediately became nervous when they saw Li Cheng coming, and they unconsciously took two steps back.
It's no wonder, aside from Li Cheng being the richest man in Wujiang County, he is also proficient in martial arts, skilled in archery and horses, and his marksmanship and archery skills are a must.
It can be said that in Wujiang County, and even in the entire Liyang County, Li Cheng's martial arts rank second, and no one dares to rank first.
Although Li Cheng is also a native of Wujiang County, the Li family is not a big family in Wujiang, and the reason why Li Cheng became the richest man in Wujiang County is completely based on his personal ability to work all the way, which is different from the Guo and Zhao families with the help of family power.
Li Cheng likes to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child, and then he worships a famous teacher, and learns a good skill, when it was during the Eight Kings Rebellion, the young and vigorous Li Cheng thought that he could rely on martial arts to win a piece of fame, so he resolutely joined the army as a soldier. He is strong in martial arts, brave in battle, and quickly won the appreciation of the captain, whenever he charged, Li Cheng always took the lead, but in the end, when he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds, he did not get much more than others. By chance, Li Cheng learned that the captain had deducted his military exploits, and in a fit of rage, Li Cheng killed the captain and then escaped from the barracks.
On the way back to Wujiang County, Li Cheng happened to save Sima Cheng, Sima Cheng, in order to thank Li Cheng for saving his life, wanted to keep Li Cheng as a general in the army, but Li Cheng felt that his character was not suitable for being in the army, so Sima Cheng rewarded Li Cheng with a lot of property. Li Cheng returned to Wujiang County with these belongings, bought a village in the city, married his mother-in-law, opened a store, and settled down.
But Li Cheng is not good at management, his business is not very satisfactory, and he has not lost much money, so Li Cheng wants to find a backer, so he thinks of Sima Cheng. Li Cheng's sister is outstanding, she can be described as a beauty, so Li Cheng wants to marry his sister to Sima Cheng. So Li Cheng came up with a good idea, he took the initiative to invite Sima Cheng to his home in Wujiang County as a guest, and then deliberately called his sister out and introduced him to Sima Cheng. After Li Cheng's matchmaking, Sima Cheng married Li Cheng's sister as his wife, and after that, Li Cheng had a backer, began to run rampant, gradually amassed wealth, and became the richest man in Wujiang County in more than ten years.
"Nephew, why are you here?" When Guo Xun saw Li Cheng, he smiled happily and asked in a soft voice.
Li Cheng took a step towards the store, and said as he walked: "If I don't come again, I'm afraid that someone will turn this place upside down." ”
When Li Cheng said this, he glanced at Zhao Ming, just this glance, Zhao Ming seemed to feel uncomfortable, and he kept hiding behind Guo Xun, not daring to look directly at Li Cheng.
Li Cheng walked up to Bai Yuan's side and asked, "Mr. Bai, what's going on?" ”
Bai Yuan leaned into Li Cheng's ear, whispered a few words, and concisely described the ins and outs of the matter to Li Cheng.
After Li Cheng heard this, he sneered: "So that's the case......"
Turning around, Li Cheng glanced at Gao Fei standing on the counter and asked, "You are the kid who sells refined salt?" ”
Since Li Cheng appeared, Gao Fei has been secretly observing him, this person is dignified, can be described as handsome, and this person's aura is full, not angry and arrogant, once he appears, Guo Xun, Zhao Ming and others are a little jealous of him.
If Gao Fei was only a four or five-year-old child now, he might be scared to tears by Li Cheng's aura. But he knows very well what his psychological age is, and he has been crawling in society for so many years, what kind of person he has never seen, he only thinks that Li Cheng's appearance is not like the richest man, but like the boss of the underworld.
"Yes, it's me." Goofy replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Li Cheng said: "I really didn't expect that you could easily sell a little refined salt and stir up the three of us like this." Child, who gave you your refined salt? ”
"No one gave it to me, I did it myself." High Flying Road.
Li Cheng said curiously: "Oh, you can actually make refined salt yourself?" ”
"To be precise, it's refining, not manufacturing. I can turn brine into refined salt. "Goofy.
"What kind of refining method?" Li Cheng asked again.
"Why should I tell you?" High Flying Road.
After Li Cheng heard this, he laughed and said: "It's okay if you don't tell me, then speak with facts, I have brine salt here, if you can turn the brine salt here into refined salt, I will believe what you say." ”
"Believe it or not, does it have anything to do with me?" Goofy asked.
Li Cheng smiled, his eyes narrowed, a sharp look shot out of his dark eyes, and he said slowly: "If you can't convince me that what you say is true, then I have to kill you!" ”
Gao Fei felt the threat in Li Cheng's eyes, and although he only said such a sentence lightly, it was better than someone like Zhao Ming shouting a hundred words there. And he could also feel that Li Cheng was serious, not joking with him. It was only at this time that Goofy realized that he had gone too far, walking on thin ice, taking a wrong step, and it was very likely that he would be doomed.
Rao was like this, and Gao Fei still asked: "What if what I said is true?" ”
The corners of Li Cheng's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, and replied, "Then I can keep you alive because you can help me make money!" ”
This was the worst answer Gao Fei had ever heard, even if he could really turn the brine salt into refined salt, it seemed that Li Cheng had only exchanged it for a chance to live.
Gao Fei began to gradually feel Li Cheng's terrible, and also realized his dangerous situation, as if Li Cheng was warning him that his life was already in Li Cheng's hands, and only by cooperating with Li Cheng could he live.
"How much refined salt do you want to refine?" Goofy asked directly.
Li Cheng said: "You can decide how much, I only look at the results." ”
"Okay, but I need something, and I hope you can provide it to me." High Flying Road.
"As long as I have it, you just have to speak." Li Cheng said.
Gao Fei said: "Bring me a few bowls, get some water, and besides, lend me your robe too!" ”
Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, but still took off the robe on his body and let Bai Yuan hand it over to Gao Fei.
Li Afu also took the bowl and water and put them in front of Gao Fei one by one. Gao Fei took Li Cheng's robe and stroked it gently, only to feel that it was soft and smooth, and it felt extremely good, and it was made of high-quality silk. It's just that this robe is a pity, because he has to cut off a small piece of this robe.
Gao Fei pointed to the gap behind the counter and said: "I want to refine here, I don't want anyone to disturb me when refining, and I don't want anyone to peek, otherwise, I will be distracted, and then refining will not be refined salt." ”
Li Cheng said: "Don't worry, you just do your thing, and no one will disturb you." ”
Gao Fei jumped down from the counter, took the things he needed to the back of the counter, and asked Li Afu to move the brazier, and added some charcoal to the brazier, and asked Li Afu to bring an iron pot and a stand, and put the iron pot on top of the brazier to bake.
Although Li Afu was reluctant, he did it all. After that, Gao Fei drove Li Afu out of his hidden space, and began to refine refined salt by himself.
For half an hour, there was a dead silence in the salt shop, except for Gao Fei's side from time to time, the rest of the time it could be described as silent.
Half an hour later, Gao Fei stretched his waist, took out the refined refined salt directly, threw it on the ground in front of everyone, pointed to the refined salt and said, "This is the refined salt I refined, you can take a look." ”
Guo Xun and Zhao Ming looked over from a distance, and the place on the ground was indeed refined salt, and the two of them looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do with such a scene.
Li Cheng saw with his own eyes that Gao Fei took out the brine salt, but what he took out was refined salt, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, he got closer and took a closer look, and found that this refined salt seemed to be of better quality than the refined salt produced in the capital, and gold and silver treasures immediately appeared in his mind.
Gao Fei looked at Li Cheng and asked, "You should always believe what I said this time, right?" ”
Li Cheng smiled and said to Gao Fei: "Yes, your little life has finally been saved!" ”
Gao Fei can turn brine salt into refined salt, which is a big business opportunity in the eyes of Guo Xun and Zhao Ming. But seeing that this business opportunity was about to fall into the hands of Li Cheng, Guo Xun was aggrieved in his heart.
"Virtuous nephew, the old man will not beat around the bush, the old man's intention today is very clear, it is for this child who will turn brine salt into refined salt. You can stay with this child, but you can't swallow this refined salt alone, right? Guo Xun also jumped over the wall in a hurry, and asked directly.
Li Cheng said: "What does Captain Guo mean, after this kid refines the refined salt, let me give you a part?" ”
