Thank you, I want to continue to rush upward, please support the collection, recommendation, comment, thank you very much
----
On the evening of the first day of August, Li Meng and Zhao Neng sat outside the courtyard gate and chatted, the reason why they were not in the courtyard was because the courtyards of the two houses were almost full of straw bags filled with salt.
The two of them were gossiping, while looking at the entrance of the village, when the sun was about to set into the sea, the person they were waiting for came, Chen Liuzi and Wang Hai walked quickly from the entrance of the village, both of them were a little excited, Zhao Neng jumped up all of a sudden, waved his hand again and again, Li Meng slowly stood up, Chen Liuzi walked a few steps quickly to the front, and said in a low voice:
"Brother Li, today Xiaohai and I walked around that path, and we saw a few people from nearby villages, and there were no other people."
Li Meng nodded, groaned slightly, and said:
"Come to me tomorrow morning and fill salt here, let's go to Fengmeng Town to sell salt, Xiaohai, you go and tell them door to door, let them all push the chicken cart, I asked them to prepare it seven days ago, and tomorrow, let everyone bring me a ten-foot-long, fist-thick bamboo pole."
Now these people have developed a habit, what Li Meng said, it is one thing to understand or not, just do it, Wang Hai is a child, he doesn't feel tired after walking for a day, and happily runs to each household to inform, but Chen Liuzi didn't leave, Li Meng said suspiciously:
"Liuzi, go back to sleep quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow?"
Chen Liuzi lowered his head there and laughed a few times, and said with some embarrassment:
"Brother Li, I have a cousin, looking at us is very hot-eyed, and begging me every day I want to do it with us, but Brother Li still has to make up his mind about this matter, do you think it will be done?"
Li Meng said with a smile:
"It's just that our own brother's relatives can rest assured, when this trip is done, let me see, just do it together."
That Chen Liuzi saw Li Meng agree, and thanked him happily, this is to go home and rest, the sun completely fell into the sea at this time, at this moment the sky light on the sea and sky was extremely beautiful, Li Meng and Zhao Neng both looked at the sea not far away and did not speak, until the sky gradually darkened.
"Brother Zhao, let's eat meat every day in the future~~"
Li Meng said in a low voice.
In the morning, more than a dozen people pushed the chicken bus to gather at the entrance of the village, Li Meng's words were obeyed by everyone, all holding a thick bamboo pole, bamboo in Shandong is a very common thing, but it is also easy to find, Li Meng also has one in his hand, and being the leader also has this advantage, that is, he does not need to push salt or pick salt, as long as he follows.
According to Chen Liuzi's words, "Brother Li, you lead everyone, and then let you work hard to transport salt, then we will not be ashamed to death." ”
Everyone first carried the salt packed in straw bags to the car in Li Meng's yard, Li Meng and Zhao Neng's yard is not big, and the salt goods that can be collected are not something that these dozen wheelbarrows can transport at one time.
In the past few days, Li Meng sharpened the knife very sharply, and when the knife went down, it was an oblique section, and the bamboo that was originally flat became pointed.
After the salt goods were shipped, everyone took the bamboo pole back, but the bamboo pole had a pointed end in front of it, and it was very long, if it was placed horizontally on the car, it was really not good, but Zhao Neng took a head and inserted the bamboo pole in the middle of the wheelbarrow, which did not affect the movement of the cart.
Because it was about five watches out of the village, when the sun came out, these people had already walked more than ten miles, so early, and it was not the time to be busy with farming, there was no one on the road at all, everyone stopped to rest on the way, Li Meng had already prepared the nest head and salted fish to cushion everyone's stomach.
Coincidentally, this place is the place where Li Meng took the flat pole to kill Yan Ding and show his might, and there were five people who were not present that day, since they were all their own people, there was nothing to hide, Chen Liuzi and these people were very excited to describe to them Li Meng's majestic appearance that day, and these young people were amazed when they heard it, and then looked at Li Meng's eyes were already a little more awe-inspiring.
Get up early, eat well, go fast, there is still some time before noon, Li Meng and his party have already rushed to Fengmeng Town, the Chinese Hou Shan seems to be staying in this direction, seeing a team selling salt coming, he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile to talk.
When he got closer, he saw that there was a bamboo pole on each wheelbarrow, Hou Shan couldn't help but be stunned, thinking what kind of rule this was, and then saw Li Meng walking in front, only to find out that these people who came turned out to know him, Li Meng was still a poor man with a ragged shirt and beard last time, and this time it was obviously much brighter.
There is still a truth to the saying that people rely on clothes, Hou Shan's attitude towards Li Meng was a little polite and respectful, Li Meng was not ambiguous, and handed over dozens of dollars, and said loudly:
"This is today's salt goods, or the old rules, lead us there!"
Seeing that the other party was still so generous, Hou Shan couldn't even see his eyes when he smiled, and bent down and said respectfully:
"Uncle Li, recently, all the roadblocks have been checking the salt, and all the salt merchants are waiting in a hurry, and the uncle's salt goods are not worried."
Of course, these salt goods are not worried, and the content of these sea salt sand and sundries is very small, compared with the salt sent from other places, it can be regarded as high-quality, and there is no dispute about the price offered by the salt merchants when collecting salt. The salt merchants were naturally willing, and Hou Shan led them to the Wang family's salt store.
One tael and one penny of silver, this time it is a wheelbarrow, compared to the shoulder pick is more transported, a total of thirty taels of silver, deducting the six taels of silver for collecting salt, there are still twenty-four taels left.
Hou Shan got nearly 300 yuan again, his attitude became more and more respectful, dealing with Li Meng and others, he earned several times as much as others, and now everyone is familiar with the way, and they are not willing to sell through the Chinese, so they go directly to the salt merchant.
It's still the old rule, you will share the money when you go out, but this time the salt goods, the money for collecting salt is from Li Meng, and Li Meng pays for the exercises and meals on the beach on weekdays, everyone is embarrassed to ask for this money, but Li Meng insists on giving them the money, six hundred yuan per person.
After Zhao Neng and Chen Liuzi received this money, they were all elated, thinking that they were just making some efforts to have such a high reward. It's rare to come to Mengzhen once, these people are shouting at each other to buy something for their families, Hou Shan wanted to leave after getting paid, but was stopped by Li Meng, patted the stones on the side of the road, and motioned to sit down, Li Meng is Hou Shan's big financier, naturally he wants to flatter, Hou Shan hurriedly sat down with a smile. Li Meng looked at those companions who were happily shopping for things, and asked seemingly casually:
"Who are the people who come here to sell salt in Fengmeng Town?"
