Chapter Fifty-Seven: Shrimp in Sauce Sent from Far Away

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan showed their hands, and the guards of the palace also changed their previous thoughts, not only because the two of them worked together to knock one person down, but also because of Xiao Houye's attitude, it was obviously towards the two people, if someone didn't open their eyes and offended two people.

When it was time to go to bed and rest, the guards on both sides knew that they had to take turns to keep vigil without being instructed by others, and even if they were tired, they had to get up.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, as well as Li Xun, don't care about this kind of thing, lying on the ground at will, Li Xun obviously has a blanket and it is useless, not only does he not use it, but the guards are not allowed to use it, but the guards have to burn the blanket, otherwise they will be tired.

The people on both sides knew that there were many mosquitoes at night, so they brought medicine to wipe on their bodies, and it was not yet their turn to hurry up and go to bed.

Some people can fall asleep, some people can't sleep, Liu Shaoqing tossed and turned on the couch, feeling stuffy, so people found ice and put it in the room, but still couldn't sleep.

He knew that it was not because it was hot, nor because he couldn't make so much shrimp paste on the day, but because the people who came over this evening were good news, but he had already been deceived once, and he had to be vigilant enough to persuade the people to come back tomorrow.

He wanted to spend a night thinking about whether this thing would be a trap, if it wasn't a trap, it would be a good thing, and he didn't have to worry about shrimp anymore, he could make shrimp paste with all his might, and use a little method to ferment the shrimp paste in half a month.

The taste will be worse, the texture will be worse, but it doesn't matter, there is no texture and taste written on the note, and he can't find fault with him in this point.

"You can make three hundred jars of shrimp paste, and you are allowed to owe money first, but the price is higher, and the shrimp that can make one jar of shrimp paste costs three times, and one jar of shrimp is nine dollars, and then a hundred jars are enough to complete that requirement, and one hundred jars will cost nine hundred.

Isn't it a bit cost-effective to buy only 100 jars? After completing the requirements of that transaction, not only did he not make money, but he lost 600 yuan, and now the Zhang family's pickling line has 15 yuan and one jar of shrimp paste, and if he buys the remaining 200 jars, he can earn 1,200 yuan.

Remove the 600 guan that was lost, there are still 600 guan left, the jar is no longer valuable, it can not be counted, the salt is boiled, it can not be counted as money, 600 guan, but then it will be 2,700 guan on credit, this money should be calculated as interest, 30% of the interest, calculated on a monthly basis, 810 guan in a month, and 40% of the profit in half a month, which is 540 guan. ”

Liu Shaoqing lay on the couch and said to himself, in the evening, a person who claimed to be from Lianzhou came and brought a lot of shrimp, and wanted to make shrimp paste to sell here, but found that many people had already started to do it, and only collected a thousand jars there, so he wanted to sell the shrimp and buy something shipped from the capital.

The asking price is not low, the price of the shrimp has increased more than tenfold, but who makes the people here lack these shrimps, especially themselves, after some negotiations, with some results, you can owe it on credit first, but you have to pay profit.

Liu Shaoqing has already been fooled once, and he is afraid that he will be fooled again this time, and said that he can buy shrimp to make 300 jars of shrimp paste, and there are two ways to benefit.

Liu Shaoqing bothered about this, one was that he didn't want to buy it, in that case, the money he earned was too little, so he would be able to earn more than fifty yuan by then, except for the money and the money to pay the account with the other side, he must also repay the money in half a month, otherwise he will continue to lose money.

"No, you can't buy this little shrimp, you have to buy more, you need a thousand jars over there, here is to add up to 300 jars and your own to have 400 jars, you must be fast, sell it first, and add 200 jars."

Liu Shaoqing sat up from the couch, turned over and went to the ground, pushed the window open, and didn't care if there were mosquitoes outside to fly in, calculating the account in his heart, and then buying two hundred jars, that is, 1,800 yuan, half a month is 360 yuan, and the shrimp paste can be sold for 3,000 yuan, and after paying back the money, there will be 2,640 yuan left, plus the rest in front, nearly 2,700 yuan.

Only when this number is reached, it is cost-effective, and now I am afraid that the person has left, but he came with shrimp, in case it is bought by others, then he has to think about how to make shrimp paste.

"Someone's coming." Liu Shaoqing, who wanted to take it here, shouted outside, and as soon as the door opened, a person ran in, which made Liu Shaoqing stunned for a moment, thinking that a maid could come in, but the steward ran in with an anxious face.

"Master, no, the shrimp seller has arrived at Lord Jiang's place, and the buckets of shrimp are unloading down, it seems that Lord Jiang has agreed, what should I do? The three of them also know how to make shrimp paste. ”

As soon as the steward came in, he reported to Liu Shaoqing there, and the steward naturally wanted to help the master think things through, and as soon as the person left in the evening, the steward sent someone to follow behind, and he got such a piece of information.

"How much did you buy? How much did you say Jiang Wanshi bought? "Liu Shaoqing regrets this, why didn't he buy the shrimp in the evening, no matter how many shrimp the person brought over, at least after buying it himself, he could prepare for it one day first, and even leave the person to live at home, now it's okay, it was bought by others.

The steward knew that the master was anxious, and said calmly: "Don't worry, master, Lord Jiang shouldn't be able to buy much, I have already sent someone to keep an eye over there, and when the time comes, it will be clear when I come back, and I can even know the price." ”

"Okay, well done, rewarded, wait for this time to pass, I will definitely reward you, that person in your family has not given you a boy and a girl yet, what do you think of the little fish in the courtyard? Pick a good time, accept it, and you can't cut off the incense. ”

Liu Shaoqing was nervous, he felt that this person in charge was good, since he had no money, then give it away, the maid at home didn't give it to whoever he wanted?

In fact, the person in charge has long wanted to find someone outside, not only can the people in the family not be able to have children, but also have a big temper, and they usually don't dare to let others know, so as not to be laughed at, this time it was the old man who opened his mouth, to see if the one in the family still dares to play a temper?

This man, he has to restrain the woman, and if he doesn't listen, he will beat him hard, until he inquires, the steward thought about it, and said to Liu Shaoqing: "Master, then I'll go over and take a look, and come back if I have something." ”

"Go, go, get things done, the little fish is waiting for you." Liu Shaoqing waved his hand.

The steward left in a hurry, but he didn't go to find out the news immediately, but went home to see first, he always had to listen to the words of the person at home before, and if he didn't listen, he would make a fuss, but today is different from the past, see how she makes trouble? Not to mention the fatness, he also points fingers all day long.

"Coming back? You haven't eaten yet, let you send someone out to keep an eye on it, what are you running around? Come in quickly, cook noodles for you, tell you how many times, you are a person in charge of things, don't always run around, in case something happens, you can't find people to trouble. ”

As soon as the steward reached the door, he heard his own woman speak inside, and opened the door, and pulled him in, pressed him to the low wooden table, and turned and brought back a bowl of fish sauce over the water.

The fat woman put the bowl in front of the steward, handed over the chopsticks and said: "I asked someone today, and the medical doctor sent by the Zhang family was found, and he prescribed a prescription, and I got the medicine for two yuan, which was cheap, and everyone said that this medicine was still given by the doctor of medicine, and no one would care about it elsewhere without fifty yuan."

In addition to mine, there is also yours, people said, saying that you used to drink too much, and your body was drunk, even if your life is better in the future, you will not drink so hard, and then the two of us will raise a few babies, there are male babies, and you will keep them for your family to pass on to the next generation, and then there will be female babies, intimate.

Eat quickly, it will be Tuo after a while, this fish sauce, I finished embroidering things during the day, and went to the river dug out by the government to fish, their nets there may be big, and there are a lot of small fish, try it, and I will go to catch some when I have time in the future, and it is good for the body to eat this. ”

"Are you doing too much? A woman's family, what do you run out all day long? What's wrong with my drinking? I don't have the ability to have a baby, and I still tell me about drinking, can Dr. Zhang believe it? I don't know anything about my mother-in-law's family, you can take the medicine yourself, the old man said, you want to make Xiaoyuer a concubine for me. ”

The steward slapped the chopsticks on the table, glared and said, the woman was stunned, thought about it, and said, "That's okay, if it's really me who can't do it, I will be good to Xiaoyuer in the future." ”

"Let's talk about it, I'm out." The steward was impatient when he heard the woman's nagging, and he didn't eat the noodles, so he got up and walked out, and the woman hurriedly took a dress from the side and said; "Change your clothes, it's hot at night, come back and change your clothes, it's easy to get sick, come back quickly."

The steward ignored it, and the figure disappeared into the night.

At night, most of the people who did not go to shrimp fishing were still working hard, the river was dug up, but the river embankment still needed to be reinforced, and this reinforcement could not only use sediment, but stones.

Zhang Zhong slept for a while, continued to sit here, and listened to the old man say that it was going to rain heavily again this day, and the events of the past few days made Zhang Zhong dare not slack off in the slightest, and the place that had just been built could not withstand another impact.

"Quick, tell me to go down, tonight's food will be two meat and one vegetable, as well as wine, and the river embankment must be strengthened within three days, otherwise if it rains heavily, the house that has just been built will be gone." Zhang Zhong was still in a dazed realm, and he just woke up like this.

Someone immediately went over to convey the order, and at this time, a horse came from afar, and when he got closer, he said to Zhang Zhong: "Master, Madam is here." ”
