An unexpectedly hot scene, when the brothers are busy!

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper wearing a green cloth robe squeezed into the crowd. He came to the side of the brothers, looked at Li Di and the brothers, and asked in a kind tone: "Young shopkeeper!" How do you sell this salt? ”

Li Biao looked at it fixedly, this person was dressed in green clothes, with a long shirt at the bottom, a thin figure, a dark and thin face with high cheekbones, and a pair of sharp eyes flashing under the two thick sword eyebrows, looking at himself with a bright eye; And those more than five feet tall all reveal shrewdness and ability! When Li Biao looked at it, he happened to look at him, and he even felt that the other party's slightly bent body still obviously covered his head.

"Listen, shopkeeper! Sea salt is fifty wen a catty, this is genuine Cantonese salt. Look at us, covered in dust, we just came back from Guangdong and didn't stop before we stopped! Li Biao was also not restrained, and without waiting for his brother who was weighing to react, he introduced his goods endlessly.

"It's hard!" The shopkeeper in Tsing Yi also answered quite understandingly.

At this time, there were people in the crowd who knew him, and they didn't know how to say haha: "Aha! Isn't this the king's shopkeeper? How? Do you also buy salt when you run a tea shop? ”

"Well, isn't salt used for pickling refreshments on the counter?" The middle-aged man known as the king's shopkeeper replied.

"That's right! The amount of people coming and going is large, which is comparable to our small households! Everyone echoed in unison, thinking that they were inferior in their hearts, and this was the big customer.

"Yo! You are the king's shopkeeper, thank you for your care! Thank you for your attention! Li Biao greeted the shopkeeper Wang. He thought in his heart that since there was a shopkeeper's patronage, he must be a big customer! In order to sell his private salt earlier, he didn't care who had reminded him just now. But he knew that for this kind of thing, as long as he was careful, he should be fine.

At that time, Li Di, who was being left to dry, looked at his younger brother lovingly while busy with the weighing rod in his hand, and his face couldn't help but show a look of approval. It's only been a few years, and I can't imagine that my younger brother is much more productive than myself. The mouth that can speak, the strength that can run and jump, is like Yuan Haiye when he was young! Don't look at him as a teenager, but he can be in charge of the world.

Li Di sees it in his eyes and is happy in his heart! It is the age of life, but as long as this restless youth is used on the right path, it will definitely get ahead. In his eyes, his younger brother must be higher than his own heart, he dares to fight, this is actually the hope of the family! And his enthusiasm for treating people seems to be his own a few years ago, although he is not a few years older than him, but he is confused in his heart, and it seems that he is no longer young. He was still thinking that when he went home this time, with the money earned by his brothers' hard work, he should be able to fulfill his parents' wishes. - This is going to tell myself about my daughter-in-law, and I have to let my younger brother learn all the things that set up stalls to make money in the future. Since my brother can be on his own, why don't I be idle! Therefore, he saw that the shopkeeper Wang was talking to his younger brother, and he was willing to stand as a supporting role and stand idly by.

At that time, Li Di was contemplating. The man in Tsing Yi, who was called the shopkeeper of the king, said again, "Thank you for the love!" How much salt do you have here? ”

Li Biao was a little vigilant, he pointed to the two loads of seafood in front of him, and said vaguely: "There is not much salt in the Communist Party, and we have brought so much seafood." Think about it, these things are thousands of miles away from us, a burden and a pick, this coolie makes a living, we can't move if we pick too much! ”

"That's right,—— can you sell me more of the rest now?" Of course, Shopkeeper Wang understood Li Biao's tactfulness, but he still asked tentatively.

But this question made Li Biao feel good in his heart. He thought to himself, this time there is a play! This king's shopkeeper is really a great patron, according to his meaning, isn't there as much as he wants?

But he still said quietly: "There shouldn't be much left, just now, the villagers you have one or two of him, and it is estimated that more than half of them have been sold, but I don't know if you want all these kelp......

Li Biao said half a sentence while staring at the shopkeeper Wang.

The shrewd shopkeeper Wang naturally understood what Li Biao meant, so he replied happily: "That's okay, when the villagers buy the leftovers, you can pick all the remaining seafood for me to the 'Wang Ji Teahouse'." I'll ask for it as well, but the price is discounted! ”

Li Biao hesitated for a moment, and said with some reluctance, "The price, we will also make some money, which is not as high as the profit of the king's shopkeeper...... You see, it's all here, we haven't drunk the hot tea yet, so we can't be busy......"

Shopkeeper Wang looked at the shrewd Li Biao, and then at Li Di, who seemed to be his brother who was staying on the side, and smiled and said, "It's okay, I won't cut your price, but I have to work hard for you to deliver the goods to your door." My small shop is on Shihu Street on the right side of the East City Gate, and you are not far from the past, you see that I didn't bring a basket when I went out, and I was not afraid of your jokes, and I didn't bring much money. - If you don't dislike it, when you get to the counter, I can still have enough hot tea and hot rice. ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Li Biao thanked the shopkeeper Wang repeatedly.

He turned to his brother Li Di again and asked, "Brother! Let's sell them together, maybe grandpa and they are in a hurry at home. ”

"Even if you say it, you still talk to my brother about so many rules!" Li Di saw that his brother was so capable, and he was naturally relieved.

"Okay!"

Li Biao readily agreed to go to the king's shopkeeper, and the brothers quickly cleaned up after the last customer was traded. You know, retail is better than selling whole, not to mention the same price! Although thanks to the care of those villagers, they also sold some, but when will it be sold for one or two or three dollars? How could they not be happy about the arrival of a great patron.

At this time, the brothers were happy in their hearts, they sorted out the burden, and there were only thirty or forty catties left, so they could simply pick it up alone.

Li Biao was about to pick up the salt burden, and when he saw his brother, who was a little hesitant, he clenched the money bag tightly with both hands, and looked like he wanted to say something. He immediately understood what his brother was thinking, he was worried about his family, and there was something more important waiting for him. So he said bluntly: "Brother! You should go back first, so that you can give your parents a letter of approval, so that they don't worry, just have me here. ”

Li Di looked at his sensible younger brother, and he also thought that in this small mountain town in his hometown, he didn't need to accompany him. But he still said in his mouth, "Can you afford it?" - If you want to, I'll go back! ”

Li Di said obviously insincere words, and seeing his younger brother's expression, he left with peace of mind.

Li Biao smiled at his brother's back. He knew that his brother could rest assured that he could buy and sell, but he couldn't worry about the family! And the most important thing is that his brother has to go back quickly, and his grandfather has already decided to take him to Xinlin Town on a blind date today before they go out to sell salt. This has come all the way from Daya Bay, and he knows that his brother has been calculating the itinerary in his heart all along. At first, I thought I wouldn't be able to catch up, but now that the salt has been sold and the money has been earned, why don't I go to the king's shopkeeper alone with the salt; Let my brother go home early, he can rush home before noon, and he can fulfill his grandfather's promise to others.

Li Biao thought about this, and he couldn't help but feel very relieved. Luckily, with a good buyer, everything went smoothly. He picked up the burden and walked towards the "Wang Ji Teahouse" with the shopkeeper Wang.
