Walking in the city, Wei Shuo couldn't help but look around with curiosity, and found that the narrow streets were lined with vendors selling things, and the streets were full of people coming and going.

"I didn't expect that this small county town is quite lively!"

"Hehe, the county is the location of the county office, so it is more prosperous than the general county seat, if you have the opportunity to go to Linzi or Luoyang, I'm afraid it will be more prosperous than here." Zhang Dalang explained with a smile.

Speaking of Luoyang, Wei Shuo couldn't help but sigh, in his memory, in his memory, it won't be long before the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty will be destroyed by the Huns in the north, and tens of thousands of Li people will die. But he can't afford to mix up such a major event at the moment, and the most important thing at present is to open the market for refined salt, and strive to make the people living in Laoshan rich as soon as possible.

It can be seen that Zhang Dalang is very familiar with everything in the county, and he took Wei Shuo and Zhang Erlang to a salt store with three crutches. There was a guy standing at the door of the store who was soliciting customers, Wei Shuo looked inside, and found that there was a bookkeeper sitting behind the counter, only the shopkeeper was nowhere to be seen, thinking that the other party was not in the store at this time and had something to go out.

Zhang Dalang tightened the package on his back, the three of them glanced at each other, and walked towards the salt shop. The guy at the door seemed to have seen a lot of people like Zhang Dalang, so he was not surprised, but he just rolled his eyelids up and down and stopped paying attention to the other party, obviously he didn't think that Wei Shuo and the three of them were the ideal big customers.

Wei Shuo and the three of them didn't care, they walked past the guy guarding the door and went straight inside. There were sacks on the counter, all of which were table salt, Wei Shuo stepped forward to take a look, and found that most of the salt in them was not as good as what Zhang Dalang had exchanged from Second Uncle Yang's house.

It seems that Second Uncle Yang didn't say much, there was only a very small part of the salt in the sack in the salt shop, and its quality exceeded that provided by Second Uncle Yang, but it was still inferior to Wei Shuo's purified refined salt, so Wei Shuo and the three of them were relieved.

The guys outside saw that Wei Shuo and the three of them didn't buy anything after they came in, but only touched around the counter, and couldn't help but remind: "Ahem, I'm sorry, a few guest officers, the salt in the sack can't be touched with your hands casually, you just need to tell the little one what you want." Don't look at our store is not big, but the largest salt shop in the county has always been a childless and fair price. ”

"Man, how do you sell salt here?"

"Ordinary salt, ten dollars a catty, the quality over there is slightly better, about thirty dollars a catty, I don't know how many guest officers can match?"

"I wonder if you have green salt here?" Wei Shuo observed for a while and didn't find the location of the refined salt, but suddenly asked.

"Green salt?" The man's eyes widened, and he looked up and down at the three poor sours in front of him, he couldn't believe that they could afford green salt, he rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "I said that you won't come to entertain us, not to mention whether we have green salt in the store, just say that you can afford it at the price of green salt?" ”

"You ......"

Wei Shuo grabbed the impulsive Zhang Erlang, and then looked at the guy with a smile and said: "Hehe, man, you're right, we really can't afford green salt, but I don't think your store is a big deal, I didn't find a little green salt just now." ”

"You know what! How do you know that we don't have green salt in our store, if it weren't for the Huns, green salt would have been on the market a long time ago. Forget it, I can't understand it with you bitter haha. I said, do you want to buy this salt? If you don't buy it, leave quickly, and don't delay our business. ”

"Well, don't be unreasonable, as the saying goes, everyone who enters the door is a guest, how can you drive the guests out?"

While everyone was making a lot of noise, the bookkeeper who was sitting at the counter spoke. I saw him put down the abacus in his hand, raised his head and scolded the guy twice, and then continued to bury his head in the account book.

"Tell me, what kind of salt do you buy?" The guy stopped complaining when he saw that the account room was talking, but he still looked listless. After all, retail investors like Zhang Dalang and the others are not very attractive to him at all, first of all, under normal circumstances, the other party's purchase volume is small, and secondly, even if he is diligent, it is impossible to get a reward.

"Man, let's be honest, we're not here to buy salt, we're here to sell salt."

"Selling salt? Oh, so you're smugglers, I see. ”

Listening to Wei Shuo's words, the guy showed a look of understanding, obviously he was familiar with such a situation. In fact, with the flood of illicit salt, salt shops around the country have more or less secretly purchased illicit salt. The price of private salt is lower than that of official salt, but the price sold in the store is the same, which means that the same amount of private salt is more profitable than official salt.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the guys in the store will not report to the official when they encounter retail investors who sell illegal salt, but will quietly buy the private salt in the hands of retail investors at a relatively low price.

"Take out your salt and let me see, if it's of good quality, we'll buy it at a relatively high price."

Zhang Dalang untied the package, placed it in the open space of the counter, and then carefully opened the package. But he didn't know that his cautious appearance fell into the eyes of the guy and became a bun who had never seen the world, but how could he understand Zhang Dalang's feelings of gains and losses.

As the package was opened layer by layer, the refined salt finally revealed the true face of Lushan, and the snow-white color suddenly blinded the guy's dog eyes, only to see him exclaim, staring at the refined salt in the package with an incredible face.

"This, this, this, this is green salt?"

"What, Qingyan?"

The bookkeeper, who had been sitting at the counter, was also alarmed, and saw him put down the account book in his hand, and came to the counter in three steps and two steps, only to see the lump of white green salt lying there quietly.

The bookkeeper dipped his hand in a little salt and put it in his mouth to taste it, closed his eyes and tasted it carefully for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes, and a fine light shot out of his eyes, and he exclaimed: "Sure enough, it's green salt!" ”

"I don't know where the green salt of the guest officers came from, and how much stock do they have in their hands?" The bookkeeper pondered for a moment and stared at Wei Shuo and the three of them and asked, and then he said to himself: "Less than a few guest officials, the whole Qingzhou is short of green salt at the moment, like this, there is already no price in the city, that is, there will be goods in a big city like Linyi, but that little amount of goods is not enough for the daily consumption of the local families in Qingzhou." ”

"Doesn't that mean that how much green salt there is now, Qingzhou can digest as much as possible." Even Wei Shuo didn't expect that the entire Qingzhou was in such a desperate need for refined salt.

"That's right, the price of this green salt has risen to an incredible level right now, and even so, there is not much green salt in Qingzhou. After all, although our Qingzhou is full of sea salt, it rarely produces green salt, and the quality of this sea salt cannot be compared with green salt. ”

Mr. Bookkeeper stared at Wei Shuo intently, he had made up his mind, no matter how many goods the other party had, he was ready to eat it, after all, the price of green salt would only get higher and higher with the arrival of the war, and no matter how you look at it, you will not lose money.

"Hehe, I'm sorry to disappoint the old gentleman, we also spent a lot of effort to get such a little green salt, where can the Zhuang family eat such an expensive thing on weekdays, just want to sell it at a good price to subsidize the family."

Wei Shuo categorically denied that he still had a stock of green salt in his hand, and at the same time deliberately exaggerated the cost of making refined salt, so that he could take the initiative in the next negotiations and dispel the greed of some people.

"You mean to say that you made this green salt yourself?"

Although Mr. Bookkeeper was a little disappointed with the amount of green salt, he couldn't help but get excited when he heard that Wei Shuo could make refined salt, if they could get a stable supply of green salt, their store would continue to sell green salt to the outside world in the future, so as to obtain a long and high profit.

"Yes, we do boil the green salt, but because of the cumbersome and complicated process, coupled with the high cost, we do not have the ability to get more production, if your store is interested in buying, we can sign a cooperation agreement, and in the future, the green salt we produce can be handed over to your store for sale.

"Can you sell us the recipe? We can buy it at a high price. The bookkeeper asked reluctantly.

Faced with the other party's unrealistic fantasies, Wei Shuo refused without hesitation, and he clearly made it clear to the other party that they only sold finished green salt to the outside world for the time being, but it was impossible to sell salt making methods. After a war of words, in the end, the refined salt brought by Wei Shuo and the three was sold at a price of 200 yuan per catty, and they will all be traded at this price in the future.

When Wei Shuo and the three walked out of the store with the usual money, the two Zhang Dalang brothers felt that they were walking lightly, according to the price of ten yuan per catty of ordinary salt on the market, after making refined salt, its price increased nearly 20 times, huge profits, absolute huge profits!
