Chapter 0167: Dilemma

After sending Gongsun Jingyu into Beijing, Li Ang returned to the city, and then quietly went to a cabinet shop not far from the branch of the salt company in Hejiangting.

Located on the south bank of the Jinjiang River, this cabinet shop has a sign that reads: HSBC Money Cabinet.

The faΓ§ade of the cabinet is not large, and there are two tall ginkgo trees in front of the door, which makes the cabinet shop not so bright, and there is not a single customer in the cabinet shop, which is deserted.

The shopkeeper's name is Su Shizhen, about fifty years old, his appearance is not good, only the goatee makes him look more distinctive. In addition to him, there is only one young man named Feng Er.

One of the two sat at the counter and pretended to sleep, and the other lay outside the counter swatting flies, idle.

Feng Er probably had a lot of fly swatters, and when he practiced it, he saw that he slapped it casually, and he swatted the two fly lovers who were stuck together to death.

"Shopkeeper Su, since the opening of our cabinet, except for your relative's deposit of two yuan, there has been no business. And just like that, can you still sleep? ”

Su Shizhen didn't raise her eyelids and replied, "I can't sleep, do I want to swatt flies with you?" ”

Feng Er looked around the entire cabinet shop, and there was not a single fly left, well, there was no only job now.

"Shopkeeper Su, I'm not worried. The wages given by the owner are not less than those of other cabinets, but the business is so cold, in case the cabinets can't be opened, where can we find such a job again? ”

Shopkeeper Su replied calmly: "Shoot your flies with peace of mind, and when business comes to the door, just be diligent." ”

"By the way, shopkeeper, who is our owner?"

"Why do you ask so much? Isn't that a monthly paycheck?"

At this time, the light suddenly dimmed, Feng Er turned around in surprise, and sure enough, he saw a young man walking in, and he hurriedly got up to greet him: "This nobleman." Hurry up inside please, although the store is newly opened, but the integrity of the operation, the interest charged is less than others, noble you choose our store to save money, really have a vision. You please! You please! The little one goes and pours you water. ”

Leon laughed and said, "Fortunately." You didn't swatt me like a fly. ”

"The noble man laughed, how can this be, please, please!" Feng Er was embarrassed and surprised, how did this person know that he had practiced the unique skill of swatting flies with one hand?

Su Shizhen also hurriedly greeted him: "Nobleman, please come inside!" Feng Er, it's rare for a noble person to come, you go to the back and make some tea to entertain the noble. ”

"Yes, Shopkeeper Su. Ladies and gentlemen, you wait. The small ones are going to make tea, and they will be fine soon. ”

After sending Feng Er to the back to make tea, Su Shizhen welcomed Li Ang to a small room next to him to receive distinguished guests, and then solemnly saluted: "Su Shizhen has seen the owner. ”

"Shopkeeper Su doesn't have to be polite, I'm just stopping by to take a look, hasn't anyone come to withdraw money yet?"

"Back to the owner, not yet."

Li Ang calculates the days, and Li Tiezui has been going to the capital to open a cabinet shop for two or three months. So far, I haven't received a single business, which shows that the progress is not very good.

"The owner. If you calculate the distance from Beijing to Chengdu, the average person has to walk for a month to arrive, even if the shopkeeper Li receives the remittance in the capital, it may not be so fast that someone will come to redeem the money. ”

"Hmm!" Li Ang nodded, and secretly sighed at the communication difficulties of this era, what happened to Li Tiezui in the capital. There's no way to know, and it's useless to be anxious. "Okay, I'll recruit some guards for the cabinet shop as soon as possible, and then deposit the money in the name of the whole person. In order to improve the credibility of our cabinet, we will first solicit some savings and then talk about it. ”

"Make, make, to be honest, Feng Er and I are so idle every day, and our hearts are always unsteady. Don't you know, the owner, now these flies don't dare to fly into our cabinet. ”

"Hahaha..."

Wu Xuan wore a hat on his head, covering half of his face, and walked into the Qingyang Shop.

The main hall of Qingyang Taoist Temple, the cigarette smoke is swirling, there are many people who come to incense, and a bamboo forest on the right is lush and green, although there are also visitors to come, but it is much quieter, the autumn wind blows, and the green waves rise and fall.

Wu Xuan's footsteps were obviously a little hesitant, there was an incense cart parked by the bamboo forest, the bamboo forest went deep into an octagonal pavilion, Xiao Luan was dressed in a plain white dress, dancing like a white cloud, fluttering like a fairy.

Wu Xuan stopped when he walked to the pavilion, and said outside the pavilion: "Wu Xuan greets the lady." ”

Xiao Luan turned around, her fairy-like beautiful appearance made people feel suffocated, she seemed to be casually speaking: "Wu Xuan, your steps are very hesitant. ”

Wu Xuan arched his hands, lowered his head, and bowed his body slightly, maintaining a very respectful state, but this polite silence implied the same meaning of resistance.

Xiao Luan secretly frowned, and said softly: "Wu Xuan, I know that Li Ang treats you well, and I can assure you that after mastering the production method of Wushuang Salt, you will never compete with Li Ang in Jiannan Dao;

You should understand that no matter how good Wushuang Salt is, if it is transported from Jiannan to other places, its cost will increase significantly, and the price will naturally be more expensive, and the competitiveness of Wushuang Salt will decrease;

In other words, the sales volume of Wushuang Salt outside of Jiannan Dao will not be very large, and as long as I don't compete with Li Ang in Jiannan Dao, it won't have too much impact on him. ”

Wu Xuan was still silent.

The autumn wind rustles through the bamboo forest, and it sounds a bit like the feeling of a storm coming. Wu Xuan is calm on the surface, but his heart is intertwined with contradictions, Li Ang treats him well, with his character, he really doesn't want to betray Li Ang.

But Xiao Luan in front of him saved his life. As the saying goes: The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, let alone the grace of saving lives?

"Wu Xuan, the Shenglong Society has suffered a very big loss this time, and the entire Hanzhou rudder has almost been lost. It will be more difficult for us to carry out activities in Kennam-do in the future. At present, it is very necessary to transfer some manpower to other places and seek other development. And I, in fact, am just a weak woman, and if I want to control the huge Ascension Dragon Society, there is no viable ........."

"Lady, you don't have to say it." Wu Xuan gritted his teeth, took out a folded piece of paper from his arms, and handed it to Xiao Luan, "I hope the lady can keep her promise and not produce Wushuang salt in Jiannan Dao." ”

"Thank you, Wu Xuan. Although I am a woman, I am not going to do anything that I have broken my word and become fat, and this time, what you have done, the entire Thang Long Society will be grateful. ”

"I don't need to be grateful." Wu Xuan bowed again, then turned to leave.

Xiao Luan looked at his back quietly, Wu Xuan's footsteps became faster and faster, and it was not until he disappeared outside the bamboo forest that Xiao Luan opened the folded piece of paper. The above about the production method of Wushuang salt surprised her, and even more surprised her.

Since she became the head of the Shenglong Society, due to her youth, several elders and the helmsmen of various rudder divisions were not convinced by her, and this is why Lutouguan ransacked Yang Zhao.

Xiao Luan wanted to hand over the position of president more than once, but she was hindered by the fact that she had made an oath when her mentor was dying. Well, now, with the method of making the Peerless Salt, her prestige will be greatly increased......
