"Alas"

Before Wu Xiaoqi could say anything, he let out a long sigh. Then, half-paid and silent.

This made Wu Yun anxious, slapped his hand on the table, and stood up.

The Wu brothers, although they were born to the same mother, have very different temperaments. The elder brother Wu Qian is old and down-to-earth, but the younger brother Wu Yun's personality is impatient and irritable, and when something happens, he is a little thoughtless and impulsive.

"I said, brothers, why are you like a girl, crooked. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. ”

Wu Yun roared loudly, this made Wu Gan anxious, for fear that once these people became angry, there would be no way to find out about that matter.

Wu Gan hurriedly got up and walked to Wu Yun's side, grabbed him, stared at him with his eyes, and looked at him again and again.

"Don't be unreasonable!" scolded Wu Yun in his mouth, but his eyes turned to Boss Ma, with a smile on his face, and he apologized vigorously: "I'm really sorry, everyone, my brother is the fastest, he is not sensible, and he is forgiving." ”

"It's okay, when you're away, everyone is friends. Don't say these out-of-the-box words. Wu Xiaoqi smiled, as if he didn't take this matter to heart, and continued: "Two brothers, since we are all sitting at the table today, I won't hide anything from you." ”

Speaking of this, Wu Xiaoqi raised his head and glanced around, and saw that no one in the tavern seemed to have noticed them except for Ji Jinyun. So he lowered his head a little, leaned in the middle of the table, and lowered his voice.

"When we talk about salt mines, we are naturally the ones that every household uses for cooking. Official salt is now seriously out of stock, and you know it. I don't know if you've heard of it, but right now, there is illegal salt being sold in Xishan County and several neighboring counties, and that is our business, which is what our brothers are doing with their heads. ”

"Brother Zhang, you can't talk nonsense about this." Boss Ma listened to it and quickly interrupted.

Wu Xiaoqi waved his hand, picked up the wine glass, and poured a full glass of wine into his stomach.

"Brother Liu, you say. I've been holding this back for a long time. It stands to reason that this salt mine is a good thing that only makes money and does not lose money, and our brothers are playing with their lives, but the boss doesn't pay us this salary, you say, this matter, who is going to put it, it can't stand it, uh......"

Wu Xiaoqi pretended to be drunk and whined.

In the end, Wu Xiaoqi also came to Wu Yun's face and burped a big wine. The smell of wine in his mouth sprayed on Wu Yun's face, making him quickly shrink back.

"Alas, that's right, but this Boss Lin also has a last resort, and we can't make it difficult for others. At the moment, I think that only by selling this salt mine as soon as possible will Boss Lin have the money to pay us. ”

Boss Ma immediately picked up.

The others listened to Boss Ma's words and nodded frequently. Then, they all frowned and sighed softly.

For a while, the people at this big table suddenly lost their voices.

Ji Jinyun, who was on the side, couldn't help but smile secretly when she heard that she had become Boss Lin in their mouths.

The two brothers of the Wu family heard that there was really such a thing as a salt mine, and they smiled happily. Seeing that Wu Xiaoqi was already drunk, he was even more secretly happy in his heart.

Wu Qian glared at his brother, ready to exit, and probed the matter of the salt mine clearly.

"Brother, it's not easy for you. It's such a cold day, and you have to run around. It's hard work, and I can't even get paid, which is a whole thing. The daughter-in-law and the old lady of the family must be looking forward to you. What's going on with the salt mine boss? ”

Filling the wine glass, Wu Xiaoqi put it on the side of his mouth and put it down again. Squinted slightly, pretending to be drunk and hazy. Then he pretended to sigh, and then told all the stories he had made up with Ji Jinyun at home before coming to the county seat.

The location of the salt mine is on the mountain not far from the county seat of Xishan. The salt produced here is called mountain salt, and naturally, this salt mine is different from the origin of those official salts, but mountain salt mines.

The owner of the mountain salt mine, surnamed Lin, has lived in Xishan County for generations. And this mountain salt mine was discovered by Boss Lin's ancestors. In the past, when salt was still sold freely, their family made a fortune from this mountain salt mine. This is the secret of their Lin family, and no one knows it except their own family. You must know that in this Xishan County, only their Lin family knows that there is such a big cornucopia hidden in this mountain. It was only later that the government decreed that salt could not be sold privately. Their family sealed the salt mine and started a small business in the county town to make a living.

Some time ago, the Lin family didn't know who they had offended, and their business in the city was cut off, and Boss Lin's old mother, because of this incident, was in a hurry, and suddenly fell ill in bed, seeing that time was running out. One day, she suddenly said to Boss Lin that her mother's family urged her to go back, and asked Boss Lin to send her back to her parents' house, and she would be buried with her own father and mother in a hundred years.

The family's business was cut off, and seeing that the family had no livelihood, Boss Lin remembered his family's mountain salt mine, so he invited Ma Boss and a few of them to mine mountain salt and sell it for some money.

The mountain salt business is fine, but Boss Lin's wife's body is getting worse and worse day by day. This Boss Lin is a filial son and mother's instructions, so he naturally has to follow. But the mountain salt money he had just earned, in addition to the family's expenses, all of which were hired by his wife, were doctored. Boss Ma's wages are naturally gone.

After thinking about it, Boss Lin finally decided to find someone to sell the mountain salt mine.

It's just that selling salt without permission is a felony. This mountain salt mine, where does anyone dare to take over. Besides, I don't dare to sell it blatantly.

Therefore, this matter has been shelved here, and Boss Ma and the others can't get paid, that is, they can't go home for the New Year.

On that day, Ji Jinyun's mind flashed Li Qi's face, and he even thought of his eyes shining in the tavern when he heard Boss Ma talk about private salt, and only then did he turn such a thought in his heart.

Since Li Qi is so interested in private salt, he must have a plan in his heart. After discussing with Wu Xiaoqi for a long time, Ji Jinyun came up with this method.

Wu Xiaoqi was drunk, and he didn't say anything, but it was only under the constant explanation of Boss Ma that the Wu brothers heard the truth of this matter clearly.

"Brother, you say, are we easy? Uh......"

In the end, Wu Xiaoqi burped, smiled, and leaned in front of Wu Gan's face.

Wu Gan laughed dryly, nodded his head again and again, and then glanced at Wu Yun, lied that there was something at home, and said goodbye and left.

When the news arrived, Wu Xiaoqi and Boss Ma naturally knew how to retreat, and they pretended to hold a few words, and then gave up. Looking at the backs of the Wu brothers' hurried faces, smiles appeared on the corners of their mouths.
