Chapter Seventy-Six: A Hot Potato

"Hey, I didn't say this, it was your master Ma himself." After Wu Ming finished speaking, he threw Ma Zhancai a "you should understand" look.

Ma Zhancai suddenly turned from worry to joy, as if he was flattered, rubbed his hands and asked, "I don't know when Lord Jiang will come to our Xiantang Village?" ”

Wu Ming looked around, "Master Ma don't worry, it's just these five or six days, but before Master Jiang comes here, he hopes that we will handle things well, and when Master Ma accepts this batch of goods, it's time to talk about the conditions." ”

"I don't know what the conditions of Lord Jiang are?"

"Let's not beat around the bush, Master Ma should know what the current price of salt is, even so, there are still many salt merchants who can't get salt, I think you Huanxi Town is the same, the timely appearance of these salts will definitely help you make a lot of money." Wu Ming said with a smile.

"Then Lord Jiang wants?" Ma Zhancai asked nervously.

"Master Jiang's requirements are not high, he only needs eighty percent of the profits, I think Master Ma should have no problem." Wu Ming continued to smile without smiling.

"Eighty percent of the profits, this ...... That might be too high. Ma Zhancai said eagerly, "Lord Jiang, this transaction is risky, if it is known, then my Ma family will ......."

"Don't worry, I'm here to authorize your Ma family to sell salt on behalf of the government this time, with the support of the government, what are you afraid of?" Wu Ming still said very calmly.

"That'...... We can't set the price too high, after all, the people don't have much money in their hands. "Ma Zhancai still has some conscience.

"It doesn't matter how much you sell Lord Jiang, but you can't miss a single cut, if you can't meet Lord Jiang's requirements, the lack of money can only be paid by you Master Ma himself."

"I ......"

I thought this was a good opportunity for a million profits, but I didn't expect it to be a hot potato in the end, so I can't get rid of it now, and I don't dare to do it.

Xu saw Ma Zhancai's hesitation, Wu Ming sat down on the chair beside him, and then crossed Erlang's legs and said: "Lord Jiang said, the matter of Ye Chuliang is a trivial matter to him, if she is really beautiful like a flower, Lord Jiang will marry her back to be the sixth lady, and naturally he will not continue to stay in Xiantang Village to harm your Ma family." ”

"I can't help it, if she becomes Mrs. Fu Yin, maybe she will say a lot of bad things about our Ma family in front of Lord Jiang." Ma Zhancai shook his hand desperately and said, "The grass people only ask Lord Jiang to drive her out, the farther away the better." ”

"Master Ma, you know our Lord Jiang's preferences, if she really has the posture of sinking fish and geese, do you think he will let it go?" Wu Ming smiled contemptuously, and then continued to comfort, "Master Ma, don't worry, our family hates women interfering in official affairs the most, so the ladies of our Jiang Mansion are all very silent, knowing what to say and what not to say, after all, our lord's temper is well-known in the entire Chongtian Mansion." ”

"That's good, that's good......" Ma Zhancai raised his hand to wipe the sweat stains from his forehead, this autumn has come, but he can't stop sweating, you can imagine how anxious he is in his heart.

Wu Ming stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, I'll leave first, and by the way, I'll go to Wu Bing to help you sell salt." ”

"Then trouble Lord Wu......"

"It's not troublesome, as long as you do things obediently, our Lord Jiang is satisfied, and you and I will have a good life......" fantasy

……

The crops in the fields were about to be harvested, and the villagers, in order to avoid further losses, harvested their homes before all the ears in the fields hung down.

Even so, the villagers' losses are not small, the rice is no longer edible due to insect damage, and the rats have damaged the root system, and the rice yield is much lower than in previous years.

Unlike them, Ye Chuliang had a very good harvest.

They harvested more than half of the milk vetch, and a small half was mixed into the soil to moisten the fields.

A small part of the harvest was used to nourish other fields, and some was dried by Ye Chuliang to be fed when she was leaving captive livestock, and she also reopened a piece of land for replanting milk vetch.

As for the rice, the harvested ears were not only full of each other, but also had many ears, and almost crushed the thin branches of the rice.

As he carried the bundled rice up the embankment, he said happily: "I can already smell the aroma of the rice before I can get it, and I think this rice must be very fragrant if it is cooked." ”

Ye Chuliang straddled the field to harvest, and when he heard her say this, he couldn't help laughing, "Your nose is so powerful?" ”

Sikong Yu didn't go to Aunt Huang'er's house today, he also stayed on the mountain to help with the harvest, he said while trapped in the rice: "Sister Chuliang, don't say it, our rice is really more fragrant than theirs, at least we don't have a musty smell at all, but their smell makes people want to be disgusted." ”

Dongfang Yanhe also echoed: "Their rice is somewhat musty because of the lack of water at the beginning, and then it rains, and our rice seeds are better than theirs, plus we have never been short of water, and then even if it rains, most of them will flow down the mountain, so our millet will be better and more fragrant than theirs." ”

"That's right, all of this is the credit of Sister Chu Liang, let's just follow her to pick up the cheap." Hongshao threw the rice in his arms on the ground, then rubbed his shoulders and said, "Let's take a rest, I'm almost exhausted." ”

Ye Chuliang looked at the sun above his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Okay, let's take a rest, I think everyone should be tired, I'll pour some water for you." ”

A breeze blew, not only dispelling the heat of midday, but also carrying a hint of floral fragrance.

Ye Chuliang stopped, sniffed vigorously, then exhaled deeply, and finally closed his eyes, as if intoxicated by the fragrance of flowers, "Wow, osmanthus ......"

Hong Shao also walked to Ye Chuliang's side and stopped, with an intoxicated expression, "This aroma reminds me of Jinling Xuanyuzhai's osmanthus brew, I haven't drunk it for many, many years." ”

Ye Chuliang opened his eyes and looked at her with a smile, "If you want to drink, then let's make it ourselves." ”

"Sister Chu Liang, do you also make osmanthus brew?" Red Tree was pleasantly surprised.

"I can not only brew, I can also make, make all kinds of delicacies with osmanthus." After Ye Chuliang finished speaking, he walked straight to the cave.

Hongshao followed behind her excitedly, and said vigorously, "Then you make it for me, we haven't cooked food for a few days, okay......"
