Chapter 17: Mood
Li led the three of them into the door of the easternmost room, and the warm smell inside was mixed with the smell of barbecue.
In the middle of the room was a large copper basin burning, on the eaves of which were a few pieces of meat from unknown animals, and a few coarse breads, and a white-haired old man older than Li Jiangshi, sitting cross-legged on a straw mat.
"Brother Wang is really leisurely, hehe......" Li said hello with a smile.
When Wang Tantou saw Li and the others coming in, he smiled and beckoned them to sit on the edge of the charcoal basin, and Li took a straw mat by the wall and threw it on the ground next to the charcoal basin and sat down cross-legged.
Wang Tantou used a skewer to tie a piece of meat and handed it to Li for him to eat, "Brother Li, come and eat some, warm and warm,......" he said with a smile.
Wang Ergou, who came in, closed the door with his backhand, grabbed the front of the family in a few steps, reached out and grabbed two pieces of meat and two coarse bread cakes, took a few steps back and leaned lazily against the wall, listening to them while eating.
The three of them also followed the example of Li, took a straw mat and sat down around the charcoal basin, and reached out to roast on the charcoal fire.
Wang Sandan rushed in, didn't care about closing the door, ran to him in three or two steps, grabbed the last piece of meat and a cake left, turned around and leaned against the wall next to Wang Ergou, opened his mouth and bit off a large piece of meat.
"And a few scones, the three little brothers have some."
Wang Tantou beckoned the family members and a few of them to eat the baked cakes, and they were not embarrassed because the meat was robbed by their sons.
The three of them took the cake, thanked them, and ate them unceremoniously.
They had been out and running for an hour, and now they were hungry and devouring a lot of food.
Li ate slowly, and also said the intention, "This little brother wants to buy two thousand catties of charcoal, find my house, and I will accompany them over." He smiled and said, "Look at me bringing you a big deal!" ”
Wang Tan's small eyes were bigger than the apricot kernel, flashing with the light of seeing the silver, looking at the family, looking at the three of them a few times, and his eyes dimmed again.
Wang Tantou's three sons all stood up straight, and looked at the three of them with bright eyes, as if they had seen three silver ingots.
"You want to buy 2,000 catties of charcoal, but I don't have that much here." There was some depression in Wang Tantou's tone.
Jiading thought about asking them how many catties they had, and Li asked for him: "How much do you have here to sell to him first, and then sell the rest later." ”
The family disagreed with this statement, the eldest lady wanted to buy two thousand catties, "how many will be sold to me...... he asked again: "Uncle, where else is charcoal burned around here, can you give me some pointers." ”
Li Jiangshi said: "Their house is the only one that burns charcoal here for more than 100 miles, and there are two more in the north of Jurong County, both of which are sold to Jinling City......"
I said this to the family when I was on the road, but the family didn't give up, thinking that I could go to other places to buy some more, and do what the eldest lady ordered.
It seems that it can't be.
Wang Dawolf stepped forward and pulled up his father, went to the side of the wall and muttered quietly for a while, Wang Tantou listened to his son, and his little eyes looked back and forth between Jia Ding and Li Jiangshi.
After Wang Dawolf finished speaking, he saw his father nodding, and came over to pull Li Jiaoshi over, muttering for a while, Li Jiaoshi nodded and said "um" twice.
After muttering, Li turned around and pulled the family to the other side, and told the family what they discussed, the Wang family meant that the family wanted to buy charcoal, and they only had more than 800 catties of charcoal here, but their family had a lot of firewood that had been chopped, and the charcoal was used in the house, and the firewood was burned outside the house, which could also be used for heating.
Li asked the family to buy 800 catties of charcoal first, and then buy more than 1,000 catties of firewood.
"Charcoal is good, but it will be wasted if it is used to burn the kang, firewood saves a lot of silver than charcoal, little brother thinks it can be made?" Li asked.
"I can't call the shots." Jia Ding said, he thought that what people said was also reasonable, and when he saw Wang Tantou's family of four men, they all looked at him and waited for him to speak.
The family turned around to look at Li Jiangshi and said, "That's it, I'll buy the 800 catties of charcoal first, and then go back and ask our master's family, what does the old man say?" ”
This was said to Li Jiangshi, and it was also said to Wang Tantou's family.
Li slapped the family ding, "What the little brother said is, so be it." Brother Wang, what do you see? ”
"Okay, that's it." Wang Tantou said with a smile.
Seems satisfied.
Next, Jia Ding, Li and Wang Tantou negotiated the price of charcoal, more than 800 catties of charcoal, calculated sixty-two taels of silver, and gave Li the tap of three taels of silver, and shared sixty-five taels of silver.
When the Wang family heard that the charcoal was going to be sent to Maoshan Yuxuguan, they were a little embarrassed, they could send the charcoal to Maoshan, but no one sent it to the jade Xuguan on the mountain.
"It's easy to say, there are more than 20 people in our family at the bottom of the mountain, and we can send them up the mountain ourselves." One of the guards said.
"Yes." The family nodded, they had someone, and he said, "Let's go see the charcoal." ”
Wang Dawolf's loud voice sounded, "Okay, please go outside!" ”
He strode to the door, opened the door, and invited the three of them out to see the charcoal burned.
In the house on the west side, half of the house was piled up with charcoal like ink, and the family went over and took a piece of charcoal more than half a foot long, and tried to break it to see if it was the same as ink, but it was not broken.
One of the guards reached out and took it, easily pinched it into two with his fingers, and the family took it and looked at it.
"Don't worry, our charcoal inside and outside is the same color, to ensure that the fire resistance is strong and smoke-free, you have also seen the charcoal fire in our house, the heat is high, right?" Wang Ergou emphasized behind Jiading how good his charcoal is.
The Wang family had three or four carts, only a mule with a red mane, and the family wanted to pull back more than 800 catties of charcoal at a time, so they put the three horses they rode on the other cart.
Loaded with charcoal, Wang Tantou and Wang Dawolf drove two carts, fortunately, the family had also driven the carriage in the house, he drove the other one, and the two guards sat on the side of the carriage and followed, so that the three carts pulled more than 800 catties of charcoal and went to the place where the Mei family slept at the foot of Maoshan Mountain.
Ruoxue watched Ruohong eat a few bites of breakfast, she stopped swallowing food, and looked at her sister's beautiful sleeping face, and there was a tenderness in her heart that could not be dissolved.
She reached out and touched her red face, as long as her sister could wake up, no matter what she was, she would not let the things in her dream happen to her sister again.
Ruoxue slowly stood up, reluctantly withdrew her hand, and Lianxin put a cloak on her and walked out of the guest room.
Outside, the white clouds in the sky, large clusters tumbling and drifting towards the western horizon, looking at the white and flawless between heaven and earth, Ruoxue's heart was also cleansed, as if all the troubles and worries had dissipated.
Coming to the old Daogu's house, Ruoxue stood outside the door and said, "The layman Mei Ruoxue asks to see the immortal." ”
