Chapter 16 Lee's Style

Ruoxue dropped one place from the second place on the signing list to the third place, (bitter gourd face)

Ruoxue is a little unhappy!

~~~ This is the dividing line of the descent ~~~

"Who are you? What's the matter with me? Li looked the family up and down.

"Our owner wants to buy some charcoal, I don't know where to sell it? If you know, please give me some advice. Jia Ding clenched his fists and bowed.

Li tilted his head sideways to look at the two guards behind Jiading, stood up straight again, looked at Jiading and asked, "How many catties do you want to buy?" ”

When the family heard his question, he knew that he had found the right person, and said, "Two thousand catties." ”

"Two ...... Two thousand pounds! ”

Li took a breath of cold air, which big family is this? Opening his mouth costs 2,000 catties, he thinks about all the rich people in and outside the county, and he doesn't think that any family hasn't bought charcoal for the winter.

"I do know where charcoal is, but it doesn't have to be two thousand pounds." Li said.

"Excuse me, old man, to show me the way." The family clasped his fists and saluted solemnly.

Li Jiangshi didn't speak immediately, and thought for a while before saying: "Old man, I can lead the way for you, and by the way, I will be a middle-aged person, and I will give the old man a little stroke." I don't know what the little brother thinks? ”

The family was stunned for a moment, how to give this tap, and how much is appropriate? It was the first time for the family to do this kind of business thing, and they didn't understand these things, so they were a little hesitant.

Seeing his hesitation, he was a little unhappy, and said in a slightly cold voice: "If you don't want to say it directly, why do you have to be so embarrassed." So saying, he turned and went into the courtyard.

"Old man, old man......" The family reached out and grabbed Li Jiaoshi's arm, "Don't worry, my husband is going back to pick up the owner's errand, I don't know how much this tap is, and I ask my husband to give me some advice." As he spoke, he shook his fist at Li Zhangshi, full of sincerity.

Li squinted his eyes and looked at the family for a while, and seeing that his sincerity was true, he looked at him with a smile, looking like a teachable child.

"You wait for me, I'll go and put on my coat and run with you." Li turned around and went back to the yard, went into the house and put on a big cotton jacket, and took out the big green mule at home.

"Let's go."

When Li came out again, his son and daughter-in-law sent him out, and the old man waved his hand to let them all go back, and his old wife chased him out, stuffed two hot sweet potatoes in his arms, and asked him to pad his stomach on the way.

"Look at you! I'll be back in the afternoon at the latest, and I'll not die of hunger without eating. Li took the two sweet potatoes into his arms with some impatience, patted the strong back of the big green mule, turned over and rode up.

Jia Ding also pulled his horse and turned over, followed behind Li Jiaoshi, slowly let go of the horse's speed, looked back and saw that the two guards were following up, and then kicked the horse's belly to catch up with the old man.

Li Jiangshi's old wife, son and daughter-in-law watched a few people go away before closing the courtyard door and going back to the house.

On the way, Li told the family about the tap, and he told the family that there were 1 out of 10 and 5 out of 100, and this one was not accurate.

Generally, it depends on the transaction amount of the transaction, and it also depends on the mood of the middleman, "My old man sees that you are a simple person, you can give me five out of 100, what's the matter?" He said.

Jiading pondered in his heart, five hundred draws is one hundred taels of silver for charcoal, and he will give Li the style five taels of silver, which is a lot, he thought about not giving Li the style, but he didn't know where to find the charcoal burner for a while.

Thinking of the silver in his arms, their Mei family is not short of that little money, such weather, the eldest lady is in a hurry to buy charcoal, thinking of this, the family did not hesitate, and said: "The old man is benevolent and righteous, and he agreed." He thanked Li for his hand.

Li put the style on the mule with a smile, and the family in a good mood chatted without a word, the charcoal burner they were going to was surnamed Wang, and the Wang family had been burning charcoal and selling firewood for a living for generations, and it was the largest charcoal burner near and far.

The charcoal of the Wang family is commonly used by the rich families in Jurong County and Lishui County, and his charcoal is resistant to burning, high in heat and no smoke, which is quite popular with the rich people, so people call the old man of the Wang family "Wang Tantou".

The family and the two guards laughed when they heard it, and Li Jiangshi also laughed, "Wang Tantou married a widow in Xichu Village, and the woman gave birth to three sons to Wang Tantou in a row, and he died five or six years ago!" ”

Li Jiangshi sighed with some regret, "That woman is a strong one, after marrying Wang Tantou, she runs the house, and follows Wang Tantou up the mountain to chop wood and burn charcoal, not much worse than a man, their eldest son was born on the mountain, and he was almost eaten by wolves, hey!" ……”

Li Jiangshi sighed again, "Therefore, Wang Tantou called his eldest son a big wolf, a wolf of jackals, not a lang's lang." ”

This time, the family couldn't laugh anymore, and rode a horse to follow Li Jiangshi, and slowly walked forward to listen to his next story.

"After the woman died, she cried for three or four days, and her hair and beard were also white in those days,......"

Four men, three horses, and a mule ran through the snow for half an hour, and came to the foot of a mountain, where there was a building like a mountain bag, and in it was a place where charcoal was burned.

There were five large houses next to it, with no courtyard walls around them, and two large piles of split wood, both more than a man high, with a thick layer of snow piled on top.

When the two dogs heard the sound, they ran out of nowhere, and stood seven or eight feet away from the house, barking at them.

The three big men ran out when they heard the dog barking, and stood behind the dog and looked at the people who were coming this way.

Lee grabbed the reins, slipped off the mule's back, led the mule, and walked over the creaking snow.

The housekeeper and the two guards also dismounted, and led the reins one foot deep and one foot shallow.

"Isn't your dad Wang Tantou at home?" It was still far away, and Li Jiangshi shouted loudly.

"It's Old Man Li! My daddy is in the house, what are you doing this morning? A bearded man was not polite at all.

"Wang Dawolf just doesn't like people, and he doesn't call uncle when he sees me." Li said with anger, but with a smile on his face, it can be seen that he is not angry at all.

Wang Ergou raised his foot and kicked the two earth dogs that were still barking, and the two dogs barked a few times, clamped their tails, and turned into the kennel hidden behind the firewood stack.

"Hurry up and tell you Daddy, there's a big deal coming to the door." Li handed the reins to the youngest Wang Sandan, "Tie it up, don't let it run away." ”

Li turned around and asked the family to hand over the horses to Wang Sandan, "Don't worry about handing it over to him, I promise I can't run." He laughs.

The family and the two guards gave Wang Sandan the reins, and followed Li to the rooms, and Wang Dawolf shouted into the house: "Daddy, old Li is here." ”

Wang Sandan led the horse and mule, went around the charcoal-burning mountain bag, tied the horse and mule to a few cypress trees at the foot of the mountain, and hurriedly turned around and ran back to the house.

PS:

Ruoxue is hidden behind the scenes, to see if Jia Ding is a person who can be used, if he can give him a chance to show his face in the future.
