Chapter Seventy-Three: The Wisher Takes the Bait
Hailing Salt Shop has been in the days of no business for several days, except for a few days before the opening, there will be sparse people who come to sell salt out of curiosity, but find that the salt here is as expensive as the Liujia Salt Shop opposite, and the taste is not particularly different, and no one has come back after that.
The business of Liu's salt shop is booming as usual, and people are about to break through the threshold, and Bai Jin looks at the little people in his store with great envy.
Bai Jin smiled and gently knocked on the table with the abacus and said, "Don't look at it, you can't be busy when our business is so prosperous." ”
Only then did the little guy come back to his senses: "The slave is just boring and casually looking." ”
Bai Jin nuns his mouth and said: "If you are bored to carry salt for me, our first warehouse is still very empty, and today Steward Mu has already taken some people back to Huangyan Village, if you are willing, you will also go to me." ”
The weather is very hot these days, and going out at noon can melt on the spot, and the errands that stay in the salt shop are all beautiful, and many people want to stay in the salt shop too late, which one wants to go out to carry salt?
However, this errand is also rotated, basically the little guy stays in the salt shop for a day and goes out to carry salt for a day, that is, he is in charge of things, and he needs to watch all the things that move salt, and he has to go out almost every day.
Bai Jin originally wanted to follow him back to Huangyan Village, but Steward Mu was afraid that this master would be too tired to explain to Ning Tonghua, so he wouldn't let her go, so Bai Jin could only give up, take over his previous account affairs, and check all the account books of the previous period again.
This account room is also a troublesome matter, basically I can't finish it, and I am still counting it again.
"By the way, master," the little guy asked, "what did you do with a bamboo pole on the side?" ”
Ever since Bai Jin sat on the counter, he had come up with a bamboo pole from nowhere, and a thin rope was wrapped around it, and at the end of the rope was a sewing thread.
"I'm fishing." Bai Jin said with a smile, she is now a Jiang Taigong, waiting for the fish in her pool to take the bait.
"Fishing?" The little guy was confused.
After another two days, Bai Jin lowered his head and fiddled with the abacus, and there was a knock at the door of the salt shop.
As soon as the voice fell, I heard a familiar voice at the door: "Who is the shopkeeper of this salt shop?" ”
Bai Jin's hands were stunned, his eyes lit up, and before the little guy could speak, Bai Jin had already jumped up and said with a smile: "It's me!" ”
"Miss Bai?" When Steward Yu entered the door, Bai Jin was lowering his head, he didn't notice that there was another person on the other side of the counter, and suddenly saw a person jumping up with his eyes shining, which really startled him.
Master Liu asked him to come to check if this Hailing salt shop would have anything to do with the Yun family, and how could this salt shop be opened by Bai Jin?
The people of the Liu family have already been connected with the government, as long as it is the people in Jingnan City, it is impossible to get the salt introduction in the city, and the other government offices in Jingnan will inform the Liu family when they approve the salt introduction, and the Liu family has not received the salt quotation from the government at all in the past few months, so it is certain that this salt shop should be from the Central Plains.
How did Bai Jin get the salt introduction without the Liu family knowing?
And looking at Bai Jin's happy appearance, he somehow suddenly remembered what happened last time in Yueqing Building.
He didn't know how happy Bai Jin was, he had waited for him for so many days, and finally waited for someone!
"Steward Yu, sit down, sit down." Bai Jin jumped out from behind the counter like a rabbit and said, "Do you want to drink a cup of tea, our salt shop is all good tea, high-quality Tieguanyin!" ”
Bai Jin's attentiveness was a little scary, and Steward Yu was thinking that he would not have time to run.
Of course it's too late! In order to prevent him from being frightened and running away, Bai Jin thought quite thoroughly, as soon as the housekeeper Yu entered the salt shop, the small servants on both sides had already closed the door, and before the closure was finished, the two of them had been guarding there like the door god.
Steward Yu's figure belongs to the kind that is neither fat nor thin, Bai Jin specially found two fierce and stout people to guard, he can't leave no matter what.
Bai Jin admires himself a little!
"Miss Bai, why don't we talk well?" Butler Yu felt that he had been forcibly pressed on the chair.
Why is your mouth so cheap? Why did you bother to perfunctory her with such words?
Bai Jin sat opposite him with his cheeks and smiled, not to mention that he was a little charming, but he just heard her say: "I'm just here to have a good talk with Steward Yu." ”
It's just that the method may be a little rougher.
"Then what does Miss Bai want to tell me?"
"Of course I want to catch up with you," Bai Jin's fingers drew circles on the table, "Do you remember the contract I signed with you on the Yueqing floor about 10,000 catties of salt?" ”
"Naturally, I remember," Steward Yu secretly screamed in his heart, "It's just the events of the first two days, how could I forget?" Isn't this the end of the matter? You have received the silver, and the salt has been."
"Is it over?" Bai Jin picked up the cup of tea in front of him and said, "How do I remember that there seems to be a promise that the Liu family has not fulfilled?" ”
Steward Yu snorted: "Really?" Did I never know there was such a promise? ”
Bai Jin had long known that the Liu family would repay the debt, and the contract Bai Jin at that time was carried with her, she took it out of her arms and shook it in front of Steward Yu, pointing to the last one: "Steward Yu's eyes are not used often, if you don't use it, please remember to donate it to those in need." ”
Steward Yu was slightly angry in his heart: "Even if there is, what? Our Liu family will not order this, you just sue the government to see if someone will ignore you. ”
Bai Jin remembered the way the prefect looked when Wei Yan went to the county government that day, and couldn't help laughing.
Steward Yu thought that Bai Jin had a brain problem: "What are you laughing at?" ”
"I'm sorry," Bai Jin's face eased when he consciously felt a little rude, "I should laugh quietly next time, or I should laugh secretly." ”
"You-" Steward Yu didn't know what she wanted to say, he always felt that Bai Jin didn't seem to take the Liu family seriously.
To be honest, Bai Jin really didn't put Liu Fu in his eyes, compared to the Yun family, Liu Fu is a fart!
Steward Yu couldn't bear it anymore, slapped it on the table and turned to leave.
The little guy at the door looked at Bai Jin, and Bai Jin waved his hand, realizing that they let the housekeeper go out.
"By the way, Steward Yu," Bai Jin's voice came from behind him, "If you still find that contract, you can read it carefully and see what you can find." ”
