Chapter 5 Be a man and leave a line

When Bai Shan told Luo Shi his idea, Luo Shi had no objection and decided to go to Bai Si's house.

Bai Si seems to have been waiting for a long time for the Luo family's visit, and his face was almost full of joy when he heard that they were coming, and it seemed that this salt mill was about to arrive.

He was even a little more generous, poured tea for the three of them and took out a fruit pot, which was stuffed with candied melon seeds and other things, Bai Jin looked at the furnishings when he entered the house, and he didn't know how much richer it was than the Bai family's four-walled house.

"Did my brother and sister figure it out?" After the four of them sat down, Bai Si couldn't wait to speak.

Luo's pointed at Baishan and said, "Let Shan'er speak." ”

"Good, good." As long as it is to let the salt mill, who said that it is the same, Bai Si squinted his eyes and already thought that the salt mill had been included in his pocket.

Only then did Bai Shan speak: "We have thought about it for a long time, and this salt mill is useless in our hands, so we are willing to share half of the salt mill for the uncle." ”

"Half of the salt mill?" Bai Si opened his eyes and looked at him suspiciously.

"Yes, half of the salt mill." Bai Shan said seriously, "Since Uncle wants to help Daddy take care of the salt mill so much, then we are willing to give half of it to let you take care of it, Uncle." ”

There was only half of the income that could have been earned, and Bai Si knew that Bai Shan wanted to negotiate terms with him, so he naturally didn't want to agree: "It seems that Shan'er doesn't trust Uncle very much, don't worry, when Yanfang makes money, he will definitely not treat your family badly." ”

This kind of verbal promise, I have heard too much, and it has no practical effect at all, Bai Jin shook his head, reached out and unceremoniously grabbed the candied fruit on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

Bai Shan didn't eat his set: "That's okay, it's better for my uncle to set up a note now, and when he earns money in the future, half of the benefits will be given to our family." ”

Bai Si originally wanted to give them a blank check, and when the time came, let alone half of the money, he was distressed when he gave one-twelfth of the money, and he still made a note? How can it be?

He originally thought that this salt mill was bound to be obtained today, but now it seems a little tricky, and he really underestimated Baishan.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Bai Shan continued: "If the uncle doesn't agree, then tomorrow my mother and I will find someone to sell the salt mill, anyway, it's useless to keep the salt mill like this now." ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to sell the salt mill, Bai Si's face suddenly sank and he said fiercely: "You dare? Aren't you afraid that your family will encounter bad luck every day? ”

"Afraid?" Bai Shan-for-tat, "It's true that there have been a lot of bad things recently, I want to go to the official in two days to see who is not pleasing to our family." ”

"Who knows." Hearing the report, Bai Si still tightened his heart and subconsciously said, "Who can you catch without evidence?" ”

Bai Shan smiled: "Empty words? Brother Xu next door to us has been getting up early these days, as if he saw who opened our chicken coop, and Brother Li seems to have heard who smashed the roof of our house. ”

Bai Si's eyes widened, although he did these things either early in the morning or at night, although there were few people, but he couldn't make sure that no one saw it, if it was really reported to the official to find out something......

He actually had some scruples in his heart, he did this at that time because Luo's didn't dare to report to the official, but now if their family really reported to the official, then he would not be happy.

Bering had a good character before his death, and the neighbors and neighbors who were short of rice and food Bering would help, and if someone really saw it, maybe they would stand up.

Bai Si couldn't laugh, his abacus was originally ready, but he didn't expect it to all fall short in just a few days.

I saw Bai Shan said: "How about the uncle?" ”

Bai Si couldn't be at their mercy: "Then why should I take care of that half of the salt mill?" ”

Bai Shan glanced at Bai Jin, who completely ignored his eyes, and concentrated on stuffing candied fruit into his pocket: "But Uncle first proposed to take care of the salt mill left by Daddy, and now it's not for you to choose, Uncle, we didn't come to discuss this matter with you this time." ”

What he meant was that Bai Si's handle was in their hands, and he had to agree if he didn't agree.

Bai Si already understood the reason why Luo's would come, it seems that Bai Shan already wants to take over Bai Ling's salt mill, but now he is short of money and people, so he will come to him, saying that he is giving him half of the salt mill, but in fact, he wants to use his strength.

Giving half of the salt mill, he didn't lose anything, but he didn't like to be at the mercy of a junior, and after pondering for a moment, Bai Si said, "Okay." ”

Bai Shan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Bai Si changed his words: "But in the future, if the salt mill can't make money, then I will want the remaining half of the salt mill." ”

This made Bai Shan hesitate a little, but he heard a crisp "Okay!" beside him. Bai Jin, who had been silent on the side, spoke.

Bai Si glanced sideways at Bai Jindao, who was originally silent: "Okay, then so be it." ”

He was in a very bad mood and sent Bai Jin away, and when he turned around, he couldn't help but grab a handful of snacks in the fruit bowl, but he didn't catch anything, and the fruit bowl that was full of fruit was served before, but now there is nothing left.

Bai Si: "......"

On the way back, Bai Shan's mood was much better, but he was still a little worried about Bai Si's last sentence.

Bai Jin patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay to do this, it's not so easy to get the uncle to agree." ”

"Yes," Bai Shan still had some doubts, "Since we know that the uncle did it, then why do we still have to give half of the salt mill to the uncle?" Wouldn't it be over with this blackmail? ”

Bai Jin didn't think about it, but at most, this was just a momentary quick talk, and it was not beneficial to their family at all, she patiently explained to him: "First of all, the evidence we said about whether it was Brother Xu or Brother Li was all compiled by us, if the uncle didn't agree to us to report to the official, it would still be very troublesome, in the end, we just knew that these things were done by the uncle." ”

"Secondly, be a man and leave a line, and we will see each other in the future, we will force the uncle to be anxious, and the dog will jump off the wall if he is anxious, what if he does something extreme? What's more, half of the salt mill is given to the uncle, and the uncle can also take care of some things, after all, we still need to rely on the uncle's strength. ”

Bai Shan still has a problem: "But the uncle said that if he can't earn silver in a year, then the salt mill will give it to him." ”

He was worried that the uncle would deliberately make them unable to earn money in a year.

"It's true that in order to be able to get that half of the salt mill, Uncle will definitely not give us too much help, and even stumble us in the future, but this is enough," Bai Jin patiently answered her questions, "We don't want to rely on Uncle in the first place, this is a last resort, we just need him to help at the beginning, and we will have to rely on ourselves in the future." I'm really afraid that he will manage too much, and we won't be able to drive him away if he makes money in the future. ”

After listening to her, Bai Shan suddenly nodded in realization, and couldn't help but admire Bai Jin a little.

A few days ago, he hated the tightness she hated, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, this feeling changed from disgust to admiration, maybe he mislooked at her sister.

After listening to it, Luo also felt that what Bai Jin said made sense, before she listened to what Bai Shan said to Bai Si today, she thought that Bai Shan thought it herself, but she didn't expect that Bai Jin actually told her.

After so many years, I thought that I had raised my daughter at home and had raised it with arrogance, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful.

However, Bai Shan was happy, Bai Jin still sensed a trace of his loss, and originally discussed that he could send him to the school, but he probably didn't have time to start taking charge of the salt mill again.

In the following days, the Bai family began to re-operate the salt mill and became busy, these things Bai Jin could not come forward and could only rely on Baishan, so these days Bai Shan was tired, first went to the city to find the Liu family's new regulations for tribute salt, the Liu family was a little strange, and thought that the salt mill would be abandoned after Bai Ling's death, and was about to send someone to buy Baishan and found it.

But the Liu family doesn't care, if Bai Shan wants to do it, let him do it, and it's not too late to buy it when it stops.

The Bai family's salt mill, there are actually quite a lot of people who are worried about it.

Don't mention this, after Bai Shan took the regulations, he decisively went to Bai Si's side to ask him to find a long-term worker, Bai Si originally wanted to refuse, but the handle was still in the hands of others, and he was curious about whether Bai Shan could earn money, and he still helped him find some people with this contradictory mood.

Of course, Bai Shan gave Bai Si five taels of silver.

On the first day of the reopening of the salt mill, Bai Shan deliberately got up early in the morning to go to the salt mill, Bai Jin had already told him about the salt drying method last night, this kid was smart and understood at once, the two pondered for a night and decided to divide the long-term workers into two batches, one batch of frying salt and the other batch of digging salt fields.

But things didn't go so smoothly, Bai Shan seemed to be angry when he came back for many days, Bai Jin wanted to ask her what happened, but he didn't say anything, and every time he used "Sister, you worry about enough" to prevaricate her.

Bai Jin knew in his heart that there was something wrong with the person Bai Si invited.

So early one morning, when Bai Shan went out, he saw Bai Jin getting dressed and waiting for him at the door.

Most of the poor families are coarse cloth shirts and trousers, and they can't see men and women, Bai Jin took the cloth and put it on his chest twice today, and then stood up the hair on his head, which looked quite heroic.

"Look at what? Don't go to the salt mill yet? Bai Jin saw that he was staring at him for a long time, and couldn't help but speak.

Bai Shan scratched his head: "Sister, you also want to go with me like this?" ”

"Is it possible?" Bai Jin glanced at him, "Otherwise, why am I dressed like this?" ”

Bai Shan was a little speechless, he wanted to say that this was what a man should do, but it was Bai Jin's way to reopen the salt mill, so he couldn't help but agree, right? And he has admired Bai Jin quite a lot in the past few days, and he will not disagree.

It's just that I'm afraid she's tired.

Bai Jin didn't know what he was thinking, but seeing that he didn't refuse, she didn't bother to guess, and the two went to the salt mill together after breakfast.
