Steward Yu answered, and then instructed the little maid around him to prepare a horse to go to Huangyan Village, before the person left the shop, a little maid hurriedly came out of the side door and whispered: "Master, housekeeper, just now the Bai family sent a letter, the girl of the Bai family seems to have come to Jingnan City with someone, and wants to discuss the matter of that batch of salt with us."

Steward Yu and Master Liu glanced at each other, and the latter waved his hand and said: "Since the people of the Bai family took the initiative to come to Jingnan City, then it is also necessary to go to Huangyan Village for a trip, and after a while, you go to the account room to pay some silver and go to Yueqing Building, and Bai Si over there, you send someone over to say it." ”

"Yes."

Answering again, Steward Yu could only ask someone from the Bai family to go to Yueqing Building to wait for a while, and then go over after arranging someone to go to Bai Si's side.

Bai Jin sat on the axle and shook her legs while nibbling on the sugar gourd, and the bamboo skewers were wrapped in crystal white sugar and sprinkled with sweet dried osmanthus, which was wrapped in sweet and sour red fruits that had just been picked not long ago, and the taste drifted from her hands to the carriage behind her in the wind.

Originally, they were not so anxious to discuss the matter of salt with Master Liu, these things were not particularly anxious, but Ning Tonghua had something to do, and they needed to return to Fengzhen Building for a while, and they were afraid that there would be extraneous branches, so they would discuss the price of salt first.

During his absence, he had already written a letter to Wei Yan, asking him to pay more attention to the Bai family during this time

However, he has not received a reply from the prince, and he has not mentioned it to them.

Ning Tonghua was also holding a string of unopened sugar gourds in his hand, and couldn't figure out how this thing could be so popular.

Take off the hawthorn at the bottom and pinch it open, and there is a note wrapped in it with three small words written on it: "Yueqing Building".

Knocking on the carriage, he said, "We have lost direction, we have to go to Yueqing Building." ”

"Aren't you going to Liu's Mansion?"

Bai Jin finished eating a string of sugar gourds, wiped the sugar stains on the corner of his mouth, and then handed out a string of sugar gourds from behind the curtain.

"Don't go, go directly to Yueqing Building, then someone in Liu Mansion is there to answer."

Taking his sugar gourd, she noticed that there was still sticky sugar under the bamboo skewer and seemed to be missing a sugar gourd, Bai Jin shook the sugar gourd in his hand and said: "Ning's shopkeeper's hobby is really strange, normal people eat sugar gourds from top to bottom, and the shopkeeper is indeed the opposite." ”

Ning Tonghua heard what she said: "It is said that the sugar gourd at the bottom is sweeter, and I don't like to eat this thing, just taste one and know the taste." ”

Bai Jin recalled the sugar gourd he had eaten for so many years, but he didn't see that the last one of the strings was the sweetest, maybe it was already sweet and greasy in his mouth after eating it, so he didn't feel anything.

I didn't bother to think about it, Bai Jin had already bit off the hawthorn on his mouth, and ate it all the way to Yueqing Building, and it happened to be there just when he finished eating.

Yueqing Building is similar to other restaurants, Bai Jin squinted, and she still sent a small "Liu" word under the plaque.

"Don't look at it, this Yueqing Building belongs to the Liu family."

Ning Tonghua had already lifted the curtain and came out, Bai Jin also got out of the carriage, and Steward Yu arrived one step ahead of them and had been waiting at the door for a while.

I thought that Bai Jin would come with Bai Shan, but it was a man I didn't know who got off the carriage, although I didn't know him, but Steward Yu seemed to be a little familiar with him, and I didn't know where I had seen it.

He is in charge of the Liu family's salt shop, and he sees more people every day, who knows whether this person is here to sell salt or buy salt, he doesn't care much, and today's purpose is just to discuss salt with the Bai family.

"White girl, this is ......"

Bai Jin threw the bamboo stick in his hand and said, "It's just the shopkeeper invited by our salt mill." ”

He had heard what Master Liu had said, so he hurriedly invited the two of them in, and he didn't dare to slack off on the food and tea.

From the white brocade on his face, it could be seen that Master Liu wanted this 10,000 catties of salt, and today he asked Steward Yu to come mostly to find out the truth.

Once she knew it in her heart, Bai Jin was more than enough to deal with it, except for not mentioning where this batch of salt came from, she answered the questions asked by Steward Yu in detail one by one.

Steward Yu also had almost the bottom in his heart, and he also knew that the Bai family should really have a batch of salt.

"White girl, as for the price of that salt...... Steward Yu has already begun to fiddle with the abacus in his heart, their Liu family asked for 10,000 catties at once, and this price always has to be pushed down.

"How much can you give according to the Liu family's intentions? The Liu family is rich and generous, and it is impossible to say that there are no seven hundred taels of silver. It didn't matter what it was, Bai Jin put the top hat on the Liu family first.

Steward Yu frowned and said: "Miss Bai said with a smile, you see that the sales of this salt are not particularly good in the past few years, our Liu family is having a hard time, and the Yun family on the east side has begun to occupy a part of the sales in Jingnan again, so the price of this salt is not day by day, and it is also a small profit but quick turnover, and your price has risen to seven hundred taels of silver, and our salt shop will not make any money at all." ”

The clichés of the merchants, Bai Jin's ears have been calloused all these years, how many times has the sales of Jingnan salt been bad? When will the Liu family be struggling? She sneered in her heart, fortunately, she didn't expect to sell for a good price, as long as she could afford to buy a shop in the city.

"So, how much are your Liu family willing to give?"

"Five hundred taels of silver, how does the white girl look at this price?"

scolded in his heart, this Liu family's heart is really black enough, Bai Jin thought that six hundred taels of silver was the reserve price of the Liu family, but he didn't expect to be able to press her down another one hundred taels.

Even when she was in Hailing City, she didn't dare to play like this with those salt mills who had signed salt deeds.

Ning Tonghua stood beside her and was silent, she was left to handle all these things by herself, in the final analysis, if it was according to their purpose, it was actually not a loss.

Bai Jin flattened his mouth and said, "The Liu family is not very kind." ”

Steward Yu said tepidly: "The white girl doesn't do the business of the salt shop, so naturally she doesn't know the difficulty of the salt shop. ”

"I see," Bai Jin nodded, "If I also open a salt shop in Jingnan City in the future, the Liu family will have to help one or two in it." ”

Steward Yu thought she was joking, and said casually: "If the white girl can open a salt shop in Jingnan City, then the Liu family will naturally place the first order." ”

Bai Jin squinted and smiled: "Then thank you Steward Yu, I will send someone to send salt to Liu's Mansion in four days." ”

Steward Yu got up and said, "In that case, thank you Miss Bai, the five hundred taels of silver can be deposited into the account of Miss Bai today, and Yu will return it to the master." ”

Bai Jin nodded and watched him out.

Waiting for others to leave the box, Ning Tonghua said: "I bought salt for just five hundred taels of silver, this is not like you." ”

Bai Jin took the chopsticks and grabbed a duck leg and said, "It's not just these five hundred taels of silver, isn't this a promise?" ”

"It's just empty words," Ning Tonghua sneered, "Who would believe him without writing it in black and white?" ”
