Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Salt Seller
There are many people who are as confused as Wu Yi, and after leaving the shooting range, most of them get together to discuss, some say that the question is strange, and some say that the woman who asked is beautiful.
"This young master of the Xu family is really interesting, how can he always find such a beautiful woman? If only I were also a landlord......"
"Be quiet! This is the territory of the Xu family, don't you want to die? ”
Wu Yi was not interested in their small talk, he only cared if he passed the test.
Lei Laohu also came out, and he immediately greeted him and asked, "How is it?" ”
Lei Laohu spread his hands: "No one knows." ”
"How did you answer?"
"I answered as I intended, but in such a short time, I didn't have time to think about it." Thunder Tiger said.
Wu Yi said: "I think it's very strange. ”
"What's strange?"
"To form an army, you must be physically strong and strong, why does this Xu family's son's method of recruiting people not look at strength at all? Is it possible to ask a question and recruit a powerful person? Wu Yi asked.
Thunder Tiger shrugged: "Who knows? ”
"It's possible that the young master of the Xu family doesn't know how to fight."
While they were talking, there was a commotion not far away, and when the two inquired, they learned that it was the salt seller from Fengshi Village who came.
Within a radius of 100 miles, there is a salt mine in Fengshi Village, and several surrounding villages point to the salt in Fengshi Village. The salt seller of Fengshi Village drove a donkey and carried a large bag of white flower salt, over the mountains and mountains, to sell salt in various villages. Only they know where there is a shortcut, only they know where to bypass the bandits' checkpoints.
Therefore, the salt seller is extremely popular, and every time he goes to a village, he is very popular.
But today's arrival of the salt seller does not look like a showman.
Wu Yi and Lei Laohu approached, but found that there were many villagers around the salt seller, all talking about something.
"Can't sell! Can't sell! That's the price it used to be! I really can't sell it, I will say the price here, less than 20 Wen per catty, all of them are free to talk! ”
These words caused an uproar, and the surrounding crowd was excited, some roared loudly, and some sat directly on the ground and cried, all of which were chaotic.
Actually, they are not to blame. At 20 wen per catty, this price is enough to crush the ordinary families in Luhegou.
The price of salt has already risen, and now it is rising, and it will kill them!
"You can't do that! How can the price of salt go up, wow? ”
"You're asking for our lives!"
The salt dealer looked impatient, pointed to the crying villagers, and said, "You said I want your life, who cares about my life?" I brought you salt with an old life on the belt of my trousers, and who of you thanked me? Our leader has long looked down on your village, with little money and a long way to go. If I hadn't insisted on coming, would you have eaten salt? If you don't eat salt, do you have the strength to work? If you don't work, do you have something to eat? Yes? Talking? Dumb? ”
Seeing that the villagers stopped talking, the salt seller became a little proud and said, "To be honest, you really have to thank me." We opened up a few more trade routes, and there was more oil and water there, so naturally there was less salt distributed to me. I was going to stop the salt on your side, but I couldn't bear it, so I told the chief, and he would give me more salt. I only have 30 catties of salt in my hand now, and the next time I come will have to be in the second half of the year. If you don't buy it, you won't have salt to eat! ”
The villagers were very cooperative, and immediately some of them began to shout: "Give me a bag!" "Give me a bag too!"
Wu Yi is an old man, where do you know, what this salt dealer said is just for promotion. But at this time, the villagers were afraid that they would not be able to eat salt in the future, so they rushed to buy it, and he couldn't help it.
Moreover, no one dares not to buy it, and even more so for a hunter like him.
He once experienced a time when he couldn't eat salt, when he drank deer blood raw and ate soil, he did it all.
Not being able to eat salt was too painful and he didn't want to put up with it anymore.
20 He still had it out, and when he raised his hand and was about to buy a bag as well, a rider suddenly came like a whirlwind across the tall horse, and asked in a clear voice, "What?" Is the selection over? ”
Wu Yi raised his head and found that it was Xu Wenshan and Xu Wenshan's little maid right away.
"The young master of the Xu family is here......" "The young master is here......"
All around me was muttering. People automatically split a line and let Xu Wenshan pass.
"Hey, what's going on, what are you doing here? Who are you? You're not from Luhegou, are you? Xu Wenshan pointed to the salt seller and asked.
The salt seller snorted and said, "I'm a salt seller." ”
Xu Wenshan dismounted and said, "It turned out to be a salt dealer." What's wrong? Why are you so excited, who is bullying you? ”
Xu Wenshan looked particularly amiable at this time, and the villagers told Xu Wenshan about the increase in the price of salt, and after hearing this, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
Xu Wenshan turned around and asked the salt seller: "Why are you raising the price?" ”
Seeing that Xu Wenshan had no respect for himself, the salt seller couldn't help but lose his temper and said: "The salt we dry ourselves, we can rise if we want, why do we need a reason?" ”
"Salt is a necessity for life, and if you rise so much, who can stand it?" Xu Wenshan asked.
The salt seller said: "How can I manage so much? I just sell my salt, do you like to buy it or not, if you don't want to buy it, hurry up and go, don't stop me from doing business. ”
After that, the salt seller pushed Xu Wenshan away and continued to sell the salt in his hand to the surrounding crowd.
Suddenly, Xu Wenshan broke off and drank: "None of you are allowed to buy his salt!" ”
The surrounding villagers all stopped, looked at Xu Wenshan, and said: "I promise, you will regret what you bought in the future!" ”
"Yo, who is this scaring about?"
A frivolous voice came, but it was not the salt seller who said this, but the third son of the Guo family, Guo Decai, who entered the scene from behind Shi Shiran.
Xu Wenshan suppressed his temper and asked, "What?" ”
Guo Decai handed the money to the salt seller, took a bag of salt, and said: "In this world, when you do business, you are all willing to fight and suffer, only those who don't want to sell, how can you not buy like this?" Xu Gongzi, you are a little unreasonable, right? ”
The salt seller also sang and said beside him: "Look, the young master of the Guo family still has courage and bearing!" What like someone! If you can't afford it, forget it, don't let others buy it! ”
Xu Wenshan said calmly: "I just advise everyone, don't buy it, you will regret it if you buy it." You'd better not buy it first, think about it before you buy it. ”
Guo Decai thought about it, my family wants to buy meat at your house, is it possible to buy salt at your house? He hugged the salt bag and said, "I just bought it, what's wrong?" ”
"Are you sure?"
"Sure, what?"
"No regrets?"
"Why do you regret it?" Guo Decai said with a smile.
"Wu Yi, Lao Lei," Xu Wenshan said suddenly, "Are you also there?" Help me leave the salt bag behind and get rid of the salt sellers! ”
