Chapter 238: The Origin of the Ancient Village

Another thing that needs to be explained is that when the two snake demons destroyed the bridge, a wooden boat carrying sesame oil came to the bridge and witnessed the whole process of destroying the bridge, which scared the owner of the boat half to death.

It turned out that this was a cargo ship that departed from Guantao County, Handan City, and headed for Jinghai County, Tianjin, to transport sesame oil. The one who followed the ship was the shopkeeper of the oil shop, whose surname was so straightforward. And because it is engaged in the business of extracting and selling oil, it is called oil.

As soon as the oil saw that the cowbone bridge was broken, the ships could not pass. Half of the way has already been walked, and the family is still waiting for this batch of money to do things.

The oil was in a hurry, and he was in a hurry, so he didn't come up in one breath and died.

The onlookers saw the human life and knew that Qi Xiaoting was a miracle doctor who could cure diseases and save people, so they hurriedly told her.

Qi Xiaoting rushed over and poured a hand of twisted gourd ambergris herbal water into the oil. When the oil had eased up, he was handed over to the care of the servant who followed the boat, and hurriedly repaired the bridge.

After the oil woke up, he thought: This bridge is destroyed like this, even if it is repaired immediately, it will not be able to pass the ship for a few months.

The family is waiting for money, if you can sell it nearby, even if you buy less money, you can solve the urgent need.

Thinking so, he dragged his weak body off the boat and said to the onlookers: "Uncles and aunts, I am driving a boat to Jinghai in Tianjin to deliver sesame oil, and I don't know when this bridge will be repaired." I don't know if there is an oil shop around here, and the family is waiting for the money, so I want to sell the oil barge and return as soon as possible. ”

A middle-aged man said: "There is no oil shop nearby, so we have to travel more than ten miles to Jinzi Township to get oil." In this way, seeing that you are sick when you go out, I will call on you to let the people come to buy your sesame oil. How about you make less money and sell to people at wholesale prices? ”

You folded her fists with both hands and said, "That's very good." I sell it wholesale at wholesale prices. I'll give another profit, and Uncle Lao will copy and help me sell the oil. ”

The middle-aged man beckoned to the crowd, and four men immediately came. The middle-aged man explained to them what he thought, and one man said, "I'm sick when I go out, we have to help with this." After selling the oil, go back to the empty boat and go faster. ”

Then he shouted to the crowd of onlookers: "Don't look at it, if you look at it again, the bridge will collapse." Everyone went home to get bottles of sesame oil, and bought sesame oil to support the shopkeeper to go home early. ”

When the people heard this, they all started to talk about it:

"One sesame oil, how much can you eat, you can eat it for half a year with two taels."

"yes, I still have a little mile in the oil bottle at home, and I don't plan to buy it."

"Sesame oil is not as good as fried vegetable oil, it can be with it or without it."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

The middle-aged man waved his hand, stood on the high post and said to everyone: "I know that sesame oil is not more than fried vegetable oil. But this time it's to help the oil shopkeeper.

"The oil shopkeeper was also anxious to wait for the money, and suddenly encountered an accident on the bridge and couldn't cross it, so he was in a hurry and made a mistake.

"If he doesn't wait for the money, he won't be in a hurry. When you go out, who has a time when you are in trouble, even if you are kind, take a step to save him! ”

"So, buying oil is doing a good thing?" Someone in the crowd said.

Middle-aged man: "Even if it is, you see that he just walked from the palace of Hades, he is sick, and the river is cold at night, so don't aggravate his condition." ”

"Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, this sesame oil, we fight."

As they spoke, they all went home to get their oil bottles.

An old man in his fifties said: "I am the former head of Niugu Village, and our village is the farthest away from here, and not many people come. I want to push your oil basket to our village and sell it, but when it is sold out, I will send you the oil basket and the oil money. Can you trust me? ”

Seeing the sincerity of what people said, he didn't think about it, so he agreed,

One wanted to do this, and the other four followed suit, saying it would save time and get people to buy more.

You nodded in agreement. So, the five men divided the oil baskets on the ship and took them all away.

The captain couldn't take a fancy to it, and reminded the oil so: "You are not familiar with the people here, and you don't even have a name." If you really don't come back, where are you going to find someone to settle accounts? ”

When I heard this, I also played a small drum in my heart, and I was very unsteady. But the oil basket was all gone, and it was left to fate.

After more than an hour of fear, the five village chiefs came one after another, and each of them returned the oil basket and oil money in full, without missing a penny.

I am grateful and grateful. At the urging of the village chiefs, they turned around and drove back step by step.

When he returned to his hometown, he told his father, the old shopkeeper, that the old shopkeeper was very moved and said to his son: "Son, your life was given by the people of Niugu Village." If they hadn't called for the miracle doctor, our father and son would never have seen each other in this life.

"After you say this, I think that the people there have good hearts and pure customs, which saved your life. But we can't afford not to repay the favor. Right now, your mother is sick, and we can't thank you for it.

"In order to repay the people there for saving your life, I think it is better to open a sesame oil factory in Niugu Village, and we will sell sesame oil to people at cost price, in this way, to repay people's kindness to you."

When you heard this, she hurriedly said, "Father, the child also has this intention. Isn't this just going to tell you, but I didn't expect our father and son to coincide and want to go together.

"I also think that in order to repay people for saving my lives, in addition to selling sesame oil to people at cost, I also plan to pass on the craft of grinding sesame oil to them, and set up oil mills in several cattle bone villages.

"We don't do anything else but to promote this technology, make the people there rich, and repay them for their kindness. And the miracle doctor, I don't know which village it is, it's always from Jianjin Prefecture.

"If you open an oil mill there, you will have a better chance of meeting her. If you see her again, you will also ask your mother for a magic potion so that your mother can get better as soon as possible. ”

The old shopkeeper: "That's a good idea!" We have a market in Jinghai County, and if the sesame oil they grind out can't be sold locally, we will put it away and transport it to Jinghai County to sell.

"Here we collect at the wholesale price, and there is less oil in Jinghai and the price is high, so we only earn the difference in the middle. There are many of them, which is also a lot of input. ”

"It's just that in front of the mother, the child can't keep his filial piety every day!" ”

The old shopkeeper: "As long as you live, you are filial." If you can't come back this time, your mother won't be able to chase you. A good boy has ambitions in all directions, as long as you make a career, your mother will be happy, maybe her condition will get better. ”

Both father and son are pragmatic people, and as long as they recognize something, they will act immediately.

The oil company soon opened a sesame oil workshop in East Niugu Village.

The craftsmanship of the oil is good, the sesame oil he beats, one is bright, the other is pure fragrance, poured on the side dishes in summer, just smelling the fragrance, can increase appetite.

He has worked in Dongniugu Village for less than a year, and people within a radius of more than ten miles recognize his family's oil, coupled with his good popularity, and his business is very prosperous.

After gaining a firm foothold and opening up the market, the oil company began to recruit apprentices and taught his oil extraction technology to the apprentices without reservation. As soon as he learned, he was encouraged to go home and start an oil mill.

Seeing that grinding sesame oil was profitable, people were willing to teach, so they came to his workshop as an apprentice, and when they learned it, they started their own stoves. Soon, sesame oil workshops were built in all five cowbone villages.

In addition to the local people bought, all the rest was handed over to the oil company, and then the oil was shipped to Jinghai County, Tianjin, and sold to wholesalers.

Due to the good sales and fast money, almost every villager in the five Niugu villages opened oil mills, and the five villages gradually became rich.

Let's talk about oil again:

Just across the wall from his house, there is a shop that does grocery business, and the shopkeeper's surname is Wu, and his name is here. Wuzi came to speak a little impulsively, so that he could lift the dead pole, and he also liked to take a small advantage, so people turned his name upside down behind his back and called him Wulaizi.

The popularity of the shopkeeper is not very good, the business is also small, and the family is not well-off.

Because of the oil, the shopkeeper is a close neighbor, and the two get along quite well. Therefore, the shopkeeper will provide the sesame oil for the boss of Wu to eat. The shopkeeper also occasionally returned some common things for needles and threads.

The shopkeeper of 1111 has a three-year-old daughter, who is very well-behaved and smart. The shopkeeper liked it very much, so he recognized it as his goddaughter, and pulled two zhang of flower cloth to make four sets of flower clothes for his goddaughter in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the shopkeeper also returned the four jars of wine. The two families have come and gone.

In the winter of this year, the hometown of the old shopkeeper sent a letter, saying that the old lady was no longer good. Before leaving, the shopkeeper of the oil should temporarily put 20 jars of sesame oil in the house of the shopkeeper of Wu, saying that he would come back after the "five seven" after the old lady passed away.

Because each jar is sealed, and it is not afraid of wind and rain, it is placed in the backyard of the black shopkeeper's house, and placed along the root of the wall.

The shopkeeper also got two small dishes and invited the boss to drink two cups, which was regarded as a send-off. The two godfathers said goodbye, and the shopkeeper left early the next morning.

1111 said that on this day, the black shopkeeper spread two mats in the backyard to dry beans, I don't know whose family a few chickens got in from the hole in the wall, even eating and planing, and the beans rolled everywhere.

When the shopkeeper saw it, he was so angry that he grabbed a small bench and smashed it, but the bench flew out but smashed it on the sesame oil jar of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but shout "not good", thinking that he would have to pay someone a jar of sesame oil now. Unexpectedly, after the jar was smashed, not a drop of sesame oil flowed out. But at the bottom of the altar were two ingots of silver, which shone brightly in the light of the sun.

The shopkeeper hurriedly ran over, grabbed a silver ingot with one hand and checked it: "Obediently, they are all twenty taels of silver ingots."

The black shopkeeper opened the other jars, and each altar had two ingots and twenty taels of silver ingots. There were forty ingots in twenty jarsβ€”eight hundred taels.

The black shopkeeper was stunned. I thought to myself: so much silver, let alone having it, I haven't even seen it. Obediently, this oil shopkeeper can really save, and he also says that he is profitable on weekdays, really, can he save so much silver?
