Chapter 152: These Merchants Are a Bit Weird
After the merchant left, the patriarch tasted tea in a leisurely manner.
"Patriarch, will you be in too much of a hurry?" Cui Jiang said with some concern.
"What kind of politeness do you have to deal with these outsiders?" The patriarch put down the teacup and advised: "But in the past three days, I still sent someone to keep an eye on them, and they really jumped over the wall in a hurry." ”
The patriarch will be in a really good mood.
They have so much food that they can't eat it all.
In order to maintain their position, they would rather rot their food than give it to the victims.
Now to be able to exchange this potentially rotten grain for salt is like making money for nothing!
When encountering this kind of good thing, people will naturally be in a good mood.
Time flashed, and three days passed.
A few dealers came to the door again.
"Looks like you've thought it through." The Cui family patriarch said with a smile.
A few merchants looked bitter, and it seemed that they had given up struggling.
After a few simple polite words, the Cui family began to act.
The location is in Shengpingfang, and it doesn't take much time on the road.
It seems that the merchants have rented several connected houses to store their goods.
There were a lot of things piled up in the yard, all covered with black cloth.
Only a narrow path was left leading into the house.
When I opened it, it was full of neat sacks!
Open a bag, it is the snow salt that the Cui family has been thinking about for a long time!
These piles in the yard alone are afraid that they all start from tens of thousands of catties!
When I walked into the house, I saw that there were still piles of these sacks!
One family is still like this.
Plus a few next to it......
Roughly calculated, at least two or three hundred thousand catties to start!
The housekeeper of the Cui family, who came over, was excited on the spot!
The transaction lasted for several days.
Every day, a large amount of grain is transported from different places, and generations of snow salt are taken with them when they leave!
On this day, the last batch of transactions was completed.
"It's a good collaboration." The housekeeper spoke: "In the future, when you bring snow salt, our Cui family will accept it all." ”
"Honorable butler." The representative of Fanshang smiled and said, "Why wait for later?" This time we brought a lot of snow salt. ”
"Does that mean you still have it in your hands now?" The housekeeper was stunned on the spot.
"Yes." The representative of Fanshang hurriedly replied: "But it's not in the city now, and it will take some time to transport it." ”
"How long will it take?" The butler narrowed his eyes.
"About ten days." Fanshang gave the answer.
Cui's compound.
When the housekeeper returned, he reported the news to the head of the house as soon as possible.
The head of the Cui family was surprised.
During this time, the snow salt I got back was two or three hundred thousand catties, why did I still have this business?
The head of the family's first reaction was that the merchant was bragging.
But on second thought, no!
The merchants don't dare, and there is no need to brag like this.
In their hands, there is really still it!
"The arranger continues to keep an eye on these merchants!" The head of the house commanded: "Try to find the place where they hide their goods!" ”
The head of the house is planning to do a black hand!
Find the location where the other party is hiding and give him a pot!
As for saying that their Cui family would do this, would it seem too inferior?
The head of the family said: It was the bandits and robbers who robbed them, what does it matter to our Cui family?
After all, it hasn't been long since Datang has just stabilized, isn't it normal to have a bandit or something?
This can only be blamed on the bad luck of these merchants, who happened to be unlucky.
And as a model of friendly businessmen, our Cui family will definitely lend a helping hand when the time comes.
After all, these fanshang brothers are not easy, we will definitely help them stop some losses at that time, right?
And in order to show friendship, I can also help them provide escort forces for free to help them return to their own country smoothly.
After all, there are still many dangers along the way, right?
As for the fact that we will take the opportunity to take this channel into our own hands later, our Cui family will definitely not do it!
This kind of thing, our family will definitely not do it!
We're just here to protect our friends!
After all, there are really not many people as kind and friendly as our Cui family these years.
For the next half month, the people of the Cui family have been keeping an eye on the residences of the merchants.
It's just that the results are a bit confusing for them.
These merchants only occasionally go out to buy a little daily necessities, and they haven't even been out of Chang'an City!
Bringing salt into the city must be inseparable from convoys.
But not to mention the convoy.
Except for the carriages that the merchants rode out, no carriages and horses have ever been here!
No cars and horses coming and going, which means no freight coming in......
Could it be that those fanshang were really bragging before?
But it doesn't make sense, does it?
If they're really out of stock, there's no reason to stay here for a long time?
In a blink of an eye, half a month has arrived.
The housekeeper of the Cui family brought someone to the door as promised.
No matter what these merchants do, you can understand it today!
If the time comes, they really are bragging......
How they ate the grain before that, they had to spit it out!
It's just that when the courtyard door opened, the housekeeper and others were collectively dumbfounded......
The yard is still full of neat sacks of horses!
The housekeeper inspected a few bags and found that they were all genuine snow salt!
Everyone in the Cui family was confused*2.
Doesn't make sense?
How is this possible?
However, no matter how much they couldn't believe it, the deal had to go on......
Cui's compound.
When he returned, the butler told the truth what he had seen and heard today.
This time it was the turn of the Cui family to be confused......
Isn't this fucking bullshit?
Obviously no carts and horses have come before, where did all this snow salt come from?
It can't just pop out of thin air, right?!
"The deal continues!" The head of the house commanded: "Send more men to keep an eye on it!" ”
He felt that the merchants must have used some means to evade the surveillance of their own people.
Although it may sound unlikely, it is more acceptable than popping out of thin air......
By the time this wave of trading was over, another few days had passed.
"Do you still have the goods?" The housekeeper asked as the previous master of the house had instructed.
"Honorable butler, the goods are naturally still available." Fanshang replied respectfully: "It will be there in ten days." ”
Soon, the news was brought back to Cui's house.
The head of the house is confused*3.
Not only is there still goods, but even the time it takes to bring them in is even shorter?
For the next ten days, the Cui family began to watch in shifts around the clock.
Truly realize 24-hour human flesh monitoring!
But the results still didn't change......
Mao's discovery was none.
When the housekeeper came to the door again, the yard was full of salt again......
To be honest, the head of the Cui family felt a little hairy in his heart......
It's so weird!
Is there ...... in this world?
Is there really a ghost that can't ......?
In the evening of that day, the Cui family welcomed several distinguished guests.
It's a real guest - the patriarch of several other families!
The arrival of these people caught the Cui family head off guard.
