"Where did you fight?"

A shopkeeper looked out at the door of his house.

It's strange that none of these people are running in one direction, and none of them enter the door!

"Shopkeeper, there is no fighting!"

The shopkeeper dropped the rag and said dejectedly.

"Then why are they all going east? Seems to be in a hurry? Isn't there something buzzing? ”

The shopkeeper turned his head suspiciously.

"Shopkeeper, you have been settling accounts behind the counter today, busy changing the menu, naturally I don't know ......!"

The shopkeeper pouted and said in frustration: "The refined salt sold in the city a few days ago has also started to be sold by the official salt store today!" ”

"What? The official salt store also started to sell? Isn't it private salt this time? ”

As soon as he heard the word refined salt, the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up.

The last time he bought salt, he didn't have enough money, so he only spent ten gold to buy a pound of refined salt, and he heard that it was private salt, so he was afraid for several days.

If the official salt also has that quality, even if you go out to borrow money, you have to buy more!

"Yes, this time it's not private salt, but the price is ...... Still...... Still......! ”

Speaking of the price, the shopkeeper was hesitant for a long time, and he didn't say why.

"What? ...... price increases? Even if the price increases, it is understandable, after all, it is official salt, and the quality is very good! ”

The shopkeeper showed a very understanding expression and continued to ask, "How much has it risen?" One percent? Twenty percent? Or is it a direct double? ”

"Neither!"

Xiao Er shook his head.

"What the hell is going on, you say!"

Seeing his appearance, the shopkeeper was anxious and wanted to go up and slap him.

"Yes...... It's down! ”

"Down? Why didn't the price of official salt rise, but it fell? ”

The shopkeeper looked puzzled and a little confused.

Normally, the illicit salt is stolen through some improper channels, and I can't wait to sell it quickly, so the price will be lower than normal.

If official salt also has this quality, it must be higher than private salt!

It's the first time that it doesn't go up but goes down!

"How much?"

"Ten...... Ten texts! ”

The shopkeeper frowned, and he couldn't bear to say.

"Haha, I thought it would be a drop, but only ten cents was not a ......!"

When the shopkeeper heard the number, he suddenly laughed, "I'll just say it!" When did the official family have such a conscience, not only did it not increase the price, but it dropped, and it turned out that it was only a drop of a loss! ”

"No, shopkeeper, it's not ten Wen, it's ten Wen!"

Xiao Er's emphasis was word-by-word.

"What?"

The smile on the shopkeeper's face instantly froze, staring at him as if he had seen a ghost.

"Shopkeeper, when I just went out to pick up firewood, I heard the people on the street say, the official salt store is on sale today, and the little boy is also here, and he personally priced ten cents and one tael, and the quality is the same as before, it seems that the little boy has purified the inland salt, so the output of refined salt has increased greatly, and the price is naturally cheap!"

The shopkeeper reported what he heard truthfully.

"Drop to ten cents and one tael? Did you hear it right? ”

The shopkeeper still couldn't believe it.

He spent ten gold to grab a pound of refined salt before, and it was only three days later, and the salt at home was only worth a hundred yuan?

Wouldn't that mean all his money was wasted?

"That's right, it's really ten wen and one tael, one hundred wen and one catty, you see that the people outside are all in a hurry to buy salt!"

Xiao Er pouted towards the door.

The people of Xianyang City are all rushing to buy salt, not to mention that there is no business today, it is estimated that there is no business in the past few days!

"Oops......"

The shopkeeper turned his head to look at the people who were running quickly at the door, and suddenly his heart beat faster, he had difficulty breathing, and he clutched his chest uncomfortably.

His shop is not big, and Daqin's taxes are high, so it is not easy to save these ten metals.

Now it's gone, who can accept it?

Fortunately, he bought less, and he earned it back after working for a year and a half, but the Cui family was different.

At this time, Cui Sheng was hung on the beam of the house by Lao Tzu Cui Jingtong and whipped with a leather whip!

The skin that was originally white is now whip-scarred and bloodstained.

The original wife still knelt on the ground and pleaded with tears in her eyes, "Master, Sheng'er is your biological son, are you going to kill him?" ”

"Humph! Biological son? Is his own son so cheating? I think he is colluding with those salt dealers, it seems that he is making money! ”

Cui Jingtong held the leather whip in his hand, his chest continued to rise and fall, panting heavily, obviously angry.

"How can you say that, sir? Children are still young, it is inevitable to do wrong things, money is something outside the body, let's make it again if we don't have it! ”

Madame cried and persuaded.

"Earn? It's easy to say, that's more than 3,000 gold, how long will it take for our Cui family to earn it back? Do you really think that all the gold is blown by the wind? ”

The more Cui Jingtong spoke, the more angry he became, and he went up with another whip, and the blood stains suddenly exploded.

Cui Sheng, who was in pain, screamed, "Oops! ”

"Master, you extinguish the fire, the eldest young master is young, and he has been lingering in the Qinglou, how can you see through that people are liars!"

A concubine held a silk handkerchief and stroked Cui Jingtong's chest.

said that it was to dissipate his anger, but in fact it was adding fuel to the fire!

"Smack......

"Wow......!"

Sure enough, after listening to the concubine's persuasion, Cui Jing went up with another whip, this time using more force than before, it was not a blood mark at all, he saw blood directly, and he was still cursing in his mouth, "Special mother, he is still young when he is twenty years old?" I don't do anything all day, I just want to go to the Qinglou, pick up girls, when Lao Tzu is as old as him, he has already inherited the mantle and started to make wine and do business! ”

"Smack......

may feel that he still doesn't understand his hatred, and it's a whip to go up.

"Ah......h

"Dad, you can't blame me for this, those people are selling in Xianyang City with great fanfare, how do I know that they are selling illegal salt? If I knew, I wouldn't dare to buy it! Besides, I only bought one catty, and my father asked me to buy the other 100 people! ”

"Smack......

"You kid is still reasonable!"

"Sizzle......! Oops......! Dad, no one would have thought that the refined salt, which was more precious than gold before, would be rotten on the street all of a sudden! ”

Cui Sheng: This is called an injustice.

I don't know who pushed him out to buy salt a few days ago!

I didn't think it was enough to buy it back, so I drove the carriage to send money to others, but the salt was not loaded on the carriage and came back, but my own Lao Tzu was pulled back lying on the carriage!

After fainting for a day and a night, he lay in bed and rested for two days, and as soon as he recovered his strength, he heard the bad news, and immediately tied him up, and he was beaten with a leather whip.

"I'll let you kid talk back!"

"Smack...... Smack......"

Cui Jingtong gritted his teeth, went up with two more whips, and vented all the hatred in his heart on his son.

I always felt that if it wasn't for this kid's beginning, he wouldn't have spent those thousands of gold!
