"Yes, Xiao Congwen. You have to think clearly, this autumn is not a few days away, the weather is hot and you can't bake cured beef, who will buy ten catties of beef? If you can't finish eating, don't you want to get mold? ”

"Don't be reckless, this is two or three thousand catties of beef, you don't know what purchasing power the residents of Qingshan Town have?"

Several giants opened their mouths to persuade, Ye Congwen's surname is Ye after all, although he is small and looks incompatible with the giants of the two clans, he is also his own brother, and the blood relationship is still there, so naturally he can't be treated with outsiders.

"I have received the wishes of my brothers and sisters, but the pigeon bean sprouts are my cousin, I am her cousin, although I am not a few days old, I also have to protect her, right?

Besides, the pigeon bean sprouts are also afraid that I will be bored and risk my life to come to this barren mountain and wilderness to accompany me, and I can't let her be wronged. ”

Ye Congwen replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, the implication is that pigeon bean sprouts are not related to you, but they are related to me Ye Congwen, and they are my mother's niece, and you are targeting me if you target her.

Ye Ruwolf was furious when he heard it, and you couldn't listen to a word after talking to us for a long time? Obsessed, stubborn, and still ready to follow your old path, are the two fathers and sons going to be planted on the paper people of the Mu clan?

Ye Ruwolf was not angry but laughed:

"Now that your wings are stiff and grown, you can't listen to our brothers and sisters. Well, since you want to protect the Mu people, then I have to do business!

This pioneer cow is worth ten gold coins, and for the sake of your surname Ye, count it as nine gold coins. I don't care what method you two use, you can sell it in Qingshan Town or Wanquan County, as long as you hand over nine gold coins, I will not blame the past.

Otherwise, it will be deducted from your living expenses in the future until it is enough. Do you dare to say yes? ”

The pigeon bean sprouts grabbed Ye Congwen's arm violently, signaling him not to nod, autumn will be cold winter as soon as it passes, and when the time comes, thousands of miles of snow will drift and freeze, if there is not enough living expenses to buy rations and materials, wouldn't Ye Congwen be hungry alone?

"It's a deal!"

Ye Cong's bra promised that if the money was not enough, it would be a big deal to take his mother's gold bracelets and gold rings. Anyway, he is destined not to marry a daughter-in-law like this, and the heirloom is useless after all, so it is better to use it to solve the urgent need.

"Ye picks flowers and flies leaves, you two hurry up and cut out the beef, take a few brothers and sisters to send the beef to the wooden boat, fight quickly, don't delay his time."

Ye Ruwolf commanded coldly, turned around and walked towards the mountain, Hua Ruhu glanced at Ye Congwen helplessly, and followed silently. Due to the disadvantage of today's teacher, the plan to go home to celebrate can only be abandoned halfway, and the giants have to go up the mountain to hunt again, and one by one they go to the deep mountains with their heads down.

Ye Congwen knew that he had caused a big disaster today, but in order to appease the trembling pigeon bean sprouts, he had to pretend to be confident and help the giants carry the beef to the wooden boat.

"Xiao Congwen, are you really sure to earn nine gold coins back?"

Ye Jiehua saw that Ye Ruwolf was walking away, and asked secretly, and the few giants who stayed behind to help next to him also listened quietly.

"Mountain people have their own tricks, and I never bet unsure! Brother Feiye, you can wait for my good news with peace of mind! ”

Ye Congwen replied confidently, waved his hand at everyone, and quickly rowed towards Qingshan Town with the pigeon bean sprouts.

The wooden boat went out of Tieta Village, several streams converged into a river, at first glance the blue waves are sparkling, a look of quiet years, in fact, the undercurrent is surging, and the flow speed is amazing. Ye Congwen took advantage of the momentum to strengthen the paddling force, and the entire wooden boat was like an arrow off the string, galloping wildly, breaking through the water.

"From Brother Wen, have you really found a way to buy ten gold coins? Tell me about it, okay? ”

Pigeon pea sprouts squatted at the stern of the boat to clean the tripe and beef intestines, and asked very curiously. Counting the beef offal and cattle heads, there are only 3,000 catties in total, even if they are sold at the highest price of 15 wen a catty, they are all sold for only four gold coins!

It's a pity that there are only three or four hundred households in Qingshan Town, and the quality of the pioneer beef is too coarse, and the taste is far inferior to that of yellow beef, so it would be good to sell it for ten yuan a catty.

"I've already figured out how to sell all the beef, don't talk, let me think through the details."

Ye Congwen was rowing while thinking about the solution. As the saying goes, the wool comes from the sheep, and if you want to sell out the beef, you have to make a fuss about the group of animal trainers.

About two hours later, the wooden boat had already arrived at the destination of the trip———— Qingshan Town.

Qingshan Town is surrounded by mountains, living by the water, and the mountains are undulating and verdant, so it is named Qingshan Town. Backed by the Hundred Beasts Mountains, it is rich in wood, medicinal materials, and animal skins and game.

Relying on this tributary of Lishui, it can quickly reach the county capital and state government, and the water transportation is extremely developed. As a result, most of the townspeople make a living from it, and work more or less as sailors and porters.

As soon as Ye Congwen's wooden boat entered a small harbor, a group of dark-skinned men in short shirts surrounded him and asked flatteringly:

"Brother Xiaowen, what good goods did you get today, do you want to find a few brothers to help?"

Ye Congwen, as the bookkeeper of Tieta Village, was naturally remembered by these old rivers and lakes. After all, Tieta Village is the most powerful hunting village in the entire Qingshan Town, and the late autumn season is the peak hunting season, and often strong people are sent to hunt in the mountains. Only Ye Congwen, a small man, is alone with the boat, and sometimes he has to be a boatman. That's when the porters' business comes!

"Oops! This is a big commodity, three or four thousand catties, tsk, this meat is very tender, I'm afraid that it won't be sold at a good price after a long time! ”

Ye Congwen smiled noncommittally, looking at it like this, he was ready to sit on the ground and start the price. As soon as the pigeon bean sprouts heard that they could not be sold, they immediately became anxious, and they had the demeanor of rushing to the doctor in a hurry, and asked worriedly with a small face:

"We didn't stop all the way, we didn't think it was too late, what can we do? Uncle, are you saying that the bazaar is over now? ”

"It's not over, it's almost over."

The black-faced man was not in a hurry and talked about the gossip, and said in great surprise:

"Whose little fairy is this, she looks so handsome, why haven't I seen it before, tsk tsk......"

In the past, hearing this kind of compliment would have made the pigeon bean sprouts excited for a long time, but now they don't have the slightest thought. Looking back at Ye Congwen, he asked anxiously:

"Brother Congwen, what should we do?"

Ye Congwen is also half an old fritter, how can he let this group of people succeed, and said calmly:

"A total of 3,000 catties, all of them were picked up to the store in Tieta Village within half an hour, and those with less money and fast speed came to the boat to talk, and idlers were not allowed to enter."

"Brother Xiaowen, what kind of friendship do we have, and do we still need to do this?"

The black-faced man pulled Ye Congwen aside flatteringly and said softly.

"Twenty fold! How about a 20% discount? Seeing that Ye Congwen was unmoved, he pleaded with a bitter face:

"Brother, you can't go any lower, the brothers haven't started work today, so you have to give you food, right?"

"Friendship, why didn't you talk about friendship when you set my sister down just now? I see that you have been eating dock rice for many years, and your eyesight is almost gone, and your brain is not good!

Take a good look at the badge on the bow of this ship, and the people of Tieta Village dare to sit on the ground and raise the price? Believe it or not, if you take the money today, you will pay it back twice tomorrow, and those big men don't have the patience to reason with you. If you are unhappy, I will throw you down to the river to feed the king. ”

"It makes sense, it makes sense. I poured a few mouthfuls of yellow soup with my brother at noon, and did stupid things on impulse, hehe......"

Pigeon Bean Sprouts listened to the two of them chatter for a long time, and finally understood the reason, it was this black uncle who was cheating himself for a long time, and he really deceived me as a rookie! Immediately angry, pulled Ye Congwen and left. Seeing that the main owner was about to loosen his mouth, this little aunt and grandmother began to make waves again, and the black man couldn't speak in a hurry:

"Brothers, brothers, you have something to say! The business is all negotiated, and if you are not satisfied with the price, can you negotiate again? ”

"You're not honest, you're full of bad water, I don't want to deal with you."

The pigeon bean sprouts pouted, and he turned his head and was ready to ask other porters to negotiate the price.

"Little brother, can you give you seven folds? That's the lowest price! ”

"It's useless for you to tell me now, this pioneer bull was beaten by her brother, and she is the main one."

Ye Congwen spread his hands, saying that he couldn't help.

At this time, there were already several waves of people coming around, and the black man saw that the situation was not good, and promised repeatedly:

"Six percent off, six percent off, the lowest discount in the whole terminal, am I wrong? Little girl, you just look at the old man's age, there are old and young, it's not easy to make money, nod your head, how about I leave here and kowtow to you? ”

"Uncle Hei, don't be like this, how can a child bear it!"

Ye Congwen hurriedly stepped forward to persuade, pondered for a moment, and solemnly patted the black man's shoulder as if he had made a great determination and said:

"I don't want to take advantage of you, they are all people who work hard to eat, so let's do it, you pick and help me call and call along the way, advertise more, if it's all sold out, I'll give you a hundred percent and invite you to drink, how about it?"

As soon as the black man heard that the business had to be done, and there would be additional rewards if he did it well, he called the little brother righteous in his heart, so he didn't just shout a few times, and he should give it as an extra gift.

It is only half a mile from the dock to the market, and with the foot strength of these pickers, it takes about ten minutes to go back and forth. It is estimated that you can pick three round-trips in half an hour, two hundred catties and a load, which is more than enough for five people. Four men were called, and they roared:

"The action is sharp, Brother Ye said: Help advertise along the way, and he will invite you to drink when he turns around! By the way, how do you shout it? ”

Ye Congwen whispered a few words in the ear of the pigeon bean sprouts, and then said to the black man:

"Just shout after her when the time comes."

"Gotcha!"

The black man hurriedly prepared ropes and flat poles, and began to work quickly.

Ye Congwen instructed the pigeon bean sprouts, took a key, and then instructed:

"You go and clean the shop first, and then start selling when all the beef is ready, and I'll watch them pick up things, and I'll meet you later."

The first time the pigeon bean sprouts were promoted to the shopkeeper to open the shop, the two eyes were so excited that they were pregnant with a smile of expectation, and they were eager to try, and they rushed in front of everyone in three steps and two steps, and shouted excitedly as soon as they came ashore:

"Let one let let one, fresh pioneer beef, the only one in the town, unique, pass by, don't miss it!"

The sound is like a yellow bird, and it listens tactfully, attracting countless eyes to converge.

"Pioneer and reckless cattle, unique! Walk by and don't miss out! ”

The five big men roared out, which made the ears of others hot, and it was lively all the way, attracting children on the street to watch non-stop, and the popularity seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. Ye Congwen looked at the rolling crowd and thought a little worriedly:

"The pioneer cow is indeed a big cargo, I wonder if I can use it to catch another group of big goods?"
