"What rules?"

Huo Guang sold a pass: "Father, I'll tell you when my salt shop is up and running, it will be open the day after tomorrow, and I have to hurry up to make salt." ”

"It's still hidden with your father, little bunny."

Huo Guang had disappeared as soon as he slipped away, and had already left the Shaofu Courtyard.

Huo Zhongru threw away the information in his hand, and began to sleep without caring about anything.

On the street, the smoke and fire in the world were permeated, Huo Guang came to his salt shop, which was still being renovated, and Ah Hao was staring.

Seeing Huo Guang's arrival, the carpenter said: "Huo Gongzi, we made the thing you wanted overnight, and the furniture in the shop should be available before tomorrow night." ”

The things that need to be built are not too complicated, skilled carpentry, and in order to be fast, Huo Guang bought most of the things that were ready-made at home.

He was still very satisfied with the carpenter, so he asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Hui, Huo Gongzi, my surname is Li, and I am the fourth in the family, and everyone calls me Li Si." In this era, many people's names are very arbitrary, just to be able to call out.

"Are you interested in following me to open a salt shop?"

"Huo Gongzi, you're joking, I'm just a carpenter, how can I sell salt."

"It's okay, you think about it, if you feel like you want to follow me, come and talk to me."

After saying that, Huo Guang went to the back of the salt shop, and at this time, the equipment for refining salt was ready, and Huo Guang began to make it.

After having the equipment, Huo Guang's efficiency has improved a lot, he has calculated it himself, so that one stone a day is not a big problem, and this is still a case of doing it alone, finding someone to change shifts will definitely be more efficient.

Taking advantage of the fact that there is nothing to do now, Huo Guang has always been immersed in salt making, he buys salt from the stick gang, one stone only costs 350 yuan, and it can be sold for 600 yuan a stone when it is sold normally in the market, as a daily necessity, this profit is already very terrible.

And the cost of several other salt shops is actually very different.

The son was humming and refining salt, and Huo Zhongru, who was the father, was eating and drinking happily with Dou Lai.

The next county is actually not far away, and there are four counties under the jurisdiction of Hedong County, which is equivalent to four districts in a city.

Huo Zhongru was also not polite, he ordered all the delicacies of the mountains and seas that he had never tasted before, and ate them without any psychological burden.

After three rounds of drinking, Dou Lai asked with a smile: "Huo Shaofu, how are you eating?" ”

"The taste is good, the shopkeeper Dou arranged it very well."

Dou Lai glanced at the subordinate next to him, and the subordinate left for a while, and when he came back, he had an extra box in his hand and put it on the table respectfully.

Dou Lai pushed the box forward, looked at Huo Zhongru, and said with a flattering smile: "Huo Shaofu, these are a little of my thoughts, please accept them." ”

Huo Zhongru leaned on the back of the chair, squinted slightly, looked at the box in front of him, and looked at the size, if there was money in it, it would be much higher than his annual salary, maybe it was some other valuable thing, and the things taken out by people with heads and faces in the county town would definitely not be too bad.

At the moment when Dou Lai was about to open it, Huo Zhongru's hand pressed on the box, preventing Dou Lai from opening the box: "Shopkeeper Dou, what does this mean?" ”

"It's a little meaning, I hope Huo Shaofu will smile and help a lot."

"Shopkeeper Dou, this is boring."

"Huo Shaofu, I just mean it."

"Shopkeeper Dou, what do you mean?"

"It's all trivial, I hope Huo Shaofu can understand what I mean."

"You're an interesting person."

The box was pushed back and forth between the two of them but it was never opened, Huo Zhongru did things today very much in line with his own style, and he still firmly closed the box of the shopkeeper Dou, he really didn't dare to let Dou Lai open the box, he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the test.

People with weak willpower know how weak they really are, and now they are still holding on, if they open the gold and silver jewelry inside, they are afraid that they will really have to accept it.

has discussed countermeasures with Huo Guang, and his son said that he has a way, if he takes the money at this time, it will be bad, and he will not be able to raise his head in front of his son in the future.

In the end, Dou Lai was not allowed to open the box, and Huo Zhongru saw that it was not early and prepared to go home.

The carriage arranged by Dou Lai let him be sent not far from the door of his house, his own house was too shabby, and he didn't want people to see it, so he got out of the carriage in advance.

"Shopkeeper Dou, I'll take my leave first."

"Huo Shaofu, go slowly."

Huo Zhongru looked drunk, but when he walked on both sides and turned into a small alley, he disappeared from Dou Lai's sight.

After the person disappeared, Dou Lai shook the curtain of the carriage and said with some resentment: "The guy who doesn't know how to lift is really a big man, but he is lucky to have a good son." ”

"Shopkeeper, what does it mean that this Huo Shaofu doesn't accept anything, and he specially leaves our family affairs behind?"

Dou Lai's eyes narrowed slightly: "Does he know that my relationship with the Dou family is bad?" ”

"The shopkeeper, if he really knows, what can he do?"

"Hmph, although I don't accept gifts, but I don't want to eat and drink, maybe I don't think I'm satisfied with the size of this gift box, this guy is even more greedy than the previous Shaofu."

"The shopkeeper, plus it, is more than the county magistrate."

Dou Lai kept an eye on him: "He said that there are new rules, I don't know if it's a pretext or true, I want to see if he breaks the old rules, who can do it with peace of mind, Huo Qu's illness can still come every three or five times We can't do it here?" Go, go home. ”

……

Dou Lai's carriage went away, his face turned red, and Huo Zhongru, who was full of wine, was leaning against the wall of the alley and looked up at the bright galaxy, and knocked the back of his palm: "Yes, this has to make me push a lot of money out, let's go to the Shaofu Courtyard tomorrow and let them carve a bright plaque for me." ”

While feeling a little pity, but on the other hand, he couldn't suppress a faint smile, like a child who had been praised.

Walking to the door of the house, there was a faint light in the house, and he entered the house cautiously, Huo Guang had already fallen asleep on the bed, and today he was humming and refining salt, Huo Guang felt as if he was here to do labor, and he lay down and went to bed early.

Ah Hao is still in the salt shop, and he is rushing to work with the carpenter, and the carpenter really says that he can't delay Huo Guang's opening, so he worked overtime overnight today.

Huo Zhongru walked to Huo Guang's side, looked at his sleeping son, smiled involuntarily, stretched out his hand and carefully stroked Huo Guang's cheek: "Silly son, you are so old unconsciously, and you also said that you are going to join the army, and you have no life to go back when you go to the battlefield, you, you, when you see your eldest brother, you say that you want to follow, you know whether he is a good person or a bad person, our father and son will continue to rely on each other in the future." ”
