Such a white salt will be sold for 110 or 120 yuan a pound no matter what.

Liu Laozhu is knowledgeable.

After all, his wife went to the county last time and bought home a hundred pounds of salt mixed with impurities. The refined salt in front of you is obviously more delicate than the salt stored at home.

"That noble man gave you eighty-five yuan, and you will pay me back this price directly?"

Mrs. Xu looked at Liu Laozhu:

"There are few rich people in the village, but there are always people in a few villages who are about the same as you, I think you sell one hundred and one thousand, and those who know the goods can buy a few catties, like the Bai family.

Although the number of catties is not much, you can't earn much, but it is enough to earn a day's money for the hotel, I want you to earn a little, how can I increase the price? ”

Liu Laozhu was moved, and he didn't add a penny to the sister of the Xu family, so in order to reduce his burden, he changed the way to help him share the expenses along the way. Fifteen catties of salt is indeed not much of a difference, but he is sincerely trying his best to help him, and he does not hide his selfishness at all.

"Don't you keep some for yourself, you have to store more salt when you open a shop."

Liu Laozhu was worried about whether to buy more salt and bring it back. You can buy more will pressure money, there is no wholesale price of salt, at most the city is large, salt can be cheaper, and it is not profitable. He knew that cooking rice with coarse salt had a bitter taste, and it was a necessity.

Liu Laozhu wanted to persuade Mrs. Xu not to lose a big deal because of a small thing, not to learn from the style of the mother-in-law in the village, just look at the little saved in front of you, that is the frog at the bottom of the well. You must know that only by eating well and paying first can you earn money, especially when the Xu family sells expensive things, you still have to keep some good salt.

However, Liu Laozhu opened his mouth and closed it again.

Because he glanced at the table, there were oily noodles and sesame seeds left over from Mrs. Xu's pastries for Tian Xin's girl last night, and then smacked his lips and recalled the twenty-five dollars a pound of oranges he ate last night.

Compared with daring to spend money, the Xu family's sister seems to understand these truths better than him.

Especially recently, he has always been in contact, and many of the behaviors of the Xu family's sister have confused him, like the wife of a big family, but now she is down, anyway, she is more like a city person than him, that is really daring to spend money, and her hands are loose.

"Okay, I'll accept this love. Such a white fine salt, in fact, I don't plan to sell it to anyone. ”

Liu Laozhu babbled a few more words, he thought that some of the words in his heart could only be told to Mrs. Xu, and only the sisters of the Xu family would understand him:

"Like the Bai family that you and I both know, I think that our village has a lot of stone pots and large jars on credit from him, this is a favor.

Favors must always be returned. Although the money is owed after the year, no one in the village will pay the debt.

But when I came to the door cheekily, I didn't mention it, in fact, I wasn't familiar with people before, and the Bai family was able to believe me and give me a staircase to go down, that taste, who has tasted it, who knows.

I don't know how to thank you for the New Year's holiday, I want to give people two catties of salt, what do you think?

However, don't worry, girl, where did this salt come from, out of your mouth, to me, stop here, I won't mention you at all, and I will never delay you.

It is only said that it is not easy to go to the city, the best ones in the official salt shops are not sold in the county, and the nobles in the city often buy and eat to give him some. ”

Liu Laozhu guessed that the noble man of the Xu family should be the chief steward of the kitchen stove, and the housekeeper was using a small amount of fifteen catties of salt to test whether the Xu family's sister was strict or not. If it hadn't been a bad thing for the person who often kept salt privately, he would have cooperated with Xu Jiachang in the future.

There is such a noble person in the Gaomen compound to help, and any delicious food can be introduced in the future.

The sister of the Xu family has always felt empathy for him, and Liu Laozhu felt that he also had to put himself in the shoes of the Xu family.

And there are some words that don't need to be mentioned, this is called tacit understanding.

Otherwise, why did the Xu family sister open a restaurant but didn't leave a pound of fine salt?

He guessed that he was waiting for the noble steward to continue to use the private salt to settle the account next time, maybe the next delivery of the Xu family would arrive, about winter.

Mrs. Xu squinted at Liu Laozhu: Yo, decent, Liu is decent, and he knows how to give gifts to others, so he pretends to have low emotional intelligence in front of his brother and brother.

Mrs. Xu didn't mention a word about her when she heard it, her eyes flashed, and she guessed that Liu Laozhu's old guy estimated that he had made up a lot of brains.

She only brought out fifteen catties of salt this time, which was indeed a test. was also accidentally made too white by her granddaughter, and she didn't dare to sell more, and she wanted to wait for the next time she made money at home to make less eye-catching.

Early in the morning of the second day, Mrs. Xu began to spend money and finally started.

She first bought a lot of wooden bowls and wooden cups with Xu Tianxin, and also bought six cheaply treated mud teapots at the stall, which she planned to use in the shop.

There is no need to buy chopsticks, and the second son in the family should be prepared a lot.

The grandfather and grandson carried two big burdens, put the bags full of cups and rice bowls on the kang in the inn, locked the door, and then went to Buzhuang to meet Liu Laozhu at the agreed time.

At that time, Liu Laozhu had already taken the village boys to buy two truckloads of wine.

In order to bargain for a few cents, the wine is carried by the boys themselves, and the store does not care.

A total of 50 altars were purchased, including 10 altars brought by Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu asked Liu Laozhu to help buy the cheapest sorghum wine, thirty catties per jar.

She bought these first, went back to try distilling high-grade liquor, and did not force Fucheng to buy more if the liquor was cheaper. The wine can't run away, so you can let the three boys buy it back next time they deliver it. So today, Xu Youcang was deliberately asked to follow Liu Laozhu around.

I heard that Liu Laozhu was also very solid with the third child, and even the wholesale pepper materials and other things specially introduced the third child to the owner of the store. Tell people that next time let Xu Youcang help replenish the goods.

The shopkeeper asked, where did you open your shop? Liu Laozhu also made up the name of the shop, lying that he was the largest grocery store in the town.

At this time, it was time to go to Buzhuang.

Hu Yicheng's sister-in-law found that the country boys were dazzled when they entered the store, she didn't laugh, on the contrary, because of her brother's face and the fact that the trader often smiled and was very enthusiastic.

I thought: I heard that these people are from the town below, not to mention that the town is the county, and there must be no two-story cloth village. Although she is a little worse than the real big store, it's no wonder that everything is new.

Hu Yicheng's sister-in-law asked Xiao Er to pour water for everyone.

Liu Laozhu took off the hat buttoned on his head, revealing his loose coiled hair, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop him: "The lady of the owner doesn't need to be polite, we are not thirsty." I'm afraid that you won't be able to keep busy, so I brought the children in the family, thinking that I would load the car myself. ”

After a while, let the boys follow the shopkeeper to load 300 catties of cotton into the car, and then guard outside.

I specially introduced Mrs. Xu to the lady of the owner: "This is my old sister, the man's surname is Xu." She wants to buy cotton alone, and you pay that price, and we have to buy a lot of cloth alone. I don't know what kind of cloth is made of shoes, what kind of cloth is sewn clothes, you are all women who understand this, please introduce it. ”

The lady of the proprietor almost thought that this was a family of two, so the sister-in-law called out and made an embarrassment, and wondered, why don't more than ten boys look alike, and then form a family?
