After Liu Yan, Chen Xun and others came out of the Hundred Household Official Hall, Chen Xun and the others discussed excitedly, this is more than three hundred taels of silver, several people have never seen so much silver in their lives, if it weren't for Liu Yan ordering a few people to be cautious, it is estimated that Chen Xun and the others would have been shouting all over the street at this time.

"Captain A, since we have already got the silver, let's go back now."

Chen Xun is now eager to fly back to Dapandun immediately and bring back the more than 300 taels of silver, so that everyone in the pier will be happy and happy.

But Liu Yan was not in a hurry, and said: "Let's go to a few oil mills first, the price of soybean oil we bought before was too high, and we had to find a cheap oil mill, and the cost of this soap still has room to fall." ”

Chen Xun had been to Wangjiazhuang a few times and was familiar with this place, so he pointed to the front and said: "Chief Jia, there are two oil mills over there, which are relatively large-scale, but they are both the industries of Old Lady Xu. We also bought soybean oil over there. ”

Liu Yan frowned slightly and asked, "How do you know that it is the Xu family's industry?" ”

"Chief A doesn't know that the oil mills, rice shops and other shops in Wangjiazhuang are all the Xu family's industry nine times out of ten. The ownership of these two oil mills is known to the surrounding people. ”

Liu Yan nodded, he didn't expect that the Xu family's power in Wangjiazhuang was really big, and they almost monopolized the commercial shops in Wangjiazhuang.

Chen Xun looked at Liu Yan's thoughtful appearance and asked, "Chief A, then shall we go to these two houses to have a look?" ”

"Let's take a look, at least look at the soybean oil market first."

So everyone drove over in ox carts and looked at the soybean oil sold by the two oil mills. But the result made Liu Yan very disappointed, the soybean oil sold by these two oil mills is very expensive, and the price has exceeded Liu Yan's psychological expectations.

At this time, the prices of the people in the Ming Dynasty were expensive, and Liu Yan was already somewhat psychologically prepared. You must know that during the Wanli period, the price of a pound of soybean oil in Shandong was only five cents of silver, but now it is generally sold for a pound of silver, which has doubled!

Liu Yan and others have looked at the two oil mills of the Xu family, but a pound of soybean oil is sold for one dollar and five dollars, and the soybean oil sold is not only of poor oil quality, but also has a lot of impurities, and the price cannot be bargained.

What made Liu Yan and the others even more annoyed was that the guys in these two oil mills were very arrogant, as if they were not selling soybean oil and vegetable oil, but jade antiques, but the door-to-door business seemed to be a gift. Where is this guy in the oil mill, he is clearly an evil servant of dogs and people, and after asking about it, Liu Yan and the others are very angry.

"Let's look elsewhere."

Liu Yan's face is not very good-looking, although he now has more than three hundred and fifty taels of silver in his hand, but these are Liu Yan's starting capital, even if there are more, he can't wait to break a copper plate into eight petals to flower, so he naturally refuses to continue to buy these high-priced inferior soybean oils.

Besides, these two oil mills are still the property of Mrs. Xu, and she will not do those things that are controlled by others.

So a few people got on the ox cart again and walked around Wangjiazhuang.

However, just when the ox cart was about to turn the corner, Liu Yan suddenly saw that the courtyard door of the backyard of the Xu family's oil mill was wide open, and two guys came out of it, and there were more than a dozen wanderers behind them, and this group of people was not a good person at first glance.

Liu Yan silently remembered the outfits and general appearance of the two guys, and then continued to move forward in an ox cart.

At this time, there are three streets in Wangjiazhuang: east, west and south, and the west street is mostly groceries, cooked food shops, pawnshops, rice shops and other shops, so Liu Yan and others came directly to the west street to wander around.

Not long after, Liu Yan saw a shop called Wanfu Oil Mill, so he stopped the ox cart and took Chen Xun forward to ask.

At this time, the outside of Wanfu Oil Mill was already crowded with people who came to buy oil, a few guys were just busy in the oil mill, and there were some idlers watching the excitement in the distance, which was also the most lively place in Wangjiazhuang.

Liu Yan looked around, and suddenly found that some of the people in the crowd who were watching the excitement were obviously the owners and men of the other two oil mills, and they were just looking at the situation in the shop with angry eyes. One of them was the guy from the Xu family oil mill I saw before.

"Things are getting interesting!"

Liu Yan sneered in his heart, his thoughts began to turn, and he soon had a plan.

At this time, in the oil mill, Liu Yan saw that there was a woman who was busy, and beckoned the guys to be busy from time to time. I saw that the woman was twenty-one or two years old, dressed in armor, and her expression was quite capable.

Although this woman didn't have any delicate makeup and didn't wear any gorgeous clothes, she was very delicate, and there was an indescribable beauty between her eyebrows, which made Liu Yan's eyes shine.

"There is such a woman in this Wangjiazhuang!"

Chen Xun was already queuing up here, and Liu Yan was standing on the side looking at the oil mill.

The soybean oil sold by the previous two oil mills was sold at a price of one and a half dollars, but this Wanfu oil mill put up a sign that said that the soybean oil sold was only one penny and silver, which was considered parity.

Moreover, Liu Yan also noticed that many of the people in the queue were old customers, and they were all praising the soybean oil and rapeseed oil of Wanfu Oil Mill for their good quality and sufficient portions.

"This Wanfu Oil Mill is still a conscientious vendor, no wonder."

Liu Yan looked at the guys from the two oil mills outside, and had a plan in his heart, so he came to the crowd and whispered to Chen Xun: "You take the two brothers to stand aside, take the wooden sticks from the ox cart, and wait for my order." ”

Chen Xun was slightly stunned, then he understood, and turned around to greet the two dun soldiers under him.

Liu Yan lined up in the crowd for a while, and then came to the oil mill, the woman in charge held a wooden spoon for oiling in one hand and an oil can in the other, and asked with a smile: "Does this military master buy soybean oil or rapeseed oil?" ”

Liu Yan looked at the oil mill and did not answer, but asked: "Dare to ask this girl, I don't know who the shopkeeper's surname is?" Who is the girl who is in charge? ”

The woman looked at Liu Yan in surprise, thinking that Liu Yan was a frivolous and broken army, and a trace of unhappiness surged in her heart. However, the woman didn't want to cause trouble, so she still replied: "The shopkeeper is the father of the little woman, and the father's name is Wang Jing." I don't know what happened to the military master? ”

Liu Yan said with a smile: "I see that your business is very good, much stronger than the other two oil mills, so I was curious for a while, so I wanted to get to know the shopkeeper, it was a little abrupt, and I also looked at the girl Haihan." ”

The woman was slightly stunned, the look on her face looked better, and hurriedly said, "Where is it, I don't know what kind of oil the military master wants, how much does he want?" ”

"Soybean oil, let's get twenty catties first."

"Good!"

The woman skillfully oiled, weighed, filled, and packaged, and the procedures were dried one by one, and she soon made 20 catties of soybean oil.

Liu Yan gave two taels of silver and took over the oil tank that had been lifted with hemp rope.

"Master Jun has eaten well, please come back next time."

"I will."

Liu Yan glanced at the woman again, then turned around and left the oil mill, leaving the woman a little inexplicably strange, and then was interrupted by the customers queuing behind her.

Here, Liu Yan did not go far, but came to the corner of the street, where Chen Xun and the three were already waiting, and the ox cart was also parked beside it.

Liu Yan put the oil tank on the ox cart, Chen Xun had already prepared the thick hemp rope and a lot of wood chips, squatted on the ox cart himself, and carefully tied and fixed the oil tank.

Then Chen Xun asked, "Captain A, but someone wants to trouble us?" ”

The other two dun soldiers also took the wooden sticks and looked at Liu Yan nervously, not knowing who to clash with.

Liu Yan looked in the direction of the crowd, and at this time, the guys from the two oil mills had already left, leaving only one person to watch in the crowd. Liu Yan understood that those people were going to prepare, and it seemed that this Wanfu Oil Mill was going to be robbed today.

"It's not that we're in trouble, it's them!"

Liu Yan pointed to Wanfu Oil Mill, Chen Xun thought thoughtfully for a while, and then said with a smile: "Didn't Chief A Mo want to come to a hero to save the United States?" I think the girl from the Wanfu Oil Mill is really beautiful, and she just happened to marry her to warm the house for Jiachang. ”

Liu Yan scolded with a smile, he was not going to go to this troubled water for a woman, but to win a long-term and stable supplier, and the necessary investment was still necessary.

At this moment, Liu Yan suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of loafers coming from the west, the number of people was about twelve or three, it was the group of people who came out of the Xu family oil mill, but the guys from the Xu family oil mill had disappeared.

At this time, those loafers were all holding sticks, and they were scolding and scolding, directly breaking up the crowd outside Wanfu Oil Mill.

"Get out of here, fucking fuck out of the way!"

"Listen to me, from now on, you are not allowed to buy oil here, whoever dares to buy it again, Lao Tzu will break your legs!"

"This Wanfu Oil Mill will be closed from today to thank customers, and get out of the way!"

Just when those wanderers dispersed the surrounding crowd, a man in his forties came out of the Wanfu Oil Mill, looking at the man's clothes and age, Liu Yan expected that this person was the woman's father, Wang Jing.

I saw that the man stepped forward with his fists clenched, and without saying a word to the leader of the wanderer, he was knocked to the ground by several wanderers, and the surrounding people were suddenly in chaos.

At this moment, the woman hurriedly rushed out of the Wanfu Oil Mill, still holding a wooden spoon for oiling, and kept waving it around her, trying to protect her father.

And those loafers were not afraid, and they all smiled evilly around Wang Jing's father and daughter, and a few more obscene loafers did not attack the woman, causing a group of loafers to let out bursts of lewdness ~ laughter from time to time.

Seeing this, Liu Yan's face turned cold, and Chen Xun also cheered up when he saw this.

"It's your turn."

Liu Yan said to Chen Xun in a cold voice: "You go over to protect the two of them, and I will take care of the rest." ”

Seeing this, Liu Yan waved his hand violently, and Chen Xun and the three rushed forward with wooden sticks: "Get an order!" ”

Although Chen Xun is very inconspicuous in Dapandun on weekdays, he can still go up at a critical time.

I saw Chen Xun roar and rushed forward with two dun soldiers, and the three of them used Chen Xun as an arrow, and directly crashed into a group of loafers in a triangular formation, and the three of them kept shouting and waving sticks, which caught the unsuspecting loafers off guard, and they all flashed to the side with a scream of pain.

Although the three of them haven't practiced for a long time, they are also dun soldiers, and they can fight a lot better than these loafers, and the three of them quickly rushed to the side of Wang Jing's father and daughter, and then roared angrily and confronted a group of loafers.
