"Dalang."

When the leading Biao Ye saw Lu Yuan, especially the big back basket behind him, he immediately showed a smile.

Unceremoniously walked to the back basket, opened it and looked at it, put aside the worthless rabbit skins, and when he saw the wild yellow dog skins inside, his eyes lit up, and he sighed: "There are three big skins, Dalang, you have gained a lot in the past two months." ”

"It's all the blessing of Tuo Biaoye." Lu Yuan complimented him twice, but he secretly scolded in his heart, when he met this pickpocket, it seemed that he was going to bleed this time.

Biao Ye laughed twice, put down the lid of the back basket, looked at him and said, "You know the rules, the protection fee for the goods is thirty percent." The skin you have here is worth two taels of silver, and this time you will collect six pieces of silver for the protection fee. ”

"The villain understands."

When Lu Yuan heard the other party's asking price, his heart was dripping blood, and when he looked at the smiling Biao Ye in front of him, he couldn't wait to cut him directly.

But seeing the other party's strong physique, as well as the three or five horses behind him, this crazy thought was extinguished in an instant.

Although he is a hunter and his skills are not bad, it is obviously a joke to say that he can single-handedly take on three or five strong men.

Not to mention that this is the city, it is the other party's lair, they have an accident, and the Black Wolf Gang can come immediately after receiving the news.

At that time, the Black Wolf Gang and the government will cooperate, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to get out of the city, and I will be taken by the other party.

Therefore, it is impossible to do it, and only by paying the protection fee honestly can you do business safely.

Lu Yuan honestly took out five hundred and forty copper coins from his arms, counted them carefully, and handed them to the other party.

One tael of silver is equal to ten yuan, that is, nine hundred wen. Six pieces of silver is five hundred and forty wen.

When these copper coins were going down the mountain, he knew that it was inevitable that such two layers of exploitation would be made, and he had already prepared them.

"This is the protection fee, Master Biao, you can collect it."

Biao Ye took the copper coin and flipped it, his eyes glanced at the remaining copper coin in Lu Yuan's hand, and there was a trace of greed in his eyes, but then it disappeared in a flash.

Although the other party has a lot of money left, it may still look like a few hundred yuan.

But to do their job, what is important is a trickle of water and long-term work.

At this time, the exploitation is too much, that is, he is fishing with all his might, and it is likely that this kid will not come to the county to do business in the future.

After all, in the face of peeling and sucking the pulp, few people can stand it.

Everyone has to live.

You're stripping people of the house right now, and there's not a penny left.

What should I do with the other person's life?

Don't buy rice, buy salt, buy trivial life; Don't you save money to marry a wife and have children?

Besides, the Orion profession is in the company of fierce beasts, fighting all year round, and it is somewhat ferocious and bloody. If you don't give these people a way to live, people will naturally not give you a way to live.

Biao Ye would not think that the boy in front of him who is only willing to promise and honestly pays money is really like the cowardice he looks like on the surface.

Maybe in private, Da Lang, this kid has been arranging for a long time, and he wants to stab himself to death.

So Biao Ye, who was very compelled in his heart, after confirming that the protection fee was fine, took the money into his arms, patted Lu Yuan's shoulder with the other hand, and said, "Yes, pay the money honestly, and you are much more comfortable than other people who don't have long eyes." Well, go about your business with peace of mind. ”

"Yes, the little one knows."

Lu Yuan continued to smile, resisting the urge to slash this guy to death with a knife, and sent the other party away in a fool's way.

……

After paying the money twice in a row, finally no one bothered me anymore.

Lu Yuan, who had paid enough protection fees, carried a basket on his back at this time and went to a fur shop that he was familiar with.

"Shopkeeper Liu, you are in charge. My skins are basically intact, there are not many chips and scars, and the coat color is also very shiny, but they are all ready-to-go. ”

In the four-currency bank, Lu Yuan took out a few skins from the back basket and tried his best to sell them to a smiling fat shopkeeper in front of him.

Listening to his narration, Shopkeeper Liu couldn't stop nodding, and his mouth was mummmm

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, Shopkeeper Liu touched the skin, felt the delicate touch, and said leisurely: "It is indeed a high-quality product, but these skins are all inferior skins that are not very valuable."

Inferior goods, no matter how good the quality is, it is not worth much.

Not to mention, there are many incomplete parts of your skins. ”

Lu Yuan's heart sank.

The other party's words are nothing more than two words, price reduction.

However, for this, he had expected it, as long as it was not pressed too hard, it was acceptable.

Therefore, he simply asked, "How much is the shopkeeper willing to pay?" ”

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and stretched out two fingers: "Two taels of silver." ”

This price code, just like what Biao Ye said before, is indeed about the same market price, but it is also the lowest price.

How could Lu Yuan accept this, so he shook his head: "It's too low." I have to add more, or I'd rather go out and set up my own stall to sell. ”

Although the Sitong Trading House specializes in the fur business, it is the largest in this county, and it can even be said that it has a monopoly on trading.

However, in addition to shops, retail investors are not prohibited from setting up stalls to sell their own in the bazaar.

Lu Yuan had already paid enough protection money to the city gate tax collector and the Black Wolf Gang, and honestly obeyed the rules.

Therefore, even if Sitong Commercial Bank must have an inextricable relationship with the Black Wolf Gang behind it, it is impossible for the Black Wolf Gang to make a move and continue to run over to embarrass him, a person who has already paid the protection fee.

So it works for Lu Yuan to set up a stall to sell fur by himself.

However, in this way, if you want to finish the skin in your hand in a short time, it will be impossible, and it will take at least two or three days to set up a stall.

In this case, he will have to spend money to live in the city, and during this time, it will be another expense.

Therefore, in order to save money and trouble, most of the hunters selling fur directly find a big shop like Sitong Commercial Bank and directly do a one-time bulk transaction.

Of course, if the fur shop lowers the price too hard, the hunters will naturally not really suffer from the wrongs. I'd rather be tired and troublesome myself, and set up a stall to sell goods.

Anyway, it was all fur that he got at the risk of his own life, who was willing to sell it cheaply?

Shopkeeper Liu also knew this, so after seeing Lu Yuan's face, he groaned for a while, and shook his two fingers outstretched: "Add two hundred more at most." ”

Two thousand copper coins.

Lu Yuan calculated the other party's bid, which was about the same as the previous transaction price, this should be the bottom line of the other party, and it was impossible to raise the price upward, so he nodded and said, "Yes, the deal." ”

Shopkeeper Liu's face was suddenly soothed, and he ordered the man to take the fur, while he took out the silver from the counter and delivered it, which was considered to be the completion of the transaction.

Lu Yuan secretly complained in his heart.

The entry tax is 100 wen, the protection fee is 540 wen, and the skin was sold for a total of 2,000 wen, and only 1,360 wen was earned.

After the original body and his own crossing, he worked hard for two months, and he was able to earn one or two or five dollars of silver.

On average, less than one or two a month.

The coolies who work hard in the city earn more than one or two a month.

That's really ......

"Sure enough, Orion's identity as a black household is really inappropriate!"

Lu Yuan lamented in his heart, but he made up his mind even more that he must get rid of the restrictions of this identity as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it would be too uncomfortable to be tied up in doing things.
