Chapter 31: Being Targeted
Refined salt is much better than coarse salt.
Generally, the refined salt produced by the Yali salt field in the county.
can be sold for 150 wen a catty!
And refined salt is often out of stock.
The landlords in the city sometimes had to go elsewhere to buy refined salt.
Zhang Luo handed over all the salt boxes in his hand to Zhang He.
Mu Ran's Zhang and stammered while holding the salt box and asked:
"Zhang, Brother Zhang Luo, don't you go in together?"
Zhang Luo is known as the nephew of the third master.
He is two years older than Zhang He.
Therefore, Zhang also called Zhang Luo his brother.
Zhang Luo shook his head with a smile and said:
"Remember to cover your face with a cloth when you go in, so that no acquaintance will recognize you."
"After the salt is sold, I pay the tax and come out immediately, do you know?"
Although Zhang He didn't understand why Zhang Luo paid so much attention.
But he still nodded and agreed to Zhang Luo.
Wait until Zhang He enters Houyin Street.
Zhang Wangsheng turned his head and asked:
"Brother Zhang Luo, isn't it a worry for your life to sell salt in the ghost market?"
"I see that the salt dealer used to sell it swaggeringly."
Zhang Luo touched the round head of the little stunned man.
Zhenhaiwei is still too comfortable to be guarded by hundreds of households for generations.
What is the situation in the southeast of the current Ming Dynasty?
It is recorded in ancient history books:
"In Jiajing, the Japanese invaded Quanzhou, searched by boat, and killed three counties."
In the space of a few days, the people of the three counties were brutally murdered by the Japanese invaders.
Fujian and Zhejiang are also the most serious places where the Japanese invaders are most serious.
Pirates, bandits, gangsters.
How can you not take precautions when you do business in a ghost market?
This is also the reason why Zhang Luo only brought six catties of salt boxes.
He's going to try the ghost market for this time.
Six catties of salt is less than 500 yuan in total.
If you are really targeted by thieves.
You can just take the money and run away.
Zhang He looks ordinary and wears a face cloth.
Even in front of the thief, I am afraid that I will not be able to recognize it.
Zhang Luo is different.
Tall at 1.85 meters.
Plus the temperament of some cultured people.
It would have been too conspicuous in feudal times.
If Zhang Luo is targeted.
Thieves may find Zhenhaiwei.
In this way, Zhenhaiwei will be in big trouble.
Zhang Luo was stunned.
Slowly wandering around Qianyang Street in the ghost market.
He also made use of "marketing" skills.
Observe the shops passing by.
In the wing, Zhang Luo was on a wooden sign.
wrote "Eighty wen a pound of high-grade refined salt".
He asked Zhang to put it on the side of the stall.
It didn't take long for a buyer to come and ask for a price.
Wooden signs are the equivalent of small advertisements.
Before the Tang Dynasty, there was this kind of brand to attract guests.
By the Ming Dynasty, it had developed into a must-have for merchants.
Some well-known shops.
It also has the same signboard as in the 21st century.
For example, the more famous Tianjin dog in the north ignores buns.
The wooden sign written by Zhang Luo is similar to the selling price card.
This selling price is more than ten or twenty wen cheaper than the refined salt in the ghost market.
than the official refined salt of the county yali.
That's nearly double the number.
When the customer tasted it, it was confirmed that Zhang and the one sold was indeed refined salt.
There is nothing greasy on the wooden box.
Immediately, he took out eighty yuan.
Picked up a box of refined salt and walked away quickly.
After it opens.
The number of customers who came up to ask for the price began to increase.
Zhang couldn't handle it.
But he insisted on not saying a word.
Just point to the price on the wooden sign and signal to the seller.
Wait until Zhang Luo has almost finished shopping the entire ghost market.
The "marketing" skill was brushed to level 3.
Zhang Ji has already sold out all six boxes of refined salt.
Zhang and began to clean up the stall.
At this moment, an old man with a pen came out of the darkness.
Behind him were two half-naked men.
walked to Zhang He's booth.
The old man looked at the cards.
He tore off a note and gave it to Zhang and said:
"Pay the seventy wen city tax, and then hurry up."
Zhang He hurriedly dropped seventy cents.
Hurriedly left the ghost market with a nameplate.
After seeing Zhang and closing the stall and leaving.
Zhang Luo and the others also followed closely behind and walked out of the ghost market.
Zhang Wangsheng saw that the refined salt was sold out in a few days.
Jumping and saying:
"Brother Zhang Luo, the refined salt is sold out!"
Zhang Luo was very calm.
Just now when someone from the ghost market not far away came to open the book.
Zhang Luo heard what the old man said.
Is he gesturing Zhang and hurry away?
Could it be that selling refined salt in a ghost market will be harmed?
Zhang Luo dragged Zhang Wangsheng.
didn't go directly to Zhang He.
And first hid aside.
As expected, several rough-dressed men came out of the ghost market.
Ran in the direction of Zhang He.
Zhang Wangsheng covered his mouth and said tremblingly:
"They seem to be looking for Brother Ji?"
"And my brother won't be beaten by them, right?"
Zhang Luo crooked his hand and said:
"Don't worry, not today."
"They're trying to find out where we live."
"We'll have to find a way to get Zhang not to go back to the guardhouse."
Those big men really said the same as Zhang Luo.
There is no intention of attacking Zhang and He.
Just followed him, trying to figure out the details of Zhang He.
There was a secret reminder of the little stunned.
Zhang He deliberately spared.
In less than two steps, he threw a few people behind him away.
After the three of them gathered, they took a closer look and saw that no one was following behind them.
only then did he return to Zhenhaiwei with a heart attack.
Zhang Luo also broke out in a cold sweat after this observation.
He's ready.
I didn't expect it to be targeted for the first time.
Zhang Luo wiped the sweat.
I sighed that I was really lucky to travel back to my hometown.
If it appears elsewhere.
He is even a systematic.
I'm afraid that I will have to be pulled and skinned.
This ghost market salt selling incident.
reminded Zhang Luo once again that this is not a peaceful era.
And so it goes.
I want to exchange the refined salt for silver.
I'm afraid it's going to take a lot of effort to do it.
Zhang Luo thought about it.
This time, refined salt will be sold.
It should have moved someone's cake.
It was the first time that Zhang He sold refined salt in a ghost market.
It is normal for both buyers and sellers to inquire about quotes.
It should be the other salt vendors in the ghost market.
The ghost market is only open a few days a month.
How do you find out about the salt seller?
Zhang Luo looked irritable.
Back in the temple.
A familiar bearded stubble was found sitting in the temple.
Zhang Luo rubbed his eyes.
It was found that it was Iron Bar Three, the leader of the Death Row Gang.
In the clan fighting in the back mountain.
The people of the Death Row Gang were all knocked unconscious by the Mandarin Duck Array.
All were ordered by Zhang Luo to be tied back to Zhenhaiwei.
These people on death row are not bad.
As the leader of the gang, Iron Rods Three fainted for a day.
After three days, you will be able to move.
However, Iron Bar Three's right leg was discounted.
Bamboo planks are tied to the legs.
Probably will end up with the life of a lifelong lame.
After these people from the Death Row gang woke up.
begged Zhang Luo to spare his life.
The Death Row Gang injured dozens of Zhenhaiwei in their prime.
How could Zhang Luo easily forgive them.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Luo helped Zhang Agong.
Let them help the people of Weili do farm work for three months.
Open up dozens of acres of wasteland.
to be willing to bypass their dogs.
The members of the Death Row Gang usually work hard in the fields.
Just this iron rod three didn't do it for a while, and shouted tired.
He often went to the temple to find Zhang Luo.
Today, the iron rods have all come to the temple to hang around.
