"Yes, Xiao Congwen. You have to think about it. There are only a few days in the beginning of autumn. The weather is hot and there is no way to bake cured beef. Who would buy ten catties of beef? Doesn't it cause mold if you can't finish it?"

"Don't be brave, this is two to three thousand catties of beef. You don't know the purchasing power of the residents of Qingshan Town?"

Several giants tried to persuade them. After all, Ye Congwen's surname is Ye. Although he is small and weak, he looks incompatible with the giants of Huaye and Huaye tribes. He is also his own brother, and the blood relationship is still there. Naturally, he can't be treated the same as outsiders.

"I accept the wishes of all the big brothers, but Mudouya is my cousin, and I am her cousin. Even though she is not a few days old, I have to protect her, right?

Besides, Wood Bean Sprout was also afraid that I would be bored, so she risked her life to come to this barren mountain to accompany me. I can't let her be wronged. "

Ye Congwen replied neither humble nor overbearing, the implication is that the wooden bean sprouts are not related to you, but I am related to Ye Congwen, who is my mother's cousin, and you are targeting me when you target her.

Ye Rulang was furious when he heard it, and you couldn't listen to a word after talking with us for a long time? Obsessed with obsession, stubborn, and ready to follow your daddy's old path, are both father and son going to be planted on the wooden paper man?

Ye Rulang smiled instead of anger:

"Now that your wings are hardened and grown up, you can't listen to the words of our big brother sisters. Anyway, since you want to protect the Mu people, then I have to do business!

This frontier mang ox is worth ten gold coins. For your surname Ye's sake, let me count it as nine gold coins. I don't care what method you two use, you can take it to Qingshan Town or Wanquan County to sell it, as long as you hand in nine gold coins, I will forget the past.

Otherwise, it will be deducted from your Life fee in the future until the amount is sufficient. Do you dare to agree? "

Wooden Bean Sprout grabbed Ye Congwen's arm violently, signaling him not to nod. After autumn, it will be cold winter, and thousands of miles will be covered with snow and ice. If there is not enough life money to buy rations and supplies, Ye Congwen will be hungry alone. ?

"It's a deal!"

Ye Congwen promised confidently that if the money is not big enough, she will pawn her mother's gold bracelets and rings. Anyway, I am doomed not to marry a wife in this state, and the family heirloom is useless after all, so it is better to use it to relieve the urgent need.

"Ye picks flowers and flies leaves, you two hurry up and cut out the beef, take a few brothers and sisters to send the beef to the wooden boat, and make a quick decision, don't waste his time."

Ye Rulang ordered coldly, turned around and walked up the mountain, Hua Sihu gave Ye Congwen a helpless look, and followed silently. Due to the unfavorable start today, the plan to go home and celebrate could only be abandoned halfway. The giants had to go up the mountain to hunt another one, and headed to the deep mountain one by one dejectedly.

Ye Congwen knew that he had caused a catastrophe today, but in order to appease the trembling wooden bean sprouts, he had no choice but to pretend to be confident and help the giants carry the beef to the wooden boat.

"Xiao Congwen, are you sure you can earn nine gold coins back?"

Seeing Ye Rulang walking away, Ye Jiehua secretly asked, and the few giants who stayed to help also listened quietly.

"The mountain people have their own tricks. I never make unsure bets! Brother Fei Ye, you can rest assured and wait for my good news!"

Ye Congwen answered confidently, waved to the crowd, and quickly rowed towards Qingshan Town with wooden bean sprouts.

After the wooden boat left Tieta Village, several small streams converged into a river. At first glance, the blue waves seemed to be sparkling and peaceful, but in fact, there were undercurrents surging at an astonishing speed. Ye Congwen took advantage of the momentum to strengthen his paddling, and the whole wooden boat galloped like an arrow off the string, breaking through the water and leaving.

"Brother Congwen, have you really found a way to buy ten gold coins? Tell me, okay?"

Wooden sprouts squatted at the stern of the boat to clean the tripe and intestines, and asked very curiously. Counting the offal and bull heads, the total is only three thousand catties. Even if it is sold at the highest price of fifteen yuan per catty, it will only be four gold coins if it is all sold!

It's a pity that there are only three to four hundred households in Qingshan Town. The quality of Tuohuangmang beef is too thick, and the taste is far inferior to that of yellow beef.

"I've already figured out how to sell all the beef. Don't talk, let me think about the details."

Ye Congwen thought about the solution while rowing. As the saying goes, wool comes from sheep, but if you want to sell all the beef, you have to make a fuss about the group of animal trainers.

About two hours later, the wooden boat had arrived at the destination of the trip——Qingshan Town.

Qingshan Town is surrounded by mountains and lives by the water. The mountains are rolling and green, so it is named Qingshan Town. Backed by the Beast Mountains, it is rich in wood, medicinal materials, animal skins and game.

Relying on this tributary of the Lishui River, it can quickly reach the county government and state government, and the water transportation is extremely developed. Therefore, most of the residents of the small town make a living on this, and more or less are engaged in jobs such as sailor porters.

As soon as Ye Congwen's wooden boat docked in a small harbor, a group of dark-skinned men in short shirts surrounded them and asked fawningly:

"Brother Xiaowen, what good goods did you get today, do you want to ask some brothers for help?"

Ye Congwen, as the accountant of Tieta Village, was naturally remembered by these old Rivers and Lakes. After all, Tieta Village is the most powerful hunting village in Qingshan Town, and late autumn is the peak season for hunting, and often the strongest people are sent to hunt deep in the mountains. Only Ye Congwen, a small man, was on the boat alone, and sometimes he also served as the boatman. At this time, the business of porters comes!

"Hey! This is a big product, it costs three to four thousand catties, tsk tsk tsk, the meat is very tender, I'm afraid it won't sell for a good price after a long time!"

Ye Congwen smiled and was noncommittal, looking like he was going to sit on the ground and raise the price. As soon as the wood bean sprouts could not be sold, they became anxious immediately, and they had the demeanor of going to the doctor in a hurry, and asked worriedly with a small face:

"We ran all the way without stopping, unexpectedly it was too late, what should we do? Uncle, do you mean that the market is over now?"

"Although it's not over yet, it's almost here."

The black-faced man chattered leisurely, and said in surprise:

"Whose little fairy is this, she looks so handsome, why haven't I seen her before, tsk tsk tsk..."

In the past, hearing such compliments would have made Dalbean sprouts excited for a long time, but now they don't have the slightest thought. Looking back at Ye Congwen, he asked anxiously:

"Brother Congwen, what should we do?"

Ye Congwen can be regarded as half an old fried dough stick, how can he let this group of people succeed, so he said calmly:

"It's a total of three thousand catties, and all of them will be picked up at the monopoly shop in Tieta Village within half an hour. If you have less money and the speed is faster, you can come to the boat to talk, and idlers are not allowed to enter."

"Brother Xiaowen, what kind of friendship do we need to do this?"

The black-faced man pulled Ye Congwen aside in a fawning manner, and spoke softly.

"20% off! How about a 20% discount?" Seeing that Ye Congwen was unmoved, he begged with a bitter face:

"Brother, it can't be any lower. Brothers haven't started work today, so you have to give me something to eat?"

"Friendship, why didn't you say friendship when you tricked my Little Sister just now? I think you have eaten at the pier for many years, and your eyesight is almost gone, and your brain is not working well!

Take a good look at the badge on the bow of this ship yourself, do you dare to raise the price by sitting on the ground in Iron Tower Village? Believe it or not, if you take the money today, you will pay back double tomorrow. Those big guys don't have the patience to reason with you. If you are upset, I will throw you into the river to feed the bastard. "

"It's reasonable, it's reasonable. Why don't you take a few sips of yellow soup with your brother at noon, and do stupid things on impulse, haha..."

Wood Bean Sprout listened to the two chattering for a long time, and finally understood the reason. After a long time, it was the black uncle who was cheating himself. He really used me as a rookie to deceive him! Immediately, he became furious and pulled Ye Congwen away. Seeing that the master was about to let go, the little aunt started to stir up trouble again, and the black man couldn't speak in a hurry:

"Brothers, do you have something to say! The business is negotiated. If you are not satisfied with the price, can you talk again?"

"You are dishonest and full of bad water. I don't want to deal with you."

Wooden bean sprouts pouted, and turned around to ask other porters to negotiate the price.

"Little brother, can I give you 30% off? This is the lowest price!"

"It's useless for you to tell me now, it was her big brother who beat this frontier mang bull, and she is the right one."

Ye Congwen spread his hands, expressing that he was helpless.

At this time, several waves of people had gathered around. Seeing that the situation was not good, the black man repeatedly promised:

"40% off, 40% off, the lowest discount in the entire wharf. Is it okay if I am wrong? Little girl, you can just nod for the sake of the fact that it is not easy for the old uncle to earn a living. I How about putting it here to kowtow to you?"

"Uncle Hei, don't be like this, children can't bear it!"

Ye Congwen hurried forward to persuade, pondered for a moment, as if he had made a great determination, patted the black man on the shoulder solemnly and said:

"I don't want to take advantage of you either. They are all people who work hard to eat coolie food. How about this? You guys help me call out and advertise more. If they are all sold out, I will give you 10% later. How about treating you to a drink?"

As soon as the black man heard that the business was worth doing, and there would be extra rewards if he did it well, he called his little brother to be righteous in his heart, so he just yelled a few times, and it was all an extra gift.

It is only half a mile from the pier to the market, and with the footwork of these pickers, it takes about ten minutes to go back and forth. It is estimated that three round trips can be picked in half an hour, and a load of two hundred catties is more than enough for five people. Called four guys and shouted:

"Be quicker, Brother Ye said: Help with advertisements along the way, and he will buy you a drink later! By the way, how should I shout?"

Ye Congwen whispered a few words in Wooden Sprout's ear, and then said to Hei Han:

"Just follow her and shout at that time."

"Come on!"

As soon as the black man attacked, he quickly prepared ropes and poles, and started to work quickly.

Ye Congwen asked the wood bean sprouts to pass, took a key, and then ordered:

"You go and clean up the shop first, and then start selling Mang beef when all the beef is in place. I'll watch them pick things up and meet you later."

It was the first time that Wood Bean Sprout was promoted to shopkeeper and opened a shop. He was so excited that his eyes were full of expectant smiles, and he was eager to try. He took three steps in parallel and rushed in front of the crowd. As soon as he landed, he shouted excitedly:

"Leave one, let one, fresh pioneer beef, the only one in the town, unique, pass by, don't miss it!"

The voice is like an oriole, and it is melodious and pleasant, attracting countless eyes.

"Pioneering wild cattle, unique! Pass by, don't miss it!"

The roar of the five burly men made the ears of the bystanders burn, and the bustle and bustle along the way attracted the children on the street to watch it non-stop, and the popularity seemed to be getting more and more popular. Looking at the rolling crowd, Ye Congwen thought a little worriedly:

"The Pioneer Mangniu is indeed a big fish. I wonder if we can catch another group of big fish with it?"
