Eternal traitor

While Li Hua was speaking, he also took off a chili pepper and put it in his mouth, biting a section lightly, the intense spiciness almost made Li Hua's tears come out.That's right, that's the taste.Ten taels of silver for a catty is impossible for the current old man, but if the old man specializes in planting, then the price given by Li Hua is definitely high.

"Eighteen, give him a deposit of 50 taels of silver. In addition, sign a contract that you are not allowed to sell the red stamp to others." Li Hua turned to look at the old man beside him, "Let's use the lives of your family as a guarantee."

The cold tone instantly startled the old man, and holding the heavy 50 taels of silver in his hand, he knelt down again with his young grandson, begging Li Huaneng to let them go.He never thought that a small transaction would involve the lives of his whole family?If you had known earlier, he wouldn't do anything.

"You have to sign this contract if you sign it, and if you don't owe it, you have to sign it. But don't worry, as long as you don't play tricks, I won't do anything to you."

Rare things are more expensive, and Li Hua knows what kind of benefits this pepper can bring.Therefore, Li Hua can't let this old man go, he is bound to win this contract.

After hearing Li Hua's words, the old man was at a loss for words.He has no right to refuse, and can only follow Li Hua's rules. After all, he is just a commoner. If he offends a noble like Li Hua, a few lives are not enough to kill him.

"Old man, I said you write, write down the contract, and there will be a certificate at that time."

Li Hua didn't know how to write. Originally, he wanted Gu Shiba and Gu Shisan to write, but when he saw these two guys with big arms and round waists, Li Hua didn't expect them to be able to write.

"Yes."

The old man nodded in response, turned around and went to the room, took out a pen and a bamboo board after a while, and wrote down the contract word by word according to Li Hua's request.Although he wondered why Li Hua didn't write it himself, he was relieved when he thought that Li Hua was a nobleman, and this kind of thing was naturally done by servants.As for mischief, the elderly who have lived their whole lives know how powerful these "gentlemen" are, and they dare not take the lives of the whole family to play tricks.

After signing the contract in his hand, the old man obediently handed it over to Li Hua, staring helplessly and daring not to say anything.Logically speaking, a contract needs to be signed in two identical copies, and each party takes one as evidence.Moreover, both parties need to press their fingerprints and signatures, but this contract only has the signature and fingerprints of the old man's side, and there is only one copy, and it is handed over to Li Hua.

In other words, if Li Hua cheated, the old man would have nothing to do.But if the old man cheats, he will be sued and executed.It's so unfair, but due to the disparity in status, there's nothing to do about it.

But the good thing is that this contract only states that he cannot sell the "Red Stamp" to other people, but the purchase price Li Hua gave is definitely high enough. Deposit, and how much you charge, there is no upper limit.

"Since the transaction is over, that's it. The money has been given to you, and the contract has been signed. You should understand what to do."

Li Hua can be said to be kind to this family, holding such a contract in his hand, he is not afraid that this family will dare to make trouble.

"understand."

The old man touched the sweat on his head with his dirty sleeve, not daring to breathe.

"Thirty, you will live here in the future, see if the old man has any difficulties and report to me in time, you know?"

Li Hua attaches great importance to the peppers here, and he doesn't want any accidents to happen. Giving this idle job to Gu Shisan is also a kind of gift in disguise.

"The subordinate understands that the subordinate must live up to the high expectations of shopkeeper Li."

Gu 31 accepted this good job with an excited face, and will not accept the orders of the foreign military.How tiring can it be to look at a vegetable garden here if you are not in the Wind and Rain Building? ?What's more, he doesn't need to work, such a beauty can't be obtained by kneeling.

"Mr. Li, that??????? The little old man seems to have remembered, and the little old man also stored some dried red stamps. I wonder if Mr. Li needs them??"

Just as Li Hua was about to leave, the old man slapped his head as if thinking of something, and then stopped Li Hua.

"Oh, take it out and have a look, if I am satisfied, you will have the money."

Li Hua narrowed his eyes and showed a slight smile at the corners of his mouth, not minding the old man's small thoughts at all.The old man also seemed to know that his careful thoughts had not been hidden from this noble young master, but seeing that Li Hua didn't seem to be having an attack, he hurriedly trot into the cellar of the small courtyard, and after searching for a while, he took out the dried red peppers .

and,

There are five taels in full.

This is air-dried chili, five taels is a small pile.

Li Hua even suspected that if he didn't keep Gu Shishen, the old man might not hand over this thing to him.

Chapter 23 Huge Expenses

After paying the old man 25 taels of silver, Li Hua left amidst the old man's gratitude. Before leaving, Li Hua specifically told Gu Shisan not to bully the family. He was thrown into the Fengyu Tower as a duck.

This frightened Gu Shisan quite a bit, and he cried to show his loyalty to Li Hua, swearing that he would not mess things up.

After getting into the carriage, Li Hua took the preoccupied Gu Shiba into the carriage.

"What? Do you regret that Thirty stayed there instead of you??"

Li Hua closed his eyes and said softly.Gu Shiba was originally not qualified to ride in a carriage with Li Hua, but in order to speed up the march, Li Hua gave him extra favors to get into the carriage.

"The little ones dare not. The master has his own reasons for making such an arrangement."

Gu Shiba is just a servant who doesn't even have an identity, how dare he question Li Hua's decision? ?Even if he is dissatisfied, what else can he do? ?

"The dog in front of the prime minister's door is not something that ordinary officials can provoke. Although I can't give you such a high honor, my dog???????" Li Hua opened his eyes and smiled. He looked at Gu Shiba carefully, "The food is good."

Although Li Hua can restore Gu Shiba's identity so that he will no longer be a servant without status, but Li Hua needs this contract to restrain Gu Shiba's mind, and also needs Gu Shiba to understand what he should do?What not to do?

"My subordinate understands."

Gu Shiba is not stupid, he can tell that Li Hua's identity is extremely special, even Gu Huaye, the boss of Fengfenglou, obeys his words, and he may not be able to reach a certain level after following him.Compared with Gu Shisan's leisure, following Li Hua by himself is more likely to gain greater benefits.

Li Hua didn't speak, but closed his eyes. At this time, the strong nausea made Li Hua feel like vomiting again.

"Wow

"Wow??????"

At the door of Gu's Restaurant, a gorgeously dressed young man was vomiting into the wooden barrel under his feet, and beside him was a fat woman who patted the young man's back lightly.

"Huh??? Huh." Li Hua changed his strength with great difficulty, looked at De Meihua beside him and asked a little weakly: "How is the matter going?"

"Master Liu wants us to use the restaurant in the west plus 1000 taels of silver, and the merchant has negotiated 1500 taels of silver."

De Meihua reported the truth to Li Hua. Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with the Liu family's malicious price hike, she was just a servant without any right to speak, and she was not even qualified to bargain.

"Give the Liu family an extra 300 taels of silver, saying that it is thanks to Mr. Liu for his courtesy. Sign it directly at the merchant." Li Hua has been out for more than four hours, and he doesn't know the exact time without a watch, "That's right. , let the best craftsman in Qin country find me early tomorrow morning."

"??????yes."

De Meihua opened her mouth, but only responded without saying anything.She really wanted to tell Li Hua that the 7000 taels of silver would not be enough at all if Li Hua continued to spend money like this.But it's too much to say, all she needs is to execute the order.

It was late at night when Li Hua returned to the Gu residence.

The wheels of the carriage stopped slowly, and there were not only two guards at the gate of the Gu residence with two lanterns hanging, but also three little girls.One of the little girls saw the approaching carriage and rushed up to meet her, looking inside the carriage expectantly.

The moment the curtains of the carriage were raised, an excited smile appeared on the girl's face, she jumped happily on the ground and shouted "Brother" and "Brother."

Li Hua looked at the little girl who was waiting for him to go home, got off the carriage and picked up the cute little guy. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He could have come back earlier, but because of motion sickness, he specially asked the driver to slow down.

"Did you learn to write with the teacher today?"

Li Hua hugged the light little girl and asked with a smile.

"Yes, Huahua, Doudou and I have studied hard."

The little girl proudly told Li Hua about her study in the afternoon, and was very grateful to Li Hua for finding two friends to study with her. She also kissed Li Hua's face as she spoke.

"Meet shopkeeper Li."
