"Whose kid is yelling, 800 renminbi, I haven't paid such a high price in decades, are you still awake?"
Hearing the shouts, the first reaction of the fishermen was disbelief. Over the past few decades, sea salt has not been sold at a good price. Usually, 200 cash is considered a good incense. As for whether the copper coins given are broken or rotten, it all depends on Fortunately, there are not a few people who are snatched away by salt owls for nothing, and a high price of 800 Wen is suddenly offered, unless the sun comes out from the west, or the savior of Guangling County comes~~~
"Is it real? Is it fake? Everyone will know it by looking at this thing!"
Faced with the doubts of the crowd, the Liu brothers did not explain much, but took out a golden barley from their arms and held it high in their hands, so that people could see clearly that it was not a dream, nor was it talking nonsense, it was real. The big merchants are here, and they want to buy sea salt with gold!
"Wow! ~~ Aww!"
The eyes are black, and the gold is yellow. Once the two meet, the original black and white eyes will turn red. The fishermen are shocked at first, drunk at the second, and finally crazy... After confirming that the gold is real, "嗤嗤" Calling and running to my own house~~
Under the bluestone slab, in the sandpit, under the table, in the tree hole..., bags of hidden sea salt were turned out. In order to avoid the robbery of those salt owls, the fishermen were all kinds of people, fighting wits and courage, and tried every means to protect them. own property~~~
The most unique one found a lot of thick bamboo, stuffed it with sea salt after hollowing it out, and sealed the two ends, and then used these bamboo tubes to build a pigsty, and usually kept two piglets in it to pretend, and it really fooled countless people. The eyes of the salt owl, now that the big salt merchants have come, without a word, they tore down the pigsty, and ran to the patriarch's house with the bamboo tube on their shoulders, only pitiful for the two little pigs who lost their homes, in that depressed Zhi'hen '~~
Liu Xi’s home is very lively. Hundreds of fishermen gather here, including men, women, and children. Under the temptation of gold, everyone is full of motivation. Even ordinary weak women can carry more than 100 catties of salt bags. Walking like flying, 800 Wen a stone, with this money is enough to feed the whole family, whoever does not risk their lives, will not suffer from exhaustion!
Fortunately, although there are many fishermen, they are very orderly. Liu Xi found a five-liter wooden bucket from home, measured the sea salt sent by each family one by one, and then divided the money according to the total weight. Anyway, there is gold, so I am not afraid to exchange it. If you don't come to copper coins, you must exchange them for copper coins!
For a while, laughter, full of energy...
Xiao Yi took the opportunity to check the sea salt, they were all directly boiled with sea water, and there were many other impurities in it besides salt, so they were brown in color, and they were all large particles, very rough, compared to what the nobles usually eat The green salt from here is much worse in appearance!
But don't underestimate these ugly sea salts. For thousands of years, Chinese people have eaten them to survive, and some places can't even eat them. If 800 a stone of sea salt is transported to the inland of the Central Plains, it will cost at least ten times more. If the profit can be transported to the grassland to exchange with the Huns, it can reach dozens or even hundreds of times the profit!
This is not an exaggeration. Xiao Yi had seen it before when he was doing business on the grassland. Two catties of rough sea salt mixed with sand can be exchanged for a fat and strong cattle with the herdsmen. Three catties can be exchanged for a war horse. Jin can be exchanged for a handsome little Hun girl who can work during the day and accompany her in bed at night. It is definitely a huge profit, so no matter how much sea salt is sold, the only worry is that it cannot be shipped, but with Xiao Yi's Power and contacts, transport some goods out of customs, it's a trivial matter!
Xiao Yi is now thinking about two other issues, one is how to change the current production method, "Use an iron pot to boil salt, my dear, how much firewood will be consumed, how many iron pots will be leaked, the cost is simply too high Imagine, and it is not environmentally friendly, the salt content in seawater is [-]%, that is to say, fishermen can only get less than [-] catties of sea salt by boiling a hundred catties of seawater. It is not bad to be able to boil a pot of seawater, but it has to be stirred constantly, which consumes a lot of manpower~
As a third-rate traveler, he still has the ability to change the production method. Although Xiao Yi has never made salt, but the information in later generations is so advanced, he must know how the salt he eats. The temperature in May at the seaside is already It's very high, why don't you borrow one or two of the power of Father Sun?
Drying salt is definitely a good way to save a hundred times the labor and produce a hundred times more than 'boiling salt', and as the first proposer, I can also name this method~~'Xiao's drying salt method', the name has lasted through the ages, recorded In the annals of history!
The second is to purify these sea salts. The yellow-brown rough salt grains do not taste bad, and the impurities in them will harm the people's bodies, and even cause mineral poisoning. In fact, it only needs to be simply dissolved, filtered, Recrystallization, three steps, you can get pure white refined salt, the consumption is very small, the value of harvest is a hundred times, even the nobles will like this refined salt, as for the coarse salt, it is better to save Feast your enemies!
Thinking that he would soon own a large amount of refined salt, Xiao Yi trembled with excitement. In this era, salt is money, and it can be used as hard currency. By then, the beaches will be full of wasted money ', so many good things have to be exchanged for, gold and silver jewelry, silk cloth, cattle, sheep, horses and camels..., and beautiful flower girls, you can have as many as you want, the richest man in the Han Dynasty is none other than yourself ?
"Ha...haha!" Thinking of his pride, Xiao Yi grabbed a handful of sea salt, looked up to the sky and laughed, this is the future, this is hope, this is a beautiful life!
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ...........
"It's not good, Yubapi is here!"
With a terrified cry, the fishermen who had gathered together scattered in all directions, as if they were coming from a scourge~~
"Tap!...Tap!"
There was a rush of horseshoes, and then four big men in Tsing Yi walked in from the outside. They were all eight feet tall, thick-backed, flesh-faced, and tattooed on their arms. It's written all over your face!
Behind the four big men in green clothes came another man, seven feet five inches tall, dressed in white brocade clothes, wearing a crown belt on his head, a gold lock on his neck, a black and white tiger pattern belt on his waist, a three-foot Qingfeng sword on his top, and a sword at his feet. Soft boots of deerskin, and a small abacus in his hand, as he walked, the abacus rattled!
Looking at the face again, it is as white as jade, with a broad forehead, thick eyebrows, a pair of big eyes, a high nose bridge, slightly thin lips, and a mouthful of small white teeth when he smiles. Coupled with a head of loose hair, he is actually a long man Very nice guy!
"Fuck!... What's the situation?" From the fearful reactions of the people around you, Xiao, you can be sure that this guy is the 'fisherman', but according to the experience in the novel, not all bad guys should grow into crooked melons of it?
They are all short in stature, hunched over, with a big persimmon face, two small mouse eyes, bulbous noses, big yellow dies, and two mouse whiskers. They look like dogs. Is that the standard villain image?
Looking at this one again, it's obviously a 'substandard product'. Could it be that God will make mistakes?
There are also traitors with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and those who don't grow a hair on their heads are actually good people. It's really a collapse of the three views!
The most hateful thing was that, touching his little black face, Xiao Yi found out depressedly that this 'Yu Ba Pi' was actually a little bit more handsome than himself, which really made people feel uncomfortable from the inside out!
'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' is upset, the consequences are serious, someone must be in trouble
But Xiao Yi also understood a truth, there are bad guys who are good looking, and similarly, there are also some ugly heroes among heroes, judging a person's good or bad, good or bad, ability by his appearance, it's the best choice!
However, Xiao Yi still had some doubts, why did this 'Yu Ba Pi' look familiar? ...It seems to be somewhat similar to Chen Deng, especially this guy is called 'Dong Yu', does it have something to do with the Chen family?
531. Chapter 531 Let the revenge come more violently!
Xiao Yi's guess is right, this 'Yu Papi' has a deep blood relationship with Chen Deng, to be precise, they are brothers, half-brothers!
Chen Deng's father was named Chen Gui, who was also a celebrity in Xuzhou. When he was young, he served as the prefect of Xiapi. I am afraid that even after getting old, this hobby will still remain unchanged!
After eating too much fish and turtles, it is inevitable that he will become angry. After being drunk once, this old Mr. Chen took advantage of the pleasure to 'spoil' an ordinary maid in the mansion. The bead womb was dark, and ten months later, a fat and white son was born!
Now things are a little troublesome, the family members have their own pride, they will never marry a maid of low status, they will not even take concubines, and Mrs. Chen was nearly [-] years old at the time, and he always pretended to be aloof. Don't be greedy for women, and suddenly come up with a 'servant to give birth to a child', I really can't lose face!
But if you don't admit it, it's your own flesh and blood after all, and you still have a son when you're old, and you have a love in your heart, so you have to adopt a compromise method in the end, raising the mother and son in a private house outside, and the treatment is favorable!
Although there is no need to worry about eating and drinking, but he is an illegitimate child after all, he is not qualified to recognize his ancestors, and he is not qualified to be named Chen, but if he has another surname, it will be tantamount to smearing his own face. Fortunately, this old man Chen Gui is smart enough , he took apart his character 'Chen', took half of it and gave it to his illegitimate son, and gave him the surname 'Dong', and because of the trouble caused by eating raw fish and turtles, he named it~~Dongyu!
As time goes by, Dong Yu slowly grows into a beautiful young man, and under the care of old Mrs. Chen, he becomes a steward in the mansion. He is responsible for the fat job of buying sea salt. !
However, as he got older, Dongyu's personality became more and more violent. This is not surprising. Although he has the blood of a famous family, he does not have the identity of a famous family. Being scolded as 'wild species' and 'bad species', over time, his heart will naturally become distorted, and he also takes pleasure in abusing ordinary people. Feeling of dignity!
This time at the 'Haihun Pavilion', Dongyu was going to make a fortune. The purchase price of sea salt given by the Chen family was 200 Wen per stone. He cut off half of it and put it in his own pocket. As for the remaining 100 Wen , When to give to the fishermen, or even whether to give it, isn't it his 'Dongye' who has the final say?
With beautiful dreams in mind, the result was a basin of cold water head-on. In the past, no matter how low the price was, fishermen could only hold their noses to sell sea salt. Yi and the others are here, who cares about his "fishing and skinning"!
As a result, Dongyu waited for a long time, but did not receive a piece of sea salt. Under suspicion, he caught a fisherman and forced him to question him. Only then did he know that there were merchants from other places who came here to charge high prices for salt. The family's territory, the other party is stealing meat from the tiger's mouth, so he brought a few entourages to accuse him aggressively!
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………
"You criminals are so bold that you dare to sell sea salt in private. Aren't you afraid of breaking the law of the big man?" First, the fishermen were scattered with a big stick, and then Dong Yu stepped in. He wanted to see Who would dare to steal the Chen family's wealth!
With a glance, the people in the yard were checked one by one~~
"The pavilion chief Liu Xi's family is here to help, old things, collusion with outsiders, let's settle this account slowly, if you don't make trouble, your family will be ruined, and my surname will not be Chen!" Although he is a maidservant who has a child, Dongyu always thinks that he should Surnamed Chen.
"A little black face (Xiao Yi) who is holding salt in both hands and is giggling at the sky, this is definitely not a leader, at most he looks like a driver~"
"A middle-aged man (Chen Gong) in Tsing Yi with a bookish face. This one is not. Although he looks smart and wise, he lacks the aura of a superior person. He is probably a housekeeper or something~"
"Two burly and strong men with weapons. Needless to say, they must be guards or something, and they are nothing~~"
Although Dong Yu has a bad character, he has been in and out of the Chen Mansion all year round, and he has been in contact with high-ranking officials and powerful people. Over time, he has developed an ability to judge people, which is also the basis for him to bully men and women. If you accidentally kick the iron plate, you will be in trouble!
With another flash of eyes, Dong Yu's eyes suddenly burst into countless expressions, "My grandpa, my ancestors of the Chen family, what did you see? One big and one small, two stunning beauties, be good~ ~"
"Swipe! ~Tick Tock! ~Tick Tock!~"
A stream of crystal clear saliva flowed out, and Dong Yu's eyes were bigger than eggs. He has been rampant in Guangling County for many years, the lady of the big family's mansion, the famous prostitute of the brothel Chuguan, the beautiful maid beside the famous man... , What kind of woman has I never seen before, but compared with the two in front of me, that is, grass chickens are compared to phoenixes, sand grains are like Mount Tai, and they are not at the same level at all~~
The little beauty is a little over ten years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, cute and cute, with two silver bells tied on her head, which make a pleasant sound when shaking, adding a bit of cuteness. At this moment, she is squatting on the ground, playing with a A pile of colorful shells, and cheerful laughter from time to time, like an elf, people can't help but want to lean over~~
The older one is even more remarkable, in his early twenties, height, body shape, fatness, charm...all of them are just right, it is simply a masterpiece of God, and look at that face, the beauty of the world, the beauty of the world, and the disaster of beauty ~~, Dong Yu used all the words he could think of, but he still couldn't describe this girl's appearance. In case, this is not a mortal girl, but a nine-day mysterious girl who has descended to earth~!
