Chapter 113: Someone who can’t be hit with eight poles
The old man looked at the stone and said, "Don't know what to call it?"

"Zhuang Shi."

"It turns out to be the owner."

"No, my wife is the boss, the one who spoke to you that day."

The old man took a deep breath and said, "I wonder how to sell these pickles and sauce?"

"The price of pickled vegetables is [-] cents per catty, and the price of doenjang is [-] cents per catty. The price of pickled vegetables will not increase next year, but the price of doenjang will."

"Is it that expensive?"

"It's not expensive anymore. These pickles have to be made and sold when the weather is cool. Not only is it hard to find fresh vegetable sources, but the ingredients are also very particular."

"It's almost as good as the price of miso."

"Because miso is a new product, the price is low. Pickles were ordered for ten cents per catty last year and sold outside for fifteen cents, so this year they have increased. You can ask those people. They come to buy it every day. They don't go out for a long time. It’s all sold out.”

"Doenjang is more expensive than pork, does anyone want to eat it?"

"Didn't you ask about my goods?"

The old man smiled awkwardly: "Mainly because we brought these things, I'm afraid we can't even afford your goods."

"You can buy some first and try it back. My family doesn't accept credit. The money and goods will be counted in person."

The old man gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, let's count our goods first, and then we'll talk about anything else."

Shitou called Wan'er to keep accounts, and then called Zhuang Dashan and the others to weigh and settle things in person.

When they arrived, all these people weighed it. One cart weighed 20 jins, eight carts of lotus roots equaled [-] jins, and five cents per catty equaled [-] taels of silver.

Two carts of lotus seeds, one thousand catties, forty coins per catty, which is 40 taels of silver, a total of 60 taels of silver.

The old man took the silver and said with emotion:

"In the past, those who received the goods always made excuses, either giving less or weighing them down. I didn't expect it to be so enjoyable when I came here."

Shitou laughed: "What do you call me, father-in-law?"

"Lu Shiping."

"Then I'll call you Uncle Lu."

"well."

"In the future, if you have lotus seeds or lotus roots, you can sell them here at any time. We will collect them here at this price first. If the price increases over there, we will also grow them. Do you think?"

"No problem, no problem."

"Well, let's talk about it then. Do you want our goods?"

"Yes, yes."

"There are five kinds of pickles in our house, and there are five kinds of miso. You have eaten them just now. Our dealer has an unwritten rule."

"What?"

"Each household should not have more than ten jars per day. The goods are too tight. Otherwise, some people will not be able to make money."

Only then did Old Man Lu realize that people were willing to sell to him because they were poor. Otherwise, the dealer's goods would not be enough to sell to the people in his village.

He was extremely moved, but he didn't get dizzy, thinking about the money in his hand.

"Let's do this. We all buy ten jars. When we go back, each family will share five jars and sell them. We happen to have twenty households in our village. What do you think?"

Shitou thought for a while, "How often does it take to come?"

"Five days."

"Okay, Wan'er, do the math for him."

Wan'er fiddled with the abacus for a while: "Fifty jars of pickled vegetables cost twenty cents per catty, one jar ten catties, a total of ten taels of silver, fifty jars of soybean paste cost thirty cents per catty, one jar ten catties, 15 Two taels of silver, a total of 25 taels of silver."

Hearing this, Old Man Lu was relieved, thinking that the money from selling the goods was not enough to pay.

"Sure, let's load the goods."

He counted out 25 taels of silver and gave it to Wan'er, and gave her a special look. Such a small calculation was so good, he was worthy of being from the banker.

Wan'er took them to the workshop at the back. This look almost frightened them.

There are hundreds of large tanks and so many workers, busy and busy.

This is an eye-opener. Even if you don’t believe it, the banker’s business is really good. The reason why it is good is that their products are good.

As long as the goods are good, there is no need to worry about selling them, and Old Man Lu and the twenty young men are all at ease.

After they inspected the goods in person, they installed the altar. Before leaving, Shitou asked Old Man Lu and the others to sign the paperwork. This was a must.

After the people left, Shi Tou returned to the house.

Qin Yue poured him a cup of tea: "Are they all gone?"

"Well, I think these people are nice and trustworthy. I bought a lot of pickles and soybean paste and made an appointment to come back in five days."

"Go back and open a door from one side. Don't go through the main door. It's too messy."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now."

While they were talking, Old Man Huang and Mrs. Qian came. Shitou said hello and went to sit in the yard and read a book.

Qin Yue hurriedly put the two of them on the kang: "I haven't been here for a few days." "If you weren't busy, we would have been here long ago."

The three of them sat together, and the old lady told her what happened during this period.

"Do you know who the new county magistrate is?"

"I don't even care about the owner of the drug store. What do I care about him for?"

Mrs. Huang took a sip of tea, picked up a piece of fruit and ate it:

"A few days ago, he invited celebrities and wealthy businessmen in the county to his house for tea."

"Um, you went?"

"Going to the East China Sea."

"Did you donate?"

"No, the new official has taken office. Let's get to know each other. If the people are in trouble in the future, please ask for our help."

Qin Yue snorted: "You're not a corrupt official again, are you?"

The old lady curled her lips and said: "No, people are very rich and don't care about the little things given by others."

"Oh?"

Qin Yue looked at the old lady and seemed to understand what she wanted to say.

"Let me guess, is this county magistrate related to the owner of Minsheng Pharmacy?"

"Haha, so smart. He is Ji Li's son, Ji Mingtang, the young owner of the drug store. He is a third-rank official in the imperial court, higher than the prefect."

Qin Yue frowned: "Isn't this too big for a small use?"

The old lady smiled softly: "The emperor is a wise king. If he can be sent here, he must have a purpose. We can't guess it."

Qin Yue thought about the fact that shopkeeper Xu came to the house to ask for medicine. Could it be related to herself?

"We are a small banker, but he didn't like us and didn't invite us."

"It shouldn't be. Now the banker is famous in the county, even in Jeju."

"I didn't get the note anyway."

As soon as the old lady came to her, she kept talking:

"Let me tell you, this county magistrate is unparalleled by others. Not only is he versatile in both civil and military affairs, he is also good at medicine. He is less than thirty and has no wife."

"None of my business!"

"You, only if you know the enemy, can you be victorious in every battle."

"Someone you can't hit with eight sticks."

Qian worked on the side without saying a word, occasionally eating something and drinking tea.

"Then let's talk about the Sun family. After their house was built, they wanted to hire someone to warm the house, but no one from the village came. It was a big joke."

"Sun Yugui hasn't come back, has he?"

"No, Wu made the decision and bought ten acres of land, plus his family's five acres, and rented it out together."

"Oh? Are you ready to do business?"

"They didn't learn it from you. What do they know? You don't want them to sell it from you, so they can only take that route."

"Well, I earn less, but it's enough to support the family. It won't matter between the two families in the future, so don't mention it again."

"This is not something you just don't mention if you don't want to. People from the same village will inevitably have intersections if they look up but don't look down."

Qin Yue stuffed a cherry into her mouth: "If you eat so much fruit here, you can't eat it when you go back."

"Yeah, let's go back and stop eating."

"How is Huang Wei doing lately?"

Hearing this, the old lady was stunned: "What can she do? After confinement, she hugs her son every day without letting go, for fear that others will snatch him away."

Speaking of which, the old lady added.

"There's something I need to tell you."

"what's up?"

"Your son, Yang Qingyun, had one of his legs broken. Now he is being raised at home and cannot go to school. It is estimated that he will have nothing to do with the scientific examination in the future."

Qin Yue had no reaction after hearing this. She looked at Mrs. Huang calmly.

"Who do you think did it?"

"Huang Wei!" the old lady said, staring into her eyes.

"If it's broken, it's none of my business. Even if you die, I don't care." What he said was Feng Qingyun Dan.

The old lady trembled in her heart and said to herself, this girl is more cruel than herself.

"He is your son? We were once flesh and blood?"
