The farmhouse's fierce wife is the master of the house

Chapter 283 Arrive at the pier

Ye Xiangchun thought for a while, and said, "The price is high, but the quality is definitely good. I don't know if the second shopkeeper can take it."

"How tall?"

"At least eighty yuan a catty." Ye Xiangchun said again: "I will never ask for a price. I will come to the town the day after tomorrow and show the second shopkeeper some refined salt from my family. How about it?"

It is the duty of doing business to see the goods first and then negotiate the price.

Seeing that Ye Xiangchun, although young, spoke and acted like a duty, the second shopkeeper agreed.

If you change to someone with a slippery tone, even if it's a bragging hype, the second shopkeeper may not agree to it.

In this way, it was temporarily settled, and Ye Xiangchun left.

After leaving the rice store, Ye Xiangchun went to ask where the pier for exporting salt was.

When I asked, the distance was quite far.To leave the town, go west for seven or eight miles.

Ye Xiangchun calculated the time and decided to go there.

When I arrived at the wharf, I saw that the boats were carrying vehicles and people were carrying freight. It was a very large freight wharf.

After asking someone again, I found out that this pier can reach the capital in the north and the seaport in the south, and it is also a waterway transportation hub.

Ye Xiangchun searched around before finding a ship carrying salt.

But this is an official ship, so you are not allowed to approach it at will.Only with the certificates issued by the government offices of various states can the salt be unloaded according to the specific amount.

Salt roads have been a big business since ancient times, and the profit from selling private salt is extremely high, but it is also a business of illegal beheading.

Ye Xiangchun looked at the ship of official salt, so naturally he didn't dare to make up his mind.But she stood aside and observed quietly, and it really showed her the way.

Ye Xiangchun found that some salt bags had indeed leaked, and scattered salt grains had been sprinkled all the way.

Salt that fell on the deck was swept up immediately.

But some of them fell on the pier, and no one swept them at that time.When the official ship left, two people ran over to collect the salt on the ground and put it in a bag.

Ye Xiangchun observed for an hour, and the salt that those two people swept up was at least three to four catties.

Ye Xiangchun knew that these two people should be the people inside the dock, and the collected salt was also a small business, and it was exchanged for money into the small treasury of these people.

When another official ship left, the two men had just swept up the salt on the ground when Ye Xiangchun walked over and called out, "Both brothers, I have something to ask."

The tall, dark-faced man sized Ye Xiangchun up and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ye Xiangchun smiled, glanced at the salt bag in his hand, but didn't ask directly, but touched his body, took out four Wen and handed it over, saying: "I can't ask in vain, this is Invite the two eldest brothers to drink tea to soothe their throats."

The short and fat one reached out to take the copper plate, pointed to the bag containing the salt, and said, "The little girl will definitely come. You came here for this, right?"

Ye Xiangchun smiled and nodded, "My family is really struggling, and I can only eat pickled vegetables in winter. But the salt for pickled vegetables is expensive, and I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat pickled vegetables this year."

The tall dark-faced "hehe" laughed twice, and said, "You little girl is interesting. She said that her family is poor, but she still generously brought us some copper coins. Want to buy cheap salt, right? There are ten cents a bag Yes, there are seven coins a bag. They are all about a catty, but they are not clean."

Ye Xiangchun was overjoyed when he heard this price, and quickly asked, "Then can I have a look? What would the seven-cent coin be like?"

"That's for the animals to eat." The chunky one said, "For licking bricks."
