Chapter 127
Such white and clean salt would cost 110 or 120 Wen a pound no matter what.

Liu Laozhu knows the goods.

After all, the last time his old wife went to the county, she brought home a hundred cents a catty of salt mixed with some impurities.The refined salt in front of him is obviously finer than the salt stored at home.

"The nobleman gave you 85 Wen, so you just pay me back the price?"

Mrs. Xu looked at Liu Laozhu:

"There are few rich people in the village, but there are always people with similar wealth as you in several villages. If you sell one hundred and one, anyone who knows the goods can buy a few catties, like the Bai family can buy it.

Although it is not a lot of catties, you can't earn much, but it is enough to earn a day's accommodation money. If I want you to earn a little, how can I increase the price? "

Liu Laozhu was moved, and he co-authored Xu's sister without adding a penny, just to lighten his burden, and help him share the expenses in a different way.It is true that the price difference of fifteen catties of salt is not much, but they are doing their best to help him wholeheartedly, without any secrets.

"Don't you keep some for yourself? I'm opening a shop to save more salt."

Liu Laozhu was worried about whether to buy more salt and take it home.But buying more will cost you money. There is no such thing as wholesale salt prices.Don't buy some salt along the way. He knows that cooking with coarse salt has a bitter taste, and this is a necessity.

Liu Laozhu originally wanted to persuade Mrs. Xu not to lose the big because of small things, and not to follow the way of the women in the village and only look at the little savings in front of her. That is a frog in the bottom of the well.You must know that you can only earn money if you eat well and pay first, especially because the Xu family sells expensive things, so you should save some good salt.

However, Liu Laozhu opened his mouth and closed it again.

Because he glanced at the table, where old lady Xu made cakes for Tian Xin girl last night, leftover oil noodles, sesame seeds and other things, and then smacked his lips to recall the 25 yuan a catty oranges he ate last night.

Compared with daring to spend money, sister Xu's family seems to understand these principles better than him.

Especially in recent contact, Xu's sister's many behaviors confuse him, she looks like the wife of a wealthy family, but now she is downcast, anyway, she is more like a city person than him, she really dares to spend money, and she is loose.

"Okay, I will accept this love. In fact, I don't plan to sell such white fine salt to anyone."

Liu Laozhu babbled a few more words. He thought that some things in his heart could only be shared with Mrs. Xu, and only girls from the Xu family would understand him:
"Like the Bai family that you and I both know, I think our village credits him with a lot of stone pots and large vats, it's a favor.

Favors must always be returned.Although the money owed will be paid after the year, no one in the village will default on the debt.

But when I came to the door to be cheeky, I only mentioned it. In fact, I didn't know him very well before, and the Bai family would believe me.

I don’t know how to thank you for the Chinese New Year. I want to give people two catties of salt. What do you think?

But don't worry, sister, where did this salt come from, come out of your mouth, come to me, stop here, I won't say a word about you, and I will never delay your business.

It's just that it's not easy to go to the city. The official salt shop is the best, and the county doesn't sell it. The nobles in the city often buy and eat and give him some. "

Liu Laozhu guessed that the nobleman of the Xu family should be the chief steward in charge of the kitchen stove, and the housekeeper might be using a small amount of fifteen catties of salt to test whether the sister of the Xu family is strict with her mouth.If it doesn't spoil the good thing about the person who often hides salt, he will cooperate with Xu Jiachang in the future.

There is such a noble person in the Gaomen compound to help, and any delicious food can be introduced in the future.

The sisters of the Xu family had always felt the same for him, and Liu Laozhu felt that he had to put himself in the shoes of the Xu family.

And there are some things that don't need to be mentioned, this is called tacit understanding.

Otherwise, why did the sister of the Xu family not keep a catty of fine salt when she opened a restaurant?
He guessed that he was waiting for the noble man in charge to continue to pay the bill with privately stored salt next time, maybe the next time the Xu family delivered the goods, it would arrive, around winter.

Mrs. Xu squinted at Liu Laozhu: Oh, you are decent, Liu is decent, and you know how to give gifts to others, so you pretend to have a low EQ in front of your brothers and brothers.

When Mrs. Xu heard that she was not mentioned, her eyes flickered, guessing that the old guy Liu Laozhu probably made up a lot of brains.

She only brought out fifteen catties of salt this time, and it was really a test.It was also made too white by my granddaughter, so I didn't dare to sell more, and I wanted to wait until the next time the family made money and it would not be so eye-catching.

Early in the morning of the second day, Mrs. Xu started to spend money and finally did it.

She and Xu Tianxin first bought a lot of wooden bowls and wooden water cups, and also bought six cheap clay teapots from a small stall, and planned to use them in the shop.

There is no need to buy chopsticks, the second son of the family should be prepared to buy a lot.

The grandfather and grandson carried two big burdens, put the burden full of cups and rice bowls on the kang in the inn room, locked the door, and then went to Buzhuang to meet Liu Laozhu at the agreed time.

At that time, Liu Laozhu had brought the boys in the village to buy two carts of wine.

In order to bargain for a few pennies, the boys carry the wine by themselves, and the store doesn't care.

A total of fifty jars were purchased, including ten jars that Mrs. Xu asked to carry.

Mrs. Xu asked Liu Laozhu to help buy the cheapest sorghum wine, thirty catties a jar.

She bought these first and went back to try distilling high-grade wine. She didn't force the wine sold in Fucheng to be cheap, so she bought more.The wine can't escape, so the third boy can buy it next time he delivers the goods.So today Xu Youcang was specially asked to follow Liu Laozhu around.

I heard that Liu Laozhu also took the third child very sincerely, and even introduced the third child to the owner of the store for wholesale pepper aniseed ingredients.Tell others that next time I will ask Xu Youcang to help replenish the goods.

The shopkeeper asked, where do you open your shop?Liu Laozhu made up a name for his store in a nonsensical manner, and lied that his store was the largest grocery store in the town.

At this time, we arrived at Buzhuang.

Hu Yicheng's sister found that the country boys were dazzled when they entered the store. She didn't make a joke. On the contrary, because of her brother's face and the businessmen often smiled and were very enthusiastic.

I thought: I heard that this group of people came from the town below, not to mention that there must be no two-story cloth shop in the town, even in the county.Although her place is not as good as a real big store, it's no wonder that everything is new.

Hu Yicheng's sister asked Xiao Er to pour water for everyone.

Liu Laozhu took off the hat on his head, revealing his loose curled hair, and hurriedly waved his hands to stop him: "My lady, you don't have to be polite, we are not thirsty. I am afraid that you will be too busy, so I brought the boys here. I loaded the car myself."

After a while, let the boys follow the shop boy to load three hundred catties of cotton into the car, and then guard outside.

Then I specially introduced Mrs. Xu to the hostess: "This is my old lady. The man's surname is Xu. She wants to buy cotton alone, so you can pay back that price, and we have to buy a lot of cloth alone. I'm sorry to bother you. She said, lest I don’t know what kind of cloth is for making shoes and what kind of cloth is for sewing clothes, you are all women who know these things, please introduce me.”

The hostess almost thought it was a couple, so the sister-in-law called out and made an embarrassment, and wondered why the dozen or so boys didn't look alike, did they form a family in the end?
