Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 160 The newly opened salt shop in Bei City, fine salt appears in everyone’s sight! Everyone is suspicious of fine salt!
The clerk nodded when he heard the middle-aged fat man's words, turned around and left the store to go to Bei City to check the situation of this newly opened salt shop.

The middle-aged fat man stood up and walked out of the store. At this time, there were many people on the street outside the West Market.

There are many fewer people now, and the middle-aged fat man clearly saw this scene.

Many people buying salt went to Beishi. Thinking of this place, the fat middle-aged man had a trace of disdain on his face.

He agreed to let the guy go to Bei City, just for a casual inspection.

Their West Market is the real place to sell salt, and tomorrow the West Market will become crowded again.

Many people lined up to buy salt from them.

Beishi!

【Suitable salt】

There is a newly opened salt shop in Bei City. This salt shop looks simple but is actually quite large.

At this time, the outside of the salt shop was already crowded with pedestrians.

Anyone who opens a salt shop in Xianyang City will almost always go to the West Market. This is the first time there is a salt shop in the North City.

Pedestrians gathered outside the store and pointed at the store.

Many of them came here while wandering in Bei City, and some pedestrians were holding salt shakers in their hands.

These people heard the news in West Market and came here from West Market.

At this time, several huge bags were placed outside the salt shop.

There was a waiter standing next to each bag, while everyone was looking at the store and pointing.

A middle-aged man wearing simple cloth with a smile on his face and a goatee walked out of the shop.

"I am the shopkeeper of this shop. Welcome all fellow folks to our [Yiyan]. I believe some customers already know what our shop sells."

"Some customers just come here and don't know what our store sells."

"In front of all our guests, I would like to say once again that our store sells salt."

The goatee man looked at the people outside the store and shouted loudly with a smile on his face.

After the man finished speaking, he looked calm when he knew that this shop sold salt, but there was a trace of surprise on his face when he didn't know.

They didn't expect that there would be such a big salt shop in Beishi.

"Shopkeeper, since your shop sells salt, hurry up and get the salt out for everyone to see."

An old man holding a salt shaker looked anxious on his face and looked at the goatee man and said.

Other pedestrians holding salt shakers nodded slightly when they heard the old man's words.

They didn't care about this store. They came to Beishi from West Market because they heard there was cheap salt here.

The goatee man was not angry when he heard the old man's words. He looked at the several guys with a smile on his face: "Open the bag."

"Let your guests take a look at the salt sold in our store!"

The guy heard the goatee man's words and opened the bag.

The people gathered outside the store looked at the opened bag.

I saw that the bag contained white powder-like items, and everyone was stunned when they saw this scene.

It took a while for everyone to react, and many pedestrians had a hint of anger on their faces.

"Shopkeeper, you dare to deceive customers in a newly opened shop."

"Salt is not like this at all. You actually use powdered stuff to sell it as salt."

The old man who just spoke looked at the goatee man with a trace of anger on his face.

The salt they know is all in irregular particle shape.

The bag in front of them now contained a powdery white substance, which they thought must not be salt.

This store is deceiving them and selling them these powdery items as salt.

"The old man is right, salt is not like this."

“A newly opened store dares to deceive customers. It’s really abominable!”

There were a few more pedestrians holding salt shakers, echoing the old man's words with angry expressions on their faces.

They came to Beishi from West Market just to buy cheaper salt.

As a result, I didn’t even see any salt, let alone buy cheap salt. The man sent by the middle-aged fat man to observe was standing aside with a smile on his face.

On the way here, he was still worried about whether the salt sold in this store in Bei City was really cheap.

It will have an impact on the business of their West Market store, and they will make less money.

Seeing this scene in front of him, the clerk knew that this store was another scam.

As a clerk, he has seen too many shops like this.

Although the other pedestrians didn't say anything to scold him, their expressions were a little ugly.

The goatee man didn't panic at all when he heard what the old man and several others said.

Looking at everyone with a smile on his face, he said, "Guests, please don't be impulsive."

"The white powder you see is indeed salt, the salt sold in our store."

"It can't be compared to the low-quality salt sold by those shops in the West Market. The salt sold to you by those shops in the West Market."

"There is almost no saltiness, and there is a lot of bitterness. The resulting dishes have a bitter taste."

"The salt sold in our store does not have any bitter taste, only salty taste."

“The dishes are delicious.”

"Now the salt is placed in front of you. If any guests don't believe it, you can come forward and taste it."

"In order to put all guests at ease, I will give you a try first."

After the goatee man finished speaking, he walked to the bag.

He reached into the bag and twisted a little salt between his fingers.

Put it in your mouth in front of everyone.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the goatee man's behavior.

After a while, everyone reacted, and the anger on their faces disappeared.

Everyone looked at each other, and the goatee man told them that the bag contained salt, and they also saw the goatee man taste some of it himself.

Everyone stood still, seeing powdered salt for the first time.

Even if the man with the goatee tried it himself, they still had a hint of doubt in their hearts.

"Since no one has tried it, I will try it for you!"

The old man who spoke just now walked to the bag on crutches, reached out and took a little salt from the bag and put it into his mouth.

The old man closed his eyes, and the sides of his cheeks twitched slightly.

Everyone held their breath and looked at the old man. They knew that the old man was trying the taste of the salt.

“Delicious, so delicious!”

"At such an old age, this is the first time I have tasted such delicious salt."

Soon the old man opened his eyes, looked at everyone with excitement on his face and shouted loudly.

When the goatee man heard what the old man said, a smile appeared on his face.

The people gathered outside the shop were stunned when they heard the old man's words, and the clerk who came here from the West City was also stunned at this time.

Soon everyone reacted and looked at the bag containing salt.

"Old man, are you telling the truth? Are you and this shopkeeper cheating on us customers?"

A man holding a salt shaker looked at the old man with a hint of suspicion on his face.

Some pedestrians nodded slightly when they heard the man's words. This was the first time they saw powdered salt.

Even if the old man himself said it was salt, they still had a trace of doubt in their hearts.

But the old man and the shopkeeper deceived them together. It was not like they had never seen such a thing before.

"This elder brother is right. Who knows if you, an old man, and this shopkeeper are collaborating to deceive us."

The guy quickly reacted and echoed the man's words.

He is also a salt seller and has seen a lot of salt.

Today was the first time he saw powdered salt, and he suspected that the old man and the shopkeeper were deceiving them.
