Red makeup against the world

Chapter 529 Jianghu Liars?

The tripman Pegasus came to the station first, and when he brought everyone there, hot water and horse rations were ready.

The coachman drove all the carriages into the yard, unloaded the carts, tied the horses to the stables, and fed the horses with water and food.Wherever they go, these horses should be taken care of first.They need to eat and rest well, so that they will have strength tomorrow, so that they won't miss the trip.

Anyone who has been in business all year round knows that the schedule is the most unavoidable delay.If you're camping out in the wilderness, anything can happen.Wolves, thieves, bandits, anything can appear.

The postman brought up steaming steamed buns, boiled a big pot of porridge, and let everyone eat in the courtyard so that they could rest early.Qu Zi had a few large plates of mutton in his hands. They are martial arts practitioners and must eat meat.

Shopkeeper Guo and Wu Biaotou naturally wouldn't eat with these porters and travelers.They were in the upper room, let Xiaoer serve wine and food, and slowly sat opposite each other to eat.On the road, this time is the happiest time of the day.

In the middle of eating, Yi Cheng knocked on the door outside: "Master Guo, someone is looking for you."

"Looking for me?" Shopkeeper Guo asked in surprise.How could anyone look for him on the way?
I only heard a refined voice outside the door asking: "Is shopkeeper Guo there? I have a big business to discuss with you."

Shopkeeper Guo stopped his chopsticks and said, "Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man entered.He is not tall, has a mustache, and looks like a businessman.Wearing a blue brocade robe.He wears two green jasper rings on his fingers, and this outfit can buy half a caravan.

He entered the door, looked left and right, and then looked at shopkeeper Guo and said, "This is shopkeeper Guo. I'm sorry to disturb your meal."

Although he said so in his mouth, he didn't move at all, without any embarrassment.

Wu Biaotou stood up tactfully, "Master Guo has a big business to discuss, and I've almost eaten too much, you can talk about it." He opened the door and went out, and turned back to grab a jug of wine before leaving.

Shopkeeper Guo was suspicious, and he cupped his hands and said politely, "Who is your Excellency? What do you want from me?"

"Shopkeeper Guo, your fleet is full of grain trucks, right?" The middle-aged man smiled proudly.

"Who are you?!" Shopkeeper Guo suddenly stood up and asked in surprise.Their Qin family business entered Dizhou this time, and they did a great job of keeping it secret, even few members of the Qin family knew about it.How did this man who appeared out of nowhere know?

"Don't panic, shopkeeper. My surname is Sun, and I am the shopkeeper of Ningxing Company. Just like you, I also come here to do food business."

Shopkeeper Guo slowly sat down, "Isn't the Ningxing Company located in the Gyeonggi area? Why did you reach out to Dizhou?"

Shopkeeper Sun smiled lightly: "This is none of Shopkeeper Guo's business. I'm here just to ask you to give me all the food you've transported this time."

"That's impossible." Shopkeeper Guo refused immediately without even thinking about it.Are you kidding me? The eldest son of the Qin family has secretly hoarded such a large batch of food without telling his descendants, and transported it here so hard, isn't it just for huge profits?

Seeing that it will reach the ground in a few days, how could he be willing to let it fly away with the fat in his mouth?He has heard of the name of Ningxing Company, and it is said that it is backed by the dignitaries in the capital, and no one in the entire capital area would dare to mess with it.

But this is Dizhou far away, not in the capital.Qianglong can't overwhelm the local snake, what is he afraid of?
Hearing what he said so resolutely, shopkeeper Sun's face suddenly darkened.He was working at Ningxing Company, and in the grain merchants in the capital, he was walking sideways, and he hadn't seen anyone's face yet.

Not to mention the hard work of the trip to Dizhou, Chen Liang was discovered halfway.He was sent back to the prince and was severely scolded.The beauty next to the crown prince was really heart-wrenching like a snake and a scorpion, so he had no choice but to confess the crown prince's concubine.

It's still Master Du who is kind-hearted and came up with the idea to ask him to intercept the food team nearby to collect the food, and to complete the prince's errands first.

"Don't be in a hurry," Shopkeeper Sun said in a deep voice, "We will collect this batch of grain at [-]% higher than the market price. If you are willing, you can sign a contract right away."

"Twenty percent?" Shopkeeper Guo was a little moved.The profit of food is already thin, and it is because of this flood that the price is so high, [-]% is already a considerable amount.But after thinking about it, when we arrived in Dizhou, all the grain was sold, maybe more than [-]%.

Seeing his hesitation, shopkeeper Sun continued: "It takes at least three days' journey from here to Dizhou. You can't go fast with the grain truck, at least five days. In these five days, so many people need food, drink, and food. Sleeping, all of these will cost money. They will be sold on the ground, and there is no fixed amount of silver that can be sold."

Just listen to his eloquence, "However, if you sell it to me on the spot, you can go back immediately with someone, and the profit is not small. Shopkeeper Guo, you are a shrewd person, what do you think?"

Moved by his persuasion, Shopkeeper Guo nodded and said, "Okay! Bring the contract, and you'll get both money and goods."

Shopkeeper Sun rubbed his hands, and said: "We have signed a contract, and you can pay the money at Ningxing's shop according to the contract."

"What?" Shopkeeper Guo almost lifted the table when he heard it.No money?No money to buy food.

Seeing that he is the shopkeeper of Ningxing Company, shopkeeper Guo didn't get angry on the spot, and sat down angrily: "Please, we don't do this business."

Shopkeeper Sun still didn't give up. If he couldn't complete this task, wouldn't he have to peel off his skin when he went back?Thinking of Wang Miaoyan's snake-like smile, he shuddered.

"With Ningxing Company as a guarantee, what is Shopkeeper Sun worried about?"

The shopkeeper Guo didn't raise his head, and muttered softly: "There is no real money these days, who knows if it's a liar?" Then he raised his voice: "Go slowly, I won't give it away."

Shopkeeper Sun listened to his words, his face was so gloomy that water could be wrung out.fraud?Thankfully he can tell.Sure enough, he is a rich man from the countryside, and he has no knowledge!

He turned around angrily and left, slamming the door hard with a "bang bang".

Shopkeeper Guo sat by the table and snorted coldly: "It's a beautiful idea to want to be a white wolf with empty gloves!" He put his chopsticks on the table and poked viciously at the big chicken leg on the plate.

Wu Biaotou stepped into the room, closed the door, and said: "Are you all right?"

He just kept an eye out and listened to the conversation in the room outside.The two of them spoke without lowering their voices, and he listened to them.

When shopkeeper Guo was moved, he was still a little worried. If they sold the grain on the spot, they would have to charge a lot less money for the dart they sent.It's rare for such a light job to escort a grain truck, and he doesn't want to lose it easily.

Shopkeeper Guo shook his head: "It's nothing! I thought that under the guise of Ningxing Company, I could give them food with a contract, what a spring and autumn dream!"

Wu Biaotou praised: "It's still the shopkeeper Guo who holds it firmly, maybe some charlatan appears at this juncture. Even if it is really Ningxing Company, what can we do?"

Shopkeeper Guo was still a little hesitant at first, but Wu Biaotou's words undoubtedly gave him courage.
