Chapter 629: The Road to the Enemy is Narrow

Yin and Yang Wei, this is a "gold rush" opportunity for ordinary people.

As long as you can weave good things out of bamboo, there is no need to worry about no market here. You can sell things on the Yin Yang Polder, and you can use this to exchange some money to subsidize your family, and this has become a polder market that everyone can participate in.

Since his grandfather's generation, Yang Laoshida has used bamboo to weave bamboo hats to sell in the Yinyang Wei, and has become the most typical trader in the Yinyang Wei. Every year, we also look forward to this day to add a side income to the family.

Because of the high quality and low price of the bamboo hats he weaves, he is deeply loved by everyone, and he gets a lot of repeat customers every year, so that his bamboo hats are often sold in full.

As in previous years, he had already taken up a place here and built a simple shed. It's not that I'm worried about the rain, after all, the bamboo hats will sell faster when it rains, but I want to provide you with a place to shelter from the rain and the sun.

He has prepared a lot of bamboo hats this year, and there is a risk that they will not be sold out. It's just that business in the morning is very average, but noon is the best trading time, after all, many people who are far away will not come so early, and people who are far away tend to have a much stronger desire to buy.

While waiting for the transaction, I noticed that there was some commotion in the crowd on the slope.

Unlike previous years, there is a luxurious fleet here. In this regard, he couldn't help but look at it twice, and felt a kind of weirdness, after all, it was a rare situation.

Although the reputation of this Yin Yang Wei is very great, the essence is among the poor people, and many rich people do not bother to join in the fun. The main reason for the popularity of bamboo products here is that they are sold cheaply, and the things are not really good, and the rich are usually not uncommon for this cheapness.

However, he just took a few more looks, after all, those who seemed to be from a different world to him. As long as it is not an official or a ruffian who comes to collect the stall fee, even if the lord of the mansion is there in person, it has nothing to do with him.

"Brother, this bamboo hat is very strong!"

After a while, a cute little girl wearing a light blue skirt came to the shed and picked up a small bamboo hat, and her big bright eyes looked very excited.

This is a very simple compliment, but it is the most pertinent compliment in Yang Laoshi's ears. Because the bamboo hats he weaves do not pursue beauty, but strive for durability, no matter how heavy the rain will not seep into it.

Lin Haoran was not interested in this ordinary bamboo hat, and stepped forward to buckle the bamboo hat directly on the head of the tiger girl. But I was surprised to find that this bamboo hat was worn on this girl, and it was so good-looking, which made this wild girl have a bit of the style of a village baby.

The tiger girl was not too rustic, and asked the little rabbit with great interest: "Little rabbit, is this bamboo hat good-looking?" ”

"It looks good on your head!" Little Rabbit said sincerely.

The tiger girl was very satisfied with the bamboo hat on her head, and said to the little rabbit and the others: "Do you want to pick one too!" ”

"Don't!"

Little Rabbit, Little Pig and Little Fox have a very unified opinion, and they shook their heads and refused without hesitation, they don't like this rustic bamboo hat, or like the oil-paper umbrella that Sister Hua gave them.

Naturally, the tiger girl would not force it, and after tying the strap, she raised her head and looked at Lin Haoran and asked, "Brother, do you want it?" ”

Not to mention the scum of this bamboo hat, his identity was obviously inconsistent, and he looked at her with disdain and said, "Tiger girl, don't you think this is very inconsistent with your brother's elegant temperament?" ”

"What does it have to do with temperament? It's good to like it, I think you look good when you wear it! Hu Niu didn't think so, picked a bamboo hat and said: "Brother, this one is very strong, I'll buy you this!" ”

As he spoke, he ignored Lin Haoran's disagreement, so he raised his head and asked the stall owner Yang Honestly, "Uncle, how much do you cost these two bamboo hats?" ”

"I usually sell 20 yuan a top, but your top is relatively small, so I will charge you 35 yuan for two tops!" Yang honestly looked at this little girl with a pink carving and smiled kindly.

Lin Haoran knows that the "bamboo market" here can rise to a large extent because the stall owners here do not have the burden of "rent" and "invisible business tax", and the stall owners often just want to subsidize their families with their crafts, so they have a great price advantage.

Just hearing the stall owner's offer, it was still a big surprise, and it was far cheaper than he imagined. You must know that Mrs. Jiang's woman has made an oil-paper umbrella workshop, and the price of a single product is as high as one or two, and there are even ridiculously high umbrellas.

When Hu Niu was paying, several young people came to the stall, but they made Tiezhu and several people immediately put on guard.

The young man at the head had a scar on his face, and he looked like he was not a good person, and he proudly pointed to the bamboo hats stacked under the shed and asked, "How much is your bamboo hat!" If the price is right, you want it all! ”

I'm afraid there are 200 bamboo hats under the shed, but I don't know if this is a shrewd man, or he came to stir up trouble.

"No matter how many tops you want, I'll pay twenty dollars a top, not two prices!" Yang replied honestly and honestly.

Scarface looked at the pile of bamboo hats, frowned slightly, and said, "Didn't you hear what I said clearly?" I want them all, and I don't sell them all! ”

"Twenty wen is already the lowest, and this price is not for sale!" Yang honestly shook his head.

A chill welled up on Scarface's face, and he snorted coldly: "It's really Yulin's head!" If you don't sell it, I'll go to another house! ”

Lin Haoran could see that this young man with a scar on his face wanted to be captured and pretended to leave, but in fact, he was probably thinking that Yang Laoshi would stop him. It's just that he was destined to be disappointed, and after he walked more than ten steps, Yang Laoshi still didn't mean to stop him.

When he turned around, he probably found that Lin Haoran was also staring at him, Scarface snorted coldly, and really led people elsewhere.

Lin Haoran's brows furrowed slightly, and he turned his head to see that Hu Niu had already given money, but he was not in a hurry to leave, but asked with a smile: "Old man, where are you from?" ”

"I'm from Jingweipo, my surname is Yang Mingshi, but everyone calls me Yang Honest!" Yang Laoshi stretched out his calloused hand and pointed to the village not far away, showing a sincere smile.

Lin Haoran glanced at the place he was pointing, then looked at the bamboo hat in his hand, and pretended to be puzzled: "Your bamboo hat is so strong, and the strap you use is so good, I'm afraid you won't be able to make a lot of money, right?" ”

"Since my grandfather's generation, it was this price, and now it is really impossible to make a lot of money, so my son is not willing to do this with me. However, I still have more than a dozen acres of paddy fields at home, and the whole family is not hungry! Yang honestly poured bitter water, but it was very broad and authentic.

As in every era, the official currency has undergone a process of depreciation.

It's just that compared to those Daming treasure banknotes that have been devalued to be worthless, Daming's copper coins are relatively kind, at least now two thousand copper coins can be exchanged for one or two silver, and the depreciation is not too outrageous.

Yang Laoshi seems to have a good impression of Lin Haoran who is dressed as a scholar, or extends his good impression of the tiger girl to Lin Haoran, and added: "Although I earn less, my materials and workmanship are absolutely genuine!" I can guarantee that there will be absolutely no two good and cheap bamboo hats like me in Leizhou Mansion! ”

Lin Haoran checked the bamboo hat in his hand again, and couldn't help nodding slightly in agreement with this statement, knowing that this was indeed a sincere person, he suddenly looked at it with a smile: "Yang Laoshi, how about we talk about a deal?" ”

"What kind of deal?" Yang honestly asked suspiciously.

Lin Haoran looked at his simple eyes, smiled and said, "I can give you twenty-five yuan each, but I want two thousand, are you willing?" ”

"Guest, you're not kidding, are you?" Yang Laoshi's eyes immediately widened, and he said in disbelief.

Lin Haoran didn't have silver taels on her body at all, she raised the bamboo hat that covered the tiger girl's face, and said to this little girl looking around: "Where are you looking?" Where's your money! ”

"Rice bowl!" The tiger girl raised her face and screamed at the stupid big man behind her.

Lin Haoran took the silver taels from the rice jar, handed over the fifteen taels of silver and said, "This is a deposit of twenty taels!" After the things are done, they will be sent directly to the Leizhou City United Trade Bank! ”

Yang Laoshi took the heavy silver tael, and said as if in a dream: "This ...... It's true? ”

"The money has been given to you, will it still deceive you?" The woman's eyes were bright, and she assured Lin Haoran: "This son, don't worry, we will definitely deliver it!" ”

Yang Laoshi said with a bitter face as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Can ...... But I can't weave that much! ”

"Master, you are stupid! Aren't our four sons and cousins all good at weaving bamboo hats? You let them help them do it, and then give them a little pay! Undoubtedly she was a shrewd woman, and she immediately came up with an idea.

"They are usually busy enough to farm, so why do they need to do this work?" Yang honestly frowned.

"You're really a Yulin head, their lives are tight, don't you want to make more money? If you hadn't made the price of bamboo hats so low, would they have given up inheriting your craft? The woman's finger poked at Yang Laoshi's forehead, and she accused with hatred.

Yang Laoshi was probably poked, and nodded slightly in agreement, but then asked Lin Haoran seriously: "Guest officer, I still don't understand, what do you want so many bamboo hats for?" ”

"I'm not going to hide it from you! Isn't it time to open the sea? This bamboo hat is going to be sold to the South Seas! As long as your stuff is good, don't say 1,000 in the future, I even have to ask you for 10,000 or 100,000! Lin Haoran smiled frankly. 、

To this day, the profits of this bamboo product are no longer eye-catching for him. But he is not only the behind-the-scenes boss of the Lian Workshop, but also the prefect of Leizhou Mansion, so he needs to think about more things.

The people of Leizhou are born to be strong, and if they can't live their lives, and you are a rich country, they will inevitably go to sea one after another, thus looting the fleet of the United Cooperative.

In addition, why is the Red Flag Gang's power so huge, in the final analysis, the people can't get by, so they are engaged in the business of losing their heads. But if everyone can live a good life, who would be stupid enough to go to sea to make a living.

In the same way, Lin Haoran made up his mind to pass on the benefits of opening the sea to the people of Leizhou as soon as possible, so as to get their support and support, and even help against the Red Flag Gang together.

The woman was startled by the big cake drawn by Lin Haoran, her eyes widened, and she suddenly murmured, "If this is the case, will we be able to open a workshop in the future?" ”

"If you want to open a workshop, you can find me! I'm in charge of the Union Silver now, and I've borrowed a lot of money to open a workshop, so you can do it if you want! The tiger girl interjected next to her, and said with an expression that she didn't lie to you.

"Really?" The woman's eyes were bright again, and there was a sense of excitement that she had been hit by a pie falling from the sky.

Yang Laoshi took a deep breath, digested the news, and then asked seriously: "This son, when do you want it?" If I'm in a hurry, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it! ”

"Naturally, the sooner the better! Preferably within two months, or up to three months if that doesn't work! Lin Haoran said very considerately.

As soon as the words fell, Yang Laoshi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's guaranteed to be completed in two months!" There was no contradiction in time, so that his hanging heart was completely let go, knowing that this was really pie in the sky.

"Then it's settled, farewell!" Lin Haoran gave up his hand, and then led Hu Niu and the others to leave.

"Childe, go slowly!" As if they were still in a dream, Yang Laoshi and his wife watched Lin Haoran and his party leave, and it took a long time to come back to their senses, and they faintly felt that happy days were coming.

Lin Haoran and his entourage continued to stroll around this polder market with unique charm, appreciating the exquisite art of bamboo products in this era, and soon discovered what they each liked.

The tiger girl took a fancy to a fishing bamboo basket, the little rabbit took a fancy to a bamboo rabbit, the little pig took a fancy to a bamboo bowl, the little fox asked for a bamboo flute, and Lin Haoran took a fancy to a bamboo reclining chair and so on.

The goods here are really everything, and it is dizzying to get lost in this magical world of bamboo goods.

While they were not yet full of fun, noon had come.

Although this polder market mainly sells "bamboo products", it is naturally indispensable to eat. It's just that this is a "barren mountain and wilderness" after all, and naturally there will be no restaurants and restaurants, all of which are simple food stalls.

There are everything from dustpans, shrimp cakes and fried dumplings, but many of these food stalls are located on the outskirts of the polder.

Lin Haoran and his entourage came to a food stall under a tree, this is an old couple with a somewhat silly son, probably not far from here, so there are a few tables and chairs.

Tiger girl is selected to look tender and oily pork intestine powder, which is made of rice ground into a pulp and steamed, the powder skin is rolled up into a long strip, because its shape is like pig intestines and gets its name, white as snow, thin as paper, known for being particularly tender.

The little old man was very skillful, and after pouring the sauce on the plate containing the pork cheong fun, he opened the oil tank with a narrow mouth, and poured oil from it with a small spoon and poured it on the pork cheong fun.

Spooned up and down a dozen times, the movements were dazzling. If you think that you have added a lot of sesame oil, you are wrong, in fact, there is not much oil in the spoon, but it has been evenly poured on the snow-white pork rice noodles.

This skill is suspected of cutting corners in this era, but if it is in the future, I am afraid it will be very popular. If you go too far, this can be done in the right amount, which is the real good product.

"It smells so good!"

The tiger girl is a little girl who has experienced hunger, took the pig rice powder that belongs to her, and sniffed it intoxicatedly, the bright eyes immediately shone brightly, and the moth eyebrows were also stretched.

Lin Haoran smiled when she looked at her, and her heart was also warm, feeling that it was worth accompanying this girl on this trip.

It only took a moment for him to choose the cake soup and it was served. This is a cake soup made from rice flour made from vermicelli, and this round and slender vermicelli is cooked in sugar water.

Lin Haoran smelled a fragrance, picked up the vermicelli and put it in his mouth to chew, and found that it was really fragrant and refreshing, and the soup was smooth and moisturized, and the sugar content was just right.

But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the side of Zhuwei, accompanied by the voice of a young man. There are people who like to join in the fun, and they have checked out the accounts and ran over there.

After a while, a group of young people came towards them, led by the scar-faced young man they met in the morning.

This scarface is called Yang Qi, and after walking around the bamboo pistol, he found that the bamboo hats that were still honest Yang were the most inexpensive, so he went back and bought all those bamboo hats at a price of twenty yuan.

Just miss this village, and often there won't be that store.

Yang Laoshi had already made a plan, except for selling them to some repeat customers, he could keep the other bamboo hats, and wanted to complete the big order that Lin Haoran handed over to him as soon as possible.

He didn't intend to agree to Yang Qitong's move. Faced with Yang Qi's desire to use a strong way, his wife raised his voice and summoned his nephew and neighbors over.

Yang Qi didn't want to offend Yang Laoshi, the "head snake", so he planned to play his anger on Lin Haoran, a foreigner, and it was not difficult to inquire about Lin Haoran, so he came with a large group of people to ask for guilt.

Yang Qi came to Lin Haoran angrily, and said in a fierce voice: "I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm a member of the Red Flag Gang, and this time the master is in charge of the procurement within the gang!" Now that you've ruined your master's good deeds, what should you do? ”

Lin Haoran originally wanted to let Tie Zhutou come over and send people away, but when he heard this, he unexpectedly looked up at Yang Qi. Unexpectedly, he met the Red Flag Gang here, the pirate group that he wanted to get rid of.
