Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Good Deal
Seeing that he could convince Lei Leopard, Huang Dalang was also happy in his heart, so he also picked up his wine bowl and dried it.
However, Lei Bao picked up the five hundred yuan money ticket, put it in front of Lu Er, and said: "Second brother Lu, this sword has no eyes, no wonder Lei, these five hundred yuan will ask the brother to transfer it to the Shuizhai brothers who suffered today, and the matter will be revealed, how about it?" ”
Lu Er frowned, but he still nodded, but he let his son pour a bowl of wine and said dryly: "Brother Lu, thank you." ”
Lu Er also knew that this Lei Leopard came to the village to persuade Du Zhong to rob Hua Shigang, but because Hu Laojiu wanted to kill Du Zhong and stand on his own, this fire and killing was based on personal martial arts, and it was indeed a sword without eyes. Now that Lei Bao has changed hands, he will use the settling-in fee given by Huang Dalang as compensation, which can be regarded as a downfall, and if he refuses again, it will not sweep Huang Dalang's face.
And Lu Er finally understood that today's Huang Dalang is not the wooden young man who followed Huang Laoqi to the head of the water market to buy fish a few days ago.
Also, what Lu Er couldn't understand was how the brothers of the Sun family and the four elders of the Sun family came to the Huang family to teach, and the changes made him feel that there must be many secrets in Huang Dalang in front of him that no one knows.
Seeing that Lu Er drank wine and promised his subordinates money, Lei Bao was also happy, and immediately shouted to pour wine and eat meat, but Huang Dalang pointed out another five hundred yuan and put it in front of him and said: "Second Uncle Lu, I am afraid that I will not be able to go back to Longzhai, and I also speak openly, I want to ask Second Uncle Lu to do my family's teaching, okay?" ”
Lu Er was stunned for a moment and postponed: "I...... My martial arts are too poor, how can I teach? ”
Huang Dalang hurriedly smiled: "I heard my father say, my uncle has a mixed name called Yizhang Pole, how can you say that martial arts are too bad." And my uncle is not only teaching at my house, but also asking my uncle to help plan big things. ”
Lu Er hurriedly asked, "What's the big deal?" Da Lang, let's listen to it, could it be the matter of Huashi Gang? ”
"The matter of Huashigang, naturally Master Lei has a plan, I use my uncle to recognize the waterway, but I want to take my uncle's way to do some business." After Huang Dalang finished smiling, he asked Fushou to bring two bags, opened them and presented them to Lu Er and asked, "Uncle, look, are these goods good?" ”
Lu Er was surprised when he looked into the bag, and then reached out and took some of each, and said to himself: "Good things, they are whiter than the salt of Xixiajing, and this frosted sugar...... How can it be as white as salt? I'm afraid that there won't be much of this kind of good goods, right? Why don't you put it on the market and sell it, but you have to go by water? ”
Huang Dalang said: "Uncle, don't worry, as long as my family's workshop is completed and the raw materials are sufficient, this kind of white salt and sugar can produce about 100 stones per month." As for why you don't put it on the market to buy it, you are afraid of lawsuits, so it is better to take the waterway. ”
Lu Er took a look again, and saw that Lei Bao and the Sun family were also curious, so he pushed it to everyone to watch, thinking that this Huang Dalang's uncle was the lord of Huangzhou, and he was afraid of getting into a lawsuit and knew that the matter was serious, so he asked: "How does Dalang want to take this waterway?" ”
Huang Dalang said: "Just wait for my uncle to heal from his injury, find some reliable people to pull up a team, pull raw materials from Xiajiang, that is, sea salt and jaggery, and after processing them in Huangzhou, they will be sold in Xiajiang." Uncle thinks that this kind of white salt and white sugar is good to sell in Xiajiang? ”
"It must be easy to sell, of course this kind of good business is done, a few years ago, the best Xixia green salt can still be sold for three hundred wen a catty, this kind of white salt does not need to increase the price, sell it for a consistent two catties, I am afraid that I will have to break the head." As for this sugar, I don't know how much it costs, but it's not easy to estimate......" Lu Er looked at his pocket and pondered, although he was in charge of inquiring about the news in Yulong Village, he was also familiar with the waterways on the river, and he personally went to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian Road in Xiajiang to sell illicit salt, and the price of salt sold privately by seaside salt households was very cheap, and the inferior quality of sea salt was only about seven or eight wen, and the most expensive was only fifteen wen a catty, and it could be sold for at least thirty wen a catty when it was transported to Huangzhou.
This is less than the profit obtained by the government from forcibly buying from salt farmers at a price of 4 or 5 yuan, and then selling it at a price of 40 or 50 yuan, but for Langlizi, who has no serious financial way, it is a more lucrative business than robbing houses and houses, at least there is no need to fight with others.
However, this white sugar seems to be more profitable than white salt, but Lu Er didn't dare to ask what the cost was, and he also knew that this secret method of making sugar and salt could not be leaked easily.
When Huang Dalang heard this, he clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay! As long as Second Uncle Lu said that this business was good, now Uncle Lu only needs to take care of his injuries. ”
After speaking, Huang Dalang came to see the four elders of the Sun family again, and was twisting the money ticket to think about how much to get, but he saw the one-eyed Uncle Sun Jiu glaring and said: "I am here to support the elderly, and now the brothers of the Sun family have done your tutoring, and I am naturally a helper, and Dalang doesn't have to plan anymore." ”
Uncle Sun Qi also smiled and said: "Lao Jiu is right, I can be regarded as a helper, just treat it with good wine and meat!" ”
The Sun family knew that Sun Li's new brothers had received a lot of money from the Huang family, so naturally they would not teach with a thick face, and reached out to ask for the settlement fee, so they rushed to mention it first.
Huang Dalang could only accept the money ticket in a sneering manner, poured another bowl of wine and got up and said, "In this way, Dalang has thanked the uncles!" ”
A few old men were not polite, and promised to serve a bowl and drink wine, and also eat a large piece of meat.
After drinking for a while, everyone began to get warm, Huang Dalang knew that Lu Er had previously been a sailor, and Lei Bao was also the Marquis of the Tokyo Divine Guard, plus the four members of the Sun family were really born in the Western Army at night, and they were actually a litter of veterans.
When the wine was hot, Huang Dalang couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart, so he asked what the third mother-in-law was doing today, who knew that the Sun family actually said in unison that it was a Sun family stunt passed down from the ancestor Sun Simiao Sun Zhenren, if Huang Dalang wanted to learn it, there was no problem, as long as he could please the third mother-in-law.
The wine was eaten until nightfall, and Huang Dalang was drunk again, and he was sent back to his room to rest without knowing anything.
Subsequently, in the first half of the night, Huang Dalang had nightmares, in which all kinds of people died tragically, and then took out his stomach and ran after Huang Dalang, and in the second half of the night, he had a strange dream, dreaming of how people in later generations would disembowel, take out the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys and fiddle with them, and then put them back to sew up the belly.
When Huang Dalang got up on the second day, he first felt that he was cold from the chest, lower abdomen to thighs, and when he sat up, he almost cried, but he saw that most of the thin quilt covered by his body was wet, and when he opened it, the pants and the bed were even more wet, and he must have been drunk last night and had nightmares, so he wetted the bed.
With a wry smile, she got up and changed her clothes and pants, and when she was taking this futon and didn't know what to do, Yuemei came with a basin of water, Huang Dalang hurriedly hid her wet clothes and pants when she saw it, Yuemei giggled and said: "Young master, just now the slave fetched water to wipe the young master's face, but the young master also had hysteria, saying that he was thirsty and wanted to drink water!" ”
Huang Dalang thought about it, but found that he could only remember that he had persuaded Lei Bao and Lu Er, and he couldn't remember what happened after that, so he couldn't help but secretly say: It's broken! Drink the fragments again!
