When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 160 The hardships of doing business again

"You've never seen food before, and you actually put so much day lily in it?"

Yao Gong looked at the slightly sticky texture in the bowl. When he scooped it up, he could see scattered day lily and some fresh meat slices.

Xin Qu blew on the spoon, took a sip and said, "These are day lilies picked up from Shanxi. At the beginning of the year, the tribe went to the mountains to hunt. I thought these were good, so I wrote down the location. After the flowers bloomed in early spring, I took a bunch of them. Bags of salt, I asked the forest tribe to collect them for me. I collected more than 3000 kilograms and brought them back to dry.

When cooking meat, sprinkle some day lily into the soup, which can remove the fishy smell of the meat and reduce the heat.If you come a little bit during the summer heat, you won't feel too hot at night. "

"Hmm...it does have a different taste." Yao Gong raised his eyebrows at the entrance, and then said after a while, "There is no astringency? Is it still so salty?"

"Oh, this is refined salt. Ordinary sea salt can only be refined to one kilogram out of one thousand kilograms, and green salt can only be refined into one kilogram out of one hundred kilograms. They are specially given as tribute to the ghosts and gods. I just asked Zaojiang to add it secretly, and also gave it to Brother Gong and the clan members of Chang Xin Lai have a try. Don’t tell anyone."

Xin Qu lowered his voice a little, and Yao Gong nodded with satisfaction: "I understand, salt without astringent taste is simply a treasure. But can you get it? If you can, give me the green salt I saved there. Get a thousand pounds and help me get it."

"This..." Xin Qu looked embarrassed, "Brother Gong, this quantity is too big. I have to find the Guzhu family to evenly distribute the goods. They are close to the sea and there is no shortage of salt..."

"Qu, you're wrong." Zi put down the spoon and showed a rare smile, "Think about it, since this salt is not easy to produce, but it can be obtained by you, it must have a price.

If you ask someone to buy a thousand kilograms of salt, they may just give you the price, but you don’t actually need to give them this amount of salt, right?

If we are doing our own business, then we can use salt to mix it directly, so we don’t have to worry about it.
In this way, I will produce [-] catties of green salt, and you will get me ten catties of this salt.I think you must have some in stock. It must be nearly a hundred pounds. "

Yao Gong's eyes widened and he looked at Xin Qu: "Nearly a hundred pounds? You are not a good boy!"

"Oops! Brother Gong, Brother Bu, you... these are all gifts for me to marry my wife in the future. You have to leave some for me!" Xinqu quickly lowered his voice.

"How old are you? Don't worry! It's easy for you to contact Guzhu. It's just a matter of giving the other party a little more millet or other things in exchange for salt. Your brother-in-law and I will give you a little more, and you can take him outside and How much can you get in exchange for it? You think so." Before finishing speaking, Zi licked the spoon again. This kind of salt, which has no astringent taste at all, is really a temptation to the taste buds!
No one can resist this salt!

"This..." Xin Qu was in a dilemma.

"Pah!" Mr. Yao slapped the table, "It's settled, we each have [-] kilograms of green salt. You can carry ten kilograms for me, so you won't suffer a loss!"

Everyone was startled, and seeing that it was business, everyone continued to eat.

Xin Qu scratched his face, finally gritted his teeth, and closed his eyes in pain: "Okay, okay, Zaojiang, help me pick up the batch of salt I put in the storehouse, put it into two cans, twenty catty."

"Hey!" Zao Jiang responded and left quickly.

Xin Qu looked at the food in the bowl and felt a little "depressed".

"Don't be so good at taking advantage of it. I believe in your ability, kid. You will definitely be able to get good salt. Didn't you give Uncle Ce and Shan some as a gift last time?" Zibu smiled. In fact, he generally knew about the salt, because Shaoshan brought some of it back, but unfortunately that guy was also a smuggler, so he only used it once.

Licking the spoon carefully, Zi became more and more convinced that the salt Shaoshan and Yao Ce took away were from the same batch.

"Good guy, it seems you have a lot of inventory." Upon hearing this, Yao Gong reacted.

"Hey, although I am good at trading, I have been hacked sometimes." I wanted to exchange it for fifty or sixty pounds to make up for the travel expenses and losses I had accumulated, but no one bought it.

So when I got angry, I planned to wait until I got married to sell it.

Salt is not as good as grain. There is a severe drought now. If you eat grain to save your life, the more salt you eat, the thirstier you become.

If you just give me salt, it won't be of much use to me. At most, after next year's harvest, I can better exchange it for millet, and I don't feel so distressed. "

"Indeed." Zibu nodded. That's how business goes. Xin Qu's refined salt can be expected to be a bit more.

"By the way, Brother Gong, Uncle Ce and the others left in a hurry last time, and I didn't have time to say anything. Please help me ask other people in the Changxin clan if they want this kind of refined salt. The east side has just been balanced recently. In a few days, I will I plan to send someone to visit Lone Bamboo to check on Lone Bamboo’s situation.

If Lone Bamboo goes south on a large scale, it is estimated that we can get a lot of refined salt, and we will live a long-term life by then.

I'll try to place a big order so that the price can be lowered.At that time, I will take [-]% of the cost price, and you and the clan can raise the price as to how much you want to sell it for.

How about it? When Yao Gong heard this, he rubbed his chin: "Well...but I can't eat so much salt." "

"You can use food, tools, and slaves." Xinqu added a little more, "You should have seen trenches being dug in many places along the way.

There's been a lot of work for the Xin family recently. Your slaves definitely don't have much work to do. Why don't you rent them to me and I'll settle the bill with green salt.

I set a goal for everyone, such as from sunrise to sunset, and give each slave one bamboo coin.

Bamboo coins can be traded with the Xin family. You can exchange them for refined salt before leaving.

This way, no one in the clan can find fault with me, and you have salt, and I can calm down the clan's emotions. After all, they will scold me if I keep working. "

"Well..." Yao Gong frowned slightly. In fact, he didn't really want to rent out the slave. After all, Chang Xin was also busy with his own work recently. Under the influence of Yao Ce, Yao got used to a new life. The place must be built first, so that one can advance and retreat in a controlled manner and the tribesmen will not run away.

Therefore, Yao's manpower is actually not enough.

"Okay." Zibu smiled secretly, and he was planning how to throw the fine work in, but he didn't expect Xinqu to send it in himself!

Double happiness!

"A communist, this is a good thing. You want us to get the refined salt, bring it back to the clan, and ask other noble elders for twenty slaves per pound.

They will certainly say yes.

After all, other people can't afford this salt. How can we nobles not eat it? You think so. "

Without saying a word, he woke up Yao Cong: "It's true! I'll give you half of the thousand kilograms of green salt, Xing Qu, and I'll get you a few ghost slaves for the remaining half. They have a special team over there. A tribe that cultivates personal war slaves and trades frequently.

I took a look at the people around you. It looks weird. There is no one around you. Do you still look like the leader of the clan? "

Zi Bu smiled and said, "That's right! How can you, the leader of a clan, not have anyone around you to clear the way? Don't do what you did just now, where you can bark at all the cats and dogs in front of you."

"This..." As soon as Xin Qu's hesitant expression appeared, Yao Gong slammed the table with hatred, "Don't always have such an expression of worrying about gains and losses! The patriarch must have the majesty of the patriarch! Otherwise, others will only think that you are easy to bully. !”

"Okay." Xin Qu was "forced" to agree.

Zaojiang, who came over, put the jar on the table, looked at Xin Qu rushing to put it on the shelf, and raised his eyebrows.

Can Xinqu be easily bullied?

Why don't I believe it?

If he was easy to bully, everyone who followed Xin Qu from the battlefield would tell them that Xin Qu had a kind face and a dark heart, and if he offended him, he might be tortured to death at some point.

And he was also very good at fighting. He defeated a strong man in public, which directly frightened the Yu family's attack.

Is this kind of person easy to bully?
Forget it, I'm too lazy to care.

"Clan Chief Yan is here."

"Okay." Xin Qu nodded, opened the two cans of salt and looked at it, confirming that it was "quintessence salt", and then pushed them out painfully.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Zi Bu smiled and accepted, "I won't do the green salt later. I will also send you thirty young and strong slaves, and I will also send you four thousand kilograms of millet and two cows."

"Oh! No, thanks!" Xinqu quickly thanked him.

Millet, four thousand catties!Quite generous!

After Dan Zibu smiled, there was some coldness in his eyes. After these people were sent, they were to act as internal agents.
