Back to Datang with weapons

Chapter 86 Preparing to Dig a Pit
"Ten catties of turbid wine only get one catty of spirits?"

After the old man heard this, he stroked his beard and thought.

He only heard about the shocking price of that spirit in the morning, but he didn't know that a catty of spirit would need so much turbid liquor to get it. If so, then the price of spirit is indeed not expensive!

"So that's the case, but that Yu doesn't care about that, he's determined to trick you this time!"

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Hearing this, Zhang Twelve's eyes lit up, and he really wanted to see what tricks Yu Haojie was up to.

So the old man told him what had happened that morning.

It turned out that in the morning, a group of young servants from the Yu family came to Wangzhuang Village on horseback, and went door to door to explain things. As for the things to explain, it was naturally about Zhang Twelve and the others.

Those boys first said that the spirits sold in Lujia Restaurant in Liangzhou cost five taels of silver per catty. Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and then they became angry for a while: the wine we worked so hard for was only sold for two hundred yuan per catty. One catty is worth 25 catties to them, it's so black-hearted!
Seeing the resentment of the crowd, the servants were very satisfied, and then said that the Lu family would come to collect the wine from their house later, if the Lu family asked the price, they would insist on the price of one or two catties, and if they accepted it, it would be fine. Buy it, if you don't accept it, hehe, let them go.

The old man had the same thoughts as everyone else before, thinking that the price of the Lu family spirits was really outrageously expensive, but after thinking about it, it was wrong, the high price set by others seemed to have nothing to do with them!
Why are they angry?The reason why they don't make money is all because of Yu Haojie!
Yu Haojie sold turbid wine to the Lu family and the Qin family at a price of 450 renminbi, earning a full 250 renminbi, but he did not increase the price for the farmers in Wangzhuang.

So even if he sells it at five taels of silver a catty, he will still give them two hundred cash!
The old man firmly believes in Yu Haojie's humanity!

Hearing this, Zhang Twelve understood Yu Haojie's intentions.

He deliberately asked the farmers to raise the price of the turbid wine by one or two silver a catty to ensure that they would not spend such an unreasonable amount of money to buy it. This can also explain why he didn't send the goods to the Lu family in time—it couldn't be delivered at all. !

The wine can't be collected, how can I send it?
Afterwards, he turned back and bought the wine at the price of [-] Wen, and then sat down with Lu Fujing to raise the price. After all, all the wine was in his hands, and if the Lu family wanted to sell it, they had to buy it from him.

This Yu Haojie's calculation is really good, and this person is really bad!
…………

"Old man, since this Yu Haojie defrauds farmers so much, and wants to cheat our Lu family, why not let our Lu family join hands with the farmers and buy wine directly from the farmers? The price is still 450 Wen. Here, in this way you can also earn money, and we don't have to suffer from Yu Haojie's anger, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Just like the slogan he heard in his previous life, on a certain second-hand car website, individual car owners directly sell their cars to individual buyers, and there is no middleman to make the difference!

Wouldn't this be more appropriate here?Yu Haojie, a middleman, not only earns the price difference, it is no different from stealing money!

Hearing this, the old man was also a little moved. He can earn more than 200 Wen per catty of wine, which is a lot of money for a year just selling wine, but he didn't know what he thought of, and sighed: "Oh, no! This village There are people surnamed Yu outside the village, so you can’t escape his eyes if you do this. And even if you leave with the wine, we won’t be able to leave, right? There will be no hope for this place in the future, wouldn’t that be bad?”

Zhang Twelve thought, it seems to be the case. As long as these farmers cultivate the land, Haojie has the power to control them. No wonder he can be so unscrupulous.

What method can be used to teach this Yu Haojie a lesson?Zhang Twelve frowned and thought about it.

…………

"Mr. Zhang, where did you learn the craft of making spirits? Did you really get it from the barbarians in Xiliang?"

After chatting with Zhang Twelve for so long, I also knew that he and Yu Haojie were not in the same way, so the old man became more polite to Zhang Twelve.

barbarian?

Zhang Twelve suddenly thought of a brilliant idea, and the bitter face just now relaxed instantly, but he still let the old man lie: "Old man, the specific craftsmanship is under the control of Mr. Lu, and I have never seen it Yes, but I heard the master said that he got it by accident, so I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

Zhang Twelve didn't have the habit of confessing his heart to anyone he met, so a small lie was justifiable.

Because Xiliang is located in a desert grassland, the faces of Xiliang people are still somewhat different from those of Datang people—the Xiliang people are a bit like a minority, so in the eyes of Datang people, those people are all barbarians, all of them foreigner.

But it was this "barbarian" that inspired Zhang Twelve, and a hole had already appeared in his mind—the hole he was going to dig for Yu Haojie, and it would depend on whether he would jump or not!

"Old man, since Yu Haojie is so careless, will he pay the money as usual when he comes to collect the wine? Or will he deliberately withhold and delay?"

Zhang Twelve asked a question that he was more concerned about.

"He dares! If the surname Yu dares to go back on his word later, hehe, I will definitely go to the Yamen to sue him to the end!"

It turned out that this old man surnamed Zhou had a son who worked in the Taizhou Yamen and was a head catcher. Every time Yu Haojie came to collect wine, the village would call him to be a witness, so how dare Yu Haojie play tricks?Those who are in business are most afraid of being an official!
Although the headhunter couldn't control the price of wine collected by Yu Haojie that week, he can still control the normal transactions!
Hearing this, Zhang Twelve was relieved.

"Old Zhou, I have an idea, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Oh? Mr. Zhang, I see you have a kind face, so I told you everything just now. If you have any good ideas, just say it."

So Zhang Twelve approached the old man and spoke softly.

The old man became more startled the more he listened, he took a breath when he heard the key point "hiss", looked at Zhang Twelve and thought in his heart: This young man, with a kind face, how could he come up with such a bad move?
Ha ha, but it's very refreshing to hear!

"Young master Zhang, are you serious?"

"really?"

"But how can we guarantee that Yu Haojie will be fooled?"

"This requires Mr. Zhou to cooperate with Xiaosheng to perform a scene. Whether it can be done or not depends on how well the play is performed!"

"Acting? But...how can this old man know how old he is?"

"No way? Then this silver..."

"Oh! Isn't it just acting, what's so difficult, I just act!"

As soon as money was mentioned, the old man immediately changed to another person, and said that he could not act. Why did Zhang Twelve not believe it!
　I'm watching a movie, so I'll update it first. . . .Don't wait to forget. . . .
