"That's right? It's so poor that it's hard to buy some brown rice!"

A woman echoed.

However, as Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan got closer, many people saw what they were carrying and the heavy bamboo baskets slung on Li Yuyan's arm.

"Kobayashi, what kind of treasure are you carrying?"

When Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan approached, the women surrounded him.

"Salt stone."

Lin Xiao replied lightly, and did not stop, but continued to rush home with Li Yuyan.

"Salt stone? That's a poisonous thing. What are you going to do when you carry this thing back?"

Ma Guihua followed Lin Xiao's steps and asked puzzledly while walking.

"Kobayashi, don't be confused. If you don't have salt, go to my aunt's house to get some. The salt stone is poisonous and you don't want to eat it. Do you know?"

"Yes, I have salt at home, so I can give it a little even for you."

The village women also followed Lin Xiao and the others while kindly persuading them.

When they arrived at Lin Xiao’s house, Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan piled salt stones in the yard. Only then did everyone find that there were salt stones of all ages in the yard.

"Kobayashi, you are..."

Ma Guihua was even more puzzled.

"My waist is not good, so I have to use these salt stones to heat it up."

Lin Xiao said casually, and then asked Li Yuyan to distribute the maltose he bought from the town to the village women.

"This...maltose?!"

"Kobayashi, are you getting rich? He actually invited us to eat maltose!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's amazing, we Kobayashi can't hide it!"

"I said, Kobayashi's wife, you are so lucky!"

No one teased Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan again, and they all looked envious.

Maltose is made of wheat and glutinous rice. It is sweet and delicious, but it is extremely expensive.

It only costs a few dollars, and at least ten copper plates are required to buy it.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao was willing to buy it back and gave it to everyone to eat.

Is this a fortune?

"Kobayashi, you..."

"It's getting late, everyone should go back. The couple still have to do something!"

Ma Guihua wanted to ask Lin Xiao where the spare money came from, but was interrupted by Lin Xiao.

When the village women heard Lin Xiao's words, they looked at each other meaningfully and left with tactfulness.

When Li Yuyan heard this, he felt a chill in his heart.

"Hehe, don't mind. If they don't say that, they won't leave obediently. It would be bad if we delay our salt making plan!"

Lin Xiao smiled embarrassedly.

...

After working until midnight, the two of them made twelve kilograms of salt.

"Yu Yan, you must keep the method of salt making confidential, do you know?"

Lin Xiao looked at Li Yuyan's skillful filling of salt and said.

"This is a secret recipe. Even if the knife is placed on my neck, I won't say it."

As long as the sales are opened, this kind of salt that is higher in quality than tribute salt will definitely be sold well!

By then, let alone hiring an assassination, even the funds to clear the monarch will be more than enough!

Li Yuyan turned around with a secret recipe for salt making. How could he tell others?!

The next morning, the two of them delivered the ten kilograms of salt needed by the shopkeeper of Jiuzhou Town and got five hundred copper plates, which is half a pile of money.

Many farmers who dig food in the fields work hard for a year but cannot save half of their money.

Now, in less than a day, I made half a piece of money, which made Li Yuyan feel that the time for revenge is getting closer and closer to him.

At this time, his heart was no longer afraid and confusion about the future, but was full of hope and yearning.

Like yesterday, the two of them each had a bowl of big meat noodles.

Then Lin Xiao pulled a few feet of cloth and some dried fruit snacks and asked Li Yuyan to take her to Zhoujia Village.

There is not enough charcoal.

Zhoujia Village is closer than Linjia Village where Lin Xiao is located. The two of them rushed to Zhoujia Village in the afternoon.

Li Xiangmei was rummaging and drying the fish she caught from the river a few days ago, while her man Zhou Dajun sat aside to burn firewood and make charcoal.

"Sister Xiangmei!"

As soon as Li Yuyan entered the door, he went forward and shouted calmly.

When Li Xiangmei saw the visitor, she was startled and then squeezed out an embarrassing smile: "Miss Yu Yan, why are you... you here?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Dajun immediately jumped up from the chair and stood at attention respectfully.

Why do these two couples feel afraid of Li Yuyan (Li Yuyan)?

Lin Xiao was puzzled.

"My boss said that your charcoal is good, so I came here to buy some more."

Li Yuyan said calmly, there was no emotional fluctuation on his serious face.

At first glance, it doesn’t seem like I’m here to buy things, but it seems like I’m here to collect tribute.

Hearing this, Li Xiangmei didn't say anything, walked straight to Zhou Dajun and whispered a few words.

Zhou Dajun glanced at Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan, turned around and walked into the inner room.

After a while, Zhou Dajun came out with a slightly larger bamboo basket filled with charcoal and pancakes.

"Miss Yu Yan, there is nothing delicious at home, just this little pancake is left, you can take it all!"

Li Xiangmei said.

She felt that Li Yuyan's words just now were just a decent word for borrowing food.

She has never been to their family. She is so poor that she can't afford to buy charcoal?

Besides, there was a lot of charcoal I sent two days ago and I couldn’t use it for a while. How could I come here to buy it again?

When Lin Xiao saw the pancakes in the basket, he suddenly realized that Li Xiangmei was misunderstandings. He hurriedly took out twenty copper plates from the basket that Li Yuyan carried and put them in Li Xiangmei's hand.

"Sister Xiangmei, are twenty copper plates enough?"

Li Xiangmei and Zhou Dajun looked at each other incredibly, and they were shocked.

"This money..."

"I earned this money!"

Faced with the doubts of Li Xiangmei and his wife, Lin Xiao continued proudly:

"I made the salt, and it was whiter and more delicate than tribute salt. The shopkeeper of the grain and oil store in Jiuzhou Town suddenly asked for ten kilograms!"

Hearing this, Li Xiangmei and Zhou Dajun made great changes to the thin scholar who could not hold his hands and shoulders in front of him.

Who said that a scholar is useless?

Knowledge is power!

"Yu Yan, give you a pound of salt to taste for Sister Xiangmei."

Zhou Dajun and Li Xiangmei looked at the white salt in front of them, and their eyes were straightened!

If you taste it briefly, it will be a purely salty and fresh taste, without the bitter taste of coarse salt.

Good salt!

"This...it's too expensive, I can't ask for it."

The price of such good salt must not be cheap. Li Xiangmei and his wife do not want to take advantage of Li Yuyan, and they dare not take advantage of it.

As Li Yuyan's personal guard, they both belonged to him!

"Sister Xiangmei, just take it! You brought us charcoal and pancakes to solve our urgent needs. This is our little concern."

"Xiangmei, since Brother Lin has spoken, you can accept it!"

Zhou Dajun saw Li Yuyan's wink and immediately understood what he meant, so he said to Li Xiangmei.

Li Xiangmei realized this and pretended to be distorted and took the salt away.

"Brother Lin, I finally came here. Don't leave tonight. Let's get together."

I have heard a story about this, saying that there is someone who is disobedient when eating and inserted chopsticks on the rice, just like a kind of incense, and then he went to do his business.

After a while, he came back to continue eating after finishing his work. However, halfway through the meal, he felt something was wrong all over his body and felt very uncomfortable. Later...
