Chapter 8 The little bastard who collects debts

Zhou Dajun's thoughts naturally could not escape Lin Xiao's eyes. Lin Xiao did not refuse and agreed:

"It's better to obey your orders than respect, we're bothering you."

After Li Xiangmei's tinkering, the "souriful" dinner was served on the table.

Grilled river fish with salt, stir-fried wild vegetables, wild vegetables and small fish soup and pancakes, simple and single meat, one vegetable and one soup.

The dish was originally ordinary, but with the salt made by Lin Xiao, the taste of the dish was sublimated qualitatively.

Never tasted the food with fine salt. Zhou Dajun and Li Xiangmei feasted and didn't even have time to say anything.

It was not until they wiped out all the dishes on the table that they realized that they had been rude.

Originally, the two of them invited Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan to dinner. Who would have thought that the host would eliminate the food before the guests had eaten a few bites.

"Sorry, we can't help eating such a good salt dish for the first time."

Zhou Dajun scratched his head awkwardly and said.

"It's okay, you can add salt when cooking in the future. I'll have enough here!"

Lin Xiao patted his chest and said with a smile.

"Brother Lin, I don't know your salt...this salt..."

"I'm here today not just to buy charcoal, but most importantly, I want to cooperate with Brother Zhou to sell salt."

Seeing Zhou Dajun hesitating, Lin Xiao simply helped him make the words clear.

She had this intention and planned to find someone to cooperate with him to sell salt.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, selling private salt was not illegal.

However, the audience of Jiuzhou Town Grain and Oil Store is limited after all, so it is better to ask door-to-door with a shoulder pole.

When Zhou Dajun heard this, he was overjoyed: "Brother Lin, do you think this is serious?"

"A gentleman's word is as good as a horse. In the future, I will make salt and sell it from door to door. We will make a profit of 46. How about me 46 and you 6?"

"No, I'm four and you six are fair. You make salt by your brain. I just need some physical effort when I go to sell it."

"Okay, that's it!"

In the Great Xia Dynasty, one pound was sixteen taels. Lin Xiao sold it to the grain and oil shop in the town at a price of fifty copper plates per pound. In order not to disrupt the market, the price she set should not be too low.

After a discussion among several people, the final price was three copper plates and one liang of salt, five copper plates and two liang of salt, buy one jin and get one liang.

After everything was settled, Li Xiangmei cleaned up the inner room and moved her and Zhou Dajun to the woodshed.

It is said that Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan are newlywed and there is no reason to live in a woodshed. Unlike them, they are old couples, they live anywhere.

In fact, the Ninth Prince is here, how dare they live in the inner room!

The dim candlelight swayed in the darkness, and the air was filled with a faint embarrassment and tension.

"Let's have a break soon, there are still major projects to be done tomorrow!"

The major project Lin Xiao mentioned refers to the fact that she wanted to give the dried fruit and snacks she bought in the town today to the village chief of Linjia Village, and ask him to help call on the villagers to move salt and stone under the cliff.

Moving a truck of salt and stone can get rewards for three copper plates.

In this way, she can put all her remaining energy into making salt.

Besides, wouldn’t it be better if the village chief also had an interest in selling salt?

The two of them were lying on the same bed for the first time. Lin Xiao, who mistakenly thought that Li Yuyan was his daughter, didn't care. He stuck a pillow and fell asleep.

However, Li Yuyan was tense all over and woke up, feeling very uncomfortable.

He got up just as dawned.

At this time, Li Xiangmei and Zhou Dajun were already waiting outside the gate in the courtyard.

As soon as he opened the door, the two saluted him respectfully.

"Nine Prince, your identity has not been exposed, right?"

Zhou Dajun limped forward and asked in a low voice.

"Not yet." Li Yuyan looked at Zhou Dajun's serious order and said, "If you want to find a way to sell the salt made by Lin Xiao, we will rely on it to take revenge!"

"Please rest assured that the Ninth Prince, my subordinates understand what to do."

...

After breakfast, Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan rushed back to Linjia Village with charcoal.

Li Yuyan went back to put charcoal, while Lin Xiao went to the village chief’s house with a bamboo basket.

He also gave dried fruit and snacks and salt, which made the village chief so happy that he couldn't stop.

"Kobayashi, just say anything you need to help."

"I need some labor to help me carry salt stones. I will give me three cents to a truck of salt stones."

"San?!"

The village chief’s wife Ma Guihua was so surprised that she couldn’t stop talking.

You can buy at least ten kilograms of miscellaneous grains for three cents!

Although not many, there are not many.

From this we can see how luxurious it was for Lin Xiao to exchange a small bag of brown rice and wild boar on the day of getting married!

"Kobayashi, where did you get so much money?"

The village chief looked up and down at Lin Xiao, the only scholar in the village, for fear that he would do something bad because of his temporary greed!

Lin Xiao, who had never wanted to hide it, told the truth and told her everything about her salt making.

The village chief and Ma Guihua were really shocked.

There is a golden house in the book, and the ancients did not deceive me!

"Kobayashi, my aunt has a relative in Jiuzhou City. Why don't I give you a helping hand and put the salt in the city and sell it. Then you can give me some hard work, what if?"

Lin Xiao didn't expect that Ma Guihua would be so straightforward. She admired such a straightforward personality very much.

"Aunt, do you think this is OK? I will supply you. If you sell the salt to the city, I will only charge a cost price. As for how much you sell, I won't ask you to get it. It's all yours."

Ma Guihua was so moved that she agreed without saying a word. In the end, she still reminded Lin Xiao that this good deal should not be known to others.

Lin Xiao gave the village chief fifteen copper coins and asked him to find someone to pull four carts of salt stone to her house. The remaining two copper coins were the hard work for the village chief.

As the saying goes, the village chief who eats people's soft mouths, takes their hands short, and collects money is full of energy. He quickly calls out a group of laborers to push the cart to the bottom of the abyss.

Lin Xiao had just arrived home and before he could take a sip of water, a sharp sound came from the door:

"Lin Xiao, you sissy, get out of here!"

I saw Wang Le, the rogue, walk into the yard in one step.

A pair of small eyes with stinged eyebrows and mouse eyes looked at the objects in the yard.

Li Yuyan stared at Wang Le coldly, his eyes full of cunning chill.

Lin Xiao said coldly: "What are you here to do?!"

"Your mother asked me before that I had borrowed thirty copper coins. I saw that you orphans and widows were pitiful and didn't urge you to pay off your debts. But now, I married a wife and had more mouths at home. I had to come over to collect your debts from you, which was a helpless move."

Wang Le pulled a chair and sat in the yard, looking like the head of the house.

"Have you seen what thirty copper plates look like?"

Lin Xiao just found it ridiculous.

If these words were said from others, they might be somewhat credible, but it would be extremely ridiculous to say them from Wang Le.

His family was a foreigner who moved to Linjia Village from outside. His parents were quite diligent, but for some reason they gave birth to such a prodigal son!

After Wang Le's parents passed away, he drank alcohol and had fun every day, became addicted to gambling, and he could do everything at home.

After the last time, he felt more and more uncomfortable, couldn't even eat, and was drowsy.

So I went to bed.

In his sleep, he dreamed of his deceased grandfather, and there were several elderly people he didn't know behind him.

When grandpa saw him, he called him unfilial, saying that he had invited them back for dinner. He had just started eating for a while and he showed off his own meal. He was so unfilial!

Therefore, I gave him a little bit of pain and had a long memory!
