Chapter 96 The Origin of Stone Bricks

"Senior Brother Yan, are you there?" Huang Yougui stood in the valley and shouted.

Immediately afterwards, a man came out of the cave not far away, and he responded, "Here you come."

"Senior Brother Yan, we will pull more stone bricks back today." Huang Yougui said, "I'm afraid that our master's family will become suspicious."

"Okay, you can just pull as much as you want. Anyway, you can just give me twenty cents a brick. I don't care about anything else. Remember, you have to deal with it well and don't implicate me." The man who came out of the cave said.

"Don't worry, senior brother, are you still worried about doing things?" Huang Yougui said, and then he started to get someone to load the car and pull the bricks back.

Ye Chuqiu watched them trade and listened to them talking, and thought to himself that it seemed that they were really a little tricky.

But she didn't say it, just took Lin Dahu home.

"Mom, didn't you say you wanted to catch them on the spot?" Lin Dahu asked.

"What benefits can I get when I catch them?" Ye Chuqiu asked back.

"The stone bricks they sold to us were worth fifty cents a piece."

Lin Dahu said: "If we catch them, we can buy these 20 cents bricks by ourselves."

"If you don't look at monks and Buddha's faces, you have to make some money by others."

Ye Chuqiu said, "For the sake of Brother Tiesheng, we cannot do this. Huang Yougui is the person in charge of our house construction. If he wants to do something tricky in it, even if we are supervising the worker, we may not be able to discover it."

"Then let's just let him go, don't care about anything?" Lin Dahu asked again.

"Mom will test him tomorrow to see if he is willing to tell the truth." Ye Chuqiu thought for a while and said.

"All right."

Lin Dahu also nodded. The mother and son quietly returned to their wooden house without disturbing anyone.

The next day, before Ye Chuqiu had time to show up with Huang Yougui, Huang Tiesheng came with good news.

"Brother Tiesheng, you are back." Ye Chuqiu was also surprised and happy when he saw Huang Tiesheng, "Is this trip going smoothly?"

"It went very smoothly." Huang Tiesheng smiled and said, "Let's go there and talk."

"Okay." Ye Chuqiu took him to the wooden house. Huang Tiesheng then took off the basket on his back and handed it to Ye Chuqiu. "Fortunately, the sea blue bead was sold for 500 taels of silver."

"Sold so much money."

Ye Chuqiu took some vegetables on the backpack aside and saw a large bag of silver wrapped in cloth. When she opened it, she saw that it was bright inside, all of which were full of silver.

"This time I was lucky. I happened to meet a wealthy man who was about to marry a daughter. This sea blue bead was sold to the rich man. He took advantage of his actions and bought a dowry for his daughter." Huang Tiesheng explained simply.

"very good."

Ye Chuqiu nodded, got up and took a pair of big tongs from the basket beside him. Huang Tiesheng said what she was going to do, but she picked up the big tongs in one hand and the silver in the other. With a muffled sound, she actually cut a ingot of silver in half.

"We agreed to do so, as long as the selling price exceeds 400 taels of silver, we will be 50 cents."

Ye Chuqiu looked up and said, then continued to cut the silver.

"Well……"

Huang Tiesheng has never seen this method of splitting the 55th. Didn’t they just divide the silver ingots? And what about it?

However, Ye Chuqiu's actions seemed to be correct.

The silver these days is not without fakes, and Ye Chuqiu is not good at verifying the authenticity of the silver in front of Huang Tiesheng, so he can only use this method.

She cut all the silver and saw it at a glance whether it was fake.

Of course, for others, it would take some effort to cut such a large ingot of silver, but this is nothing to Ye Chuqiu.

After cutting all the silver, Ye Chuqiu felt relieved. All the silver was real, and it was much whiter inside than outside. Ye Chuqiu used it to balance the pole and called it silver.

Her method of cutting silver was quite accurate, and the two sides of the silver were quite different. After the balance rod was roughly balanced, Ye Chuqiu poured out the silver on the other side, wrapped it in a cloth and handed it to Huang Tiesheng, "Brother Tiesheng, this is your share."

"Thank you."

Huang Tiesheng took the silver and opened it and saw that all the silver ingots cut in half by Ye Chuqiu, he couldn't help laughing.

He took two and a half ingots out of it and handed it to Ye Chuqiu, "Miss Lin, I just treat these two pieces of silver as I have congratulated you in advance. Congratulations on your move to your new home."

Ye Chuqiu took the silver, put it in front of him, and then took out two quick silver from his pile of silver, "You must have put a lot of effort into finding a buyer."

"Auntie Lin, I can't take this money. You have given me enough rewards." Huang Tiesheng quickly refused.

"You take it, we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future." Ye Chuqiu raised his eyebrows at him.

Huang Tiesheng's heart moved, "Madam Lin, do you still have a family treasure?"

“That’s natural.”

Ye Chuqiu didn't avoid him either. One reason was that the two had a deal and their trust was much deeper than before. Another reason, Ye Chuqiu just cut the silver, which could indirectly show him his muscles.

Maybe others can't see anything, but I believe Huang Tiesheng can see it.

If it were an ordinary person, how could he cut such a large silver ingot so easily without any effort?

"That……"

Huang Tiesheng's heart was thumping. He was just an escort in the escort agency. He used to follow the people in the escort agency and live a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife. However, as an ordinary escort, he actually couldn't make much money.

If you work hard in a year, you can earn about twenty taels of silver. If you eat, drink and chew in a year, you won’t have much left. Unless you are injured, the escort agency will pay more money.

Their affairs are just young people who don’t know how to behave. They think that the glory is just a glorious person. Good families will not marry their daughters, for fear that they would meet a bandit that day, lose their lives, and leave their daughters to be widowed.

Now, he just helped Ye Chuqiu sell a treasure and got more than 200 taels of silver. He couldn't even think about this harvest before.

If he helps her a few more trips and saves a sum of money, can he be able to retire and return home, buy dozens of acres of land at home, and live a peaceful life from now on?

"Next time you'll go on a ward, and tell me again."

Ye Chuqiu said: "The world is unstable these days, and people's hearts are also impetuous. Let's change the city and sell it again."

"Okay." Huang Tiesheng nodded. This time, his senses towards Ye Chuqiu were completely different.

The relationship between the two families is also one step closer because of the same interests.

"By the way, Brother Tiesheng, there is one more thing to bother you. It is your second uncle. He brought me a batch of stone bricks, but the stone bricks were a bit strange. I asked him, but he refused to say, please help me ask him where it came from and whether it would cause trouble."

"Okay." Huang Tiesheng nodded.

Ye Chuqiu took him to see the stone bricks outside again. When he saw the stone bricks, Huang Tiesheng narrowed his eyes. Others didn't know the origin of the stone bricks, but he knew it.
