Mrs. Fan looked at the old man with a shocked face, constantly guessing about his identity.
Just by brushing his face, he can make the inspection department leave on his own initiative. He must be a famous nobleman. You will know who he is as soon as he hears it.
If he is an ordinary nobleman, the lower-level inspection department may not know and recognize him.
When Lin Tailai talked to Qi Shaobao just now, he usually addressed him as "old hero" and did not reveal his identity directly.
Therefore, although Mrs. Fan and Xiaomei Huang heard the conversation between Lin Tailai and Qi Shaobao, they still did not know their specific identities.
I just vaguely heard the word "veteran" and so on, so I guessed that the old man might be a senior military attaché.
Then he saw the dozen salt sellers on the dock, all lying on the ground and kowtowing to the old man.
Qi Shaobao laughed and said: "I can't believe that I actually became a salt seller in my old age. When word spread, I thought I was very poor."
At this time, someone suddenly said: "The old general showed mercy to his old friends, acted righteously to save others, and did not hesitate to bear the blame. He is truly a hero of the world!
Even though the slave family has fallen into prostitution, they still know how to write the word loyalty!
I am willing to bid one hundred taels to buy all the old general's ten thousand kilograms of salt to praise the heroic act!"
Who is so eye-catching? Lin Tailai turned around and saw that it was the rather demon-looking Sun Lian Lian who was number 11 on the flower list.
Then he woke up again. Sun Lianlian followed them on the boat. He knew Qi Shaobao's identity, so his quick reaction was normal.
Huang Xiaomei also realized that this old man was definitely an extraordinary person, and immediately said:
“This batch of salt was originally purchased by the fish market, and the fish market has continued to buy it since then!
We cannot let the old general bear the blame for nothing just for the sake of morality!"
She still didn't know who the old man was, so she just followed Sun Lianlian and called him Old General.
Lady Fan was not to be outdone, and immediately said: "Those of us who live in the world, although we are often looked down upon by the world, must also put righteousness first!
We deeply admire the old general’s move! We and Yitang are willing to pay 300 taels to buy these 10,000 kilograms of salt to fulfill the old general’s kindness to our old friend!”
Lin Tailai looked at Mrs. Fan in shock, are you crazy?
You know, the price of 300 taels for 10,000 kilograms of private salt is already more expensive than the price of official salt in Jiangnan area!
Huang Xiaomei frowned. Despite her tough attitude, she didn't have much cash in her hand.
After all, the business has only just started for about twenty days. Although the future seems promising, there is not much accumulation yet.
I originally thought that the bidding would end here, but Sun Lianlian shouted again: "My family is willing to pay five hundred taels!"
Lin Tailai wanted to ask, Sun Ji, do you have that much savings? Do you mind making a risky investment in Iron Fist and Golden Whip?
After calling out the latest sky-high price, Sun Lianlian stared at Madam Fan without showing any signs of weakness.
If you dare to continue to increase the price, she will definitely follow through!
Lin Zuoguan could only lament that no matter who can reach the upper reaches of any industry, none of them can save fuel.
After Mrs. Fan thought about it, she didn't add any more. After all, being too high-profile might not be a good thing.
But Huang Xiaomei looked at Lin Tailai and reminded: "This is our money!"
This means that these ten thousand kilograms of salt are the business of our fish market. Why don’t you, the fake boss, say a few words at this time?
Only then did Lin Tailai remember that he was sitting in a fish market, and he quickly said to Qi Shaobao: "Old hero, you see, too high a price may not be a good thing.
The people at the dock were talkative and spread the word, saying that you were greedy for money and sold 10,000 kilograms of salt at a high price, which harmed your great reputation."
Qi Shaobao went against the grain and said: "The one with the highest price wins. Isn't that the basic principle of doing business?
Someone paid five hundred taels, why didn't you sell it? Just sell it to Sun Ji!"
For some reason, Lin Tailai seemed to hear a hint of vague resentment from these few words.
It's normal. Old heroes are also human beings, and they also have their emotions.
Sun Lianlian said happily: "The slave family does not carry so much money. We are willing to send someone back to the city to pick it up and send it directly to the old general's residence in Gusuyi."
She came with her own boat and had her own maids and followers.
He immediately returned to the boat and told a servant: "Go back to the city quickly and borrow five hundred taels of silver!"
The servant asked for instructions: "Who can I borrow it from?"
Sun Lianlian warned: “All the sisters I know can borrow it, please lend me twenty taels or thirty taels each!
The more creditors the better, and let my fellow sisters know why I borrowed money!"
The servant also understood and immediately returned to the city to take care of things.
Nothing seems to have changed inside or outside the city of Suzhou. Professor Lin's temporary absence has no impact on the surface.
In the Shangtang Street School Secretary's Office, Feng Shike was nervously discussing with Mr. Xu how to handle the elegant gathering.
During tea time, Manager Xu suddenly sighed: "Suzhou City is much quieter without Lin Tailai.
Sometimes I wonder, it’s really hard to say how much we will gain or lose by hiring such a restless literature professor.”
Just as Feng Shike was about to answer the call, someone suddenly walked into the school secretary's office and stood outside the front hall shouting: "Zhenzhou Li Jixuan is here to visit!"
This was one of the names that made Mr. Feng most sensitive. Immediately, Feng Shike blurted out: "What are you doing here!"
Li Jixuan entered the hall, "You can come, but I can't?"
As the two major representatives of rich and famous celebrities, they are one from Jiangbei and the other from Jiangnan. If they encounter an opportunity, they will definitely be head-to-head.
The reason is very simple. If among the new five sons, there really is a seat for a celebrity in the mixed circle, the two of them will be the most direct competitors.
That's why the two sides fought directly outside Gusu Yi last time.
Everyone who came was a guest, so Manager Xu could only ask Li Jixuan to take a seat first.
Li Jixuan said directly: "I want to hold an elegant gathering!"
Big business again! Manager Xu quickly asked: "What day is it?"
Li Jixuan replied: "I don't know yet!"
Manager Xu: "."
Could it be that you, Mr. Li, are here to entertain the family?
Li Jixuan pointed at Feng Shike and said: "But it must be the same day as my second brother Feng!"
Manager Xu knew it immediately, and it was obvious that tit for tat was going to happen.
But the fight between snipe and clam has nothing to do with him, it’s all business!
So Manager Xu asked again: "How many beauties are planned to be invited to attend? What level will they be?"
Li Jixuan replied: "I don't know either!"
If he hadn't known that Li Jixuan was also a rich man, Manager Xu would have really thought that Li Jixuan was here to amuse himself!
"But!" Li Jixuan pointed at Feng Shike as expected, "No matter who brother Feng invites, I will pay double the price!"
So Li Jixuan's idea was to do the work on the same day as Master Feng's gathering, and pay double the price to invite the same group of beauties!
This makes it difficult for Mr. Xu to answer. Out of business spirit, should he agree to the double price?
But Feng Shike, who was present, became angry, slapped the table and shouted: "Li Jixuan! Don't bully others too much!"
Although Mr. Feng screamed loudly, he felt a little guilty.
Because although the Feng family is rich, his personal disposable wealth cannot match that of Li Jixuan.
He, Feng Shike, was the second son of a concubine in the Feng family, and he had an elder brother who was the eldest son.
But Li Jixuan is the head of the Li family in Zhenzhou, and his personal disposable wealth is indeed greater than that of Feng Shike.
Li Jixuan couldn't help but laugh "haha": "Brother Feng, don't say unnecessary words, just increase the price if you have the guts!
If you don't accept it, you can do it!
Now that the iron fist and golden whip have been sent out of the city by you as a gift, can my Qinglian swordsmanship still scare you?"
Feng Shike clenched his fists: "."
Damn it! If you really have the ancestral stick skills that Lin Tailai said, why should you be afraid of this Qinglian swordsmanship!
Li Jixuan laughed more and more unbridled, "Every time I think of what you do, it's so ridiculous!
A master like Iron Fist and Golden Whip, but you didn't dare to stay by your side during the critical period. You just chased him away out of fear!
So, what's the difference between you and those stupid people who destroyed the Great Wall? If Lin Tai came here, how dare I come to make trouble?
Since your brother Feng no longer wants him, I will give him a big gift when he returns to the city!"
Feng Shike couldn't help but refute: "You can't even think about estrangement. I have already invited Lin Tailai to attend my gathering when he returns to the city!
Also, are you out of your mind and crazy? What kind of gift should you give him? Do you even care about the feelings of the old alliance leader Wang?"
Li Jixuan shook his head and said: "I guess I don't have much chance, just do whatever you want!
If you have money, you still can’t buy gold and jade? After I have a banquet with guests, I will be ready to switch to other schools to look for new opportunities!
Recently I heard that the three Yuan brothers in Huguang have established a sect, and they all look like masters!
As for the murky waters of the retro sect, Brother Feng, you can go out on your own!"
"Haha!" Feng Shike sneered a few times: "Li Jixuan, you are just spreading suspicion and trying to attack the east and the west. How can I be fooled by you?"
Li Jixuan: "."
There is a saying that the person who knows you best is always your opponent. Why did it fail here with Feng Laoer?
Gusuyi is the residence of the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the leader of the literary circle in Nanjing.
Wang Shizhen asked her son Wang Shisu: "After today's preparation, are you ready to meet Zhao Yongxian tomorrow night and to meet the three beauties of Jinling at the same time?"
Wang Shisu replied: "Everything is ready over there."
Wang Shizhen said again: "I'm asking you if you are ready?"
Wang Shisu lowered his head: "My son has insulted the family tradition, so I actually don't want to attend."
Wang Shizhen criticized: "You have inner demons! A small setback becomes your inner demon!"
By the way, where is that unexpected person named Lin Tailai now?"
Wang Shisu replied: "Senior Feng came to report before and sent him out of the city this morning."
Wang Shizhen sighed: "This meeting with Zhao Yongxian is very important, and will directly determine the pattern of the literary world in the next twenty years.
Even I feel a little uneasy inside, and I can't tolerate any surprises."
Wang Shisu echoed: "Yes, my father has mentioned Senior Zhao four times today, and it seems that he does care a little."
Wang Shizhen laughed dumbly: "There are so many? It seems that I am obsessed with it."
Wang Shisu answered honestly: "Actually, four times is not the maximum. In addition, my father also mentioned Lin Tailai five times."
Wang Shizhen: "."
Wang Shisu persuaded him in turn: "Father, please don't have inner demons!"
Wang Shizhen shouted: "From now on, no one is allowed to say Lin Tailai!"
Wang Shisu responded: "Yes! Never mention the word Lin Tailai again!"
