A man ran over with a child in his arms, followed by two men.
As soon as the young man saw it, he turned around and ran away, cursing: "Fei, if you don't do good things, you deserve to have your salt well in Feizhuang drained!"
When Erhu heard that he was a liar, Erhu was furious and wanted to chase him, but was stopped by Wang Yuan. He looked at the man and said, "How is the child? What does the doctor say?"
thump!
The man knelt down again and said, "Thank you for your concern, sir. The child is fine. The doctor has given me some medicine. He said he will be fine after three days."
"It's good that the child is okay!"
He picked up the man and touched the child's forehead. He felt that the fever had subsided. Wang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "I haven't asked you your name yet!"
"I don't dare. My surname is Fei, and my nickname is Niu Cao. Others call me Fei Niu!"
Fei Niu looked frightened and pointed at the two men beside him: "I am the boss of Lao Feizhuang, and this is my brother's manger and donkey trough!"
The two men grinned and lowered their heads in embarrassment!

Children in the countryside tend to die young and are usually given nicknames because they think it will be easier to support them!
Wang Yuan said in surprise: "I heard that all the people in Fei Cang are extremely rich. How did you end up like this!"
Hu Mengying and Wang Zhonglou also became curious, how could Jia Tou be so miserable that he couldn't even get out ten taels of silver!
"Brother Yuan, there's something I didn't have time to tell you!"
Fei Niu smiled bitterly: "It doesn't count as harvesting. There is very little brine now, and the salt produced is not enough for the government. I am the leader and bear a lot of taxes, so I am not as good as an ordinary kitchen household!"
"Has it been harvested?"
Wang Yuan asked in surprise: "How deep is your salt well now?"
Fei Niu said honestly: "Twenty-three feet!"
Wang Yuan frowned: "Then why not dig deeper!"
Fei Niu smiled bitterly and said: "Young master, you don't know. The rocks below twenty feet are extremely hard. We, the seven brothers of the Fei family, took turns mining for three years before we mined to a depth of three feet. Our family also had to pay taxes for food and drink. We really didn't dare to put our efforts into it."
, put it all on digging salt wells!”
"It took three years to dig out three feet!"
Wang Yuan frowned in thought, then changed the subject and said, "I'm more interested in salt wells. I don't mind if I go take a look. Maybe I can find a way to dig the well!"
"Dig a well!"
Hu Mengying and Wang Zhonglou were shocked.
If you want to buy some salt and spend a little more money, why don’t you go to Zaohu’s home to dig a salt well?
"Sir, I heard that you are a salt merchant from Fu County. You came here to buy salt, but you were blocked by the Yang family, so you couldn't buy salt!"
Fei Niu sighed and said, "You have done me a great favor by saving my son. If the old Feizhuang salt well is not dry, even if the Yang family blocks it, I will decide how much salt is boiled and sold to you! But now, the salt well is almost mined."
Once it dries, there won’t be much salt left. You’d better stop wasting time and think of other ways!”
"Yes, sir!"
Hu Mengying advised softly: "Drilling salt wells will not happen overnight. Let's think of other ways. If it doesn't work, we will continue to increase the price!"
"Yes, Uncle Yuan!"
Wang Zhonglou also advised earnestly: "We are just here to buy salt. We don't have to go to the village to dig a salt well. This job is really too big!"
Dahu, Wang Sihai and the others looked on, but no one tried to persuade him!
As long as Wang Yuan said to dig a well, they would dig it immediately without blinking an eye!
Wang Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Just take a look. If there is nothing we can do, let's come back!"
Hu Mengying smiled bitterly, she could tell that Wang Yuan had a bad temper, and no one could persuade him to do what he was sure about!
Wang Zhonglou pursed his lips and gave a thumbs up: Uncle Yuan is a ruthless man. If you don’t sell me salt, I will dig a salt well!
Wang Yuan turned around and said: "Sihai, go buy some rice, noodles, wine and vegetables!"
"Sir, no need!"
Fei Niu quickly stopped him: "You are the benefactor of the old Fei family. We should entertain you when you go. You don't need to buy anything! Manger, donkey trough, go back and tell your sister-in-law that there are distinguished guests coming. Kill the old hen at home."
Got it!"
The two men turned around and ran away. Wang Yuan winked, and Dahu and Erhu caught them.
