Li Captou looked at Yang Xuan and gasped, thinking that this guy is really ruthless. The pickles in those sauce jars are clearly the pickles that ordinary people eat at home. When he said this, the value of this guy is incredible.
It's hard to say.
Wei Ji Xian Noodle House is now well-known in Yingtianfu, and their fried noodles with soybean paste make many dignitaries flock to it.
So far, no one has been able to imitate this fried noodles, it is an exclusive secret recipe.
There are a dozen or so calf-high jars here, if they contain the sauce for fried noodles...
"You're talking nonsense. This is obviously a homemade pickle. You're talking about a secret sauce. Are you trying to blackmail us?"
Zhou Lian'er's reaction was not slow, and she immediately figured out the key to the problem, but at this moment, her words didn't count.
Yang Xuan was too lazy to respond to his question, and just said with a sad look: "After all, she is my sister-in-law. I won't calculate it based on the price after marinating the sauce, I will calculate it based on the cost price. There are ten in total here."
The price I paid for the two jars and the materials in each jar was two hundred and twenty taels of silver, making a total of two thousand six hundred and forty taels of silver."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the whole courtyard took a breath.
"Such a dozen jars cost more than 2,600 taels of silver?"
"It's hard to say. Otherwise, why would other people's noodles be so expensive?"
"Should we bring some back later and make fried noodles to eat?"
The neighbors who were watching the excitement started talking about it, and the Zhou brothers and sisters were dumbfounded. It was more than 2,600 taels, and they couldn't afford to pay for it even if they went bankrupt.
"Nonsense, he's talking nonsense." Zhou Lian'er jumped up and said, "Why do you say it's just how much it's worth? I don't believe there's something so valuable in your secret sauce."
Yang Xuan spread his hands and said, "If you don't believe it, I can't help it. I can't tell you the recipe."
"Why can't you say that if you don't tell me the recipe, I won't believe that this jar is worth more than two hundred taels of silver."
"snort."
Yang Xuan sneered disdainfully: "Do you know how much my recipe is worth? Do you know how much my noodle shop earns every day? It's good that I didn't ask you to pay lost wages. With so many sauces, I have to re-purchase the raw materials.
How much time is wasted in re-marinating, and if it affects the business of my noodle shop, how much compensation will I have to pay?"
The crowd of onlookers exclaimed again, Yang Xuan is right, I have ruined so many sauces for you, if this delays the business, then the debt will not be settled.
Everyone sees how good the business of Weijixian Noodle House is. No matter when we go there, there are always people queuing up.
Even though it was early in the morning, people were already queuing up before the doors opened.
Some people even sell queue positions. The top ten spots in the queue can be sold for five cents. Even the farthest spots in the queue, as long as they are within the first hundred, will cost at least one penny.
When Yang Xuan said this, the Zhou brothers and sisters immediately panicked, but even if it was more than 2,600 taels of silver, they couldn't afford to pay it back.
The four brothers and sisters looked at each other, all dumbfounded. Who would have thought that some jars placed in the corner could be worth more than two thousand taels.
Zhou Lian'er looked around, and when she saw Yang Xiao standing silently aside, her eyes suddenly focused.
"Master, please say something. Master, please ask uncle to spare us this time."
Yang Xiao was a little at a loss at this time. Although these pickles were sent by Yang Xuan, he told him at the time that they were just home-made pickles.
But just now Yang Xuan swore that this was the secret sauce, so he couldn't undermine his brother.
He works as an errand at the Yamen Gate, so he naturally knows the key here. If he says these are ordinary pickles, wouldn't it mean that his brother is blackmailing people?
Yang Xuan saw his elder brother's embarrassed look, and was afraid that he would spill the beans, so he waved his hand to stop Yang Xiao: "Brother, you know that there are three shareholders in my noodle shop, and I don't have the final say on the money alone.
of."
Just kidding, I finally got this opportunity to take advantage of you, and how could I let it go so easily?
You were so happy when you scolded me just now. If I don't teach you a lesson, do you really think that we two brothers are easy to bully?
When Capt. Li on the side saw this situation, he knew it was time to speak for himself: "How about it, will you pay for it or not? If you don't pay for it, just come to the Yamen with me. When will you pay for these things?"
With the money, I will let you go home anytime."
"Sir, please have mercy."
The three brothers of the Zhou family quickly begged for mercy. They could not repay more than 2,600 taels of silver in their lifetime. However, they were not familiar with Yang Xuan. Apart from bowing to Capt. Li, they could only put their hope in Zhou Lian'er.
At this time, Zhou Lian'er was already communicating with tears: "Uncle, please spare me this time. It's my fault and I deserve to die. For the sake of your brother and Xuanxuan, please spare me this time."
Go back."
Originally, Yang Xuan wanted to hold on to her for a while, but when he heard her talking about Xuanxuan, he couldn't help but think of that cute little girl again. He hadn't seen her for several months and didn't know how she was doing.
Thinking of this, he still spoke, but he didn't pay attention to Zhou Lian'er. Instead, he cupped his hands towards Li Captou: "Sir, this money must be compensated, but if they are put in jail, there is nothing they can do.
It's not about making money to pay off the debt, otherwise, let them write an IOU and then slowly make money to pay off the debt."
Mr. Li nodded: "You are the master of suffering, so naturally you have the final say."
Soon, an IOU was written. It said what year, month and day, and for what reason, they owed Yang Xuan 2,640 taels of silver, and asked them to repay the debt on a monthly basis, and the debt would not be written off until death.
Then the three brothers of the Zhou family and Zhou Lian'er all signed and pledged their signatures, Yang Xuan also signed, and even Capt. Li signed as a witness.
This is official proof, and there will be evidence wherever you go to litigate in the future.
In fact, 80% of the Zhou brothers and sisters think that Yang Xuan is blackmailing them, but people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. If you don't sign, you can just go to jail.
In fact, there is a more ruthless method, but Li Captou didn't mention it, and Yang Xuan didn't mention it either.
If most people can't pay off their debts, the government will sell their property, and then sell the debtor's women into slavery, while the men will be directly conscripted into the army and sent to the vanguard camp as cannon fodder, and the debt can be wiped out.
But Zhou Lian'er and Yang Xiao are still husband and wife at the moment. If we really have to deal with it this way, wouldn't it involve her eldest brother as well?
After signing, all the Zhou brothers and sisters felt as if they were mourning for their heirs. With so much money, they may not be able to pay it off in their next life, let alone in this life.
After the excitement was over, people dispersed, and Capt. Li also waved his hand and left.
Just as the Zhou brothers and sisters were walking out of the door like zombies, Yang Xuan said from behind: "Sister-in-law, it is better to send Xuanxuan to the eldest brother first. I can consider reducing some of the money."
Hearing this, Zhou Lian'er nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, I will send Xuanxuan over tomorrow."
