I thought Gong Zihong would be displeased at being looked down upon, but unexpectedly he smiled heartily and said: "Are you surprised? Yes, I just like to see your expressions like this. You think I am just a big-headed soldier, but in fact I am
Rich man with a lot of money, the more you look down on me, the more this can only prove that I am successful."
As he spoke, others were stunned for a moment.
There seems to be something unusual about this person.
If you really want to explain it, this should be a mentality of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
Such an explanation seems to be normal. After all, such a mentality is not uncommon.
Licking his lips, Gong Zihong said: "Take out all the tiger meat and bones you have. I want them all. Money is not an issue."
Tiger meat and bones are naturally available, but Nanshan Village is not willing to eat these precious things.
He also took out the tiger meat and bones hidden in the bullock cart.
Tiger meat and bones are all marinated so that they can be preserved for a long time.
"Okay, okay." You can tell how happy Gong Zihong is by saying "good" three times in a row.
"Tiger skin, tiger meat and tiger bones, just these three things, I will give you a hundred taels, how about it?"
One hundred taels? Sun Yaozu was excited, and others were also shocked.
I knew that tigers were full of treasures, but I didn't know that tigers could be so valuable.
After all, tigers are not always available, so there is no fixed price. Even if you want to inquire, there is nowhere to inquire.
What is the concept of one hundred taels?
In Nanshan Village now, if you have one hundred taels, you will have enough food for half a month. If you save some food, it will be enough for a month.
With these one hundred taels, it is undoubtedly Nanshan Village's life-saving money.
"Thank you, Master Bing, thank you, Master Bing." Sun Yaozu thanked him hurriedly.
Shopkeeper Zhang on the side was jealous. One hundred taels. If the tiger skin fell into his hands, how much money could he make in the meantime?
However, shopkeeper Zhang later discovered that he was interested in something. There were still many things on the oxcart, which were laid on the bottom layer of the oxcart. They were some wild boar furs, mountain rabbit furs, mountain rat furs...
…
Judging from the appearance, the quality of these furs is quite high.
"Are you selling these furs?" Shopkeeper Zhang said.
Of course, they have to be sold. These furs were obtained from hunting by Qin's Women's Army. To be more precise, most of them were the result of Qin Qi'er's work. For example, Qin Qi'er killed the tiger by himself.
Gong Zihong also saw other furs. After taking one look, he couldn't take his eyes away.
There's a lot of fur here.
One tiger skin is shocking enough, but there are so many furs.
A tiger, with so much fur, has really extraordinary hunting skills.
Shopkeeper Zhang was looking at superficial things, but Gong Zihong was looking at something different. He was a soldier, and the other was a capable soldier.
From the tiger skin to other furs, he could see some clues.
Except for a few furs that are seriously damaged, the other furs are in very good condition.
The fur is kept intact to the greatest extent. In other words, the method of killing these beasts is so simple that the fur is not damaged.
Just like the tiger skin, there is no damage anywhere on the tiger skin.
So how was this tiger killed?
Among them, there are definitely skilled hunters.
This got him interested,
Gong Zihong couldn't help but have an idea in his mind. He needed to get to know this group of people well.
Shopkeeper Zhang intends to buy other furs, and Sun Yaozu also intends to sell them. They started a price discussion, and Gong Zihong spoke up at this time.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, please don't blackmail me. I think these furs are good, but I have to give them a fair price." Gong Zihong said.
Shopkeeper Zhang gritted his teeth with hatred after hearing this.
Hupi didn't make any money for himself, but now he still cares about doing business with others.
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of Sun Yaozu's lack of knowledge and make a fortune, but Gong Zihong interfered.
Sun Yaozu didn't know the world, but Gong Zihong was different. Moreover, he had already said that if he went too far, he would not give him face.
Shopkeeper Zhang smiled, but his smile was a little stiff, "What are you talking about, Mr. Bing? Xingchanglong's business philosophy is to clearly state the true price, and to be fair and honest."
Gong Zihong: "That's the best."
Everyone knew that Gong Zihong was speaking for him, thinking that he was interested in selling tiger skins.
But his next sentence was: "I don't know who the tiger-fighting hero is, but is he there so that I can get to know him?"
It was quiet for a while, and Sun Yaozu hesitated before saying: "The village organized a hunting team, and we all killed the tiger together."
Gong Zihong shook his head and said: "You are dishonest. If there are so many people, how can this tiger skin be a complete piece? It is obvious that someone killed the tiger cleanly in a short time."
When he said this, Gong Zihong's momentum naturally rose, as if he was involved in his own professional field, leaving no room for refutation.
"This..." Sun Yaozu was at a loss for a moment.
A man stood up at this time and said: "I killed the tiger."
The person who spoke was none other than Qin Qier.
Seeing that Gong Zihong wanted to get to the bottom of it, but couldn't fool him, he simply stood up and admitted it.
Only then did Gong Zihong notice Qin Qi'er. After looking at it for a while, he smiled and said, "You said you killed the tiger?"
"That's right, I was the one who killed him." Qin Qier said.
Gong Zihong shook his head, "I don't believe it."
In his eyes, Qin Qi'er was not good enough to kill the tiger.
It's no wonder what he thinks. With Qin Qier's dark and thin appearance, no one believes that she has the ability to kill a tiger.
In fact, if you really want to talk about it, this is indeed a fact. If Qin Qi'er didn't have the crossbow made by Pei Yun, he really wouldn't be able to kill the tiger.
Hearing what Gong Zihong said, Qin Qier didn't know what to say. She admitted it, but the other party didn't believe it. What could she do?
Gong Zihong glanced at the other people's faces and saw that they had no intention of speaking. He chuckled and said, "Don't you want to say anything? Don't worry, I have plenty of spare time. I forgot to ask, which village are you from?
.”
"From Nanshan Village." Sun Yaozu said.
"I've remembered it. I'll go and take a look at some time to see what kind of extraordinary figure the tiger-fighting hero of Nanshan Village is."
Sun Yaozu couldn't answer these words and could only laugh.
Isn't the great tiger-fighting hero of Nanshan Village Qin Qi'er? People stood in front of you and admitted to you, but you didn't take it seriously.
Since Gong Zihong doesn't believe it, let him just keep making mistakes. This is not a bad thing anyway.
I don’t know why he is so keen on the tiger-fighting hero. When he really goes to Nanshan Village and understands the facts, he will have nothing to face. He is not lying. It’s no wonder that you don’t believe it.
People.
After selling the other furs to shopkeeper Zhang, they actually paid five taels of silver.
Among them, the fur is indeed good, and Gong Zihong also plays a role.
And Gong Zihong also gave him the one hundred taels he said, so he took out one hundred taels of silver from his pocket.
You can carry one hundred taels of silver with you. What kind of strength is this?
Gong Zihong didn't stay much longer. After paying for the things he bought, he planned to leave.
"Wait a minute." One person said, it was Pei Yun.
"Is there anything else?" Gong Zihong looked at Pei Yun, and then felt surprised. Why didn't he notice this man just now? Just for his appearance, this man shouldn't look like an ordinary person.
"I have a business I want to discuss with you," Pei Yundao said.
"Business? Is there any other trade?" Gong Zihong suddenly became interested, thinking that there was something hidden.
"The things over there, I want to sell them to you." Pei Yun pointed to the baskets of briquettes.
Gong Zihong was instantly disappointed. He had seen these black things early in the morning, and they were nothing superficial at all.
He actually said that he wanted to sell these things to himself. Why did he buy them for himself? But what did the other party say? He couldn't see the dark things, so he walked over out of curiosity and picked up one.
As soon as he picked it up, Gong Zihong recognized it, "This is coal."
"Yes, coal. In my place, it has another name, called briquettes. I just heard you say that you are purchasing coal for the Army and Horses Division. The Army and Horses Division needs coal, so I plan to buy them.
Sell it to you."
"What you said is right, but why should I buy it from you?" Gong Zihong said with a playful expression.
You just want to sell something to the Military and Horse Division for no reason. In the past, people didn't know how much connections you needed to rely on in situations like this. Now, you just say that you want to sell coal to the Military and Horse Division. This is too naive.
"My basis is that this briquette is better to use than coal, and the price only requires coal and a price."
Gong Zihong said: "Is this thing useful for coal?"
"If there is any falsehood, I will compensate you a hundred for every falsehood." Pei Yundao said.
Hearing what Pei Yun said, Gong Zihong was really surprised. It was impossible for Pei Yun to lie to him unless he was desperate for his life.
If there is any falsehood, you will pay a hundred for every falsehood. If you dare to say this, you naturally have confidence.
If this thing called briquettes is really better than coal and the price is the same as coal, we can indeed talk about this business.
Gong Zihong originally treated the group of people differently. He first sold the tiger skin to himself, and then there was a tiger-fighting hero that he was interested in. It was not impossible to sell the honeycomb briquettes to the Army and Horses Division. As the weather was getting colder, it was time to buy it.
Coal.
"Okay, I want all of this. The price of coal is one penny per pound."
In this way, the briquettes were sold.
This time, the briquettes brought weighed three to four thousand kilograms, which converted into money was three to four taels of silver.
If compared to tiger skin, three or four taels of silver is a bit small.
But Tiger Skin only lasts once, and I don’t know if there will be a next time.
Briquettes, on the other hand, have been gaining momentum for a long time. Now that they have opened up the path to the Soldiers and Horses Division, as long as this goes on for a long time, it is foreseeable that the money they will make will only increase.
Three or four taels of silver is enough for Nanshan Village to need for one day.
The daily output of briquettes is more than three or four thousand kilograms.
