The consumption in this place is surprisingly high, and I don't know how much money they will be charged for a cup of tea here.
Speaking of which, money is not a shortage for them.After all, they have cheated a lot of money before.
"Boss, bring a pot of tea." Bai Zhuo greeted the boss to serve tea without waiting to sit down.
After sitting down, Song Wuya turned his head and looked around. The people sitting here are definitely salt merchants.After all, no ordinary person would drink tea in this place.It's not that they look down on this place, but that they can't afford to drink it at all.Only people with money in their pockets like salt merchants can sit here and drink a few cups of tea without pain.
Soon the tea was brought over.
"Where did the two young masters come from?" The boss was obviously curious when he saw Song Wuya and the others, and asked while putting down the teapot.
Hearing this question, Song Wuya lowered his head and took a look, then he understood.The clothes the two of them wore were quite different from those of the salt merchants.Others are all silk and satin, their clothes definitely look a little plain.
"Oh! We came from the south." Bai Zhuo replied without thinking, but did not tell him that he came from Songjiang.
The tea boss nodded and smiled: "I don't know if it's the first time for you two to come to our Nantou County."
"Mmm! It's the first time I've come here." Bai Zhuo answered this question without thinking too much.
Asked here, the tea boss smiled again: "The little one has to make an agreement with the two young masters in advance. Our tea costs two taels of silver for a pot! If..."
It turned out that the tea owner saw that the two of them didn't look like salt merchants, and he didn't know whether he was worried that they had no money, or that after drinking the tea, they thought the price was too expensive and caused trouble here, so he said hello in advance .
"Oh! It's okay, drink as usual. We just ate steamed stuffed buns worth four taels of silver, so we know what's going on. Don't worry!" Bai Zhuo and Song Wuya couldn't help but feel amused, and casually yelled at the tea boss.
When the tea boss heard this, he felt relieved, and immediately bowed back: "Since this is the case, the two young masters will take it easy. The younger one is not because he looks down on others, but because he is afraid of conflicts afterwards."
"It's okay, it's okay. Boss, you are a kind person, so let me know. A few days ago, we ate a few buns, and asked us for four taels of silver, but we almost didn't let us beat the boss. Later Only then did I learn that this place is the market, and we are so rare and strange." Bai Zhuo smiled slightly and told the boss that they didn't think much about it.
Seeing the tea boss smiling and nodding, Song Wuya asked with a smile.
"Looking at this, I'm afraid this place often encounters such things?"
"Oh! It's not often. It's just that I encountered a little trouble a few days ago, so I don't want to cause any more trouble, so I explained it in advance." The tea boss immediately explained when Song Wuya asked about this matter.
Hearing these words, Song Wuya became curious instead.
"Oh? They're from out of town too? How many people are here? If there are too many people, I think it can knock down your shed, boss."
"Hey! Who said it wasn't!" It seemed that Song Wuya was right about the matter. When the tea boss heard Song Wuya's words, the expression on his face immediately became painful. "My lord, you are right. Just a few days ago, a few middle-aged men came here suddenly. After drinking a few pots of tea from me, when I paid the bill, I heard that it would cost ten taels of silver. I was beaten up, and finally my stall was smashed. The other party was so powerful that they ran away before the small reporter. Not to mention the money was not made, and I even lost a few tables and teapots. Hey! "
The tea owner's complaint made Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo laugh.
Unexpectedly, such a thing actually happened, Song Wuya looked at the painful expression on the face of the tea boss, and couldn't help but joked: "Why is the boss so distressed? You can earn a lot of money with this pot of tea, isn't it How many tables! Not enough!"
"Young master, what you said is wrong, why not."
Originally, Song Wuya was just joking, but he didn't expect the tea boss to be serious.
"Don't look at me charging you two taels of silver for this pot of tea, but do you know how much the monthly rent for my piece of land is? After calculation, this small pot of tea is a few pennies cheaper than other places. You can't make much money with more tea."
"Hiss!" This is really interesting, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo couldn't help taking a breath, they were very surprised.
Originally, they thought that judging by the clothes these small traders were wearing, they would make a lot of money.But from what the tea boss said, the reason why this place has such a high price is not at all that they want to take the opportunity to make a fortune, but that if they don't sell at this price, they really can't earn a contract .
The two looked at each other and frowned at the same time.
"So, everything in this place is decided by the government?" Song Wuya asked in surprise.
"It's about the same. Anyway, most of the land in this city belongs to the Niu family. Isn't even the government office owned by the Niu family? There's nothing wrong with that." The words of the tea boss verified Song Wuya's guess.
Originally, Song Wuya really didn't expect this.But looking at it now, it's not 01:30 who is rich in this Niu family, let alone private salt, even relying on the rent here, I'm afraid they can definitely earn as much as private salt.
Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo were shocked by the sudden knowledge of this matter.
Bai Zhuo looked at Song Wuya, and couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice: "Brother Wuya, isn't this Niu family too rich?"
"That's right! If you are rich enough, even if you don't do private salt business, you will definitely have more money than others!" Song Wuya nodded.
If this is the case, the Niu family's withdrawal from the private salt business will have an impact on them, but it will not be too great.
Thinking of this, Song Wuya couldn't help wondering whether his previous judgment was wrong.
That being the case, it is entirely possible for the Niu family to cooperate with Wuliangjiao and give all the dishes here to Wuliangjiao.
Suddenly, he sensed a problem.No wonder the Boundless Sect didn't take any action, maybe they don't need to do anything to this place, they can take it here.As for the death of the helmsman, perhaps it was the opportunity for the Niu family to leave the private salt business.If they cooperate with Wuliangjiao, then Wuliangjiao helps them kill someone, so what's the problem?
If it wasn't for the person who died suddenly yesterday, I'm afraid this matter would have ended in such a logical way.
"Both young masters, I'm going to get busy first, you guys take your time." The tea boss suddenly saw Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo lost in thought, and didn't know what was going on with them, so he said something with a smile, and then stepped back. up.
"Brother Wuya!"
"Brother Bai!"
After a moment of silence, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo unexpectedly spoke out at the same time.
Chapter 5 Cooperation
?5 Chapter Fourteen Cooperation
"Brother Wuya, you should talk first."
The two were embarrassed at the same time, Bai Zhuo said again immediately.
Song Wuya nodded and said, "Perhaps the Niu family told us on the surface that they have nothing to do with Wuliangjiao, but secretly they have negotiated terms with Wuliangjiao and started cooperation."
"Brother Wuya, it really is a hero who sees the same thing! Just now I suddenly thought of this possibility!" Bai Zhuo gave a thumbs up and praised Song Wuya.
This is a bit too much, after all, the two of them are not heroes.
"Today's tea is not in vain! The harvest is really not small!" Song Wuya nodded, and did not refute Bai Zhuo's words. He also noticed another thing just now. "The tea boss said before that a group of people smashed his shop here a few days ago. These people are also foreigners who came here for the first time, and it can be seen that these people are also arrogant, and it's fine if they don't give tea money , even dared to smash the shop."
"What's the matter! When we ate that bun for the first time, weren't we also very angry?" Bai Zhuo nodded.
The price here is something they never thought of.I'm afraid that many people in this world have never imagined that there would be such an expensive thing.
However, Bai Zhuo's words obviously didn't touch on what Song Wuya wanted to say.
"Brother Bai, that's not what I meant!" Song Wuya reminded immediately: "Didn't you see? When talking about this matter, the tea boss was very angry. And he even said he reported it. Official, but looking at him like this, I'm afraid the government didn't give him an answer to this matter. But I think these people are very problematic!"
"Very problematic? What's the problem?" Bai Zhuo was very surprised, he didn't understand what Song Wuya meant.
"If they were just ordinary passers-by, they would definitely not gather so many people. If they were businessmen, they would never cause trouble in strange places. But this group of people came here, but they still behaved like this. It can be seen that they He's not an ordinary person." Seeing that Bai Zhuo didn't understand what he said, Song Wuya explained it to him again.
When he said this, Bai Zhuo frowned and began to think.
Soon, Bai Zhuo came to a conclusion.With a look of joy on his face, he lowered his voice, almost mouthing to Song Wuya: "Brother Wuya, they shouldn't be from the Wuliang Sect, right?"
