As soon as Huang Huai entered the house, the first thing he saw was Fatty Xu's fat body.

The other party sat behind the square table, facing the door of the house.

There was a square table in the middle of the room, with four pairs of bowls and chopsticks on the table. On the left and right of the square table and on the seats near the inside, there were three iron field owners, including Master Yang, Li Lidong and Fatty Xu.

He led Huang Huai into the house, Manager Xu said, "The boss, the two bosses, Huang Zhanglu has arrived."

Fatty Xu, who was facing the door of the house, nodded.

Manager Xu bowed and retreated from the house. When he went out, he put down the cotton curtain in front of the door and blocked the door.

There were Huang Huai, three owners of the iron farm and two servants standing aside to serve him.

"You don't need to be polite to Huang Zhanglu. There are no outsiders here, sit down and say." Yang Dongzhu sat in his seat and waved to Huang Huai. "They are all wines and dishes delivered from Yanbinlou. Huang Zhanglu must have not eaten it. Sit down and taste it to see if it suits your appetite."

The intimacy in the words did not mean to get up to greet him.

The other two iron field owners on the table sat in their seats and looked at Huang Huai up and down.

This was also the first time they had met Huang Huai.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Huang Huai swallowed and said humbly: "The three owners are here, so there is no seat for villains."

"Haha, you Huang Huai are also the number one person in Dongshan, so there is no need to be modest." Yang Dongzhu said with a smile, but he did not mention the words of letting Huang Huai sit down. He was just polite before.

They are all the owners of the famous Da Iron Field in Dongshan. Huang Huai is just a small palm stove. He used to be a lowly miner, so he was not qualified to eat with them.

Huang Huai also knew this and smiled at him, "It's all luck, so I can't praise Yang Dongzhu like this."

He knew what was going on with him. He just started to improve the ironmaking technology. The main reason was that his boss knew a lot and taught him.

Fatty Xu, who was sitting opposite Huang Huai, spoke, "I called you here for the purpose of charcoal iron making for your iron field. Let's give a price!"

"This..." Huang Huai didn't respond for a while.

Fatty Xu picked up his eyelids and said lightly: "One hundred taels, hand over the technology of heat storage chamber and coke ironmaking."

One hundred taels are enough to buy a house with two inches in the city. If it were Huang Huai, who was still an ordinary miner, it would be enough to do it for decades without eating or drinking.

Even for him now, one hundred taels is a considerable fortune.

Huang Huai lowered his head and said nothing.

If it were the case, he would have agreed, but now his monthly salary is fifteen taels, and one hundred taels are just his salary for more than half a year.

Yang Dongzhu, who was sitting on the left, smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if the yellow palm furnace doesn't look down on one hundred taels of silver. If you want, you can come to my iron farm to make a palm furnace."

Huang Huai still had no words.

Li Lidong, who was sitting on the other side of the square table, said, "Okay, I don't make any money for a month. I'll go to your place to earn those three melons and two dates."

The ordinary palm furnaces in Dongshan Iron Farm are all worth two or five cents to three cents, but the Yang Family Iron Farm is famously stingy, and the wages of palm furnaces are only one or five cents.

"Fifteen taels of wages must be paid for by life." Fatty Xu suddenly spoke.

Huang Huai's heart trembled when he heard this.

The reason why he agreed to come to the Xu family with Han San was that he was afraid of the power of these three people in Dongshan, and the other was that Han San's words "Liu Dong is over," touched his always worried.

Yang Dongzhu said with a smile: "Huang Zhanglu should know what the boss behind him is. It is easy to get himself in with such a boss. It is a serious crime to win the bandits and behead them."

He raised his right hand and gestured around his neck.

Li Lidong, who was sitting opposite, picked up a chopstick of vegetables and said, "I heard that the government is preparing to suppress the bandits."

Yang Dongzhu responded, "Is this a matter or the order issued by the governor himself?"

"Our Lingqiu is not on the east side of Daliang Mountain, but there is only a group of bandits hidden on Hutouzhai Mountain." Li Lidong picked up the vegetables and put them in his mouth to chew them.

The conversation between the two fell into Huang Huai's ears, which scared him and his legs were trembling.

He stayed in the iron field of the bandits in Hutouzhai to work. Although the wages were high, he was always worried about the bandits. He lived a nervous life every day, worried that one day the government would send troops to suppress the bandits.

Fatty Xu picked up the wine glass, looked at Huang Huai and said, "One hundred taels can be used as a palm stove in any of our three families to ensure you have no worries. As long as you hand over the heat storage room and coke ironmaking technology."

Li Lidong and Yang Dongzhu stopped talking and turned to look at Huang Huai.

Huang Huai looked hesitant.

Although the palm furnace of Xu Li and Yang's three iron farms is not as high as that of the iron farm now, the victory is stable. He had agreed long ago, but now he is afraid that he will agree, so Hutou Village will send someone to chase him.

As the deputy manager of the Iron Field, he lived in Hutou Village for a few days. He knew better about the situation in Hutou Village than most people in Dongshan.

On Hutouzhai Mountain, there are no more than 400 bandits circulating outside, but there are more than 1,000 bandits. Among them, there is a bandit team that specializes in outside Hutouzhai. Not many people know about it, and they did the work of Dice Six.

He was worried that after he agreed to the three bosses in front of him, his body would be thrown into the iron field before he could get the money.

"I think there is little money?" Xu put down his wine glass and said, "Two hundred taels, as long as you hand over the heat storage room and coke ironmaking technology, we will ensure that you are safe and sound and will not be implicated by the bandits in Hutou Village."

Huang Huai rubbed his rough hands, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The proprietors, it's not that villains don't want to, but they really don't dare!"

Li Lidong's face sank and said, "What's there to dare? Could it be that they can eat you?"

Hearing this, Huang Huai smiled bitterly.

The three owners here are not stupid. They guessed what he was afraid of, but they didn't care about Huang Huai's life or death. What they wanted was the technology of heat storage chamber and coke ironmaking.

After a while, Huang Huai said humbly: "Can you give the villain some time and let the villain go back and think about it?"

The three bosses in front of him had too much energy in Dongshan, and he dared not offend him, but he was also afraid that one could kill him, and the other could kill him immediately.

Yang Dongzhu said with a smile: "Huang Zhanglu, it's not that we don't give you time to consider it. The government will send troops to suppress bandits at any time. If it's too late, we can't save you."

"The villain understands that he will definitely give the three owners a satisfactory answer tomorrow." Huang Huai looked humble.

Yang Dongzhu turned his head and looked at the other two people, then looked at Huang Huai and said, "Okay, it's better tomorrow, it's still here."

"That villain won't disturb the proprietors anymore." Huang Huai bowed to the three people in turn and retreated from the house.

Manager Xu, who was guarding outside the house, saw Huang Huai come out and personally sent Huang Huai away from the Xu family iron farm.

When he walked to the gate of the iron farm, Manager Xu said, "My Xu family's iron farm is missing a palm furnace. If you are interested in the yellow palm furnace, you can come. The wages are as high as the highest price of Dongshan palm furnace."

Of course, this does not include Liu Heng's iron field palm furnace.

Huang Huai didn't say anything, but just bowed to Manager Xu, turned around and left.

When she left, Huang Huai's face became paler and paler.

When he first heard such a big news, his safety was in danger. He needed to think carefully before making a decision, but the iron farm in Hutou Village must not be kept.
