"Yes, Xiao Congwen. You have to think clearly. It's only a few days before the Beginning of Autumn. The weather is hot and there's no way to bake bacon. Who would buy ten pounds of beef? If you can't finish it, won't mold grow?"
"Don't be so pretentious. This is two to three thousand kilograms of beef. You still don't know the purchasing power of the residents of Qingshan Town?"
Several giants tried to persuade him. After all, Ye Congwen's surname was Ye. Although he was small and weak, he seemed to be incompatible with the giants of the Huaye tribe. He was also his brother, and the blood relationship was still there. Naturally, he could not be treated the same as outsiders.
"I accept the wishes of all brothers and sisters, but Mudouya is my cousin, and I am her cousin. Even though she is only a few days old, I still have to protect her, right?
Besides, Mudouya was afraid that I would be bored, so she risked her life to come to this barren mountain to be with me, and I can’t let her be wronged."
Ye Congwen replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. The implication was that Mudouya is not related to you, but I am related to Ye Congwen and am my mother's cousin. If you target her, you are targeting me.
Ye Rulang became furious when he heard this. We have been talking for a long time and you can't even listen to a word? You are stubborn and stubborn. Are you still going to follow your father's old path? Will both father and son fall into the hands of the Wood Clan Paper Man?
?
Ye Rulang was not angry but smiled and said:
"Now that your wings have hardened and you have grown up, you can no longer listen to the words of our brothers and sisters. Anyway, since you want to protect the Mu people, I have to deal with business!
This pioneer cow is worth ten gold coins. For the sake of your surname Ye, I will count it at nine gold coins. I don’t care what method you two use to get it to Qingshan Town or Wanquan County to sell it. As long as you
Hand over nine gold coins and I will forget about it.
Otherwise, it will be deducted from your living expenses in the future until the amount is enough. Do you dare to agree?"
Douya suddenly grabbed Ye Congwen's arm and signaled him not to nod. After autumn, it will be a cold winter, and then thousands of miles of snow will fall and thousands of miles of ice will freeze. If there is not enough living expenses to buy rations and supplies, Ye Congwen will be hungry alone.
abdomen?
“It’s a deal!”
Ye Congbra promised confidently that if she didn't have enough money, she might pawn her mother's gold bracelets and rings. Anyway, she was destined to not get a wife in this state, and the family heirlooms would be useless after all, so it was better to use them to solve urgent needs.
"Ye picks flowers and leaves, you two quickly cut out the beef, take a few brothers and sisters to carry the beef to the wooden boat, and fight quickly, don't waste his time."
Ye Rulang ordered coldly, turned around and walked up the mountain. Hua Sihu glanced at Ye Congwen helplessly and followed him silently. Due to a bad start today, the plan to go home to celebrate could only be scrapped halfway.
People often have to go up the mountain to hunt another one, and head into the mountains dejectedly.
Ye Congwen knew that he was in big trouble today, but in order to appease the shivering pigeon sprouts, he had to pretend to be confident and help the giants carry the beef onto the wooden boat.
"Xiao Congwen, are you really sure you can earn nine gold coins back?"
Seeing Ye Rulang walking away, Ye Zhihua asked secretly, and the few giants who stayed to help also listened carefully.
"Mountain people have their own clever plans, and I never make uncertain bets! Brother Picking Flowers, Sister Feiye, just wait for my good news!"
Ye Congwen answered confidently, waved to everyone, and rowed quickly towards Qingshan Town with the pigeon sprouts.
The wooden boat left Tieta Village, and several small streams converged into a river. At first glance, it looked like sparkling blue waves, and it looked like it had been quiet for a long time. In fact, the undercurrent was surging, and the flow rate was astonishing. Ye Congwen took advantage of the momentum to increase his paddling strength, and the entire wooden boat seemed to be flying off the string.
The arrow, running wildly, broke through the water and went away.
"Brother Congwen, have you really found a way to buy ten gold coins? Can you tell me about it?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Pudou Sprout squatted at the stern of the boat to clean the tripe and intestines, and asked very curiously. Including the beef offal and the head, the total is only 3,000 kilograms. Even if it is sold at the highest price of fifteen cents per kilogram, it will only cost four gold coins if all are sold!
It's a pity that there are only three to four hundred households in Qingshan Town. The pioneer beef is too thick and the taste is far inferior to that of yellow beef. If you can sell it for ten cents a pound, it's pretty good.
"I have already thought of a way to sell all the beef. Don't say anything and let me think about the details."
Ye Congwen was rowing while thinking about the solution. As the saying goes, the wool comes from the sheep. If you want to sell out all the beef, you have to make a fuss about the group of animal trainers.
About two hours later, the wooden boat had arrived at its destination—Qingshan Town.
Qingshan Town is surrounded by mountains and lives by water. The mountains are rolling and green, so it is named Qingshan Town. It is backed by the Beast Mountain Range and is rich in wood, medicinal materials, animal skins and game.
Relying on this tributary of the Lishui River, you can quickly reach the county and state offices, and water transportation is extremely developed. Therefore, most residents of the town make a living on this, and they are more or less engaged in jobs such as sailors and porters.
As soon as Ye Congwen's wooden boat docked in a small harbor, a group of dark-skinned men in short shirts gathered around them and asked flatteringly:
"Brother Xiaowen, what good stuff did you get today? Do you want to ask some brothers for help?"
As the accountant of Tieta Village, Ye Congwen has naturally been remembered by these old people. After all, Tieta Village is the most powerful hunting village in Qingshan Town, and late autumn is the peak hunting period, so the strongest people are often sent there.
Hunting in the mountains. Only Ye Congwen, a little man, goes with the boat, and sometimes he also works as a boatman. At this time, the business of porters comes!
"Ouch! This is a big product, weighing three to four thousand kilograms. Tsk, tsk, tsk, the meat is very tender. I'm afraid it won't fetch a good price after a long time!"
Ye Congwen smiled noncommittally, looking like he was going to raise the price. When he heard that the pig bean sprouts could not be sold, he immediately became anxious. He had the demeanor of seeking medical treatment in a hurry, and asked with a worried face:
"We ran all the way without stopping. I didn't expect it was too late. What should I do? Uncle, are you saying the market has ended now?"
"Although the show hasn't ended yet, it will be over soon."
The black-faced man chatted leisurely and said in surprise:
"Whose little fairy is this? She looks so pretty. Why haven't I seen her before? Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
In the past, hearing such compliments would have excited Mudouya for a long time, but now he had no thoughts at all. Looking back at Ye Congwen, he asked anxiously:
"Brother Congwen, what should we do?"
Ye Congwen was considered a seasoned veteran, so how could he let these people succeed? He said calmly:
"There are three thousand kilograms in total, and they will all be picked up at the Tieta Village specialty store within half an hour. Those with less money and speed will come to the boat to talk. No idlers are allowed in."
"Brother Xiaowen, what kind of friendship do we have, why do we need to do this?"
The dark-faced man pulled Ye Congwen aside in a flattering manner and spoke softly.
"Twenty percent off! How about a 20% discount?" Seeing that Ye Congwen was unmoved, he begged with a grimace:
"Brother, you can't lower yourself any lower. Brothers haven't started work today, so you have to give them food, right?"
"Friendship, why didn't you talk about friendship when you tricked my sister just now? I think you have been eating on the dock for many years, and your eyesight is not that good, and your brain is not working well!
Take a good look at the emblem on the bow of this boat. How dare you, a person from Iron Tower Village, to raise the price? Believe it or not, I will ask you to pay back double the money you took today. Those big guys don’t have the patience to reason with you. If you don’t like it, throw it away.
You go down to the river to feed the king

eight."
"It makes sense, it makes sense. I drank a few mouthfuls of yellow soup with my brother at noon, and did stupid things on impulse, haha..."
Mudouya listened to the two people chattering for a long time, and finally understood the reason. After a long time, this black uncle was trying to trick him. He really thought that I was a rookie and could deceive him! He suddenly became furious and pulled Ye Congwen away. Seeing that the real owner was about to die.
After she let go, the young aunt started to make trouble again, and the black man was so anxious that he couldn't speak clearly:
"Brothers and brothers, if you have something to say, the business is all negotiated. If you are not satisfied with the price, you can still negotiate again?"
"You are dishonest and full of bad intentions. I don't want to deal with you."
Pigeon Sprout pouted his mouth and turned around to ask other porters to negotiate the price.
"Little brother, can I give you 30% off? This is the lowest price!"
"It's useless for you to tell me now. It was her brother who killed this pioneering bull, and she is the real owner."
Ye Congwen spread his hands and expressed that he could not help.
At this time, several waves of people had gathered around. Seeing that the situation was not good, the black man repeatedly promised:
"40% off, 40% off, the lowest discount in the whole pier. I'm wrong. Can't you think of it? Little girl, just think of the fact that it's not easy for me to earn a living, because I have an uncle with me. I
How about I kowtow to you here?"
"Uncle Hei, don't be like this, Uncle Hei, a child can't bear it!"
Ye Congwen hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, pondered for a moment, and then solemnly patted the black man on the shoulder as if he had made a great determination:
"I don't want to take advantage of you. We are all people who work hard to earn a living. Let's do this. You can pick and choose for me and advertise more. If they are all sold out, I will add 10% to you later.
How about buying you a drink?"
When the black man heard that the business was going well, and that there would be extra rewards for doing it well, he said in his heart that the little brother is a righteous man, why not just roar a few times, and treat it as an extra gift.
It's only half a mile from the pier to the market. With the strength of these pickers' legs, it takes about ten minutes to pick up a round trip. It is estimated that they can pick up three rounds in half an hour, with a load of 200 kilograms, which is more than enough for five people. Call me.
The four guys shouted:
"Be quick with your movements. Brother Ye said: Help with advertising along the way, and he will treat you to a drink later! By the way, how should I shout?"
Ye Congwen whispered a few words in Mudou Ya's ear, and then said to Hei Han:
"When the time comes, just shout after her."
"Okay!"
The black man quickly prepared ropes and poles and started working quickly.
Ye Congwen asked Mudouya to talk, took a key, and then ordered:
"You go and clean the shop first, and wait until all the beef is ready before selling it. I'll watch them pick things up, and I'll meet you later."
It was the first time that Mudouya was promoted to shopkeeper and opened a shop. He was so excited that his eyes were filled with expectant smiles. He was eager to give it a try. He rushed in front of everyone in three steps and two steps at a time. As soon as he landed, he shouted excitedly:
"Give it a try, give it a try, fresh pioneer beef, the only one in the town, unique, don't miss it if you pass by!"
The voice is like an oriole, gentle and melodious, attracting countless gazes.
"The Pioneer Wild Cow is unique! If you pass by, don't miss it!"
The five burly men roared, making the ears of others feel hot. The whole journey was lively, attracting children on the street to watch non-stop. The popularity seemed to be getting more and more popular. Ye Congwen looked at the rolling crowd, a little worried.
Thoughtfully:
"The pioneer bull is indeed a big fish. I wonder if we can use it to catch another group of big fish?"
