Chapter 521: Saying Harsh Words to Each Other, Duke Pang of Xianshan
Chapter 521: Harsh words exchanged, Mr. Pang of Xianshan
Some people laughed at him, some were disappointed, and some even thought that Yi Xiaotian was making false propaganda.
In the coarse salt business, in fact, given the material level of Xiangyang, few people would buy it.
In other words, the people who can live in Xiangyang City are, to say the least, wealthy families.
No matter what kind of business they do, if they have a little money and are aware of the dangers of coarse salt, no matter how poor their families are, they will definitely buy green salt from the salt shops of Xi Zhang Wang Luo and Cai Ma.
Needless to say, those aristocratic families, wealthy businessmen, and their families obviously only use the fine salt produced by the Cai and Ma families.
So, does coarse salt really have no benefits at all?
This is not really——
From the sign placed behind Yi Xiaotian, everyone can actually get a glimpse of it——
"One stone of coarse salt, fifty cents."
"One stone of green salt, two hundred coins."
"One stone of refined salt is worth one thousand yuan."
The price of one stone of refined salt can buy twenty stones of coarse salt. This is the only price advantage of coarse salt... But who would be so short of salt that they would buy twenty stones of coarse salt that is difficult to eat?
The price is clearly marked on the sign, and there is a salt shop waiting for some smugglers with private salt in their hands to sell salt.
Different from the affordable salt sold by the government, if you go to the north, with Cao Cao's checks and balances, few people dare to sell private salt without authorization. The affordable salt is at least 20% to 30% cheaper than the salt price in Xiangyang.
Therefore, the price given by Yi Xiaotian can be said to be fair.
Even the Ma family and the Cai family, the refined salt they sell is not much different from the price charged by Yi Xiaotian.
But price aside, Yi Xiaotian has no refined salt or green salt at all. This is what makes Li Yue dumbfounded.
"How pitiful, Master Yi..."
"If you don't want to lose face, I advise you to close the shop as soon as possible..."
"If you persist in your stubbornness, there will be a place for you to cry tomorrow."
Li Yue suddenly stopped smiling, looked at the leisurely and contented Yi Xiaotian with cold eyes, and muttered: I made you laugh...
He has already thought about it, because of what Yi Xiaotian has done before, no matter how stupid Yi Xiaotian is in running the salt shop now, he does not intend to let Yi Xiaotian take advantage of it.
In imagination, Yi Xiaotian is very likely to plan to purchase a large amount of refined salt and green salt from some private traders and resell it at a slightly higher price... But with such a cost, how can it be possible to compare with owning Fanshan and Xiangshan, which are rich in refined salt?
What about the fight between the Ma family and the Cai family in Dashan?
Even in the case of Qingyan, Yi Xiaotian realized the odds of winning - as long as the family alliance united and lowered the price slightly, it would be enough for Yi Xiaotian to lose all his money.
But that’s not enough…
But Yi Xiaotian didn't seem to panic at all. He put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth in front of Li Yue, muttering in his mouth:
"Then I really want to see how you make me, Yi, lose face, or that sentence..."
"If there is nothing else, please go back. Otherwise, when my waiter comes, what will happen if I can't protect you all..."
Yi Xiaotian smiled and pointed behind him. Li Yue looked over his shoulder and looked into the distance. At that moment, he had no idea of staying any longer.
"You, you, you... just wait for me, tomorrow... just tomorrow! Yi Xiaotian! You will cry tomorrow!"
Li Yue, who spoke unforgivingly, seemed to have seen some kind of monster, walking like the wind, staggering two or three steps at a trot, and left in despair with his men and horses.
After Li Yue left, Yi Xiaotian just smiled and shook his head, because two familiar voices came from behind.
A thunderous shout came from afar:
"Damn it, why did you run away like this!"
"Hmph! If this kid leaves a little later, I don't mind letting him have a taste of my fists again!"
Le Jin and Xu Chu came over cursing, pointing at the dingy backs of Li Yue and others and shouting like this. Even though Li Yue had already walked far away, they could not help but feel a chill in their backs.
"Rude! So rude!"
Despite this rebuke, Li Yue's pace seemed to be getting faster and faster, and even the servants behind him could not keep up.
——
"So...General Xu, General Le, the person in your hands is..."
Huang Yueying has never seen such a scene. It should be said that she has lived in the mansion for many years. Where has she seen such rough guys as Xu Chu and Le Jin?
Not to mention that the two men were carrying a young Confucian scholar and a struggling boy in their hands.
"Oh! Miss Huang said these two people..."
Xu Chu tilted his head and put the person in his hand directly on the ground. The young Confucian scholar looked a little embarrassed and really didn't know what to say.
"These two people have been hiding behind the willow tree. Lao Xu and I saw them sneaking around and thought it was something at this moment, but now it seems..."
"You are the assassin! Your whole family is an assassin! Let me go!"
The young man was obviously more noisy than the young Confucian scholar. Le Jin shrugged and gently threw the young man away. The young man could not stand steadily and fell down on his butt.
"Ouch! You...you bully me! Sir! He bullies me!"
The young man covered his buttocks and asked the Confucian scholar beside him for help, but the Confucian scholar ignored him.
"Brother, we meet again."
"Brother told us to close the door quickly, but secretly he still felt uneasy. It's really touching... You are my friend, and I, Yi Xiaotian, have made a decision!"
"so…"
Yi Xiaotian narrowed his eyes slightly and stood in front of the young Confucian scholar with a smile.
"So who is this brother?"
"Brother, the white jade Qi Gua around your waist doesn't look like something that ordinary people can have, right?"
"Haha... I have heard about the name of Master Yi for a long time, but when I saw it today, it was indeed extraordinary..."
The conversation between Yi Xiaotian and the young Confucian scholar was very strange, leaving everyone confused, but Huang Yueying heard the hexagram from Yi Xiaotian's mouth, and suddenly thought of a very mysterious Xiangyang celebrity...
She covered her small mouth and looked at the young Confucian scholar in front of her in shock. She kept denying it in her mind... because the other person looked too young and was not consistent with the person in the rumors.
"Could you be...could you be from Xianshan..."
"Oh? Has this girl heard of my name?"
"Xianshan?"
Yi Xiaotian was confused and kept searching for memories in his mind.
Suddenly, some memory fragments appeared in front of his eyes. He reached out and grabbed those memories. A large number of stories poured out from the depths of his mind, and a name seemed to surface.
"Xianshan Pang Gong...are you Pang De Gong?"
"Hahaha, I didn't expect the famous Master Yi to have heard of my name... I'm really ashamed..."
As expected, Pang Degong's name blurted out, and even Yi Xiaotian was quite surprised.
Because according to the book, Pang Degong seems to be older than Sima Decao, that is, Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui. But now it seems that Pang Degong looks like a young Confucian scholar, and there is no sign of middle age.
?
The visitor held the hexagram jade, and his name and taboo were immediately revealed, and Pang Degong's hermit style suddenly emerged. No wonder Yi Xiaotian felt that this person gave him an unfathomable feeling from the first meeting.
