Shui is not a very valuable thing. In the past, a pound of soybeans cost only three cents. Within a few days, it rose to five cents, seven cents, and now... it has suddenly increased to ten cents, and it continues to rise.
You know, a pound of soybeans only yields about 4 taels of good yuba. Even counting the bad ones, the yield is more than 6 taels. Adding in the firewood and labor, it takes 18 cents to get a pound of yuba, which is obviously not cost-effective.
How could the villagers be willing to work for nothing and even have to pay for it, so they immediately came to Tang Shuizhi in droves.
Tang Shuizhi also had a headache, so she discussed with Cheng Erlang whether to raise the price by two cents.
Cheng's family was born in poverty, and when they got rich, they were just like Tie Yanli. Cheng Erlang became angry at that time: "Why should the price go up? No price! We signed the contract at that time! You tell them, if we don't deliver the goods on time, we will
Sue them!"
Yes, the contract was signed at that time.
At that time, Tang Shuizhi was afraid that the group would turn around and defect to Tang Shiyue, so he listened to Cheng Erlang's idea and signed the contract.
She immediately felt confident and told them.
When everyone heard this, they became anxious.
Again, this is an era where a penny can be used to fight. Even if they have some money in their hands, their ideas cannot change for a while. Of course they are afraid of seeing the official and being involved in a lawsuit, but when their interests are lost,
, no one wants to be taken advantage of.
So a group of people discussed it and came to seek help from the clan leader.
The old patriarch has always been fond of Tang Shiyue.
Their family has always stood firmly by Tang Shiyue's side since the jelly days. It can't be said that she is the only one who follows his lead, but that's pretty much it.
So, if you ask him to say that these people deserve it, he really doesn't want to care about it, but he can't ignore it.
He took people to find Tang Shuizhi.
Tang Shuizhi felt that she had jumped out of the village and was a successful businessman, so she no longer paid much attention to the clan leader.
She went back and forth and just said: "Anyway, there is a contract. They signed it themselves, and I didn't force them to sign it. Now they want to increase the price. Why? If he makes trouble again, we will sue him!"
Let them go in and spend a few days in jail and they will be honest!"
As soon as the news came out, these people gnashed their teeth in hatred.
But I was frightened.
At this time, the families who were suppressed by Tang Shuizhi at the beginning were all very lucky. They only signed for a few dozen kilograms and had already paid them, just in time to catch up with the price increase.
As expected, if you follow Mrs. Fu, you will not suffer in anything.
The clan leader thought back and forth for a long time, then quietly went to find Tang Shiyue.
In fact, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find Tang Shiyue.
When she wanted to take it back, everyone agreed, but then Tang Shuizhi intervened, and these people regretted it. She didn't argue with Tang Shuizhi, nor did she care about these people, so she just left it alone. Now, something happened.
Son comes to find her?
The patriarch is really ashamed.
Tang Shiyue poured tea and water with a smile, and did not take the opportunity to take Qiaoer. As soon as the patriarch told the matter with a shameless face, Tang Shiyue smiled and said: "Chief, the demand is greater than the supply...I mean, I want to buy Shu."
There are more people than people selling bean sprouts, so the price is bound to rise, so I really don’t know how this business is going to go down."
The old patriarch thought about what she meant: "What if you don't want to do this business? Is there any way?"
Tang Shiyue felt that this old patriarch was also a wonderful person, and he could understand the meaning with just one sentence.
Although, how should I put it, the Cheng family has some sense in this matter, but she is the one who is resented by others, and she must be the one who resents her even more.
So Tang Shiyue said with a smile: "If you ask me, you don't have to do anything. Now let's take advantage. After all, the Cheng family didn't owe us the money for the bean curd sticks. As for the deed, I have also seen it, and it only said that one family will provide for it."
How many kilograms, and I didn’t say how much I have to pay at one time, and when I will finish it. It’s you in ten years, and it’s you in a hundred years, so why don’t you rest for two days? How can they sue, and what should they sue?”
The old patriarch was enlightened instantly.
So everyone immediately hugged each other and "rested" together.
The Chengjia Mountain Goods Store came to the village again, and it was like an empty city.
The Cheng family are originally rough men in the mountains. They only managed to win a piece of business with just two fists. How dare they be afraid of you trying to do something against them?
So Cheng Erlang went back and called someone, and a group of strong men came over aggressively.
They also know that country people stick together, so there are many people here, including their own people and hired thugs. There are more than thirty people in total, all of them are strong men, and many of them are Han Yi's subordinates.
of gangsters.
They knew that Tang Shiyue knew Han Yi, but Tang Shuizhi and Tang Shiyue had conflicts. As long as Tang Shiyue didn't interfere, these people would take the money and fight wherever they wanted.
Unexpectedly, when I entered the village, I saw that not many people came out at all. Even if someone saw them, they would run away quickly.
Cheng Dalang didn't care if they went to call someone, he went directly to Tang Shuizhi's house, took the list, and said fiercely: "Let's go, start with the family that owes the most! Come one by one!"
The person who owed the most was also named Tang Dahu. A large group of people were walking over there, and Tang Shuizhi and Cheng Erlang were cuddling together, talking and laughing.
Halfway through the walk, I saw a group of people slowly approaching. The head of the Tang family and Chen Lizheng were both there. The head of the Tang family said distantly: "Shui Zhi, are you going to break up with the village?"
Tang Shuizhi rolled his eyes, "Chief, it's not that I want to break up with the village, it's you who are making it difficult for me! I'm a businessman and I've already signed the contract. If you say you regret it, then regret it. That's not how business works! What a bunch of rubes!
I don’t even understand, do you know that people like you are going to make people laugh when you go out?"
The old patriarch paused with a sullen expression on his walking stick: "Let me ask you, are you going to fight?"
Tang Shuizhi shook her handkerchief and hummed: "It is only natural to pay back debts! Of course I won't do anything if he pays the beancurd sticks. If he doesn't pay, why don't we use some clever tricks?"
"Stop talking nonsense to him!" Cheng Erlang said: "You won't eat the soft ones we bring, you can only eat the hard ones! Old patriarch, you have old arms and legs, so you'd better get out of the way, so as not to accidentally hurt you. That's terrible
I’m so sorry!”
Several big men laughed.
The old patriarch didn't move, and stood there waiting. Old Tang and others also asked people to grab her. The old patriarch said: "Tang Ancheng, do you know that your daughter is going to do this?"
Old Man Tang shrank his shoulders and didn't know what to say. The old patriarch calmly asked again: "Speak! Do you know? You just let her do this?"
Old Man Tang had no choice but to say sarcastically: "There's nothing we can do about it! If we make the yuba properly, everything will be fine, right?"
"Sure," the old patriarch said, "Then your family knows it, doesn't care, and is planning to take action against the villagers, right?" He staggered out of the way: "Go ahead."
Cheng Dalang was surprised.
Unexpectedly, this old patriarch knew the current affairs so well that he just got out of the way, which would save them a lot of trouble.
They came straight to Tang Dahu's house.
From afar, I saw the door of Tang Dahu's house open. A child, Tang Dahu's seven-year-old grandson, nicknamed Xiao Quan, was standing at the door, dragging a stick.
As soon as he saw them coming, Xiao Quan'er said: "If you dare to come in, I will ask my friends to beat you together!"
Cheng Dalang burst out laughing at that time: "Child, have you grown all your hair? Are you still beating me?" (To be continued)
