Relying on his memory, Su Ren led the way. Just ten days ago, the brine spring was quickly found.
It is indeed a good brine spring. According to Su Ren, the water in this spring is full of salt. Returning to Laojun Temple, they took the iron pot and enough food for two people for a month. Su Ren and Leng Jun came again.
Go to the brine spring, set up the iron pot, collect the dry firewood, and start working. There is actually no special method for boiling brine, it is just one word, burning. However, Su Ren added a link in the last step, which is to use burning
The brine should be filtered through the charcoal.
Leng Jun felt that Su Ren's method was purely redundant. Boiling salt was just burning it, so why filter it with charcoal? Besides, it had no effect after filtering, at least he didn't see it.
For a whole month, the two of them did two things, chopping wood and making fire. When a cloth bag they brought was filled with pure white salt, the food was also eaten.
Su Ren stretched out, carefully scraped off the white crystals in the iron pot with wooden chips, and put them into a salt bag. This was their last pot of brine, and it took a lot of effort from the boss to boil it under Lengjun's constant muttering.
from.
Starting from the tenth day, Leng Jun went crazy. Su Ren said well at the beginning that the salt production in a month was only three to five kilograms, but in just ten days, he had cooked half a bag, which was at least ten or twenty pounds.
Jin. Leng Jun was a little worried. This amount of salt cost three qian per jin, which was fifty or sixty yuan. It could buy ten stones of grain and rice, which was far beyond Su Ren's original estimate.
However, Leng Jun did not leave in the end. Although he complained every day, he still conscientiously followed Su Ren's instructions and chopped wood to make a fire.
"Is it the head office now?" Leng Jun stared at Su Ren as he put the last grain of salt into the bag and tied the mouth of the bag tightly. A rough estimate showed that there were at least a hundred kilograms of salt, which cost three hundred dollars.
Su Ren nodded, stood up and stretched his waist: "Okay, let's go! Being a savage for a month almost made me sick."
"This is not three or five kilograms, but at least a hundred kilograms. This salt is enough to feed people in ten villages for half a year!" Leng Jun is right. There are many mountains in Sichuan, and the villages are very small. There are dozens of households, and the small ones are small.
There are seven or eight households, and there are even pocket-sized villages with one or two households.
Su Ren smiled and said: "Look at you, you are so petty in everything you do. If we have more salt, we will have more money. Isn't this a good thing?"
"A good thing? I don't think so. The government will definitely know about the salt supply of more than a dozen villages for half a year. If they ask about the reason, they will definitely find us. By then, beheading will be easy."
"Are you afraid? You told me earlier? Just don't come. What's the use of saying regretful things now? Don't mumble. I've been listening to you mutter for a month. Can you clear my ears for a while? Take the salt on your back.
let's go."
After staying in the forest for a month, both of them lost a lot of weight. If it weren't for their young age, their beards would probably be a foot long by now. Leng Yue enthusiastically cooked white rice and even meat. The two of them didn't care.
They bickered, ate, and after eating, washed up comfortably, and went to their own rooms to sleep. The two young people were exhausted for a month, and they slept for a full day and night before they recovered.
Looking at the bag of salt hidden under the Taishang Laojun's buttocks, Su Ren couldn't be happy. Making salt is easy, but selling salt is indeed a problem. Selling private salt is a crime of beheading, and Su Ren doesn't want to leave the country before he comes out.
He was arrested and beheaded by the government. But if he didn't go out, who would sell the salt? If he didn't sell the salt, it would still be salt and would never be turned into money.
Su Ren turned his head and took two steps back coldly: "Don't look at me, I will never go out to sell salt. It is already a crime of beheading. Selling salt will make you guilty."
Leng Jun won't go, and Leng Yue, a little girl, can't go. Su Ren sighed: "Okay, neither of you two will go, so I have to go."
As a novice, doing business is not Su Ren's strong point. The experience of later generations told Su Ren that he must find specialized talents for whatever he wants to do. The next day, Su Ren ignored Leng Jun's mocking eyes and prepared to enter the county alone. He had already left.
When I got to the door, I thought it would be safer to call Leng Jun. At least when fighting gangsters, Leng Jun was an absolute thug.
The last time I came to Wenshui County, it was already dark when I took my things into the city. This time, I left much faster because I had something on my mind. The two of them had already entered the city just after noon. Although Wenshui County is small, it is also strictly controlled.
It is divided into several areas. The north of the city where the county government is located is a gathering area for the rich. The south of the city is a residential area for farmers and tenants because it is close to the land outside the city. The army is stationed in the west of the city, and the slums of Wenshui County are in the east.
The slums are inhabited by beggars, hooligans, and local gangsters, mostly in the east of the city.
Finding people is also a skill, not to mention that what they are looking for is the kind of person who specializes in illegal activities. According to Su Ren's method, he first finds a gangster, lets Leng Jun restrain him, and then coaxes and coaxes him to take out some money from the gangster's mouth.
Speaking of which, however, the two of them wandered around the smelly street, not even a few people could be seen, let alone the gangsters.
Su Ren had a big head, and for the first time since he came to Dahan, he felt deeply frustrated. Who said that after traveling through time, he could hug a beautiful woman and live in a big house. In this unfamiliar place, survival is a matter of course.
It's such a difficult thing, and you still want to hug a beautiful woman, it's pure nonsense.
The two of them unknowingly came to the woodshed where they had lived a month ago. They turned around and took a look, and the two of them smiled knowingly. Looking through the tattered fence, they saw that the woman was cleaning up in the yard. They saw
It was these two scoundrels again, and the woman was startled. She dropped the things in her hands and hurried into the house. Su Ren smiled even happier.
Just when Su Ren and Leng Jun were about to leave, the door opened, and a tall and thick man suddenly came out of the room, holding a stick in his hand. Behind the strong man was the woman, with a low
While talking to the strong man, he pointed at Su Ren and Leng Jun.
Judging from his expression, the strong man was very angry. He rushed towards Su Ren and Leng Jun with a stick, and scolded him as he walked away: "You two thieves, how dare you molest my beloved, see if I don't interrupt today."
Your legs!"
Su Ren was a smart man, so he turned around and ran away. Leng Jun felt that he was in the wrong and did not dare to argue with the strong man, so he followed Su Ren and fled. Unexpectedly, the strong man refused to give up and pursued him with a wooden stick.
Just as they were about to catch up, Su Ren and Leng Jun turned a corner in confusion, and then stopped. There was a dead end in front of them.
The strong man was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and his face was exposed. It was already the beginning of autumn, and he was only wearing a waistcoat, showing his strong muscles. He stood at the entrance of the alley with his legs spread: "Where are you going now? You are teasing my family.
People, you even make false accusations and extort money. Today I will let you know that grandpa, I am not someone to be bullied!"
Although the two of them were running wildly, it didn't mean that they were afraid. Seeing the strong man approaching, he stood up coldly and said: "I did everything. If you want to find me, it has nothing to do with this dear friend!"
Su Renna was so excited. The ancients were good and would never betray their friends when trouble came. If it were in later generations, at such a time, the person involved would immediately throw the matter on others and let himself get out first. Today Leng Jun gave himself another
Learned a lesson.
"Hmph!" The strong man snorted coldly, pointed at Leng Jun with a stick and said: "It seems you are not good people. A little Taoist boy is molesting a woman. The Laojun Temple must be a lair of bandits. I will deal with you two first today.
Well, tomorrow I will smash your Laojun Temple."
"How dare you!" When Leng Jun heard that this guy was going to smash up the Taoist temple, he was willing to do so. The anger in the young man's heart was forced out: "I still don't know who is going to punish whom today? I didn't mean to offend that day, let alone two yuan of compensation.
, you are so stubborn, don’t think we are afraid of you."
The strong man actually laughed, laughing very loudly: "Really? Come on, come on, let's fight with grandpa and see who can deal with who?"
A stick hit Leng Jun's head. Leng Jun dodged the big man's wooden stick lightly. Three times in a row, Leng Jun just dodged left and right without fighting back. Su Ren was frightened when he saw it. Every time the strong man's wooden stick missed him.
Leng Jun is only a few inches tall, but this strong man is very powerful. If he is hit by his wooden stick, his bones and tendons will be broken even if he cannot be beaten to death.
When the strong man swung the wooden stick towards Leng Jun's waist for the fourth time, Leng Jun advanced instead of retreating. Seeing the opportunity, he punched the strong man on the left waist. The strong man's waist immediately bent down, Leng Jun
Taking advantage of the situation, he slapped the strong man on the forehead. The strong man couldn't help but take a few steps back and squatted on the ground. The wooden stick in his hand had already flown out, and he covered his waist and eyes with both hands, with a painful expression on his face.
The woman suddenly rushed in from the entrance of the alley, threw herself in front of the strong man, with tears on her face: "You two young gentlemen, please spare your lives. Everything is my fault. Please let my husband go."
He said while kowtowing to Leng Jun.
Su Ren appeared from behind Leng Jun at the right time: "Okay, okay, it's just a small matter. We don't want to do anything to you. We just want to ask you a question. If you answer it well, we will give you a few rewards."
.”
The woman then stood up with great gratitude, and quickly helped the strong man lying on the ground slowly. The force of Leng Jun's punch just now was indeed very strong. Normally, a stone could be opened, let alone an ordinary one.
A strong man.
The woman quickly agreed: "If you have any questions, young master, just ask me. If you know the answer, I will answer it. As for the reward, it doesn't matter."
"I just want to ask, is there anyone in the east of the city who sells smuggled salt?"
"Ah!" The couple instantly turned to stone and could not utter a single word. After a long time, the woman knelt down again and banged her head on the ground: "Young Master, please forgive me! My husband has indeed sold money.
I'm sorry, I'm forced to make a living. I really have no other choice. Please consider that we still have two young children to raise, so please bypass my husband. Please, please, please..."
The woman burst into tears, but Su Ren looked excited, staring at the strong man's silly smile.
