Chapter 264

Wu Liang's brain has basically stopped turning. After hearing this, he still got it. He grabbed Shi Qing's hand: "don't do it. I just ask, ask, or join the gang!"

"Did you really do it with me?"

"True, true, more true than pearls!"

"Yes, let's write a note."

Shi Qing borrowed a pen and paper from the tavern at that time. When he was a child, he was a serious student, but he couldn't read it. Fortunately, he knew all the words and didn't want to be blind. Now write a contract and you can barely get through it.

He put the paper on the table and wrote half a page.

The contents include the specific division of labor between the two in their future business, mainly Wu Liang's having to follow him in business, and the share after making money, which he has to take the lead, and so on. Some of them are written as long as he can think of them.

According to the standard of a serious contract, this contract may not be legal and its effect is yet to be determined, but it has enough deterrent power for ordinary people.

Of course, there is no inkpad here. Shi Qing's act of writing a contract on the wine table has already aroused the idea of the shopkeeper. He looked here several times, but because Wu Liang wanted to jump into the pit, he finally dipped his finger in ink and pressed a big black fingerprint under the contract.

Shi Qing blew the ink on the contract dry, folded it carefully and kept it in her arms.

Seeing that Wu Liang had forgotten his original intention of taking care of the wounded, he was flushed with wine and food, and waved to the waiter to serve two sobering soups.

The sophomore almost finished the whole process of Shi Qing's persuading Wu Liang to sign the contract, and deliberately interrupted three or four times, but Wu Liang still signed the contract.

It's a matter of paying bills these days. Can't stop Wu Liang had to forget, after all, he and the second child is not related, or their own money is important.

Xiao Er served two bowls of sour and spicy sobering soup and went to greet other guests.

Shi Qing persuades Wu Liang to drink it. The hangover soup stimulates them to sweat. Not to mention Shi Qing, who is not drunk, Wu Liang wakes up a lot.

"Gone." Shi Qing brought in a small two to settle the bill, and only two of the coins were left. He felt less than one or two in his hand.

What's this money for!

Shi Qing thought in his heart, or put it back in his arms.

Wu Liang stood up wobbly. He would wake up a little. He remembered that Shi Qing's foot was still injured. He asked Xiao Er to take the donkey to the door of the tavern. He reached out to help Shi Qing out.

How dare Shi Qing ask him to support him? Wait for the little two to pull the donkey out, let the little two support Wu Liang, and slowly move out of the door.

How can I go home like this? He was reluctant to spend any more money. After a short walk, he found an open space in the alley and led the donkey to the ground. Two of them sat on the ground, waiting for Wu Liang's strength to go down completely.

Wu Liang began to feel sleepy after sitting for a while. Shi Qing simply told him to lean on the donkey. He fell asleep after a while and snored gently.

Shi Qing has nothing to say to him like this. At least he is the brother who just joined the gang. What else can he do?

A man sat for a long time and fell asleep on the other side of the donkey.

Two people this sleep has been sleeping to the West slant of the sun, just confused wake up.

Shi Qing woke up first, confused for a while, and quickly reached out to touch his arms. The silver coins and the contract were all there, and he breathed a sigh. Fortunately, he didn't lose anything.

He quickly woke up next to Wu Liang and said, "don't sleep. It's dark when you sleep again."

Wu Liang woke up with a splitting headache.

In addition to being lazy, he has a good temper. He wakes up with Shi Qing's rude voice, but he is not angry.

Wu Liang rubbed his eyes: "where is this?"

"In the dead end of town." Shi Qing helped the donkey to stand up, but he didn't succeed, so he had to call Wu Liang, "give me a hand."

Wu Liang stretched out his hand to help him. He didn't slow down. He had no strength. He was almost brought to the ground by Shi Qing. After a long time, they stood firm.

They were ready to go back to the village. They felt very thirsty before they took two steps.

Drinking too much wine, thirst is one of the common sequelae.

They couldn't bear it for a moment, so they had to find a noodle shop nearby. They went in and asked for two bowls of tea and drank them.

Wu Liang would wake up and think about what happened at noon. He was a little nervous, but he did not dare to ask again. He was afraid that Shi Qing would be annoyed and hurt his friend, so he had to worry about it.

I don't know what kind of luck it is today. Shi Qing is thinking about what to do for a living. He doesn't make any money at all. God sent someone to give him some ideas.

There's a difference between Shi Qing and others. Since he was a child, his ear power is stronger than that of ordinary people. The distance he can hear is twice as long as that of ordinary people. In the past, he didn't feel that this ability was of any use. At most, he listened to the gossip of his family and delayed his sleep at night.

Who knows it's coming in handy today.

Wu Liang is still waiting for the boss. Shi Qing lowers her head to hide her face. She listens to the table furthest away from them. Two people in blue coarse cloth are whispering.

One said, "have you got the goods today?"

Another said, "they are not willing to let go. They say that now the price of official salt has gone up, and their goods have to go up."

"Bah! They still have the face to raise prices! What's mixed in the goods of last month? If you don't care with them, they're still excited! It's all our brothers who take the risk. What they do is business without cost, and dare to raise the price! "

"They are the only ones around us who have the goods, so they have nothing to fear."

"Brother, why don't we --"

"No, it's no good falling out."

"Then let them raise the price? It's going up again. Next time, they must have an excuse to raise the price! "

"Don't worry. Do you think those who take goods from them are as honest as our brothers? If we wait two more days, we still can't come to an agreement. There must be someone to settle the matter. You see, those people have a comfortable life and become demons. They are impatient and can be slapped on the ground

"Why don't we just wait for someone else to do it? We can't sell our goods for a few days. "

"You'll have two days off when you've sold out. Are you tired of living in fear?"

After the discussion over there, Shi Qing began to eat noodles. There was a storm in her heart.

According to the dialogue between the two men, Shi Qing guessed that the business they were engaged in was smuggling salt.

In this dynasty, salt and iron were sold by the government. No matter what the iron was, salt was eaten every day. Official salt was not only expensive but also not refined, which gave birth to private salt trading. Salt smuggling has the same nature as modern smuggling, and the punishment is heavier. If a certain amount of salt is seized, it is beheading.

Shi Qing thought about the little silver in her arms and finally made up her mind.

How can small business make money? Big deal he earned capital to stop and change!
