Good luck every time

Everyone stayed after buying things.

At first, Li Ruyi thought that they were happy because they could buy things.

Now it seems that I am happy only when strangers come and I can hear news from outside without leaving my house.

There are few fun things to do in the village all year round, and everyone is numbed by the day-to-day grind of life.

They didn't have much money and couldn't buy good things. Even though peddlers had come before, they didn't like to come anymore.

Peddler also has familiar routes and knows best where to make money.

Only a newcomer like Li Ruyi, who has just entered the industry and has high expectations for the industry, is willing to go to such a place.

Frankly speaking, if this trip is like this, it would be better for Li Ruyi to wander around outside the mountain.

Li Ruyi chatted with the person for a while and felt that the time was ripe. He wanted to find an opportunity to send the person away and talk to the clan elder alone.

After all, there are many people and many opinions, so it is better not to let too many voices get involved in unresolved matters.

However, before she could find an excuse, Song Lao San had already started to greet her.

"Everyone, let's go back! Brother Li hasn't eaten yet! It's just right for us to have a meal at my house!"

"Uncle 2 and Uncle 3, don't leave either. Let's have a meal together! Come on, come on! Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law, come over and sit down!"

Song Laosan's words carry a lot of weight, and when everyone heard that it was time to eat, they left with a feeling of being unsatisfied.

Li Ruyi also cooperated, and only stopped Song Laosan after the others left.

"Uncle Song, don't rush to eat yet. I came here this time because I have an idea. It happens that the heads of the family are all here, and I also want to hear the opinions of the elders."

Hearing Li Ruyi say this, the two oldest old men exchanged glances and then looked at Li Ruyi.

Li Ruyi did not keep the secret and spoke.

"The elders in my clan took pity on us for losing our father at a young age, and helped us find a way to sell salt. The salt was the best from the county government, and it came with a salt certificate."

"I haven't agreed to this yet, mainly because I'm young and don't know the market, and I can't afford the high capital. I just want to go out and have a look and ask around."

"Just now I heard everyone talking about how difficult it is to buy salt and the poor quality. So I also became interested."

"I would like to hear the opinions of the elders. If I can find a way to send salt to our place, would that be appropriate?"

The people in the room fell silent instantly.

After hearing this, the second uncle turned his cloudy eyes and looked at the third uncle.

Uncle San was silent, as if he was organizing his words.

Li Ruyi was not in a hurry. He looked at the expressions of the people in the room and waited quietly for a while.

After a while, the second uncle spoke.

"As soon as you showed up, I could tell you were a man with your own ideas!"

"You said this, salt is something that people buy everywhere, but you went through so much trouble to travel so far, you can't just do it for the same price as outside, right? "

Li Ruyi nodded and flattered him a little.

"I really can't hide anything from Second Grandpa!"

"To be honest, the salt tax is very high. If I buy salt at fifty cents a pound without any adulteration, I will lose everything in this business."

"But if I were asked to mix in those things and cheat people, I wouldn't have the heart to do it."

"We just want to go further and solve other people's problems with conscience, so it's reasonable for us to ask for a few more cents."

After hearing this, Song Laosan's eyebrows jumped.

A few elderly people were still able to remain calm.

"You are honest, little brother! I just don't know how much you want to add?"

Li Ruyi didn't know how much these people would spend, but it was too normal to ask for a high price and then pay a low price.

Her bottom line is fifty-two cents.

"To be honest, I want to add five cents."

When they heard that Li Ruyi wanted to add five cents, the people sitting opposite him felt relieved. They thought that the other party was sincere, so they could talk.

"Five cents is too much! It's all increased by 10%."

Li Ruyi also sighed.

"To be honest, you can make more money by mixing it. I've also inquired about it. The highest you can make is 20:80, with sand and rocks all in it. This money is much faster than the money I make by doing it conscientiously!"

"My family is in a tough situation too. With such a huge investment, no businessman with a conscience can last long."

She spoke from the bottom of her heart, and everyone in the room felt mixed emotions.

"That's a bit too much. It's not easy for us. We can't save much money in a year! You can reduce it a little bit! If it's appropriate, we will have a long time to live together in the future, right?"

Although people in the village seldom leave the village often, there are people in every generation who travel between the outside world and the village, and there are always a few people who speak fluently.

Li Ruyi continued to play the victim.

"But I can still deliver it to you! It's also hard-earned money. If I deliver salt every month, I can also bring some things that every household can use. If anyone needs anything, you can tell me and I will help bring it up."

"I do this, and everyone is just trying to make things easier, right?"

After hearing this, the second uncle shook his head.

"My child, if your salt is good, we can move it ourselves. I'm just afraid that it won't be the same as you said it would be when we get here! What's the point of just moving it up? Everyone has some strength! Isn't that right?"

Li Ruyi continued.

"Oh, Second Master! If I really wanted to do this, why would I bother with all that effort? I'm selling it at the bottom of the mountain just fine, just adding a handful of sand is a waste, I just climbed up here because I don't want to do this!"

"Besides, I have the salt and you have the money, so you can't take it if the goods are not what you ordered!"

Whatever the second uncle could say was blocked by Li Ruyi, and in the end there was only one solution left.

"That won't work either. Fifty-five cents a pound is too high. Even if I agree, it's useless. My family can only eat a few mouthfuls of salt a year. You should give me some. It's just a matter of three or four cents for you!"

Li Ruyi sighed. The other party had used three or four coins to test her, and she had already reached the bottom.

She knew that she couldn't give in at this moment. If she did, she might not even be able to keep her base price of fifty-two cents.

"Second Master, three or four cents is nothing. To tell you the truth, I may not even earn three or four cents!"

"I have to pay according to the amount of salt stamped, but the salt issued by the government office is not enough. One catty costs fifty coins. If they are short of ten or twenty catties, not only will I work for nothing, but I will also have to pay for it!"

"If that's the case, eh!"

Li Ruyi sighed, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Luckily I asked everyone, otherwise even if I took the salt back and broke my bones into pieces, I still wouldn't be able to pay back the money the tribe paid."

The second uncle heard that Li Ruyi was retreating, and leaned forward slightly, but seeing that there were no steps, he couldn't come down.

So he hurried to see his third uncle.

Third Uncle instantly understood what he meant and hurried to comfort Li Ruyi.

"Don't say that! We can see that you are a kind-hearted kid! You ran so far to bring the things and didn't pay us a high price. You are a good person!"

"If you really want to take this path in the future, I think you can succeed!"

Li Ruyi lowered his head and counted on his fingers, as if calculating something, and finally sighed.

"Second Master, Third Master, let me tell you the truth! For this salt, the lowest price I can offer is fifty-three coins. Only at this price can I barely make back my investment."
