Good luck every time

Li Ruyi didn't expect Han Shian to be so anxious, but she remembered that he still had classes, so it might not be convenient for him.

"It works!"

After saying that, she gobbled up the whole bowl of wontons in just a few bites.

Han Shian sat there and ate bite by bite very decently.

Li Ruyi also drank the wonton soup, put down the empty bowl and sat there watching Han Shian eat.

Han Shian was of slender stature, but he sat upright with the bearing of a scholar. He was clearly wearing the same coarse cloth gown that Li Ruyi remembered, with thread covers visible in some places, but for some reason, he always gave off a natural feeling.

He noticed that Li Ruyi was looking at him, so he looked up at Li Ruyi.

"Am I eating too slowly?"

Li Ruyi shook his head, retracted his gaze and looked at the surrounding scenery.

Seeing that she was looking away, Han Shian's gaze stayed on her for a moment before he lowered his head and continued eating.

After finishing their meal, they got up together and two of them went to buy a scale first.

This thing is available in grocery stores, but it is not certain whether they have a large scale. If not, you may have to wait for someone to make it custom-made.

Sure enough, the 500-jin scale that Li Ruyi wanted was not available at all. The largest scale here only weighed 100 or 200 jin.

In addition to the scale bar with scale marks on it, this 100-jin scale also has an iron rod placed across the handle. Two people, one on the left and one on the right, lift the scale bar and the object to be weighed, while another person adjusts the weight to weigh it.

This scale comes with four weights, the smallest is 50 kilograms and the largest is 200 kilograms.

The smaller the more accurate.

This large scale cost three strings of coins, so Li Ruyi had to be thankful for his foresight.

The remaining small scales were not cheap either, but Li Ruyi bargained for them as well as the scales, and finally got them all for one string and seven hundred coins.

The owner of the grocery store packed the things, Li Ruyi put the scale into the backpack, and went to hire a car with Han Shian carrying the large scale.

The carts in the county were more expensive than those in Sanjia Village, so Han Shian hired two and gave the two cart drivers an extra ten cents to help carry the things onto the carts.

The driver agreed.

Seeing that Han Shian was so confident, Li Ruyi didn't ask anything and got on the mule cart and followed him to the county government office.

The county government office had several doors. Han Shian had obviously been here before. He went around the gate of the county government office and went to the left, where there was a door specifically for salt dealers.

When the two of them came over, there were still several cars lined up on the road.

Han Shian asked Li Ruyi and the driver to wait behind the frames while he got off the bike to see what was going on.

Li Ruyi sat there and waited obediently, looking at the people around him.

Han Shian hadn't come out for a quarter of an hour, but Li Ruyi wasn't in a hurry because she didn't have to spend any money anyway!

After waiting for a while, the carriage in front went in, and soon came out from the other side. When it came out, it was loaded with several large sacks.

Li Ruyi waited in the car for a while. After the people in front had passed, their mule cart finally entered the gate.

Some yamen runners in tattered uniforms were busy at work.

They weighed out the official salt from a huge sack on one side and poured it into another smaller sack.

Li Ruyi observed and found that they did not weigh the salt, but used buckets to weigh the salt.

Five hundred catties is eleven and a half dou, and one thousand catties is twenty-three dou.

The large scale bought by Han Shian was now placed next to Li Ruyi, but she did not dare to go up to weigh the salt. She had no choice but to bear it even though she knew there would be too little.

After the salt was weighed and packed into sacks, Han Shian handed over the salt sticker, stamped it and took it away.

He then called the two trucks over to move the salt.

The mule carts had limited carrying capacity, so the one thousand kilograms of salt were shared between the two carts. Li Ruyi sat in the front cart and Han Shian sat in the back cart, and then the two of them returned to Sanjia Village.

Li Ruyi thought a lot along the way.

It seems that she really needs a helper. When she heard that Li Laosi was helping Li Laoliu divide the family property, she had thought about finding someone to do the job.

At this moment, her thoughts became more intense.

When Han Shian was not around, she could not do this job alone. Even if she had a car, she would not be able to deliver three or four hundred kilograms of salt to a place eighty miles away.

Mules are good things. I think I should get one in the future.

Li Ruyi was thinking about something all the time, and he kept thinking about it all the way to the village.

Li Ruyi didn't dare let anyone leave through the village entrance. Although this matter would be known to others sooner or later, there was still a difference of sooner or later!

After taking a detour, the mule cart stopped in front of Li Ruyi's house.

The third sister was squatting at the gate killing fish. She was stunned for a moment when she saw her second sister jumping off the mule cart loaded with sacks.

In just that instant, the fish in her hand jumped up.

The third brother rushed to catch it, and the fish instantly jumped under the mule cart and came out from the other end with a crackling sound. At the moment it came out, Han Shian jumped off the mule cart.

"Hey!"

Li Ruyi heard the voice and looked back, and saw Han Shian holding the mule cart and turning twice before standing steadily.

The third brother felt a little embarrassed, so he came around from behind the mule cart and grabbed the fish that Han Shian had stepped on.

The fish was covered in dirt.

"Brother Han, are you okay?"

Han Shian waved his hand.

"nothing!"

He was used to it. If he went to bed peacefully at night, he would feel uneasy.

Li Ruyi asked her elder sister to quickly put away the hair ornaments in the study, and she asked someone to carry the salt in.

The eldest sister agreed loudly and ran into the house in a hurry to pack her things.

Li Ruyi didn't wait for her. He picked up a large scale and asked people to carry the salt in.

One thousand kilograms of salt were divided into eleven sacks and piled on the kang. Li Ruyi put the salt piles in order, fearing that they would fall and kill someone.

With their small bodies, they would die if they were crushed by the salt.

Han Shian was guarding the door. After people finished their work, he paid them and let them go.

Although the eldest sister had heard that Li Ruyi was going to sell salt, the surprise of seeing a thousand kilograms of salt with her own eyes was different from hearing about it.

She was even a little at a loss.

Li Ruyi wanted to weigh the salt, but no one was around. It would be too much of a burden for her elder sister and Han Shian to carry a bag of salt weighing over 100 kilograms.

It seems that we can’t delay in finding someone to do the job.
