Good luck every time

The boss sighed.

"You! I didn't say no!"

Mrs. Tian gave him a sidelong glance.

"That's pretty much it!"

After saying that, she touched Li Ruyi's head.

"It's okay. I'll support you. You came so early. Have you not eaten yet? Come on, let's go eat!"

Li Ruyi quickly refused. She hadn't even told him about her plan to plot against Zhao Laonian yet!

However, Mrs. Tian did not give her a chance and dragged her out by grabbing her arm.

The boss also stood up and followed them out of the room. A table had already been set up in the yard.

Mrs. Tian pushed Li Ruyi to the edge of the table, and Li Ruyi sat opposite the boss.

She went to serve the meal and warned the boss before leaving.

After she left, the previous topic could no longer be continued. The boss did not refute what Mrs. Tian said. Instead, he directly acknowledged the incident.

"What are your plans, Zhao Laonian?"

Li Ruyi looked at the boss's expression.

"I really think this salt is quite cheap! If you can stock up, you should stock up more."

The boss also looked at Li Ruyi's expression.

"Who doesn't want to stock up on salt? But it's hard to say how much money it will cost. Besides, the salt has to be eaten. The village only has enough salt from you. There's no place to consume the rest."

Li Ruyi was calm.

"What the boss said is true. I didn't think about this matter enough. I just thought about taking advantage of it and forgot about other things."

The boss's brows twitched.

"What do you think about us setting up a trap to trap Zhao Laonian?"

Li Ruyi seemed interested and asked the boss.

"What kind of set?"

The boss's idea was simple and crude.

"I asked him directly for 2,000 kilograms of salt and told him clearly that if he couldn't give it to me, I would come back to you. What do you think he would do?"

Li Ruyi thought for a moment.

"Let's find someone to help us? Or we can give up this village."

If I were Li Ruyi, I would never force myself to eat something I can't eat.

She couldn't afford two thousand kilograms of salt on her own. Even if she went out to buy it from others, she didn't have the money.

There is a high probability that they will give up the business in the village.

"Then what do you think Zhao Laonian will do?"

Li Ruyi's understanding of this man is limited. He only knows that the salt from the surrounding villages seems to be bought from him. Li Ruyi has calculated the quantity and believes that he should have two thousand kilograms of salt every month. After blending it, he can probably make two thousand two or three hundred kilograms.

"Let's find someone to help and think of a solution at the same time!"

He has been keeping an eye on Li Ruyi for some time, so he probably still has a lot of salt in his hands. He should be able to get it if he tries hard.

The boss laughed.

"If someone told him at this time that they were willing to sell him salt at fifty cents a pound, do you think he would agree or give up on me?"

Li Ruyi couldn’t say for sure.

"In order to target me, they should give up the high-priced side."

The boss shook his head.

"That depends on how he got the salt! He doesn't want to lose money!"

"I can find a way to sign a contract with him. You can ask him to collect some salt at a high price. We can work together to delay the date of his delivery of salt to a date after the date specified in the contract..."

"I don't want his salt, so he'll have to find a way to sell it, and he won't have time to bother you!"

The boss wanted to ask Zhao Laonian for some money and also save Li Ruyi some trouble.

Li Ruyi shook her head and disagreed.

She felt that the boss was so kind. She used to think that he was a bandit!

Look at it now, it is indeed soft!

"This is too dangerous. If you sue someone like Zhao Laonian, you will be skinned alive. It's pointless to just take some money."

"I think we should try to buy the salt at a cheap price."

"I'll sell it out at a low price next month to compete with Zhao Laonian for the market. It will be more meaningful to use his salt to impact his market than to cause trouble for him."

Zhao Laonian couldn't hold on for long. He went to seize Li Ruyi's market, but Li Ruyi's market was not so easy to seize. Not to mention that he had to deliver the salt to the mountain, the price would have to go up sooner or later.

However, it is easy to lower prices but difficult to raise them.

So many people in the village drove Li Ruyi away for him, so how could they let go of this piece of fat meat?

Li Ruyi prefers to watch him suffer the consequences of his own actions!

The boss sighed.

"That's a good idea, but these two thousand kilograms of salt are not cheap. Do you have the money to buy it?"

Li Ruyi shook her head.

"No money!"

The boss smiled instantly.

"You're telling me so much when you don't have any money?"

Li Ruyi was just giving the boss a suggestion. If the other party was interested in doing this deal, the rest of the things would be much easier.

The revenue of two thousand kilograms of salt and ten strings of money is just a matter of passing it around.

Of course, if the boss doesn't want to do it, she won't lose anything.

"Are you dreaming? Sometimes I even wonder if gold ingots will fall from the sky!"

The boss looked at her childish nature and shook his head speechlessly.

Li Ruyi stopped hinting and asked him instead.

"Master, have you ever seen a gold ingot? I have never seen one in my life."

How could ordinary people ever see such things in their daily lives?

The boss hasn’t seen it either.

"I haven't seen it either!"

The two chatted for a while, and then Mrs. Tian brought the food over. Although Li Ruyi had already eaten, he still ate a lot.

However, the half pound of salt she brought was left here.

The boss convened his men and went down the mountain with him to carry salt.

Li Ruyi also carried a backpack and went down the mountain with everyone.

Down the mountain, everything was almost the same as when she left.

Old man Li never left the cart.

The boss had someone bring a bucket, and Li Ruyi brought a large scale. Both sides weighed the salt and finally calculated the quantity.

Li Ruyi gave a little more than half a catty, but it was not bad overall.

The boss gave Li Ruyi 18 strings of cash, and they sealed the salt jars and carried the salt up the mountain in baskets.

Li Ruyi was not in a hurry to go back with Old Man Li and the others. It was almost dark, and it was not safe to travel with a cart in the middle of the night.

After staying here for another night, the three of them got up early and went home.

The eighteen strings of cash that Li Ruyi carried in his backpack were also very heavy.

But she still gritted her teeth and endured it. Finally, she went back without having to pull the cart and arrived home when it was dark.

Old Man Li and Li Er returned to their home, while Li Ruyi drove the cart to the end of the village.

After returning home and having a good sleep, she weighed the salt early the next morning. Li Er came to find her, and they each carried a basket of salt out.
