Good luck every time

Chapter 173 Salt Extraction

Li Ruyi didn't know how long she had been in meditation. When she opened her eyes, she saw her eldest sister and the third brother were already practicing!

She was startled!

However, Grandma Ding did not say anything to her. Instead, she asked her to stand where she usually practiced.

Li Ruyi went over and practiced with them.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that practicing today seemed to be a little smoother than usual.

She hadn't been practicing for long when Li Er arrived.

Not only did Li Er come, but Li Er also brought his fifteenth brother.

This was what Li Ruyi had told him before. Today, Li Ruyi was going to the county to fetch salt. The donkey cart could not carry more than a thousand kilograms, so she had to hire a cart.

However, if you only hire one vehicle, it would not be cost-effective to ask someone to move a thousand kilograms of salt.

Li Ruyi planned to find a cheap car and let Li Ershi and his fifteenth brother follow the car and work at the same time.

If she wanted to, she just had to lead the way, leading the donkey cart.

After listening to Li Ruyi's idea, Li Er also thought it was a good idea. Why not let his family earn money? ?

So Li Shiwu was called over, and Li Ruyi offered him fifty cents for the job. After he came back, he also had to help weigh and move the items into the house.

It is considered a high price, but since it is not used often, it is normal to pay a high price.

These days, the Li family saw the holiday gifts given by Li Ruyi and the new clothes that Li Ershi was wearing, and they have been treating her very well.

Li Shiwu decided to come over and help without even hearing the price!

Before Li Ruyi went out, he specially trained the stupid donkey again to make sure it was obedient before leading it out.

With the donkey cart, it was much easier for the three of them to enter the city.

Li Ruyi tried to drive the cart, and after driving it into a ditch, the cart was thrown onto a tree, and the cart overturned into the field... she finally made the stupid donkey understand her intention.

The donkey was so angry that he scolded Li Ruyi halfway because he couldn't communicate with Li Ruyi.

Li Ruyi was thrown to the ground by the donkey and kicked it several times. After the man and the donkey hurt each other, they finally reached a brief reconciliation.

However, this donkey was really lazy. As long as Li Ruyi couldn't see it, it would stop running and walk slowly, with its long ears folded behind its back to eavesdrop on Li Ruyi and the others' conversation.

I don’t understand anything, but I just want to listen!

Li Ruyi had no way to deal with it. He could only keep an eye on it and kick it if he saw it wandering.

When they arrived at the county town, it was still there. Li Ruyi found the mule cart he had used last time. They had negotiated the price before, and this time the price was slightly lowered because there was no need to move goods.

The two cars went to the side door of the county government office and lined up with the people in line.

The car entered the door, Li Ruyi looked at the car, while Li Ershi and Li Shiwu moved the goods.

Sixty percent of the goods were moved onto the mule cart, and the rest was moved onto Li Ruyi's donkey cart.

Li Ershi sat on the mule cart and Li Shiwu followed behind.

Li Ruyi was walking back in front, leading the donkey.

On the way back, the stupid donkey was almost crying from exhaustion. Li Ruyi comforted it, fed it two carrots, and made the mule behind it very jealous.

When they returned to the village, the two trucks of salt attracted a lot of attention and everyone was talking about all kinds of things.

Li Ruyi lifted the threshold and let the donkey cart into the yard.

By the way, this set of equipment was given by the owner of the horse market. He probably thought that when Li Ruyi went back to return the donkey, he would return this equipment as well!

After the salt was moved to the yard, Li Ruyi paid the driver and let him go.

After closing the door, Li Ruyi asked Li Ershi and Li Shiwu to carry the scale while she weighed the salt. The result this time was almost the same as last time.

Li Ruyi also weighed out the 350 kilograms of salt in the village.

She calculated the date, wondering when to deliver the salt.

The remaining salt also has to be given away. I wonder how much is left at the place where I sold salt before.

The problems left behind by Zhao Laonian will take some time to resolve.

After putting the salt in the house, Li Ruyi quickly paid the bill to Li Shiwu and wanted to keep some food for him, but the other party disagreed and left after taking the money.

Li Ruyi didn't force him, and she didn't ask for more food.

Unloaded the salt and had a meal.

Li Ruyi couldn't go anywhere today, so he stayed at home to read books and practice martial arts.

It was not until the next day that he went out with Li Er carrying the salt.

Zhao Laonian might not have looked ahead, as the villages where Li Ruyi delivered salt still had the same attitude as before.

The salt that Li Ruyi brought over was indeed of good quality.

However, this time, Li Ruyi also collected some things, mainly medicinal materials commonly collected by pharmacies.

If you sell it to a drugstore or clinic, you can still make some money.

After Li Ruyi accepted the barter, the attitudes of these villages towards her became more friendly.

Some people also told her that they wanted something and hoped that she could bring it to them next time.

Li Ruyi calculated the time and felt that this month should be much more stable than last month, so he should have time to work as a peddler, so he agreed and said that he would help with the delivery next month.

At the same time, she also used some needles and thread to exchange for samples of medicinal materials. She had to go to the pharmacy to see if there were any medicinal materials that could help her earn more money.

After visiting two villages, it was time to deliver salt to the village.

Li Ruyi still had to leave one day in advance and she would stay there for one night.

Li Er went home and told this story, and the next day Li Shiwu came along.

Although Li Shiwu is not married yet, he already looks like an adult. The Li family members feel that with him around, others won't dare to make any plans when they see so many of them.

Once you become familiar with this road, there will definitely be people who know what they do, so it’s not a problem to be on guard.

Li Ruyi thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she simply offered Li Shiwu a high price of eighty cents and asked him to follow her every month when she delivered salt to the village.

With him around, not only is safety guaranteed, but there is also someone to do the heavy work. With more people, it is also more convenient to keep watch at night.

The most important thing is that he is Li Ruyi's cousin and will not make Li Ruyi's reputation worse. For the sake of Li Er's future, the Li family seems to be trustworthy at the moment.

With Li Shiwu joining, the eldest sister felt much more at ease. Although she couldn't stop Li Ruyi from sleeping outside, it would be good to have a few more people around him.

The eldest sister even wanted to persuade her to hire Li Shiwu as well.

However, she was just thinking about it. She would never interfere with Li Ruyi's decision. Everything was still up to Li Ruyi.

This time, there were no further setbacks in delivering salt to the village. The boss personally led people down the mountain. After seeing the salt brought by Li Ruyi, he was very satisfied and happily paid Li Ruyi.

He also bought salt from Zhao Laonian last month. Just as Li Ruyi said, he directly bought two thousand kilograms. However, he did not follow Li Ruyi's idea and sell it this month, but sold it last month.

He asked his father-in-law to take the salt down the mountain to sell it at the market, and earned nearly ten strings of coins from two thousand kilograms of salt.

Who wouldn't want to earn so much in a month?

Moreover, the boss ordered people to boil all the salt from Li Ruyi and Zhao Laonian.

Even though Zhao Laonian's salt is 45 cents per catty, under the same price base, the output of his salt is basically the same as the output of the salt sent by Li Ruyi.

After all the changes here and there, the boss only spent about eight strings of coins on salt this month. It's such a bargain!

He even felt that two thousand kilograms of salt were not enough and he should ask for five thousand kilograms.

After all, this kind of business is stealing money from Zhao Laonian, and he can't do it for more than a few months.

I just don’t know how long Zhao Laonian can hold it in!
