Late at night, in the Yan Gang hall.
Zhou Zhushan was speaking passionately and generously about the subtleties of his new salt. Liu Mo crossed his fingers and raised his chin, only his eyes moving while listening.
And Gong Changyi sat in the center of the hall, his face was like a stone sculpture, the firelight covered his skin with a layer of eerie orange, casting deep shadows at the bottom of his eye sockets.
The table salt already on the market is similar, but the new salt has no difference at all, which is a bit outrageous.
"Mr. Liu, tell me about your new salt."
"Xiangshan County, Haiyan!" Liu Mo didn't say much.
"Oh? You two are both from Linyang, and you both produce sea salt from Xiangshan County." The third leader of the Salt Gang was wearing a gray and white robe, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Mr. Liu is the son-in-law whom my cousin recruited." Zhou Zhushan said with a malicious smile.
After hearing this, the third master's face darkened.
"It's useless to say more, Palace Gang Leader, Third Master. If you want to find out the truth, all you need to do is send someone to Xiangshan to inquire." Liu Mo said, "All the islands in Xiangshan are our Lin family's salt workshops. No one can make this false. "
"Hahaha, cousin, you are really good at joking." Zhou Zhushan said with a smile, "Rongcheng is half a month away from Xiangshan, and the round trip takes more than a month, not including landing on the island. This new salt has not yet been put on the market. Already?"
"I'm not in a hurry, are you?" Liu Mo said.
"Mr. Liu, I'm sorry that we can't delay this year's major event because of new salt." The second boss said as he stood up and looked at Gong Changyi, "Gang leader, for the sake of fairness, these two new salts will be priced and put on the market next year."
The big things that the second boss mentioned were actually the rules set by the Salt Gang.
In mid-March every year, a price range is set for different salts, which serves as a control over salt prices.
If you don't get the price of salt, you can't sell it and you have to wait until the next year.
Liu Mo was in a very irritable mood, "Second Master, since the quality of our two companies is almost the same, why not go public at the same time?"
"No." The second master said firmly, "Rules are rules."
Zhou Zhushan had a bad smile on his face, "Cousin-in-law, why are you so anxious now?"
Liu Mo instantly understood that this was his cunning plan to prevent my new salt from being put on the market!
Gong Changyi thought for a long time, and then said: "Mr. Liu, the matter has not been settled yet, there is still some time."
You evil forces are not only arrogant, but also blind!
Such obvious despicable means, can't everyone see it?
Huang Shouren wants to win you over, and I, Liu Mo, have to destroy you, damn it!
Holding back his anger, he bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, old gang leader, for reminding me. I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, Liu Mo left the Salt Gang without looking back!

The next day, before dawn, Liu Mo started packing his bags and planned to leave for Linyang.
He wanted to ask Lin Yuan face to face where Zhushan got the new salt this week.
If this idiot Lin Yuan really did something good, then let Mrs. Zhou come forward and deal with this fool.
Then let Lin Yuan come to Rongcheng and the matter can be solved.
Seeing Liu Mo's situation, Lin Shiqi asked why.
In any case, he was her biological father after all, and Liu Mo didn't want to say it at first.
But when the question got urgent, he couldn't hold back and blurted out.
"Not your dad yet!"
Lin Shiqi, who knew the truth, was shocked at first, and then thought about it again.
"Husband, although my father is somewhat unusable, the new salt matter is of great importance, and he will not know it."
This is something Liu Mo can't understand.
Before returning to Rongcheng, they had a tacit understanding of how to deal with Lin Xian, an "old bastard".
"One more thing, husband." Lin Shiqi continued, "My father and Zhou Zhushan... can be said to be incompatible!"
"Oh?" Liu Mo was surprised.
Lin Shiqi explained calmly.
It turned out that Lin Yuan, Lin Yu, and Lin Xian didn't want to deal with each other. At least they are brothers. Mrs. Zhou is still alive, with broken bones and tendons still attached.
The Zhou family is different. Lin Yuan and Zhou Zhushan's father once had a lawsuit because of business matters.
According to Lin Shiqi, even if Lin Yuan gave the new salt business to his two brothers for free, there was no way he could sell it to the Zhou family.
This explanation made Liu Mo even more confused.
Which bad guy is cheating on everyone?
Otherwise, the new salt in Zhou Zhushan's hand fell from the sky?
Or is this guy a time traveler like me? Cheating...
If it weren't for Lin Yuan's stupidity, there wouldn't be much point in returning to Linyang.
For the first time since traveling to the Great Xia Dynasty, Liu Mo felt the frustration of being unable to exert his strength.
Three days have passed, and I still haven't thought of a way to break the situation.
Just when Liu Mo was in a state of panic, Li Xin sent a message, "Yang Yizhi invited Liu Mo to come over to his house for a get-together."
How could he be in the mood to make friends with this actor now? Liu Mo wanted to refuse, but Li Xin leaned into his ear and said, "Uncle, Yang Yizhi said he wanted to invite you to talk about the new salt!"
Surprised and surprised, Liu Mo immediately decided to go and find out.
When I went downstairs, I saw a carriage hanging the flag of the Lan Kwai Garden Troupe waiting outside the door.
After getting on the carriage, it took about half an hour to reach the destination, and Liu Mo froze.
The most prosperous area in Rongcheng, besides the East-West Market, is Chunxiu Lane where the brothel and Chu Pavilion are located.
It was only after noon, and these places were not open yet, but those who should get up were already up. In the alley, you could also see some women sitting alone upstairs or leaning on the railing, or chatting and playing.
From the inner courtyard wall, there was a faint sound of silk and bamboo coming.
Invite me to a place like this in broad daylight?
Just when Liu Mo was confused, a maid came out of Yingfeng Tower, the most famous brothel in Rongcheng, and said, "Mr. Liu, Mr. Yang has been waiting for you for a long time."
With surprise, he followed the maid in.
I glanced out of the corner of my eye. At this time, in the inner courtyard of Yingfeng Tower, a piano lesson was coming to an end. Several younger girls were still playing the professor's music seriously.
After going up to the second floor and arriving at the private room, I saw a woman sitting in it.
The woman was actually only eighteen or nineteen years old, and she was dressed simply, which was much inferior to the colorful flowers in the brothel, but her appearance was extremely beautiful. She has a beautiful and elegant oval face, beautiful eyebrows, and an outstanding temperament.
Sitting there quietly reading a book, the figure gives people a light and ink-like feeling.
"I went to the wrong room." Liu Mo said awkwardly.
Just as she was about to turn around, the woman quickly said, "May I ask if this is Mr. Liu Mo Liu?"
"That's right." Liu Mo was surprised again.
"I have heard about the young master for a long time, and today I finally meet him." The woman saluted, "I wonder if there is anything wrong with the water-melody song that the little girl sang just now?"
"Oh? Shui Tiao Ge Tou..." Liu Mo was stunned. He looked at the woman in front of him and blinked, not knowing what he meant.
"The guests in Rongcheng all like to hear this..." the woman explained.
The poems I wrote during the Ghost Festival throughout the year were turned into songs? Liu Mo responded.
"Young master Liu, you still don't know?"
"Haha, Wan'er, Mr. Liu has never set foot in the land of fireworks, so of course he doesn't know." Yang Yizhi walked in from the door and then saluted Liu Mo, "Mr. Liu, this is Miss Su Xiaowansu, Mr. Yang's adopted sister. "
An actor and a brothel girl become sworn brothers and sisters! ! !
