At dawn the next day, a huge caravan appeared outside Jiangjiacun.
Zhu Renxia hurriedly took No. 5 and Jinzhu to the city wall to check, and saw that the caravan had more than 200 mules and horses, more than 100 vehicles, and more than 100 men.
The leader was none other than Liu Zhaoguang: "Master Zhu, my team is here."
"Zhu has been waiting for Boss Liu for a long time."
Zhu Renxia ordered the city gate to be opened and let Liu Zhaoguang's caravan in.
More than a hundred mule carts stretched hundreds of feet, and Jiangjia Village could not accommodate them, so they could only enter the village in batches to load their goods.
The coachmen were all Liu Zhaoguang's long-term workers. In addition to driving the carriages, they also had to load the carriages.
Zhu Renxia ordered Jiang Erhu to take all the villagers to help and try to fill all the mule carts before dark.
Liu Gongfu rolled up his sleeves and wanted to help, but Zhu Renxia persuaded him to stop him.
"Instructor Liu, please stop doing these menial jobs. You are the dignified chief catcher and the instructor of our Jiangjia Village. How can you overdo your talents and underuse them?"
Liu Gongfu laughed loudly: "Idle time is idle, it's very comfortable to work hard and sweat all over."
Liu Zhaoguang, who had just returned to the meeting hall after visiting the village, was full of praise.
"It feels like your Jiangjia Village has become a little bigger again, and the number of villagers has also increased a lot, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger."
Liu Gongfu put his hands on his hips and smiled: "With Mr. Zhu's leadership, our Jiangjia Village will naturally have a bright future."
Zhu Renxia ordered the villagers who were cooking in the meeting hall: "Boss Liu is eating in the village today, so cook more dishes."
Jiang Axiu brought Chunmei and Xiang'er to help, and soon cooked a dazzling array of dishes.
There were beef stew, kebabs, fried pork, cabbage stewed pork belly, mutton soup... a large table was set up.
"How good are the living conditions in your Jiangjia Village?"
Ma Laowai, who had not spoken much, was really shocked. This was much better than what he had eaten.
"Haha...Zhu expected that Boss Liu would come to deliver goods in the next few days, so he specially sent someone to rush to the county town to purchase."
Zhu Renxia has become a master of lies. He can tell lies at his fingertips without blushing or heart beating.
"Haha...Thank you Mr. Zhu and Old Master for your warm hospitality." Liu Zhaoguang clasped his fists in thanks.
Everyone was seated separately.
Zhu Renxia and Jiang Fuzi sat in the main seats, Liu Zhaoguang and Ma Laowai sat in the guest seats, Jin Zhu and Liu Gongfu accompanied them.
As for the fifth master, he went to the warehouse to settle accounts.
Today's shipment volume is huge, more than one hundred cart meters of carbon, and few illiterate people in Jiangjiacun can calculate it. This arduous task can only fall on the fifth place.
The fifth person is proud of this, so he will naturally not be polite. He has been busy in the warehouse all morning.
From time to time, Ma Laowai peeked at Jinzhu, who was dressed like Guanyin Bodhisattva, guessing that she was the woman who hurt the Yang family in the town that day.
But I don’t know why the Yang family didn’t pursue it. Is it possible that Zhu Renxia is really so powerful that he can even handle the Yang family in Bozhou?
Liu Zhaoguang enthusiastically invited Jiang Axiu to the table to dine together: "We are all from our own family, and my brothers and sisters are here to eat together."
Now that Jin Zhu has sat down, Zhu Renxia is no longer polite and greets Jiang Axiu: "Madam, since Boss Liu is not around, let's sit down and eat together."
"This is so bad."
Jiang Axiu shook his head like a rattle, "My husband and uncle will have dinner with the guests. I will go to the warehouse to help the fifth master settle the accounts."
Looking at A Xiu's retreating back, Liu Zhaoguang complimented: "My younger brother and sister are really a good helper."
Mr. Ma asked with a crooked smile: "Isn't the fifth master here to buy rice carbon? Why do you stay here and not leave?"
"Haha... The goods were robbed by Boss Liu. In anger, he stayed in our Jiangjia Village and became my accountant. However, the salary is terrifyingly high, five taels of silver a month!"
Zhu Renxia had already thought of his words, and now he naturally responded fluently.
"Five taels?"
Ma Laowai was startled, "Master Zhu is really wealthy. The fifth master's salary this year is almost as much as that of the county master."
Liu Zhaoguang smiled and said: "Master Zhu has recruited Liu Baotou and the fifth master. It can be said that they are full of talents. They will become big things in the future. Please take care of them when the time comes."
"Boss Liu is serious. I have been expelled. I just want to be a rich man in this poor valley and help the people who have no food to eat.
Zhu Renxia smiled and raised his glass, "Here, let me toast you two. How about you try the liquor from our Jiangjiacun?"
Liu Zhaoguang raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, praising it profusely: "Good wine, good wine. As soon as the wine bowl was filled with wine, I smelled the fragrant aroma."
“It tastes really good!”
Ma Laowai was also impressed, "I, Ma Boyuan, have lived for fifty years, and I have never drunk such a delicious wine."
At that time, the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves and drinking happily. They drank for an hour and a half before giving up.
Zhu Renxia asked Liu Gongfu to bring out ten jars of liquor and gave five jars to each of Liu Zhaoguang and Ma Laowai.
"A little thin wine, thank you very much. You two can take it home and taste it slowly."
Liu Zhaoguang and Ma Laowai thanked each other together, and then asked: "Liu thinks this liquor will definitely be popular in Guiyang. I wonder how many there are in Jiangjiacun? If the quantity is large, I am willing to buy it at a high price."
"Well..."
Zhu Renxia didn't dare to make the decision without authorization, "I have to make a calculation first."
Then he made an excuse and ran back to his home, stood in the yard and looked up to the sky to ask for instructions: "Tianzun, Tianzun, are you at home today?"
"Where are you? Why are you so alarmed?"
Zhu Changan heard the people inside the box shouting and the horses neighing, and a long snake-like horse team appeared outside the village, so he took a magnifying glass to observe.
"Tell Tianzun, the big businessman from Guiyang just now wants to buy our liquor. I wonder what Tianzun wants?" Zhu Renxia asked respectfully.
"Promise him!"
Zhu Changan agreed without hesitation, "I can provide any goods he wants."
"But you tell him that the price of the liquor you drank today is relatively high. Just say that Jiangjia Village has several grades of fine wine, from cheap to expensive, and they will be priced according to quality."
"Disciple understands."
Zhu Renxia agreed and immediately got up and went out to the meeting hall.
Just when Zhu Renxia left, Ma Laowai took the opportunity to go to the toilet and quietly said to Liu Zhaoguang.
"What do you think? I guessed it right, Jiangjia Village is indeed protected by gods. He went to ask the gods for instructions. Otherwise, where did the white jade city walls of Jiangjia Village come out of thin air, and where did the coal and polished rice come from?"
Liu Zhaoguang signaled Ma Laowai to keep quiet: "We don't care about anything, just do business honestly. It doesn't matter where the rice carbon comes from, as long as the goods are genuine, it's rare to be confused, it's rare to be confused!"
Mr. Ma nodded crookedly: "That's exactly what my cousin said."
After Zhu Renxia returned to the meeting hall, he recounted what Zhu Changan had told him.
Liu Zhaoguang nodded repeatedly: "It depends on the price of the goods, yes, yes. When I transport this batch of coal back to Guiyang, I will immediately lead the team back here to transport the wine. Brother, I will sell you whatever you have here!"
With the busy work of more than two hundred people, one hundred mule carts were fully loaded while the sun was still high.
The accountant of the Liu family came to the meeting hall with the fifth person to report the accounts.
"There are sixty carts of coal in total, each cart weighs about four thousand kilograms, totaling two hundred and fifty-four thousand kilograms."
"Take off the fraction and calculate it as 250,000 catties." Zhu Renxia made a generous decision.
Liu Zhaoguang clasped his fists in thanks and said, "Young Master is loyal."
The fifth person took the abacus and struck it: "Three hundred and seventy-five taels of silver."
The accountant then reported the account: "There are a total of forty carts of polished rice, each cart is about 3,500 kilograms, totaling 140,000 kilograms."
"Three taels of silver for each thousand catties, totaling four hundred and twenty taels of silver."
The fifth person rushed to report the bill, "Add the two, the total is 795 taels of silver. Boss Liu paid a deposit of 100 taels last time, and this time he only needs to pay 695 taels."
Liu Zhaoguang waved his hand and said, "Here, bring the money in."
