Chapter 33 Tavern

At lunch, there were still a few people in the store. As soon as Li Meng entered the door, he blocked the sunlight coming in from the door. When the light in the room dimmed, these people immediately looked at the door. When they saw who the person was, the two tables at the door immediately stood up.

The shop owner at the counter was about to greet him, but immediately shut up. Those who came to the shop to drink were all rough people. After a few glasses of yellow soup, cursing and fighting were commonplace. Maybe the new person came in blocking the sun, which made others dissatisfied. They just went out to clean up after they had sex.

All the people who wanted to watch the fun did not expect that the man standing up at the two tables had a smile on his face, and he was almost kneeling on the ground. The sound was much sour than the old vinegar accumulated in the store, and he said with a smile:

"Why are Brother Li coming here today? The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Brothers have a few filial piety to send to you."

The men who stood up also knew all the people in the store. They were salt dealers who came to Fengmeng Town, Changyi. They were said to have been sent from a large village. There were more than 20 people, and they were all characters who had practiced martial arts. They were also considered a domineering person in Fengmeng Town, and no one dared to offend him.

As a result, Li Meng was blocked on the way home by forty people. When he met, he was poked over a dozen times. When he was about to hit him again, the bamboo pole had already been changed to a pointed one. Seeing the black color on the bamboo pole, no one was afraid of him, and immediately agreed to Li Meng's conditions.

At most, the only way to fight is to agree to the conditions. After that, when these salt dealers in Changyi went to Lingshan Salt Farm to sell salt, two people fell ill on the way. Lingshan Salt Farm did not care about it, and there was no doctor in Fengmeng Town. In a panic, he could only bite the bullet and go to the nearby village to beg for Li Meng.

Who would have thought that Li Meng was not vague. He went to the doctor who was found in other thousand households to see a doctor and arranged people to serve him. Emergency illness may not be a serious illness. If you treat it in time, you will not be able to kill people. Just get rid of the person. The leader of Changyi salt vendors really thanked him for giving the salt to Li Meng for free this time, but Li Meng refused and said with a smile:

"We set the rules to do as we do. This money for curing diseases and saving lives will be done by anyone who encounters it, and don't take it seriously."

Not everyone did this. In the end, only Li Meng's family reached out to the business. The business returned to Changyi. The owner of the village knew about it. He also felt that Li Meng was not only a powerful person, but also a kind and righteous person. He made his subordinates respect more, so that he had this experience in the hotel today.

Li Meng smiled and waved his hand, and said:

"No need to be polite. I have something to ask someone for, you can just use it for yourself!"

Now Li Meng's words and actions gradually become the style of people of this era. The respectful attitude of Changyi's salt dealers makes the store feel that Li Meng is extraordinary, no matter whether they know or don't know who Brother Li is, they all think that Li Meng is extraordinary. The store owner also walked out with a smile on his face and said politely:

"So it's Mr. Li. Come on the inner room. The seat has been reserved for you."

Li Meng nodded and smiled to thank him. The boss obviously did not expect that the person in front of him would be so polite. He was at a loss for a moment, and only heard someone whispering there:

"This person is so polite. Is it still a role that doesn't work? I think he is similar to that Hou Shan?"

"Shut up, you don't want to live anymore. This is Li Erlang, the old man from Salt Ronzi."

"...Checkout, go quickly, I dare not stay here..."

The so-called inner room is the single room the owner has converted his living room into. To put it bluntly, it is a closed room with a table inside. Li Meng sat there, just a little peanuts, dried fish, and a pot of wine. He sat there waiting for the two salt merchants of the Wang family and the Kong family.

Soon, the two shopkeepers walked into the house with a chat and laugh. Although the people in Fengmeng Town were just shopkeepers, their appearance and temperament were still different from the military and civilian households in this area. People in this area were busy with life, and almost everyone was dark and thin, but these two shopkeepers were white and fat, and looked pampered, which was really rare.

A few months ago, these two shopkeepers don't have to condescend to meet a private salt dealer. Although their identities are just shopkeepers, they are now these salt dealers, Yan Ding, and the God of Wealth in the salt farm. Even the arrogant inspector Mou must be polite.

The salt store costs thousands of taels of silver every year to collect salt. Why can’t you be the God of Wealth if you spend this silver?

But now there are differences. Both the Wang family salt merchants and the Kong family have discovered that the salt dealers who have come to deliver salt to here recently, besides the salt diced and the salt farm, are the only people who come to the Xue Family Qianhu House.

The salt diced salt and the salt sent by the salt farm are made of sand. It would be nice to buy them even if they could be sold at a fair price. The reason why I buy it again is just to spend money to buy it for convenience.

The salt sent by the Qianhushi of Xuejiajiao is of good quality and the quantity is getting bigger and bigger. The salt collected by the Wang family and Kong family have their own sales channels. Not only do they care about Li Meng's salt, but people who do business are all sensitive. Li Meng has already controlled all the sources of goods. Since it is located in Fengmeng Town, it is definitely targeted at the people in this area near the sea. Li Meng controls all the sources of goods, and they have no other place to collect salt. This obviously means that both buyers and sellers can change their positions at any time, and the price is not what the buyer says.

In fact, these two salt merchants have thought of other ways, such as purchasing salt from foreign salt vendors halfway through, the price is slightly higher. To put it bluntly, let these salt vendors run errands to transport salt for them, and then go back to buy it again. However, when these brave salt owl salt vendors heard this, they shook their heads, fearing that they would avoid it.

Li Meng couldn't offend him either. It would be nice to say that the two shopkeepers had dozens of men who could fight under him, but Li Meng was the leader of the famous salt pole. There were some rumors that they knew that the teams of several foreign salt dealers who could fight were beaten to death, and there were more than a dozen salt peddlers who didn't know where they were. This was enough to make people scared.

Today, Li Meng invited them. Although they were nervous, they also had to come to the meeting politely. As soon as the two of them entered the room, Li Meng immediately stood up with a smile and clasped his fists and said:
Chapter completed!
