Chapter 18 Eating Meat in the Future

Thank you everyone, I want to continue to rush up. Please support collection, recommendation, comment, thank you very much

----

On the evening of the first day of August, Li Meng and Zhao Neng sat outside the yard chatting. The reason why they were not in the yard was because the yards of the two families were almost filled with straw bags filled with salt.

While talking, the two of them looked at the entrance of the village. When the sun was about to set into the sea, the people they were waiting for came. Chen Liuzi and Wang Hai walked quickly from the entrance of the village. Both of them looked a little excited. Zhao Neng jumped up suddenly and waved his hands repeatedly. Li Meng slowly stood up. Chen Liuzi walked a few steps in front of him and said in a low voice:

"Brother Li, Xiaohai and I walked around the path today and saw a few people from nearby villages, with no other people."

Li Meng nodded, pondered for a moment, and said:

"I'll come here to fill my salt on the fifth day of tomorrow morning. Let's go to Fengmeng Town to sell salt. Xiaohai, tell me from door to door, and let them all push the chicken bus. I asked them to prepare seven days ago. Also, let everyone bring me a bamboo pole that is ten feet long and the thickness of a fist to me tomorrow."

Now these people have developed a habit. Whether Li Meng says it is one thing or not, just do it. Wang Hai's child's character is not tired after leaving for a day. He happily ran to each household to notify him, but Chen Liuzi did not leave. Li Meng said in confusion:

"Liuzi, go back and go to bed quickly. Are you going to get up early tomorrow?"

Chen Liuzi lowered his head and laughed a few times there, saying in embarrassment:

"Brother Li, I have a cousin. I see us very jealous and begged me every day to do it. Brother Li still has to make a decision on this matter. Do you think it's done?"

Li Meng said with a smile:

"It is our brothers' relatives who need to rest assured. After finishing this trip, let me see and do it together."

When Chen Liuzi saw Li Meng agreeing, he thanked him happily. This was the time to go home to rest. The sun completely fell into the sea. At this moment, the sky was extremely beautiful. Li Meng and Zhao Neng both looked at the sea not far away and didn't say anything until the sky gradually darkened.

"Brother Zhao, we can eat meat every day in the future~~"

Li Meng whispered.

When I woke up in the morning, more than a dozen people pushed the chicken bus and gathered at the entrance of the village. Everyone obeyed what Li Meng said, holding a thick bamboo pole. Shandong bamboo is a very common thing, which is convenient to find. Li Meng also has one in his hand. Being a leader also has this advantage, that is, he doesn’t have to push salt or pick salt, just follow it.

According to Chen Liuzi's words, "Brother Li, you will lead everyone and let you do your best to transport salt, then we will be embarrassed."

Everyone first carried the salt in straw bags to the truck in Li Meng's yard. The yards of Li Meng and Zhao Neng's two families were not big, but the salt goods collected were not transported by these dozens of wheelbarrows at one time. They were moving quickly here, and Li Meng asked Wang Hai to take everyone's bamboo pole over there. He pulled out his waist knife at the top to cut it.

These days, Li Meng has sharpened the knife very sharply. With one knife, he saw an oblique section. The bamboo that was originally flat-headed turned into a pointed one.

After shipping the salt goods, everyone took the bamboo pole back, but there was a pointed tip in front of the bamboo pole and it was very long. It would be really inappropriate if it was placed horizontally on the car. However, Zhao Neng brought a head and inserted the bamboo pole in the middle of the wheelbarrow, which would not affect the movement when pushing the cart.

Because the village was around the fifth day of the fifth day, when the sun came out, these people had already walked for more than ten miles. It was so early, not during the busy farming season, and there were no people on the road. Everyone stopped to rest halfway, and Li Meng had already prepared steamed buns and salted fish to make everyone's stomach.

It's a coincidence that this place was where Li Meng took a shoulder pole and killed Yan Ding and showed his power. There were five people who were not present that day. Since they were all their own people, there was nothing to hide. Chen Liuzi and others were very excited to describe Li Meng's majestic appearance to them that day. The young people were amazed, and when they looked at Li Meng, they were already a little more awe.

They got up early, ate full, and walked quickly. It was still some time before noon. Li Meng and his group had already arrived in Fengmeng Town. The middle-aged man Hou Shan seemed to be guarding this direction. When they saw a team of salt selling teams coming, they hurriedly walked up to talk with a smile.

As he got closer, he saw a bamboo pole inserted on each wheelbarrow. Hou Shan couldn't help but be stunned. He thought about what the rules were. Then he saw Li Meng walking in front of him. Then he realized that the people he came here had known. Li Meng was a poor man with a ragged clothes and beard last time, and this time he was obviously much more glamorous.

There is still a reason for the saying that people rely on clothes. Hou Shan was polite and respectful to Li Meng. Li Meng was not vague and handed over it for dozens of cents and said loudly:

"This is today's salt product, but the old rules are still there. Let's take us there!"

Seeing that the other party was still so generous, Hou Shan smiled so much that he couldn't even see his eyes. He bent down and said respectfully:

"Uncle Li, the road checks are being checked everywhere recently, and all salt merchants are waiting anxiously. Uncle's salt goods are not worried about sales."

Of course, these salt products do not have to worry about sales. The content of these sea salt is very small. Compared with the salt sent from other places, it is considered a top-notch product. Moreover, the salt merchants don’t argue about the price when collecting salt. The salt merchants naturally were willing, so Hou Shan took them to the Wang family’s salt store.

One tael, one ounce, one ounce, one pound, one pound, one pound, this time, they were all wheelbarrows, and they transported a little more than shoulder carriages. In total, they got thirty taels of silver. If they deducted the six taels of silver for collecting salt, they would still be left with twenty-four taels.

Hou Shan got nearly 300 cents again, and his attitude became more and more respectful. He made several times more profitable when dealing with people like Li Meng. Moreover, everyone is familiar with each other and is unwilling to sell it through middle-aged people, so he went to the salt merchant directly.

It is still the same rule, you can share the money when you go out. However, this time, the salt goods were paid by Li Meng. Li Meng paid for the money when he was practicing and eating on the beach on weekdays. Everyone was embarrassed to ask for the money, but Li Meng insisted on giving them money, each of whom was 600 yuan.

After receiving the money, Zhao Neng and Chen Liuzi were all excited, thinking that they had just put in some effort and had such a high reward. It was rare to come to Fengmeng Town once. These people were shouting to each other to buy something for their family. After Hou Shan got the reward, he wanted to leave, but was stopped by Li Meng, patted the stones on the side of the road and signaled to sit down. Li Meng was the big financial owner of Hou Shan, so he naturally wanted to flatter him. Hou Shan hurriedly sat down with a smile. Li Meng looked at the companions who were happily buying things and asked casually:
Chapter completed!
