Volume 1 Battle in the Sand Garden Chapter 3 Salt Merchant Qiu Family(2/2)

It was normal for him to know Qiu Min, but it was so strange that Qiu Min actually knew him.

The Qiu family's affairs are not a secret in Dali County, and Qin Xiao has heard about it.

Originally, the Qiu family was an ordinary family, but a few years ago, the Qiu family suddenly became prosperous, and salt shops opened one after another. They looked like bamboo shoots sprouting from the ground, growing taller and taller. Later, someone found out and said it was Qiu.

A daughter of the family married Tongzhou Tongfen as a concubine and gave birth to a son who was very favored.

Through this relationship, the Qiu family obtained the right to sell Tongzhou salt. Salt was a monopoly of the imperial court in the Song Dynasty, and not everyone could do it. Without strong backing support, even salt imports would not be available. However,

Salt is a necessity in people's lives, and they cannot be missed in every meal. It is a huge profit business that is sure to make money without losing money.

In just a few years, the Qiu family has made a fortune. Even the sons and nephews of the Qiu family look at their daughter-in-law with lofty ideals. Ordinary people are not interested in the Qiu family, but they are always thinking about marrying officials.

.However, how can an official like a businessman? Let alone a nouveau riche.

Therefore, everyone in Dali County knows that the Qiu family cannot achieve high or low levels.

This is one of them. There is another theory, but since the Qiu family got rich, the evil in human nature has jumped out like the devil. Let’s not talk about other things, let’s just talk about Qiu Min. He was originally a strong man who only knew how to weave baskets.

Ba seems to have become arrogant and domineering overnight. His favorite thing to do is to throw money at people.

In the middle of the private room, there is a large round table, with fresh fruits and melons on it. Qiu Min, Da Ma Jin Dao, sat on the main seat as a matter of course. He stretched out his hand and asked Qin Xiao to sit next to him.

.Here, Qin Xiao’s butt was still stuck on the chair, and with a huff, a group of orioles flew in from outside the door, and the fragrant breeze blew against his face.

"Master Qiu, you haven't been here for a long time."

"Second Master, I miss you so much."

........

In such a battle, not to mention Qin Xiao, even a wanderer would not be able to withstand it. Five or six girls were green, fat, red and thin, each with their own charm. At this time, they surrounded Qiu Min with coquettish smiles, and instantly overwhelmed Qiu Min and Qin.

I have never experienced such a wonderful blessing in my life. I only felt my mouth was dry and I felt dizzy.

"Pa." Qiu Min slapped his palm heavily on the table. Everyone in the room was startled and suddenly became quiet. The girls in the room, including Qin Xiao, all looked at Qiu Min in surprise.

Qiu Min looked down and shouted, "Where's the madam? Do you look down on me, Mr. Qiu?"

"Ah? See what you said." Outside the door, the madam was stunned when he heard this. Not satisfied? He laughed and immediately ran into the house with a smile on his face. "How dare we deny Qiu Er the Miaoxiang Building?"

It’s my face.”

"Really?" Qiu Min leaned back, stretched out his arms and leaned on the chair. "Where is Miss Yuzhen?"

When Qin Xiao heard this, the corners of his eyes jumped. Miss Yuzhen is not only the top brand of Miaoxiang House, but also the top ten oirans in Dali County. It is said that Miss Yuzhen has a natural beauty, but she is an icy beauty. Are you willing to come out to accompany the wine?

It all depends on her mood. It is said that when the magistrate of this county once came in person, Yuzhen also showed no pretense.

"Haha, this?" The madam's face was a little stiff, but she was curled up in her heart. How could a guy like Qiu Min catch Yuzhen's eyes? A nouveau riche, relying on a few money to make a fool of himself, the madam had seen too much.

"Second Master, I really don't mean to neglect you two. It's just unfortunate that Yuzhen has been caught by the cold these days and it's difficult to come out to serve. Please forgive me, Second Master." The old bustard thought to himself that after hearing these words, it was time for him to understand.

Right? Being caught in the cold is just an excuse. To put it bluntly, I just look down on you. You have to judge yourself.

Qiu Min had no expression on his face. He reached into his pocket and took out a handful of banknotes, seven or eight in total.

With a bang, the banknote was slapped on the table. "Are these enough?"

Banknotes are rare. For the convenience of carrying, big businessmen specially deposited the money to the bank. The banker issued bills with exclusive monograms, usually for large amounts. However, the banknotes at this time were not only

Interest will be paid, but storage fees will be charged. The usual practice is to get three out of one thousand.

The old madam smiled brightly, grabbed the banknotes and took a quick look, she saw that there were three thousand taels, and she was very happy.

"Second Master, sit down for a moment. We'll call Yuzhen over soon."

After a short while, the madam left and came back with a sad face. Obviously, Yuzhen was not invited. At this time, Qiu Min was angry and without saying a word, he took out another banknote with a face value of one thousand taels. The old madam's heart

He jumped wildly, took the banknote, and said incoherently, "Master, wait a moment, I will go to my house again, and then go again."

This time, the waiting time was longer. After a cup of tea, the madam came back with a somewhat embarrassed look. When he saw Qiu Min's face, he immediately howled. "Master Qiu, I really have nothing good to say about my family."

"Pa." There was a dull sound, and Qiu Min took out another banknote, which was still one thousand taels. At this time, Qiu Min seemed to have lost his anger, but the look in his eyes was like a beast that chooses people to devour.

Min said "hehe" with half a smile, and waved to the madam. "Go again, go again."

The madam took a long breath and then slowly picked up the banknote. She had been in the world for a long time, who hadn't seen anyone? What scene hadn't she seen? Five thousand taels was indeed a huge amount of money, but it didn't surprise her. However,

There was no arrogance in Qiu Min's eyes at this moment, but she felt scared.

When a brothel opens its doors for business, it is never afraid of offending people. However, there are some exceptions.

The madam forced a smile on her face and went out with a heavy heart. This time, very quickly. Before anyone came in, the madam's laughter was heard, "Second Master Qiu, Second Master Qiu, and Miss Yuzhen are here."
