Chapter 320 What Are You Here For?

The group took some rest.

The next day, Zhao Ce took Su Caier out and visited Mr. Cao's house.

This is the first time that the young couple visited other people's houses except for being a guest at the village home.

However, when thinking about Mr. Cao's character, Su Caier didn't feel nervous at all.

Almost an hour later, the two of them held hands and set out on foot from where they were standing.

Zhao Ce was also carrying the specialty that he wanted to give to Mr. Cao.

In fact, it is a specialty, which is some candy products and candies in their store.

On Mr. Cao's mansion, in the prosperous South Street in the city.

I heard that this street is full of famous people.

After Zhao Ce knocked on the door, Cao Si opened the door from inside and happily welcomed them in.

"Your Madam Zhao, you are finally here. Our master has been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhao Ce smiled and said hello: "I am bothering me today."

Mr. Cao's house is a big house with four entry points.

However, along the way, except Cao Si, there was no trace of servants.

The young couple was taken to Mr. Cao, who asked them to sit down with a smile.

In line with Mr. Cao's stinginess, Mr. Cao's home can be described as simple as it can be described.

It is similar to Zhao Ce’s rural home, but there is no extra decoration at all.

Su Caier has never seen any of those wealthy families, but Zhao Ce has watched it on TV.

Don’t those people have many antique vases or jade Ruyi in their homes?

Mr. Cao seemed to care about this at all, and happily invited the two of them to sit down, then shouted at the top of his voice: "A Si, serve tea for Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao!"

Cao Si got the order and went down to do it quickly.

Mr. Cao also smiled and said, "Today I have someone prepared a lot of good dishes. You two stay here for a meal before going back."

Zhao Ce smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Cao."

After Cao Si gave him tea, Mr. Cao took a sip of tea and sighed: "Good tea!"

"That is, I am willing to enjoy it for myself after I have benefited from your husband and wife."

Zhao Ce couldn't help but smile and said to Su Caier next to him: "This tea is really delicious."

Su Caier took a sip and couldn't taste it or not. She just nodded and said, "Well, it's very fragrant, thank you Mr. Cao."

Mr. Cao waved his hand and said with a smile: "I haven't had a guest in my house for a long time. You can be more casual and don't be too restrictive."

The three of them took a few sips of tea and then made some polite remarks. Zhao Ce asked, "Master Cao, when you gave us salt last time, I said that the salt price in the city would rise."

"Before leaving, the salt prices in our county did rise a lot."

Speaking of this, Mr. Cao still felt heartbroken.

He said bitterly: "The city is not just rising, it's almost doubled!"

"The price of salt has risen so high that many people have started to stock up on salt at home."

"Now you go to the salt shop, you probably won't be able to buy salt!"

After saying that, he said with some concern: "I brought the salt to you last time, but did you forget to bring it?"

"If I forget, I still have it here in my house. I'll bring some back to you later."

Zhao Ce quickly said, "Mr. Cao said last time that the salt price would rise, so when I got home, I asked my family to stock up a lot."

"I have brought enough salt now."

Cao Yuanwai nodded and said, "That's good, it's better to bring more, otherwise the salt waste will become chaotic and even if you have money, you probably won't be able to buy salt."

"This boiled vegetable without adding some salt is really unpalatable..."

Hearing Cao Yuanwai's words, Zhao Ce thought that the price of salt had doubled in just a short time.

No wonder many merchants with goods in the county below the city are starting to get ready to move.

Zhao Ce asked: "Don't this salt farm produce salt all the time? Why are you still afraid of salt shortage?"

Mr. Cao said bitterly: "The salt production in our city's salt farm has never been high."

"Because there is a salt in the salt field in Lianghuai that can be turned on, it can be barely enough."

"but......"

Mr. Cao looked outside the door and said in a low voice: "I asked the officials in the salt field. I heard that except for the salt used by the officials, most of the remaining salt must be transported to the capital or stored on the spot."

"Fortunately, our place is far away from the capital. As long as the Salt Censor comes to inspect and sort it out, it will probably be much better."

"However, it will take about half a year to go like this."

Shipping to the capital?

Zhao Ce took a sip of tea and thought to himself that this is related to the people in the capital?

Speaking of this, Mr. Cao was heartbroken again and said, "If I hadn't heard this news, I wouldn't have taken so much money to buy so much salt and stock up on my home."

What Mr. Cao said was similar to the two people on the boat.

After hearing this, Zhao Ce said in confusion: "Mr. Cao, the poisonous salt you bought in the mountain should have a salt mine in it."

"Why don't the government go to where to make salt?"

Mr. Cao shook his head and said, "I don't know about this."

"I guess the location is in the middle of two palaces and in the deep mountains, which is not as cheap as Haiyan."

After hearing this, Zhao Ce did not ask any more questions.

These things have temporarily exceeded his cognition.

After all, he has only been to the city for two or three times since he traveled through time, and he has been here for the exam.

He knows very little about the news from the farther away capital.

After a while, Mr. Cao called Uncle Cao San and asked him to prepare lunch.

During this meal, compared with the last time the green vegetables and tofu, Mr. Cao actually added a roast lamb leg in a big way.

After the meal was served, Mr. Cao took a deep breath and said, "It smells so good!"

"This Tingyunxuan's roast lamb leg is awesome. You have a good time today!"

"Okay, Uncle San, please go down to have a meal too."

Uncle Cao San smiled happily, "Then I'll go down first, sir."

"The roast lamb legs smelled in the kitchen, which was so fragrant, so I'll try them too."

After Uncle Cao San left, Master Cao took care of Zhao Ce and Su Caier for dinner.

After eating, he asked someone to take another bag of salt and give it to Zhao Ce and the others.

Zhao Ce thought a little funny that this salt has become a souvenir.

But let’s not talk about anything else, the price of this salt souvenir is great.

Zhao Ce refused but was about to accept it.

A person suddenly came into the door, and he was still yelling: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

"I bought so much salt, and I just gave it to others casually?"

Zhao Ce and the others looked in the voice and saw a man with a greasy and powdery face, about 20 years old and a small beard, walking in.

Cao Liu followed behind him, looking constipated.

"Master... This nephew is here again, and it's quite punctual every day."

Yuanwai Cao glanced at him and said, "It's okay."

Then, he glanced at the man again and said unhappily: "I said yesterday that I would entertain guests today and I don't have time to deal with you."

"I said too, don't participate in your shit alliance."
