They say your illegitimate child is worthless, yet you rebel with seven wives?

Chapter 26: The Su Family Suffers a Tragedy

"I also have requirements."

Tan Xing said, "That means the quality of future snowflake salt will not be worse than today's!"

"Of course not!"

Su Luo readily agreed.

Ten thousand taels!

For a moment, Ye Hu and the others' breathing became slightly rapid!

Tan Xing smiled and looked at Su Luo, trying to see surprise and excitement in his expression, but Su Luo had already responded calmly, as if ten thousand taels was nothing.

This made Tan Xing even more suspicious. Could it be that Su Luo was really the young master of some powerful force?!

They might be a powerful force by the sea, someone with immense wealth, someone even the Marquis of Sinan would have to respect.

Su Luo calmly said, "Okay, but I have one condition: I need a deposit."

He pointed to the three hundred catties of snowflake salt, a faint smile appearing on his face, "Since Manager Tan is so frank, then my sincerity will not be lacking either."

"Here, three hundred catties of snowflake salt, is my gift to Manager Tan."

"Give me two thousand taels as a deposit first, and five thousand catties of snowflake salt will be delivered directly in ten days."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Tan Xing's eyes.

Five thousand three hundred catties of snowflake salt!

If it were placed in Yunhai Town, it would be enough to socialize with those dignitaries!

It's even enough to network with higher-ups!

As for the crime of privately selling salt? Let's not even talk about the fact that Sinan Trading Company, as the trading company of the Marquis of Sinan, was qualified to sell salt!

So what if I'm not qualified?!

In today's Great Xia Dynasty, how few people have made their fortunes from salt trading?

"it is good!"

Tan Xing didn't think too much and immediately agreed: "Xiao Chen, go to the accounting office and get two thousand taels of silver notes..."

"Fine, just give me two thousand taels of silver!"

A genuine smile finally appeared on Su Luo's face.

"I've made a friend of Manager Tan."

Tan Xing smiled and said, "The fact that you can produce the direct descendant token of my Si Nan Marquis's mansion shows that you are also a close friend in the eyes of my master's son."

"These two thousand taels, even if it were given to you for free, young master, let alone as a deposit, what would it matter?"

Su Luo nodded, her smile growing even warmer. "My surname is Luo."

While searching his mind for any prominent families in the south with the surname Luo, Tan Xing bowed his head and said, "Young Master Luo!"

Soon, two thousand taels of silver arrived. Su Luo didn't even glance at it before having Zhang Daqiang and the others carry it on their backs.

In an instant, smiles appeared on the faces of both the host and the guests.

After finishing their business, Su Luo said she had to leave. Tan Xing insisted on seeing Su Luo to the door, and Su Luo did not refuse.

After watching Su Luo's figure disappear, Tan Xing composed himself slightly and looked at the waiter who had greeted the guest: "Little Chen."

"Shopkeeper, should we have someone follow us?"

The greeter said it very skillfully.

Tan Xing hesitated for a moment, then said, "Take a basket of the finest pastries with you and stay with him a little longer. If you are discovered, give the pastries to him."

“Tell him this is my sincerity, and I hope he will have a better impression of Yunhai Town and our Sinan Trading Company.”

Good products should not be sold to two different vendors.

Although the snowflake salt that "Young Master Luo" brought today has all been left at the Sinan Trading Company.

But perhaps he has other tricks up his sleeve?

If Yunhai Town has more than one producer of this quality snowflake salt, its scarcity will be greatly reduced.

"it is good!"

The waiter nodded, prepared a basket of fine pastries, and followed behind Su Luo and the others.

Tan Xing stood there for a moment, then took thirty catties of snowflake salt and headed deeper into Yunhai Town, stopping in front of a building.

It was a detached house with a courtyard. It didn't look luxurious from a distance, but a closer look revealed that the decorations were quite lavish.

"Tan Xing, what are you doing here? Is there anything I can help you with?" A middle-aged man came out and looked at Tan Xing.

Tan Xing took out the snowflake salt and said obsequiously, "Manager Cui, I've acquired a batch of fine salt and was thinking of bringing it as a special gift to you."

"A little salt, how much could it be worth? And you're offering it to me as a token of your respect?"

The middle-aged man was dismissive, but after opening the bag and examining it closely, his expression changed slightly. "Where did you get this snowflake salt? Do you have any more?"

Tan Xing nodded and said, "It was a traveling merchant from the south. It should be sea salt. It was transported over a long distance. I bought it because I saw that the quality was excellent. I have bought 300 catties so far, and it cost 1,000 taels of silver."

The middle-aged man, having changed his previous disdain, praised, "Not bad, worth the price. This salt... is even better than the salt used in the Marquis's mansion."

"Tan Xing, you came to give me this salt as soon as you received it. You are so thoughtful."

Then, looking regretful, he said, "However, salt... only three hundred catties is too little!"

Tan Xing said, "Manager Cui has misunderstood. It's a total of three thousand three hundred catties!"

"However, it will take ten days for the goods to arrive!"

At this, the middle-aged manager Cui became quite excited, his face beaming with a smile: "Good, good, good, Tan Xing, it seems you really have a good heart!"

"Don't touch this salt. Keep it safe. When the young master arrives in Yunhai Town, I will present it to him, and you will surely receive a reward!"

Tan Xing then became excited, "Then thank you very much, Manager Cui!"

……

"Young master, someone is following us. They're from the Sinan Trading Company..."

Ye Hu quickly noticed someone following them and lowered his voice: "This Sinan Trading Company is shameless."

Su Luo chuckled, "Don't say things like that, or you'll end up hitting ourselves with a boomerang."

Sinan Trading Company is shameless, but what Su Luo is about to do is even more shameless than Sinan Trading Company.

Su Luo plans to make the Su family suffer!

Before Ye Hu could understand what was going on, he saw Su Luo take out a small bag of fine salt from his pocket, a finer salt than snowflake salt.

This is also the best quality salt that Sulo can produce today.

"Young master, this..."

Su Luo whispered a few words in Shen Laosan's ear, and Shen Laosan's expression changed drastically. He almost cried out in surprise, but then lowered his voice and said, "But if that happens, Si Nan Trading Company will probably skin us alive!"

Su Luo rolled her eyes and asked, "Who's behind the Sinan Trading Company?"

Shen Laosan said, "It's the Su family!"

Su Luo then asked, "What is the relationship between the Su family and us?"

"Is it... an enemy relationship?"

Su Luo shrugged. "That settles it then! We're not allies with the Su family, so what does his attitude towards us have to do with us?"

"Don't worry, I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

Shen Laosan hesitated for a moment before taking a step away.

Ye Hu, watching from the side, was even more puzzled: "Young Master, what do you want Shen Laosan to do?"

Su Luo didn't say much, but told him to take some money and buy more tools to increase the salt production rate.

As for manpower, Su Luo doesn't want to increase it for the time being; with the right tools, the speed can be improved.

We'll start thinking about manpower when production efficiency can't keep up.

Otherwise, with too many people involved, things can easily get messy.

Xiao Chen, who was following behind, became anxious when he saw Ye Hu and the others leave. Just as he was about to catch up with them, he heard an annoyed voice: "Were you following us?"

"Is this how Sinan Trading Company does business?!"

When he looked up, he saw Su Luo's icy face and was so frightened that he almost knelt down.
