Chapter 56
"Hey! What's the crowd? Didn't you see that everyone was queuing up? Where did you come from!" At this time, it was Liu Yan who had just lined up at the entrance of the salt shop.

The servant of Pei Xiu violently pushed and pushed Liu Yan and his party, in a daze, they tore a path for Pei Xiu to pass through in the crowd.

Pei Xiu raised his head and looked at Liu Yan and the others with his nostrils upturned, but at this moment, his appearance was completely different from the appearance in the study just now.

This is the disguise technique he learned from a woman in the red building. Although the skill is not superb, only his father Pei Ji and the servants at home can recognize who he is.

Although Pei Xiu has always looked like a bohemian dude, sometimes, when it's time to use his brain, he is still very alert.

He knew very well that if he revealed his identity without authorization, he would definitely attract the attention of the emperor, and might bring disaster to his father.

Disguise is the best way.

In this way, he can at least preserve his father's reputation no matter how he behaves in Chang'an City.

"Why, you farmer who only get nothing for nothing, is it possible that you want to grab salt from me? Go, go, wait for me if you don't have money!" Pei Xiu looked at Liu Yan and the others very arrogantly, and turned his head. Look at the shopkeeper.Just when he was about to speak, Jia Yi behind him was also ignited by his behavior:

"Whose small things are so arrogant? I also came to buy salt. Why can only you buy it, can't we?"

Immediately afterwards, Jia Yi took out the heavy money bag and weighed it in his hands, and the large bag of copper coins inside made a "squeaky" sound.

As a businessman, he is naturally a little richer than ordinary people. Jia Yi has seen many such young masters.

But in fact, they themselves don't have much money. No matter what kind of family it is, even the emperor's son, they will not spend a lot of money casually.

But he is a businessman, and he earns all the money by himself, so he can naturally squander it at will.

"Tch~" Pei Xiu glanced at him disdainfully, "Where is this lowly businessman who dares to show his face in broad daylight?"

"Shopkeeper, I want all the salt you have here! Even if I take this salt and pour it into the river, I won't give it to you bastards!"

Seeing this, Pei Quan hurriedly pulled Pei Xiu, who immediately gave him a squinting look.

This is his method, as long as everyone's attention is on their disputes, no one will become suspicious, although he will definitely not be stupid enough to buy all the salt,

What he said immediately ignited the anger of the entire team, but many of them dared not speak out. After all, such a young man is very likely to belong to a certain royal family. Son, if you offend him, you will not end well.

Most of them chose to remain silent, but glared at this guy.

However, there were also some people who shouted in the queue: "We have been in the queue for a whole day, you bought everything and what are we going to eat!"

"That's right! If you want to buy it, you'll come when we finish buying it!"

"Shopkeeper, you have to make the decision for us!"

"Do you want to let such people do evil here in your royal salt shop?"

……

The shopkeeper looked at the young man quietly and smiled lightly.

Because he knew very well that this salt was not something that a young man like him could buy all of it.

That son still looked at the shopkeeper arrogantly: "Shopkeeper, please do the math, I'm going to pack all the salt in your salt shop!"

"Don't worry, this young master should not say such arrogant words. You cannot buy all the salt in this salt shop." The shopkeeper lightly stroked his beard and turned to look at Liu Yan and others: "Four Sir, how much salt do you need, let Xiaoer weigh it for you."

"Wait!" Pei Xiu stopped Xiao Er: "In Chang'an City, there is nothing that I can't afford. The shopkeeper just says, no matter how much, I will accept everything."

"Hahahahaha!" The shopkeeper suddenly laughed loudly and said, "One bucket is [-] Wen, and ten buckets is one stone. What I have here is only [-] stones, but there are more than [-] stones in the treasury, my lord. Accept them all?"

"More than 30 taels!" Jia Yi also secretly exclaimed. The people behind him also said nothing and looked at the young master with a look of gloating on his misfortune.

30 taels. These common people had no idea about the money, but seeing the behavior of the shopkeeper and Jia Yi in front of the team, they could roughly guess that the young master probably couldn't afford it.

The anger and resentment on everyone's faces dissipated, and they turned to look at this luxuriously dressed son with sarcasm, waiting for him to leave in despair.

But Pei Xiu's momentum remained undiminished.

Such an attitude is something that an ordinary person can't even pretend to be.

His family can really come up with so much money.

Pei Xiu still looked at people with his nostrils, and looked at the shopkeeper and Jia Yi.

Although his Pei family could indeed come up with such a sum of money, his purpose was not to buy salt, but to find out how much salt was left in the royal salt shop.

Now that the goal has been reached, Pei Xiu smiled secretly, but still said arrogantly: "It's just a little over 30 taels, it's a trivial matter, take me home and get you the money, remember, but Xiu will sell it to you." others!"

After finishing speaking, Pei Xiu left gracefully.

Jia Yi sneered and said, "Huh~ But the yellow-mouthed kid dares to act big, it's ridiculous!"

But the shopkeeper frowned, and said to himself: "Which son is this boy? Is it true that someone wants to collect all the salt as Fang Shangshu said?"

"Xiao Er, weigh these people!" The shopkeeper suddenly came out of the salt shop: "Everyone, don't worry, everyone has a share."

When he walked to the side of Xiao Er, the shopkeeper said: "Pay more attention to the person who just acted like that just now, I'll go out for a while."

After that, he walked far away.

The faces of those somewhat sullen people finally eased a lot, and they laughed and talked about this unknown son.

However, Pei Xiu's goal has been achieved. As for the fine salt, he only needs to find someone who buys salt at random and pay a little more to buy some back.

"Young master! Young master! I bought it back, look at it after I bought it, this salt looks like this!" Pei Xiu didn't go far, and a man dressed as a servant ran towards Pei Xiu in a panic, holding a salt in his hand. With a cloth bag.

Pei Xiu was only arguing with people just now, and didn't pay attention to the appearance of the salt. Now that the servants rushed over in a panic, Pei Xiu also frowned with some doubts.

The servant opened the cloth bag, held it in his hand, and held it in front of Pei Xiu.

"Tsk tsk tsk~" The moment Pei Xiu saw the salt, the corners of his eyes subconsciously tightened. Although his Pei family was considered wealthy, the salt he ate was no different from that of ordinary people.

But there is no salt in this cloth bag, it is clearly smoothie white snow, which feels dense and pure in appearance.

Pei Xiu stretched out two slender fingers, twisted a pinch and placed it on the tip of his tongue.

"Hiss—it melts in the mouth, without any bitterness or astringency, and the salty taste is clean and pure, which makes people feel a little sweet aftertaste!" Pei Xiu's eyes trembled slightly, and his face was really a little surprised.

"Let's go back to the mansion. This thing must be discussed with my father. From the appearance of this salt, it is really the royal salt of the emperor's father."
