    Xiuzhen was kicked out by the two oil factories, and she stood blankly on the street, completely bewildered.

    "What's the situation, it's fine if you don't buy oilseeds, but the attitude is so bad, could it be that the people of Shanyang are so unreasonable?" Xiuzhen thought to herself.

    After thinking about it, Xiuzhen decided to go to another oil mill to have a look. She and her helper drove the carriage around to look for the oil mill.

    Shanyang is a county town that is neither big nor small. The bustling area is only 500 meters before and after, and within 500 meters there are only a few oil presses.

    Not long after, Xiuzhen found an oil mill in an inconspicuous corner. There was a small sign floating at the door, which said "Luoji Oil Mill", and Xiuzhen hurried in as if she had found a treasure.

    There was only one old man busy in the small oil workshop, Xiuzhen stepped forward to say hello: "Old man, does our oil workshop collect oil seeds?"

    The old man turned his head to look at Xiuzhen and said, "Take it!"

    When Xiuzhen heard this answer, she almost jumped up for joy. She suppressed her excitement and pretended to be calm and asked: "I have a hundred catties of rapeseed, how much do you want?"

    The old man only said two words: "Everything!"

    Xiuzhen wanted to cheer at this moment, she had already imagined Zhongwen's unconvinced expression in her mind.

    Xiuzhen asked again: "Then how much can you give me?"

    The old man still has two words: "Ten taels!"

    "What, ten taels?" Xiuzhen was suddenly woken up, and she asked in disbelief.

    The old man didn't even say a word now, he just nodded and went on to do other things.

    "The cost price of one hundred catties of oilseeds is only fifty taels of silver. I want to buy it for ten taels of silver. Could it be that I heard wrong?" Xiuzhen asked herself secretly.

    She asked again loudly: "Old man, please say it again, I didn't hear you clearly!"

    The old man said it again without looking up: "Ten taels!"

    "That's right, it's ten taels of silver, I heard that right!" Xiuzhen gritted her teeth secretly in her stomach.

    She has already been kicked out by two oil factories, and there is no room for negotiation at all. This small oil factory is her last hope. Xiuzhen suppressed her anger with a courteous smirk on her face, and said to the old man: "Old man,  Look at my oilseeds, they are big, plump and dry, they are all high-quality goods. At least you can give me a sincere price, not to mention ten taels of silver, it¡¯s not even enough for the round-trip fare.¡±

    The old man didn't seem to be able to hear Xiuzhen's explanation at all, he just bit the word "ten taels" and said nothing else.

    Seeing the old man's resolute attitude, Xiuzhen knew that it would be useless to talk too much, so she had no choice but to come out of Luoji Oil Workshop.  Xiuzhen sighed and asked the helper, "Are there any other oil workshops in Shanyang?"

    The helper spread his hands and said: "These are the only three companies that are officially open. Some people squeeze oil for themselves, and they don't do oil mill business."

    When Xiuzhen heard this, she became discouraged. She had thought that the victory that was at hand was handed over like this.

    Xiuzhen thought about it left and right and was not convinced. Anyway, she also worked as the head of the oil factory for half a year, and the business was booming. Why did it not work in another place? She couldn't give up easily for the sake of face. Xiuzhen decided  Go to the market to try out the snacks.

    Parking the carriage in a crowded place, Xiuzhen shouted loudly: "Look, take a look, the high-quality oilseeds are cheap, big, dry, and plump, so the oil you squeeze out will be delicious!  "

    Xiuzhen yelled several times, but it attracted many spectators.

    A fair-skinned and beautiful young woman was standing on the street hawking, and no one wanted to come over to watch the excitement.

    People gathered around one after another. There were many people watching the excitement, but almost no one asked the price.

    Not long after, a man dressed in silk and a melon skin hat smiled and said to Xiuzhen: "Little lady, how do you sell your oil seeds?"

    When Xiuzhen heard a customer asking about the price, she happily replied: "One hundred catties is sixty taels of silver, and you can also sell it individually."

    The man said: "It's not expensive, are you responsible for delivering the goods to your door?"

    Xiuzhen nodded and said, "Send it, how much do you want, guest officer?"

    The man said: "I want as much as you have, and send it to my home!"

    Xiuzhen said: "You lead the way, I'll catch the car and take you there."

    The man said happily: "Then let's go, my house is far outside the city."

    Xiuzhen hurriedly said: "Okay, I'm leaving now, you can get in the car too!"

    At this moment, Zhang's servant kept winking at Xiuzhen, but Xiuzhen ignored it because she was too happy.?.

    When Xiuzhen raised her horsewhip and was about to leave, she was suddenly grabbed by someone. When Xiuzhen looked back, she realized that it was Zhongwen who held her.

    Xiuzhen asked in surprise: "Why are you dragging me, I'm about to deliver the goods, don't get in the way!"

    Zhongwen ignored Xiuzhen, but turned his head to the man in the melon skin hat and said, "You can deliver the goods to your door, first bring the sixty taels of silver, and we will deliver the goods right away."

    When the man saw Zhongwen standing in front of him like an iron tower, he immediately squeaked and couldn't speak. He twisted his body and was about to run away.

    Zhongwen quickly grabbed his clothes and said, "This guest officer, isn't he buying oil seeds? Why are you leaving?"

    The man struggled and said to Zhongwen: "I forgot to bring money when I went out today. I will buy it another day, another day!" After saying this, he turned around and ran away, and disappeared in a few moments.

    When Xiuzhen saw that the business had run away, she immediately panicked. She shouted at the man's back: "Guest officer, don't run away. It doesn't matter if you don't bring any money, you can give it to me when you get home!"

    Seeing Xiuzhen's anxious look, Zhongwen couldn't help laughing and said, "Stop yelling, can't a liar see it?"

    Xiuzhen stomped her feet angrily and said, "What liar, you drove all my guests away, pay me for it!"

    Zhongwen said angrily and amusedly: "It's him who wants to run away, so what's none of my business?" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
