Chapter 176 You take 70% and I take 30%
"Dad! Why are you still touching... up there?"
When he pointed out what he had done, Sang Yongjing felt a little embarrassed and wanted to scratch his head, but suddenly he remembered that he had just touched the corpse, so he quickly moved his hand away.
"I don't think about it. Since they are dead, we can just take away the valuables."
This idea came from the dagger he took out from the waist of the corpse.
Although it was only a small dagger, it was made of fine iron. Even if I sold it directly without keeping it for self-defense, it should be able to fetch 200 wen, which is not a small amount.
With the dagger in front of him and seeing Liu Mao also searching himself, he followed suit, hoping to find something valuable.
Even if you can't find it, it's worthwhile to just go to the stream and wash your hands a few more times.
What he said did make some sense. Sang Xingjia stood there and thought about it, then squatted back beside the body he had carried over and began to search it.
After searching for a while, he actually found a little over one or two taels of silver. This must have been the deposit Wang Chengping had given him, and since he hadn't spent it all yet, it was a good deal for him.
Sang Yongjing also dug out some small change, and the two of them grinned happily as they held the white silver, completely losing the fear they had shown when they saw the dead man.
Sang Yu, who was watching silently at the side, stepped forward and took away all the silver in their hands, including the dagger that Sang Yongjing had found earlier.
"Here are your spoils." She handed all the silver and dagger in her hand to Liu Mao.
Ultimately, today's incident was resolved so smoothly and appropriately thanks to Liu Mao's intervention. As the murderer, the items on these people should have been his spoils.
Liu Mao also looted some valuables from Wang Chengping and his wife. Seeing that she took the initiative to give him money, he looked up to her even more.
She doesn't panic when faced with major events, doesn't have selfish desires when faced with money, and is both brave and resourceful. If she were not a woman, if she were in the army, she would have been able to achieve great things.
"I'll take the money, but a dagger is enough." He didn't refuse, but just returned the black iron dagger.
He could have accepted the dagger and sold it for money, but he only said that one would be enough. It was obvious that he was trying to be nice to me and show his goodwill.
Sang Yu smiled and put away the dagger: "Thank you very much."
The group of four stayed by the stream for a long time. If they hadn't been concerned about Sang Yu, the Sang father and son would have wanted to take off their clothes and take a good bath in the stream.
When I returned to the official road, everything was still there, quietly placed as before.
The Sang family father and son picked up their buckets and bamboo baskets and climbed up the official road, preparing to return home. Liu Mao was also planning to return to the city to rest, but Sang Yu suddenly asked him, "Would you like to come to our house for dinner?"
He was about to refuse when he heard Sang Yu add, "It's a good opportunity to talk about the skewers business as well."
Although the Sang family father and son were puzzled as to why Sang Yu insisted on inviting this evil star home for dinner, no one dared to object.
Liu Mao had only heard of lumberyards and charcoal mills outside the city before, but he had never been there because he heard the wages were too low.
I came here with the Sang family today and was shocked by the scene in front of me.
Human power is so small that it may take one person several days to cut down a hundred-year-old tree; human power is so vast that if a group of people cut down trees, mountains and seas can be leveled.
When entering the canyon, Liu Mao was even more dazed. Does this village really exist?
Liu Mao followed Sang Yu all the way to the house on the mountain wall. After entering the yard and sitting down, he still couldn't come to his senses.
It’s not that the scenery of Qingxi Village is so beautiful that it can keep him lost in thought for so long.
He had never imagined that there was such a large village hidden in this area not too far from Lingnan City.
He was a native of Lingnan City. He was born and raised in Lingnan City, but he had never heard of such a large village. This was too strange.
Seeing that there were guests coming, Xie Qiujin and Mrs. Shi took their stools and moved to another place, and continued to busy themselves with sewing and mending.
The bedding had been prepared long ago. After being dried in the sun, the dry and fluffy reed fluff was stuffed into it, making it very comfortable to cover oneself with.
After earning some money, Sang Yu bought a few feet of cloth and asked the two elders to help make a quilt. It was okay to sleep on dry straw, but it was uncomfortable.
She and Liu Mao sat down in the pavilion. After the Sang family father and son put their things away, they also quietly sat aside.
"As for the skewers business, I believe you have seen how popular it is." Sang Yu didn't bother to talk nonsense with him and went straight to the point.
She invited him back not just to chat, nor just to do some business, but also to strengthen the concept of "alliance" between them.
There is friendship between people, but only between people with entangled interests can the friendship be truly long-lasting.
With the previous incident of "conspiracy to murder", it would be much easier to turn Liu Mao into his business partner now than before.
"I agreed with you earlier that I would give you 30% of the net profit as a dividend, but now I want to discuss changing that."
As soon as Sang Yu finished speaking, Liu Mao's expression changed slightly.
He thought that 30% profit was too high and Sang Yu might not fulfill his promise.
But her expression and tone when she did things before made him feel that she was trustworthy, but he didn't expect that he had overestimated her.
Noticing the change in his expression, Sang Yu continued calmly, "I want to switch with you. You take 70% and I take 30%."
These words were like thunder, shocking the other three people present and making their eyes widen at the same time.
Before Liu Mao could speak, Sang Yongjing was the first to dissuade him: "Yu'er, we only take 30%? Absolutely not!"
Liu Mao is not sure how much profit the skewers can make or how much money they can earn every day.
But he can. His favorite thing to do after closing his stall every day is to sit down and count money.
In just a few days, their family earned more than ten taels of silver. If they continued like this, they would soon be able to save up one hundred or one thousand taels. Becoming rich was just around the corner, so how could they let others rob them for no reason?
Sang Xingjia also wanted to persuade her at first, but he did not speak out in a hurry. He carefully observed Sang Yu's expression for a while.
Seeing her wise look, I suddenly felt that it didn't matter whether I persuaded her or not.
My younger sister has never been someone who can be easily influenced by others. She has her own reasons for doing things, and I believe today is no exception.
Sang Yu ignored Sang Yongjing's dissuasion and continued to stare at Liu Mao with burning eyes. After a brief silence, Liu Mao uttered two words: "Price?"
"I just like dealing with smart people," Sang Yu raised the corners of her lips and expressed her thoughts, "You will run the skewers business. You will be fully responsible for the ingredients and labor. I will give you the recipe."
Liu Mao's eyebrows were almost wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character, and he couldn't help asking: "Are you not afraid that I will run away?"
If the business and the recipe are handed over to him, then he can just kick Sang Yu away and do the skewers business himself without having to share 30% of the profits.
