TOP ASSASSIN RETIRES AND BECOMES A FARMER AFTER TIME TRAVELING TO THE PAST

101-120

Chapter 101
The normal price of soda ash was 500 wen per catty, but this guy directly asked for 2 taels, he really was asking for an exorbitant price.

However, Huang Daoqing had stockpiled so much soda ash, and came to her specifically to sell it, which showed that he had not yet found a way to make soap.

"Too expensive, I don't want it."

"Expensive?" Huang Daoqing sneered, "Miss Li, don't you know what the situation is now? All the soda ash in the entire Yizhou Prefecture is in my hands. If you don't buy it from me, your soap workshop can only wait to close down. But seeing that you have good faith, I can give it to you for 1 tael and 5 wen per catty. Miss this village, then miss this shop."

"I don't want it."

Li Yao turned around and left. She didn't really take him as a fool.

Huang Daoqing, who was originally full of confidence, was refused rudely at the door, and couldn't help feeling annoyed.

"Unappreciative wretch!"

"Master, don't worry," Xiao Quanzi said, "With Prefect Hu watching, soda ash from other places can't come in. Unless her workshop closes down, she can only buy from us. In a few more days, she will come looking for us!"

Huang Daoqing snorted, by that time he would sell it to her for 3 taels of silver per catty!

But after a few days, Li Yao still hadn't come to Huang Daoqing.

He had hoarded all the soda ash in Yizhou Prefecture, which had cost him 4500 taels of silver. Plus greasing Prefect Hu's palm, the total was 5000 taels!

So much money invested, but he still didn't see any return. He couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

He sent Xiao Quanzi to investigate He Wan Village, only to find out that Li Yao's soap workshop was operating daily, and the output of soap was not small.

This news made Huang Daoqing break out in a cold sweat: "Where is she getting the soda ash?"

"Maybe it's her previous stockpile," Xiao Quanzi didn't seem to realize the severity of the situation, and casually replied, "When her inventory runs out, she will definitely come looking for us."

Really?

Then wait a few more days.

Another ten days passed, the soap workshop was still operating daily, and the output seemed to have not decreased at all.

Huang Daoqing could no longer sit still. He took a carriage to He Wan Village, wanting to find out what was going on.

"Making soda ash herself?"

"At least 20 catties a day?"

Huang Daoqing was suddenly dumbfounded. UppTodat𝒆d fr𝒐m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

It's over, it's over, now it's really over.

How could he have thought that Li Yao would have this up her sleeve?

If Li Yao makes her own soda ash from now on, wouldn't what he had hoarded be wasted?

"No, this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise I will definitely lose money."

Realizing this, Huang Daoqing immediately informed Prefect Hu about the matter. Prefect Hu also attached great importance to it. After all, he could also get a lot of silver after the deed was done. So he sent people to Baichuan County.

...

"Mother, Madam magistrate, Magistrate Song is here!"

Li Yao was having tea and chatting with the magistrate's wife when three carriages had already passed through the gate and stopped in Li Yao's yard.
