Two groups of people are old acquaintances, and the meaning of "acquaintance" not only refers to friends, but also can be interpreted as enemies.

Send a spy to spy on the secret recipe of the pottery kiln. Is this kind of behavior considered an enemy?

For Gu Qing, it is not necessarily true. Gu Qing understands human nature, including himself, and it is not worth making a fuss about doing anything for the sake of profit.

As for Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing, Gu Qing's attitude was to wait and see.

He allowed anyone around him to make mistakes, but the premise was that if he made a mistake, he would correct him. Only those who did not repent would become his true enemy.

Now Gu Qing is waiting for the two businessmen to show his attitude. Whether to sincerely admit his mistake or never repent when entering the village today, their attitude determines Gu Qing's attitude.

Shi Daxing and Hao Donglai walked very fast. The mountain road was rugged and long. The two walked sweating profusely, cursing while walking, as if they were quarreling. The followers they each followed behind and walked with their heads down, and they did not dare to interfere with the fight between gods and immortals.

Gu Qing smiled and greeted them, bowed to them: "It was a coincidence that the two shopkeepers came, I just had a meal."

Shi Daxing:???

Hao Donglai was very calm. He knew what Gu Qing meant, "Come on the right track" means that fortunately he had eaten.

"Oh, Young Master, I haven't seen you for a day, it's like three autumns after another, I really want to ruin me!" Hao Donglai came forward enthusiastically, and a round fat man smiled seriously. His affinity was extraordinary, and it was loved by everyone. It made people feel great. I wish I could write his name on the tablet, and three incense sticks every day to show my love.

Shi Daxing cursed shamelessly and smiled and greeted him.

Gu Qing said curiously: "Why did the two shopkeepers suddenly come here? Is there anything wrong?"

The two were stunned. Why did we suddenly come over? Don’t you know what to do?

After carefully looking at Gu Qing's face, he could not see any clues. Gu Qing looked as if nothing had happened. His innocent and confused expression even gave the two people an illusion that their friend's broken legs had nothing to do with Gu Qing, and the real murderer was someone else.

"Uh, did nothing happen to Mr. Shao last night?" Hao Donglai's eyes flashed and he asked tentatively.

Gu Qing smiled and said, "What do you want me to happen to?"

"Of course I don't want it. Shopkeeper Shi and I have always hoped that Young Man will be free from illness and disasters, and that our pottery kiln will last forever."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Then it's okay."

Hao Donglai looked shocked and suspicious, and quickly glanced at Shi Daxing.

Shi Daxing was obviously not so calm, and he was more open and honest than Hao Donglai. Seeing the two of them going around like a mystery, Shi Daxing became impatient and stepped forward and shouted: "Young man, no secret words are spoken. I did something shameful last night and I was sorry for you. I was not particular about it. I was wrong. I am here to apologize to you today."

Gu Qing was quite surprised. He thought he had to practice Tai Chi with them to make the words clear, but he didn't expect Shi Daxing to say it first.

Although a villain is a villain, he is a bargain in his life and work. Well, although this person's integrity was bitten by a few bites by a dog, at least a little left.

As for Hao Donglai, the thing about integrity has probably never been long.

Seeing that Shi Daxing admitted his mistake, Hao Donglai finally had no choice but to sigh, "Yes, I did something unrelated last night, and I came to apologize to the young man today."

Gu Qing smiled, his eyes patrolled back and forth across the faces of the two, and said slowly: "Two shopkeepers, two expensive guys, are their legs okay? They won't be disabled for life, right?"

Hao Donglai squeezed out an ugly smile: "The doctor has seen it, but it's just a fracture. I'll be able to keep it for a few days and will not be disabled."

Gu Qing said, "To be honest, it doesn't matter whether you admit your mistakes or not, because I don't trust you anymore. After our cooperation, I have chosen two smart villagers. They set off in the afternoon to find other merchants to cooperate with. Of course, we must find merchants who are richer and more powerful than you and you can't afford to offend. I don't believe that if I don't have any pottery kilns, you can't continue to open them."

The two were shocked.

If their mistakes were forced to be due to the situation and still had malice in their hearts, Gu Qing was really anxious to say these words, because Gu Qing wanted to kick them out, which really touched their interests.

"Young man thinks twice!" Hao Donglai's voice changed so anxiously.

Shi Daxing said with an ugly expression: "Why do you have to do this for a young man? We swear that we will never have a second thought from now on. It is better to be familiar with it than to be a good person. He invited a businessman from Shuzhou to come over. Who can guarantee that he is not a bad person?"

Gu Qing sneered: "I have little experience in business, but this is the first time I saw my partner trashing. I really don't know if you are really stupid or fake, or you haven't found out about my character before? I'm a person who would rather be shattered than a complete one. Even if you really steal my secret recipe for burning kilns, guess what I will do?"

Gu Qing grinned and said, "I will immediately publicize the secret recipe so that all businessmen can know the secret recipe. Since I can't play it, you don't want to make a profit. If you steal the secret recipe, you can just take it alone? Haha, it's so naive."

The two of them became colder and colder when they heard this.

Hao Donglai quickly glanced at Shi Daxing, and the two of them had wry smiles on their faces.

Yes, this step was wrong. They really underestimated the young man. Although he was young, he was very skilled in dealing with people and was decisive and flawless. This time he was completely defeated.

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing exchanged gazes, and the two bowed to Gu Qing at the same time. Shi Daxing said sincerely: "Young Lord, we really know that we are wrong. I hope you will not be grateful and tolerant. We swear by clan surnames that we will never have any other intentions. If you violate it, God will punish you."

Due to the importance that ancient people attached to their ancestors, this oath was very serious and sincere.

Gu Qing actually wanted to change the businessman he cooperated with, but he was not sure if the new businessman he exchanged for was worse and more ambitious.

Although the two people in front of him were not upright, they could at least temporarily suppress them. In the final analysis, Gu Qing had not achieved his wings, had no power, no power, no connections, and even if he had a slut with the tiger, he would have to force him.

After pondering for a while, Gu Qing slowly said: "Only this time, there is no next time. Two of you, making money steadily is the right way. Too much greed, you often gain nothing. You are businessmen, and you know the principle of benefiting both sides more than me."

The two of them should be.

Gu Qing smiled: "Since you are here, let's work together officially. The pottery kiln has recently produced more than 2,000 pieces of various pottery and can be transported into Qingcheng County. I have finished the part I need to do. Next, it depends on how much money you can help me earn."

…………

Shiqiao Village seems to have undergone some subtle changes.

What changes is not the landscape architecture, but people.

The smiles on the villagers gradually increased, and their lives seemed to be different from before. After Gu Qing burned several batches of pottery in the pottery kiln, the villagers were shocked to realize that their lives were getting better and better.

Men can occasionally eat a meal of meat, and women and children have the confidence to bargain with the peddler, and finally proudly discharge a few cents from their palms and exchange them for a few feet of coarse cloth to make new clothes.
