Chapter 427 - Reward
Wang Yongfu’s heart was still unsettled. He nodded and, apologizing to everyone, tidied up. The two brothers carried the mountain goods into the courtyard, with Wang Yongzhu following behind and closing the gate.
The onlookers, seeing that the excitement was over, looked at each other and gradually dispersed.
Once inside the courtyard, Wang Yongfu grasped Wang Yonggui’s hand with a look of shame on his face. "Laosan, we owe you big time today. If we had taken this batch of goods in, our family would have lost several taels of silver for nothing, not to mention, if the goods had been delivered to Boss Zhang’s place and the deception had been discovered, our family would have been..."
Thinking of the consequences, Wang Yongfu broke out in a cold sweat.
Jindou and Jinhu hurried to thank Wang Yonggui, with Jinhu asking curiously, "Uncle San, how did you come to know all these tricks? That man ran away, and the goods weren’t cleaned up properly, so I secretly kept a piece and have been examining it for a long time. How come I can’t see the trick? Uncle San, can you teach us?"
With a carefree attitude, Wang Yonggui replied, "What’s the big deal? These are just some leftovers from the old days when I was playing outside. Back then, when I was short on silver coin with some brothers, we also did this kind of thing. There’s a lot to learn here. Bring the stuff over, and I’ll explain..."
As he spoke, he took the mountain goods that Jinhu had hidden, which had been smoked with some substance, and explained in detail to everyone.
He talked about various deceptions, like switching the real with the fake, or the method of using drugs to smoke or soak goods, in such detail that not only Jindou and Jinhu were baffled, but even Wang Yongzhu and Wang Yongfu were engrossed in the explanation.
They had not realized that counterfeiting could involve so many different techniques.
