Chapter 877: A Trip to India (5)

But I bought a lot of money, I bought it just to process it into canned food and dried fruits that can be put away, and fresh fruits can't be put away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoTian Liang selected sixty pro-soldiers to participate in the Battle of Fruits. Boiling boiled jars for sterilization, cleaning fruits, peeling and picking seeds, cutting into pieces, filling them into ceramic jars, weighing sugar and putting sugar, and steaming in the pot, were carried out in an orderly manner under the command of Tian Liang. Two hours is a group of people, and sixty pro-soldiers take turns to work and rest. By the afternoon of the next day, a mountain of rambutan had all turned into canned food and preserves.

Eating the fruit that his daughter bought, Fu Jin felt very uncomfortable. How can two children be so capable? How hard is that? Buy tens of thousands of pounds of fruit at once! Fortunately, Yun'er's mother and son have the ability, otherwise, they would have stared at it even for ten pounds, right?

"Come, grandma will give you a fresh fruit." Fu Jin was peeling the skin of the hair lychee while talking to Xue'er's dragon and phoenix fetus, "Come, this is a tuantuan, this is round." ”

"It's delicious, it's delicious, grandma. Did your father and mother buy this for you? Why haven't they come back? "The girl who looks like Xue'er is round and talking to her grandmother while eating rambutan.

People of all ages in the "Changshi Mansion" and the "Governor's Mansion" are also tasting the fruit rambutan from Nepal. Rambutan, also known as hairy lychee, is native to Malaysia and is a tropical perennial evergreen tree plant. It is also a famous tropical fruit, which is not suitable for cultivation in Daqing. It seems that the latitude and climate of Kunming may survive, but it will not work further north.

In Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor ate "hairy lychees" with relish. Because of Master Ganlin's three chapters, no one dared to ask why the fruits of Yunnan were so fresh when they arrived in the capital? But none of them doubted that this particularly delicious fruit would be poisonous. All food sent by the Rui Wangfu is exempt from inspection.

To the east from Bhutan is to pass through a stretch of Burma. At that time, there were no customs inspections, and there were two Indian royal businessmen, all the way to the green light. But the last time Xue'er tasted the sweetness of the woolen jadeite she bought in Yunnan, it would be cheaper to enter Myanmar, right? Xue'er didn't expect that others couldn't see the inside of the jadeite stone, and all the ones she bought were jadeite inside. If it's in modern times, it's going to be big.

Sure enough, the small towns here all have gambling stones. In fact, Xue'er is not a "gamble" at all, she doesn't need to take any risks to gamble, and there is no possibility of bankruptcy. It's to buy a few pieces of jadeite and take them back to cut them yourself, so it's good, but you haven't cut it yet, who knows if there are "dry goods" in it? Fortunately, there are many such stones in this era, and the price is not high, of course, much higher than granite. It's just that the stone is too heavy to pull much at a time, and Xue'er found that there is a stone against the wall, and the jade inside is very large. Then he came again the next day, and when he got there, he pointed to the shopkeeper and said, "This little brother, I want that piece." ”

The mouth of the "little brother" is like a scoop. But if the guest asks for it, he can't say that he won't move. But it's too heavy. In the local words of Burma: "This big brother is really not a human being who treats us as partners, who can hold such a big stone?" Besides, just look outside, and the inside is also a dead heart. ”

No one knew what he was talking about, so they ignored him. He was even more angry, shouting: "Are you really treating us as people? ”

The boss hurriedly came over, slapped him when he came up, and then smiled at Bing'er in Chinese: "The new guy can't speak, you understand." You're asking for this, aren't you? I'll get it for you. ”

He took it in his hand and shook it and said, "This brother, there can't be emerald in this stone." ”

Qing'er was angry that the guy was rude, and when she heard the boss say this, she answered: "Your gentleman is weird, isn't it up to us to buy the stone which stone to choose?" How do you know there's no emerald in there? ”

"Okay, good, the guest said that there is a cui, this stone is a hundred taels of silver."

If Bing'er hadn't pulled it, Qing'er would have started it. Is there such a thing for sale? Fang Cai also said that there was no emerald in it, and it would cost a hundred taels in such a while. There are also two taels of silver written on the wall, no matter the size of the stone, it will be two taels, and the price will rise fast enough. Bing'er said to Xue'er, "Forget it, let's not buy that." ”

Lady Kieran came up to the boss and said, "You're not bullying us newcomers, are you?" I heard that this stone costs a hundred taels? ”

"I want to take a gamble with these two. If there is emerald in it, no matter what emerald it is, as long as it is emerald, even if there is a piece of emerald the size of a little thumb, I will admit defeat and give the emerald white in this stone to these two. ”

"What do you mean? We're just buying you a stone, who's going to bet you? ”

"I'm here to gamble on stones, what are you doing when you don't gamble on stones? My son is also a young master, and he has been tossed by you for a long time. "I made trouble for a long time to vent my anger to my son. Xue'er waved her hand and said, "Forget it, we won't buy it." Stones are available and not necessarily bought at your home. ”

"No! I'm going to bet! If you lose your bet, give me a hundred taels of silver as compensation. ”

Qing'er grabbed him by the collar: "Are you slandering?" We don't owe you anything, so why should we give you a hundred taels? Are you poor and crazy? ”

Bing'er knows Cher's eyes, but can't say we see them. As soon as he saw that the boss was unrelenting, he said, "What if you lose?" Did you keep what you promised? ”

"Naturally! My Lao Tao said a mouthful of spit and a nail, if you win the bet, the jade will be taken away, and the gambling money of one hundred taels will also be paid by me. ”

A few stone pickers around him came over, stretched their necks one by one, and said to Xue'er: "Beautiful little brother, bet with him!" This old guy is a tendon. ”

Xue'er said: "We are Buddhist disciples, and we don't gamble with others or gamble money. If you think we are easy to bully, we don't have the same knowledge as you, Bing'er, let's go, it's no wonder that such people don't lose money when they do business. ”

"Okay, you're scolding me?" The boss could understand Bing'er Xue'er's words at all, or he was a Qingguo person at all, and he didn't know what evil he had committed, so he stood at the door all of a sudden, blocking Bing'er Xue'er's way, and grinned and threatened in fluent Chinese: "If you don't want to gamble, take a hundred taels of silver, and if you win the bet, take Cui away, and I will pay you a hundred taels." "He decided that there was no jade in the stone. He is also an old fritter, ten of the hundred rough stones are emerald, it is a miracle, these two little white faces buy the rough stone with a finger, it must be too much money to burn. Even if you mix on the field, you are a mallet, and if you don't fool him, you are a fool.

As soon as this shouted, there were even more people around. I was afraid that my life would not be lively, so I coaxed: "Boss Liu, forget it, these two people are not gambling stones at all, aren't you bullying people by doing this?" ”

"Hey, hey! Boss Liu, you're so uninteresting! What kind of ability is it to bully young freshmen? Tell you, they are my friends, and if you offend them, it's not a joke. "Mrs. Ashmita appeared.

"Yo, isn't this the envoy's wife? Come to the treasure land, never welcome ......"

"Okay, okay, what's going on? If I don't work hard for a while, you're bullying people? ”

"No, no, just kidding, the two said that there was emerald in this stone, and I said to bet, but they didn't bet."

"Whether people gamble or not is someone's business, is there anyone who forces people to gamble on stones?"

"I look like the son of a big family, and I will be strained as soon as I go into battle."

"You're just straining! People are too lazy to pay attention to you, you know? You're too small to be qualified. "Ashmita looks like a shrew. With his hands on his hips, his eyes were wide open, and he had a desperate posture.

After a while, he smiled: "Xue'er, buy which piece you like, he doesn't dare to mess with me." ”

"I still want that piece, the one against the wall."

"It doesn't matter, take which piece you like, man! Come over here and move over there. "This one is very righteous.

Xue'er picked out ten pieces and stopped: "Enough is enough, this thing is too heavy." ”

"Okay, okay, it's just ten dollars, right? How much silver? ”

"A total of twenty taels, two taels of silver, the price is written over there, and the boss insists that I take one hundred taels of silver."

"Huh? One hundred taels, you are so black-hearted from Shopkeeper Liu, your stone is made of gold? Ignore him, the silver will fall in his face! I'll clean him up. Man, load the rocks into the truck! ”

The next day, the two Indian ladies went to meet friends again, and Bing'er Xue'er touched more than 20 small rough stones in other stone yards, and then stopped buying them. At night, let the little lady be transported away by air. When a few people left Burma and entered Yunnan, Ashmita remembered the original stone, stomped his feet and said, "I forgot it, I forgot it in the inn, and I spent twenty taels of silver in vain." "She also bought the stone because of Xue'er's anger with Shopkeeper Liu, so she didn't want it.

Xue'er suddenly remembered, can the woolen jade stone she bought be carried back by Xiao Eniang to be processed in the environment of the Qing Dynasty? After discussing with Yun'er, Yun'er agreed, which reduced a lot of trouble for Xue'er. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has craftsmen who specialize in processing jadeite, as well as special tools, although it is not as sophisticated as the processing equipment of exotic countries, and it is much better than carrying jadeite with you.

Finally back to Yunnan and Kunming! Bing'er Xue'er has a special affection for Yunnan, although it is not her hometown or the bustling capital, she has a dream-like feeling.

The first thing he did when he came back was to find Bing'er's father, Zhao Tieyan. I really want to know from him about the situation in Kunming, that is, the situation of Wu Sangui. Xue'er knew the exact location of her father-in-law's troops through the canopy, and then the two of them brought a lot of fruits and snacks and hired two cars to Tie Yan's station. He inquired in detail about the withdrawal of the feudal domain and the recent situation of Wu Sangui. Tie Yan told them that Wu Sangui had died of illness in Hengyang, and his grandson Wu Shicong was struggling to breathe, and he couldn't bless for long. It is estimated that as soon as the battle of withdrawing the feudal domain is over, the emperor will have a holy decree for him to return to Beijing. Now there is no war to fight here, and it is resting.

The situation has completely reversed, and all that remains is for the people of Yunnan to rebuild their homes. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bing'er and Xue'er can purchase goods freely, in addition to fruits, gemstones, and other specialties of Yunnan, such as spices, medicinal materials, flowers, gold, silver and jade, shawls, homespun cloth, tie-dye, leather goods, tapestries, Naxi murals, Lijiang wine and so on. Bing'er Xue'er's procurement focuses on gemstones, spices, medicinal herbs, fruits, and flowers. Now there are several flower shops in the house, and they are franchised flower shops.

When Master came, Master Gan Lin took Bing'er and Xue'er to a hill outside the inn and talked alone: "Starting tomorrow, you will purchase the last batch of goods in Yunnan and spend all the money in your hands. ”

"Are we out of business?"

"You two don't have to do business anymore, because your business mission has been successfully accomplished."

"What does Master mean ......"

"Being a teacher means that your business mission has been successfully accomplished, and your mistakes in Heaven have been completely corrected. You yourselves know that the love, the riches, the riches, the treasures, the gold, the silver, and the jade have no attraction to you. You only have to pay and work hard, and nothing can move your heart. Therefore, your cultivation has been successfully completed, and the teacher will soon take you back to the heavenly world to continue to be your ice and snow boys. But you still have to go home and take one last test. Then the teacher will take you back. This is also a heavenly machine, right? You also have to do something to deal with the aftermath, that is, continue to buy the specialties of each province on the way home. Now is the time when the price of fruit is at its lowest, so if you buy it, let your little lady move it back. One day after you return home, the teacher will pick you up. Now the teacher is going to see your father, and he will soon return to the capital. After you settle the affairs of Yunnan clearly, you will go from Guangxi to Guangdong, and then to Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, and Zhili back to the capital. Don't be cranky, don't do anything wrong, keep your peace of mind, you know? You still have one more level to pass. ”

"Thank you, Master."

They still have a lot of money in their hands, but they still have a long way to go, and they can't spend it all at once, and they still have to live in a hotel and eat. After buying the last batch of goods in Yunnan and letting Xiao Eniang carry them back to her home by air, Xue'er Bing'er and her entourage followed the route said by the master, and the next stop was to settle down in Nanning, Guangxi. Originally, I thought that Yunnan was relatively wealthy, because Yunnan's climate was good. When I arrived in Guangxi, the fruits of Guangxi were not inferior to Yunnan: Luo Han Guo, Sha Tin pomelo, lychee, banana, Guangxi citrus, Rong'an kumquat, jackapple, pineapple, longan, Tianyang mango, hawthorn, mountain grape, Gongcheng persimmon, yellow peel fruit, Guanyang red date, almond, kiwi ...... That's a lot of samples. There are also all kinds of mushrooms, teas, spices, Chinese herbal medicines, spices, seafood, handicrafts, too many!

After trying to buy a few, I contacted the small Eniang, and some of them were shipped back by air to taste first, and then the small Eniang found the recipe to make it, and began to buy it back in large quantities

During this period, they also performed many Wuqiao acrobatics, dances, and illusions, which caused a sensation in Guangxi. Bing'er Xue'er performed for the outline and Shi Qing. The two of them just want to make money through performances and then go home to live a stable life. Bing'er Xue'er didn't even have the concept of a business mission in her mind. Just going with the flow, there is no sense of urgency to do as much as you can before, and there is no excitement about how much money you have saved by buying something. It seems that my heart is very calm, so calm that there are no ripples at all.

From Guangxi to Guangdong, then to Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Zhili and finally back to Beijing, it took eight months. Along the way, they are performing while buying goods, and what Bing'er Xue'er does is not affected, she will perform if she wants to perform, and she will buy goods if she wants to buy goods. When I go to a place, I look for the specialty of this place, and then buy it in batches, and let the small lady fly it back when I buy it, and I don't leave anything in my hand.

Outline and Shi Qing also quietly started to do business, but they did not have the conditions for air transportation, but sold what they bought from Zhejiang in Shandong, and what they bought from Jiangsu in Zhili. They didn't know that this was their last trip to Yunnan, and it didn't matter if they didn't have a prediction function.
