Chapter 876: A Trip to India (4)
So it's ready to return. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Bing'er and Xue'er first sent the things they didn't need, such as musical instruments, Xiaobai Xiaohuang, etc., back to the house by air, and bought a lot of Indian fruits, spices, medicinal herbs, cotton, and grain in a few days, which were transported back by Xiaoeniang. Because Ashmita lives in the city, Bing'er Xue'er contacted Yun'er to ship things back to the house as soon as she bought something, and Ashmita didn't know that Bing'er Xue'er was doing a bigger business, and even they were confused. During this period, Xue'er bought a lot of souvenirs for the outline and Shi Qing that the Qing Dynasty didn't have or goods that could make money when they went back, and they couldn't patronize themselves, so they went back empty-handed, and moved the outline and Shi Qing enough: Even if it's a brother, no one can do this to them, right? Why is this Princess Cher so broad-minded? And what kind of blessing is Bing'er? found such a beautiful and kind-hearted good daughter-in-law.
Ashmita and Mrs. Kieran prepared a large number of goods to sell in the coastal areas of the Qing Dynasty, and they had to cross the Grand Canyon in Kathmandu in Nepal, through Bangladesh, Bhutan, Burma, and north to Sichuan. It was in order to avoid Wu Sangui that he specially took this road, hoping that Bing'er Xue'er could send them out of the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal and return to Yunnan, and someone would pick them up when they arrived in Sichuan. Bing'er Xue'er agreed to their request, after all, this long time in India was a troublesome time. Moreover, Bing'er Xue'er heard that gemstones in Nepal are very cheap, and she wants to buy some small pieces of gemstones to make jewelry when she passes through Nepal, which is easy to sell. I also heard that Nepal's climate is peculiar due to its topography.
The distance from New Delhi to Kathmandu is not particularly far, but it is full of overlapping mountains, clouds, sparse population, and many poisonous snakes and beasts. There is a secret passage that has been opened for hundreds or thousands of years, and can directly enter Yunnan Province of the Qing Dynasty. But this passage has been entrenched and occupied by bandits who cut the path. They either do it for the purpose of killing people or asking for money. Most of the people who pass by here bring precious stones, spices, medicinal herbs and other valuable things from India or Nepal, so why bother to sell them yourself?
Ashmita and Mrs. Kieran are truly heroines. Every year, in the spring and autumn, it is necessary to go to the major cities of the Qing Dynasty to sell, and more to bring gems to the capital, which can get more than ten times or dozens of times the profit. After all, this Kathmandu valley is not something that anyone can cross over.
Bing'er and Xue'er also bought new carriages and horses in India, loaded a lot of Indian goods. The exotic rainproof silk tarpaulin and canvas raincoat sent by the little lady over the air solved the big problem of sheltering from the rain for them. Even the two Indian ladies borrowed their light and did not get wet and moldy. If they don't buy anything, they'll be seen as an outlier.
In Nepal, two Indian ladies, Bing'er and Cher', bought a lot of small gemstones on scales. Very small, small, but not a bit fake. These gemstones are used in jewelry. In the end, it is really domineering enough to do business for the Indian royal family, directly find a jeweler, and buy gems in boxes. They put the gems under the carriages and sewed them on the people, and even the spaces in the harnesses and in the mroughs where the horses grazed, and the places where they could hide were full of gems. They tell Bing'er and Xue'er that there are three bands of robbers on the road. It's all about grabbing gems, and as long as you don't resist, your life is not in danger. Lucky enough to escape the robbers' search, the remaining gems can also make money in the interior of the Qing Kingdom. Not to mention, the two Indian ladies have been on this road for more than ten years, and a lot of money has been robbed, but there is no danger to their lives, and they have not been robbed. Maybe it's a fluke.
In the Great River Valley of Kathmandu, they really encountered robbers, including Bing'er Xue'er, of course. There were about forty or fifty robbers. It seems that people from every country have it, because the clothes are very messy, and they wear everything, and they are all strong men. They knew that the robbers had all come from the Nepal Gem Road, and they must have brought gems with them.
Among them, there is a Qing Guo man with braids, who is the leader of these people, and he speaks fluently in Beijing films: "Yo ho, how are you all?" A few of our brothers will give you a greeting of the early years. "Saying that, he also hit a thousand children, which is humorous enough.
It was instructed in advance that women were not allowed to show their heads. Bing'er stepped forward to deal with these robbers: "Bosses have worked hard, give way to the road, and we will be okay." "This one, even more humorous.
What do you bosses do? Let him starve to death if you pass by casually. You have to pluck a few goose feathers, right?
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, this little brother, haven't you heard that someone gives a red envelope for New Year's greetings?"
"I've heard of it, I've heard of it. But it's spring now, and it's far away from the New Year. Besides, the red envelope is for the younger generation, and the eldest is probably older than the next two ages, so it doesn't seem appropriate to give you red envelopes, right? ā
"Hey! Scolding without swearing, treating us as grandchildren? Brother, guys, it's a pity that this little white face is killed, and it's not bad to go back and be a male pet. Hey, what's in the collar? Caterpillars? "This one, I don't care what kind of age I have, and I began to grab it all over my body. There are a lot of mosquitoes in this place, there are still many trees, and some spiders and poisonous snakes will appear at any time, so I can't imagine that Bing'er got it.
Bing'er's "caterpillar offensive" began. This time, the two Indian ladies got close, and clearly saw the embarrassed faces of the robbers, scratching their ears and cheeks one by one, and scratching their cheeks like monkeys, and pulling down their clothes in broad daylight. It's not that they're not ashamed, it's too itchy. The taste of itchiness is not better than pain! What kind of insect is this, crawling and biting. The one who beat Qian'er before couldn't laugh anymore, and it seemed that he still knew how to recite a little bit and went to the grove in front to undress. As soon as he took off his pants, he looked up and saw that it was a big wolf, and the wolf's head was on his head, and he was stunned.
Why is it supposed to be a plateau climate here? Behind him is the Himalayas, which may be more than 3,000 meters above sea level, so it is naturally a little hypoxic. So if you want to escape, you can't run fast. One by one, they really cried wolves, shouting for help, shouting for their parents, and some of them were incontinent, and some simply lay on the ground and pretended to be dead. Bing'er's convoy swaggered past in front of the robbers, and there was no shadow to be seen, the animals were gone, and the body was no longer itchy.
The bandit leader was angry, and he raised his big knife: "Rush up for me!" Oops, why is it itching again? Could it be that little white face? Is it that the mountain god has appeared? Kowtow, kowtow to me, not to me, but to the mountain god, face forward, kowtow! ā
Bing'er, who had walked a long way, laughed. The heart said, why does this person always want to come to the ready-made? He will ask for what people pay for nothing, and then he may give you a knife.
After a short journey through Tibet, Bing'er Xue'er saw that the blankets and medicinal herbs here were good. Buy some, just buy it. How did they know that the blankets in Tibet are all pure wool and of very good quality. And the pattern on it is very classical, magnificent, even if it is used in the Forbidden City, it is also qualified. Because of the long distance, there are few Tibetan blankets in the capital. But its reputation is very loud, and whoever wants a Tibetan blanket is also the capital of bragging.
Xue'er bought 100 Tibetan blankets, and asked Xiaoeniang to transport back 60 by air, and put the rest in the car, otherwise everyone knew that they had bought blankets, why did they suddenly disappear?
When Fu Jin saw the high-quality blanket sent by his daughter and son-in-law, he couldn't put it down. The blankets I bought this time are Ama's, Xiaoniang's, Grandpa's, Uncle's aunt and cousin's (Hui Gege can't be called Aunt). There are also eldest brother Xuan and five sisters-in-law, younger brothers and sisters, their own, as well as the commander's wife, Ruiqian's uncle, and Zhou's uncle's grandfather. It's also normal to buy some gifts for your loved ones.
The two Indian ladies refused to leave Bing'er, even if Bing'er went around from here and then back to India, they followed! This time both of them decided not to go back to India, they came back to make a settlement. Ashmita bought a villa for his son, who is now with his father in the capital, and will have to have his own house when he returns to India to get married. Kieran and other youngest daughters get married, and Indian girls all marry early, and it is normal for them to marry at the age of twelve or thirteen. That year, Kiran followed another caravan to Kunming, met robbers on the way, the men took up arms and fought with the robbers, she took advantage of the chaos to ride a horse that I don't know whose it was, just got on the horse, the horse's buttocks were stabbed by the robbers, the horse was frightened, and ran wildly, Kieran was thrown down when the horse was galloping, fell into a pit buried by artemisia grass, and fainted for several days before waking up. Count her fate, ran into the next caravan, and followed the family to Kunming. She has a house in Kunming, because she was injured and one arm was unable to move, so she has been in Kunming, and her husband has gradually neglected and alienated her. There are several women out there, several in the house, and she is the forgotten corner. Although she was very reluctant to go into business, she had to do business, and if she didn't do business, she wouldn't have money, and if she didn't have money, she couldn't support herself, so she risked her life several times to pour spices from India, gems from Nepal, and blankets from Tibet, and became rich. I have bought an inconspicuous courtyard house in the capital of the Qing Kingdom, and I will enjoy my old age there when I am old. The two Indian ladies never dreamed that they would be lucky enough to pull all their possessions out, and their gratitude to Bing'er and Xue'er cannot be expressed in words.
When I walked out of the Great Valley of Kathmandu, it was already half a month later. After a few days of rest, he entered the territory of Bhutan. Fortunately, the two Indian ladies were royal businessmen of the Indian royal family, and they were treated by the royal family when they entered Bhutan. Bing'er Xue'er and her gang followed to eat and drink spicy food. In Bhutan, Ashmita introduced Bing'er and her entourage to the fruit here, Mao Lychee, also known as rambutan. The taste is sweet and sour, and in addition to being eaten fresh, it can also be made into candied fruit and jam. Xue'er thinks it's good to make jelly, and I guess it's okay to make wine. The taste is very similar to lychee, but also a bit like grapes.
The two Indian ladies had the potential to be diplomats and had friends in Bhutan, and they said they would visit their friends, so they left Bing'er and the others at the inn. The sky was still bright, and Bing'er Xue'er couldn't stay idle, so she went to the street to find rambutan. If you can buy more, buy more, and let the small lady air it back to the house for everyone to taste. I bought a hundred catties first, so that the masters and subordinates of the house could taste it. He also told Xiao Eniang that this fruit can also be used for preserves, jams, jelly, wine, and canned food. The little lady replied: "If you can buy more, buy more." ā
So Bing'er Xue'er took Qing'er and hired a car to a store specializing in rambutan, although the language barrier can be compared with your hands, I really don't know that such a delicious fruit is so cheap. The owner of the inn can't wait to sell all the fruit in his hand to Bing'er. Fruit is a very perishable thing, and they don't know the depth when they buy it, or it may be that people give too much, so it is almost a pleading tone for Bing'er Xue'er to buy it quickly, and the price can't help but decrease. It also promises to deliver to your home without shipping. This is translated by a Chinese-speaking job in the store, and Xue'er contacted Xiao Eniang in advance:
"Eniang, we are in the fruit warehouse now, there are a lot of rambutan, and other fruits, very cheap, if you buy more, can you transport them over?"
"No problem, your younger brothers and sisters have the ability to carry by air, the three of us work together, you can buy as much as you can. Two large-scale storage cold cellars have been newly built in our house, and fruits can be stored for half a month. After half a month, it should be sold, and the rest will be processed into candied fruit or something. Is there enough silver? Where are you now? ā
"We're in Bhutan, we've left India, we're in Nepal, and we still have enough money."
"You kids are still wild, what are you doing running so far? Why don't you go home, your mother is very worried about you. You too, just throw the two children away, and when you come back, they won't recognize you. ā
"It's okay, there are so many people in the house, they won't eat a little grievance. So we'll make an agreement with the boss here on how much it will cost, and then ask you and your younger siblings to ship it back in the evening? ā
"Okay, just get where you live and give me an address."
As soon as Bing'er came forward to talk to the boss's little guy, how much did he want, and the little guy discussed with the boss if he could give some discounts? This person seems to be from the Qing Dynasty, and he probably came to Nepal because of what happened to him.
The boss didn't say a word and reduced the price by 20%, and sent it to the inn where Bing'er lived. Bing'er and the others packed a yard, and everyone stacked the fruit baskets in the middle of the yard, covered them with tarpaulins that could keep out the rain, and went back to the house to rest. Bing'er asked Qing'er to send a basket of rambutan to Ming Ming and Xiao Liuzi Xiaolinzi's room, and another basket to the outline and Shi Qing's room so that everyone could eat more fruit to defeat the fire, of course, Qing'er couldn't fall there. Xue'er's room had already been contacted by Xiao Eniang, and she was transported away without any movement. Of course, I will also leave some for you, and there are two Indian ladies. After making sure that Xiao Eniang received it, Xue'er washed up with peace of mind and then rested.
Rui Wangfu, Bing'er and Xue'er's goods became even busier as soon as they arrived, and the prince ordered Suo Qing to select his own soldiers who were in good health, fight at night with lanterns, and make rambutan into cans and store them in the cold cellar. It can be sold in half a month. Of course, some were reserved for the people in the palace, for the queen mother, the emperor and the royal family, the ministers, the concubines, the princes and princesses, and the princesses who married and did not leave Beijing. I have to worship it, but fortunately, it's not expensive. These people are not on the street, the purchase and people in the house are often on the street, if you know that it is from the Rui Wangfu, then there should be complaints, at least it will be said that the six relatives of the prince will not recognize it and will only stamper with the emperor. Let them do things for fear of hard work, and let them pick gifts without negotiation.
