Chapter 411: Trade Route Exploration
This night, the three of them drank until midnight, the bright moon like a silver plate rose into the sky from the place where the sea and the sky met, and Rao Xuekong heard the low sigh of the two men around him at the same time.
Her heart was slightly sour.
Han stood up and walked to his cabin with swaying steps.
As soon as he left, Jin Xiaohan buried his head in Rao Xuekong's arms, hugged her, and whispered: "Ten years, all these changes were ten years ago, ten years ago the old man was almost leaving, he said that he was going to do something. ”
And all these changes in the Blue Bead Country are related to Middle-earth, and Zaram is the national teacher of the Blue Bead, so it is not difficult to speculate about something between the two.
Rao Xuekong's hand caressed the top of his head, and he was silent for a moment, and said: "No matter which country will have different political opinions, perhaps, your master just wants the culture and economy of the Blue Bead Country to be in line with Middle-earth, and all aspects can be developed, which does not mean that it is his idea to invade Middle-earth." Also, although Dun Ying may really be his apprentice, you also know that not all apprentices are loyal to the master. ”
Jin Xiaohan raised his head, reached out to touch her face, and smiled slightly: "Well, you're right. ”
In the early morning, they were woken up by the sound of seabirds.
The ship was docked again, and Anderson was already waiting at the dock with a few wagons.
Ye Pozi and the others were arranged by Qingqing and Changsheng last night to pack the things they were going to take away, but now they just moved them down and carried them into the car and loaded them.
Jin Xiaohan and the others brought Changsheng Qingqing and Ye Pozi and four subordinates, and Qing San, Qing Wu and others followed in the dark.
There were eight carriages in total. Mighty on the road. And the Breaking Waves also traveled by water, moving in the same direction as them.
Although the Blue Pearl Country is an island country, its area is not small, although it is far less than that of Middle Earth, but as far as they have been walking for a few days, the sea breeze coconut groves everywhere are rich in products, and the national strength is really not weak.
On this day they arrived in another town. This town is bigger and more prosperous than the few towns it has passed before. As soon as she arrived, Anleck told Rao that there was a friend of his in the town, and that this friend was making and selling things that might be of interest to her. Rao Xuekong naturally wanted to take a look.
Before leaving, Anrecks had already arranged for them to live. Changsheng and the others went to the inn first to settle down, and Rao Xuekong took Qingqing and two senior bodyguards to follow An Lishi.
This town is very clean, there is no weed on the road, but there are shops and stalls on the side of the road, which are neat and planned. Even the buildings are in a similar style.
There are neat fruit trees planted on the roadside. Some children are holding long bamboo poles and hooking fruit on trees.
That friend of Ann & Brown had a very large house. The street facing the house was designed as a shop, and there were a lot of things wrapped in oiled paper, and small notes were written on the oiled paper wrappers.
A middle-aged man with slightly curly brown hair is looking at a guest.
Anleck said to Rao Xuekong: "This is my friend. Goode. ”
Goode was very happy to see Anlis, strode over and gave him a big hug: "Hey, Anle, didn't you say that you won't come out if you marry a wife?" I thought it would be a long time since I saw you. ”
"Hey, I'm having a job, a job. Come, Good, I have met my new owner, they are from Zhongtu Dayu, this is Jin Gongzi, Han Gongzi, this is Mrs. Jin. ”
Goode looked at them in surprise, and after a while, he seemed to react, and immediately went to shake Rao Xuekong's hand to kiss the back of her hand: "Welcome to distant guests!" ”
Before he finished speaking, Rao Xuekong had already pulled Jin Xiaohan behind his back.
Goode was surprised to see that the beauty in front of him suddenly disappeared, and the young man like a jade tree stared at him with a dark face, and quickly took a step back and explained: "This is etiquette, etiquette"
But what he said was exactly Middle-earth.
Rao Xuekong was happy behind Jin Xiaohan. It's been a long time since I've encountered such Western etiquette, and I'm still quite nostalgic. Of course, she didn't let people kiss the back of her hand, which is understandable, but she didn't like the unfamiliar saliva on the back of her hand herself.
Han Yanli put the back of his hand and said with a sullen smile: "Well, mine is in place of her." ”
Goode looked embarrassed: "Just etiquette for the lady"
Rao Xuekong finally couldn't help laughing, laughing, while ignoring the two stupid men, he walked into the store to see the neatly placed oil paper bags.
The shop is filled with a variety of aromas.
Rao Xuekong only glanced at it a few times, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "It's all spices? ”
Spices, no, the shelves are full of all kinds of spices that can be used in cooking. Like thyme, cinnamon, black pepper and the like, you name it.
There are many spices in the earth that are not available, maybe those plants do, but no one has discovered their effects, and they cannot be bought in the natural market.
In the past, Rao Xuekong often had some regrets when he ate, and when he ate the same dish, he would think, if there was any seasoning for this, it would definitely be much more delicious. But she knows the finished spice seasoning, which is still in plant form, she basically doesn't know it, and she is not a chef who has a fanatical pursuit of cooking, so if the spices are missing, it is just a little regret at most.
But now when she saw so many spices, the excitement in her heart exploded all at once, not only for herself, but also for the entire people of Middle-earth! It's time to take the taste of the food up a few notches!
Qingqing was beside her and asked curiously, "Madam, what are these?" ”
"Seasoning for cooking."
"Cooking? But there are many slaves and maids who don't know each other, can they use any dish? ”
Qingqing's words reminded Rao Xuekong that indeed, there are many Western spices in the Middle Earth that people don't know yet, and they know how to use them. A flash of inspiration flashed through her mind, and she had another idea to make money.
"Hey, don't be afraid, let's enter the catering industry too!"
Han Yanli couldn't help but shake his head and laugh when he listened to it: "Xiao Han has always said that you are a greedy ghost, I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that this is the case, I was ready to be a wine merchant last night, and today I am ready to be a restaurant again?" ”
Rao Xuekong said: "What is this? You don't know, some group companies do everything they do. "She now has an identity and status, it's not difficult to find people, and there is a big umbrella on top to enjoy the shade, this money is not made in vain.
For her to know everything, Jin Xiaohan and the others are used to it. He didn't ask any more questions, just looked at her speechlessly and immediately talked to Goode about business.
In fact, when talking about this, Rao Xuekong will remember those days in his previous life. I remembered that she was not the general's wife of Da Yu, not the female general of the Hua Dynasty, not the lady of an ancient wealthy family with a lot of subordinates, but a worldly little woman who also needed to make good money for her future.
In this way, she will recall from time to time the pity and helplessness of those masters and mothers for her in the compound of the military region.
"I said Xuekong, if you don't have something to tell Master, can we still save the cost of a child like you? What do girls like flowers always do in the night market? Setting up a stall like that, talking about it makes us lose face. "Master Commander once said this to her.
My wife also told her, "What do you do when you go out, you just report your master's name!" Can't we give you a little bit of convenience? ”
But Rao Xuekong never did. In her previous life, she lived to the age of twenty-three, and she relied on her master to get an indicator for joining the army, but it was only half, and the other half still needed her to participate in the special training and pass the assessment.
In terms of life, she doesn't want to use them, nor does she want to use their aura to go out and run rampant, and her classmates and teachers don't know that she has that kind of background when she goes to school.
money, she also likes to earn it herself.
Her experience as a child taught her that she was the most reliable on her own.
Of course, it's not that the masters treat her badly, it's because they treat her well that she wants to be more independent, and that's what really reciprocates them.
The habits she developed in her previous life, even in ancient times, even if she has such a high status now, she can't change it.
She loves to make money.
Goode saw that she knew these spices, although not 100% of them, but he was already surprised to know seventy or eighty percent.
"What does Madame want to be my president?"
"General agent, or general distributor." Rao Xuekong said: "You said just now that in Lanzhu, only you have the most spices, the most complete and the best quality, isn't it?" This didn't lie to me, did it? ”
An Li hurriedly replied for Goode: "Mrs. Hui, this Goode really didn't lie to you, his spice shop is not only here, but also has branches in Wudu and other places, it is their brothers and sons who are doing it together, and the quality is definitely good." ”
"Well, that's it, I don't compete with you for the market share of blue beads, but open up the big market in Middle Earth, so that your sales will increase at least hundreds of times, I just don't know if you can supply it? You know, the place and population of Middle-earth is not just a blue pearl country. ”
As for what market share, sales or something, Goode and Anlex were also stunned for a while, but they all understood the general meaning, they were both clever businessmen, and naturally knew that this was a huge opportunity, and if they seized it, they would wait to collect money in the future. But the problem that Rao Xuekong threw out, they also knew that it was not a trivial problem, if the spices were to be sold to Middle-earth, they had to keep up with their production, otherwise Rao Xuekong would be in trouble at that time, and they would definitely have to trouble them.
Rao Xuekong added: "So, this matter has to be done within your ability, so let's do it later, I'll make an approximate demand estimate, and after you read it, analyze and analyze it in combination with your actual situation, see if you can do it, and then we will talk about cooperation." ”
"Yes, yes, this is the best, this is the best," said Goode, wiping the sweat from excitement and nervousness on his forehead, "I will call my sons back as well to hear their opinions." (To be continued......)
