1.34 Selling horses
Is this really not overdone?
Thinking of this, Liu Bei suddenly had a flash of inspiration, the reason why buildings in this era are built at a high place is that the Han law omits the height limit?
Because it was a private visit, Liu Bei was white. Those celebrities are obviously not seen. followed Cui Jun all the way around and arrived at a seven-story main building in the depths of the manor. Along the way, all the buildings, even the barns, were built into seven floors. Name: Canglou.
Go up the stairs and enter through the corner door. He stepped on the circular staircase and climbed to the seven-story pavilion. Liu Bei finally met the main master. Former Shangshu Cui Yu.
It will be at the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains at a glance. The dangerous building is 100 feet high, and you can pick the stars by hand. If you want to be poor, go to the next level.
It's all about the benefits of being long-term.
Huaxia Huaxia is not Huafu and Gaoxia (through "Xia").
High pavilion, at a glance. All the feelings inside and outside the manor, you can see it all.
"Are you Liu Bei?" Liu Bei's figure is much taller than his age, which is obviously different from what Cui Yu knows. Also, who would have thought that a seven-year-old boy could ride a big horse.
"The kid is Liu Bei of Zhuo County." Liu Bei saluted respectfully.
The etiquette is not thorough for several weeks, in fact, it depends on whether the family education is strict or not. Liu Bei can't lose his mother's face.
"You did it?" Cui Wei pointed to the collapse.
It was the mattress that Liu Bei gave to Geng Yong.
"Exactly."
"It's a very good thing." Cui Wei's real age should not be as old as he looks. must have experienced an extraordinary period of hardships and ups and downs.
"The old man used to be the Taishou of Wuyuan, and the north was cold and bitter, leaving a hidden disease. The weather is cold and (cold) paralyzed. Cramps in the limbs, swollen joints, tossing and turning, difficulty sleeping. Thankfully, this relieved my pain. The old man should have thanked him face-to-face. ”
Saying that, Cui Wei actually made a big gift to Liu Bei!
Liu Bei hurriedly flashed: "How dare you take it!" ”
"Stand it."
Seeing that Cui Wei didn't get up, Liu Bei could only grit his teeth and step forward to help.
Even if there is no cold and paralysis pain, people are old and their blood is weak, and the hard bed is really uncomfortable. The pads are thick and too soft. It is not as soft and hard as Liu Bei's hemp pad. Now think about it, those health care mattresses worth tens of thousands of dollars in later generations do have a reason for their existence.
"Cui Gong, sit in peace." Liu Bei helped him to sit on the couch, stepped back and saluted: "Liu Bei also has something to ask for." ”
"What?"
Liu Bei brought together many questions that were not clarified in the "Four Peoples Moon Order".
"The old man has written a lot, why only ask about this book?" Cui Wei stroked his beard and smiled.
Liu Bei subconsciously scratched his head and said bluntly: "I also want to build a dock fort." ”
"I see, that's ......" glanced at Liu Bei deeply, Cui Yu knew his mind. What Liu Bei wants is a place to avoid disaster!
can see that chaos is coming, which also shows that this son is extraordinary!
Indeed, there are some manuscript fragments in this book. After Lao Tzu tidies up, I will send it to you. ”
Really!
Liu Bei was overjoyed.
Those that are not suitable for the content of the book, such as - Dock Fort Attack and Defense!
It was Liu Bei who was eager to know.
After all, it's a teenager's nature. Daxi got carried away, paced a few steps in front of Shangshu, and then could not stop.
The mood is revealed, and I forget my body for a while. On the contrary, Cui Wei is more convinced that this son is extraordinary. It shows that Liu Bei really knows that the world will change, and he must plan early.
"There's one more thing in stock, please give it a try." Liu Beixi descended from the sky and didn't feel anything else. This said to Geng Yong, who had been standing respectfully outside the porch, "Brother Geng, and present it." ”
"Okay." Geng Yong, who had been waiting for this sentence, immediately held the lacquered wood fruit box in his hand and walked into the pavilion in broken steps.
"What's this?"
"Peach jelly." Liu Bei did this, in fact, it has a deep meaning. Since the jelly was discovered by Hu Shang, he simply borrowed Cui Wei's mouth and made it public. In this era, the role of Baume & Mercier is not just as simple as discounting!
They are more of a guarantee mechanism.
The words that come out of their mouths are extremely authoritative.
"It's delicious." Novelty is one of them. Mainly the old man who can only drink porridge and eat tofu on weekdays, it is rare to have a dim sum that can be eaten.
Geng Yong bent down and smiled: "Not only peaches, as long as it is a seasonal fresh fruit, Liu Bei Xian can make it into jelly." ”
"Oh?" Cui Wei, whose teeth are about to fall out, how can he not like it? The reason why jelly is so popular with children is that it is easy to swallow. The same goes for the elderly!
Some people will ask, isn't it the same to take fresh fruits and mash them into puree?
Just like the difference between refried beans and tofu.
In this era, everything has to be stylish. A man must have good conduct. The device must have a device type. Especially the scholar class, which has no form, is like mud. After all, it is not in the stream.
"I saw Kong Ming eight feet long, his face was like a crown of jade, he was wearing a scarf on his head, and he was wearing a crane, and he looked like a fairy." Uncle Liu Huang bowed his head.
This is called selling.
The jelly in the box is square, crystal bright, trembling, sweet and sweet.
The more you look at it, the more you like it, and the more you eat, the more beautiful it becomes.
Geng Yong first cut the bamboo slices into small pieces, and then inserted them one by one with bamboo skewers and sent them to Cui Wei.
The old book is endless.
Eat well and sleep well. Maybe I'll live a few more years.
Holding the fruit box of 'Fruit Fairy Jelly, Zhuoxian Liu' six old Shangshu handwritten small seals, Liu Bei and the others said goodbye and left.
Merchant ships need to be unloaded and loaded, and it will take another day. Hiding the fruit box in the cabin of the ship, the two of them traveled lightly and went to the city.
In the first year of Yanguang, Liu De, the grandson of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, was named King of Anping. Establish the kingdom of Anping, and govern the place in Xindu. Anping County is under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom. Unlike Geng Yong, who was very interested all the way, Liu Bei lost interest as he strolled around. Zhuojun and Anping are not far apart, and they both belong to the north, and the buildings in the city are many similar, and the same is true for the bazaar. It's nothing more than that there are different pedestrians. The biggest difference from Zhuo County is that there are fewer Hu people here.
There are not many people who know Hu.
There was one profession that piqued Liu Bei's interest: 驵 (zǎng) 侩.
After Geng Yongyi said, Liu Bei understood what it was to be a puppet. It refers to the intermediary between the buyer and the seller, which is also known as an intermediary.
The earliest intermediary appeared in the horse market in the Han Dynasty.
The ethnic minorities in the north transported their horses to the Central Plains for sale, and the buyers and sellers needed an intermediary to watch the prices of the horses and act as translators. In this way, the middleman of the horse trade, the 'puppet', appeared.
Horse, strong horse, good horse. 侩, has the meaning of 'matchmaking'. Taken together, they are middlemen in the horse trade.
"Hanshu Goods Colonization" has: "The child loan money is thousands, and the money is frugal." ".
Later, such as the bull market and the sheep market, there are middlemen, which are collectively called 'philistines'. "New Tang Dynasty Book: Food and Goods Zhi IV" contains: "Those who have two pools of salt, the owners of the Fang City residences, and the philistines all sit down. ”
And because the horse is looking at the age and quality of the horse from the teeth, and pricing it accordingly. That's why it's also called 'tooth drowning'.
In the Tang Dynasty, the management body of the dental industry appeared, 'Yaxing'. In the Song Dynasty, the tooth shop was not only a money-making business, but also a large taxpayer.
Now that I think about it, Su Shuang is a good seedling.
Liu Bei was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a long hiss.
Hearing the sound, I saw a Hun horse tied under the old locust tree at the mouth of an alley outside the horse market.
This horse has a blue complexion, a deep and long chest, a thick body and short legs, a large head and a wide forehead, strong legs and strong hooves, a long mane and dense hair, and a wild spirit.
It was the máng horse.
