Chapter 275: Argentas

This time, the housekeeper didn't speak, so Liu Jiahe hurriedly said: "This big brother, we are businessmen from the Central Plains, I'm sorry to offend you for the first time," he said, and bowed his hand

The 'Meng' Gu Han looked at the two people and said, "I don't know what business the honorable guest wants to do, we have a lot of fur and 'hair' there, and the two of you are interested in going to see it."

This is really what do you want to come, the two of them are worried about having nowhere to find Lan Yong, and the language is not comprehensible, now it is good, there are still people who can speak Chinese, Liu Jiahe said: "Then it's good that we just came and are worried about finding a source of goods, since the honorable guests have goods, it also makes us worry, not where is your residence?"

"Two, my residence is not far from me, let's go with me in a while," said the big man, leading the horse, turning the head of the car, and the Liu family and the Helan housekeeper followed behind, walking along the potholed street to the front

There are no houses on both sides of the road, all of them are 'Mongolian' ancient bags one by one, these 'Mongolian' ancients are not in the house to do business, they are placed in the open space in front of the tent, and most of the goods are ceramics, ironware, silk and other things from the Central Plains, because the time is still early, and there are not many customers

Following the 'Meng' ancient big man, the two of them walked for a stick of incense before they stopped in front of a 'Meng' ancient bag, and the big man shouted: "'Meng' brother came out to tie the horse to the guest", and as soon as the Han's voice fell, a young man came out of the 'Meng' ancient bag

"Uncle, you're back, you're a guest there."

"You first tie your horses to you for a while," he said, and tied the reins of his horses to the wooden posts in front of the tent

The young man also came over to take the horses of the Liu family and the housekeeper and tied them to the pillar on the side

"Two of you, please," the big man stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain of the 'door', and made a gesture of inviting in

The two of them followed into the tent, the tent was warm and close to the middle, a big brazier, the charcoal in it was booming, and a pot was simmering on it, and the pot was steaming, and there was a smell of 'meat'

"Brother Meng, make tea," the big man instructed the young man who followed him

"Sit down, two, my name is Argentas, I am Brother Meng's uncle, Brother Meng is my eldest brother's child," he said, and let the Liu family and the two of them on the couch

After they sat cross-legged, Brother Meng had already brought up the hot 'milk' tea, Liu Jiahe took a sip and said, "Argentas, why don't you see the skin and 'hair'?"

"Don't worry, the fur 'fur' is in another house, it's not my own, it's the wolf skin of a few of our brothers, and the sheepskin, I don't know what kind of fur 'fur' you need, I can go out for you to change," Argentas greeted them warmly, for fear that they would run away

"My surname is Liu, my name is Liu, and this is Brother Lan, we came to Guanwai this time to see the market of the fur 'Mao', but I want to enter a batch of fur 'Mao' to go back, and I am also looking for a friend, who is also our fellow countryman, he has always been here"

"So you have friends here," Argentas said in frustration

"It's not a friend, it's also an acquaintance, we don't know him, his name is Lan Yong, I don't know, you can't know him, I've been here for many years, no matter what, I still have to settle your 'fur' skin," Liu Jiahe was afraid that Argentas would not tell him Lan Yong's whereabouts, so he added

"What is this Lan Yong doing, if it were a businessman, I haven't heard of this name, what does that person look like," Argentas was interested when he heard that this 'fur' business could still be done, he was afraid that the Liu family and they would not want his things after they found Lan Yong

"Lan Yong is in his thirties, and he is 'quite tall', I don't know anything else," this time the housekeeper replied, because when the cheap father came out, he had already told him about Lan Yong's physical characteristics

"There are a lot of Han people who come here to do business, and when the time comes, I will take you to see it, just by talking about the name, I don't know the names of your Han people, I am not familiar with them, they have changed to our 'Meng' ancient name after coming to us, we say here that it is useless."

"Then I'm bothering you, listening to your Chinese speaking so well, have you ever been to the Central Plains?" asked Liu Jiahe

"Brother Liu has never been there, my mother is Han, so we have been able to speak Chinese since we were young, and our brothers and sisters in the family can all speak Chinese."

"Is your mother really still there, I'm going to visit the old man's house"

"It's not there, Changshengtian took her away, and I was not there when I was young, she was used to life in the Central Plains, and she couldn't adapt to the environment here, so she fell ill," Argentas finished and took a big sip of 'milk' tea

After drinking the 'milk' tea, Argentas said to the young man: "Brother Meng, go and call your uncles, and bring some sheepskins and wolf skins by the way, and say that a customer has arrived."

Brother Meng agreed and came out of the tent, and Liu Jiahe asked: "Agendas, don't you also have merchants here who buy 'fur' skins, why don't you sell them to them?"

"Two big brothers, you don't know that there are people here who buy 'fur' skins, but the price is too low, like us, we usually go out to hunt for a living, and we rely on these skins and 'furs' to sell money to feed our families, but the price given by those 'fur' merchants can't even fill our stomachs."

"Aren't you allowed to go out to graze, how can you live by hunting," Liu Jiahe asked

"Brother Liu, you don't know, not all herdsmen have cattle, sheep and livestock to graze, our brothers just don't have pasture, no livestock, don't be afraid of your jokes, we just rely on hunting for a living, usually go out to steal other people's livestock, we look forward to going out to hunt grass and grain in the winter of the year, I can grab something, and I don't know when the Khan King will act, so I will deal with these skins and 'furs' first, and I will not worry until the Khan King orders to go out to hunt grass and valley."

As soon as Argentas finished speaking, the tent curtain was lifted from the outside, and the three big men who came in from the outside were all dressed as 'Meng' ancients, and the one who took the lead was still carrying a few 'fur' skins in his hand and asked, "Big brother, you have something to do with us."

"Come and sit down, this is a merchant from the Central Plains, I met me, I want to ask the two of you to buy our fur 'fur', this is not for you to come over to discuss, by the way, show the two eldest brothers our fur 'fur'" "

The three of them came to Argentas and sat down, and Argentas introduced to Liu Jiahe and the housekeeper: "These three are my good brothers, this is my second brother called Adidas, this is the third brother Alidas, and this is the fourth brother Laguda."

After introducing the three of them, he introduced the Liu family and the shopkeeper of Helan to the three of them: "This is the merchant Brother Liu and Brother Lan from Guannei"

After a few people greeted each other and exchanged courtesies, they led the main topic to the 'fur' business, Liu Jiahe spoke first: "A few of us are businessmen, and we can't get much goods this time, mainly because we understand the market situation, I don't know what the price of your 'fur' here is, please advise."

"This wolf skin is one tael of silver, three sheepskins are one tael of silver, five pieces of silver, and there are not many cowhides, I don't know if you are interested, that one is more expensive, and we don't have much, Brother Liu, you can definitely eat these goods, if these goods are not enough, I will contact you out."

Liu Jiahe pretended to pick up the wolf skin, looked at it over and over again, and finally put it down and said: "How many of you have it, this price is not expensive, we can accept it, but I have a condition."

As soon as I heard that the Liu family could accept a few people, they were very happy, and Argentas said: "Brother Liu, we now have two hundred wolf skins, five hundred sheepskins, and more than a dozen cowhides, I don't know if the eldest brother can ask for it together, and if there is anything about the eldest brother, you can say it, you are welcome."

"Actually, it's also a big deal, that is, the two of us want to live here for a while longer, and we are not familiar with life here, and we don't know if it will work with you, as for the cost, I will pay the silver" Liu Jiahe is considering that he doesn't know if Lan Guang is used now, and Lan Yong's attitude is not necessarily a ready-made place to live, and it will not attract the attention of others, and this Argentas is a guide, which is a good thing, so he made such a request, that is, Liu Jiahe is an old Jianghu would think that if it was Lan Steward, he would not have thought of it

"This is a trivial matter, just stay here with me and Brother Meng, I have a few brothers for food and accommodation, you go to drink and buy some benefits later, and we will entertain the two eldest brothers," Argentas said with a big grin

"Big brother, this .....," Adidas didn't finish

"Say whatever you want, this and that, it's so embarrassing to tell you to drink," Argentas reprimanded Adidas dissatisfied

"That's the case, big brother, you don't let us sell these skins these days, we don't even have money for drinking," Adidas lowered his head embarrassedly

"If you don't have any money, then go on credit, you can't go without wine."

"Uncle, they don't give us credit, and we already owe two taels of silver," Adidas didn't say anything, and Brother Meng had already said it for him

The Liu family and the housekeeper Helan all heard it, and dared to love this Argentas is poor, and he didn't even drink wine, no wonder he pulled them back in such a hurry, Liu Jiahe is also a smart person, and hurriedly said: "Brother, is it not easy to have money, so let's go, we also bought your 'fur', we are not in a hurry, let's give you a part of the deposit first, pay it all to you when you leave, according to the price you said and your existing 'fur' is two hundred and ten taels of silver, how about I give you one hundred taels of silver first."

"This Brother Liu and Brother Lan are really righteous brothers, and they really don't have enough money, and they are not willing to sell this skin 'Mao' cheaply, so they owe some money, which makes the two of them laugh."

"It's not uncommon for a penny to be a hero, Brother Qilan, you give the Argentas brothers a hundred taels of silver first," Liu Jiahe finished speaking, and the Lan steward over there had already untied his burden, took out two ingots of fifty taels of silver from it, and put them on the kang table
