Chapter Twenty-Nine: Boundless Blessings
Peach blossom luck is something that every man looks forward to, and it has nothing to do with age, whether he is married or not, it is determined by the genes in their bodies, try to possess more mates, and have more of their offspring, this is the cry of every cell molecule in a man's body, people call meeting a beautiful woman an erotic encounter, of course, if you meet an ugly girl, there is also a proper noun to call --- hell!
No normal man can refuse the favor of a beautiful woman, but when the number of beauties is two or more, and you don't have the ability to pedal multiple boats, the affair becomes a disaster, and now Xiao Yat is in a serious affair disaster, because his emotional intelligence is really low, very low!
First of all, Zhao Lang's sister' Yanran County Lord', because of her special status, everyone does not dare to restrain her too much, in the caravan she is free to move, and the food is superior, and there is a tent to live in the quasi-door, but for some reason, her favorite place is Xiao Yi's car, and she is very attentive, when Xiao Yi sleeps lazy, she is on the side to play a fan, to expel mosquitoes and flies, when Xiao Yi eats, she takes the initiative to run over to help him cook, and also picks out her share of meat and puts it in Xiao Yi's bowl, which is even more virtuous than the little daughter-in-law of the Han Dynasty, so that all the people are shocked to drop their jaws!
No one could associate this well-behaved woman with the sturdy female horse thief who robbed men indiscriminately and trampled others to death with her horses' hooves, although they were indeed the same person.
"Probably this Hun woman likes the Han family more! One of the most powerful things is that it can turn 100 steels into finger wrapping softness; …… Now that even that 'useless Xiao Yi' is so favored, wouldn't those of us have the same great chance! "For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the caravan, you know, if anyone becomes the brother-in-law of Zhao Lang, the leader of the horse thieves, it is really a gain of both people and money! Not only can you get a beautiful Hun who is like a jade, but also in the future, there will be a lot of benefits on this business road, and your own family will definitely be better to speak!
After thinking of this, the whole caravan was in a sensation, all the leaders turned out the clothes under their own boxes, swords, jade pendants, sachets, pendants, ......, in short, everything that could be hung was hung on him, the high price of incense from the Western Regions, don't want money to play with their lives, an old face is washed seven or eight times a day on average, at least to make yourself look twenty years younger, if you look ten years younger, then you are embarrassed to make yourself look in front of the beauty.
The content of the conversation between the leaders has also changed, and the voice of the conversation is so loud that almost the entire caravan can hear it, and it is "how powerful my family is in the Central Plains, and how many properties and businesses do I have in the mainland,...... I just don't have a wife, no one takes care of the family's wealth, and I happen to be a seed of infatuation, and I haven't continued it."
Everyone's purpose is very consistent, and it is necessary to show the charm of a mature man to the fullest, so as to attract the attention of the 'Yanran County Lord'......
The car has a road, the horse has a road, and those caravan guys who are not as valuable as the leader take advantage of their youth, handsomeness, and strengthening, and cross the sword every day, majestic and high-spirited, and walk in front of Zhao Yanran countless times, they unanimously believe that with their appearance and temperament, love at first sight is not a myth!
In this regard, Zhao Yanran really listened very carefully, especially when she heard the caravan leader boast that there was a lot of money in his family, her eyes would glow with a burst of red light, and she wiped her saliva frequently, Xiao Yi on the side knew that this female horse thief was indeed greedy for those property, but the way she got the property was always to rob it with a saber, kill first, then rob, clean and neat, as for drooling, it was just an occupational disease of others, in her eyes, these fat-headed and big-eared caravan leaders were fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered!
In this regard, Xiao Yi's reaction was to watch her closely, and pull her arm wherever she went, for fear that this aunt would do a vote in the caravan regardless of everything, and it would be a big trouble, but in the eyes of everyone, Xiao Yi's behavior was --- 'food protection'!
The county lord of Yanran didn't react yet, but the other person was stimulated to smoke at the beginning, and the maid 'Xiaozhu', who received the order, began to appear frequently on Xiao Yi's truck, and every time she came, she brought exquisite Han cakes, so that Xiao Yi feasted on it. Zhen Gongzi's name of tracking his little maid, and he couldn't stay in the car, and Zhao Yanran went toe-for-tat, making the car chatter every day, saying that a woman is equal to five hundred ducks, so Xiao Yi's current feeling is that there are 1,500 ducks on his head. Ga! '' screams......
In this situation, the caravan immediately shattered the glass hearts all over the ground, everyone had to walk carefully at night, for fear of piercing the feet, that 'useless Xiao Yi' not only won the favor of the Hun beauties, but also openly seduced the maid of 'Zhen Gongzi', eating in the bowl, but also peeking into the pot, 'It's bearable, which is unbearable!' For a while, there were at least 100 young men in the caravan who came to Xiao Yi with knives to duel, and there were more than a dozen caravan leaders behind the scenes.
This situation makes Xiao Yi really live like a year, the good days of 'gnawing pot helmets and sleeping lazy' are gone, now don't say it's eating, just go out and put some water, there will be people lining up to come to find themselves to duel, if it weren't for the help of Da Niu and Xiao Bin, Xiao Yi would collapse, and at the same time, he once again determined a truth, low-key is the king!
This situation did not end until they met the first Hun herdsman, because the business began, and in the eyes of the merchants, the attraction of money was far greater than that of beautiful women, and with the famous gold coins, I was afraid that there would be no beauty!
On a wide grassland, there is a lonely yurt house, dozens of Hun horses are tied outside, which is the tool used by the herdsmen to hurry, fat grassland cattle, and dense flocks of sheep, this year the Hetao grassland is smooth, there is no major natural disaster, coupled with the abundance of water and grass here, the herdsmen's cattle and sheep herds have doubled, which not only allows them to have sufficient food for the winter, but also allows them to have the capital of bartering.
Seeing the caravan coming from afar, the first reaction of the Hun herdsmen was to be on guard, the male owner picked up his own saber, the hostess raised the horse stick used to drive the wolf, and even the seven or eight-year-old Hun child picked up a wooden fork, in this grassland, vendetta between tribes occurs from time to time, it can be said that every stranger may be an enemy, so you can not relax your vigilance at any time.
The process of trading was very simple, a bare-handed caravan guy walked up, first waved his hands to show that he had no malicious intent, then took out a small packet of salt and handed it to the man, and then pointed to the horses in his horse pen, and expressed the meaning of his exchange clearly, it doesn't matter if the language is not understood, it doesn't matter if there is no written explanation, business exchange is always the simplest, body language can solve everything!
The Xiongnu herdsmen cautiously opened the paper bag, and when they saw the rough salt grains inside, their eyes lit up, and this kind of yellow-brown coarse salt grains with a large number of impurities were elixir for them! When he stretched out his tongue and carefully licked the grains of salt, he cried almost happily, and knelt on the grass, his hands raised to the sky like a wolf howl......
The county lord of Yanran quietly told Xiao Yi that the herdsman was thanking the almighty Kunlun God, there was a shortage of materials on the grassland, especially salt and iron tools, and the herdsmen cherished these things that could not be made by themselves, it seems that this herdsman family has not been replenished with salt for a long time, and it is said that in the most difficult time, those herdsmen who are extremely lacking in salt will even lick the hair on the cattle and sheep, because there will be some salt crystals brought by sweating in the hair!
The rest of the trade was easy, a two-pound bag of coarse salt grains for a cow, an iron pot for a horse, and a jar of spirits for two of the strongest horses.
Horses and war horses are two concepts, not every horse can be trained into a war horse, those old, weak, sick, disabled, with dark diseases, not enough height, not high strength, and even not enough endurance, is not able to become a qualified war horse, only the strongest, the most strong, the fastest Hun horse can go to the battlefield.
The extremely unequal price difference made both sides satisfied, the herdsmen got what the herdsmen wanted, and the caravan got what the caravan wanted, and everyone was happy!
The rest of the things should be separated, the Huns are born by water and grass, and countless tribes of all sizes are like chess pieces, scattered on this boundless steppe, so the caravan must set off separately to find their own opportunities in different tribes, as for whether to exchange for large quantities of goods in the end, or die in a strange meadow, then it is up to fate.
It was agreed that, regardless of the outcome, all the caravans would gather here in twenty days and return to the interior of the Central Plains together; The fate of each person is unpredictable, but Xiao Yi is very sure that when he comes back to gather, the number of caravans will be much smaller than now, and this is the fate of merchants!
