Chapter Thirty-Six: Preparing for the South, Twenty-two ___ "Cybernaut" Divides

When Yan Boju saw so many horses, he danced with joy. Yesterday, he thought he had bought too many horses, mostly because he had bought them back before he could pick them, and suddenly he felt that he was useless, and that the idea of showing off his skills was about to be frustrated. But this "Cybernaut" is a man who likes horses. Round the horse pen, keep turning, and keep talking to the horse. Zhang Zhimu felt that Yan Boju's eyes looking at horses were definitely like looking at his lover's eyes. Talking to a horse is like talking to a lover. When you see a good horse, you will say: "You shake your head and tail with me, it's useless, whether it's good or bad, let's see on our feet." When you meet someone with a violent temperament, you will say, "Crazy what? I haven't seen any fierce horses, sooner or later I'll make you obedient. It was also strange that Zhang Zhimu could see from the horse's eyes that he seemed to understand what Yan Boju said. Zhang Zhimu couldn't help but ask, "This horse seems to understand what you say, right?" ”

"That's right, this horse can understand human speech, but it can't speak, and it understands human nature. Who is good for him and who is bad for him, it is very clear. Whoever can stop him and who can't, he understands. "These horses, Yan Boju is looking at them one by one, and then he has to divide the horses himself. After selecting the horses first, everyone used the fence to drive the horses selected by Yan Boju into a stall one by one. Zhang Zhimu said, this family is almost divided, you can save some effort. Hearing this, Yan Boju's face changed suddenly, and he said, "They divided the horses, do you still let me do it?" Zhang Zhimu hurriedly smiled and said, "I look at too many horses, I'm afraid that you will be busy." Look at you still don't appreciate it, I can still be happy if you divide it. Only then did Yan Boju flatten his little eyes and said, "With the horse, I am tired to death, and I am happy in my heart." Hum! They divided the horses, and they divided them all into pieces. The horse should be at least seven grades. Good horses and good horses are to be separated. Can't mix with these inferior horses. This is the same as people, and it must be divided into three, six, nine and so on. In this way, among the 800 horses, Yan Boju picked out more than 30 horses and drove them in a horse pen.

While resting there, Yan Boju's chatterbox opened again and said, "Zhimu." At this time, it stands to reason that it is not the right time to buy a horse, but on the contrary, it is the right time to come. In this season, on the grassland, the grass should be green, and the horses should grow fat. Usually at this time, the Mongols are reluctant to come and sell horses. The horses only come to change tea in the fall. At this time, when buying a horse, you have to put up the forage money for this winter, and the loss is a loss. But this horse was locked up here for a winter, and he also killed the writing wild. Because Mongolian horses grow up in the steppe, they are wild and have their feet, and it is not easy to rush back if they do not kill the wild, so it is time to come again. As for what you said, these horses can not carry goods. I'll have to see. ”

Zhang Zhimu saw that the horse would not be finished for a while, so he said: "This horse will be handed over to you, and I still have to handle the skins and other goods to be entered." In the evening, let everyone eat better, drink less, and don't make mistakes. ”

Yan Boju said, "Okay, you don't have to worry about things here. I don't care about anything else on your side, I'll be with my horse. Zhang Zhimu and Chen Yufeng led Liu Yun back to the city. First in the market, I went around the price of leather horns.

Chen Yufeng and Liu Yun both know a little about this leather goods, but they are not proficient in it, and they have gained a lot of insight after chatting with a few leather shops. There are mainly cowhides, horse skins, sheepskins and camel skins. After understanding the basic market conditions, a few people went back to the inn, gave the innkeeper a few pennies, and asked him to go on a trip to ask Pan and Li when they had time and wanted to talk to them about leather goods. As a result, Pan and Li, two leather merchants, did not wait for the guy to reply, and followed over.

Zhang Zhimu knows that this leather industry has a lot of knowledge, don't pretend to understand if you don't understand, and tell people that you have just entered this trip, please take care of it. The two of them saw that Zhang Zhimu was very realistic, and they sincerely wanted to make friends with Zhang Zhimu, a polite and kind businessman. They also understand that with Zhang Zhimu's strength, they are shouting at Hukou, they want to buy leather goods, and they can line up in front of the door. Therefore, the two also wanted to show off their years of experience in the leather goods industry in front of Zhang Zhimu. The high-level discussion really made Zhang Zhimu and others gain a lot of knowledge.

Let's just talk about this cowhide, there is a big difference between good and bad tanning. The same cowhide, shaving and shaving will do, but the recipe for the potion of cooked skin is kept secret. Therefore, the leather made by no one is exactly the same. There is also the cowhide itself, which is also divided into bull's skin, cow's skin, and calfskin. Cows also have cubs and non-cubs. Whether the skin is taken in summer or winter, this skin is different. The leather is also divided, it is the new leather and the old leather of the year. As long as you get started, you can see it as soon as you get started.

That sheepskin, because of the hair, said to have more heads. Then the two shopkeepers introduced the horseskin and camel skin.

Zhang Zhimu interjected and asked: "Fox skin, what is the price?" ”

Pan's shopkeeper said: "Fox skin, relatively rare. There are good hunters on the grassland to catch that thing, and it's not enough for those princes to use it themselves, and there are very few who can get here, and that thing, when it comes here, the worst one will cost a thousand taels of silver. Because the fox thing is too spiritual. The shepherd on the steppe said that as long as you take a bow, that thing knows that it is difficult to defeat. Even if it hits, there will be a wound on the skin. It is said that there are those who happen to shoot arrows in their mouths, and the fur on their bodies is not injured at all, and they can be sold for 10,000 taels. But we haven't seen it. As soon as he heard this, Zhang Zhimu was very happy, and Chen Yufeng also looked at Zhang Zhimu and smiled.

In the afternoon, the two shopkeepers were introducing Zhang Zhimu's knowledge of leather goods, and did not mention anything about business. Zhang Zhimu saw that the time was not early, and asked for the opinions of the two shopkeepers. Call the shopkeeper and ask him to go again, and invite Shopkeeper Liu of Shengchang Grain Store and Shopkeeper Chen of Xingsheng Grain Store to drink together at night if there is time. The dude is out. Zhang Zhimu said to the two shopkeepers: "Our business is easy to say, don't be polite, the goods I bought today will not give an accurate number, but it will not be too little." How about quoting the actual price for the two of you? The two looked at each other and said, "We have discussed, Zhang Dongjia will definitely buy a lot of goods, and we also very much want to make Zhang Dongjia a friend." Let's quote the lowest price. Then, the two quoted the price according to the variety and grade of the skin, and the two also doubled as horns, etc., and they also quoted a price. When Zhang Zhimu heard this, he would never be able to get this price when he went out, it seemed that the price given by the two of them was not too much moisture, and he also wanted to make friends with these two business partners in his heart. Zhang Zhimu knew in his heart that the bulk of his profits did not come from them. They are just going to go a volume, and the profit will not be too high.

Zhang Zhimu didn't make a counteroffer, so he said: "This matter is settled, and I will give the two of you a final quantity tomorrow." Tonight, how about not talking about business, just talking about Fengyue? Of course everyone agreed. The beauty in the hearts of the two shopkeepers was almost unbearable.

The two shopkeepers said that they would invite tonight's meal anyway. Zhang Zhimu said: "You're welcome, you two are welcome, today I want to chat with you again, and I also invite the shopkeeper Liu of Shengchang Grain Store and the shopkeeper Chen of Xingsheng Grain Store to be lively and lively together." ”

In the evening, several people drank in Shengxing Building, the largest restaurant in Hukou. At this point, everyone is relaxed. By the way, they also talked about the business field, but when they heard that Zhang Zhimu directly bought all the horses in the official horse farm, and there were more than 800 horses at once, they were all stunned and couldn't believe it. Because they all know that Zhang Zhimu is the first time to do business here. Although I also know that it is definitely not ordinary people who can bring the caravan to kill Hukou at this time. However, this is a business that has been run by those big businesses for generations, and no one can interfere with it, and they dare not interfere with it, and moreover, they bought so many horses at once. What's even more puzzling is that you have only been here for a few days, and you can get in touch with the guard, and the guard will personally go to the horse farm to trade horses for you, and give you all the horse pens for free. You are immortals. It's incredible, it's all impressive.

The dishes of this Shengxinglou are very good, not only the color is good-looking, but the taste is also very good, but the mouth is heavier. The dishes are also very distinctive, such as hump, grassland white mushroom, venison, lamb meat, etc. The scorched hump is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, but not greasy; The grassland white mushroom is tender and delicious; The braised venison is delicious and delicious, rotten but not noodles; The steamed lamb meat is even softer and tender, and the green onion is fragrant. This table of dishes, even people like Zhang Zhimu, who had been soaking on the wine table all year round in his previous life, were full of praise.

According to the introduction of the shopkeeper Pan, this hump is divided into peak A and peak B, the male camel is peak A, and the female camel is peak B. It is suggested that Zhang Zhimu can bring some of these goods back, and if they can be transported to the south, the price will at least increase several times. Shopkeeper Li also suggested that Zhang Zhimu should bring more horns and tendons back, now that he is fighting everywhere, making bows and arrows is inseparable from these, these things must be easy to sell. Zhang Zhimu thanked them one by one.

At this time, the boss came up to add dishes to thank the guests. Zhang Zhimu said: "This dish is all first-class and good food. It's just that this wine is a little worse, and it doesn't match this dish too well. ”

The boss said, "This is the best wine here, this is the best wine." ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Next time I will come again, bring some wine, let you know what good wine is!" ”

The boss said, "Then I'll wait here for your good wine, and then we'll open our eyes." ”

The wine here is strong and high, and the others are really not very good, and they can't be on the table at all.

In this bitter cold land in the north, people are too bold to drink. At the beginning, everyone was still a little restrained, especially the grade of this restaurant is the highest here, and everyone still pays attention to the image, but when the wine is drunk, it is different. That's one more than the other can drink. Zhang Zhimu can't fight their wine, and everyone doesn't fight him. Fortunately, Chen Yufeng and Liu Yunna are also first-level wine immortals. It's finally not going to be left behind.

Everybody was drinking happily, and the guy came up and said that someone was asking to see him. Zhang Zhimu wine was also a little insightful, and said, "I didn't see it, I was drinking it." I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

After a while, the man ran up again and said, "Uncle, you should see each other." The people who asked to see were Yang Erdongjia of Dexingcheng and Jiang Dongjia of Shengdechang Company. ”

Zhang Zhimu didn't know who it was, but the four people here knew that this Yang Erdong was the second eldest of the Yang family who had just died of the third brother, and the Jiang Dongjia was also the owner of one of the Shengdechang firms that monopolized Mashi. When they heard both of them coming, all four stood up. said: "Since there is something to do with Zhang Dong's family, we will leave first." ”

Zhang Zhimu hurriedly said, "Everyone sit down and listen to me." ”

Everyone sat down, and Zhang Zhimu said, "We just drank something interesting, and we can't leave before we have fun." If you don't get drunk today, you won't return. ”

He turned to the fellow and said, "Since there are people who think so highly of me and insist on seeing me, then please!" ”
