Chapter 229: Looking for Wool
"Brother Lin is here?" Zhiwen came to Lin Yuan's yurt and shouted.
"Is it Brother Zheng? Come in. Lin Yuan replied inside, "Freshly brewed milk tea, drink some together?" ”
Zhiwen walked into the tent, saw that the two brothers and sisters were still having breakfast, and said with a smile, "It's better to come early than to come by chance." ”
"I sincerely invited you just now, but you didn't come, why did you come uninvited now?" Lin Yuan teased.
"If you want to blame it, blame your milk tea for being too fragrant, I was attracted by the fragrance of tea." Zhiwen also made a joke.
Lin Yuan laughed and poured a bowl of tea for Zhiwen, "Have you eaten it?" Have a bite to eat with us? ”
"Don't!" Zhiwen waved his hand, "I'll just drink tea." ”
At breakfast, a few girls thought he had eaten too little, and they added it to his bowl vigorously.
Lin Yuan knew that Zhiwen was here, something must be wrong, and after eating the food in the bowl in a few clicks, he asked, "Brother Zheng is in trouble?" Let's put it bluntly. ”
"Brother Lin, I don't know if you still have wool, if there is, no matter how much, I will ask for it, the price will definitely satisfy you." Talking to smart people, Zhiwen didn't go around in circles, but said his needs straight to the point, so as not to have some gaps, and the situation was already understood from Meng Gen.
"Wool?" Lin Yuan shook his head, "I still have some, it's just not much, just a few dozen catties, this thing takes up space, it's not easy to store, and it's not much use, it was originally going to make sheep felt, if you need it, I can trade with you, by the way, I have a lot of sheep felt with Dalintai, you either?" ”
Zhiwen was a little disappointed, this sheep felt has already been treated, and then it is not possible to use it for spinning and weaving, but in line with the idea of buying horse bones, he still should make this deal, anyway, it is extremely cheap to collect these things in Mongolia, and he just can't use it, and he won't lose money if he transports it to Zhangjiakou and resells it.
Lin Yuanjian Zhiwen was not very interested, and thought about it again, "By the way, before the winter last year, all the wool we sheared was not burned, and some were buried in the ground, why don't you go and take a look?" I still remember that there was little snow this year, and it probably didn't go bad. ”
"Okay." Zhiwen's eyes lit up, "Please ask Brother Lin to lead the way." ”
The road was not far, and the two rode horses again, and it didn't take long to arrive.
Lin Yuan took Zhiwen and quickly picked up the soil, seeing that it should be a lot.
It's just that the stench came to the nose, and the smoke made the two of them retreat again and again.
Zhiwen took out a square handkerchief, covered his nose, endured the discomfort, and stepped forward to take a closer look, most of the wool had deteriorated and began to stick together, and there were a lot of mildew, so it seemed that it was not needed.
"Brother Lin, why don't you help me ask, is there anyone in the tribe who has wool?" Zhiwen didn't have much hope in his heart, so he wasn't too disappointed.
"Okay." Lin Yuan dug the soil to cover the wool that exuded a strong smell, and promised, "It's just that you don't have too much hope." ”
Zhiwen also followed the digging and said, "Well, I know it in my heart." ”
"Hey, Brother Lin, why do you have time to accompany me today and not go to herd sheep?" Zhiwen was working, but he suddenly thought of this problem.
"In winter, there is no way to herd sheep every day, there is not so much forage to feed them, just let them move every now and then so that they don't get sick."
"So, you're not busy in winter, are you?" Zhiwen asked.
"Compared with the other three seasons, it's a bit idle." Lin Yuan replied, covering the last shovel of soil, "Let's go, talk on the road." ”
"Since I'm not busy, can Brother Lin take me around the surrounding tribes, I still want to see if they have wool, don't worry, I won't let you help in vain."
"Hey, Brother Zheng's words are out of sight." Lin Yuan stepped onto the horse, "You and I are both Han Chinese, and it is natural to help each other." ”
"However, don't you think it's too much time to collect it from one house to another like this?" Lin Yuan asked.
"Brother Lin has a trick?" Zhiwen asked.
Lin Yuan's body rose and fell with the horse's gallop, "You can't talk about high-level tricks, why don't you invite these tribes to us and make a big deal?" ”
"Can you do this?" Zhiwen asked in surprise, this is much faster than him landing on the door one tribe at a time, "Won't the leader of Dalintai object?" ”
"What is he against?" Lin Yuan said, "Let me tell you, people are bored in winter, there is a rally, an event, or something, they are very excited, they can't wait to eat meat, drink wine, sing and dance every day like last night, but there are not so many things for them to squander." ”
"That's... I'll ask Brother Lin about this? Zhiwen asked.
"Hehe, I can't do it alone." Lin Yuan smiled, "I'm alone, can I be busy?" ”
"There are a lot of half-sized people like Meng Gen in the tribe who have eaten the last meal but not the next, you just need to take some food out as a reward, and ensure that they are scrambling to do this thing for you beautifully." Lin Yuan then pointed out, this idea, he is somewhat selfish, he just wants his friend Meng Gen to earn some extra money.
Zhiwen shook his hands on the horse, "Thank you Brother Lin for your clever plan!" "It's a great idea.
It's just that Lin Yuan was worried about Zhiwen again, "Brother Zheng, although these tribes we found for you are small, they all have to get together, and there are a lot of them, and there will be a lot of transactions at that time, do you have so many goods?" ”
Zhiwen smiled arrogantly, if he had asked him yesterday, he would not have dared to respond, but from today onwards, we are a rich man.
"Don't worry, Brother Lin, there will be no shortage of goods, I will send someone to Zhangjiakou to escort the goods here." Zhiwen patted his chest and promised that when the time came, he would just call a girl casually, drive the carriage out for a spin, and say that he would pick up the goods, and he would be full of returns.
"If only you had a good idea." Lin Yuan said.
While talking, the two had arrived at the camp unconsciously, but saw Xiaoying standing anxiously in front of Lin Yuan's tent, and Lin Qiao was accompanying her.
"Brother Xiao Zhi," as soon as she saw Zhiwen, Xiao Ying said anxiously, "Go and take a look, I'm afraid something will happen." ”
Zhiwen rode on the horse, and when he heard this, he glanced in the direction of his camp, and the herdsmen led their sheep and horses together, which looked a little messy, but there was no out-of-control.
"What's wrong? Don't rush, speak slowly. Zhiwen dismounted and comforted.
Lin Yuan also comforted, "Don't worry, although the Mongolian people are brave, they have always been very respectful to the guests and the caravan. ”
"Didn't you say that the focus was wool, and the girl discussed with us, and only accepted sheep, and didn't want anything else, and the people were not very happy, so they had to ask us to collect some more horses, but the price of our sheep was set very high, what happened to them?" Xiaoying said very aggrievedly.
