As soon as the eastern sky turned white, Hag had already come out of the stuffy tent, and then picked up a piece of linen cloth to wipe the oil and sweat on his face, and cursed a few words in a low voice The damn weather in the Central Plains, if it weren't for making money, he wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles from the grassland to the Central Plains, and he had to endure this scorching hot weather, and he couldn't even sleep well. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Slackers, hurry up and get up for Lao Tzu, move the car forward, it will definitely be our turn today!" Haag strode over to several large cars on the road, and then kicked the guys in the cars one by one and shouted.

Hag is a Hu merchant from the grassland, when he came, he pulled a few carts of fur, and the result was sold very smoothly, and he naturally couldn't go back empty-handed, in addition to porcelain and silk, the most sought-after thing now is tea, and even on the grassland, tea is simply a life-saving thing like salt, and he doesn't have to worry about selling it at a price.

However, the tea of Datang is too sought-after, and if you want to buy tea in Chang'an, only Princess Pingyang's family has a tea workshop outside the city, and as a result, there is an endless stream of people who come here to buy tea every day, coupled with the lack of production, resulting in a long queue, some people have even been lined up here for seven or eight days, for this situation, the tea workshop has no choice, but I heard that several large warehouses will be built near Chang'an, dedicated to the operation of tea, and when these warehouses are completed, it is estimated that it will be easier for them to buy tea.

It's not the first time Hag has bought tea, last time he also bought a batch of tea here and shipped it back, and it turned out to be dozens of times more profitable, which is better than silk and porcelain, so this time after he sold the fur, he was ready to exchange all the money for tea and ship it back, but this time his luck was not very good, today is already the sixth day of the queue, but it is still not his turn, but it should be fast, at least his location can already see the sixth year of the tea workshop.

Haag's buddies are all recruited by him from the tribe he came from, almost all of them are his relatives, and now they are eating with him, and after a long time, they are not as big or small as him, and now they are hungry as soon as they wake up, in fact, Hag is also hungry, and at the moment he asked people to go to the breakfast stall next to him to buy a lot of steamed buns, and they mixed a belly round with hot water that did not need money.

That is, the weather is still cooler in the morning, and you can eat, but at noon, the sun is on your head, and it is so hot that people can't feel a trace of coolness when you sit in the shade, and then you only care about drinking water, and you can't eat anything at all.

Hag is also a Hu person, but he is the head of the caravan, and he has always envied the culture of the Han people, so he usually tries to get closer to the Han people in his usual life, especially to distinguish himself from his men, for example, most of his men wear fur fur, even if it is summer, at most he takes off the fur fur on his upper body and hangs it on his waist, and his upper body is full of braids, so he knows that he is a Hu person at a glance, but Hag likes to wear Han clothes, and when he usually eats, he will chew slowly like a Han person, if it is not for the difference in appearance with the Han people, I'm afraid no one else can believe that he is a nonsense.

It is precisely because of this that Hag did not nibble on steamed buns or Hu cakes with his friends, but came to the breakfast stall by himself, asked for a bowl of soup cakes, sprinkled with coriander, and poured a lot of vinegar into it, which was sour and salty and just appetizing, speaking of which the prairie people don't like to be jealous, but Hag likes it very much, especially when it is hot in the summer, he can't put down the vinegar seasoning, and even likes to dip it in vinegar when eating barbecue.

A bowl of steaming soup cakes went down, and Hag was also sweating, at this time the sun in the east had just revealed half of his face, but the sky and the earth were already hot, which also made him curse again, but thinking of the value of this batch of tea transported to the grassland, he could only endure the big sin.

Hag likes money very much, and he has worked hard to make money over the years, and he is not like many Hu businessmen, who squander money everywhere when he makes money, or go to the nobles in the headquarters, his money is saved by him, because he plans to buy a yard in Chang'an or Luoyang for a few more years, and then take his family to Datang to live, after all, compared to the hard and chaotic life on the grassland, Datang is much richer and more stable.

Haag's luck is good today, although there is a long queue in front of him, but in fact, there are two big buyers, each buyer has dozens of cars, it is said that all of them are big wealthy merchants from the Western Regions, and the caravans organized by merchants like them every time are thousands of people, with countless camels and horses, just like an army, not to mention horse thieves and robbers, even ordinary small countries dare not touch them.

Looking at the wealthy businessmen in the Western Regions in front of him spending a lot of money and filling dozens of carts, Hag also showed envy, but he also knew that although these wealthy businessmen were chic, they also took great risks, and the road was far away.

The two wealthy merchants in front of them quickly loaded the tea and left, and before noon, Hag hurried his convoy to the door, and he went up to salute the steward of the workshop, and then reported the amount of tea he needed.

Tea has always been in short supply, the workshop is responsible for picking up the goods of the steward is also very arrogant, no matter what kind of big businessman comes, you have to say a few good words politely, do not ask the other party to take care of it, just ask the other party not to make it difficult for him, otherwise the team will be in vain these days, Haag naturally knows this truth, so he sees the other party is also a good word, but he does not dare to give gifts, because I heard that the princess's mansion is strictly managed, and the last manager who is responsible for picking up the goods was transferred to the coal mine to be a supervisor because of the gift. Every day with soot is bitter and tiring, but it is much harder than now.

However, although Haag's kind words continued, the steward did not have a good face, after all, he was so busy all day that he didn't have time to listen to Haag's nonsense, but quickly asked people to carry the tea that Hag needed to the car, and at the same time counted the money sent by Haag, and after confirming that it was correct, Hag was asked to hurry away, so as not to block the way of the people behind.

Seeing that the goods had arrived, Haag was eager to leave for the grassland immediately, so he thanked the steward and was about to leave immediately, but as soon as the first carriage turned around, the steward who picked up the goods suddenly said, "Wait a minute! ”

"What else do you have to do?" Haag was shocked when he heard the steward's words, thinking that something had changed, but he still stopped and turned around and asked, after all, he couldn't run away if he wanted to.

"It's nothing, you're lucky today, the workshop has prepared a batch of gifts to give to you customers, I'll ask you to get a few bottles!" As soon as the steward's words fell, someone immediately came over with two jars and threw them directly into Haag's arms, but he didn't know what the jars contained?

"This is called chili sauce, our horse's favorite seasoning, more expensive than pepper, I usually can't eat it, today it's cheaper for you!" After speaking, the steward waved his hand and motioned for Hag to leave, he had said this advertising word several times, and he was a little impatient, but this was ordered by the above, and he didn't dare not say it.

Hag heard that this was a gift from the workshop to his customers, and his heart was relieved at the moment, and then he thanked him again and left, and after getting into the carriage, he picked up the jars in his arms and looked at them, and found that the two jars were only the size of a fist, and there was a piece of paper pasted on them, and a slender fruit was painted on the paper, which he had never seen, it was probably the chili pepper that the steward said, and there were a few Chinese characters written below, Hag could speak Chinese, and he knew a lot of Chinese characters, otherwise it was easy to suffer when doing business with Han people, So it's easy to recognize the word on it as "Wang Liu's Chili Sauce".

"Uncle Haag, what did the tea workshop give you?" At this moment, the caravan man who was driving next to him also poked his head curiously and asked, he saw that this jar was fired with white porcelain, and it looked very delicate, so he was a little curious.

"The steward said that it was a kind of spice, and even their horses liked to eat it, but it was really strange that the tea workshop sent spices?" Haag was half answering and half talking to himself.

With curiosity in his heart, Hag immediately opened a jar, the jar was sealed with cork, which reminded him of the canned food he had eaten before, for people like them who have been in the layman for many years, canned food is simply their favorite, but the price of canned food is not cheap, so when he is usually outside, he mainly eats dry food, and occasionally he will give his buddies bottles of canned food as a reward.

The stopper of the can was easily opened, and Hag immediately felt a spicy breath rushing to his face, and the young man next to him even sneezed out, so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew his hand, so that he was not hit into the can by the other party's sneezing.

"Stinky boy, be careful with me, this thing can be given away, it's definitely not cheap, maybe it's not worth selling you!" Hag scolded the young man next to him, and then he didn't bother to pay attention to him, and began to concentrate on studying the chili sauce in his hand.

Although the taste of this chili sauce is very strong, Haag soon discovered that this thing should be similar to pepper, both of which are spicy condiments, and since this thing is sauce, it should be similar to soybean sauce and noodle sauce.

Thinking of this, Hag also wanted to taste the taste of this chili sauce, just this morning the guys did not finish the Hu Cake, so he found half a Hu Cake and broke it from the middle, smeared some Chili Sauce with his hand, first took a small bite, and found that this Chili Sauce was really spicy, and just one bite made him sweat.

But it's strange to say, in such a hot weather, although Hag was sweating profusely from the spicy head, he felt a great appetite, and the Hu cakes that he was usually tired of eating became very delicious, and he ate them one bite after another, and even the sweat was dripping freely, even if he was inhaled by the spicy side, but he couldn't help but want to eat again.
