Chapter 116: The Blacksmith of Udana
After eating the mutton steamed buns, Lao Huang refused to accept Wang Xiang's money, Wang Xiang was not hypocritical, and thought about going back to the Chamber of Commerce to tell Lao Huang to get a shop in Chinatown.
The shops in Chinatown are not to mention a meal of mutton steamed buns, these days I don't know how many merchants from the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions have sent him gold and silver, he has not accepted it, and helping Lao Huang is just a matter of doing as he likes.
The gifts that Wang Xiang selected for Wushun were all gadgets unique to the Western Regions, which had no practical use, so they were fresh.
Ju Yiya was much more careful when choosing gifts.
"This is the incense powder of Che Shiguo, it is fragrant on the body, my sister must like it."
A small box of pale pink powder, I don't know what kind of flower petals are used to grind the powder, when I get closer, I can smell a faint fragrance, it is really light, what makes Wang Xiang feel speechless is that just such a small box of fragrant powder actually asks for a golden bean.
Seeing that Wang Xiang was a little puzzled, Ju Yiya explained: "Incense powder is not easy to get, there is no special method, even if the petals are ground into powder, the fragrance cannot be retained, and not all flowers can be made into incense powder." ”
Ju Yiya carefully put away the first gift for Wushun, Wang Xiang really couldn't bear to tell her that Wushun has more than a dozen brand perfumes with different fragrances, and as long as a small drop can keep the fragrance for a few days.
"Is this incense powder valuable?" A golden bean can be exchanged for a yak, which means that such a small box of fragrant powder can be exchanged for a yak.
"Of course, there are very few of this kind of incense powder, generally as long as it appears, it will be bought back by the nobles, who doesn't want their wives to be fragrant, we are lucky to just buy it, this kind of incense powder is more expensive in Datang."
Wang Xiang leaned close to Ju Yiya and whispered in her ear, "Have you also used this kind of incense powder?" I smell your fragrance more fragrant than this powder. ”
Ju Yiya's face was red and said shyly: "I, I didn't use incense powder, the fragrance on my body is ...... It's already there. ”
"Oh. It turned out to be a natural body fragrance. Wang Xiang couldn't help but sniff his nose lightly.
"Oh, I won't tell you, I still have to help my sister choose a gift."
Wang Xiang haha, the size makes everyone feel inexplicable.
In addition to the incense powder, Ju Yiya also chose many other gifts, most of which were things used by women in the Western Regions to dress up.
Laifu was not idle, and made a big purchase. Now he is the most promising subordinate of the Hou Mansion, and the dividends given to him by the first wine shop have made him richer than the ordinary small businessmen in Chang'an City, so naturally he will not forget to bring some gifts back to Dazhu, Erzhu and Xiaoya.
Only Tie Dan didn't know how to buy some gifts for Akinu, but Akinu bought him a lot of things along the way.
Wang Xiang suddenly saw that Begonia who was following behind seemed a little embarrassed, and asked curiously: "Begonia, do you have something?" ”
Haitang hesitated for a moment and whispered embarrassedly: "I want to buy some gifts for my father, but I forgot to bring money when I came to Xizhou." ”
Of course, Wang Xiang was not happy to buy something for Hou Junji, but Begonia was also filial. Besides, she is still the apprentice of Tiedan.
"You can buy whatever you want, I'll bring the money."
Haitang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "When I return to Chang'an, I will definitely return it to you." ”
Wang Xiang smiled and said, "What is not returned, you are now Tie Dan's apprentice, and Tie Dan is my guard, can you use it so clearly." It's not easy to come to the Western Regions once, and if you have anything you like, just buy it, and it will be a gift from Tie Dan to your apprentice. ”
Tie Dan rarely understood, and said in an urn voice: "Yes." I haven't given you a gift yet, so you can buy whatever you like. I have money here. ”
Wang Xiang saw Aqi Nu whispering something in Tie Dan's ear, and he knew in his heart, and Tie Dan's head couldn't think of saying this.
Haitang has a straightforward temperament, and said with a smile after listening to Tiedan's words: "Thank you, master." ”
Winked at Akinu and smiled: "Thank you, Master." ”
Every time I heard Begonia call her sister Aqinu, she was very happy, and asked with a smile: "Do you value something?" ”
Begonia nodded excitedly.
Everyone is curious about what she values, Begonia is different from ordinary women, other women like beautiful clothes and good-looking accessories. But she likes to wear a hedgehog and dance with a sword every day.
Following Begonia to the stall of a merchant in the Western Regions, everyone couldn't help but chuckle.
The dark-skinned merchant from the Western Regions in front of him sold all kinds of weapons, including scimitars, axes, and many weapons that Wang Xiang couldn't recognize, and the quality was very good.
What Begonia values is a short sword with a cold light. Even people like Wang Xiang, who don't know much about weapons, can see that this short sword is much better than the other weapons on the stall, which makes him very surprised, Datang's forging technology can be said to be far ahead of the Western Regions, but this short sword is obviously much better than Datang's best Chongmo knife, and even the kitchen knife he brought from later generations is far inferior.
"How do you sell this sword?"
Merchants in the Western Regions usually know a little Chinese, but this dark-skinned merchant from the Western Regions only shook his head when he heard Haitang's words.
Haitang didn't know what he meant by shaking his head, and looked puzzled.
Akinu on the side seemed to be accustomed to seeing this situation and said, "He means not to sell this sword." ”
"Why don't you sell him here?"
Akinu smiled and explained, "He should be the blacksmith of the country of Udana, and the blacksmiths of the country of Udana have the best ability to build weapons in the entire Western Regions, but they don't create the best weapons for money, but in exchange for other things." ”
It turned out to be a blacksmith, no wonder it was so dark, Haitang secretly opened his mouth and asked, "Are you going to exchange this sword for something?" ”
Hearing Begonia's question, the blacksmith nodded.
"What do you want to change?"
The blacksmith did not speak, but pulled open the quilt sewn from animal skins behind him, and a teenager curled up underneath, looking somewhat similar to the blacksmith.
The young man's body looked very strong, but at this time he was unconscious, and there was a wound the size of a bowl on his left leg, which had begun to fester.
Seeing the appearance of the young man, Akinu and Begonia both frowned, the blacksmith's meaning was very obvious, he wanted to use the short sword in exchange for healing the young man's injuries, but the wounds on the young man's legs had begun to fester, and they could not be treated at all.
However, Aqinu still asked people to go to the palace of the Western Prefecture to invite the priests of the palace, and the priests of most countries in the Western Regions also served as doctors.
The priest shook his head helplessly after seeing the young man's wound, such a wound was beyond his ability, and the wound festered in ancient times, there was basically no hope of healing.
The priests invited from the Xizhou royal palace were powerless to do anything about the young man's wounds, and the blacksmith's face was even more gloomy. (To be continued......)
