Chapter 13: The Humble Deal
ps: The toothache is dying, the cheeks are swollen and shiny, and the heat is like a fire. The whole gum became red and swollen, I haven't slept well for two days, the update has become unstable, it's my fault, take advantage of the fact that it started to get better today, write more.
Yuanshan is a very big mountain, big enough to separate the strong Tubo and Song people, of course, there is no endless road in the sky, no matter how steep the mountain will be there will be a sheep intestine trail to pass, as a mountain people, Lai Ba is the most haode pathfinder.
It only takes half a month to come and go, and when Lai Ba left a few ugly bull heads on the Lying Cow Stone, he was full of confidence in Yun Zheng's Jihua, and did what this fairy-like boy arranged, and those vicious Tubo people did not eat themselves, but gave themselves the greatest courtesy.
It doesn't matter if you don't make sense of words, as long as you see a Tibetan person, you will be given a snow-white salt cube, and then you will be rewarded with an outrageous gift of warmth.
The mutton is very good, but it is not cooked very well, and the ghee is warm all over the body, but what he misses the most is something else, Naxi's wife is good, and his daughter is also good, I didn't expect their bodies under the leather robe to be so delicate and soft, and coming twice a night is really nothing to the strong Lai Ba, when they got into their arms in the middle of the night, they were always worried that the Tubo brother Naxi who was sleeping next to him would jump up and hack himself, and as a result, he was busy all night, and Naxi slept whirring, Lai Ba didn't believe that Naxi couldn't hear it, because his wife shouted "Jinzhu" very loudly, and she screamed so much.
(Note: The custom of treating wives and daughters of the Tibetan people still existed until the liberation, this is a custom determined by their nomadic life, perennial loneliness, marriage within a small range, will cause a serious decline in the quality of the entire tribe, this is a fact, not the author is talking nonsense, or deliberately belittling this nation, from the general point of view, they can survive in the harshest natural environment is indispensable for a strong body.) )
Lai Ba, who was lying on the sunny slope, picked his teeth and waited for Yun Zheng's arrival with peace of mind, there were five yaks grazing at the foot of the mountain, this kind of cow with thick fur all over his body, God knew what the young man was doing with it, although he was a little sorry for the death of a cow, but there was no way, that road was too difficult to walk, and it was already his greatest ability to bring five cows back.
I hope Yun Zheng will not be dissatisfied, Lai Ba now thinks that the Tubo people are really good, and there is no one among the Song people, who is so bold that he takes out his wife and daughter to entertain them. Grandma's, last time I looked at the black boss's wife more, and he knocked out two teeth, or the Tubo brothers, Naxi's wife and daughter are really not picky except for the taste.
When he put three catties of salt in front of the strongest yak, signaling that Naxi could take away the salt, and he wanted to take away the cow, Naxi was very happy.
Therefore, the later transaction is more convenient, as long as the three-catty bag of salt is hung on the horns, Naxi will automatically tie the cow with a rope woven with manes, take away the salt quickly, and hand the rope to Lai Ba, the remaining little salt is not enough to exchange for a cow, so Lai Ba generously gave the salt bag and the remaining salt to Naxi according to Yun Zheng's explanation, and the roll of linen he brought was given to the two women who served him all night.
The consequence of this was that when Naxi sent himself to the mountain road, he could still hear the Tibetan women standing on the meadow singing sad songs, which made Lai Ba's heart full of unpleasantness.
"Five cows? Or is it such a big cow? Lai, yes, it seems that our transaction has been successful, you will run this business in the future, and give me all the cattle in exchange, and I will give you an extra pound of salt and a horse of linen for a cow. ”
Looking at Yun Zheng and looking at the infinite joy, Lai Ba's little worry in his heart disappeared, it was done, the first step was done, and the rest was to carry out the most primitive accumulation according to what Yun Zheng said, as long as he could maintain the business road, and then kill those Yuanshan who were in trouble, the life in the mountain would be more nourishing than those on the flat ground.
"Yunda, I'm going to go home and set off immediately, and go to the meadow again, this time with my two brothers, and try to get more cattle and sheep back. But I don't have the goods, it's up to you to buy them. ”
Yun Zheng turned back to the lazy Lai Ba and said: "This is natural, there is no reason why I have to squeeze oil and water from you when you go to the mountain, doing business requires everyone to make money to do it for a long time."
We don't lie to the Tibetan people, Lai Ba, you remember this to death, never fool the Tibetan people, although their intelligence is relatively low, but the people who can survive in the ice and snow must have his superiority, tough, strong, admitting death is some of the characteristics, as long as you deceive them once, you will never want to get their forgiveness in your life.
Of course, this is for ordinary herdsmen, for those cunning snake-like heads, you had better have more eyes, the more noble people have more eyes, and the worse they are. So, you have to avoid dealing with those people, remember, you're not very smart. ”
Lai Baxiao said, "Of course I'm not smart enough, don't I still have you?" When I encounter something I can't solve, I will leave it to you, and I will forget it, and I will pave a way for the mountain people to live with peace of mind. ”
Yun Zheng walked over and patted Lai Ba's shoulder and said, "With this thought, you are already a saint, as long as you don't live up to me, I won't fail you, this is a guarantee."
I'm a slippery person, I don't make promises easily, once I make a promise, I will try to keep it, at least you can rest assured, I won't do anything sorry for you in front of interests. We'd better live to be friends when we're dying. ”
Lai Haha smiled, roughly hugged Yun Zheng into his arms and hugged him tightly, and then planned to leave. Only those who do not take promises lightly will make promises, and Lai Ba still knows this truth.
"Next time I go to business, don't let the cow's back be empty, they must have a lot of cowhide, that's a good thing, we can use that thing to make leather armor and leather boots in the Song Dynasty, as long as there is it, you can buy it, the price is according to the price of the cow 30%, and the Angong bezoar, this thing is expensive, you must get it back."
"Got it!" Lai Ba agreed, and got into Lin Mang and disappeared. In the blink of an eye, he poked his head out of the grass and asked Yun Zheng: "Do you know what "golden bead" means?
"I know what it means to save the Bodhisattva who saves the suffering. Why do you ask this? ”
"It's okay, just ask." Lai Ba smiled weirdly and got into the grass again.
Bacon and Yun Er took Yun San to stay next to the Lying Niu Stone and waited anxiously for Yun Da to come out of the mountain, seeing Yun Da poking his head out of the grass and smiling at them, he pulled out five strange cows from the grass like a trick.
The bacon wanted to run, Yun San also began to call, these cows were covered with thick fur, and their eyes were covered by cow hair, like monsters, but Yun Er stood on the ox cart and clapped his hands happily, and there was going to be beef at home soon.
