328 Tiger Skins
Along the way, Qing Wangye asked everything, Guo Mazi was a broker, and he was knowledgeable among the countrymen, and he tried his best to reply, and the reward given to the guests would be more when they were satisfied.
Ask how the Tartars who come to do business are doing, and how the guards manage this area.
Guo Mazi said: "The Tartars who come to trade are often here, registered in the Wei House, the new arrivals must be guaranteed by the elderly, and the Wei Institute must also be checked, the people in the Wei Institute are poisonous, the grazing Tartars and the Tartars of the conquest They can see, that is, our brokers are not casually put into the market, but also the old people who have been working for many years, and they must have the guarantee of the captain, so we have to pay some fees to the elders every year, and the same is true for the merchants, the new arrivals must have a note from the government to get out of the city, and the shopkeeper must have told the guests, otherwise they will run in vain." ”
Qing Wang Ye said: "I said, the strip has been opened, how can I go out of the city without asking clearly, and I also bring a few juniors to practice, let them go out to see and see." ”
"The guest officer is right, the little one plans to take the younger eldest son out next year to follow the little one, the little boss is a daughter, and he has already made a marriage, and now the little daughter-in-law still has one in her belly, and the family depends on the small one to support, and she will take her son next year, and she will have more income in the future."
Gao Zhao listened to it in the back, and felt that this broker was so good that he could talk about his family affairs, and he was indirectly sold miserably, arousing the sympathy of the guests, and rewarding him a lot.
However, after many years of dealing with merchants, honest people can't do it for long.
Qing Wang Ye naturally knew the meaning of Guo Mazi's words, and boasted: "It's not easy, it's not easy for us to come all the way to do business, in this way, we are here for the first time, and you can introduce some good goods at low prices in a while, so that I can also make some hard money, it's not that there is something delayed on the road, who comes to buy goods at this time, the business is done, I can't do without your silver." ”
Guo Mazi wanted this, and immediately responded, "Rest assured, what I introduced is good goods, at this time the purchase is cost-effective, all know that the leather goods in the hands of the Tartars can not go out quickly, the price can be cheaper than the first two months by one-third, and after a while, the merchants will be gone, all rushed home for the New Year, only a few big businessmen Jia left manpower, low prices to buy the inventory in the hands of the Tartars, small sheepskin jackets bought for the family, are made of leather bought before the year. ”
He can see that these people are not businessmen, and the others don't speak, and the people who speak don't understand anything.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, there were people coming in and out, and the guards of the city checked them one by one, and when it was their turn, the guards of the city all recognized Guo Mazi, and said with a smile: "I have business today, but I didn't see you come out yesterday." ”
Guo Mazi handed over the road slip and said, "Thanks to your old blessing, I took the order for business." ”
While acquainted, the defenders of the city carefully checked, and then released.
Master Yao handed over the road guide, and the defender of the city was stunned, counted the number of people, and passed.
Guo Mazi was also surprised, he didn't even look at each other one by one, he didn't know where these people came from, and he suddenly became cautious.
When they arrived at the market, the soldiers guarded it and did not fence it off, but people came and went from a fixed position, and they just watched the road and let people go.
Gao Zhao didn't walk in, he smelled a strange smell, and Jia Xibei covered his nose, "What smell?" It smells bad. ”
Guo Mazi said: "Tartar will not cook the skin, simply deal with it and sell it, the merchant buys it back and cooks it himself, some of the far away, find someone to cook it in Xingpingwei, there is a special cooked skin in the small village, if the guest officer needs it, the small one goes back to find him, the craftsmanship is assured, the ancestors have eaten this bowl of rice for generations, it is not bad." ”
"What do you mean by cooked skin?" Jasibe asked.
Gao Zhao dragged her, and asked to make it clear that he was a rookie, although Mr. Jia didn't understand the specific operation process, but he also knew that leather goods couldn't be worn without treatment, and several other juniors didn't understand it like Jia Xibei.
"Cooked leather is to process the fur, otherwise how to make a cloak and a coat? That one needs to be skilled, the level is good, and the cooked leather is soft, otherwise the hard one will ruin the skin. Qing Wang Ye explained.
Guo Mazi flattered: "The guest officer is a connoisseur at a glance, the small one introduces good craftsmanship, and the small one eats the bowl of rice of the broker, relying on the introduction, so the guest officer can rest assured." ”
"We'll talk about it then." Qing Wang Ye suddenly thought, send a stinky skin to the emperor's nephew, think about the appearance of him covering his nose, the scene must be beautiful.
Gao Zhaozheng wanted to celebrate the prince's serious speech, so he heard him laugh, turned his head to Wu Changliang and said, "Nephew, how about your uncle give your eldest cousin a piece of raw skin?" In order to give a gift to my nephew, I bought it and rushed back, don't be too moved by your eldest cousin, haha, this is a good idea, do the same for several other nephews, and be an uncle's heart. ”
Jia Xibei covered his mouth, Gao Zhao rolled his eyes in his heart, and just thought that he was serious, and immediately returned to his original state.
Mr. Jia was worried about the emperor in his heart, and there was a smell in the imperial study at that time, no wonder the emperor had no way to take the Qing prince, he could come up with all kinds of ideas that were not normal people could come up with.
It's a little comforting to think about being kind to yourself.
In the market, there are some herdsmen dressed in tartars, and there are piles of leather goods in front of them, some raw skins, some cooked skins stacked on top of each other.
Guo Mazi looked at the merchants one by one, and introduced: "There are guests who specialize in buying raw skins, buy them back in Xingpingwei and cook them themselves, they think the craftsmanship of the tartars is too poor, and some of the distant tartars can't come to the nearest often, so they have to deal with it simply at home, and they also learn from us, use the grass ash to cook the skins, and the number is more and transport them to sell together, and some of the nearby tartars are directly sold in the raw skins, the taste is not good, and the guest officers endure it." ”
Qing Wang Ye didn't cover his nose, he was very interested in looking at those raw skins, which were frozen hard in winter, but not as neat as those cooked skins.
"I said Guo Mazi, you can help me pick the best fur, if there is a wolf skin, it is better, buy it back as a mattress."
At this time, a Tartar took out the goods, and suddenly a group of people surrounded him, and a voice came: "Tiger skin!" It's still big and small, it's rare! ”
When Qing Wangye heard this, he was excited, and said to Guo Mazi: "You go quickly, both of them will help me get it, and I will give you a hundred taels of silver." ”
Guo Mazi was even more excited, he couldn't earn this amount in a year for one hundred taels, so he immediately rushed in, and King Qing followed him and squeezed in front of the people. How could Gao Zhao let go of this good opportunity, he couldn't afford it, but it was also luck to see the legendary tiger skin.
Without thinking about it, she took Gao Xingrong with one hand and Jia Xibei with the other, and said, "Xibei, let's go and have a look." ”
Jasibe's eyes widened as she pulled Gao Rong and her cousin into the crowd quickly, turned to her grandfather and said, "She ......"
Mr. Jia made a shushing motion, Jia Xibei understood, smiled silently, and Wang Jingzhou next to him stood next to her and took her little hand.
Jia Xibei turned his head and shook it off, smiled at Wang Jingzhou again, and stretched out his hand, Wang Jingzhou hurriedly took it, and it was next to each other, blocking the hands of the two.
Mr. Jia pretended not to see it, and stretched out his neck to look at the crowd.
