Chapter 225: Buying and Selling
Lin Qingqing's words blocked Hua Ming's words, and also calmed Hua Ming's faint righteous heart.
"Village Chief Wan, don't get along with these two people. As for me, I'm just a businessman, and I don't care about anything. Let's talk about our business. Lin Qingqing said.
"Okay then." Village Chief Wan paused for a moment and said, "Earlier, Miss Lin said that she could make our villagers eat meat, right?" ”
"Yes." Wan Village Chief.
"But how are you going to get over that cold and wet barrier?" Elder Qiu asked suspiciously.
"Leather. I guess you know that too. As long as the leather is thick enough, that kind of barrier is not a big problem. The main reason why you don't have contact with the outside world is that there is no leather in the village. Lin Qingqing said.
"Miss Lin is really smart. There is nothing in the village to protect from the cold. Even the coats on our bodies are only made of cotton. Elder Qiu said.
Elder Qiu's words made the three of them re-examine the coat on their bodies, only to find that it was actually made of hemp vine.
"This method of making cotton from hemp is very limited, and after a while, the clothes are no longer warm, and it takes a lot of labor to make this kind of coat. Therefore, the people in our village prefer to soak in the hot springs more. Village Chief Wan explained.
"It's ridiculous to say, we actually learned the habits of the remnants of the ancient city, and we slowly accepted that kind of complicated bathing ritual."
"In that case, we can also provide some warm fur jackets for the village." Lin Qingqing said.
"Is that true?" Elder Qiu said with some excitement.
"Really, of course it's true. However, I'm a businessman, and I hope you'll be able to exchange something for it. Lin Qingqing said.
Lin Qingqing's words made the scene cold. All the people in Xueyi Village stared at her.
"What exactly do you want?" Village Chief Wan asked with some trembling, he was ready to deal with Lin Qingqing's lion's big mouth.
"I want iron." Lin Qingqing said.
"Iron?" The villagers said suspiciously.
"yes, what else could we want? Do you have anything that you have not yet brought out? Lin Qingqing asked puzzled.
The villagers of Xueyi Village looked at each other, and then said, "We thought you would be interested in this ancient city. ”
"Forget it. We know that this ancient city is majestic, but even this altar has only been excavated so much, and I am afraid that the rest of the place is not to be seen. Lin Qingqing said.
"So, how much iron is exchanged for how much meat and a leather jacket?" Village Chief Wan asked.
"What is the price of the market, we will buy and sell." Lin Qingqing said. "One pound of meat for one pound of iron, and one leather jacket for eight pounds of iron."
"Isn't that a bit too ......," Village Chief Wan also asked with some puzzlement.
"It can't be cheaper, we just haven't found a place to buy it in Jiangle Village, do you still want to sit on the ground and start the price? Be careful, I'll go to the government and sue you. Lin Qingqing said halfway through, thinking that the other party was going to raise the price, and said.
Village Chief Wan looked at Lin Qingqing, who was a little fried, but smiled helplessly and didn't say anything.
'It's too preferential' is what the village chief Wan wants to say. If it were any other businessman, they wouldn't know how hard they would knock the bamboo pole. From this point of view, Lin Qingqing's self-title of 'businessman' is actually not appropriate.
After discussing the details of the deal with the village chief and the elders, Lin Qingqing, Xing Qianye and Hua Ming were entertained by the villagers.
Although there was not much meat and wine at the feast, a variety of salted vegetables and fried sweet potatoes were placed on a large table. For the villagers in the mountain village, it is already a feast.
However, everyone present could see that Lin Qingqing was a little absent-minded.
"Miss Lin, what's wrong with you? Isn't the food here to your liking? Village Chief Wan said amiably.
"Yes, Miss Lin, we have just negotiated the details of the cooperation, no matter what, we have to celebrate it." Xiaotong said on the side.
Although Xiaotong is only a junior, it seems that the whole village is quite optimistic about him, so this time she was arranged to sit next to Lin Qingqing.
"Ah, sorry, I just thought about something." Lin Qingqing came back to his senses and said.
After speaking, Lin Qingqing took the sweet wine that Xiaotong poured for her and took a sip. "What is this made of? Why is it so sweet? ”
"Miss Lin, this is the only secret recipe in our village, which is brewed with sweet potatoes." Village Chief Wan said with some pride.
"However, I have drunk some sweet potato-made wine, but it doesn't have this sweetness? Can you still grow sugar beets in your village? Lin Qingqing asked curiously. ”
Miss Lin said with a smile, you can't grow sugar beets in this kind of field. It's just that our sweet potatoes need to be left for a month, and the melons will slowly become sweet, and then made into wine, and it will become what Miss Lin drank. Village Chief Wan said.
"This sweet potato will only rot in an ordinary place, and if you want to pile it up, you can only put it in the kiln. Village Chief Wan, do you know how to dig a kiln? When Lin Qingqing said this, his eyes were a little straight, and he stared at Village Chief Wan and said.
"Miss Lin is really smart, we do have a few newly dug cellars in our village." Village Chief Wan replied. "Xiao Tong, who is sitting next to you, is in charge of digging the cellar at that time."
"Okay, okay." Lin Qingqing said: "Nawan village chief, we will borrow this young man, you see if we want to take someone down." ”
Lin Qingqing said happily. Then, she picked up Hua Ming and said, "Look at this little child who likes to pretend to be mature." ”
"Miss Lin, what are you going to ......," Hua Ming said in disbelief.
Fortunately, the people in Xueyi Village did not want to leave Hua Ming in the end.
After simply finishing this meal, Lin Qingqing said that he wanted to go back.
"Village Chief Wan, thank you for your hospitality this time. We're going back now, and we're going to get ready for us. If it's fast, in two days, our goods will be shipped. When the time comes, we'll talk about the deal. Lin Qingqing said.
"Miss Lin, there's no need to be in such a hurry. The wind and snow outside will weaken for two more days, and if you force you to leave, you will only be frozen outside. There's no need to rush this time. The village chief Wan explained.
"But I really want to get back to the village as soon as possible......
"Miss Lin." Xing Qianye approached Lin Qingqing, then took out a porcelain bottle from his cuff, poured one, and handed it to Lin Qingqing's hand.
"Let's eat this first." Xing Qianye said.
"Why do I need to take medicine?" Lin Qingqing asked puzzled.
However, Xing Qianye's eyes were too firm, which made Lin Qingqing a little stunned, and he ate it obediently.
