In modern times, precious items such as pepper and peppercorns, which were called spices in ancient times, are just ordinary household condiments, which can be bought in the vegetable market of any small town, and it is very easy to obtain.

As soon as he came out of the space-time corridor, Wang Zhi immediately called his second uncle - the mobile phone used to find out the situation in the other world would naturally not be the one he usually used: "Second uncle, I have found a new buyer, please help me purchase 20 catties of cardamom, pepper, pepper, cloves, cinnamon, cumin, and five-spice powder, and then get some samples of other seasonings." ”

In many non-private occasions, Wang Zhi will refer to the other world as a buyer.

"Are you in a hurry now?"

"I want it now, it's not hard to buy these things anyway, but second uncle, you think about where to put the things after you buy them, you can't take them home by yourself, right?" Wang Zhi vaguely reminded that he now lives in the second uncle's house, and he usually goes to the space-time corridor to investigate the situation, so he has to be careful not to let the second aunt and little sister find out, and it is difficult to secretly move the spices here.

The second uncle felt that what Wang Zhi said was also very reasonable, and he couldn't always live in his own house, so he said: "I still have a house in the south of the city, and it's okay for you to always sleep on the sofa, so go there to live in the future, and I'll come to pick you up after I buy things." ”

After speaking, the second uncle hung up the phone in a hurry. From the murmur on the phone, it can be judged that the second uncle should be at a construction site somewhere at this time, he should be contacting the construction team, and after waiting boredly at home for almost two hours, Wang Zhi's mobile phone rang, and he hurriedly connected: "Wang Zhi, I'm downstairs, you come down quickly." ”

Wang Zhi hurriedly went downstairs, saw the second uncle's car parked outside the door, and immediately went up.

"Discovered a new world?" The second uncle asked as he drove the car.

"Well, in the parallel world, the time is the fourth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, that is, when Li Shimin was in power, most of the condiments at that time needed to be imported, and the price was high. Wang Zhi smiled very happily, he finally had a stable trading partner, and he even thought about what to exchange pepper for: "Second uncle, you go to Xinjiang in a few days to inquire about going to Xinjiang to buy rough jade ore, and then find an opportunity to buy a batch of rough stones, because ancient gold is not easy to realize, and the price is not high, so I plan to use seasoning to exchange jade seeds from the Tang Dynasty, and go to Xinjiang to cover up the source of these jades." ”

"yes, I see."

The second uncle nodded his head, and then didn't say anything, drove the car intently, and soon arrived at a community in the south of the city, parked the car under a unit, the second uncle took out the key to open the door, and stuck it with a stone, so that it would not close automatically, and then the uncle and nephew turned into porters to move hundreds of catties of spices in the trunk to the building.

It took a while to move all the spices into the building, and then to the elevator, and then to the elevator, and I was busy for a while.

It took about ten minutes before and after all the spices were transferred to the house located on the fifth floor. The second uncle's house has an area of more than 100 square meters, which is similar to what he lives in now, but because it is vacant and no one lives, he has not carefully decorated it, but only added some wooden furniture, but appliances such as TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines have not been added.

However, Wang Zhi is not a picky person, for him, all he needs is a house, a bed, a table, and a computer.

The uncle and nephew sat on the sofa, Wang Zhi took out a few hairpins given to him by Jiang Xuehui and put them on the table: "Second uncle, this is a deposit, you can find a channel to sell them, although they will not be identified as antiques because they are too new, but the material is gold and sandalwood, which can always be worth some money." ”

The second uncle picked up the three hairpins and looked at them, and said: "Such a small sandalwood is not worth much, the main thing is that this gold-headed hairpin has some weight, if it is also gold, it can be sold for one to twenty thousand yuan just at the gold price." ”

Hearing this, Wang Zhi immediately put away the three hairpins, at this stage they are not short of 20,000 yuan, it is not worth running for nothing in order to sell them: "Then forget it, I will keep it and give it away later." ”

Putting away the hairpin, Wang Zhi remembered that Jiang Xuehui wanted to copy the book, so he said: "Second uncle, please go and buy some solar panels, batteries and light bulbs, the traverser in the Tang Dynasty will ask for it, and get some more paper and pencils." ”

"How much power does solar energy need, and how much does it cost?" The second uncle asked.

"I don't know much about this, but you only need to provide lighting power, you let the store give you some suggestions, power generation panels and batteries to buy five sets first, I estimate that this thing is in great demand, maybe I will continue to buy it in the future, and buy energy-saving lamps for electric lights, but don't buy ordinary wires for wires, buy that kind of socket plug, the traverser will not be electrician, if the wiring is electrocuted, it will be a big trouble."

Electric lamps are indeed a necessity for the ancient travelers who lived in ancient times who could only rely on oil lamps for lighting, and it is also a very high-quality weapon, and there will definitely be many places to use it in the future.

"But where do you put the things when you buy them? Solar panels are not small and difficult to pick up. The second uncle asked, his house is indeed not very suitable for temporary warehouses and transit places, on the fifth floor, or a residential building, it is inconvenient to carry large goods.

"Furniture and tables can be moved in, and the power generation board should not be a problem, but the second uncle really reminded me that this place is indeed not suitable for a transit place, it is too high, and it is inconvenient to carry things, but I am not at ease when renting someone else's warehouse, so I suggest buying a van, whether it is to send things to the space-time corridor or to take things out from it, it can be carried out in the carriage, not to mention, and it also saves the step of moving things in or out of the warehouse." Wang Zhi proposed, this idea was his original idea, and then he forgot it for a while because he was too busy, and now he remembered it again as soon as the second uncle said it.

"Good idea, I'll go buy a car now, and I'll wait for the solar panels to be bought in the truck, and then I'll move them in the truck." The second uncle was also decisive, gave the house key to Wang Zhi and left immediately, and said before leaving: "As for the pen and paper, you can go to the supermarket outside the community to buy it yourself." ”

So Wang Zhi followed his second uncle out of the door, caught up with him downstairs, took a hitchhiker to the supermarket outside the community, and bought a box of letter paper inside, and bought a lot of pens, pens, pens, pens, and ink.

Back in the house, Wang Zhi immediately closed all the curtains, and then moved everything to the toilet - there were no windows in the toilet, and when the door was closed, it was a secret room, the most hidden place in the house.

Opening the space-time corridor in the toilet, Wang Zhi carried the bags of spices to the space gate of the No. 5 Tang Dynasty World, and was busy for a while, and it was at this time that he remembered the cart he had always wanted to buy but always forgot.

took out his mobile phone and wrote the cart in the memo, and looked at the time again, two hours and forty-three minutes had passed since he and Jiang Xuehui ended talking, a total of one hundred and sixty-four minutes.

Opening the space door, Wang Zhi saw Jiang Xuehui for the first time, and it seemed that he had been staying here.

"You're here." Seeing Wang Zhi reappear, Jiang Xuehui showed a relieved expression on his face, and when the space door disappeared, he was really afraid that Wang Zhi would never appear again.

"Well, how long has it been over there?" Wang Zhi asked.

Hearing this, Jiang Xuehui immediately took out Wang Zhi's mobile phone, looked at the time, and replied: "It's been four hours and eleven minutes, and it's almost dark on my side." ”

At this time, Wang Zhicai noticed that the light on Jiang Xuehui's side was very dim, and it should have been dusk.

"Four hours and eleven minutes is two hundred and fifty-one minutes, and only one hundred and sixty-four minutes have passed on my side, and the time flow speed on your side is twice as fast as mine!" Wang Zhi exclaimed, he originally thought that the difference in the speed of time between the two worlds was at most a few percent, and who knew that it would be almost doubled.

"It's not as much as double, it's almost half as much, fifteen minutes have passed on my side, and ten minutes have passed on your side." Jiang Xuehui corrected Wang Zhi's mistake, and the difference in the world's flow rate was far less than double.

Hearing this, Wang Zhi blushed and immediately changed the topic: "Anyway, no matter what, the time on your side is faster than mine, and I am curious why our conversation is not affected by the flow of time." ”

"How do I know this, this space door is yours!" Jiang Xuehui rolled her eyes.

"Forget it, don't worry about this kind of detail." For this kind of incomprehensible thing, Wang Zhi's usual way to deal with it is not to want to, "I bought all the spices, you dodge it, I'll throw it over." ”

The spices are sealed in plastic stand-up pouches and placed in tightly tied cloth bags, so Wang Zhi is not worried about them breaking at all.

Hearing Wang Zhi's words, Jiang Xuehui immediately let go very wisely, and then Wang Zhi picked up a bag of spices and threw them over, and after throwing away the last package of five-spice powder, Wang Zhi introduced: "This is your starting capital, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, pepper, pepper, cumin 20 catties each, in addition to tangerine peel, star anise, grass fruit, mountain pepper and other seasonings each half a catty as samples, there are logos on it." ”

"Why don't you have chili?" Jiang Xuehui asked.

Hearing this, Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment, he actually forgot about chili pepper, the most commonly eaten seasoning, but he was also single, and replied directly: "I forgot." ”

"How can you forget about chili? How can I make hot pot without chili, and I originally planned to sell all kinds of spices through hot pot, a way of eating for ancient nobles, at handkerchief parties! Jiang Xuehui said frantically, if a person of her status wants to sell goods, she naturally can't directly tell those noble ladies that she got a lot of spices like a businessman and ask them if they want to buy them, but in a more elegant way.

"When did hot pot become the way of eating for the ancient aristocracy?" Wang Zhi asked curiously.

"You dirt bun, haven't you heard of Ding Shi? Isn't hot pot just Ding food, dealing with those ancient people who don't know anything, naturally I say what it is. ”

"With your conditions, you shouldn't be able to make a lot of shabu-shabu in a short time, and you don't know how to mix the base, what are you going to do with this feast?" Wang Zhi asked, the productivity in ancient times was low, even if it was an ordinary shabu-shabu, it would take some time to make it, and the material must be made of copper, which cannot be made with iron.

"Of course it's up to you?" Jiang Xuehui looked as a matter of course: "You can buy the hot pot and the base, and you can also help me get some drinks, and there are very few vegetables on my side, and mushrooms and fungus are even more delicacies, and you are also responsible for providing them, in short, all the ingredients, except for meat, the rest are provided by you." ”

"Aren't you afraid of modern germs, the current germs go to your time, and they will 100% become an unsolvable plague!"

"I don't know what germs are attached to vegetable fungus, and if there are germs, there will be them on the seasoning you throw over, if we care about so many things, we don't have to do business." Jiang Xuehui looks like a bachelor.

"Okay, you're broad." Wang Zhi gave Jiang Xuehui a thumbs up and admired the other party's courage, this is doing business with his life!

As for you saying that you are not afraid of the plague, we have antibiotics. But can antibiotics be abused, do you know how many doses to give to ancient people who have never been exposed to antibiotics, this thing will kill people if you take too much.

"How many people do you want to invite, give a breakdown, and I can help you prepare the materials." Wang Zhi said.

"According to the standard of 100 people, in addition, this is a separate meal system, and each person has to have a pot alone." Jiang Xuehui reminded.

"Understand, I can help you prepare in two or three days, and let me tell you, the settlement method on my side is to collect jade, preferably seed material or raw ore, so that it is easy to sell, it is really not good to gold, and I mainly accept these two payment methods for the time being."

Hearing this, Jiang Xuehui thought for a while and asked, "Do you want that Tian Huangshi?" This thing should be much more expensive than jade of the same grade in modern times. ”

Hearing Jiang Xuehui's words, Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment before reacting, and then slapped his head sharply, how could he forget this baby, and hurriedly said: "Yes, of course I want it, can you get it?" ”

"Of course, Tian Huang was a broken stone in the Tang Dynasty, that is, its production place Shoushan is located in Jianzhou, which is very far away from Chang'an!"

"As long as it's not in Australia or the New World, no matter how far away it is, it's no problem, put down the matter of Tianhuangshi first, I remember that Lantian County is near Chang'an, you first get me some Lantian jade to offset the account, ask for seed material or raw ore, but there must be jade in the raw ore."

"I understand." Jiang Xuehui nodded slightly and said, "But I don't have any money now, and I can only have money to buy jade when the first batch of spices is sold." ”

"Okay, don't bother you, hurry up and sell my spices, I'll go prepare something for you."

After speaking, Wang Zhi closed the space door, and at the same time took out a small notebook to write down the things to buy, his brain has been a little messy recently, and he always forgets things.

After coming out of the space-time corridor, Wang Zhi originally wanted to go online to learn about Lantian Yu's information, but there was neither a computer nor WIFI here, and the traffic in his mobile phone was almost used up, so he couldn't do anything, there was no entertainment, and it was too early to go to bed now, so Wang Zhi had to go out to the supermarket outside the community to choose the hot pot base and the ingredients needed for Jiang Xuehui's "Ding Food" banquet.
