Chapter 14: Musk
When Jiang Xuehui of the Tang Dynasty was lying in bed and couldn't sleep with excitement, Wang Zhi of the modern era also wrote a purchase list in the supermarket, and instructed the manager of the supermarket to help him prepare enough ingredients.
When I came out of the supermarket, I just saw the second uncle's car passing in front of me, and hurriedly called to stop the car.
asked the second uncle about his intentions, and he said that he was taking Wang Zhi back for dinner, Wang Zhi immediately got into the car, and said while fastening his seat belt: "Second uncle, I want to trouble you to order some of that kind of charcoal-burning hot pot." ”
"How much?" The division of labor between the second uncle and Wang Zhi is very clear, Wang Zhi is responsible for dealing with the traverser, and he is responsible for procurement, so Wang Zhi said what to buy, as long as it is not that particularly expensive thing, he will not ask why, but directly ask how much to buy.
"A hundred is about the same."
"Okay, I know a friend who owns a hot pot restaurant, and after dinner, I called him and asked where he bought his hot pot from."
It's good to have a wide range of friends, if you want to buy something, just ask your friends who are close to it, and then you can immediately get a purchase channel, if Wang Zhi does it himself, it will take a few days just to contact the seller.
"The solar panels and batteries are booked, and when I go to pick up the car tomorrow, I can pick up the goods."
Hearing this, Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Pick up the car?" Second uncle, have you already contacted the truck? ”
Seeing Wang Zhi's surprised look, the second uncle laughed and said quite smugly: "Have you forgotten what your second uncle and I used to do?" I knew more than one or two trucking companies when I was pouring fruit, and it was too easy to buy a second-hand truck from them. ”
After talking about the truck, Wang Zhi remembered the payment method he had discussed with Jiang Xuehui, and immediately said: "Second uncle, please take the time to inquire about the news of Lantian jade, I have already discussed with the Tang Dynasty traverser, settle the bill with Lantian jade seed material and raw ore, second uncle, you can find a time to go over and buy a bunch of jade raw ore, so as to hide the origin of the jade in our hands." ”
"How much to buy?"
"Let's see how much jade we can get first, otherwise there will be too many jade seeds, and the raw ore will only buy a few hundred catties, which is too eye-catching." Wang Zhi said that the only reason why he did so many things and detoured so many detours was that he didn't want his money to be too conspicuous and eye-catching.
"I understand this." The second uncle said a word, and then said: "Don't talk yet, I'll concentrate on driving, hurry home for dinner, your second aunt made ginseng stewed chicken today." ”
"Ginseng ......"
Hearing this word, Wang Zhi suddenly thought of a kind of goods that could be traded, but it was not ginseng, because the northeast was under the control of Goguryeo during Zhenguan and belonged to the enemy country, and it was not easy for Jiang Xuehui to dig ginseng from there, and more importantly, although the medicinal value of ginseng had been discovered in the Tang Dynasty, it was not very popular, so the yield was not high.
However, ginseng is hard to get, so you can get other precious Chinese medicinal materials! For example, Cordyceps produced in Tibet is easier to obtain than ginseng produced in Goguryeo, and the medicinal value of Cordyceps was already known at that time, and the yield could be increased if the production was increased, and it could also be said that inducing the Tibetan people to dig Cordyceps was a way to weaken Tibet.
In addition to Cordyceps, there are also deer antler velvet and musk, in the early Tang Dynasty, the Loess Plateau was rich in vegetation, and there were more wild animals than people, and deer antler velvet and musk were easy to obtain. It doesn't matter if it's not good to get the relationship because the male musk deer will swallow the sachet before he dies, anyway, the price of musk in that era could not be higher than gold, and in modern times, the price of wild musk is five to six times that of gold.
Thinking of a wealth again, Wang Zhi was very happy, and he didn't even realize that the car had entered the community where the second uncle lived, and he didn't realize that he had arrived home until the car stopped.
"What are you thinking?" After getting out of the car, the second uncle asked.
"Another way to make a fortune."
Hearing Wang Zhi say this, the second uncle didn't ask in detail, this is not the place to talk about this.
Soon arrived at the door, the second uncle took out the key to open the door, a fragrance immediately came to the nose, went in to see, the second aunt and the eldest sister and the little sister were already sitting at the dining table, seeing Wang Zhi and the second uncle, the little sister said very unhappily: "Why did you come back?" Then he couldn't wait to eat, and it seemed that he had been waiting for the two of them.
The second aunt's craftsmanship is very good, Wang Zhi eats very deliciously, and during the meal, the second uncle also announced something: "I see that Wang Zhi has nothing to do in his hometown, so I got a truck and asked him to drive it to help me transport fruits." ”
One sentence explains the reason why Wang Zhi continues to stay here, and he can also use it to deal with Wang Zhi's parents, if the ginger is still old and spicy, such a suitable excuse will come as soon as he opens his mouth.
After eating, because he was troublesome, Wang Zhi did not go back to his residence in the south of the city, and slept on the sofa all night, and early the next morning, the second uncle took Wang Zhi out.
After having breakfast outside, the second uncle took Wang Zhi in one direction, drove for about half an hour, and arrived at a courtyard on the edge of the ice city, where many trucks were parked, the second uncle made a call, and soon a middle-aged man came out, and when he saw the second uncle, he immediately greeted: "Lao Wang, why are you here so early." ”
"My nephew is a little impatient." The second uncle took out a cigarette and handed it to the middle-aged man, and at the same time introduced Wang Zhi to him: "This is my nephew, and this car is for him." ”
"Young man, you may not be in a hurry to be a truck driver!" After saying a word to Wang Zhi, the middle-aged man led the uncle and nephew to a white box truck: "I helped you wash the car yesterday and filled it with oil, I'm interesting enough!" ”
"Okay, next time I invite you to dinner, you can go and get busy, I'll take my nephew to get acquainted with this car." The second uncle said to the middle-aged man.
"Then I'll wait." The middle-aged man said with a smile, took out a key and handed it to the second uncle and left: "The key is for you, you take your time, drive away directly, and go through the formalities in the afternoon before paying." ”
After the middle-aged man left, the second uncle patted the compartment of the truck and introduced to Wang Zhi: "Dongfeng Duolika, one hundred and forty horsepower, six meters seven single-row compartment light truck, the price is only 35,000." ”
"Second uncle, don't tell me this, I don't understand, do you really want me to drive this car, my driver's license is a C license, this thing needs at least a B license to drive, and I haven't touched the car again after taking the driver's license, isn't it difficult to drive this kind of truck directly?" Wang Zhi said with a wry smile that although he has a driver's license, this kind of truck will never be driven.
"I know this, you can just drive my car, I'll come and see this, mine is a photo." Saying that, the second uncle threw Wang Zhi a key and climbed into the truck: "You drive with me in a while, let's go get the solar panels first, and then go back to the house in the south of the city." ”
"Second uncle, can you stop by and buy a cart, this thing always needs to be used." Wang Zhi reminded that if he didn't bring it up again, he might forget about it again in a few days.
"Where solar energy is sold, there should be carts." After replying, the second uncle sat in the cockpit and soon heard the roar of the engine.
Seeing this, Wang Zhi also hurriedly got into the second uncle's car, started the engine, and cautiously followed behind the truck.
After driving for about an hour, the second uncle's car was parked outside a store specializing in solar panels, Wang Zhi, the second uncle, the store owner and a clerk, a total of four people, soon moved a total of ten square meters of power panels and base frames, as well as supporting batteries and a bunch of energy-saving lamps and sockets that served as wires into the compartment of the truck.
The second uncle drove the truck into the garage, Wang Zhi immediately got out of the car and followed, locked the garage door, Wang Zhi entered the compartment, the inside is indeed airtight, close the door and then seal the front window, no matter what you are doing inside, people outside can't find it.
Jade immediately opened the door of the space and loaded it with a cart three times before sending everything into the space-time corridor.
After finishing his errands, the second uncle said that he was going to buy hot pot and drove away in a truck, while Wang Zhi went upstairs, locked the door as soon as he entered the house, and then looked in each room and found no thieves, so he went into the toilet and opened the space-time corridor and walked in.
Walked straight to the space door connecting the world of the Tang Dynasty No. 5 and opened the space door, but Wang Zhi found that it was not Jiang Xuehui who appeared in front of the space door, but another little girl.
Wang Zhizheng had a question mark in his head, but it didn't take long for Jiang Xuehui to come back in another looser dress, looking at her sleepy eyes, she might have been sleeping before, and then Wang Zhicai noticed that the light opposite the space door was very dim, and it should have been night.
"Why did you show up at this time, I just fell asleep." Jiang Xuehui complained while rubbing her eyes.
"Jet lag, it's noon on my side." After explaining, Wang Zhi asked, "Who was that little girl just now?" ”
"That's my maid's dream."
Hearing this name, Wang Zhiyi's head was black, but he still praised it sincerely: "It's really a good name, I don't know how much higher than the forced style of winter snow and autumn fragrance." ”
"But then you are so bold that you dare to let others help you look at the space door." Wang Zhi said that he told the second uncle about the space-time corridor because he couldn't carry out the plan without telling him, and he didn't plan to tell anyone at first.
"In this world, there are many things that one person can't do, you always have to trust others, even when the ancient concubine had an affair with outsiders, there was a henchman and a henchman eunuch guarding the door, if I can't even trust my own personal maid, then how suspicious do I have to be? And with the brains of these ancient people, they can't understand what the space gate is at all, just flicker. Jiang Xuehui said while facing Wang Zhi and combing her hair in front of the bronze mirror next to her.
"By the way......" she seemed to remember something, and said, "bring me a big dressing mirror in a few days, this bronze mirror is not clear at all." ”
"Haven't you ever thought of selling mirrors with me?" Wang Zhi asked, mirrors and plastic products were the most conventional goods traded with ancient times, Wang Zhi didn't believe that she didn't expect it.
"There's already a mirror here." Jiang Xuehui said: "There is a Hu County public in Chang'an who sells glass, and there are glass mirrors, but the quality is not good, and they can't shine for a while. ”
Jiang Xuehui's tone was very flat, but Wang Zhi heard something unusual from it: "You mean that there is another traverser over there?" Is he still there? ”
"He died more than 30 years ago, it is said that he was the elder brother of Hu Xiangong, he invented the steaming method at the age of eight, and at the age of ten he burned the glass with the craftsman at home, and also wrote a book on advanced arithmetic, I once got the book of this predecessor to read it, he left the principle of nuclear fusion and fission and the reaction formula at the end of the book and drew a mushroom cloud, which is really scary, but no one can read this except me and I don't know what he wrote, However, this genius, who discovered the Great Forbidden Spell more than 1,400 years in advance, died young at the age of eleven, and the cause of death is said to be a fall from a horse, and it is also said that he was assassinated by a rival family, but he died anyway. ”
"Forget it, don't talk about him since he's dead." The dead traverser has no value to Wang Zhi, although the things he left behind may be a book of heaven and a treasure that can cause bloody rain and bloody wind to the ancients, but they are worthless in front of him, a space-time merchant who is also a future person, so he directly diverted the topic and said to Jiang Xuehui: "The solar panels have been bought, I will send them to you, you move the dresser in front of you first, I can expand the space door ......"
"Got it." In response, Jiang Xuehui immediately shouted in Tang Dynasty language, and after a while, two little maids came in, one of which was the one called Mengyan before, and then the three of them lifted the dresser together.
After the dresser was lifted, Wang Zhi immediately enlarged the space door so that it was directly on the ground, and then pushed the power generation board, the base frame, the storage battery, and the box containing the lights and wires in turn.
Every time Wang Zhi sent something over, Jiang Xuehui on the opposite side immediately arranged for two little maids to move it away, so as not to block the space door.
After seeing Jiang Xuehui on the opposite side of the space door opening everything lightly, Wang Zhi began to introduce the specifications of the goods: "There are a total of ten power generation boards, the power is 300 watts, and the power generation is 3 kilowatts per hour when the light is sufficient, if the light situation is calculated according to four hours a day, the power generation is 12 kilowatt hours, and the battery is matched according to twice the power generation capacity, and the energy-saving lamps prepared for you are 40 watts, and the power generation capacity is enough for you to light a lamp for 300 hours or light a hundred lamps for 3 hours. However, I only prepared 50 bulbs and matching wires for you, the wires are connected by plugs and sockets, you don't have to worry about electric shock, but also let the people around you be careful, the maximum discharge current of the battery is higher than the lethal amount. ”
At the end, Wang Zhi also reminded him very kindly.
"I naturally understand this."
As she spoke, she turned around and said something to the two little maids, and the little maids immediately ran away, but soon came back, still carrying a small package in her hand, Jiang Xuehui immediately took the package, looking at her expression, the things in it should not be light, the volume is so small, the weight is not light, and the things inside are about to come out - it must be gold.
Sure enough, Jiang Xuehui opened the package and immediately revealed a piece of gold: "It has always been you who sent things over, and I also paid for it, this is ten catties of gold, according to the modern unit of measurement, there should be about fifteen catties, when it is a deposit, you give me another thousand catties of spices, for the time being, as long as pepper, pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, cumin and chili noodles, remember not to forget the chili noodles, as for the Lantian jade you want, I have already sent someone to Lantian, and I should be able to send the jade back in half a month, after all, the transportation in this era is not developed." ”
"Lantian Yu's affairs are not in a hurry first." Wang Zhi handed over a net bag, and said while motioning to Jiang Xuehui to put the gold in the net pocket: "I found something more valuable than jade, musk, do you know, I have checked the information, saying that musk is the most common Tugong product in the Tang Dynasty, and it should be easy to buy in Chang'an City, you go and help me get some musk, I will give you a hundred grams of spices or spices for a gram of musk, I have checked, many spices used in the Tang Dynasty are not worth much in modern times, such as camphor, Suhexiang, benzoin, etc., are very cheap." ”
"Okay, I'll send someone to buy musk early tomorrow morning, and I'll definitely buy you all the musk from Chang'an." Jiang Xuehui agreed, it seems that musk was really not expensive in the Tang Dynasty.
