Chapter Ninety-Eight: Foreign Merchants (II)
"Let him go!" I stopped the security guard from making any further moves, and arched my hand at the embarrassed-looking Fangang man, "It's not appropriate here, this brother has something to talk to me." All right! Look at the excitement is gone, do whatever you have to do! After drinking away the crowd watching the excitement, he led the man into the workshop.
"You Tang people bully us!" As soon as he entered the door, the man began to complain, "We have come tens of thousands of miles, and we have worked hard to exchange the goods with you, why don't we change them?" Everyone is changing things, why can't they get to your house! Why do you have to use money! "Speaking of anger, I touched the water tank under the eaves with my head, and there was a 'knock' sound, which scared me and the two bodyguards to take a step back.
Perhaps it is the way in which the ethnic minorities show themselves in order to shock the enemy. But you don't have to touch all the blood, do you? Going out with a bloody face will bring misunderstanding, and others still think that we have done something to the guests, so they persuade: "This brother, I understand your feelings, don't bump into it anymore, it's bleeding." Hurriedly ordered someone to take medicine and apply it to him, the weather was so hot, his body was smelly and unhygienic, and inflammation and infection would be in great trouble.
"The water tank is very good, it can't be broken!" After saying that, he stood up straight like no one else, stretched out his hand and wiped a few handfuls on his face, and blood stains hung all over his face. He said to me with a hideous face: "Can you take care of things?" β
"Yes," I nodded, admiring this extraterritorial stinky man who was struggling with the water tank, "I'll talk about it later, first stop the bleeding on your head, it's bleeding badly." β
"Of course in a hurry! If you don't replace it, you won't be able to go home in the fall! The blood-faced man stopped the bodyguard who wanted to give him medicine, stuffed some messy hay from his arms into his mouth and chewed it a few times, and took out the black, black, yellow, and yellow Yituo took it out and wiped it on the wound like a wall, "Okay, the bleeding has stopped, you come and see the goods I brought." "Lifted the skin open, took a lot of things out of it and threw them on the ground," samples, there are many cars outside. β
I squatted down and looked carefully at the garbage goods all over the floor, no wonder I didn't exchange them with him in the workshop, this kind of thing can't make people want to buy it. Gently pinched a slightly clean with both fingernails and asked, "What is this?" β
"Snow Lotus!" The stinky man said proudly: "It is a gift from the gods of the Great Snow Mountain to the people, the most holy snow lotus in the world!" β
"Well," the gods will be angry when they see their people ruining gifts like this. It's just a high-altitude flower, and the medicinal value is not as high as the legend, and it is a product with a serious imbalance in cost performance. β
"Sedum!" The stinky man said proudly: "It is the most holy sedum ..... the gods!" β
"Well," the gods are really generous, but this sedum is much better than snow lotus, the medicinal value is higher than ginseng, and there are no side effects of ginseng, it can be taken for a long time, it has a special effect on cardiovascular diseases, and it can also treat bruises, leaving Lanling behind.
"This?"
"Cordyceps!" The stinky man said proudly: "It's a god......... Cordyceps! β
"Yes!" The Tenjin family is very rich, good things, left.
"This?" I asked, picking up a whip-like object with a small stick that exuded a strange feed.
"Ushio!" Continue to proudly say: "It's the god ........ oxtail!" It is a mascot to bless the well-being of the people, and this is not for sale! β
"Well," there are a lot of things going on with this god. Don't sell you take it out sick? "Where's this?" I spotted a small, pointy, crust-like object the size of a melon seed, and my eyesight was so good.
"Ah, it's the white warbler's mouth, why did it fall off." As he spoke, he took out the oxtail from his arms, inlaid the bird's beak into the oxtail, and bowed to the sky reverently, "The gods have punished, no wonder you don't exchange things with me, it turns out that the white warbler's beak has fallen off." Thank you! β
"You're welcome," he seems to be superstitious. I clapped my hands and stood up, "Cordyceps and Sedum, safflower are all gone, Snow Lotus is not wanted." You go and pull everything out there. β
"Snow Lotus is also going to be a snow mountain... Holy...."The stinky man pulled in a small half cart of medicinal herbs and sold them to me vigorously.
"Is the wound on your head healed?" Seeing that his blood had long since stopped, I was very interested in the herbs on his head. He ordered someone to fetch water for him to wash his face, and carefully observed the wounds on his head, which were all blood scabs, and the long wounds were coagulated. "What kind of medicine did you put on the wound?"
"Ash grass, we have a lot there, it's not worth it." The stinky man uncovered the animal skin on the car, overturned the car with one shoulder, and rolled all the goods inside to the ground, "Everything is yours, Snow Lotus will send you!" Just add a little toilet water to me! β
Hehe. shouted to send me snow lotus, and asked me to add some flower water to him, a very shrewd Tubo person, I like it. "I want it, next time I come to catch a few more truckloads of that kind of ash grass, just exchange it with me. If you have grass seeds, you can bring some and you can change them. "It's distressing to see the rare medicinal herbs piled up all over the ground like garbage." How much toilet water are you going to want? β
"This!" The stinky man pointed to the unbroken water tank. Seeing that I had a vicious look in his eyes, he laughed a few times, took a sheepskin wine bag from the frame of the car, and handed it to me, "You are a cheerful person!" Please drink! Fill this bag for me when you're done. β
Fortunately, it is a wine bag, and a bag of toilet water is three or four catties, if it is a water bag used in the army, it will be a loss. Acceptable.
The customer is God, and the customer level cannot be distinguished by body odor. Since the business was negotiated, I asked the fourth child to vacate an empty house to receive him, since he is a Tubo person, it is still necessary to know more about the production and customs of Tubo.
"Fourth, you go and see if the medicinal materials he brought are real or fake. I don't know, don't be fooled. "Under the pretext of coming out to get some snacks, explain to the fourth child, her family is a medicinal herb merchant, and she should be able to distinguish it.
"It's true, I just watched it." The fourth pinched his nose and said: "The business is not a loss, the key is that the person is too smelly and doesn't want to pay attention to him." Brother-in-law, you have to take a bath when you go back at night, or your sister won't let you go to chuang! After saying that, he ran away with a smile.
It stinks, it stinks, I finally met a Tibetan person, and I let it out. The stinky man drank a lot of alcohol, and the degree of barley wine was not very high, so it was over without much drinking, so I beckoned someone to take some unrefined soju from the workshop, and drank it all the way and chatted. After his father's death, his generous brother gave him half of the silver treasury and a small amount of pasture, but there was one condition that he could not return home. Rawang Maotsan praised his brother's benevolent behavior, and made no secret of his preference for money over women, and the value of the flower water in Tibet is incalculable, claiming that if such a bag was returned, he would be able to exchange all the pasture from his brother.
"You still want ranch, don't you?" Listening to his story, I felt that he was an adventurous person, and the future of such a person was unpredictable.
"I want it, but I won't ask for it! My brother is a man who can take care of the family business, and if he were to give it to me, he might exchange the ranch for something that shouldn't be changed. I'm sorry for my dead father. Rawang Maozan took the oxtail out of his bosom and prayed a few times, as if praying for the family's inheritance.
Seems to be an honest guy, a self-aware person. During the casual conversation with him, I learned a lot about the Tibetan people. If a large Tibetan kingdom is composed of countless small tribes, the tribes are constantly fighting for water and grass pastures, and mutual annexation occurs every day. Different from other foreign ethnic groups, they have the custom of farming, with barley as the main crop, the yield is not low, and it is the staple food of the Tibetan people. And the beak on the oxtail that he used to pray for blessings was taken from a small bird that eats barley pests.
It seems that it is a beneficial bird, Tubo now has a population of 7 million, and it is still a slave society, and the cultivation technology is backward, so it is estimated that it relies on this bird to protect the farmland. The ancients did not yet have the awareness of this, and if it were left to the 21 st century, the contradictions between the two countries would have been acute to such an extent, and the conspiracy would have been used a long time ago. For example, I buy this beak in large quantities for a small price, or exchange it for flower water and porcelain. The consequences are terrible, a plague of insects can make Tibet be angry.
Listening to him alone, he can't be sure, he needs the imperial court to send some spy personnel to conduct on-site investigations, and that kind of magical worthless herbs have great strategic value.
"Problem solved?" Ying and Lanling were bored, so they asked the fourth child to take out a lot of samples and began to identify the taste of several kinds of toilet water, "What taste?" Stinks to death! "Ying is full of aroma, and she can smell the strange smell on my body, and she has talent.
"Tubo people, the fourth child told you, I just dealt with it, and I was passed on a little taste, hehe." I consciously took a few steps back, "Let's go back, it's not early, and I have to take a shower." β
"Well, it's time to go." Lan Ling got up satisfied, "I have seen it today, and I was just taken around by my little sister to take a look, this workshop is different everywhere." I don't know how many times better than a paper workshop. β
"That's there, in terms of scale, it's not comparable to a paper workshop, Your Highness laughed." Ying smiled and came out with Lan Ling, "The concubine went to greet the fourth child, and she will come immediately." β
"It stinks!" Lanling took advantage of Ying's departure to laugh at me, "Drill the pigsty, right?" β
"Believe it or not, I'm getting cheap to you now?" I pretended to be close to Lanling.
"Don't come here!" Lan Ling covered her nose and stepped back, and said with a wicked smile: "I'm afraid that my concubine is far worse than your wife, and it won't be my turn to get cheap, right?" β
"What do you mean?"
"I know it in my heart!" Lanling wanted to come up and poke me in the head, but was intimidated by the smell on my body, "Hurry up and manage the papermaking workshop for me like this, it is also cooperation, why is it eccentric?" Seeing that Ying was walking towards this side, Lan Ling smiled and said kindly: "Be careful, I will settle accounts with you tomorrow." β
