Chapter 287: Borrowing Food and Returning It with Wine
Not only Lu Dongzan, but everyone in the mission was stunned.
They couldn't believe what they were seeing.
This is......
A crystal clear glass bottle!!
Glass is rare.
Such a large, perfect glass bottle is even more difficult to find!
Although Tibet is a wild place in the eyes of the Tang people.
But they also know what is precious.
If you buy this glass bottle......
If the mission of the mission to Datang to ask for peace is not completed, he may be punished a few words.
But bring this bottle back to Logos.
It's sure to please Zampu!
Lu Dongzan stared at the bottle of wine, his eyes turned green.
He swallowed:
"You brought this wine from Datang?"
"Where?"
Wang Xuance still had that smile on his face.
But now, in the eyes of the Tibetan Mission, this smile is no longer unpleasant to look at.
The smiling face of the teenager is like a spring breeze!
Wang Xuance smiled and said:
"Such rare items are nowhere else except in Chang'an."
Lu Dongzan immediately retorted:
"Impossible!"
"I waited until I arrived here from Chang'an."
"If there is such a strange thing, how can we not know it?"
"No way!"
Wang Xuance tilted his head and asked:
"Then dare to ask Your Excellency, when did you set off from Chang'an?"
"Our caravan left more than a month ago, and it was easy to follow."
"It's to escort this wine away."
"In the countries of the Western Regions, there are many wealthy merchants and princes."
"It hasn't been long since this kind of wine appeared in Chang'an City, and we must hurry out to find a buyer, and the first one to sell is naturally the most profitable."
"As long as you can find a suitable and long-term seller, you can stock up on more goods at one time and then sell them out."
"It's a lot more convenient, and it saves time and effort."
"Who wants to travel all the way just to sell a bottle of wine?"
"You say, that's the truth."
The more he listened, the brighter Lu Dongzan's eyes became.
Listen to what this young man means......
This kind of wine has only appeared in Chang'an City not long ago.
Perhaps they showed up as soon as the mission left.
And this group of caravans, just to be able to seize the opportunity quickly, so they set off in a hurry without much preparation.
Even, most likely, it was because I was in a hurry that I didn't have time to find a guide......
Only then will the caravan get lost on the Gobi Desert!
Think along this line.
Lu Dongzan felt more and more that it made sense.
The logic is very smooth!
From beginning to end, his eyes never left the bottle in Wang Xuance's hand.
"Little brother, you said this is a wine ......"
"I don't know, what kind of wine can it be in a glass bottle?"
"The old man looks at this, it looks a little like water."
It's normal for Lu Dongzan to ask this question.
After all, the wine of this year is basically rice wine and green ant wine.
In short, whatever it is, it has a color.
And the glass bottle is crystal clear.
The wine inside is clear and pure.
No wonder he was suspicious.
However, Wang Xuance did not panic at all.
He pointed to the bottle in his hand and said with a smile:
"Your Excellency, there's a cork on it, but you can get close and smell it."
"Smell it, and you'll understand."
Wang Xuance reached out and handed over the wine bottle.
Lu Dongzan didn't hesitate, he turned over and dismounted directly, ready to get closer and smell it.
Beside.
On Qinling, who was also on the horse, pulled him with some concern:
"Apa, you ...... Not safe, right? ”
His worries are simple.
What if the wine, or bottle, is poisonous?
What if this group of people came just to kill Lu Dongzan?
Lu Dongzan slapped his hand away.
"How can there be so many people who are not safe, do you think the whole world knows who I am?"
"Get out of the way!"
"It's a big deal, you know a piece of!"
He didn't take advantage of the theory of Qinling's obstruction.
Dismount.
As soon as I stretched my head, I leaned over to the side of the bottle and sniffed it!
The tip of Lu Dongzan's nose twitched slightly.
Although there is a cork to prevent the alcohol from evaporating, it can also smell like wine through the cork that has been soaked in wine.
He smelled it.
Extremely intense...... Smell like you've never heard of it!
"What a fragrant wine!"
Lu Dongzan looked at the wine bottle in front of him in shock, and his eyes became hotter and hotter.
He wanted to take it in his hands and take a closer look.
But I also know that this is not in accordance with the rules.
After hesitating for a long time, Lu Dongzan said cautiously:
"Is this wine intoxicating?"
The smile on Wang Xuance's face turned into laughter!
"Hahahaha!"
"Your Excellency's words are unusual!"
"The wine in my hand, let alone ordinary wine, even the strongest wine you have ever drunk, is far inferior to him!"
"In the cold winter, you can warm up your whole body with a sip."
"It's hot, and when you take a sip, you'll sweat all over your body!"
"You say, is this drunken drunk?"
"A thousand cups are not drunk, and they all have to be poured!"
Lu Dongzan finally couldn't help it.
He stared at the bottle of wine with burning eyes:
"Let's change, change!"
"Twenty water bladders, that's it!"
"But there's one more thing ......"
"Little brother, just now you said that the main purpose of your trip this time is to find a stable and long-term buyer, so that it is convenient to stock up on more goods and sell them at one time in the future......"
"What do you think of me?"
Wang Xuance seemed to have not expected this development, and was stunned.
"I haven't asked yet, your Excellency is ......"
Lu Dongzan smiled confidently and proudly.
"I am the envoy of the Tibetan Mission, Gar Dongzan, you can call me Lu Dongzan."
"If you work with me......"
"Little brother, your caravan is cooperating with my Tibetan royal family!"
He thought that after releasing his fame, this young man would definitely bow down to himself, a rich man.
But what I never expected was.
Wang Xuance frowned.
"It doesn't matter if your identity is true or not......"
"You are an envoy, without the consent of your Tubo Zampu, can you directly call the shots in this kind of thing?"
"What's more, compared with the countries of the Western Regions, the road to Tibet is also a little more difficult. That qi barrier can suffocate people to death! ”
"I'm afraid this business is difficult to do......"
"Well, anyway, when we get the water, we're going to have to go back directly."
"Let's talk about it when we have a chance to go to Tibet in the future."
He shook his head and held the bottle in the air:
"Let's change the water bladder first."
Lu Dongzan was stunned.
Half a day.
He was shocked and said:
"You don't want to?!"
"Do you know what you turned down?!"
"Even if I can't call the shots, it's up to me to mention this matter to Zampu, and it's very likely that he will agree!"
"It's your honor to be able to trade directly with the Tibetan royal family with just one caravan!"
Wang Xuance looked helpless.
"This ...... Envoy. ”
"Maybe that's important to you."
"But in my case, nothing is worth more than a water bladder these days."
"If you really want to discuss, you can go back and communicate with you Zampu first."
"When we return to Chang'an, we will send someone over to discuss cooperation."
"In this way, it is convenient for everyone!"
