Chapter 370: Merchants of the Western Regions
If you want to say who knows Fucheng best, it must be Er Mazi, and you can't go wrong with him. After Ye Shu'er informed him of her request, he came to the door the next day.
"Miss Ye, it's hard for you to remember me as a busy man. I've heard a lot about you, and you're a well-known figure now, and I can't ask for anything I can do for you in this city." He longed to have a few more mouths and say more nice things.
Ye Shu'er smiled slightly, feeling that she hadn't seen her for a few months, and Er Mazi had become more and more philistine, and she had a lot of flamboyance.
"You mouth, talk less and do more, what do you look like?"
"Yes, yes, it's me who is abrupt. However, I have already inquired about the things you explained, and it is said that there is a caravan from the Western Regions today, and there are a lot of good things, maybe there are the seeds you want. Those merchants from the Western Regions like to get some strange things, but I guess the price is not cheap."
Although he had dealt with the merchants of the Western Regions, those merchants were all human spirits, but they were not so easy to deal with. If the price does not meet their expectations, even if it is not sold, the price will not be reduced.
"Really? Is it possible to barter?" This primitive way of trading makes no sense and doesn't work now.
"Yes, but it's not easy to come up with something at the same price. Anyway, I'll take you over first. If you have something you can look at, it's not too late for me to help you, but my mouth may not be as good as Miss Ye's mouth, and I won't get an axe in front of you when the time comes."
Er Mazi followed behind Ye Shu'er, talking and doing things in a way, which made people feel comfortable.
Ye Shuer thinks that he is a talent, if this kind of person is placed in modern times, he must be very suitable for working life, especially in the link of building a good relationship with his boss, he must be like a fish in water.
The two drove to the foreign merchant's trading market.
It was the first time that Ye Shu'er had seen a blonde and blue-eyed foreign businessman here, with three-dimensional facial features, deep eyes, and a knife-like face, these adjectives were the best words to describe their faces.
"Miss Ye, don't be afraid, there are governors patrolling here, and we are very safe to trade here." Er Mazi has been here many times, but looking at Miss Ye's appearance, it was the first time she came back, and she was shocked by the scene in front of her.
"It's okay, it's just the first time I've seen so many merchants from the Western Regions, and I think it's fresh."
But she didn't understand a word of what the merchants said, they didn't speak English, and they didn't know what language they were.
Er Mazi admires her courage, ordinary people don't dare to come here, it is rumored that those blonde and blue-eyed merchants in the Western Regions are monsters who can eat people, if they are eye-catching, the three souls and seven spirits will be sucked away, so few people are willing to deal with these merchants.
Ye Shu'er opened her eyes, not only saw many glass products, but also many interesting things. But what attracted her was the spices, there were dozens of types, and the fragrance was very good.
"If it's really exotic, I haven't seen these spices in Fucheng." She savored the spices generously.
"Excuse me, girl, are you going to buy spices?" The blonde businessman spoke a broken Mandarin with an accent, but it was still intelligible.
"Yes, how do you sell these spices?" She bought these spices mainly to see if they could be made into perfumes, after all, the refining cycle of cultivated roses was too long and troublesome, and if these spices could be made into a concentrated version, then it would be much easier to make perfumes.
"One tael is worth ten gold." The blonde merchant raised his finger and said to Ye Shu'er.
Shuer Yip: ...... Please forgive me for not seeing the world.
"Sorry to interrupt." It's so expensive, it's better to find a way to mix it yourself.
Er Mazi's face darkened, and he felt that these merchants were simply here to rob money, one or two spices were worth ten gold, what kind of precious medicinal materials were put in them, and they were so expensive, this was simply a lie.
"Let's go, Miss Ye."
Ye Shu'er did dismiss the idea of wanting to buy it, and planned to look at other things that she was interested in.
"This is the spice that entered the palace for the royal family, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford, so the price is so expensive!"
The merchant of the Western Regions still didn't give up, and wanted to hand the spices in his hand to Ye Shu'er, so that she could take a better look. However, Ye Shuer declined his kindness and bluntly said that she couldn't afford such expensive spices.
Er Mazi was afraid that he would be entangled by him, so he pulled Ye Shu'er and hurried away.
"Miss Ye, don't think that these merchants from the Western Regions are all good people, I told you that their women are very deceitful, and many people have been deceived by them......" He babbled and told her about the events he had heard.
Ye Shu'er's left ear goes in and out of her right ear, after all, these are all rumors, rumors are naturally true and false, and if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you can't verify the truth or falsehood, these words are just jokes on the spot, and they must not be taken as one.
"Miss Ye, it seems that you didn't take what I told you to heart at all."
"No, but I think hearing is believing. What I haven't seen with my own eyes, what I hear from other people's mouths, is just hearsay after all." She smiled.
"I said you, Miss Ye, why don't you believe what I said? What I said is true, everything is true!" Although he also heard about it from other people's mouths, if it didn't really happen, could they talk nonsense?
I don't know if it was because what she said was heard by the spice merchant, and he actually trotted all the way after him.
Er Mazi was so frightened that his soul flew, the six gods had no master, and he was about to find someone from the Governor's Division, but there was no one in charge of patrolling on the street.
"He's going to do it...... What to do?" Now they are on other people's land, and if something happens, it is called the heavens and the earth. z.br>
"Don't panic yet, I don't think people have any ill intentions."
The blonde merchant held a purse in his hand, "This girl, this is for you. You have a lot of people here who like to speak ill of us, and I appreciate people like you, and although you can't afford it, I can give you a little to express my heart for you."
Er Mazi listened, and his eyes glared at him, "What do you mean?" Let me tell you, this Miss Ye is a good person, don't have any bad ideas."
A person like Xue Langjun will be a big official in the future, and he can't be taken advantage of by this kind of villain.
"You're mistaken, I'm not what you think I'm thinking." The merchant shook his head and sighed helplessly.
