This merchant looks a little different from the people of today.

He was blonde and blue-eyed, and Meng Lianyi was a little surprised to see him like this.

Isn't this what Westerners looked like in a previous life?

I didn't expect that there would be people with such looks in this era.

Meng Lianyi was a little surprised, but Bai Wanning on the side widened her eyes in surprise and said to Meng Lianyi: "There is actually a person who looks like this, I have never seen it before, this is amazing." ”

Looking at Bai Wanning's surprised look, Meng Lianyi hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled, and said:

"Don't be surprised, the people in their Western Regions should all look like this, it's just a normal look."

Hearing Meng Lianyi say this, Bai Wanning looked at Meng Lianyi with some surprise.

Sometimes she is a little curious, why does Meng Lianyi know so much, she is just an ordinary peasant girl, and she has been to a lot of places because of her perennial business, but now she knows more than herself.

Sometimes there are things that he has never seen at all, and Meng Lianyi also knows it.

Meng Lianyi told herself that she only knew because she had read a lot of books, but Bai Wanning felt that this was not the case.

It's just that he looked at Meng Lianyi as if he was deliberately trying to hide something, so he didn't expose it.

Looking at the merchant of the Western Regions, he said: "I heard that you brought some new things, and want to exchange some fabrics with us to go back, I don't know what you brought, if there are really any good things, I am willing to exchange some with you." ”

When the merchant from the Western Regions heard Bai Wanning say this, his eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he nodded quickly, and asked the servants behind him to bring a few large boxes.

Looking at the big boxes, the corners of Meng Lianyi's mouth twitched.

That's a bit well prepared.

Meng Lianyi also looked at it with some interest, and saw that the box was densely packed with a lot of things, including glassware, gems, glass and spices, but Meng Lianyi had seen a lot of these things in his previous life, so he didn't have much interest in them.

However, Bai Wanning's eyes were wide open after seeing those beautiful glassware and gems, and she looked at them with surprise, and finally chose a few things she liked and said:

"I'll choose these things, Meng Lianyi, let's see if you like it?"

Hearing her say this, Meng Lianyi looked for it in a pile of things, and finally Meng Lianyi suddenly looked attracted by something.

What she was looking at was a white and fluffy flower, Meng Lianyi could recognize it at a glance, wasn't this the cotton of the later generations?

I didn't expect that cotton had already appeared at this time.

She hurriedly picked up the cotton, and asked the merchant, "What is this thing, and where did you get it?" ”

When the merchant heard Meng Lianyi finish speaking, he said: "Back to this lady, this is a kind of flower that I brought back from afar, this kind of flower is soft and different from other flowers when it blooms, because it is really a little strange, so I brought some back, if you like it, I can give this flower to you." ”

Hearing him say this, the corners of Meng Lianyi's mouth twitched slightly, and he took out the cotton.

Sure enough, I saw that there were already mature cotton seeds inside.

Meng Lianyi's eyes lit up and he said, "Do you have any other cotton besides these?" ”

"Cotton?"

The merchant was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Meng Lianyi to actually say such a name, but he thought that it matched the habits of this flower.

So after thinking for a while, he nodded.

"Because this pattern is really pretty, I picked some more and wanted to sell them to you.

But I didn't expect to come here and find that you people here don't like these flowers, so I threw them into the courtyard where I lived. If you need to, you can send someone to find it, but the flowers seem to be ripe and have dried up. ”

Hearing him say this, Meng Lianyi shook his head indifferently: "It's okay, as long as you give me all the flowers and seeds." ”

After finishing speaking, he said to the butler: "You wait a minute, follow him for a trip, bring in all his cotton, and by the way, give him 500 taels of silver." ”

The merchant originally thought that his flowers could only be sold for a few taels of silver at most, but he didn't expect Meng Lianyi to actually give him 500 taels of silver in one go, which made his eyes widen in surprise.

I brought such a large box of treasures, but I didn't expect Meng Lianyi to look down on it, but she fell in love with this kind of flower.

He had some regrets for a while, when he saw this kind of flower on the way to business, he bought some back, originally thought that this flower was useless at all, so he also regretted that he bought more, but now it seems that he bought less.

If you buy more, you might be able to make more money.

He regretted it a little, but it was too late to regret it, he couldn't remember where he bought the flowers, and it should be impossible to buy some more.

I could only take 500 taels of silver and left.

And the housekeeper listened to Meng Lianyi's instructions and saw that Meng Lianyi was very serious, so he knew that the matter that Meng Lianyi explained to him must be very important, so he hurriedly went out with the businessman.

After they went out, Bai Wanning couldn't help but ask Meng Lianyi, "Why are you suddenly so interested in flowers?" I've never seen you raise plants before. ”

Hearing Bai Wanning say this, Meng Lianyi shook his head with a smile, and said with a look of surprise: "This is not a flower, this is a kind of treasure." ”

Hearing her say this, Bai Wanning was stunned for a moment, and said a little blankly: "Baby, what do you mean?" ”

This flower doesn't look very good.

Meng Lianyi looked at her with a blank look, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and took out the cotton seed from the bud, and then took out the soft cotton as well.

Then put the cotton on Bai Wanning's hand in front of him, and said to Bai Wanning: "See if this cotton is suitable for winter clothes." ”

Hearing her say this, Bai Wanning was stunned.

They are in the fabric business, so they naturally know that this cotton can really be used to make winter clothes.

And it can be used to weave cloth, and if it really can, then this cloth will be softer and cheaper than silk.

This way they can get a new kind of cloth.

Thinking of this, Bai Wanning's eyes lit up suddenly, and she hurriedly said to Meng Lianyi: "Meng Lianyi, you are so smart, when I saw this just now, I couldn't think of this use at all, but I didn't want you to think of it." ”
