Chapter 110: Merchants of the Western Regions
"Dad, according to what you said, isn't it very dangerous for us to be drawn into the battlefield at any time?!"
Ning Qingxi said in shock after listening to the news that Ning Changrong inquired about from the county.
Ning Changrong's face was ugly, "I don't know when I called, I think this court is unreliable." The country is about to die. ”
"And what about my milk? She is still selling things in the county with Grandma Lai, and we don't know when those rebels will come, if they suddenly come and the county is closed again, then what should we do? ”
Ning Changrong was also worried about this matter, the transportation was underdeveloped in ancient times, and the ordinary people at the bottom of them didn't know anything about the outside world.
After listening to those news today, this matter is like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head, and it feels like it will fall at any time.
Isn't it profitable to wait in their village every day? Waiting for those people to run as soon as they come?
Ning Qingxi looked at her father and didn't speak for a long time, and said anxiously: "Dad, otherwise don't let my milk sell things in the county, let's spend money to ask the people in the county to help us sell, can't people still hire a shopkeeper?" We also hired a shopkeeper of a cold drink shop, and it was a big deal to make a little less. ”
Ning Changrong's eyes lit up, this is also a good way, if you ask someone to help them sell in the county, you just need to check the account when you go to deliver the goods every week.
"That's a good idea."
Ning Qingxi looked worried, "Then we just said yesterday that we would let Grandma Lai go to the county to help, and we would call people back in two days, isn't it right?" ”
The plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and Ning Changrong didn't expect that things would be so serious.
If you don't call people back, if something happens in the county, Lai Pozi will definitely be blocked inside the city gate.
Although it is said that their family will definitely have run away by then, and they don't have to worry about who to explain, this conscience is a little unbearable, after all, they knew in advance that something was going to happen.
But if you call them back, and you only asked someone to help you yesterday, and you call them back today, what kind of thing is that?
After thinking for a long time, Ning Changrong spoke: "There shouldn't be an accident for a while, don't scare yourself, don't you see that there are still people in that county who are buying?" ”
If an enemy is really approaching, their cold drink business will definitely be affected, and as soon as the business drops, they will withdraw immediately!
"Look at another month, what's the matter, let Aunt Lai finish this month. When the time comes, I'll find someone to replace them. ”
……
After Ning Changrong understood his daughter's thinking, he completely handed over the arrangement on the mountain to Ning Qingxi, and let her command the two uncles to work.
He himself went to the bazaar twice in three days to inquire about the news.
In his spare time, he would bring some food and daily necessities home and secretly transport them to the mountains with cattle at night.
When Ning Changrong was shopping in the West Market, he actually found a man with blonde hair and blue eyes.
This was the first time he had seen a foreigner, with blond hair and green eyes, and everyone around him was far away from him, pointing at each other.
When he inquired about the news before, he had also heard that Nan Chen occupied the Central Plains, but now, the northern part of the Central Plains no longer belonged to Nan Chen.
To the north is the country of the North Dome, where the people are good at riding and archery, and they are very good at kung fu immediately.
To the east is the endless sea, and I heard that many people have not been heard from since they went to sea.
To the west is the Western Regions, where the people look different from those of the Central Plains.
There are also many people from the Western Regions who come to Nanchen to do business, but these merchants from the Western Regions go to the big cities in the north, and they rarely come to their remote Taixi County.
So I don't know many people from the Western Regions, and many people thought that this Western Regions people were monsters at first.
If it weren't for the fact that this person from the Western Regions knew a few words of the Central Plains, he would have been arrested and burned to death.
In addition, there are also many businessmen in the Western Market, knowing that the people of the Western Regions are blonde and blue-eyed, which is different from the black hair and black eyes of the Central Plains, and they also explained a few words to the people of the Western Regions.
Ning Changrong walked to the other party's stall, and he found that the goods sold by this person were all seeds, so he spread them out on the ground with a small cloth bag and sold them.
He hadn't planted much since he was a child, but he didn't know much about what these seeds were grown.
"What kind of seeds are you?"
When the people from the Western Regions saw someone patronizing his stall, they looked happy and anxiously introduced them to the other party.
"I have vegetable and fruit seeds here, and the one you have in your hand is cabbage seed, which is a vegetable from our side, and on the left hand side is grape seed, which is a very sweet fruit."
The people from the Western Regions introduced it for a while, but Ning Changrong's eyes were in a pile of mixed seeds, he reached in and pinched a small seed, "What kind of seed is this?" ”
The man from the Western Regions waved his hand, "I don't know, when I came, I met a war, my caravan was disrupted, these things are the only things I picked up from the ground, and I don't know what is in that pile of seeds, they are all grabbed from the ground when I am in a hurry......"
Ning Changrong listened to the other party's explanation and knew that the other seeds were carried by the other party and did not fall to the ground at that time.
The mixed pile of seeds he saw was randomly grabbed by the people of the Western Regions on the ground, and now the other party didn't even know what seeds were.
How can you not know your own goods? Ning Changrong suspected that the other party was not a merchant selling seeds, and the seeds might just be one of his goods, otherwise this kind of seed was not his at all.
But he didn't care about the question, "How do you sell this bag of seeds?" Ning Changrong carefully pulled in the seed pile, although he didn't know these seeds, there was one thing he knew, pepper seeds!
The seeds of the chili pepper are the seeds in the chili pepper, how could he not know this?
The people from the Western Regions saw that Ning Changrong seemed to be interested in the bag of seeds, and said tentatively: "If you want it, two taels of silver." ”
The vendors who were looking at the two curiously on the side immediately gasped after listening to the words of the people from the Western Regions.
Two two?! This person from the Western Regions really dares to speak!
Ning Changrong was a little dissatisfied, "You don't even know what this kind of thing is, and it's so expensive?" It's not certain if I can grow it when I take it back, I'm just idle and bored to buy it home and see if there will be any windfalls, since you're not sincere, then forget it. ”
After saying that, he seemed to get up and leave.
The people from the Western Regions hurriedly stopped Ning Changrong with a hurry on their faces, "Don't go!" The price can be negotiated again! ”
Ning Changrong squatted back again, "Then how much do you say?" If the lion opens his mouth again, I'll be gone. ”
Although Ning Changrong didn't know how long the other party had been here, looking at his down-and-out appearance, he must not have had a good time.
Moreover, the caravan also encountered a fight, and the losses should be very large, and he must be in a hurry to get rid of the seeds in his hands.
