Chapter 789: The First Journey in the Sea (4)

After expressing his gratitude, Chier Hanyan said to Su Huaicheng with their experience of traveling south and north: "In the past few years, we have passed through the ancient post road of Tianlu Mountain many times, and the Heavenly Polder and Jiema Pass at the top of the mountain are the places where the mountain people exchange goods with the people on the other side of Kaiping and Yangjiang. People carry goods to the road, and the road up the mountain is steep and crooked, and the distance is long, which is both hard and inefficient. Why don't you buy a few horses and use them to transport wine to other places, which saves time, effort and transport, and can also use horses to help the mountain people transport goods and make money? Obviously, you can have an extra income, and your family will definitely be much richer than it is now. ”

Li Jinfeng is a sober-minded and quick-thinking person, and when he heard that there was such a good project, he immediately agreed: "This is a good idea, because this is a business in the independent market." We believe that if we find a different way in the business field, if our family really has a few horses, we will not have to rely on people to carry the wine to other places, and it will become faster and more time-saving: it can also reduce the pain of the mountain people to carry goods up the mountain, and can make our family richer. ”

Su Huaicheng had a difficult face: "This suggestion is indeed good, although we have the money to buy horses, but where to buy horses?" ”

"Brother Su, there are a lot of horses in our hometown, I can take you to us to choose." ”

Su Huaicheng: "Where is your hometown?"

Chierhan Yanyang pointed in the direction of the northwest: "My hometown is in the Zasak Banner in Ordos, where there is the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan, and there are horses, cattle and sheep everywhere. ”

Li Jinfeng: "Hey, that's a very distant place. ”

Chierhanyan: "The journey is indeed farther, but don't you see that our group of people, in order to live, don't we ride horses to the ends of the earth?"

Su Huaicheng: "This is also. But how can we distinguish between good and bad horses? ”

Chi Erhanyan said enthusiastically: "You can rest assured. If you come to our hometown, we will help you pick out the best horses. ”

Su Huaicheng frowned: "Even if we buy a horse, I don't know how to ride a horse now, so where can I find someone to ride a horse?"

Chierhanyan encouraged: "Learning to ride a horse, it is not easy to say, but it is not difficult to say, I can teach you." ”

The rest of the horse gang also spoke one after another, saying that they could teach Su Huaicheng and them to learn to ride horses.

Su Huaicheng said to Li Jinfeng: "Go to Saibei to buy horses, the road is so far, it will take several months to go back and forth, our winery?"

Li Jinfeng replied: "You can rest assured that the winemaking, management and marketing of the winery are now on the right track. Leave it all to me, and you can go without worry. ”

Su Huaicheng was still a little embarrassed: "It's inconvenient for me to go to such a distant place!"

"Yes," Chi Erhanyan nodded, "You'd better have a good helper, you have something to discuss, and you can take care of each other on the way back and forth." What's more, to organize a horse team in the future, you must first have a coach, and then bring back a group of people!"

Su Huaicheng couldn't find the north for a while, so he spread his hands out: "Where can we find a good helper?"

Li Jinfeng listened to their words, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he interjected: "It's not difficult to find someone, my aunt and nephew wish to be wealthy." ”

Chi Erhan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Zhu Decai? How could your nephew have such a strange name?"

"My aunt and nephew will go out today to deliver the catch, and will come back tomorrow. His real name is Zhu Wencai, and Zhu Decai's name has a reason. Li Jinfeng told the caravan about some things about Zhu Decai's special insect rectification, which caused the caravan to laugh more than once.

Chi Erhanyan said to Li Jinfeng: "People are most afraid of sitting still all day like wood. Listening to you, your nephew has done so many pranks before, and he is definitely an extremely smart person. As long as you guide it well, you are a rare talent. ”

Chi Erhanyan warmly invited: "In this way, it will take about three days for us to deliver the goods to the owner." We passed by here on our way home, and you went with the horse team to our hometown in Saibei. I promise to treat you well. ”

Su Huaicheng excitedly said: "Okay, Zhu Decai and I will have the opportunity to appreciate the exotic customs of Saibei." ”

The next morning, Zhu Decai went out to deliver express mail and returned to Zuiqianqi Liquor Workshop, and Li Jinfeng sent him and Su Huaicheng to go to Saibei with the horse gang.

Zhu Decai loves to play on weekdays, likes to contact new things, I heard that this time I have the opportunity to go to the outside world to break through, you can watch the beautiful scenery along the way, open your eyes, this is what you can't ask for, so you agreed.

A few days later, Zhu Decai and Su Huaicheng followed Chi Erhanyan's horse gang on a long journey.

Along the way, they were carefully cared for by Chi Erhanyan and other team members, and everyone talked and laughed as they walked, and after a few months, they finally arrived at Jike Banner in Yikezhi (now Ordos in Inner Mongolia) in Saibei.

The green prairie is endless, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep. Tents, Ao Bao, Goat's Milk, Butter Tea, Hand-handled Meat, Matouqin...... Everything about the desert style of northern Hanbei is new to Zhu Decai and Su Huaicheng, who have been in the Lingnan Mountains for a long time. They also had the opportunity to participate in the Mongolian people's historic "Naadam" conference, in this traditional festival to celebrate the harvest, they watched wrestling, horse racing, archery, chess, singing and dancing and other competitions with the characteristics of the grassland people. Later, Chierhanyan also took Zhu Decai and them to visit the Qixing Lake Desert and Xiangsha Bay, and also went to pay homage to the tomb of Genghis Khan.

Under the patient guidance of Chi Erhanyan, the diligent and studious Zhu Decai and Su Huaicheng soon mastered the technique of horseback riding and also learned how to choose good horses and horses.

Time passed imperceptibly like the Yellow River flowing through Ordos, and the footsteps of the winter goddess unconsciously stepped into the desert of Saibei.

Outside, the snow is fluttering, and the earth turns into a white and snowy world. The relentless north wind screamed, rolling up some of the snow on the ground.

Zhu Decai and Su Huaicheng, two people who have grown up in the mountains of Lingnan for a long time, have never seen snow, and in the face of the winter scene in Saibei, they felt very novel at first, but soon felt that the cold air penetrated into the bone marrow, which was very uncomfortable.

The early morning sky in Saibei was unusually bleak, and the wind was coming in through the cracks in the bottom of the yurt.

After Zhu Decai got up, he wore a wide Mongolian robe, put his hands around his shoulders, and stomped his feet while crying bitterly: "Yo, it's so cold, I can't stand it." ”

Su Huaicheng was also so cold that his teeth trembled: "Yes, the cold wind here is so powerful, as if a sharp knife has been inserted into a bone." ”

Just when the two of them were shrunk from the cold, the thick and heavy tent door curtain was lifted, and Chi Erhanyan came in with two brown clothes, one for Zhu Decai and Su Huaicheng each, and said in an apologetic tone: "Yo, I came back from out of town last night and was only busy counting with the guys, and when I got up this morning, I found that the weather had become strangely cold. ”
