Chapter 232: The First Snow of September
There are always some people who want to buy ambergris from Liu Zhang at a cheap price and go back to enjoy the fragrance of ambergris.
Liu Zhang hadn't decided whether to cut a few pieces of ambergris and sell some to others.
At least earn back the money you spent today, if you dedicate it to Liu Che.
And how much in return? He didn't want to do something that would hurt him.
"I'll pay 100,000 yuan to buy a little, this is a spice that only the royal family can use."
Han Qi usually uses high-grade spices such as agarwood, and has never used ambergris.
"100,000 yuan to buy ambergris in my hand."
He only had fifty pounds in his hand, which meant that he had to sell him twelve and a half pounds.
Although each catty of ambergris is worth 8,000 yuan, it is a bit of a loss.
"You can also do it if you want, 10,000 yuan for a pound of dragon salt."
No matter how you say it, you have to make a profit of 2,000 yuan per catty, it depends on whether he is willing to buy it.
"Then I can only buy ten catties, okay, let you make some money."
Han Qi is not short of this money, he can be regarded as making friends with Liu Zhang.
Maybe after a while, I can get the young man in front of me.
"Honorable Marquis, such a large piece of dragon salty incense should be dedicated to Your Majesty. It seems inappropriate to sell it to someone else. ”
Li Dun advised Liu Zhang not to sell it and to offer the whole ambergris to the emperor.
Wouldn't that be better, and get a good return?
"You have a point, should I buy it?"
This made him a little entangled, and he promised to sell it to Han Qi just now.
still decided to sell Han Qi two catties, which can be regarded as agreeing to what he just said.
"I plan to dedicate this piece of ambergris to Your Majesty, and I can sell it to you for two catties, or the price I just said."
Although he only made 20,000 yuan, it can be regarded as a return to his capital.
If Liu Che is happy, give him some rewards.
The money spent should be able to return all the money, leaving three catties of ambergris for personal use.
After a while, Liu Zhang cut off a piece of ambergris weighing two catties with a knife.
"No more, no less than two pounds, I don't believe you can weigh it."
If it is more, it will be given to him, and if it is less, then make up a little more for him.
Han Qi didn't weigh it in front of everyone, and he felt that it weighed two catties in his hand.
weighed 20,000 yuan, and both sides paid off the money, and the others also knew that they couldn't buy ambergris.
The remaining large piece is to be dedicated to the emperor, and Liu Zhang will definitely not sell it.
If you buy a little bit per person, this fifty catties of ambergris is not enough.
If you make money in this way, then there is really no need to take pictures of ambergris.
The others dispersed one after another, and they felt that there was no excitement to see.
"I invite you to a banquet, and you can also make friends with other people."
Han Qi sent an invitation to Liu Zhang again, but if he was still refused.
That also hurts her heart too much, is she just so annoying to the other party.
"I won't go today, listen to my advice, and pay more attention to your words and deeds."
Don't hurt yourself and his son when the time comes, that will lose the rich life you have now.
At that time, I regretted it, and I heard many people talk about how he raised a lot of noodles.
This kind of behavior makes people feel shameful, and it is not bad in his heart.
I kindly persuaded him to find a suitable person to marry.
It's much better than others talking behind their backs, Han Qi and his mother are in a similar situation.
Their husbands died young, and they were widowed for many years, so they felt lonely.
"I invited you to the banquet because I wanted you to get to know them and give you face."
"It's boring to have a banquet like this, and I'm not interested in attending it."
Tonight, I still accompany my own woman, and I don't go to that kind of boring banquet.
They don't know each other well, so there is no need to give Han Qi face.
Liu Zhang and the others got into the carriage, and only the red monkey dared to give her such a face.
When they returned to their quarters, they put away the items they had bought from the auction today.
It is not safe to have a few guards send these things back to the Honghou Mansion, where it is never safe.
Li Dun decided to arrange ten guards and send these things to the Honghou Mansion tomorrow.
"Now you know what this ambergris is, right? In fact, it is the excrement of sperm whales. It took decades or even hundreds of years of seawater immersion and erosion to become like this. ”
When they heard Liu Zhang say this, they felt that he was really well-informed.
"This is the sperm whale, an animal that lives in the deep sea. Even if we go to the beach, we don't necessarily see it. ”
"And how did you get this ambergris? Since this animal can't be seen off the coast of Dahan, ambergris should not be easy to appear, and it is difficult to be washed up by the sea. ”
Chen Yun thought that ambergris might have been washed up by the sea, and she had never seen the sea.
"You're right, it's the waves that washed it up. You may not know it, but the ocean is huge. There are many species of animals in the sea, and their abilities are also amazing. ”
To talk about the knowledge of the ocean is to say that it is impossible to talk about it in a year.
"If you have the opportunity, you can go to the beach and have a look, some places in Dahan are close to the sea."
Maybe later there will be an opportunity to go to the beach and take them to see the sea.
Go to the beach to pick up shells, maybe some of the beaches look like mud.
Unlike the common sea and beach, Chen Yun and Liu Zhengchen are full of yearning for the beach.
"I will have the opportunity to take you to see it in the future, as for going to sea and sailing, I will not consider it for the time being."
After chatting for a while, he asked Li Dun to investigate the relevant information of Jianping Hou.
Liu Zhang wanted to know about the situation of the Jianping Hou family, and he didn't want to have too much contact with Han Qi.
Maybe one day she will be in trouble.
Han Qi may not care, but Liu Zhang cares about his reputation.
They're here to receive the year's gains, not to make friends.
It's not that they came to cause trouble, Liu Zhang told Chen Yun that they should go out as little as possible these days.
Lest there be an accident, although those people know that he is a red marquis.
There is no guarantee that they will not do bad things to them, so you still have to be more vigilant.
When Jianping Hou learned that his mother was flirting with Honghou at the auction venue, he was angry and scared.
For his mother's noodle head, he also turned a blind eye.
But Honghou can't flirt, otherwise he will get into trouble for himself.
Honghou has recently gained fame, and those who offend him will not end well.
This time, Jianping Monkey also came, and he also had to watch his mother not to do too much.
Liu Zhang stood at the door of the house and looked outside, the sky was getting gloomy and gloomy.
Snowflakes were falling in the sky, and it was only the end of September.
This place is located near the Jianghuai River and is not as cold as north of the Yellow River.
But now it was snowing lightly, and a cold wind was blowing.
Liu Zhang was so cold that he couldn't help but shiver, and Chen Yun walked in from outside the courtyard.
She went to the kitchen with firewood to boil some hot water and put it in a thermos.
At night, she could drink hot water and wash up, and she saw snow in the sky.
"It's snowing in September, listen to sincerity. It snows in August every year, and the cold lasts for about half a year. ”
Chen Yun didn't know much about the climate, and she also heard Liu Zhengchen say that it snowed earlier in Guanzhong.
"It may also be caused by the Xiaoice River, which is still suffering from the people."
In the long cold winter, the people at the bottom have no warm clothing.
They don't have much food stored at home, and cotton has not been promoted throughout the country.
This year, many people are going to starve and freeze, and Liu Zhang really doesn't feel good in his heart.
Today, I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy some things, and I feel that it is better to use these funds to buy food to help the people.
"I know that Lang Jun has a good heart, and there are tens of millions of people in the world. Your abilities are also limited, so don't worry too much about the world. ”
Chen Yun knew very well that the ability of the Honghou Mansion was limited, and the good deeds he had done were too much.
It was not necessarily a good thing for them, and it might arouse the suspicion of the emperor and some of the ministers of the court.
believes that the Red Marquis is buying the hearts of the people and intends to seize the throne.
"Lang Jun has done enough well, and some things will be handed over to the imperial court and local governments to do."
Some words can't be said too bluntly, and the Honghou Mansion can't show off their wealth too much.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and winter is coming, so it is normal for it to snow at this time.
"The environment in this era is better, and there is no greenhouse effect. The climate is noticeable everywhere, and the snow is good. ”
Liu Zhang couldn't help but sigh that the greenhouse effect in the 22nd century could not be completely solved.
In this era, there are still many animals that have not become extinct, and many places have a pristine environment.
Chen Yun listened to him talk about the greenhouse effect, and also talked about the Xiaoice River period.
Although she doesn't know what Xiaoice and the greenhouse effect are, she doesn't think it's a good thing.
"The Xiaoice River period is a long cold time, and many places are icy and snowy. The greenhouse effect is that many places are unusually hot, and winters are not so cold. ”
Not being cold in winter is not necessarily a good thing, which can affect the growth of some plants.
It will also affect the living environment of some animals, which is not something he can change personally.
There have been four Xiaoice periods on the land of China, and it is not known whether the premature snowfall here was affected by the Xiaoice period.
It's been more than half a year since he crossed over, and he always feels that the cold time is a lot longer.
Although it was a little hot this summer, the scorching heat was a bit short.
