At noon on the second day, Lou Qiaosheng arrived as scheduled.

Xu Ling hurriedly invited him to sit in the inn to rest, "Brother Lou, have you eaten?" Why don't you sit down and have a light meal together? ”

"I've already eaten at home, thank you Brother Xu for your kindness, let's hurry up and see the goods, and I'll find a good buyer for Brother Xu soon."

The two call each other brothers, Xu Ling is actually polite, he sold cabbage and rushed back, bought a random baked cake on the way, and he had already filled his stomach.

If Lou Qiaosheng really wants to eat, it is not impossible for him to accompany him to eat again.

The two went to the dock warehouse, and the warehouse rented by Xu Ling was hidden in a group of small warehouses, and the guards were a father and son who lived nearby, taking turns patrolling here, and if they wanted to go in, they had to show the rental credentials.

Xu Ling took Lou Qiaosheng in, and nearly a thousand porcelain cups, pots, pots and jars were placed in the house, with neither straw nor wooden boxes.

Lou Qiaosheng felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't ask much, thinking that Xu Ling had gone to store those in the warehouse.

He crouched down to examine the goods, pulled a small piece of charcoal from his bosom, and scratched it across the yellowed book.

Xu Ling looked curiously, and thought that he was writing, but he didn't expect Lou Qiaosheng to be drawing symbols.

Lou Qiaosheng smiled: "I can't read, but I also have my own way of remembering." ”

He drew a tall and narrow circle, which is a cup, and a short and wide one, which is a bowl, not to mention the image of other utensils, anyway, Lou Qiaosheng himself can recognize it.

Color, quantity, quality, and even the place of origin, Lou Qiaosheng inquired all clearly. only didn't ask Xu Ling about the right price in his mind.

Xu Ling saw that he acted thoughtfully and orderly, so he didn't talk much, but carefully observed these processes.

In the evening, Xu Ling was having dinner in the inn, and Lou Qiao ran to him panting angrily.

"Brother Xu, I have already found a good buyer for your goods, and I am here to tell you the good news."

So fast?

Xu Ling hurriedly swallowed the things in his mouth and invited him to sit down, "Little Er, two more dishes, add two dishes and two more bowls and chopsticks!" ”

"Okay! Sir! Come now! ”

Xu Ling poured a glass of water for Lou Qiaosheng and hurriedly asked, "What is the price?" ”

He went to the market in the afternoon to inquire, and he also knew the price at which porcelain could be sold.

If Lou Qiaosheng tried to fool him, he would change him and find another tooth man.

However, people like Lou Qiaosheng, who have no other property in his family and only rely on the work of a middleman to eat, usually do not enrich their own pockets.

Lou Qiaosheng said: "I found an overseas merchant for you, he likes our porcelain here, but I don't know if it costs to transport it back to their territory by sea, and I want to try it." ”

"Therefore, there is not a lot of porcelain needed, Brother Xu, the amount of your goods is just right, these merchants are selling spices, they make a lot of money, and they are generous, you are really lucky!"

Lou Qiaosheng didn't excuse himself, he sat down to drink tea and eat, and talked to Xu Ling about what happened, quite excited.

When Xu Ling heard that there were still Yishang here, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Curious, he asked, "What do you say about those merchants?" ”

Lou Qiaosheng shook his head, but there are people in the tooth shop who can understand, some children come out to be tooth people very early, the age of elementary school is fast, those merchants sell jewelry and spices, they are very generous, and they are good at learning the language!

Xu Ling laughed and laughed, and the two chatted about these merchants while eating.

"There are red-haired merchants with jewel-encrusted hats, and they have to travel a long way to get here, usually in large fleets, staying for more than half a year, and they like silk and tea."

Lou Qiaosheng grew up in Quanzhou since he was a child, and he has been a tooth man for more than ten years.

He told Xu Ling that the precious stones, spices, and timber that the merchants had brought with them were very valuable, and they were sold out by the wealthy merchants in Quanzhou. Through the local big businessmen and then sold to the outside world, the price has increased many times.

According to Lou Qiaosheng, the price of a pound of pepper is above thirteen taels, and if there are fewer Yi merchants, the price will rise again.

Xu Ling listened bluntly.

If he could go with the sea boat, wouldn't he have to struggle for the rest of his life?

However, the current ocean voyage is not an easy and free trip in the previous life, and the loss rate of the merchants who come for profit every year is as high as half!

Xu Ling didn't want to test his luck with his life for the time being.

But if he can get pepper branches, he can plant hundreds of acres in space!

Xu Ling chatted with Lou Qiaosheng, thinking about beautiful things in his heart.

Lou Qiaosheng was a little excited when he talked about those Yi merchants, probably because these Yi merchants were equated with silver, and if he could often connect Yi Shang, presumably his reputation would also spread.

"I really hope that these merchants can worship the Bodhisattva and bless them with these porcelains still intact when they go back."

Lou Qiaosheng took a sip of tea and sighed with some regret.

Xu Ling's heart moved, "Brother Lou, how did those merchants transport porcelain?" ”

"It's also a method I learned from us, it's nothing more than a mat with hay, but the wind and waves at sea are not comparable to the river, alas."

Most of the food on the table has been eaten, and neither of them has finished chatting.

Xu Ling took a sip of tea and lowered his eyebrows in thought.

If these people didn't have a way to protect the porcelain, he did.

Just say it, what good does he get?

"Brother Lou, I have an idea, maybe I can solve this problem."

Lou Qiao looked at Xu Ling outside the business, and subconsciously thought of the batch of porcelain in the warehouse without any protection.

Immediately, his eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise: "If you can really come up with a good way, maybe we can catch the big ship of Yishang!" ”

"Brother Lou, it's just that I have a reluctant request. I would like to ask, if pepper is so expensive, why don't we grow it ourselves? ”

The Yong Dynasty is also a vast land, even if pepper needs special planting conditions, there is always a suitable place.

Lou Qiaosheng was stunned for a moment, and then frowned: "I really haven't heard of anyone who wants to grow pepper before." ”

Xu Ling knew that this was an empty book, but even if it was empty, it was written in imitation of the history of the previous life. The pre-Qin and Han dynasties were quite normal, until the end of the Sui Dynasty turned a corner, and I don't know if it was the author's private design, so he erased the Tang Dynasty and replaced it with the so-called "Song" skin but named "Yong Dynasty".

When Xu Ling heard this, he also had the expression of an old man's mobile phone on his face.

Anyway, life has to pass.

Xu Ling learned from Lou Qiaosheng that no one tried to discuss with those Yi how to grow pepper. But Lou Qiaosheng was willing to use Xu Ling's method of transporting porcelain in exchange for some pepper trees or seeds.

However, whether it can succeed or not depends on whether those merchants are willing or not.

In any case, the porcelain that Xu Ling bought at a cost of sixteen taels increased by an average of four times, making a total profit of fifty taels of silver.

Now plus the original cost, Xu Ling has a total of more than sixty-seven taels of silver.

If he can finally get pepper seeds or seedlings, he will earn even more!
