At the city gate of Lancheng, a group of six horsemen was stopped as soon as they arrived at the city gate.

The two riders at the head were tall mountain people, who looked to be in their forties and fifties, followed by two young men in their twenties and two teenage children, both dressed in animal skins.

As for the mounts, there were two mountain birds, three jumping sheep, and a strange beast covered in black scales.

"Take this one, remember, if the mount is pulled anywhere, you must clean it up, or you will bring it back to the Sheriff with ten lashes. One of the guards tossed six straw bags.

"When did this rule come into being?" said a tall middle-aged man at first.

"What His Majesty ordered, it will be so in the future. "The guard is also tired of answering this question every day for the past few days, and he is a little impatient to answer this question.

But in the end, it was quite kind, and he pointed to a few riders not far away: "You can learn from them, and save trouble when the time comes." ”

A few men looked in the direction they were pointing and saw that they were trying to find a way to hang the straw bag behind the butt of their mounts...... In this way, you don't have to walk all the way like a horned cow at every turn, and secondly, lest you don't notice.

After all, it's impossible for anyone to keep an eye on the back of the mount's butt all the time!

"Thank you for the reminder!" said the middle-aged man who took the lead with a heartfelt smile.

"And ......" The guard carefully looked at the beast and warned, "Don't dig holes in the city!"

After a while, a few people went on the road again, and the strange beast looked aggrieved, and after running for a lifetime, he suddenly hung a crotch cloth behind his buttocks, and it was uncomfortable to walk.

"Third uncle, this is Lancheng, there are so many people!" After entering the city, the pair of young men and women at the back looked at the pedestrians on the street and said excitedly.

"After all, it's Lancheng!!Your Majesty's feet!" the middle-aged man, known as the third uncle, smiled.

"The clothes they wear are so beautiful!" The girl's gaze quickly fell on the cloth clothes on the very few pedestrians, although it was ordinary in the eyes of many people, but it was a great temptation for the girl who had just come out of the mountain.

"When the things are sold, buy half a piece of cloth!" the middle-aged man calculated in his heart, and said a little dotingly.

The pair of young men and girls behind them were the most talented young people in the village, and they had the strength of the earth wheel before the age of sixteen, much more than their parents. He brought this group of young men and women here this time, not only to buy New Year's goods, but also to find two old friends to see if he could let the two of them participate in this year's lantern grabbing party.

After walking forward for a while, the middle-aged man showed a puzzled look on his face, why is the former Buzhuang closed now?

I got off the mount and asked someone, only to know that due to the war this year, the caravan is now gone, and naturally the cloth village is closed.

This made the girl a little regretful.

But the children in the mountains, not so pampered, soon turned their attention elsewhere.

"What a smell!" the girl said with surprise. "It's more fragrant than the smell of roasted rock worms!"

Not only did she smell it, but everyone else did, and the mere smell of the aroma whetted your appetite.

"The smell is coming from the front. ”

Soon, a few people found a tightly surrounded shop, standing on top of the mount, they could see a shelf in front of the shop, on which a jumping leg of mutton was roasted, and two emaciated men who did not seem to be of the ancient clan sprinkled some powder on the leg of mutton every once in a while, making the aroma even more attractive.

"What is this for? doesn't it mean there are no caravans?" the middle-aged man stepped forward and grabbed a man and asked.

"It's not a caravan!" the man who was holding his arm looked back at him and pointed to the plaque on the top of the shop: "Do you see the words on it?"

"What's written on it?" the middle-aged man asked with a hint of respect, and although he was respected for his martial arts, he could also be looked down upon if he could read.

"What's written on it?" the man whispered, pulling the man next to him.

"Yesterday I heard them say it seems to be a royal spice shop?" said the other man, a little unsure.

"Royal Spice Shop. Your Majesty's spice shop!" The person in front turned and repeated.

"What are the spices?" the middle-aged man asked again.

Speaking of this topic, the man suddenly came to his senses: "See, the meat that is being roasted inside, is the meat you roasted yourself so fragrant?"

"No!" said the middle-aged man truthfully.

"That's it, that's what spices do, when you sprinkle some on the meat when you grill it, it's immediately fragrant! The taste is even delicious for your tongue. The man was still intoxicated, as if he was reminiscing.

"How do you sell this spice?" the middle-aged man was a little moved.

"I don't know, it's not cheap anyway. The passer-by looked at him and said, "If you use it in the stockade, it is better to buy some salt and go back." ”

"Then why are there so many people?" The middle-aged man was strange in his heart, so many people are surrounded here, it can't smell like it, right?

"When the leg of lamb is cooked, it is cut into thin slices and distributed to everyone, which is called ...... Taste, yes, taste. So many people are waiting to taste a little. The passer-by thought for a moment and said, that word is not easy to remember.

This spice shop was naturally made by Ren Baqian.

Of the spices that were originally planted, sesame seeds have already produced two crops, cumin has also produced one crop, and only pepper has just recently matured.

As for the peppercorns and large ingredients, it will take another two years to harvest.

However, when the sesame seeds and nature were ripe, Ren Baqian and the empress were in the land of heavenly views, and at this time, the pepper was only taken out and sold together after it was ripe, except for the agreement with Tong Zhenye, which sold him a part, and the rest was used in the palace, so he opened the first spice shop, and prepared to sell the spices to Dayao all over the world.

Pepper and cumin weigh as much as silver, which means that one tael of silver can buy one or two cumin or pepper, which is almost only more expensive than salt. It is too far from the same weight of gold as the spices of the earth.

After all, it can't be sold abroad now, and even if it's an official in Dayao, there's no oil and water.

If it were calculated according to the same weight of gold as in ancient times on earth, I am afraid that a large part of these spices would rot in the warehouse.

Ren Baqian originally made up almost 1,000 acres of land, including 200 acres of sesame seeds, 200 acres of pepper and cumin, and the rest were planted with large materials and peppercorns. This year, almost 50,000 catties of sesame seeds, 100,000 catties of pepper, 40,000 catties of cumin, and more than 100,000 catties of various spices, that is, more than 100,000 taels of silver.

Six hundred acres of land have such an output, which can already be said to be profitable.

I have to say that this world is really a rich land, even if there is no fertilizer and no fine cultivation, it can have such an output, which is almost impossible on the earth.

Half a day later, a few mountain people tasted the roast mutton, almost ate their tongues, went in and asked the price of cumin and peppercorns, and then left drooling.

The head also has a number in his heart, although the price is not low, but buy one or two of each and go back to the people in the village to taste, it is not impossible.

"I'm even hungrier!" said the girl among the several people with a look of grievance, eating a piece of this roast mutton, and now her stomach is about to rebel.

"Bear with me, first go see an old friend and ask you about it. The middle-aged man took a few people to pass through Jingyang Avenue, and after some inquiry, he came to a mansion and knocked on the door.

A moment later, they were ushered in.

"You're going to go to the lantern party? It's not impossible. Your talent is indeed good, but there are many talented teenagers in this Lan City, and I am afraid that you may not be able to stand out among them. Especially in terms of exercises, the children of those adult families are much stronger than what you have learned. If you're looking for a way out, I've got a chance!"

A middle-aged man in the hall first chatted with the leader very enthusiastically, and then thought for a moment after hearing the meaning.

"What do you say?" the headman's eyes lit up, he just didn't want this pair of young men and women to be buried in the stockade.

"Zizhu Academy, we want to recruit a group of students. ”
