- "It must be at least twice as good. //q§£5//*(.wo.)" Zhebaizan is also a simple person, at least he doesn't lie much. He said honestly: "If it is this kind of salt, we don't need it at all. After filtering and sifting, it can be used directly. One hundred and sixtyoh, no, one hundred and twenty pounds of fine salt, and someone is willing to sell it to an adult horse!"
"So, are you willing to sell us a horse?" I looked at him and asked lightly.
"Sell!"
Zhebaizhan looked at the fine salt in our hands and gritted his teeth, "Master Yinxing, we sell a hundred pieces! Just give me seven thousand kilograms of fine salt! As long as it is this first-class fine salt , the price of mountain products is one hundred and twenty kilograms of ten-year ginseng, and one thousand two hundred kilograms of first-class fine salt for one hundred years. In addition, the price of a complete white tiger skin is three hundred kilograms of fine salt!"
Although selling a hundred horses is a huge sum, none of them, including the group of Jurchen men behind him, had any objections. They all looked at the huge wooden barrel with fascinated eyes, wishing they could hold it directly in their arms.
I said calmly: "One hundred horses are very good, and I like them very much. Then I will give you eight thousand catties of fine salt."
Zhebai¡¯s face lit up with joy, he rubbed his hands, subconsciously wanting to refuse, but he couldn¡¯t say it out loud. He held it in for a long time before he nodded heavily and said, ¡°Then¡thank you, Master Yinxing!¡±
"Besides, I wonder if, Chief Zhebaizhan, you would be willing to sell some livestock to us?" I pointed to the livestock in groups on the grassland opposite.
"The cows are here for farming, right?" Zhe Baizhan slightly nodded, "But here, they are just for eating meat Since Young Master Yinxing is happy, I won't hold back, eighty pounds of salt Just one, because it¡¯s not easy for a cow to grow up. We can give you a hundred.¡±
"good!"
I nodded with satisfaction and continued the conversation: "What about the price of the lamb?"
"sheep?"
Zhebaizan thought he had heard wrong, and said doubtfully: "What are you doing with the sheep? Do you want to eat it? It's not worth it! Buy sheep with such precious salt!"
No wonder he feels so. *The most numerous livestock on the grassland are not the ubiquitous horses, but these patches of lambs, which are also the largest source of food for the Jurchen people. It can be said that I am almost vomiting from eating.
When many people reach adulthood, they will experience nausea when eating mutton almost every day.
Of course. This is related to their lack of salt. If there is enough salt, the mutton will still be very delicious, at least it will not have a strong fishy smell. The fragrance of the salt will naturally cover up many unpleasant tastes.
I shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter. Let's buy a few hundred sheep and see if we can feed them."
"Oh, sheep are easy to feed, as long as there is enough green grass." Zhebaizhan thought about it and said, "I will give you a thousand sheep. You will receive ten kilograms of salt for each one. Master Yinxing, you Do you think it will work?"
I just said that sheep were worthless, but now they have to collect ten pounds of jing salt.
I almost burst into laughter. Holding back his satisfaction, he nodded and agreed to the price.
Thinking that he would soon get 26,000 kilograms of fine salt, Zhebaizhan felt very happy. He glanced at the small jar over there.
"What is this?" Zhebaizan asked casually.
"Oh, it's nothing. It's nothing." I shook my head quickly.
"Master Yinxing, is this what you want to sell?" Zhebaizhan was not stupid. He understood immediately. He was curious and complained to me: "Since you brought it, why don't you show it to us? ?¡±
"I¡¡"
"Okay, okay, open it! If it's good, I might buy it too!" Zhebaizan became more and more interested and urged me.
I blinked dozens of times, which showed that I had spent a lot of time thinking about it, and then I sighed, took the small jar from Jerokov's hand, gently broke the mud seal outside, and opened it. Lid.
A strong and special fragrance, once it is unconstrained, it will spread out in all directions.
"This is¡¡"
Looking at the clear water in the jar, Zhebaizan felt like his throat was roaring. This smell, this taste, made people want to pick it up and pour it all into their stomach.
I signaled to Goro, Tang Benjixiu and Tucker, scooped out the spirits with a small spoon, scooped them into small cups, and handed them to Zhebaizan and the Jurchen man behind him respectively.
Although there is only such a small glass, which may cost less than a penny, they hold the wine glass in both hands,There is still a brilliant light blooming on the sky.
Zhebaizhan first smelled the wine with his nose, then licked the wine with his tongue, closed his mouth, and slowly let the liquor taste in his mouth for a while, then suddenly raised his head and poured all the liquor into his mouth. , the hot wine flowed down the mouth into the throat and into the stomach.
¡°Good wine!¡±
After a while, Zhebaizan yelled loudly: "It's great! This is the damn good wine! This is the wine our men should drink"
A group of men behind them even looked up to the sky and roared out of control. The passionate roar almost made their tribesmen think that something had happened, and they all wanted to mount their horses to prepare for battle.
Many of the friends next to me couldn¡¯t help but want to laugh.
As for that, it¡¯s just a glass of strong wine.
Although it tastes very good and is very manly, there is no need to be so excited, right?
"However, they do not understand Zhe Byzantine's mentality.
Zhebaizhan and the others have lived on this small grassland all their lives. They have no hope of returning to the super grassland in their hometown. They just barely have enough to eat and drink, and they have to face various difficulties day in and day out. In the hearts of these Jurchens, Full of depression about the hardships of life, and too much uneasiness and hesitation about the future.
Such people most need something to vent their feelings.
Wine has always been a wonderful thing that relieves depression. From the poet Li Taibai's poems after drinking, to the celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties drinking and singing etc., we can all see the power of wine. It is absolutely Nothing else can compare.
In particular, the spirits we brew and refine have that fiery taste, that spicy aroma with a scorching aroma, which is most suitable for people in cold environments to drink. This can drive away the cold, eliminate moisture, and bring us As you can see from the example of the people on Ezo Island, if you can have a drink every night, it will definitely be a life of immortality.
After yelling, Zhe Byzhan was silent for a while, then he clenched his fists, stared at me and said, "Master Yinxing, how much of this unparalleled wine do you have?"
I almost burst into laughter. Instead of asking me how much I sold it for, you asked me how much I had. Aren¡¯t you just sending it to your door for me to kill?
"This wine is called 'Hero's Blood'. We brewed it using a secret method and buried it underground for twenty years before it can be considered a success." I said with a serious look on my face: "Fortunately, our Ezo Island is big enough, and every household has it." We are making hero blood, so for thousands of years, we can produce about 20,000 kilograms every year."
"Twenty thousand catties?" Zhebaizhan's throat moved again, apparently swallowing his saliva: "Did you all bring it?"
"Yes! I brought them all." I said hesitantly: "But the price we paid for this wine is not low. I'm afraid you can't buy much here Otherwise, I will give you a hundred catties. , let¡¯s forget about this matter.¡±
"No wonder you were unwilling to open it just now. Are you afraid that we can't afford it?" Zhebaizhan felt that he was insulted and shouted: "Master Yinxing, your jar of 'hero's blood' is only ten kilograms, right? Every five How about I give you a horse, or equivalent amounts of ginseng, fleece-flower root, or animal skins?"
The price he gave is definitely very high. After conversion, one kilogram of wine is the price of twenty-four kilograms of fine salt. Based on the fifty cents per kilogram we sold to the Botian and Tsugaru families, it is almost twelve taels of gold per kilogram. "Hero's blood" is 30% higher than the black-hearted price set by Lauren's father, which is ten taels of gold per pound.
The power of delicious spirits is indeed irresistible!
Of course, this is also because they have the most horses and mountain goods. If they were asked to give gold directly, they would never be able to give the price, only one-third at most, because there is too little gold in this place.
So, bartering and reselling other people¡¯s scarce goods is indeed the only way to get rich!
When I turned around, Lauren and Ba Ye nodded slightly to me and expressed their approval of the price.
Looking back, I said doubtfully: "Do you have so many things?"
"We don't have many horses, and we can only sell two hundred more at most." Zhebaizhan's mind was spinning very fast at this time: "But we have a lot of Polygonum multiflorum in our lives, and we usually can't bear to sell good mountain products to them. Those dealers. Today, Young Master Yinxing, you are here. I will take out the treasures of our clan! In addition to the worthless goods that have been around for decades, I will at least collect fifty roots of hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum and seventy roots for you. How about a hundred-year-old ginseng and eighty hundred-year-old ginseng?"
This time it was my turn to swallow my saliva. I quickly stretched out my hands and squeezed his hand: ??Anything else to say? We make a deal! "
"Hahaha¡¡"
Zhe Byzan laughed with satisfaction, looking at the fine salt in the big wooden barrel and the "hero's blood" in the small jar. Every hair on his body was filled with excitement and joy.
??????????????????????????????????????????????: The group of Jurchen men behind him couldn't help but turn their throats up and down when they saw that the business was concluded, and they wanted to pour out the "hero's blood" immediately and drink it.
However, they just thought about it. After all, "hero's blood" is so valuable. It is probably difficult for clan leaders, elders and leaders to drink it. Or maybe they can only get the reward of "hero's blood" if they can make great contributions, right?
