After a detailed discussion, Qin Huaidao fell into deep thought and thought about pirates. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be pirates faked by the Japanese regular army. This was an invasion, a national war, not a simple banditry. Could it be that the Japanese were retaliating for their capture of Tanaka, or the Japanese?
There was civil strife, and some people couldn't survive, so they came to the Tang Dynasty to fight against the autumn wind?
Everything is weird!
Yuchi Gong didn't say anything, his eyes were solemn, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The reception room was a bit depressingly quiet.
A gust of wind blew by, ruffling the leaves outside the window and disturbing the hearts of the two of them. The afterglow of sunset slipped in through the window and fell on the ground, reflecting the swaying leaves, adding an unpredictability to the tranquility.
After a while, Mrs. Yuchi came over and said that the hot water was ready. Qin Huaidao was not polite and left, rinsed off, put on clean clothes, and was led to a restaurant by servants. Yuchi Gong was already waiting, and several
Hot dishes and a jug of good wine.
"Come and sit here, this is the liquor brewed in your house." Yuchi greeted him respectfully.
The two sat down and chatted while eating. After drinking for three rounds, Qin Huaidao took a look at the imperial doctor's prescription. Yuchi Gong was eager to have it brought to him. It contained some ginseng, wolfberry, donkey-hide gelatin, red dates and other ingredients.
, proper consumption can help to replenish the vital energy, nourish the blood and calm the nerves, and to a certain extent, it can improve the symptoms of discomfort caused by excessive blood loss.
However, the imperial doctor may have been worried about something happening, so he prescribed a large dose. Qin Huaidao was worried that Yuchi Gong's deficiency would not be replenished, and too much dosage would be counterproductive, so he suggested: "Shibo, there is nothing wrong with this prescription, but the dose is too strong. Maybe the imperial doctor is worried
Something happened, and strong medicine was given to stimulate it. Now that I wake up, I can't follow the medicine exactly, but it can be reduced by 30%."
"Reduced by 30%?" Yu Chigong was a little worried.
"Believe me, medicine has three parts poison, haste makes waste, reducing it by 30% can achieve the effect of warming and tonic, and then supplementing it with food supplements will make each other more effective."
"How to take supplements?" Yu Chigong asked.
"Beans, eggs and lean meat can promote hemoglobin synthesis."
"What protein?" Yu Chigong interrupted, with a confused look on his face.
Qin Huaidao then realized that people in this era do not understand science, but there is no way to explain this. Just as Mrs. Yuchi came in, she said angrily: "You don't care what protein, anyway, what Huaidao does, what we do is what we need to do."
Here’s a list, I’ll ask someone to buy it.”
"Aunt, let's do it this way. I need a lot of things. After eating, I will go to the West Market to take a look. You can send someone to accompany me so that I can know where to buy them in the future. I will stay at the house these days and personally prepare ingredients for Baolin to supplement.
"Qin Huaidao said, it's not that he doesn't want to make a list, but he doesn't know if there are many things now or what their names are, for fear of making a joke and arousing suspicion.
Mrs. Yuchi thought that Qin Huaidao wanted to choose the best one herself, so she was overjoyed and quickly agreed.
After dinner, Qin Huaidao headed towards the West Market, followed by the housekeeper of Yuchi Gong Mansion and two servants in charge of purchasing.
The West Market is to the west of Chang'an and is mainly populated by Hu merchants from all over the country. The prices are low and the varieties are complete. If the East Market is a consumption place for nobles, officials and wealthy families, the West Market is the favorite shopping paradise for ordinary people.
Wandering along the street for a while, Qin Huaidao saw a vegetable like spinach, and his eyes lit up. This vegetable is rich in iron. Is it actually available in this era?
Qin Huaidao stepped forward and saw that it was Hu Shang, and asked, "What kind of dish is this?"
When Hu Shang saw Qin Huaidao dressed in extraordinary clothes and with a majestic air, he quickly said: "Noble sir, this is the balengcai, which comes from the country of Nibalo. It took a lot of effort to transport it here."
The country of Nepal was Nepal in later generations. Qin Huaidao vaguely remembered that spinach was indeed introduced from Nepal to the country during the Zhenguan period. He actually couldn’t remember which year and was too lazy to dwell on it. He asked, "Sell it like this?"
"Noble sir, this is a balsam pear, given by the gods. It has traveled thousands of miles and it has not dried up. It took a lot of effort to come to this great country. I always have a handful of money and a conscience price. It cannot be less." Hu Shang said quickly.
Qin Huaidao saw that the vegetables were very fresh, and they had not been picked for more than a day. He laughed and said, "You are really good at making things up. You are not honest. This vegetable is very fresh. You can only pick it in the morning. Did you grow it yourself?"
The other party's face froze and his eyes flickered.
"Okay, you can deceive others with your trick, but you can't deceive me. Give me a real price and take it all." Qin Huaidao said with a smile, not angry at all. It's a business, so that's understandable.
"You are a wise man with a sharp eye, who are you?" Hu Shang asked carefully.
"This is the Lord Protector of my court. I can buy your food to give you face." The housekeeper of Yuchi Gong's Mansion reminded.
"Are you the Protector?" The other party's eyes lit up and he immediately had an idea. He said without hesitation: "I don't want any money. I'll give it all to you. Take it all."
"You want to do business in my name?" Qin Huaidao saw through the other party's intentions and pointed it out directly.
The other party smiled and did not explain.
Qin Huaidao was happy instead. This guy was a business man. Thinking about it, he came all the way to Chang'an to do business. It was impossible without some brains. He smiled and said: "As long as you publicize that I bought your pork belly, it will definitely
The value has soared, so I don’t have to worry about selling it. You are a good calculator. You can send a car to Qinjiazhuang every day, and I will not hold you accountable for the money you pay for each car."
A cart of home-grown vegetables in Chang'an City will never last forever, and the price is very reasonable.
This kind of balsamic vegetable has great benefits for the body, especially for workers who work under gravity. It is also a must-have hotpot. It is an unexpected surprise. How can you miss it if you see it?
The other party also understands the market, so he quickly calculated and figured out that with a fixed sales channel, he would not have to worry about selling the home-grown balsamic vegetables. As for the cost, it was just a handful of seeds and a little effort. It was worthless, but with the help of the Duke Protector's Palace.
Once the line is established, the reputation will increase, and the pork belly can be sold at a good price.
The businessman values profits, so this man made a quick decision: "Okay, just do what your Excellency said."
"Take all these and give him a hundred coins." Qin Huaidao looked at the housekeeper.
One hundred cents can buy a lot of vegetables. Hu Shang thought he wouldn't give the money, but he didn't expect there was still one hundred cents, and he was extremely happy.
The housekeeper immediately arranged for two servants to take the things and put them on the shopping cart.
The group continued to move forward and saw two men dressed as hunters setting up a stall to sell wild boar meat, which weighed three to four hundred kilograms. This was a good thing. The rich and aristocratic people in the Tang Dynasty despised wild boar meat as vulgar and ungentlemanly.
The smell is too strong, so you won't buy it to eat. Ordinary people are poor and can't afford it.
The whole wild boar was not sold at all. The faces of the two hunters were full of anxiety. Qin Huaidao went over to take a look and found it very fresh. He asked with a smile: "This was hunted in the morning, right? One arrow hit the eye, and the head was knocked open and died."
How to sell it?”
"Your Majesty, my brothers were selling this for a while, but they didn't understand the market. Your Majesty, please give me a price and sell it if it suits you."
Qin Huaidao saw the two people with silly smiles on their faces, and the careful look on their faces made people feel distressed. It was not easy for the people, so he felt pity and said with a smile: "An adult sheep costs ten cents a pound, and wild boar is cheaper than mutton. This is the market, I guess.
You two also know, right?"
The two quickly nodded in approval.
Qin Huaidao continued: "Your wild boar weighs more than 300 kilograms, but less than 400 kilograms, right?"
The two hunters nodded again, their eyes a little confused, but they didn't dare to ask.
Qin Huaidao continued: "Then I'll give it to you based on four hundred kilograms and the price of mutton. A total of four thousand wen, which is four strings, right?"
"Yes, yes, you want them all?" one person asked.
"Anything that has been hunted in the past three days will be sent directly to the Duke of E's government. The price will be the same. If there is a kill in three days, it will be sent directly to Qinjiazhuang. You can take as much as you want, and you will live better." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
"Do you want it, little bastard?"
"Yes, I'll give you a hundred cents a piece, little bastard."
"Really?" the two hunters asked in disbelief.
"Give me the money." Qin Huaidao smiled and looked at the housekeeper.
The steward immediately gave the money and said: "This is a way to make money. Go back and hunt hard and bring them all. This is the famous Lord Protector, how can he lie to you?"
"Ah... the common people pay homage to the Lord Protector." When the two hunters heard his name, they were frightened and had to salute.
Qin Huaidao quickly supported him and said with a smile: "You're welcome. There is gold under my knees. Kneel to the sky and your parents. Don't kneel to others easily. However, the wild boar is ferocious, so be careful."
"It doesn't matter. We hunt all year round in the village and rely on it to survive. Protecting the country has given us the opportunity to make money. On behalf of the whole village, young and old, a certain person is very grateful."
"I'm serious. The wild boar you exchanged for your life should be paid with money. It can be bought and sold normally without any favors. In addition to wild boar, if there are other prey, you can also send them to Qinjiazhuang. The price is higher than the market price. This is your point.
You can rest assured." Qin Huaidao added.
"The Lord Protector is a great hero, a peerless hero, and a truly good official for the people. It's okay to give this small letter to the Lord Protector in vain," the two hunters said excitedly.
After chatting for a while, the group left and bought some longan and potato medicine, that is, yam. These two, together with spinach, can increase the body's iron content, help improve hematopoietic function, and then replenish blood volume, which is beneficial to excessive blood loss.
It is of great benefit to people.
After purchasing a large amount of beans and eggs, the group returned.
