Using a half-understood tea ceremony to deceive the Tubo barbarians and the country bumpkin Huang Youting made Yun Zheng feel very accomplished. In fact, it didn't matter what was going on under his hands. What mattered was the momentum. As long as he lit the fire with an expressionless face, he had no expression.
Pour water, wash the tea with an expressionless face, make tea and distribute the tea with an expressionless face, and then deliver the tea to the savages and bumpkins very politely, it is very high-end.
What's more, the tea art of the Song Dynasty was famous all over the world. With such strong pressure and exquisite tea sets, even if I brewed elm leaves for you, you still have to say that this is good tea. What? Didn't you drink the taste of the tea? That's
Because you are a bumpkin!
When Huang Youting picked up the tea cup with his orchid fingers and put the tea into his mouth with trembling, Yun Zheng knew that there was no problem. There was no problem at all selling tea bricks to herdsmen. Nowadays, the Tibetan people drink raw tea. It is not easy to have a roasted tea.
There is nothing dissatisfying about drinking tea, at least it won’t cause stomach upset.
There was only a small pot of tea, and after drinking it for three times it lost its taste. It was obvious that Touhou and Huang Youting still wanted to drink more, but Yun Zheng put away the tea set and pushed the ring cakes and other delicacies in front of them. Please
They taste it slowly.
The monkey took out a silver pot from the bamboo basket again. Yunzheng apologized, took out a tea brick from another box, put it in a concave mortar and pounded it. This time, he used a lot of tea bricks and put a piece of soil into the alkali.
Crush it and add tea to promote the color of tea. When the tea is boiled, give it to the monkey to stir vigorously back and forth in a half-human-high wooden barrel. While stirring, add butter, walnut kernels, sesame seeds, and the most exaggerated thing is that Yun Zheng also added
Crack two eggs into the wooden barrel, add a little salt, grab the wooden pestle in the barrel, stir it up and down, lift it lightly, press it hard, repeat it dozens of times, so that the tea leaves, oil and water merge and become colored.
Butter tea with aroma and flavor.
This is a skill that Yun Zheng has specially learned. If such butter tea cannot conquer the leader, Yun Zheng thinks that he will have nothing to say.
Sure enough, compared to the elegant tea ceremony just now, butter tea was more suitable for the taste of the leader. He drank the butter tea in a silver bowl in one gulp and stretched out his arms to hug Yun Zheng to express his gratitude.
Love, the more noble the person, the stronger the smell. He only takes three baths in his life, once after birth, once after marriage, and once after death. Therefore, Yun Zheng's face twitched involuntarily, and he hugged the leader with a smile of great honor.
together.
"The king said: You can stay and do business, and you can exchange your goods for the people's goods. This time, in order to thank you for your generosity, you can raise the price by 10%. You said before that you wanted to exchange for a few war horses, and he agreed.
Yes, and I gave you three ponies as gifts."
After listening to Huang Youting's words, Yun Zheng put a hand on his chest and bent down to salute: "Thank you Wang for your generosity, but the Yun family has its own rules for doing business, that is, we never allow others to ask us to lower our prices.
Of course, we will never accept price increases. No matter how many goods there are, what the previous price was, the current price will be.
Our business is long-term, not just one time. For the sake of the reputation of my Yun family, please forgive me for not agreeing to your request for a price increase, even if it is a reward from you."
Huang Youting smiled and nodded to Yunzheng, and quickly told the leader what Yun Zheng said. After hearing this, the leader smiled even more happily, pulled out a short knife inlaid with silver gems from his waist and gave it to Yunzheng as a gift.
A reward for being such a good businessman.
The guests and hosts parted happily and came out of the leader's tent. Lai Ba and the others immediately started doing business by beating the gong. Monkey and Han Niu also went over to help. Yun Zheng invited Huang Youting to take a walk on the grassland with him.
"Monkey and Han Niu are the servants I bought from Douchuan Market. I heard that they offended a man named Liu Daba. I wonder if this is the case? They are also from Yuanshan now and they must know about it."
Seeing that Huang Youting was a little embarrassed to speak, Yun Zheng simply used the origin of the monkeys to start the topic.
"It's true. Liu Daba flew away at midnight on the night when the monkey and Han Niu disappeared. It was extremely strange. The two of them couldn't kill seven or eight big men. At this time, it could only be the work of strangers.
Huang has wasted half his life, and now he is committed to the wilderness, it is really a trick of fate."
"Sir, why are you so sad? We scholars should first open our minds. Zhang Yi and Su Qin, who have not been down and out for half their lives, one person is vertical and the other is horizontal, wearing the seal of the Six Kingdoms is so majestic. Sir, now on the Eagle Throne
I am the mastermind, but his achievements today are inevitably not as good as those of the sages who came before me. When I return to my hometown in fine clothes, if I send you an invitation, I will travel thousands of miles to congratulate you."
"Brother, why do you have such a green eye for Huang Youting?"
"Without him, the Yun family's business cannot be separated from Mr.'s care!"
After hearing Yun Zheng's words, the two of them looked at each other and laughed. Yun Zheng's truthfulness left an excellent impression on Huang Youting. He spent all day alone in Tibet dealing with filthy Tibetans and thought he was full of knowledge.
But he had nowhere to show it, which made him feel miserable. Today he met Yun Zheng, which was very rare. He couldn't help but start a conversation. The two discussed ancient and modern times, whether Zang's ancestors had gained and lost, and the conversation was extremely congenial. In addition, the monkey gave the two
Two sheepskin bags of rice wine were brought to me, and while we were drinking and chatting, it was already sunset before we knew it.
"That's it. Sir, I need to build a career in front of the Eagle King, and I need to earn money here. Others don't know, don't you know? If I want to roll my name at Donghua Gate, I need money to pave the way, so we
The goals are the same. There are no less than a thousand armored men under the Eagle Throne, and there are even more tens of thousands of men who control strings. Why can't we make such a powerful force stronger?"
Huang Youting took a sip of wine, took a long breath and shook his head: "It's not that easy. Look, on the left of the Eagle Department is the Black Water Department. He is equally powerful. If the Eagle Department wants to be his enemy, the two tigers will have to fight against him."
Fighting can only take advantage of the Huama tribe on the right, so no matter what action you take, it will lead to disaster, so you can only stay on the edge of the sky lake, unable to move."
"Why can't Mr. Gentleman see those bandits running around? I heard that as long as the price is right, they don't mind helping the tribe fight. And there is such a precedent, why not make use of it?"
Huang Youting glanced at Yun Zheng, spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "Where is the money and food? If your caravan's money and food were enough for the Eagle Department to recruit bandits, I would have suggested to the Eagle King to take action."
"The Yun family's financial resources are weak, but there is a place where there is no shortage of money and food. Your husband came from Yuanshan. Don't you know that Yunshan has been a den of bandits for hundreds of years? Isn't the money accumulated there still not enough to satisfy your appetite? Fei
You want to take advantage of me, a little businessman."
Huang Youting was stunned, took a sip of wine and asked Yun Zheng: "What should I do once I enter the territory of the Song Dynasty and become tabooed by the court? Being provocative is not only against the Song Dynasty, but also binding on the Eagle Department. He
How could we withstand the ravages of the Song Dynasty when we were already suffering from enemies on both sides? Even if the Song Dynasty's border troops were cowardly and incompetent, the people in the court were not stupid. As long as Heishui and Huama Erbu were given money, the Eagle Division would
You will suffer immediate disaster."
"Mr. Huang, haven't you ever heard of the official saying that you can't hide anything? Who are these people in Yuanshan? To the Song Dynasty, they are all bandits. Dosha County has allowed them to wreak havoc in the countryside for so many years. Not long ago, they
It was even more frenzied that they broke through Dousha Pass and caused a huge blood debt. Everyone in Dousha County gnashed their teeth in hatred. If the Eagle Department sent out warriors to conquer Yuanshan at this time and pulled out the nail of Yuanshan, you say, Dousha County
Will the county magistrate report the invasion of the Eagle tribe to the superiors, or will he report to the superiors that he conquered Yuanshan and wiped out the bandits that have existed for a hundred years?
As for Yuan Shan's assets, of course they all belong to the Eagle Division. As long as he acts quickly and kills all the bandits at lightning speed and plunders their money, Yun dares to guarantee that not only the Blackwater, but also the Huama Division will not have time to react.
Even if people in Dousha County want to know, it will probably be half a month later, right?
With this money, Brother Huang will slowly start running Black Water. It won't be too late to spend the second half of the year. The Tubo people are strong, but their minds are not enough. This is where my brother can show his ambition. As for the younger brother, how can he be attached to his brother?
I’ll be satisfied once I make some money.”
Huang Youting looked at the thin clouds on the horizon and shook his head and said to Yun Zheng: "Brother Shi, you really do everything you can to open up your own business, but this plan is really good. The Eagles will get money and food, and they can manage the grassland. Brother Shi,
The business roads of the Yun family can also be unimpeded. The most far-sighted thing is that in the future, wherever the hooves of the Eagle Department go, it will become a place for you to do business. The growth and prosperity of the Yun family can be expected. Brother Shi has such a scheming mind at a young age. Sincerely
How deplorable!”
Yun Zheng bumped his leather bag against Huang Youting's and said, "The Yun family never keeps profits alone when doing business. It always benefits everyone. What do you think of this plan? If you think it's feasible, act quickly.
If the king is not secretive, his ministers will be lost, and if the minister is not secretive, the word "quick" is what matters. Hesitating and hesitating to achieve something is just a daydream."
Huang Youting did not answer Yun Zheng immediately. In fact, Yun Zheng could see that the leader was just treating him as a servant. He had not become the mastermind of the Eagle King. Yun Zheng did not need him to advise, he only needed him to give this advice.
Just let Eagle King know your thoughts.
Conspiracies need to ferment slowly. As long as the first green hair grows, countless green hairs will grow later. Huang Youting is the first green hair that ferments the ambition of the Tibetan people.
Lying in the tent at night, you can see the stars in the sky through the gaps in the tent. Watching the clouds in Dousha Village, then you must look at the stars when you come to the grassland. Yun Zheng does not intend to see all the beautiful scenery at once.
I only saw a small part of the galaxy. I am not very young, so there is no need to maximize this enjoyment in one go. (To be continued.)
