I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Although he has been eating here for half a year.

But every time I have to feel this way.

At first, the other people at the table would chime in a few words, but now they are used to it, they eat when they should, and don't need to talk to such a hypocritical person.

But today, his hypocrisy was a little different. After swallowing the meat with emotion, he sighed: "I'm afraid it will be difficult if I want to eat it later."

The people at this table were taken aback for a moment, and immediately felt that the food was not delicious.

"How do you say such frustrating words." Neither was holding the bowl, nor was it putting down the bowl.

"Didn't you hear the news?" The man picked up another piece of meat. Although he made the whole table depressed, he didn't feel affected.

After a moment of silence, one person put down the bowl and chopsticks: "You mean... there are businessmen in Chang'an who started to contact our people?"

"More than that." The man shook his head, "I received a letter yesterday that someone from Chang'an ordered two textile machines from Fengchao."

Those of them who run a factory in Yizhou, the machines used in the factory are all bought from Fengchao at a high price, of course... it's okay not to buy them.

Then you have to endure the dilemma that the efficiency is far worse than buying a textile machine.

Even... the cloth woven may not be able to pay back.

"They are finally going to make a move?" At the dinner table, a person laughed at himself and shook his head.

The others turned their eyes away.

"You already know the news?"

"Did you expect that?"

"How did you know?"

Miscellaneous words, but the meanings expressed are similar, why does he seem not surprised by this matter at all?
The man took a deep breath and licked his lips: "You all know Glenima, right?"

The others looked serious and nodded.

This is a Tibetan.

Translated into Chinese, his name means "an auspicious and wonderful person born on Sunday".

The Qiyao day-keeping method is a time-dividing day-keeping method commonly used in the Tang Dynasty. For example, Wu Jue told these foreign merchants that hiring people should at least have five days off and two days off.

But this method of recording dates was not brought out by Yin Xuan, but something that Tang already had.

The Qiyao day recording method was born in the Zhou Dynasty, and it is somewhat different from later generations. In the current Tang Dynasty, Thursday is the beginning of the week, that is, Thursday is the beginning of the week.

Glenima is considered a legendary figure among these foreign merchants.

He started the reselling of glass.

Relying on this thing, he had some contact with some nobles of the Tang Dynasty. Although it was the work of lackeys, most foreign merchants who wanted to be lackeys of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty did not have the qualifications.

Originally, he could not go back to Tubo either.

After all, the matter of the glass made Tubo into such a trap.

But in recent years, Tang's achievements in the military have made Tubo more obedient, and Glenima has been able to return to Tubo generously, and even became a guest of the Tubo royal family.

Now it has become the largest merchant in Tubo.

It is a benchmark in the eyes of foreign merchants like them, and almost all foreign merchants want to be such a figure.

"I had the honor to have dinner with him." The man continued, "Drinking some wine at that time, he told me not to focus on the market in Datang."

"He said that although Mr. Zhengyang is friendly, it is impossible for us foreigners to eat these important things."

The man hadn't finished speaking.

One person couldn't hold back and interjected: "This...is he trying to persuade us to give up?"

"But I remember, isn't he the most vicious group of people buying silkworm cocoons?"

After speaking, he paused, and began to sneer: "The biggest merchant in Tubo now faces some ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty, and he can't wait to be their son and grandson."

Even if a merchant has no status, he can't be so self-deprecating.

"Besides Yizhou, he's also worried about the affairs in Yangzhou. He wants to eat two pieces of fat in one go, so he's the only one of us." Another person added, with a lot of contempt in his words .

The man was not embarrassed, he just shook his head: "That time, I also asked him this question."

"He didn't answer clearly, but just asked me a question."

Speaking of this, he sold a relationship, took a sip of his drink, and let out a long mouthful of alcohol.

"Do you think I will compete with Mrs. Wu or the people of Tang Dynasty for food?"

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone at the table fell silent.

Someone hesitated: "What does this sentence mean?"

On the one hand, he pretended to be doing business, but on the other hand, he said that he was not going to do business... Isn't this contradictory.

Some people were puzzled and lost in thought.

Not long after, a person clapped his hands, his eyes brightened: "I thought of it!"

The others turned their gazes away.

The man smiled and knocked on the table: "Whether it's Mrs. Wu, or the merchants from the Tang Dynasty who are about to come, they do business... Are most of them doing business in the Tang Dynasty?"

The others nodded.

"I think... Gelenima means not to do business with Datang, but it doesn't mean that we don't do business, we can't do business with Datang, we just do business with other countries."

"As expected of Mr. Gelenima who played with Tubo, you have a good eye. Did you see these things clearly in the morning?"

Someone nodded in approval, thinking about it.

But someone frowned: "But...we have a lot of cloth hoarded in our hands. Only the people of Tang Dynasty can afford these precious things."

"It is sold back to our country, that is, those noble people can afford it."

"How many are they?"

"How much can you sell?"

If something is good, but it cannot be sold, it is a bad thing.

The merchants who were still laughing at the beginning were stunned, yes... This is really a real problem. If the goods cannot be sold, it is no different from losing money.

"Since Master Glenima has made such a decision, he must have a countermeasure." A person slapped the table and said softly, "Let's go ask him for advice."

Someone asked: "This is his eating guy, will he tell us?"

"No matter how powerful Master Gelenima is, he can only do business with Tubo." Someone shook his head and said softly, "We are not from Tubo."

These words moved the people at this table.

They finished their meal in a hurry, drank all the drinks in their glasses, bowed to the girls in the branch and said goodbye, and then went straight to Glenima's residence.

Now there is still a chance of redemption.
