Daming: In the beginning, he mistakenly regarded Emperor Yongle as his own father

Seeing that the money was almost in hand, the hunter suddenly talked to each other again, whispering there, not mentioning the money, and was a little anxious for a while.

This master won't go back on his word, will he?

For these two old war horses, he has spent a lot of thought, and all the deposits he received before have been spent.

If he doesn't want it now, wouldn't he be at a big loss?

Just as he was worried, Lu Lin handed over the gold.

"Pack things up."

When the hunter heard this, he was overjoyed.

"Okay sir."

After finishing speaking, he quickly repacked the two horse skins and handed them to him respectfully, before he dared to accept the gold in his hand.

I didn't bite it, I put the weight on it, it should be true, thank you quickly.

Lu Lin took the horse hide and did not leave in a hurry: "This horse hide is not bad, like this, how many do you have?"

When the hunter heard it, his eyes lit up, and he didn't expect that there would be a return deal.

"There are a lot, master, do you want more?"

"Yes, I want as much as you have."

The hunter was naturally happy. The master gave such a high price, and a piece of horse hide was worth half a year's hunting income. Not to mention how much he sold, even if he sold a few more, his family would be rich immediately.

but……

"Sir, may I take the liberty to ask you, what is the use of these horse hides?"

"I'm just a vulgar hunter. I don't understand anything. Please don't take offense, sir."

Although the hunter looked very naive, and in the name of humbly asking for advice, he was actually testing Lu Lin.

This point, Lu Lin is very clear.

He had prepared his speech a long time ago: "Horse hide is a very precious medicine. It is very effective in killing insects and relieving itching. You should use it a lot for hunting."

The hunter was defeated by Lu Lin, and he smiled embarrassingly: "Master is really well-informed. We do often use it for hunting, but it's not worth the price."

Wanting to fool the old hunter, the little master is still a little too tender.

The hunter said secretly in his heart.

Lu Lin also smiled awkwardly.

It's not easy to fool.

Lu Lin saw that he couldn't keep fooling around, so he looked around for a while to make sure there was no one around, and then he leaned into his ear and whispered.

"This is used to make donkey-hide gelatin."

"Ejiao is so expensive."

In this day and age, only noble ladies can afford Ejiao.

The hunter was taken aback: "Isn't Ejiao made of donkey skin?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he understood in an instant.

This is a fake, using horse hide instead of donkey hide to make donkey-hide gelatin.

Although it can be made, the quality is very different, and the price is naturally much worse.

Donkeys are inherently less than horses, and donkeys don’t have much usable hide. Unlike horse hides, which have a large area of ​​usable hides and thick hides, the donkey-hide gelatin that can be boiled is naturally much more than donkey hides.

This is a good way to make money.

The hunter looked at him, and he couldn't imagine that this gentle and jade-like young man was actually a black-hearted businessman.

It's really wrong.

He also tried to deceive people, talking about medicines that kill insects and relieve itching.

Trying to deceive the old hunter with just such a trick is really beyond his reach.

The hunter was proud of seeing through Lu Lin's mind, but he didn't know it was a trick.

What donkey-hide gelatin was also designed by Lu Lin.

First throw a drug that kills insects and relieves itching to confuse him. After being exposed, he has to tell the matter.

It seemed that the old hunter had sharp eyes and saw through Lu Lin's trick, but in fact he was always in the trick and never came out.

The hunter felt that he was somewhat ignorant.

But after thinking about it, as long as he can make money, it doesn't matter who he is, anyway, he only provides horse skins, and the rest has nothing to do with him.

"My lord, ordinary horse hide is also fine."

Ordinary horse skin is hard to find.

But it was rejected by Lu Lin: "No, I tried all the horse breeds. Except for Mongolian horses, no other horses can survive the fake donkey-hide gelatin."

"Moreover, the donkey-hide gelatin boiled by Mongolian horses is not only authentic, but also smells almost the same. Most importantly, it can brew a lot of donkey-hide gelatin, which is several times that of ordinary horses."

The old hunter did not survive Ejiao, but this is not a difficult problem to understand.

Mongolian war horses exercised a lot every day and ate the finest forage, so they were lean and strong, and naturally better than ordinary horses.

These are not difficult to figure out, but it is not easy to buy Mongolian war horses in large quantities, even if they are old horses, and it is easy to lose their heads.

"Master, in fact, ordinary horses are similar. If you want a lot, I can give you a cheaper price..."

This serves multiple purposes, hello, hello, hello everyone.

"If I want ordinary horses, why should I come to Peiping all the way? Don't we have any horses locally?"

Faced with Lu Lin's rebuttal, the old hunter was so stunned that he couldn't say a word.

That's right, Daming is not without horses, why bother to come here to buy them?

"If you can't get it, that's fine. I'll find someone else."

Lu Lin pretended to be angry, turned and left.
