Xu Xiangxiang stepped into a spice tent.

As soon as I walked in, the messy mixed smell hit people's heads. If someone who doesn't like the smell of spices passes by, they have to cover their noses.

Although Xu Xiangxiang felt a little uncomfortable, he also knew that these things were very important to Yunling, so he endured the strong smell and walked in with her.

And Yun Ling was so moved that she almost cried when she smelled these mixed smells.

There's pepper, it's pepper.

Pepper is the finishing touch of many dishes and one of the essential ingredients for many sauces and seasonings. Unfortunately, it has never been found.

And, with pepper, she can prepare the curry she desires.

Who can understand the joy of a pot sticker and a bowl of curry beef soup in the morning?

The Dongrui Kingdom does not prohibit the slaughter of cattle. Folks even breed beef cattle as food, but the price is more expensive, that is, only wealthy people can afford it.

When her uncle wanted to open a restaurant, Yunling could only think of beef soup, but due to the strong smell of beef and mutton and the lack of suitable spices, she gave up.

However, as the old saying goes, one ounce of spices and one ounce of gold, she couldn't be too eager.

Suppressing the joy in her heart, Yunling pretended to sneak around the store and found that in addition to pepper, there were many rare spices in Dongrui Country, and even a lot of dried lavender flowers.

"Where do these lavenders come from? It shouldn't come from our country, Dongrui, right?"

Seeing that she only asked about the source but not the name, the vendor immediately burst into laughter and asked, "Does this young lady know this flower?"

"My shipload of spices are all brought from the south. They are indeed not produced in Dongrui. I exchanged them for food with people in the south."

Yunling nodded, "I've seen it several times before. Stuffing this thing into a sachet has the effect of calming the mind and promoting sleep."

The vendor was surprised when he heard this, "Miss, you are really knowledgeable!"

He was doing business with those fools from the southern border, and it was extremely difficult to communicate with them because of the language barrier. The effect was only achieved by the fools demonstrating the movements for him, and he only got a rough idea by guessing while using them.

Unexpectedly, this little girl came up and broke it.

Yun Ling thought that this thing had many functions, but it was difficult to raise the price here, so she asked: "How can I sell this?"

It didn't take much food to get this thing, so the merchant said: "Such a big box costs five taels of silver."

Yunling shook her head, "It's expensive. If I go to the southern border to look for it, I won't say that the farmers on the border have it at home. Don't let me fool you."

The merchant clicked his tongue, do you know this?

He could only smile bitterly and said: "When I was brought here from there, not only did I have to hire people to carry me over the 100,000-meter-long mountain, but I also had to replace more than a dozen waterways. It was really hard work. Miss, just take pity on me. Mo It’s time to make a counteroffer.”

He was quite right.

The reason why a grand canal like the Dongrui River ends when it reaches Yuezhou is because further south from Yuezhou are the vast and undulating mountains of the states. Although there are still waterways, they are between mountains. Not only are they narrow, but the water flow is still there. It is very fast and not easy to walk, and there are often bandits on both sides of the strait.

It is not easy to transport things here from the south.

Yunling didn't answer, but asked about other rare spices in the tent.

Perhaps there are not many people who know the goods this year, so the tent is empty, and the bustle outside has nothing to do with the inside of the tent. The vendors are afraid that they will not be able to go home if they have packed the goods, so they introduce the items one by one, and the more they talk, the more enthusiastic they are. He shouted "Buy some".

Another customer came in to inquire about the price midway, and the vendor finally left for a while, allowing a few people's ears to rest for a while.

Xu Xiangxiang leaned into Yunling's ear and asked, "Can these be made into something delicious?"

Yunling nodded quietly, pointed at the pepper and said: "These rare spices are not just for making delicious food? They are just too expensive... Let's take a look. We can buy some pepper." "

Zhou Qiong was thoughtful after hearing the conversation between the two.

Seeing the vendor seeing off the other customers, he coughed and asked, "We have all the goods in these boxes, what's the price?"

Among the spices brought by the vendor, lavender was not very valuable, and the others were relatively rare and valuable. He could have made a lot of money every time he came, but this year his business was stopped by a fellow villager.

Seeing that the Dacheng Fair was going to end in one day, none of the wealthy families who had come to him to buy from him in previous years came, and he was so anxious that his mouth blistered.

If the thing is smashed in his hand, the capital to start selling again next year will be gone, and his business will really be ruined by then.

After thinking for a while, he said to Zhou Qiong: "Ten thousand taels, a child and an old man cannot be deceived."

"I'm not afraid of you guys laughing when I tell you this. I didn't have to worry about selling these things in the past years. Unfortunately, I made some money in the past few years and was a bit unscrupulous. I was tricked by a fellow villager at the wine table and was taught to follow the return route. In the past few years, business has been declining day by day, and the price I quoted you is 20% cheaper than what is currently on the market."

This young man really had a good eye, and he actually ordered the three most expensive items, pepper, nutmeg, and agarwood.

He has been busy for a year, and the main items are these three goods. The others are incidental, and some are bought and mixed together to hide their presence.

After all, the road is not safe either.

Zhou Qiong turned to look at her mother.

Sorry, he has no money.

He just asked, just asked.

Seeing Xu Xiangxiang waving his hand, Yunling hurriedly stopped him and said, "Spices are already in short supply. Store, your products are of high quality, so I don't have to worry about selling them. We just came to take a look..."

The vendor was a little disappointed, but he still grabbed three dried lavender flowers and handed them to Yunling, "It's rare to meet a knowledgeable person, so I gave these three to the lady. It's also good to put them in a small sachet."

When he saw that these three people were all dressed in fine clothes and looked extraordinary, he decided to form a good relationship and think of him if needed in the future.

Now Yunling felt embarrassed and said hurriedly: "Thank you very much, shopkeeper. Actually, it's not that I don't want to buy it. I just want to ask you to buy some of this pepper."

She pointed to the box of pepper and asked, "I wonder how much money these cost?"

The merchant thought that she would not return empty-handed, so he said: "Some people like this, and some people don't like it. It used to be expensive, but now some farmers in the south are growing some. The price has come down, thirty taels per pound."

Xu Xiangxiang was impatient with the calculation of one pound or two. He pointed at an entire box and said, "I want every box."

The merchant's eyes widened.

His big camphor wood box weighs one hundred kilograms each, and such a large box costs three thousand taels.

In excitement, he was afraid that this person was just looking for fun, so he hurriedly said: "Madam, it's useless for you to buy so much of this thing. If you want to buy it as a gift, then I'll give you a discount on these 100 kilograms. Two thousand eight hundred taels, these lavenders and so on are also given to you as a supplement."

Those random things he collected and played with on the road can also be regarded as a cover-up during transportation.

Yunling's eyes lit up, "Is this pepper sapling also a good addition?"
