God don't even try to stop me from doing infrastructure!

"I'm sorry, I was too presumptuous." The businessman thought he was offended when he saw that the other party was silent, and immediately apologized.

"It's not your question, how many bottles do you want?" The term was too familiar, so I didn't react immediately.

Yunze knew that lip balm was the best seller among these cosmetics, even if this small jar needed a year's wages of the best female textile worker without food or drink.But I didn't expect that foreign merchants would want to exchange spices for these cosmetics.

It is also a coincidence that when he came out this time, he brought a new batch of cosmetics and new handmade soap with him, and he was going to send them to the Temple of the Evernight Goddess later - the side hall of the Temple of the Evernight Goddess has been repaired, and there are engraved A stele bearing his name.

Here will be dedicated to selling aromatherapy, balm, cosmetics, bath products.

The things from the Temple of the Sun have been transferred over, and it will be dedicated to selling medicine and treating patients in the future.

Although these cosmetics are so expensive, they still enjoy the treatment of being sold out as soon as they are put on the shelves, so they have to be replenished every two days.

Those married and unmarried women are saving money, and there are also young men who buy to please their sweethearts.They put a little on their lips every day, which can make the fragrance of flowers surround the whole day, and lighten the lip lines on the lips, making the lips rosy and shiny, so those who have it still want to stock up, and those who don't have it want to get it even more.

"How many bottles?" The businessman was taken aback by the big breath, and shook his hands again and again, "No, no, one bottle is enough."

Yunze took out a round clay pot like a small persimmon, with a small cloud painted with gold powder on it.Feeling that this value might not be enough, he took out a boxy gray-purple lavender handmade soap and put it next to the lipstick: "This is your reward."

The businessman was very pleasantly surprised, he did not expect that there is a more difficult to buy cleansing cream.

Cleansing cream is the name of handmade soap. The pronunciation of 'handmade soap' is too unfriendly to the locals, and it is very mouth-wounding. They simply named it 'cleansing cream' according to its function.Many people buy it to wash their face, and they can't bear to use it for bathing every day.

Everyone in Curry knows that this small piece is condensed from a few catties of high-quality olive oil and flowers from a field, and it gathers the essence of the sun and the moon (advertisements, all advertisements).And this is really easy to use. After washing the face, it feels refreshed and not tight. It feels watery. After long-term use, the skin has become better.

The merchants also bought a piece and used it. Of course, they knew how expensive this kind of body cleansing treasure could be sold outside. However, the handmade soap of the temple was still limited to foreign caravans, and they could not buy much.Even if you post money to ask the Curry people to buy it, you have collected more than ten yuan.This kind of baby, the more the better.

Thinking of this, the businessman's eyes became more eager.This person must be a big nobleman in Curry, maybe this person has a way to get more flying cream and cleansing cream.

"You are very kind." The businessman beamed with joy. He took it carefully, and then opened the jar of persimmons. Inside was a red and soft color like pomegranate juice, and it smelled like ripe fruits in a summer orchard. There is also a complex flower shape printed on the smooth surface of the paste.It's just that the weather is too hot, the paste has melted a little, and the flowers on it are a bit blurred.

The businessman looked at this exquisite thing and thought: How beautiful and sweet it would be on the lips, it really deserves the name of Feihua.

Look at the square, grey-purple handmade soap with exquisite patterns printed on one side. It has a translucent texture and is wrapped in small purple lavender. It doesn't have such a strong aroma, but it looks like that kind of expensive dessert. .

If these two things can be brought back to the country in large quantities and sold to nobles who are not short of money, this trip will be worth it.

The businessman tasted the sweetness and wanted to get more, so he refused to leave and continued to sell: "My lord, the few businessmen who came with me brought gems from Doro and tapestry from the Northland. Interested in meeting?"

Most of the things here in Yunze are sent by others, and they are all very good, but the fun of shopping is missing, so he is very interested now, and he also wants to meet these businessmen from other countries: "Yes. It's just that this place is not for talking. where you come with me."

Yunze and the others did not go back to their own house, but went to Curry's post station, a courtyard specially for foreign guests.

Those merchants had some doubts, but money attracted them and led them all the way to this other courtyard.The other courtyard is full of servants belonging to the royal family, who have received the strictest training in every word and deed. The well-trained maids lead these small merchants to the reception hall. At this time, the lamps with bronze animal heads are already lit. oil lamp.

These were originally small businessmen who were not qualified to be invited by the nobles. Even though they have been in Curry for a long time, they only met some rich peasants and squires. When did they see such a battle?Facing the smiling maids, looking at the dresses and exquisite jewelry made of high-end fabrics on their bodies, the small businessman was a little at a loss.

They were embarrassed to hide their indecent clothing and torn boots, their unkempt hair and beards, and their dusty faces.

All the merchants who came together stopped the first merchant, "Hans, who is this guest? How could he bring us to such a gorgeous residence?"

Hans himself didn't know the identity of this guest, he could only be sure that he was a nobleman with a very high status here, but he wouldn't say anything about it.He just emphasized: "In short, he is a distinguished guest that you can't imagine. And, do you know, this lord pays me directly with Feihua cream and cleansing cream."

"You actually paid with such precious things?" The other small businessmen stopped breathing.

"Everyone, please sit down." Yun Ze said.

The merchants sat tremblingly on the linen mats spread beside them. A maid came in with a painted tray and gave each of them a delicate bronze cup in the shape of a flying bird. Another maid poured a dark brown beer one by one.

This kind of wine is brewed with spoiled bread and some kind of leaves. It has a relatively light taste and is often used to entertain unimportant guests.

But even such a light beer flattered these small businessmen.

However, since they came out to do business, they were prepared to starve to death the cowardly and the timid. Everyone quickly gathered up their spirits and were eager to try, wanting to introduce all the precious products they had kept at the bottom of the box.

They come from all corners of the country, and they carry all kinds of things, of all types.There are even caged monkeys, cats, birds, chameleons and more.

In fact, Yunze didn't lack anything, if he wanted something, before he even asked, someone rushed to deliver it.The colorful blankets, gemstones, and spices presented by the merchants as treasures are all better at Yunze, so they are more picky when choosing, and most of the products are swiped off after just one glance.

The businessmen were not discouraged, but even happier.It’s okay to be picky, picky means that you really want to buy it, it means that you have used a lot of good things and can afford the price.

Finally, Yunze bought a robe woven with silk thread twisted from bird feathers, a specialty from Totokeya.The businessman holding this robe said that it was a treasure from the family of the First Princess of Totokeya.The king of Totokeya was infatuated with the daughter of a certain minister and drove away the former first princess. The family of the first princess was labeled as treason by the king for any reason. The prince also disappeared. Now this family has disappeared.

And this exquisite robe was accidentally obtained by him, and he has kept it for two years, because he has never met a nobleman worthy of this robe before, so he would rather keep it at the bottom of the box.

Yun Ze only half believed what the businessman said, because this robe was indeed well-made, and all of it was made of a kind of dark green silk thread that shone with gold, and it felt extremely smooth to the touch, but the inner lining was a little shabby. Lining is fine.

There was also a businessman who had a lot of unpolished natural crystal ore in large pieces with good transparency. He even hid an amethyst crystal cave the height of a person, so he also bought it.

These are the merchants of Dolores, who are rich in gold and precious stones.He exchanged gems and Yunze for handmade soap, and they needed handmade soap more than Taixi.

"These facial cleansers are made of olive oil and flowers, and they can be stored for up to half a year. If there are mildew spots on them, they can't be used. You know that, right?" Yunze reminded him not to hoard so much at a time.

"Thank you for the reminder, my lord." The businessman carefully wrapped the handmade soap.

There was also a businessman from the Northland who mainly sold some spices and medicinal materials. He took out two large pieces of ambergris, both of which were off-white and weighed more than ten kilograms.

The businessman said that he picked it up from the coast. At first it smelled of rotten seafood, but after it dried up, he lit a small piece and found a strong aroma. He thought it was very rare, so he kept it.

Yunze didn't lie to him, saying that it was a kind of spice from the sea, which was relatively rare, and then gave a price that both parties were satisfied with - settled directly with gold - if a merchant had a way to exchange gold for other things , he will prefer expensive items like gold.

Menis said that the Northland is a very xenophobic country, but he didn't expect to be so xenophobic to foreign new things.Other merchants wanted Yunze's cosmetics and handmade soap, but this man insisted on using gold.

The merchant from the Northern Kingdom said with a wry smile, "Our king doesn't like extravagance."

This is a lie. At that time, King Taixi often spoke bad things about the Northern King to Yun Ze, including mentioning how extravagant the Northern King was.It is emphasized that the king of the northern kingdom actually decorated his palace with purple yarn.

In this era, purple can only be dyed with the mucus of one kind of sea snail. In order to catch this precious sea snail, a group of people have to die every year, so purple is very precious.Even if it is King Taixi, he only dared to make a few purple robes for himself. He would never dare to think about decorating the palace. The elders' house and the temple would call him a dog.

And the king of the northern kingdom can actually decorate the palace with purple yarn. What kind of behavior is this to show off his wealth?King Taixi was so jealous that he yelled and told Yunze to write his extravagant and stupid nature in the story, so that everyone would cast aside him.

Yunze thought about it carefully, even if there were exaggerations in King Taixi's words, it should not be fake to decorate the palace with purple gauze, it is indeed a luxury.A thousand sea snails can produce one gram of dye, tsk tsk, a whole palace of purple gauze...

Yun Ze didn't take what the businessman said to heart, but he did say that he hoped that next time they saw this kind of spice, they could come to him and just go to this guest house.

Yunze also talked to the person in charge here.

When Yunze returned, Menis was instructing his servants to use lavender incense to drive away mosquitoes in the house.

People here discovered the magical effect of lavender very early and made incense to drive away mosquitoes.Not only the nobles, but also the commoners.They collect wild lavender, dry it in the sun and dehydrate it, then twist it into a rope, and light one end when they use it.

Lavender is a natural mosquito coil that can be used by the poorest of people.

According to the legend of Taixi, they migrated from the north. The king married the local princess, and the people and the aborigines mixed together to form a new country, Taixi.

Taixi has lived here for hundreds of years, but it was only in the past few decades that he made his fortune.

There are murals and sculptures left by the predecessors in the Temple of the Sun God. A group of people with yellow skin and more rounded features merged with a group of people with light brown skin and deeper features, and gradually became the current Taixi people.

When they came over, they brought many species from their hometown, including some spices. Lavender is one of them, and it is also one of the spices that are exported.

There are not many local spices in Taixi, and civilian families will also add spices such as celery, green onions, onions, and cumin to cooking, but rarer spices and imported spices are luxury items that only the rich and powerful can enjoy.

"Minis, I'm back." Yunze happily gave Mines a big bear hug when he came up, "I saw a lot of interesting things today, and I will tell you about dinner later. By the way, what is dinner?" ?”

"Grilled fish, toast slices, cold vinegared celery, iced pomegranate juice, chicken breast with foie gras." Menis replied with a smile.

"Sounds really good." Yun Ze's smiling eyes curved, he liked it all.
