Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

There is a kind of colorful cloth woven in Tieling, which is cheap, light and breathable. Qin Juan bought hundreds of pieces.

At first glance, he felt that this kind of cloth was suitable for making shoes. It would not be too hot to wear in summer, and it was also breathable.

Doing the math, if it is summer back in Luobu, this batch of goods will be able to sell well.

The money can be used to build a house for Taohua and Gu Yue.

Qin Juan packed the goods into a cloth bag and wrapped it in a waterproof tarpaulin.

Go to the market again, and the light, high-profit goods are more popular, and the prices are relatively high.

This is the case with jade jewelry.

It's just that this kind of goods is inseparable from the eloquence of the merchants, and most of the prices are raised by the merchants.

Qin Juan didn't think he had this ability, so he didn't think about it.

Waiting for Qin Juan to return to the horse with Xiao Quer,

Gu Yue: "I thought they would gather at the gate of the market, but I waited for a long time in vain."

Tao Hua explained, "Maybe your memory is wrong."

Gu Yue didn't say anything else, walked into the room, put a package of things on the table, and went to pour tea.

Qin Juan walked over and asked, "What is this?"

Gu Yue drank the tea quickly, and seemed to be a little happy, he untied the package: "It's a good thing bought at a low price."

Isn't this jade jewelry?

"What's your expression?" Gu Yue hummed.

Qin Juan pursed his lips, pointed at these stones and asked, "How do you have the money to buy this?"

"This is not expensive at all. I don't know what people here think. Emerald beads are so cheap. I picked up a lot of them. There are also these coral beads, which should be from Tianzhu merchants. These are turquoise and agate. These are not expensive, but I don’t know if the Luobu you mentioned can be sold at a price after it’s over?”

Qin Juan didn't understand this, so he could only nod his head and said, "Okay, I will find a chance to take you to Liangzhou when the time comes."

He thought Liangzhou University, these things must be better than in Luobu.

Qin Juan and the others plan to leave after the Lantern Festival, as long as there is no heavy snowfall, the road will not be too difficult.

The next day, Qin Juan and Xiao Qu'er celebrated their birthdays, Tao Hua cooked birthday noodles for them, and boiled the eggs bought yesterday in a small pot.

The noodles are made from peach blossoms. After being kneaded, the noodles are drawn into strips by hand. They don’t look good but taste good.

Qin Juan and Xiao Qu'er ate two big bowls, and Gu Yue ate up the rest of the pot.

While they were peeling and eating the eggs, Gu Yue and Tao Hua presented the prepared birthday presents.

Gu Yue: "It's just a wish, accept it."

Qin Juan: "How embarrassing..."

"Don't be shy, I discussed with Taohua, we will have a good life every year in the future, we don't care about others, the four of us have to live a good life."

"I am the third day of April, how about you, Taohua?"

"The third day of March."

He was born in March in Yangchun, when the peach blossoms were in full bloom.

Xiao Qu'er smiled in surprise: "Ah! Taohua, you were born on the same month and the same day as Daddy Huhu!"

Qin Juan seemed to tremble slightly, and suddenly raised his head to look at Xiao Qu'er and Tao Hua.

In fact, Qin Juan felt angry. He didn't know the fox's birthday. He remembered that he had asked. The fox said it was September and the twelfth lunar month. Credibility!

Qin Juanqi's body was trembling, and the fox told Xiaoqu'er that he didn't tell him!

Xiao Qu'er: "I heard it from the uncles of the guards, so I remembered it."

Qin Juan raised his eyebrows.

That's not necessarily true either...

Could it be that Zhao Huaizhi didn't even know what he was born with?possible……

Under what circumstances would a person not mention his birthday?

Qin Juan rubbed his forehead, didn't think about this question any more, touched the birthday gift from Taohua and Gu Yue, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, from now on, we will celebrate each other's birthday every year."

Xiao Qu'er had never received a birthday gift from so many people. After opening the box, she played with the gift until midnight before going to sleep.

"Get up! Let the sun dry your ass!"

It was time for lunch the next day, but Xiao Qu'er hadn't woken up yet, so Qin Juan patted Xiao Qu'er's butt.

Xiao Qu'er woke up in a daze, and after waking up, he suddenly glanced at the sun outside, scaring him away from sleepiness!

Damn, this is the first time I wake up so late, if the master is here, he will definitely be beaten.

He hurriedly put on his clothes, took a deep breath, and forced himself to slow down... You must be calm and calm.

Qin Juan couldn't laugh or cry seeing Xiao Qu'er like this.

"Come and eat when you're done."

Gu Yue and Tao Hua also came in.

Gu Yue: "Yo, wake up."

"It's time to eat." Taohua put the pancakes on the table.

After lunch, Qin Juan went to the stables, because some business travelers had already left early, so the stables were much vacant.

They wanted to leave after the Lantern Festival because they were worried that it would snow again in the next few days, and the weather was not so good at the moment, giving people the illusion that it was going to snow.

After Qin Juan went to the stables, he fed the horses, groomed them, and when he was ready to leave, he saw a man standing in the stable in front of him.

He recognized the man and walked over quickly.

The man turned his head, saw him, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"When are you leaving?" Qin Juan asked inexplicably.

The man was also stunned for a moment: "It has nothing to do with you."

Qin Juan choked, and suddenly asked him again: "Do you know Brother Seven?"

The man stopped, looked up at him again: "What? If I said I knew you, I would sell Brother Qi to me?"

Qin Juan pursed her lips: "Then you really know each other?"

The man stopped talking.

Qin Juan pursed his lips and smiled, expecting him to dare not speak, Brother Qi is a military horse, he would not dare to admit it!

Qin Juan didn't know if this person knew Seventh Brother, but he just felt that this person wanted to hit Seventh Brother!

"Since you refuse to sell it to me, it doesn't matter whether I know you or not. It's fine. I'm leaving tomorrow. You take good care of it." The man said as he closed the door of the stable.

The man was about to leave, Qin Juan thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid there will be snow tomorrow, which will not be good for traveling."

The man was puzzled and frowned slightly.

Because he was standing so close, Qin Juan paid special attention to the man's hand from the corner of his eye.

He saw the thick calluses around the tiger's mouth on the man's hand, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The man didn't stop, didn't answer him, and walked away quickly.

Looking at the man's back, Qin Juan has already confirmed that this is not a businessman, but a soldier.

Is it possible to really know Brother Qi?

When Qin Juan returned to his stable, Seventh Brother was drinking water, Qin Juan suddenly said, "Seventh Brother, do you recognize that dog thief?"

Seventh Brother ignored him.

Qin Juan snorted, and said to Seventh Brother: "If you dare to go with him, I will break your dog legs!"

Seventh Brother hummed twice and continued to drink water.

Inexplicably, Qin Juan missed his pot.

Of course he misses Zhao Huaizhi more.

The next day, it snowed again.

Qin Juan's guess yesterday became a reality, but there are still many business travelers leaving Ma Xing today.

Most of them think that the snow is not heavy, and they can climb over the big mountains in the north within a day or two.

Therefore, many people set off according to the original schedule.

At the entrance of the horse shop, Qin Juan saw the man again, the caravan he was in was the largest caravan in this horse house.

The man also glanced at him when he got on the horse, and the two of them only exchanged one glance until they set off.

Xuezi hit his body and made a sound. Qin Juan watched the back of the caravan going away, turned around and entered the horse stable after a long time.

It snowed for only one day and one night, and the sun came out at noon the next day.

Qin Juan looked at the sky for a while, then suddenly turned around and entered the house, and said to Taohua and the others: "Let's leave tomorrow."

When he said so, Peach Blossom and the others agreed.

In the afternoon, I started to pack my things. I went to bed early this day because I had to get up early the next day.

In the early morning, the six horses were led to the yard, and when Gu Yue was loading the goods, Qin Juan went to bid farewell to Anuyi.

He has been dealing with Anui for so long, and on his birthday, he asked Anui to help him get a guide for passing by. Anui said that this document could at least help them get to Yili City.

That's enough.

When Qin Juan left, Anuyi suddenly said, "Hey, young man, are you a soldier?"

Qin Juan was so frightened that his hairs stood on end, but he didn't answer.

Anuyi smiled suddenly: "Actually, I can roughly guess the identity of these people who live in. After all, there are not many people who come to places like ours that can stand the investigation." Yes, as long as I don't do murder and arson, I can turn a blind eye to it, but those murderers have to be sent directly to the police. I know you are a good boy, and I didn't say anything about you. Just go back to the barracks, don't even think about running away, you can't escape...there are Mongolian cavalry all over the place, how tiring it is to hide."

Qin Juan took a deep breath and turned his back to him: "Thank you for your introduction, but you think too much, I just go back, goodbye, if we are lucky enough to meet again in this life, but I believe it will be very difficult."

He said and opened the door to leave here.

"..." Anuyi looked at Qin Juan's back and was speechless for a while.

When Qin Juan and the others started their journey, it was almost dawn, and just as they walked out of Tieling, they saw a caravan walking in front of them on the mountain road, and another caravan behind them.

"Take the mountain road and cross the mountain to get to the Ale Grassland." The people in the caravan told them.

It was three days after I saw the Ale Grassland, there was a village here.

In the small market in the village, Qin Juan and the others exchanged some things for dry food and water.

Most of the households in this village don't want money, but goods.

Qin Juan exchanged three pieces of cloth for two lamb legs, and Tao Hua exchanged a copper pot for ten bags of water.

Taohua buys practical things in Tieling. Although iron pots and copper pots are a bit heavy, they are very popular with the villagers here.

Some businessmen passing by told them that they had prepared too little dry food. Next, there was a road to the light snow mountain, and after passing through the grassland and desert, they needed to prepare more dry food.

After being reminded by the businessman, Taohua took all his pots for meat.

The villagers here have a unique way of storing meat. They marinate the meat with salt and then smoke it with charcoal fire.

Such cattle and sheep will be stored for a long time, and there is a smoky taste when eaten.
