Chapter 296

Losing Haidongqing’s troops

As the second largest city in Dayan, Wanzhou has always been a place where merchants competed to settle. In the past, there were many Hu merchants doing business in the north and south cities of Wanzhou.

Nowadays, with the hosting of cross-border golf tournaments, this place has become a paradise for businessmen, and a "city within a city" was born.

Baicao Shi and Zhe Yu went shopping with Ban Shuangye.

Just after entering the market, Baicao Shi couldn't move forward.

Her eyes fell on a medicinal herb stall, which featured authentic medicinal materials from Xiliang. There were only a dozen of them, and Baicao Shi was interested in them.

"Boss, how do you sell this lily, wolfberry, oh, and this licorice and this safflower?"

In modern times, lily and wolfberry are produced in Gansu and Hexi Corridor, while licorice and safflower are mainly produced in Xinjiang.

Baicao Shi speculates that Xiliang is closer to the ancient Western Regions in terms of geography.

Because she was so excited, she ordered several medicinal materials and inquired about their prices.

The shopkeeper has high eyebrows and deep eyes, and he quotes the price in Dayan dialect which is not very fluent. He travels all over the country and wants to do big business, and he has to pass the language.

Baicao Shi didn't understand much, so he looked at Zheyu as if asking for help.

Zheyu whispered in her ear, "He took you for granted and raised the price to the sky."

Baicao Shi said "Hmm", the boss looked quite honest and honest.

Zheyu whispered again: "You see, his position is so good, but there are basically no traces of turning the herbs. What does it mean? As soon as he opened his mouth, he scared away the customers who really wanted to buy. What's the reason? It can only be due to the price.

.”

Baicao Shi pinched her chin, feeling that it made sense. She replied bluntly, "It's cheaper, 50% off."

The boss's eyebrows flew into "Afanti", which was very exaggerated. He spoke as fast as firecrackers and replied. It's nothing more than that his herbal medicines are of high quality and good color. Moreover, they are shipped all the way from Xiliang and pass through the desert.

How much has been lost.

Baicao Shi was still waiting for negotiation, so Zheyu pulled her away. "You might as well look at it more before buying it. And when you ask, don't ask so many questions at once. The more urgent you show your need, the higher the price the other party will ask."

Shuangye was particularly enlightened after hearing this. "Brother-in-law is so amazing, he knows everything."

Of course Baicao Shi also understands, but she is a doctor, and she naturally has this virtue when she sees Materia Medica.

As I walked to the memorial, I stopped at a stall in front. There were not that many medicinal materials, but there were several that Baicao Shi was interested in. The price was half cheaper than the previous one.

Zheyu said: "You can start."

There were a lot of things, and the small backpack was full. Shuangye volunteered to carry it on his back. "Sister Shishi, what can these medicinal materials be used to treat?"

Shuangye is now learning medical skills from the green-headed man, and is full of curiosity.

Baicao Shi is also willing to teach her. "That red flower, remember, has many uses. The most important ones are to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and to invigorate qi and relieve pain. But what I value is its other functions, such as dyeing and being used as a raw material for rouge.

Baicao Xiangyi will be updated soon."

If the Qipai facial mask is still in the stage of skin care and cosmeceuticals, then the rouge made from safflower has entered the beauty industry.

"What about licorice?"

"Licorice is mainly used to eliminate phlegm and relieve cough. You have seen wolfberry a lot. Almost every dish in Quanjufang has wolfberry to improve color. But I think the wolfberry sold by people in Xiliang is better. As for lilies, celery lily

Porridge, super delicious.”

When it comes to eating, Zheyu thinks that after getting married, this kind of food is really satisfying. He doesn't know his mental activity, otherwise he would definitely slap his thigh and shout, "Look what I said, if you want to catch

To win a man’s heart, you must first capture his stomach.”

Going further, Baicao Shi bought some Bupleurum and Platycodon from a Beirong man.

"This platycodon is especially delicious when used as kimchi. Alas, Quanjufang has to update its menu again." Baicao Shi was very distressed. There were so many ideas and creativity that the chef couldn't keep up.

"I'll just eat anyway." Zheyu said with a smile.

"Let's go home and make platycodon kimchi for you!" Baicao Shi waved his hand and wanted to go home.

Zheyu pulled her and pointed, "Are you sure you don't want to look at anything else? Take a look at what's on sale over there?"

Baicao Shi followed the direction of her finger and saw a woman wearing Beirong clothing, with many braids on her head and a touch of plateau red on her cheeks, selling... a big bird.

The bird is very beautiful, with white head feathers and brown spots, and dark gray upper body. It has a sharp beak and sharp eyes.

It stood on the girl's shoulder, very intimately. Occasionally it spread its wings, and the two wings turned out to be more than two meters long.

"This...is this?" Baicao Shi asked stutteringly. She had an answer in her mind, but was not sure.

"This is Haidongqing." Zheyu had to answer affirmatively, and judging from the quality, this should be a breed that only the nobles of Beirong are qualified to raise.

Baicao Shi recalled the difficult problem that his master raised in the policy theory class when Zheyu was admitted to Kunming Academy. General Weiyuan, who guarded the borders of the Tatar King's court, presented Haidongqing as a gift to the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty for his 45th birthday.

"Don't tell me that the emperor likes this big bird. I'm attracted by it. If I had one, it would be quite handsome." He might be able to compete with Fu Bao.

The woman selling the bird heard this and complimented her in fluent Dayan dialect: "Young girl has good taste, and I have a noble pedigree of sea green. If I were not eager for money, I would not sell it at all."

Very good, this time there is no language barrier. "How much does this seaweed cost?"

The plateau red woman stretched out a finger and said, "One hundred taels."

One hundred taels is a lot, which is equivalent to several years of food rations for ordinary people. But for a sea turtle, especially one with a noble bloodline, it is really nothing.

Baicao Shi now has money in his pocket and is not panicking. Besides, Hai Dongqing and Zhe Yu are so well matched.

She went to take out her wallet.

But Zheyu pulled her over and whispered in a low voice: "Are you sure you want to buy it? Haidongqing is difficult to tame."

Baicao Shi smiled and said: "Yu Bao, Fu Bao is hard to tame, Huanglu is hard to tame, haven't we all tamed it? It's just a Haidongqing."

"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. A pure-blooded Haidongqing, let alone a hundred taels of silver, would be bought by someone even for a thousand taels." Zheyu reminded Baicao Shi again, but out of the corner of his eye he looked at the girl selling the falcon. Then

The woman's brows were undisguised, and she could not tell that she was in urgent need of money. "Why is she willing to sell it at a low price?"

Baicao Shi stood on tiptoes and said something in Zheyu's ear. Zheyu stopped talking and raised the corners of his mouth.

If you give it as a 21st birthday gift, it would indeed be a good idea.

After paying the money, the woman weighed it with a smile and said, "My name is Viga. Thank you for your help and buying me Haidongqing."

She could speak the words to help people in Jianghu, which shows that this woman Yan is very proficient in culture.

Her name is also very interesting, Baicao Shi thought, holding the dozens of kilograms of Haidongqing home.

After walking a few hundred meters and leaving Nanshi, when there were not that many people around, I suddenly heard a whistle.

Hai Dongqing flapped her wings and was about to fly back.

One hundred taels of silver were about to be wasted, so Baicao Shi pressed her bracelet and shot out three needles.

Since the improvement of the master's Ma Fei Powder, Baicao Shi's bracelet contains half of the needles to quench the aconite poison and half of the Ma Fei Powder.

The amount of three needles is probably enough to anesthetize Haidongqing, which is one of the reasons why Baicao Shi bought it.

However, Haidongqing is the "God of Eagles" after all, and his status in Beirong is equivalent to that of a black bird or a phoenix in Dayan.

Ma Fei San couldn't stop Hai Dongqing. Apart from causing it to wander a little, it didn't have much impact. It became more fierce and seemed to want to fight Baicao Shi to the end.

Zhe Yu moved, and his palms flew like Tai Chi, attacking Hai Dongqing. Each move seemed weak, but in fact it contained great power, making Hai Dongqing unable to fight back.

"Yu Bao, leave it alive." Baicao Shi, who transformed into a cheerleader, shouted.

Zheyu raised his palm above his head, tilted it into a knife, and struck it. "Don't worry, it's appropriate."

Hai Dongqing fainted.

At this moment, Zhe Yu also blew a whistle, and within a moment, a yellow gelding horse rushed over. Zhe Yu tied Hai Dongqing to the horse. "Let's go!"

Three figures walked out from behind the wall of the shop not far away. The one at the front was not the red woman from the plateau just now, but who was it?

"Second, they defeated Hai Dongqing."

"Second" means the king's daughter in Beirong's language, which is equivalent to the princess of Dayan.

The woman squeezed the hundred taels of silver in her hand tightly, and her eyes were about to burst into flames. A hundred taels of silver was not considered money at all. She had lost her wife and lost her army. "Go to my father. I want to fight for my Haidongqing."

Ask for justice. I will never forgive that man lightly."

It turns out that this woman is none other than Piga Juci, the daughter of King Youxian of Beirong.
