Chapter 422 Take me away(1/5)
The products at Erken Market are indeed rich.
Li Xuewu held Xilin's shoulders and walked from tent to tent, buying a lot of things that seemed useless and expensive in Xilin.
"Is this Snow Lotus?"
"Yes, it's from the mountain."
Among the merchants selling medicinal materials, Li Xuewu rarely showed professionalism.
It is not in vain that Li Shun discounted some sticks when Li Xuewu was a child so that he could find good things here.
Gently picking up one, Li Xuewu looked at it carefully.
Snow lotus petals are dry and yellow on the outside, and the stamens are green.
There are some bluish-gray velvety fibers on the sides of the stamens, as if they are moldy.
The medicine merchant was also a bearded man, but his attitude was much better than that of the previous animal seller.
At this time, due to some reasons, some people were not friendly to Li Xuewu and the others.
The medicinal material merchant did not show much enthusiasm towards Li Xuewu, but he did not write his rejection on his face.
Seeing that Li Xuewu was familiar with medicinal materials, he did not strike up a conversation for the purpose of selling.
Li Xuewu didn't care. After watching Snow Lotus, he looked at Deer Antler again.
Most of the deer antlers at home were sent from Ji Province by my second uncle.
For the convenience of transportation, my second uncle would cut it into pieces there, and then my mother and the old lady would make it into slices when I got home.
What Li Xuewu is holding now is a whole one, and there is even a pair of horns on the blanket.
Seeing that Li Xuewu was looking carefully, the bearded man picked up the deer whip and tendon on the other side and placed them in front of Li Xuewu.
"nice one"
Li Xuewu raised his head, glanced at the bearded man, and praised him.
The bearded man shook his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't.
Li Xuewu ignored him, and then looked at the dried deer braids and tendons. They should all come from a set, mostly from sika deer or red deer.
"Are you from the mainland to collect medicinal materials?"
Seeing Li Xuewu looking at each one, the bearded man couldn't help but ask.
Li Xuewu raised his head with the wild watermelon in his hand, smiled, and replied: "Not really."
As he spoke, he put down the things in his hands, stood up and said to the bearded man: "I am a grain merchant. I have transported a lot of grain and I want to get some meat back."
The bearded man was very surprised when he heard Li Xuewu's answer.
"hehe"
Li Xuewu glanced around with fondness and said with a smile: "But my ancestor is a Chinese medicine practitioner, and it has been passed down to my father for the seventh generation."
The bearded man finally cleared up his doubts, nodded slightly and said, "You are different from ordinary people from the mainland."
"Maybe it's because he looks unfriendly, haha."
Li Xuewu made a joke and said: "Unfortunately, I did not inherit my father's medical skills. Fortunately, my third brother inherited the ancestral business."
The bearded man narrowed his eyes when he heard Li Xuewu's honest words and said, "You have a compassionate heart."
"Hahaha!"
This was the first word of praise that Li Xuewu heard today. The few bastards who were enjoying themselves at the Azai caravan didn't even say a word of mercy to him before entering the tent.
Xilin, who was standing aside, rolled her eyes and turned her head away from looking at this arrogant guy.
"Thank you, you also have a kind heart"
Li Xuewu politely put his right palm on his left chest, leaned forward, and said: "Islam Elaikon!"
"oh!"
The bearded man was very surprised and returned Li Xuewu's gift, and also said: "May the Lord give you peace!"
Xilin finally understood what this person meant by teaching him how to say hello. Seeing how the exchanges between the two became more and more heated, she knew that he was not a lunatic at all.
Anyone who thinks he is crazy is a fool.
"I would like to ask, is this tent your own?"
"Yes"
The bearded man had already invited Li Xuewu to sit on a low stool nearby and made tea for him.
The tea here is different from that in the capital, and the quality is much lower, but Li Xuewu still smiled and drank from the bowl while chatting.
Big Beard introduced his medicinal materials business. This market belongs to his tent. There are many types of medicinal materials, with good quality and long-term business.
Li Xuewu also nodded in praise at the right time, and talked about being kind and making money, and treating illnesses and saving lives.
Perhaps because she was tired from standing, or perhaps because she saw the two people chatting, Xilin walked over to Li Xuewu and sat down next to him.
Li Xuewu turned to look at her, then smiled at the bearded man and said, "I would like to invite you to a gathering in Wucheng on March 4th."
The bearded man blinked and looked at Li Xuewu in confusion.
Given their current position, this person would not be unaware of the nature of their business.
"I have invited many merchants in the market. My food will be delivered before March 4th. Then I want to make a deal with everyone."
"Are you going to exchange grain for my medicinal materials?"
The bearded man understood the meaning of Li Xuewu's words and frowned.
Medicinal materials are no better than others, so a small snow lotus does not take up much space, but its value is hundreds of times that of food.
If you go to Wucheng to trade, Big Beard doesn't know if it is necessary.
Li Xuewu casually grabbed a small handful of wolfberry seeds beside him, picked up one and put it in his mouth.
"I want a lot of medicinal materials, and there is not only food in my warehouse."
Li Xuewu looked at the bearded man very seriously and said: "In addition to food, I also have medicinal materials for cold diseases that are urgently needed here, but my time is limited. I can't trade with you with such a small inventory."
.
As he spoke, he threw the remaining wolfberries back into the bag and asked, "You won't accept this deal, right?"
"How come?"
The bearded man shook his head and said: "Now food and typhoid medicine here are hard currency. You don't have to take medicine if you are sick, but you have to eat. Even sick animals have to survive this winter."
Li Xuewu nodded and said: "I know your concerns, so please go to Wucheng, and I will prepare a warehouse for you in Hami."
Under the serious gaze of the bearded man, Li Xuewu explained the business and transaction methods he wanted to do.
This was the first time he had encountered this kind of telephone transaction between two places. Both in terms of security and execution, it was much more convenient than what they were doing now.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The key is that this kind of large-scale transaction will not happen once in many years, and no one will come here to exchange grain and medicinal materials that can be paid at a premium.
The transportation difficulties caused by the current snowstorm are a disaster for most people, but for some businessmen, it is an opportunity.
Why merchants were ranked last among scholars, farmers, industry and merchants in ancient times was because of this "cold-blooded" transaction.
But without these businessmen, some people may not even have a last resort.
But these people are not grateful to businessmen, and businessmen do not need to be grateful.
This kind of despair and resentment makes all businessmen have a pen hanging over their heads, even if they have done a lot of good things.
"What do you want and how much do you want?"
The bearded man thought for a while and finally asked this question.
He could no more refuse the man's offer than he could refuse the money.
"Medicals, medicinal materials unique to the frontier, as many as you need."
Li Xuewu took a sip of tea from a large bowl and continued: "Please believe in my ability. As long as the quality is the same as the one in your tent, I want it."
The bearded man shook his lips and asked, "How do I find you?"
"Hehehe"
Li Xuewu smiled and patted Xilin who was sitting next to him, and said: "How big can Wucheng be? With so much food getting out of the car, you won't know where the owner of the food is."
The bearded man nodded and looked at Xilin beside Li Xuewu. He knew that this was Azay's girl.
After the conversation, Li Xuewu stood up and helped Xilin stand up as well.
"Many people in this market have received my invitation. You can come together, or you can go to me alone."
After being sent out by the big beard, Li Xuewu stood at the door of the tent, stretched out his hand and shook the big beard, and said: "There are some bad people in every land and at all times."
The bearded man nodded, shook Li Xuewu's hand vigorously, and said, "You are right."
"Haha, let's meet in Wucheng"
Li Xuewu waved his hand, hugged Xilin and walked forward.
To be continued...
