"What do you think of our jerky beef?" Loulan's businessman opened his blue eyes and looked at the delicate young general in front of him with anticipation.
Huo Jingchen chewed the jerky bite carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It's delicious. We in Zhongyuan also have such jerky meat, but your jerky tastes very delicious. I wonder what spices are you using?"
"Cumin!" said the Loulan merchant without hesitation.
"Cumin?" Huo Jingchen felt a little curious. He had never heard of such a thing before. Whether it could be eaten was still a question. Why did it appear in his mouth naturally?
"Yes, that's cumin. We Loulan people have been unable to live without this cumin since we were young!" Loulan businessman Akiri smiled and said, "We are not as good as your vast land in the Central Plains. They are all yellow sand today and desert tomorrow.
There are not so many things to pay attention to, so I can only barbecue and sprinkle some ingredients.”
Jiang Xiaojiu thought she was the God of Food today, and she had never eaten such a taste. She immediately put down the beef jerky and asked, "Then, can you tell me what kind of thing this spice is made of?"
Akiri shook his head helplessly: "There's no way, sister, this should be a material, called cumin. The way this material is made is very mysterious. Even we in Loulan can only make it. They have never been
The recipes are not disclosed."
Jiang Xiaojiu laughed and said, "It turns out that people in Loulan also like to play with secret recipes? So is this thing very expensive?"
"That's natural, this is equivalent to gold. When we buy at the market, we basically put gold on the balance, and put cumin on the same side."
"What? This thing is equivalent to gold?" Jiang Hexi couldn't believe her ears. She was so scared that she almost dried the beef in her hand to the ground.
"It's not as exaggerated as you said!" Archimi smiled and said, "This thing is very expensive by weight, but it's not that heavy. It seems that the cumin on it is less than one or two copper plates."
Jiang Hexi put down the jerky beef, shrugged, and smiled and said, "It's good, it's good, otherwise I wouldn't be willing to eat such expensive things."
As he said that, he started eating with the people next to him.
After three rounds of wine, Jiang Xiaojiu suddenly asked Archimi: "Boss, since your cumin is so delicious, can you sell it to us at a higher price? I'll give you twice the price!" As she said that, she said
He raised two fingers and looked at Archimi with anticipation.
"No, no!" Archimi shook his head with a smile: "I really don't need this. Just give me a little five times the price. It's too expensive, I'm sorry!"
It turns out that a large part of the reason why Loulan merchants were able to make a fortune in the Western Regions was due to their business creed since ancient times, that a goods may be transferred to many people's hands, and people with each hand must make a profit, but they cannot
More than half.
Even when people from the Western Regions rushed to buy, no one had raised prices.
It turns out that this is the power of role models! Jiang Hexi looked at this Archimi and felt a sense of admiration.
Before he finished speaking, Archimi brought half a tael of cumin and handed it to Jiang Xiaojiu: "Since you are so interested in our cumin, I will give this to you!"
Jiang Xiaojiu felt embarrassed to look at Archimi, took off a ring in his hand, and handed it to him.
Jiang Hexi saw that it was already late, so he stood up and said to Archimi, "Boss, it's late, let's go back to the house to rest first, we will have a date later."
As he said that, he opened his door next to him.
"Oh!" Archimi suddenly screamed, which made Jiang Hexi think that something had fallen or even something was wrong, which surprised him so much.
"It turns out that we are neighbors. It's so funny!" Archimi said in Chinese that he was not very familiar with.
Jiang Hexi nodded and said, "Yes, I'll let my brother come in two days. If you talk about the ward, he will never let you down."
Archimi wanted to say something, but thinking that the day was long and it was really late, he had to give up, look back at his room, and go in.
Jiang Xiaojiu took half a liang of cumin powder and seemed to have gotten something. She put it in her nose and smelled it. Then she remembered the taste of the meat she had eaten on weekdays. It seemed that she had already conceived the dishes after adding cumin in her heart.
But after all, this is still an inn, and the inn is a public place. It is not as easy to cook or cook at home.
Besides, the people in this place were coming and going, so she couldn't calm down and make the dishes she wanted to cook, so she had to give up.
Jiang Hexi felt very excited when he thought of the arrangements the prime minister gave him today. He felt very excited and felt that he would soon become Huo Jingchen's bride.
At that time, I was the wife of the legitimate general.
But, are you ready to be this wife? After wandering for so long, the dust finally settled. I don’t know where the soul on my body is now, and will it exchange my original body with me?
?
As she thought about it, she felt dark before her eyes and wanted to go to bed.
Especially last night, I just experienced an inexplicable fire, and the murderer's affairs are no longer important. The key is that I can still run out and the room can be rebuilt.
She thought that when she first arrived at the inn, Huo Jingchen had no title yet, and the stationmaster and others of the inn were still looking down on the people and did not arrange a room for him.
However, there is an exclusive room now.
Jiang Hexi looked at the fresh scene outside and felt like she was back in the carefree days of Qinghe Village at that time.
However, now even the patriarch has left Qinghe Village and moved to the capital. That place has become a distant memory for me. I don’t know if my old house is still there. If it were still there, what would be like.
A scene?
Before I knew it, I fell asleep in the inn. Although the room at the inn was luxurious, the beds were very small, probably for the convenience of pedestrians, and many people who traveled far away couldn't sleep well when they came here.
She felt as if she had fallen from a high place. She opened her eyes and realized in the moonlight that she had accidentally turned over and fell to the ground again.
It seems that I am still very destined to sleep with this person.
