Although there are often foreign guests in Vanilla Village, this is the first time for barbarians to appear, arousing everyone's curiosity.
"I wonder what kind of deal Mr. Lu Hong wants to make?"
Huang Feng asked.
Lu Hong did not answer, but stood up and came to the window and said to Li Xuan outside: "There is a bag on the donkey. Please bring it to the house."
Li Xuan was also curious about the barbarians. When he heard what he said, he found a leather bag on the back of the donkey. It seemed to contain a large round object, but the weight was not too heavy. He didn't know what it was.
Li Xuan moved the leather bag into the house, and Lu Hong kept saying: "Be gentle, be gentle, be careful not to break it."
The leather bag was placed on the table, and everyone watched curiously as Lu Hong opened the mouth of the bag.
The leather bag was removed, revealing a round bottle.
"This is..." Li Xuan's eyes lit up when he saw the beautiful blue patterns outlined on the white glaze of the bottle.
He has seen such things on earth. This is called porcelain, and it is a very exquisite vessel.
The craftsmanship of the porcelain in front of him even exceeded what he had seen and heard. The delicate textures and beautiful patterns all showed great value.
"What a beautiful bottle."
Huang Feng had a good eye for discerning goods and said with praise.
Li Yong and Zhao Dazhuang were even dumbfounded and murmured in a low voice: How could there be such beautiful bottles in the world? Wouldn't it be a pity if they were used to hold pickles?
"This is blue and white porcelain."
Seeing the admiration and admiration of everyone, Lu Hong proudly introduced, "It's my latest invention."
"Blue and white porcelain?
What a good name."
Li Xuan was very happy. This is the same name as the porcelain on earth. It seems that craftsmen all over the universe have similar aesthetics and tastes.
"This blue and white porcelain vase is worth a hundred gold ingots."
Xue Qiang said proudly from the side.
"One hundred gold ingots!"
Huang Feng, Li Yong and Zhao Dazhuang opened their mouths wide and were stunned.
One hundred gold ingots is equivalent to 10,000 silver ingots. The entire Vanilla Village would have to save up for three or four years without eating or drinking, working day and night to collect herbs.
And this bottle is worth one hundred gold ingots, which is really amazing.
"Such a precious thing..." Huang Feng originally wanted to touch the beautiful white glaze, but when he heard the full price, he immediately retracted his hand, for fear that he would damage the blue and white porcelain and even sell the village and not be able to afford the compensation.
He calmed down and asked Lu Hong: "Mr. Lu Hong, this is indeed a good thing, but does it have anything to do with our business?
We can't afford such expensive items."
"Who plans to sell it to you?"
Xue Qiang sneered, "You country bumpkins can do just fine with earthenware pots. Do you still dream of using blue and white porcelain?"
This is something only a great master can use."
Huang Feng responded repeatedly, but Li Xuan felt very unhappy and thought to himself: "What's wrong with the country bumpkin? I'm a country bumpkin. If you piss me off, I'll stuff your head into blue and white porcelain."
"Then what exactly is going to happen?"
Huang Feng was still puzzled.
"Have you seen these blue patterns on the porcelain bottle?"
Lu Hong pointed to the beautiful patterns on the blue and white porcelain vase and asked Huang Feng.
"Saw."
Huang Feng nodded repeatedly.
"Don't you think the colors of these patterns are familiar to you?"
Lu Hong asked.
Huang Feng leaned his head over and carefully examined the color of the pattern. He asked Li Yong and Zhao Dazhuang to take a look. The three of them looked at it. Li Yong hesitated and said, "Why does it look like the color of Blue Star Grass juice?"
Lu Hong nodded with satisfaction and said: "You are right, the colors of these patterns are extracted from the juice of Blue Star Grass.
I am here to buy some blue star grass from you."
Xue Qiang added: "The barbarians rarely produce blue star grass, and the quality is average.
He heard that the Yuelong Mountains produced the best blue star grass, so he came here because of its reputation.
I knew that your village made a living by collecting herbs, so I brought him here."
"It turns out I wanted to buy blue star grass."
Huang Feng smiled, "We don't have anything else here, except herbs.
However, blue star grass grows in extremely cold mountains, so it is very inconvenient to pick it.”
"It doesn't matter, I will give you a very generous reward."
Lu Hong said, "As long as you can get a thousand Blue Star Grass plants within ten days, I am willing to pay you fifty gold ingots."
"Fifty gold ingots!"
Huang Feng's chin almost fell on his feet. Li Yong and Zhao Dazhuang's eyes widened, and their eyeballs almost burst out of their sockets.
"What, is it too little?"
Lu Hong frowned.
"No no!"
Huang Feng waved his hands repeatedly, "We have accepted this deal, and we will have a thousand Blue Star Grass plants ready within ten days."
He thought to himself: My God, fifty gold ingots, this is a big deal. Even if I have to climb Zhuma Peak to pick it, I will fight for it! When sending Lu Hong away, Li Xuan saw Xue
Qiang whispered something to Huang Feng, and then walked away proudly.
He knew in his heart that of course the butler would not go in vain, and he might ask for a serious kickback.
Sure enough, Huang Feng sighed when he got home and said, "Butler Xue Qiang said that out of these fifty gold ingots, the Xue family will charge twenty gold ingots in taxes..." "So high!"
Li Yong and Zhao Dazhuang clucked their tongues, "They are simply more evil than bandits."
"He himself wants a kickback of ten gold ingots."
Huang Feng added, "In this case, we only have twenty gold ingots left."
"Why give him a kickback!"
Zhao Dazhuang said angrily.
Huang Feng shook his head: "He threatened to take Lu Hong to another village if the kickback was not given.
Besides, we can’t offend him, he is a popular figure around the big family, if we start a fight with Xue Dahu, our life will be difficult.”
Li Yong and Zhao Dazhuang looked at each other and knew that they were unable to change, so they could only acquiesce to this exploitation.
"Fortunately, we still have twenty gold ingots left, which is enough for the village to live a good life for a while."
Huang Feng became excited again, "This is a big deal. All the strong laborers in the village must participate. We will set out early tomorrow morning to pick blue star grass."
There are fifteen people in the Herb Collection Team in Herb Village, and the youngest among them is Li Xuan.
Although he is young, Li Xuan is already well-known in the village. His ability in identifying medicinal herbs is unparalleled. Even Huang Feng, who calls himself an alchemist, occasionally asks him for advice.
Wearing a cold-resistant leather jacket and leather boots, a leather hat, a sharp dagger on your waist, a medicine basket on your back and a steel fork, you have a complete set of medicine collection equipment.
With the hope of the villagers, the herb collection team advanced all the way to the depths of the Yuelong Mountains, climbed three mountains in a row, and finally climbed to a snow-capped mountain four thousand meters above sea level.
Standing on the snow-capped mountains and looking at the Zhuma Peak in the distance, it is like a towering sword piercing the sky.
This is not the first time for Li Xuan to climb such a high snow-capped mountain, but he has never climbed Zhuma Peak.
For some reason, he always felt that there was some voice calling him on the top of the mountains.
"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to go to the top of Zhuma Peak to have a look."
