Chapter 3441 Extra Story 21

Bai Shan said with a smile: "The first time I took this commercial route in southern Xinjiang was also because of His Majesty's great grace. I heard that the imperial court sent a large number of new rice seeds to the Liaozi Department. The climate here is suitable for growing rice. Rice seeds, it will definitely save a lot of fields, and it will be very good for planting mulberry and tea at that time, we just come and have a look in advance, maybe we can find a cooperative tribe."

The shopkeeper's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "Is the guest officer in the cloth business or the tea business?"

Bai Shan smiled and said, "Both are slightly involved."

No wonder they are both excellent.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "You have a good eye, our Liaozi Department has produced a lot of grain in the past two years, and there is indeed a lot of land left, but the production of fabrics requires craftsmanship, so there are fewer mulberry and silkworms, but more tea."

He said with a smile: "Our soil is good and the tea is delicious. Would you like to try our tea?"

Bai Shan responded with a smile.

The shopkeeper immediately asked the buddy to bring some of each kind of tea from the restaurant.

There are so many types of tea that the entire table is directly covered. I heard that the tea produced by each tribe is slightly different, not to mention the quality of tea of ​​the same variety.

Zhou Man and the others stared blankly, "Shopkeeper, is this a restaurant or a teahouse?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "It's just doing some small business in spare time to earn some money for drinks, and it makes the nobles laugh."

With such a complete range of tea and the enthusiasm of the other party, it is no wonder that everyone believes that he is an amateur.

Zhou Man was about to speak when he glanced at the stall owner carrying a bag into the restaurant downstairs, raised his eyebrows slightly, then switched to the window on the other side, and sure enough saw a person coming in downstairs.

But the other party didn't stay downstairs, but was led to the second floor by the staff who knew the way.

Zhou Man pointed at him and the shopkeeper and smiled, "Shopkeeper, your distinguished guest has arrived."

The shopkeeper looked in the direction she was pointing at, and when he saw the stall owner, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you recognize Wu Jin?"

Bai Shan sat up slightly, "Wu? Is it Wu or Wu?"

The shopkeeper smiled when he heard the words, and knew that they were not familiar. "It's a witch. Wu Jin is a witch from the Yunshan tribe. He is very powerful. The Yunshan tribe is only a middle-level tribe, but his witchcraft can be equal to the witches from the big tribes."

Zhou Man was curious, "Witchcraft... how does it compare?"

The shopkeeper: "Only the witch can know."

Bai Shan asked: "Do wizards often come to Annan City?"

"I don't come here often," the shopkeeper paused. He wanted to win their business, so he lowered his voice and said, "But recently, famous wizards may all come to Annan City."

Bai Shan: "Why?"

The shopkeeper whispered: "The chief's wife is ill and has been dying for a long time, so the chief has invited many witches, and there are still some who have not been invited. When they hear that his wife is sick, they will come to have a look. In case they can pray for her, That’s something to be proud of.”

Zhou Man asked curiously, "What is the disease?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, "I don't know, this is the chief's family business, how can common people like us know?"

Bai Shan and Zhou Man looked at each other and smiled, and they were just trying to deceive others. Who would believe that he was an ordinary commoner who could open such a good restaurant on this street and attract tea business?

But Bai Shan didn't ask any more, knowing that these were enough, if they asked again, they would lose their foundation.

A group of people tasted the tea brought by the shopkeeper, and selected three types of tea that tasted good, but they did not make a decision with the shopkeeper, Bai Shan excused to take another look and postponed the matter.

After they were full of wine and food, the group of people walked out of the restaurant slowly, Yin Ru turned to ask Bai Shan, "Are you really planning to start a tea business?"

Bai Shandao: "It's not easy to go in and out of southern Xinjiang. We brought quite a few people with us. It's not a bad idea to bring some tea when we go back."

"Furthermore, Brother Zhou's tea business is doing a lot now, so he might be interested. Let's take some tea out for him to taste, and also see the reaction in the market." Bai Shanxiao asked, "Why, is it troublesome?"

Yin or shook his head, "No, it's just been away for a long time, and it's the first time I see you are interested in bringing goods."

Bai Shan and Zhou Man sighed, "Because our money is spent a little too quickly."

Yin He: "...are you short of money?"

He had a look of disbelief, but he still said: "If you need money, I have it here, and I will give you some."

"That's not necessary," Bai Shan quickly refused, "For us, making money is just a matter of passing along, and it's not troublesome, so why do we need your money?"

Zhou Man: "Yes, yes, my brother is still clear about it, so don't give money to others indiscriminately in the future."

Bai Er on the side said: "The only 'others' he can give money to are me, besides you. Why don't you ask my opinion?"

Bai Shan glanced at him, "Do you have an opinion?"

"That's not true. Isn't the family's property always making money? I don't want to go to the effort," Bai Erlang turned his head and said to Zhou Man: "Besides, it's not easy for you to make money. There are ready-made money-making opportunities in front of you. Go and Take a walk around the chief’s house and heal his wife’s illness. He will definitely give you a consultation fee. It’s not as good as the money we can earn after inspecting, buying, and transporting, and finally selling it. ?”

In fact, Zhou Man also wanted to go, not for making money, but because he was curious about what illness the chief's wife had and how the wizards would treat it?

Bai Shan saw her movement, and asked with a smile, "Want to go?"

Zhou Man nodded, then shook his head again, "I don't know what kind of man this chief is. This is Southern Xinjiang. If he can't cure him, he will take his anger out on us..."

"Don't worry," Bai Shan said, "If it's a big deal, we'll show our identities. Does he still dare to detain us to embarrass us?"

Zhou Man thought about it, nodded and said: "Okay, it's late today, let's go and have a look tomorrow."

She turned her head and said to Yin or the three of them: "You guys are waiting for us outside, you can go shopping around."

Yin Ju thought for a while and said: "I'm a little tired, I will rest at the inn tomorrow."

Ming Da said, "I still want to go to the bazaar I went to today, and have a look at their porcelain and fabrics."

So we all set our itinerary for tomorrow.

Zhou Man: "Do you think I should send a greeting card to the Chief's Mansion in advance?"

"No need, you didn't reveal your identity. You are the former doctor of the No. 1 Middle School. It's no wonder people would accept your post." Bai Erlang gave her a bad idea, "Go directly to the door and recite a passage of "Plain Questions" for him. It should lead you in."

Bai Shan: "Shouldn't the top priority be to choose a good name for yourself?"

He said: "Your name is famous all over the world. Even though this is remote southern Xinjiang, I paid attention to it when I was in the restaurant just now. People in the lobby occasionally mentioned your name when they mentioned the Central Plains. Obviously you are also very famous here. .”

Zhou Man's focus was, "Can you understand the dialect here?"

Bai Shan: "...they speak official language."
