Chapter Thirty-Six

trade

After entering the inn, Ji Si casually said to the waiter in the inn: "Xiaoer, Tianzifang, bring some signature dishes."

Wearing a short jacket and a tiger skirt, Xiao Er stupidly handed over the house card, watching Ji Si lose her soul, and when she went upstairs, the shopkeeper slapped her on the head before regaining consciousness.

"The treasurer..."

The shopkeeper yelled: "What are you doing in a daze! The back kitchen is going to get the food!" In a blink of an eye, he had a playful smile, and said to Jin Xiu and others who came in behind, "Please, sir, we are a Han Chinese inn, and the food must be to your liking, come and come, please, put this product in the backyard, and someone will guard it!"

A group of people settled in the inn, and the merchants were still wandering outside the door, wanting to see the horses that the horse merchants were carrying, and even more want to see the swaying woman.

"Let's go, let's go." The shopkeeper chased him away at the door, taking turns using Chinese, Hu and Yuan language to persuade him.

Those who have been doing business in the exchange market for a long time can speak some foreign languages mixedly, immediately hugged the shopkeeper, turned around and left, those who didn't want to leave, it was not easy to guard the door, and went into the inn to order a bottle of water and wine to eat,Looking at the closed houses upstairs, they argued fiercely.

Qin Jun was taking off her face, a small snow-white face gradually emerged, with long eyelashes flickering, "A lot of people were looking at you just now."

Ji Si bent her lips: "If the princess is not easy to face, everyone will not be a slave today."

Qin Jun: "How about complimenting me?"

Ji Si looked at Qin Jun's face at the moment, and pulled the corners of her lips: "Yes."

Qin Jun: "..."

Ji Si said softly, "Close your eyes."

Qin Jun closed her eyes, and Ji Si wiped off the "yellow skin" around her eyes with a hot handkerchief. After washing her face, Qin Jun's face was as white and tender as a peeled egg.Rubbing his cheeks, he nodded in satisfaction, "Okay."

"I'm hungry." Qin Jun opened his eyes and said.

Ji Si: "Here's the dish."

The Eternal Border is mostly dry and winter. It is difficult to grow vegetables here, and the vegetables are rare and precious. Therefore, the meals in the Eternal Border are mostly meat-based, and the people are also very sturdy.When Qin Jun came to the Eternal Border, she felt that the dwarves had entered the kingdom of adults, and the inconspicuous stature made people despise her even more.

Qin Jun picked up a few yellow leaves in the bowl and said with a smile, "If you bring two carts of vegetables, you will definitely be robbed when they go on the market, and you may be able to sell them at sky-high prices."

Ji Si didn't say a word, and picked out some vegetables for Qin Jun, picked up the withered yellow and rotten leaves, and served Qin Jun wholeheartedly.

"But there were no refrigerated trucks in ancient times, so it's hard to keep them." Qin Jun muttered secretly. Jin Xiu and Ji Si who were accompanying her were also used to listening to her occasional weird remarks, so just ignore them.call it a fool.

Qin Jun talked for a while, then looked at Ji Si: "You sit and eat."

Ji Si glanced at Qin Jun lightly, "Slaves are servants."

Qin Jun's appetite was poor, so she went to lie down on the couch to rest.Ji Si sat down at the table after waiting for her to fall asleep, and ate Qin Jun's leftovers in a perfunctory manner.

On the first day of arriving at Eternal Border, Jin Xiu went through the formalities and found a booth to report to Qin Jun.

"Have a quick break in winter, the good products on the market are gone."

Qin Jun said casually: "Then only gold and silver, leather goods and so on, pick and change. When you go to the market tomorrow and open the box, you will see the Buddha, and there will be big locals to barter."

Jin Xiu nodded, and went out to make arrangements. Qin Jun yawned and taught Ji Si how to keep accounts, "Come here, I'll teach you how to do arithmetic. You've heard the nine-nine multiplication table."

Ji Si raised her eyebrows: "No."

Qin Jun recited it casually, and Ji Si nodded, "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic."

"Yes! That's it. I don't have enough manpower, so I can't talk. You will keep the accounts tomorrow." Qin Jun nodded, thought for a while, and confessed to Ji Si.

The next day, Qin Jun disguised himself as a man, and took a group of "household servants" to the market with goods. Everything he saw was Eternal Border specialties.

The Uncle King informed Qin Jun of the prices he inquired about, "One catty of tea can be exchanged for one fox fur, half a catty of salt can be exchanged for two tiger skins, wine is stored in wine barrels, and one barrel is only exchanged for how much medicinal materials, young master, this is a huge profitwhat."

In addition to these, not to mention silk, fabrics, candles, paper and pens, goods that are in short supply at the Eternal Border, and dry goods such as mushrooms and sweet potatoes from farmers that Qin Jun bought all the way from Capital are also very popular.

But Eternal Border's tiger skins, deer and sheep, wolf heads, fox fur, wine, strange stones, and treasures, all of which are rare goods in the Central Plains, have become rotten goods in Eternal Border.It's still the end of winter, if it catches up with the start of the mutual market, there might still be bundles of ginseng for sale.

Qin Jun clicked her tongue when she heard this, and thought to herself what kind of princess should she be, and forget about doing business, "It's really huge profits, so aren't all the people doing business in Eternal Border rich and profiteers?"

Uncle King shook his head: "The imperial court almost removes 80% of the taxes, and the priority is only the equivalent gold and silver. If there is no gold and silver to pay taxes, 90% of the confiscated goods will be eaten. People from all over the world come here to do business, barter and return to the country to resell, if the price of such goods falls that year, there is no certainty whether it will make a profit or a loss."

Qin Jun narrowed her eyes and calculated, "Fortunately, we got the official documents early in the morning, so we should have less stuff."

When they arrived at the market, Qin Jun stood on the carriage and gesticulated. The Eternal Border businessmen were all men. Qin Jun, who was dressed in men's clothes, naturally regarded her as the owner of the house, and made gestures non-stop.

Qin Jun tugged at the corner of Ji Si's clothes. Ji Si nodded and said to everyone, "Give me gold and silver."

"Gold and silver?" The Hu people and the Han people spoke broken Chinese, gesturing while talking, "The gold and silver are gone, my lord, only some groceries are left."

Gold and silver are the currency in circulation, and few retail investors in the mutual market can take out gold and silver in large quantities for trading.

Qin Jun thought about it, in fact, foreign objects are also fine, even if the goods are dragged back to the Central Plains, they can also be exchanged for Qin Zhou's money, so she nodded to everyone.

The merchants began to grab the goods. For a while, the stalls were crowded, and they all crowded in Qin Jun's direction.

Qin Jun couldn't help but backed away from being squeezed, and couldn't speak, and could smell a little fur smell.

Ji Si said: "If you have horses, you can come and trade them."

Someone drove some donkeys over: "Sir, horses are supplied to the government every year. Do you want donkeys?"

"No cows and sheep! No donkeys!" Uncle King shouted, "Bring the goods, fox fur? Slow down! Don't grab it!"

While Ji Si wrote the documents, she protected Qin Jun. Jin Xiu stood aside with her sword in her arms, maintaining order with the soldiers sent by the government to prevent anyone from stealing the goods.

The market was full of men, smelly and noisy, "My lord!" A group of barbarians and people from the Western Regions rushed towards Qin Jun with random strokes, scrambling to signal Qin Jun to accept their goods, "My lord! My lord! Do you want a girl?", there is a good woman walking in there!"

"What?" Qin Jun whispered, covering her mouth with a fan, "Still selling people in the mutual market?"

Ji Si took the time to say, "Naturally."

The bazaar was chaotic and crowded, and the merchants were cunning, and many people brought half-filled fakes with good ones.

Qin Jun was dazzled, and in the end he could only point at someone, and Ji Si would accept his goods.

Uncle King received the goods from the side, reminded with sharp eyes: "Lady Pin, the fur goods in this household are all rotten."

"Really?" Ji Si crossed out the man's fur goods from the book without paying much attention, and said with an elegant smile, "Get lost."

peddler:"……"

Qin Jun: "..."

The hidden guards unloaded and received the goods, and they were very busy for a while. In less than two hours, the five carts of goods were emptied and filled again.

Everyone came out to do business for the first time, and they were exhausted. Song Wenzhou went to buy medicinal materials early in the morning, and there was not enough manpower, so Qin Jun only brought Ji Si to accompany him around.

At the end of winter, there are only some retail investors left in the depths of the mutual market, and they are lazy when they start their business.

Qin Jun couldn't understand a single word, so she went to various stalls to see if she could miss anything.

Qin Jun walked around for a long time, and found that most of the stalls were selling low-quality leather goods, or some rubble. Can diamonds or emeralds be produced?Qin Jun thought about it and walked to a man in a long robe.

Ji Si asked, exhaling white mist: "Han people?"

The stall owner was dozing off wearing a bodice and two pieces of sheepskin. Hearing this, he woke up leisurely, and looked at the masked Ji Sideng with his eyes wide open, as if he was in a daze.

"Knock, knock." Qin Jun knocked on the table with her fan displeased.

The Han stall owner lowered his eyes, glanced at Qin Jun, then stared back at Ji Si, and asked shyly, "What do you want, young master?"

Ji Si: "Just take a look."

Qin Jun was speechless, and casually flipped through the animal skins on the stall table. Seeing that the animal skins were not big but with crooked pictures and texts, she looked at the stall owner suspiciously.

Ji Si said coldly, "What is painted on it?"

The stall owner said perfunctorily, "Huh? It's a treasure map."

Qin Jun thought to herself, it must be a liar, but her body was still very honest, looking at the pile of goods.

"Look again, I dug your eyes." Ji Si said impatiently.

The stall owners around nodded and bowed, still staring at Ji Si.

From time to time, Qin Jun happily chose two pieces of animal skins and waved to Ji Si, who then asked the stall owner, "How much is it?"

The Han stall owner glanced at the animal skin in Qin Jun's hand, and said with a smile, "Two taels of silver."

Ji Si took out two copper coins from her body and threw them on the stall table. The copper coins bounced and hit the stall owner on the forehead, knocking him unconscious to the ground.

Qin Jun: "..."

Ji Si: "Master, let's go."

Qin Jun took the animal skin and walked and looked at it. When she came to another raw meat stall, she frowned and thought about it.With an ambiguous smile, he dug out a string of sheep whips from under the deer and sheep, threw them on the chopping board, and gestured towards Qin Jun.

Qin Jun: "?"

Qin Jun tugged at Ji Si's sleeve, indicating what is this?

Ji Si took a closer look, bent her lips, and lowered her head to Qin Jun's ear: "It's a sheep whip, a nourishing thing, do you want to buy it, young master?"

"..."

Qin Jun couldn't speak, so the corner of her mouth twitched and she shook her head at Ji Si.

Ji Si nodded, and said to the stall owner, "Weigh ten catties."

The barbarian stall owner was quick and quick, and immediately grabbed the sheep whip and was about to go on the scale. Qin Jun blushed and didn't dare to stay any longer, leaving Ji Si behind and ran to another house to look at the fox fur.

Ji Si smiled and followed Qin Jun in a good mood, "Master, wait for the slave."

Qin Jun turned her head and stared at her with bright eyes.

Ji Si smiled: "I'm wrong."

Qin Jun shrugged her nose. Ji Si liked to see her little expressions, but now her expression cracked slightly, she turned to look forward, and suddenly, her expression became cold, and she said, "Master, the human animal market is here."

Human sacrifice?Qin Jun looked confused, looked forward in a blink of an eye, and was shocked.
