Chapter 843 Tea leaves for horses
?Gu Fei smiled and pointed to the big sack, "There is salt in it."
Pointing to the small bag, "This is tea leaves."
??Kurban looked at the sack and was stunned for a moment, "So many?"
?Gu Fei smiled and nodded, "If it''s not enough, I''ll send you some more in a few days."
??Kurban nodded repeatedly, "That''s enough, that''s enough."
He hesitated and said: "If the goddess needs sheep, we can exchange the sheep for salt and tea."
? Gu Fei thought for a while, it was very inconvenient for these herdsmen to exchange materials in such a remote place, so please help if you can.
She nodded slightly and said, "Is this okay? I will try to come here once a year to bring you tea and salt. If you need anything else, you can tell me."
?Kurban knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to Gu Fei again, "Thank you to the goddess."
?Gu Fei stood up and said, "It''s almost time, let''s go."
?Kurban exchanged a few words with the old woman before leaving with Gu Fei.
As soon as Aheqi got off his horse, he suddenly saw Gu Fei and Kulban appearing next to him.
?Obviously he looked back many times along the way, but he didn''t see them following.
?Now that she appeared beside him out of thin air, he finally believed Kurban''s words, she was the goddess.
?Only the goddess can make his horse disappear, only the goddess can come and go without a trace.
He saluted Gu Fei respectfully, then said a few words to Kurban, and then went to the yurt.
? Gu Fei looked at the yurt. The yurt was round in shape and surrounded by white felt.
The two of them waited for a long time before Aheqi came out and called them in.
?The first thing Gu Fei felt when he entered was that the space inside this yurt was really big.
?The entire yurt is a huge circle with a high dome and a thick wool carpet on the floor.
There were quite a few people inside, including men, women, old and young, and all of them looked at Gu Fei curiously.
There was a man with a majestic look sitting on the carpet at the end.
?Gu Fei knew in her heart that this must be He Zhuo, so she bowed her hands.
?Kurban explained to the man that this is the etiquette of the Central Plains and is a sign of respect for you.
He Zhuo nodded slightly, asked a few questions in a friendly manner, and made a gesture of invitation.
The two sat down on the ground, and Kurban translated: "He Zhuo asks you, how many horses do you need?"
?Gu Fei stretched out **** and said, "I need 20,000, do you have it?"
Kurban said, and He Zhuo shook his head, "You tell her, at most ten thousand horses."
??Gu Fei nodded and said to Kurban: "Ten thousand is ten thousand, but horses are graded, and tea is also graded. Ask him how to change it?"
He Zhuo waved to a man and said a few words to her. The man quickly brought a notebook, looked through it for a while and said, "It''s the same as in previous years. Two hundred and fifty pounds of tea leaves can be exchanged for a fine horse. Two hundred and twenty pounds of tea." Ten pounds is exchanged for a middle-class horse, and two hundred pounds is exchanged for a low-grade horse.”
Kurban translated, and Gu Fei nodded slightly, "Can I see your tea leaves?"
He Zhuo ordered someone to bring some tea. There are several kinds of tea. There are tea bricks. It should be Pu''er produced in southern Xinjiang. This is suitable for making milk tea. There are also loose tea. Loose tea is ordinary green tea. Several counties in the south of the Yangtze River are Produces green tea.
? Gu Fei smelled the green tea, looked at the quality, and nodded. This was not good tea. It was probably old tea, not as good as the ordinary tea she bought in the grocery store.
The ordinary tea she bought costs 300 Wen per pound, and the purchase price must be cheaper, estimated to be around 200 Wen.
?Then it only costs about fifty taels of silver to replace a high-grade horse.
