Today, it’s snowing more in Chang’an, as if it’s a sign of a new year.
Tang Sufan brought the Xiong brothers and his young apprentice Li Chongyi from the East Market to the West Market in the morning.
The purpose of today is not only to talk to some suppliers of raw materials for brewing, but also to search around to see if there are any weird seeds, plants or the like.
After all, although the West Market is not more prestigious than the East Market, it does have a lot of all kinds of things...
Tang Sufan was dressed in a snow-white robe and brocade-patterned fur coat. He did not wear a scarf. Two strands of long hair flowed down from both sides. He had a high head and wolf tail hair. He was as handsome as jade, and he was more tough and perseverant.
If you didn't know about this appearance, you would really think that some top nobleman had gone out.
Along the way, Tang Sufan, who had many changes from the ordinary Tang Dynasty clothes, also attracted the attention of passers-by.
Li Chongyi couldn't help but look at Tang Sufan with admiration.
When can I be as coquettish as the teacher?
Tang Sufan flipped up his fur coat calmly and modestly, his face was as beautiful as a tree in the wind, but he thought coquettishly in his heart, "It's really tiring to lead fashion trends and become an idol..."
"Teacher, your appearance makes many little girls look sideways for a long time..."
Li Chongyi smacked his lips and looked at the nymphomaniac eyes on Tang Sufan among the girls in the crowd on both sides, and couldn't help but say with extreme envy.
Tang Sufan raised his head slightly, waved his hand, and said pretending to be sad.
"Oh, Chongyi, you can't be so superficial as a person. Although you are not as handsome as me, you have to look beyond the phenomena to see the essence. It seems that I am very handsome, but in fact, I always attract everyone's attention. As a handsome guy, I am also very tired. ~"
Li Chongyi was speechless...
The Tang Dynasty has been founded for nearly ten years, and foreign trade has been very developed. In this West Market, people of all races can see it. As long as you have a sharp eye and are not afraid of being cheated, you can buy almost all kinds of specialty products from the entire Eurasian continent.
No, the four of them found another good thing from the enthusiastic Hu Ji on the roadside...
It's actually wine.
"Objective, would you like to try the wine we brought from the Western Regions?"
The Hu Ji woman twisted her waist and sold her products tenderly and quickly.
Tang Sufan raised his eyebrows and looked over immediately.
Although the wine at this time can only be regarded as fermented grape juice, it is far less classified than dry red, rosé, dry white, sparkling wine, etc. in later generations.
But as an old businessman in his previous life, he still prefers wine in business activities.
The alcohol content is low, so you won’t get drunk quickly after drinking it, and you can still talk about things calmly.
Although our country’s liquor is also outstanding, even if you drink it, you won’t be hit by an atomic bomb.
However, if the alcohol content is high, it will inevitably be unfriendly to some people who are not very good drinkers.
Take a sip, sweet and sour.
Although it is not as pure as the wine of later generations, it is sour, sweet and has a unique flavor. It is rare to find a drink that is drinkable in the Tang Dynasty.
With a wave of his hand, he dropped his usual money without hesitation and bought two big pots.
I’m going to take it back to study it, and if I have nothing to do, I can change the taste and have a drink.
I have to say that Tang Sufan's sexy outfit today is really quite intimidating.
At least Xiong Daxiong Er, who was following Tang Sufan at this moment, was somewhat majestic.
Hu Ji decided that Tang Sufan was a rare big customer, and quickly started to sell him with sweet words~
Tang Sufan went straight into the store and browsed around. The various things were novel, but there was nothing he liked.
I couldn't help but feel disappointed at the moment. It was almost noon, and I didn't expect to get anything good.
Tang Sufan was a little puzzled, how come the things mentioned in the story that no one else knew, and then the protagonist missed things, didn't happen to him.
People all get potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn to make great achievements, but why can’t they see even a peel when they come here~
Just when Tang Sufan was disappointed and about to turn around and leave, he glanced at a small pile of white melon seeds in a nest in the corner.
Tang Sufan raised his eyebrows, walked over in three steps and then asked.
"What's this?"
Hu Ji replied: "Dear guest, this is just a snack from our hometown, but many people like it, so I leave it here."
Tang Sufan's eyes lit up when he got closer to see clearly. He reached out and grabbed a few of them and took a closer look.
But then he was disappointed and gave up.
Li Chongyi asked doubtfully: "Teacher, what's so special about this?"
Tang Sufan shook his head: "Oh, it's nothing, I just thought it was a special kind of seed..."
These are all fried and processed, so there is no use buying them back.
Tang Sufan thought for a while, then frowned and turned his head and asked: "Is there such a thing alive? If so, I bought it at a high price~"
Because what Tang Sufan discovered was the skin of pumpkin seeds!
For Tang Sufan, who was half a rural person in his previous life, pumpkin seeds are very familiar.
During the New Year and festivals in the village, it is inevitable to see this thing like him.
Although in later generations, pumpkins could be easily bought on the streets and were extremely cheap, but now, it would not be an exaggeration to call them fairy food.
You need to know the yield of pumpkins. One acre of land starts with one or two thousand kilograms. If you go to the south with a good climate, it is not a problem to produce three to four thousand kilograms!
For this kind of crop that is both vegetable and food, as long as it is planted on a large area, famines and the like can basically disappear.
When Hu Ji heard about it, she quickly ran to find her manager.
As soon as the steward came over, he frowned.
"Guest, these Japanese melon seeds... don't seem to be raw at all. They are just brought from our hometown. They have been burned over fire since they have traveled a long distance."
"That's it..."
Tang Sufan's excitement slowly cooled down, and it seemed that he wanted to eat shit.
After thinking for a while, he then said: "If you go back in the future, see if you can bring me some raw food. Don't worry about the price! I'll charge a high price for whatever you bring!"
The two negotiated a price, and Manager Hu Shang smiled and nodded.
These are just some Japanese melon seeds that are common in my hometown. It is naturally good to bring them to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty to make so much money.
"By the way, Xiaosan seems to have brought some here... His mother asked him to bring it with him..."
Hu Ji seemed to have thought of it all of a sudden, clapped her hands, and spoke to the steward in not quite authentic Tang dialect.
The steward quickly called for the person named Xiao San. Not long after, Hu Ji went to bring a thin young man.
The young man brought a small bag, glanced at the steward, and had to hand the bag directly to Tang Sufan.
Tang Sufan held his breath and shouted in his heart for the blessing of Bodhisattva.
Then he gritted his teeth and opened the bag, followed by bursts of unstoppable ecstasy.
It has not been fried, but it can still be grown!
It also has some moist moisture and looks quite energetic!
Haha, I really found a treasure!
Without saying a word, Tang Sufan took off the money bag placed on Xiong Da's body and poured out all the money inside.
"Come on, this money is what I paid for this kind of thing..."
Hu Shang's eyes lit up and he quickly took the money with a smile on his face.
I didn’t expect that I really met someone who took advantage of me. A few Japanese melon seeds can buy so much money!
By the way, he also gave the young man from the Western Region a few dozen coins as a reward. He knew that his mother asked him to take it with him for homesickness, and now he sold it.
You should be given some reward money.
