"I wonder what shopkeeper Qian said was not for sale?" He Futai asked in a low voice after looking at each other with the other three.
"Look!" Qian Junnan took out a glass ball from his sleeve and placed it on the table. The moment they saw the glass ball, He Futai and the other three people suddenly looked surprised.
"May I ask Shopkeeper Qian, is this the 'glass ball' at the auction?" He Futai pointed to the glass ball on the table in surprise and trembling and asked in a low voice. As for reaching out to touch it, he didn't dare. He had heard about the price at the auction, so he didn't dare to touch the glass ball.
"That's right! It's exactly this!" Qian Junnan smiled and nodded, "I helped you to get this with great difficulty from my uncle! Of course, my uncle also said..." At this point, Qian Junnan lowered his voice even more and looked in the direction of the door.
Although several people wanted to hear what Qian Junnan said, they did not dare to rush Qian Junnan. They could only look at the "fat man" in front of them with longing eyes.
"Everyone must also know that my father-in-law actually likes to eat meat and is very proficient in cooking. All the dishes in Changyuan Building are made by my father-in-law!" Qian Junnan whispered directly to He Futai and others. said.
"Yes! Yes! We know about this!" Although He Futai and others didn't know whether this was true or not, but Qian Junnan said it was, then they just went along with it.
"Besides, my father-in-law also particularly likes those famous horses and war horses! You should also know that my father-in-law has thousands of guards, right?" Qian Junnan looked at He Futai and continued to ask.
"We are aware of these things. I wonder if this matter has something to do with this glass ball?" He Futai and others were so clever in thinking that they naturally understood the meaning of Qian Junnan's words, but they still pretended not to know and asked in a low voice. road.
"My father-in-law told me at the time that you don't necessarily need to pay for this glass ball. You can exchange it for things like cattle, sheep, and horses! Do you understand what I mean?" After Qian Junnan said this, he took the glass ball back into his sleeve. , then straightened up and looked at a few people and asked with a smile.
The idea of exchanging glazed balls for cattle, sheep and horses was something that suddenly occurred to Lu Chen after Qian Junnan left. What the Tang Dynasty lacked most was naturally the cattle, sheep and horses in the hands of these nomadic peoples, and this broken The stuff is worthless. As far as the output of Liulifang is concerned, if you work hard to produce it, you will only produce broken glass balls a day. If you don't produce a thousand or eight hundred a day, there are only other glass products, and Liulifang also has them.
It would be so comfortable to exchange these things for cattle, sheep and horses. King Qin has the Xuanjia Army, and he also has a cavalry team. With what he has in hand, this cavalry team will definitely become better than the Iron Buddha of the Jin Dynasty in later generations. Because of the existence of x, Lu Chen had already thought of a name for the cavalry team, so he called it "Pojunwei".
After Qian Junnan returned to the "Prosperous Age", Lu Chen sent someone to inform Qian Junnan of this incident that he later remembered.
"Of course we know what Mr. Gong and Shopkeeper Qian mean, but when we come to Chang'an this time, we don't have livestock such as cattle, sheep and horses!" He Futai looked at Mi Su, Kang Jiangyan and Shi Lun. After taking a look, he said with some embarrassment.
"Let me tell you, your brains are quite inflexible!" Qian Junnan looked at He Futai and others with a hateful expression, "If you have money, you can buy it with other businessmen! My father-in-law I told you, these cattle, sheep and horses can not only be exchanged for this thing, but also for furniture, iron stoves and so on!" Qian Junnan directly reminded He Futai and others.
"That's right! As expected, Shopkeeper Qian is indeed a great shopkeeper. His brain is smarter than mine!" He Futai directly thanked Qian Junnan.
Seeing that these people were persuaded, Qian Junnan discussed with them how many cattle, sheep, and horses were needed to exchange for the furniture and iron stoves. As for the glass beads, how many cattle, sheep, or horses were needed to exchange for one.
After talking for a while, He Futai and others saluted Qian Junnan with grateful faces and left the prosperous age happily.
Seeing several people leaving happily, Qian Junnan took out the bag with gold leaves in his arms, weighed it twice, and left Shengshi directly, heading straight to Lujiazhuang again.
Arriving at Lujiazhuang, Qian Junnan waited for a long time in Lu Mansion before waiting for Lu Chen who had returned from the workshop area.
"Fat Qian, why are you back again?" Seeing Qian Junnan running back again, Lu Chen couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
"Master! The affairs of those Hu businessmen have been settled!" Qian Junnan saluted Lu Chen and said.
"It's agreed, you can execute it! I only care about the results of this kind of thing, otherwise what would I do with you, the big shopkeeper?" Lu Chen, who was sitting in the main seat, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then looked at Qian Junnan asked.
"Those businessmen gave me something. I don't dare to hide it, so I came here to hand it over!" Qian Junnan said, taking out the deerskin bag with gold leaves from his arms, and respectfully presented it to him with both hands. In front of Lu Chen.
"You kid..." Lu Chen pointed at Qian Junnan with a smile, then reached out to take the deerskin bag presented by Qian Junnan, opened it and took a look.
"Ouch! These Sogdian businessmen are quite good!" Lu Chen casually took out a few gold leaves from his pocket and looked at them, then rubbed them. This was the first time that Lu Chen confirmed A touch of gold from this era.
"I didn't expect that those Sogdian businessmen would give me this thing!" Qian Junnan said with a smile.
"This is your reward!" Lu Chen directly handed five gold leaves to Qian Junnan.
"Ah?" Qian Junnan looked surprised when he saw the gold leaves handed to him by his father-in-law. This kind of treatment was something Qian Junnan had never thought of. People like them, even if they were affiliated, When aristocratic families or nobles accomplish something requested by their master, they will receive at most a compliment, or even not even a compliment at all. It seems to be what they deserve. This is how they behave in aristocratic families or certain people. status among the nobility.
Looking at the gold leaves handed to him by his father-in-law, Qian Junnan's hands started to tremble a little. As businessmen, it would be good if they did not increase their "donations". When would they be able to get rewards from their masters?
"Master, is this really for a villain?" Qian Junnan asked excitedly and uneasily at the same time.
"It's natural. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded!" Lu Chen directly stuffed the gold leaf into Qian Junnan's hand.
