The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 637 620 six: Eat snake meat and talk about business

The chef at home put the snake meat into shredded meat and put it on the table.

Zabbasi said excitedly: "Hurry up and serve some good food. Today I will entertain His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince."

The old king laughed and said: "Don't serve other things up, we won't eat them either!

Today we are here for this iceberg blood snake meat, what is the use of eating those things! "

Abbasi laughed.

"Your Majesty, it's so reasonable! I think His Majesty can eat other good things at ordinary times!

Only this iceberg snow snake meat, if you can eat a few bites, then you will be satisfied in this life. "

The cooks cut the meat of the iceberg blood snake into shreds, and then served them with various condiments. People dipped them in the condiments and ate them raw.

Duan Wuji smiled.

"Is this thing delicious to eat raw?"

Zabbasi laughed and said, "Wuji! You don't understand this, do you?

This is called the original taste. If it is cooked, is it still iceberg snow snake meat?

Now eating it is cool in your mouth, it feels so refreshing!

Come on, Promise, sit down and try it too!
As for the snake meat, it's natural for my cooks to do it.

If you don't eat such a delicious thing, you won't be able to eat it if you want to eat it at other times. "

In the whole yard, there are no fewer than sixty or seventy people eating snake meat!

Everyone refused to give in, everyone lowered their heads and ate hard.

Duan Wuji said to his buddies: "Brothers, let's follow the customs of the country, let's start eating too.

They say that this thing is delicious when eaten raw, so let's try it too! "

When the brothers heard what Duan Wuji said, they all sat down.

People dipped the shredded meat of iceberg snow snake into the condiment and ate it raw like Turpan people.

Not to mention, eating this thing raw would really have a special taste.

It is cool in the mouth, and the shredded pork is so smooth and tender.

I really want to eat a second bowl after eating one bowl!

My brothers are all big eaters, so they really ate plate after plate!

When everyone was almost full, Duan Wuji said to Zabbasi with a smile: "Master Zabbasi, our brothers are here to sell caterpillar fungus.

Now the meat of the iceberg snow snake is almost enough for us to eat.

Let's talk about the price of the Cordyceps! "

Zabbasi laughed out loud.

"Even if you don't say anything, I can guess that you are here to sell Cordyceps.

If I can't even guess this right, am I still Zabbasi? "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"Master Zabbasi, you are too smart, I am willing to deal with smart people!

Speak!What is the price of this year's Cordyceps! "

Zabashi replied while eating: "The price of Cordyceps is really expensive this year!

Dear friends, to tell you the truth, in the past two years, the production of Cordyceps has really decreased. The production in these two years has decreased by one-third compared with other years!

If the output is less, the price will naturally go up.

Later, the servants who collected the caterpillar fungus told me that they had seen two huge gazelles gnawing on the cordyceps.

The two gazelles are each bigger than the little donkey!
I just heard this news from the person who picked the caterpillar fungus, so I don't know if the news is true or not!

Later, I heard from the servants that it was two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, picking caterpillar fungus!

How much caterpillar fungus can two people pick?But the production of Cordyceps has dropped sharply.

I haven't figured out the reason until now, but the Cordyceps can't be harvested anyway.

If this cannot be collected, the price will naturally go up.

Now the purchase price of this Cordyceps has reached 58 taels of silver per catty.

You are my old friends, and I can't ask you for this price.

Just let me help you and forget it, and you can pay me 60 taels of silver.

I don't earn your money either, so I'll just keep my money.

If others want it, at least I have to ask them for 90 taels of silver a catty. "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"But if that's the case, then Master Zhaxi, I, Duan Wuji, thank you.

This time our six brothers brought over 1000 taels of gold.

Let's sell this Cordyceps back, and let's earn some money to spend!

It's really hard to live without money. "

The old king grinned.

"Zabasi, you are doing the right thing, we can make money, but you can't make money from anyone!

Duan Wuji is a great benefactor of our Tubo Kingdom. From my point of view, you can't make too much money from them!

Besides, Duan Changqing is my son-in-law, you earn their money, do you think I can be happy?

It doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss here.

I will waive all taxes for you this year, and you don't have to pay me any more.

In this way, you can't afford to lose anything! "

Zabbasi heard this, and quickly thanked the old king for exempting him from taxes.

The old king laughed out loud.

"Zabasi, the tax for a household like yours is nothing, just because you asked me to come here to eat the meat of this iceberg snow snake, I should also exempt you from this year's tax.

Such a good thing, it's not something anyone can eat if they want, Gu Wang, I've lived to such an old age.

This is the first time I have eaten such a good thing!

Lonely King, I feel comfortable all over now, and there is nothing wrong with me.

This giant snake can't finish a meal!Let me tell you, if the meat of this iceberg snow snake can't be eaten up, we will not leave the lonely king. "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Master Zabbasi, there is so much snake meat, you can't finish it before getting angry.

Why don't you call your chef, and each of you can cut a hundred catties of iceberg blood snake shreds for us. We will honor our parents when we bring them back, and let our brothers and sisters taste this rare thing. ! "

Duan Wuji looked at the five brothers.

"Who of you don't want the meat of this iceberg snow snake, it's not too late to make a noise.

After all, it is a very hard work to carry this thing for thousands of miles! "

The brothers grinned when they heard this.

"Brother, you can bring this thing back, but can't we brothers take it back?
Besides, it doesn't matter if you work harder, it will save your family from eating iceberg meat and snake meat, and our brothers will be scolded at home! "

That's how things were discussed.

Duan Wuji looked at Zabbasi and said: "After dinner, let's start to complete the transaction. After the transaction is completed, let's continue to eat the meat of this iceberg snow snake.

This thing is really a good thing.That is a meal counts as a meal!

If you missed it this time, if you want to eat it again in the future, it will only be in your dreams. "

After everyone was full, Zabbasi ordered to get out the bags of caterpillar fungus in the house.

I took a quilt and put it in the yard, and then poured all the wormwood on it.

Zabbasi said with a smile: "You guys inspect the goods. After the inspection, we can repack the bags and weigh them."

Several people looked at the goods and found that the goods were not much different from the previous ones.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Pack it up! Compared with the previous ones, the goods are not much different!

After the bag is packed, let's weigh it, and we'd better close the deal today.

If the deal is done, we'll be on the road tomorrow. "

After filling the bag, Zabbasi ordered the maids in the mansion to sew up the opening of the cordyceps bag.

Then began to weigh, these Cordyceps a total of 620 Jin.

The payable silver is 7000 two hundred!

Duan Wuji looked at Chai Shao and said with a smile: "This time is not bad, the gold we brought is still left!

Brother Changqing, hurry up and pay for the gold we brought!
If we exchange the rest for silver with him, when we go back, it will be used as the travel expenses of that river! "

The brothers took out the golden gold.

In addition to paying for the Cordyceps, I got back 800 taels of silver.

Songtsan Gampo was busy making arrangements, until the transaction was completed, then Songtsan Gampo was relieved!
