The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 99

The opening day happened to be Lixia.

Many places in Yanhua have the custom of eating duck eggs in Lixia, so Lixia is also called "Lidan".

There were several baskets of duck eggs in the latest batch of supplies brought in by the Escort. The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Xu Yin was worried that they would not last long, so she simply cooked a big pot full of five-spice marinated eggs on the opening day.

The stewed egg stall is located at the entrance of the market. People who come and go will see this stall first and smell the fragrance of stewed eggs first.

Tartars seldom eat duck eggs, even if they have wild duck eggs, at this moment, they are completely captured by the aroma of marinated eggs.

In this world, there is actually something more delicious than roast lamb?
"How to sell?"

"Five cents a piece, or exchange for something of the same value."

"Five coins?" One of the Tartars had just sold a basket of wool and made dozens of coins. He counted out five coins proudly and asked for a stewed duck egg.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" The companion on the side looked at him eagerly and asked.

"Good time! It's so delicious! Let's have another one!"

I didn't finish one, so I asked for another one.

The taste buds are completely conquered!
Others see it, what are you waiting for, buy it!

A group of people ate several times in a row before touching their two or three full stomachs, and continued to walk forward.

Huh?Where is there something delicious?Fragrant sweet... hiss!Saliva flowed out!
Fortunately, the goats stayed at home. If they come to the market with them, they won't be so greedy that they will roll on the ground.

Following the fragrant and sweet smell, they came to the end of the market, where there was a simple stall selling candied haws.

How can there be no candied haws in the market!
Xu Yin didn't have time to wait for the hawthorn to be shipped from the south, so she used local pears, apricots, and dates to make a batch of assorted fruit candied haws.

Among the group, there was a tartar who was particularly fond of sweets. He asked for a string of ten renminbi. He had just sold a Cistanche and his wallet was full. He immediately asked for a string, and he squinted his eyes happily after eating: " Delicious! Two more skewers, take them back for Yangwazi to eat."

Seeing this, other people followed you to buy two bunches and I bought three bunches.

In this way, I went shopping all the way, bought a bunch of novelty foods, and purchased all the seasonings such as sugar and soy sauce requested by the boss (mother-in-law) at home, and two bolts of silk that are said to be produced in Nanban. It is cool to cut into clothes .

With so many things added up, it only cost them a sheep, a can of goat milk, a few bundles of wool, and a few handfuls of cistanche.

The Tartars who came to the market were quite satisfied.

Similarly, the people in the pass who come to set up stalls or go to the market are also very satisfied.

They exchanged the wild dates and apricots they picked from the mountains for sheepskins, and made them into jackets to keep them warm in winter.

I used a domestic chicken to exchange for mutton of the same value, and the other party gave me a spoonful of goat milk.

Use an earthen crock, exchange for a wool felt hat...

From this point of view, the Tartars are still quite easy to get along with.

Soldiers with guns and live ammunition from the Firearms Battalion patrolled back and forth, and the common people became more courageous. This time it is not over yet, and they are looking forward to the next big rally.

And to say that the one who has benefited the most is naturally Xu Yin.

She sent maids and servants from the mansion to set up many stalls in the market.

They sell not only Nanban specialties, but also grain, cloth, and mountain products from the south, which are scarce in the Northwest, purchased all the way north.

In exchange for countless sheepskin felts, and a few live sheep.

One of them is a ewe, which is in the milking period, and plans to take it back to try making milk powder.

In addition, several baskets of wool were collected.

Xu Yin asked a boy who sold her wool why he didn't sell cashmere?

The other party was stunned for a long time: "Is there anyone who wants this thing?"

"Yes, you can bring it to the next big sale, and I will give you a higher price than wool."

"Okay, okay." The other party agreed straight away, carrying baskets and burdens on their backs, and happily went back.

In short, the people inside and outside the customs were very satisfied with the first market after the market opened.

There was no disruption of order.

Even if someone was holding back their stomachs and wanted to cause sabotage, the firearms battalion patrolling with live ammunition could not help but stop their flags and drums. Until the market closed, all parties were in peace.

Seeing this, the Tatar king no longer hesitated, expressing his willingness to negotiate peace with Yan Kejin.

The news of the peace talks between the Tatars and Yanhua quickly spread to the ears of the Northern Qiang, Ronghu and other foreigners.

At first they couldn't believe it: the warlike Tartars actually negotiated peace?What kind of benefits did Yanhua offer?
So spies were sent out one after another.

Yan Kejin turned a blind eye to this, or closed his eyes, and even talked about the supplies traded with the Tartars in front of the spies.

The spies were confused: they knew about oil, salt, and sugar, but what were soy sauce and canned food?What else is a soy fiber quilt?Is that bedding or something to eat?There is also beautiful white porcelain, Guan Nei is willing to trade such a precious thing?The price is not expensive?real or fake?

The spies from all walks of life went back under the guise of mosquito coils, and the leaders of the foreign tribes listened to their reports, as if they hadn't listened, and were still at a loss.

I simply found an opportunity and went to the King of Tatars to inquire.

After this inquiry, they finally got the information they wanted.

Yanguan is actually open to outsiders! ! !

Aliens are allowed to enter and trade! ! !
Everyone was shocked.

real or fake?

Could it be a trap?
Other foreigners felt that the Tatars must have been fooled, and that they would be caught by Yan Kejin sooner or later.

They wait to see a good show.

But waiting and waiting, it took a long time to wait for the news that the Tatars were swallowed by Yanhua, but found that the daily necessities of the Tatars were enriched at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Every big market, they go to Yanguan Market to exchange condiments, cotton linen, and various canned food.

Not only that, the Tartars even opened a workshop selling cheese, milk slices, and toffee outside the gate of Yanguan City.

People in the city need wedding candies to marry their wives and have children, and they will go to the store opened by this Tartar to order them.

The living standards of the people in the city are also improving day by day.

When autumn came, I heard another jaw-dropping news:
The people of Yanguan planted juicy and sweet watermelons and a high-yield grain called potatoes in the sandy soil, with an yield of [-] shi per mu.

Thirty stone! ! !
When the news spread outside the pass, the foreigners couldn't sit still.

Thirty shimu yield... It takes several seasons of wheat to reach this amount!
They wanted to attack and grab it.

It can be said that General Megatron invented a weapon called artillery, which is extremely powerful. Before attacking a city, one must weigh whether his flesh and blood can withstand the artillery bombardment.

A group of foreigners: "..."

Just kidding, of course I can't bear it!
I don't want to wait any longer!

If you wait any longer, the Tatars will take all the benefits.

So, one by one, they brought generous gifts and sent envoys to negotiate a peace, only to exchange supplies with the pass, and to buy high-yielding grains that can survive in the sandy soil, even if they were willing to exchange their hard-earned horses.

This result made the soldiers stationed at Yanguan heaved a sigh of relief.

Xu Yin and Yan Kejin met smiling eyes.

See, high-yielding grain varieties and trade exchanges are indeed the most effective way to quell the war.

"At this rate, during the Chinese New Year this year, the soldiers will be able to take turns to go home to visit their relatives and have a reunion with their families." Xu Yin said with a smile, "I can also bring a piece of meat back with me. The road is far away, and the meat can't be brought with me. Exchange them for taels of silver."

Yan Kejin's eyes were also full of smiles: "Yes."
