139 Horses from Pubu

The French people are a welcoming nation, especially when they treat you as a friend or a VIP, they spared no effort in entertainment. The business of more than 100,000 kilograms of tea was completed in less than a quarter of an hour, which was very fast. With Pubu's order, someone quickly brought something up, and a full table was set up soon...

Lu Haoshan, who was beside him, was surprised to see that in just a short while, the table was filled with vegetables, all related to beef and sheep. According to Pubu, Lu Haoshan knew that there were fried beef eyes, braised beef whip, charcoal grilled beef tongue, water-burned beef kernel, sautéed beef heart flower, braised beef tail, steamed beef, chestnut scented beef waist, etc., which were all related to beef. In a nutshell, there were all parts of the beef, which could be barely called a full beef feast.

There is only one dish about sheep, but only one dish is amazing enough: roasted whole lamb, a golden-roasted lamb, the lamb has green grass in its mouth and a red headscarf on its head. Lu Haoshan found that the sheep's head was facing him. According to the customs here, this is the meaning of respecting guests.

"Brother Lu, please sit down. You are in a hurry. There is no preparation, so be at will." Pubu said modestly.

Is this quite simple? Lu Haoshan immediately said: "No, Lord Wanhu is too modest. It is a great honor to have such a sumptuous meal here."

"Don't write to me to wrinkle this set. Come on, we have to have a few bowls of it."

Lu Haoshan looked at the table full of dishes and said in surprise: "So many dishes, only two of us?"

"There are only two, so many people, I, Pubu, value you the most. Others don't deserve this table. Don't worry, your subordinates will not treat them badly. After they have finished counting the tea and horses, there will be someone to entertain you. Come on and let them do it. Let's drink, and then do a bowl first." Pubu said without saying anything, picked up a silver pot and poured wine for the two of them.

"A bowl of it"

"Walk"

The two of them clinked their glasses heavily, then raised their heads and drank them. Lu Haoshan gritted his teeth and drank all the wine very happily.

You can't do it without gritting your teeth. These are not good wines from the Ming Dynasty, but the horse milk wine here. They are full of alcohol, but they have a very strong milky smell. They taste strange, but they have to drink even if they are bad. Here, if you invite you to drink and eat meat, you are regarded as a guest of honor. If you dislike the other side and look unhappy, it is an insult to the owner. At the least, it is an unhappy turn against each other. At the worst, it is a knife to face each other.

This is the real person who is in the world and cannot help himself.

"Hahaha, it's good, it's good." Pub smiled cheerfully: "Brother Lu. How is this wine?"

As they were talking, someone quickly filled the two of them again.

Lu Haoshan hesitated for a moment and quickly said honestly: "The wine that Lord Pubu invites him to drink is definitely a good wine. Unfortunately, I rarely drink this kind of wine, and I am a little uncomfortable for the time being."

Pubu didn't think he was angry when he heard this. Instead, he smiled and said, "Yes, I like your honest and straightforward personality. Unlike other Han people, they speak nicely, but in fact, they are not honest. Since we are not used to drinking, we will drink slowly. You are my guest of honor. This sheep should be the first to take the knife."

"Dare not obeying the orders" Lu Haoshan responded, stood up and took away the red scarf on the roasted sheep's head, and then cut off the head of the sheep with a knife. This was considered to be a knife. Soon a Pubu man took over, cut the meat for the two of them, and cut the tenderest part of the sheep onto the plate of the two for their enjoyment.

They were all refreshing people, so they were not polite. Lu Haoshan learned from Pu Bu's appearance and picked up a lamb leg and ate it in big mouth. It was good. The meat was roasted on the outside and tender on the inside, fat but not greasy. This was the authentic roasted whole lamb. Lu Haoshan ate it all over the mouth and was so happy. He looked around while eating. He saw Zhao Yuqing and his family members exchanged tea horses with Pu Bu's people. It seemed that the handover was going smoothly.

A small number of people are trading, and most of them are already eating and drinking. The soldiers of Wanhu Mansion often bring out food and drink for the members of Yan to eat and drink. Pubu, the master, did a good job, not only entertained himself, but also did not leave his subordinates. He translated the four words "hospitable" vividly with his actions.

Lu Haoshan accidentally saw the horses eating grass leisurely on the hillside, and his saliva was about to flow down. There were at least two or three thousand horses. If it was exchanged for silver, how much would it cost? He only exchanged 160 pounds of tea for 110,000 kilograms of tea. Although these soldiers from Wanhu Mansion were dressed a little tattered, especially the armor, which was broken and old, they thought others were poor. Unexpectedly, they were just "big dogs", with cattle, horses and sheep in herds, and the land was endless. Lu Haoshan couldn't help but think of a joke from later generations:

There was a college student who ranked third in the dormitory. When he first arrived at university, he said that the tuition was very expensive. For the sake of tuition, his family sold a cow. The brothers in the dormitory thought that the third family was not in good condition, so he often invited him to dinner and went to restaurants. He didn't have to make up for any activities. The second year, the third year said that he sold a cow for tuition, and in the third year, he also said that he sold a cow for tuition. Everyone couldn't help it for a while and asked him how many cows there were in his family and why there were cows sold every year. The third thought for a moment, and then said with embarrassment: "I didn't count carefully, there were about a thousand, and there were tens of thousands of sheep."

After asking, I found out that the third brother is an ethnic minority in Xinjiang and has many pastures at home. For a moment, the brothers of the stay-at-home brothers were stunned and could not speak for a long time...

"Brother Lu, what are you thinking? Come and eat more, you can eat enough wine and enough meat. I will give you good luck. This time I, Pubu, made a lot of money, hahaha."

After being distracted, Lu Haoshan quickly picked up the wine bowl and said, "Sir Wanhu, come, let's go another bowl. I wish you good luck and be blessed by the gods of the Three Realms."

"Hahaha, OK, listen to this, let's go."

The two of them touched each other, and then smiled and continued to eat and drink. After three rounds of wine and five rounds of taste, their relationship became more familiar. They began to talk about customs, interesting stories, etc. These things were not the opponent of Lu Haoshan again. When they talked about it, they almost looked at Lu Haoshan with admiration. He heard that he was flying alone, and nodding desperately while listening.

After nearly an hour of eating this wine, the two of them ate most of the lambs, and the plates with the whole beef meal on the table were also empty. Lu Haoshan didn't know that the two of them had eaten so much meat. They touched their round belly and exclaimed that they were satisfied. The tea-horse exchange had been completed smoothly. Judging from Zhao Yuqing's face, they were very satisfied with the transaction.

Seeing that the time was almost over, Lu Haoshan said gratefully to Pubu: "Mr. Pubu, thank you very much for your hospitality. I won't say anything polite. If you have the chance to come to Jiangyou, I will also be here. Please have a good meal. It's not too late now, so Lu will say goodbye first."

The transaction was successfully completed. Lu Haoshan had something to do in his heart and was as if he was returning home. At the banquet, he declined the kindness of visiting Wanhu Mansion again. After this enthusiastic farewell meal, it was time to say goodbye.

"Hahaha, don't worry," Pubu said with a smile: "I have a gift for Brother Lu."

"Send me a gift?"

Pubu suddenly put his two tail fingers in his mouth, and blew hard, making a very loud whistle. Soon, a soldier dressed in front of Lu Haoshan, led a white horse and appeared in front of Lu Haoshan. When Lu Haoshan saw it, he couldn't help but praise: "Good horse."

The horse is about 1.5 meters tall, 30 cm taller than an ordinary Tibetan horse, which is a bit outstanding. The horse looks very majestic: big and energetic, thin and long neck, well-developed chest, agile body, strong limbs, shiny and none of the furs. Even the layman Lu Haoshan, who is a layman, knew that he was a top-notch horse at a glance.

"Is this a good horse good, do you like it?" Pubu said with a smile.

"This is for me?" Lu Haoshan said in surprise.

"That's right."

"This is too expensive."

Now the political situation is turbulent. Horses are the main means of transportation, especially in combat, and horses need to be used. The price of horses has risen. In the Ming Dynasty, it takes about twenty taels to dismount a horse. The price of a good horse is rising sharply. Many rich children and generals and soldiers are proud of having a good horse. Riding a good horse is much more respectful than carrying a beautiful wife. If the horse is an ancient car, then the white horse in front of you can be said to be a supercar in the car.

The quality is first-class, and the things given by Pubu will not be much worse.

Pubu smiled and said, "This is seized from the Baitoufeng tribe. It is said that this is a mating mare and a Tianma. The impact, explosive power and endurance are impeccable. When Brother Lu meets, he not only gives me a generous gift, but also gives me a wealthy gift. You are generous and I can't be petty. This horse is just a gift to give you goodbye."

After saying that, Pubu lowered his voice and said, "To be honest with Brother Lu, I have also harvested a good horse, which is unparalleled in beauty, but this kind of horse needs to be conquered on the bed, hahaha." After speaking, he couldn't help laughing proudly.

This guy smiled so badly, needless to say, he must have grabbed the stunning beauty and gave this horse to himself in a good mood.

"Old Man Wanhu is full of rosy face. He must have conquered that special horse, right?" Lu Haoshan said intriguedly.

"That's right," Pubu said with a smug look: "That girl was stubborn with me at the beginning, but when she came to the back, she still made me obey, hahaha."

When he first came to the door, Lu Haoshan used money to open the door of Wanhu Mansion with a gift list that Pubu could not refuse. At that time, there was no way. After giving it out, he threw it into the water. Unexpectedly, Pubu was righteous and gave him this generous gift before leaving. It was not bad, but he was quite good at it. Lu Haoshan fell in love with this horse at a glance.

Lu Haoshan smiled and said, "Mr. Pubu is indeed extremely blessed. Lu admires it. I wonder what the horse is called?"

"You are its new owner, so of course you will name it, and you will give it a name." After Pubu finished speaking, he saw Lu Haoshan hesitating and couldn't help but smile and said, "Why not get on the horse first, try running a lap first and then think about it."
