Chapter 204 is selling friendship
After more than ten days of arduous journey, Shi Lei and his group finally arrived at Kangyanchuan where the king of the East Girl Kingdom was located. There were also light water in the middle. Fortunately, there were always cowhide rafts of different sizes by the water, and there were still quite a lot of them. Shi Lei and his group could cross safely with all kinds of goods, and they did not delay their journey.
Speaking of the plateau, yaks are really used to the extreme. The cow hair is made into felt, making clothes and tents to keep warm and block the wind. Yak meat is one of their important sources of meat, and yak milk is their main source of butter and various dairy products. Usually, yaks have to act as their mounts, and yak dung has to be used as the main fuel. It can be seen that this thing is a treasure all over the body.
Shi Lei has so many yaks under his command, so naturally there is no waste. Some of them are the most useful female yaks.
Among the guards, there were also masters who were good at making these things. Some of them were originally Turkic or Qiang people, so things like milk skin and cheese soon appeared on Shi Lei and their dining tables.
Moreover, the yaks that died before were not wasted. Now they have either become the jerky yak sold in their previous lives, or have been stewed or simply roasted, and then entered the guards' stomachs.
Unfortunately, Shi Lei must not have such a good treat. He went to try these authentic yak meat, so he could only eat vegetarian food.
Every day, I can only hold the hot oil cakes and drink the porridge cooked with compressed biscuits. It is considered an extra meal to eat some wild vegetables.
It is not realistic to make real delicious food without the help of a pressure cooker on the plateau, especially for Shi Lei and others who are busy rushing to travel. The originally easy-to-use compressed dry food has become very disgusting.
However, this oil cake and compressed dry food were unexpectedly loved by tribes of all sizes along the way.
Shi Lei had not moved the other goods on hand, and he was only able to use these guards for the time being, or he simply didn't want to eat, so he exchanged a lot of cattle and horses for the reserves of cattle and horses.
Considering that the transportation capacity of one's own home is still relatively limited, we naturally give priority to these living things.
Just tie them to the saddle and run away with them. By the way, you can also help carry some things, killing two birds with one stone.
Of course, the necessary dry food must be kept. You must have the confidence to face various possible situations.
Just looking at the hot sales situation, Shi Lei was considering whether his own snack bar opened the wrong place.
It seems that if you come to the plateau, you will sell better. And judging from the enthusiasm of these people, you will make a lot more profitable.
But I guess there are not many farmers who are really willing to squat on the plateau all year round.
Anyway, Shi Lei must not be able to stand it. He has lived here for a long time, but the sour smell is really unbearable.
Whenever he arrives in a tribe, Shi Lei always warmly brings out a white silk Hada and sends his most sincere blessings to the leader.
Shi Lei's reputation soon spread on this plateau. Hada and Shi Lei were also well-known as tea that he has been enthusiastically promoting.
Because whenever Shi Lei goes, he always tells them the various benefits of tea, which can relieve greasiness and cure diseases.
Especially people on the plateau, they have always relied on various high-calorie foods, and many questions have indeed been corrected by Shi Lei.
Therefore, these people absolutely believe in the words of Shi Lei, the "miracle doctor".
Facing Shi Lei's generous tea bricks were taken out as a gift, these hospitality leaders had absolutely no reason to be stingy.
What others took out were gifts blessed by various gods, so how could they not be more generous?
Therefore, the merchants quickly discovered that the gifts received by Shi Lei, the owner of the manor, were far more than those they had traded. In this way, they had to be grateful to the owner.
"High, it's really high." This is almost the most things that many guards say in private every time they leave a tribe.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a real "Gaoba" from the East Women's Kingdom in the team, that is, the female officials, the guards would have been unable to help but run to Shi Lei to get the scriptures.
"What we sell is not only goods, but more importantly friendship. If these simple plateau people recognize you as their friend from the bottom of their hearts, then it doesn't matter whether you are silk or tea.
Even if what you took out is just a stone, if you say it is worth ten yaks, some people are willing to believe it.
Of course we won’t do anything to cheat friends like this. We have taken it out, but it’s a real good thing.
The many effects of tea are not something I swear by. You will know reads next time you come back;.”
This is what Shi Lei said when he told Uncle Li in private.
In the future, Uncle Li will be responsible for the caravans along the way of Tubo. So this time when talking to all the leaders, Shi Lei will take him with him.
It is necessary to lay this foundation in advance, and Uncle Li himself is a descendant of the Qiang people, so there is no obstacle to communicating with the plateau nations.
He is also smart enough, and he has no doubt about his loyalty to his family.
It was Shi Lei who specially pulled out from the big shopkeeper in Yizhou.
It is also recommended by Uncle Yang, and he can be a unique talent.
After some training, he is not lacking in the ability to handle things. He is fully qualified to be the shopkeeper in Tubo.
Just looking at how he had been very close to many people in such a short time, Shi Lei knew that he had chosen the wrong person.
Before Shi Lei's subordinates became like plateau people, with a fishy smell that could not be removed, they finally entered Kangyanchuan under the leadership of the female official.
Although it is known as the royal city of the Eastern Girls Kingdom, it is actually not very large.
Kangyanchuan is built on three hills, on the west side of the mountain in the shape of a big roll, and is located in the deep mountain valley in the shape of a gourd.
The entire royal city is composed of multi-layered terraces, with a wall made of stone looming, with a widest place reaching 4 meters.
A watchtower stands quietly there, looking quite majestic.
It is quite different from other tribes in a relatively primitive state, and it is also considered to have the temperament of a royal city.
On the horse road, you can occasionally see caravans coming and going, which brings a lot of commercial atmosphere to this majestic royal city.
This is also a rare place where Shi Lei can see other Han people after he came to the plateau. I can only say that the transactions of the Eastern Women's Kingdom were quite successful.
The female official took Shi Lei and the others to a stone building, probably a station-like station, and settled it first.
The Queen is a busy day, so it is impossible to meet Shi Lei directly.
Or this invitation is indispensable to this female official, and she must communicate with the queen first.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shi Lei happened to go out for a walk. He was not as urgent as starting this meeting.
If you know more about the market here, you can be more clear. It is more appropriate to traffic in those goods, and you can also find out which goods to exchange for, which is more profitable.
Kang Yanchuan is also divided into inner city and outer city. The inner city is not only the place where the queen lives, but most elite tribes live in the inner city.
The defense here is naturally the strongest. The taller, thicker stone city walls and densely packed elite warriors all show the uniqueness here.
There are only a few outside cities, and the officials and tribe members who are responsible for maintaining market order are more foreigners who come here to operate.
There were both subordinates from the Central Plains, confidants of Tubo leaders, and merchants from India who came to travel thousands of miles to go to business.
Shi Lei, with two uncles, and two brothers Xiong, was simply in this area, which was more like a large market in the outer city, and was interested in checking the products from different regions.
The dazzling array of goods made Shi Lei very excited and his horizons widen.
