The Cannon Fodder of Fast Time Travel, She Chooses To Farm: Chapter 99 The sperm-making female partner chooses to farm 48
Chapter 99: A female mate chooses to farm (48)
The opening day happened to be the beginning of summer.
Many places in Yanhua have the custom of eating duck eggs at the beginning of summer. Therefore, the beginning of summer is also called "eating eggs".
The latest batch of supplies shipped by the **** agency included several baskets of duck eggs. The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Xu Yin was worried that they would not last long, so she simply cooked a large pot full of five-spice braised eggs on the day of the market.
The braised egg stall is located at the entrance of the market. People coming and going are the first to see this stall and the first thing they smell is the aroma of braised eggs.
Tatars rarely eat duck eggs, and even if they do, they are wild duck eggs. At this moment, they were completely captured by the aroma of braised eggs.
In this world, is there anything more delicious than roasted mutton?
“How to sell?”
“Five pennies each, or exchange for items of equal value.”
“Five cents?” One of the Tatars had just sold a basket of wool and made dozens of cents. He immediately counted out five cents and asked for a braised duck egg.
“How is it? Is it delicious?” The companion looked at him eagerly and asked.
“Good time! So delicious! Let’s have another one!”
I didn’t finish one, so I asked for another one.
Taste buds are completely conquered!
When other people take a look, what are they waiting for? Buy it!
A group of people ate several times, then felt their two to three full stomachs and continued walking forward.
Huh? Where can I find something delicious? Fragrant and sweet...hiss! My mouth is watering!
Fortunately, the sheep boys stayed at home. If they came to the market, they wouldn't be so greedy that they would roll on the ground.
Following the sweet smell, they came to the end of the market, where there was a simple stall selling candied haws.
How can there be no market without candied haws?
Xu Yin didn't have time to wait for the hawthorns to be shipped from the south, so she made a batch of assorted fruit candied haws with local pears, apricots, and jujubes.
Among this group of people, there was a Tatar who was particularly fond of sweets. He asked for ten coins for a skewer. He had just sold a Cistanche deserticola plant and his wallet was bulging. He immediately asked for a skewer. When he ate it, he narrowed his eyes with happiness: " Delicious! Two more skewers and take them back to Yangwazi to eat."
When other people saw this, they also bought two bunches for you and three bunches for me.
Just like that, I went shopping all the way and bought a bunch of fresh food. I bought all the sugar, soy sauce and other seasonings requested by my boss (mother-in-law), and two pieces of silk that were said to be produced in Nanban. I cut them into clothes to keep cool. .
The total cost of all these things cost them a sheep, a can of goat's milk, a few bundles of wool, and a few handfuls of cistanche deserticola.
The Tatars who came to the market were quite satisfied.
Similarly, the people in Guanhai who came to set up stalls or go to the market were also very satisfied.
They exchanged wild dates and apricots picked from the mountains for sheepskins and made them into coats to keep them warm in winter.
I used domestic chickens in exchange for mutton of the same value, and the other party also gave me a spoonful of goat milk.
Exchange an earthen clay pot for a woolen felt hat…
It seems that the Tatars are quite easy to get along with.
There were soldiers from the Firearms Battalion patrolling back and forth with live ammunition, and the people became a lot more courageous. This time it was not over yet, and they were actually looking forward to the next big gathering.
As for the one who has benefited the most, it is naturally Xu Yin.
She sent out her maids and servants to set up many stalls in the market.
They sell not only southern barbarian specialties, but also grain, cloth, mountain goods from the south and other scarce supplies in the northwest purchased along the way north.
In exchange for countless sheepskin felts, there were also several live sheep.
One of the sheep is a ewe, which is producing milk, and I plan to take it back to try to make milk powder.
In addition, several baskets of wool were collected.
Xu Yin asked a young man who sold her wool why he didn’t sell cashmere?
The other party was confused for a long time: "Does anyone want this thing?"
“If you want it, you can bring it over to the next big gathering, and I will give you a higher price than wool.”
"Okay, okay." The other party agreed immediately, carrying a basket and a bag, and went back happily. In short, the people inside and outside the customs were very satisfied with the first fair after the opening of the market.
There was no disruption to order.
Even if some people are holding back their bad intentions and want to cause harm, they can't help but stop when they see the firearms battalion patrolling with live ammunition. Until the market stalls are closed, all parties are in peace.
Upon seeing this, the Tatar King no longer hesitated and expressed his willingness to negotiate peace with Yan Kejin.
The news of the peace talks between the Tatars and Yanhua soon spread to the ears of Beiqiang, Ronghu and other foreigners.
At first they couldn't believe it: The warlike Tatars actually negotiated peace? What kind of benefits does Yanhua provide?
So spies were sent out one after another.
Yan Kejin turned a blind eye to this, and even talked about the supplies traded with the Tatars 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 other soy fiber quilts? Is that bedding or something to eat? There is also beautiful white porcelain. Is Guannai willing to trade such an expensive thing? Isn’t it expensive? real or fake?
The spies from all walks of life went back through mosquito repellent incense. After listening to their reports, the foreign leaders felt as if they had not heard anything and were still confused.
Simply found an opportunity and went to the King of Tartar to inquire.
With this inquiry, they finally got the information they wanted.
Yanguan Pass is actually open to outsiders! !
Allow foreigners to enter and trade! !
Everyone was extremely shocked.
real or fake?
Could it be a trap?
Other foreign tribes felt that the Tatars must have been deceived, and sooner or later they would be caught in the trap of Yan Kejin.
They are waiting for a good show.
But after waiting, there was no news that the Tatars were engulfed by Yanhua. Instead, they found that the Tatars' daily necessities were enriched at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At every big market, they go to Yanguan Market to exchange for condiments, cotton and linen cloth, and various cans.
Not only that, the Tatars even opened a workshop selling cheese, milk slices, and toffee outside the gate of Yanguan City.
With their wives and children in need of wedding candies, people in the city would go to this Tatar store to order them.
The living standards of people in cities are also improving day by day.
At the beginning of autumn, I heard another jaw-dropping news:
The people of Yanguan grew juicy and sweet watermelons and a high-yielding grain called potatoes on the sandy soil, with an output of thirty shi per mu.
Thirty stones! !
This news spread outside the customs, and the foreigners could not sit still.
Thirty stone per mu...how many seasons of wheat must be planted to reach this amount!
They wanted to attack and rob.
It is said that General Megatron invented a weapon called artillery, which is extremely powerful. Before attacking a city, you must first consider whether your flesh and blood body can withstand the artillery bombardment.
A group of foreigners: “…”
Just kidding, of course I can’t handle it!
I don’t want to wait any longer!
If we wait any longer, all the benefits will be taken by the Tatars.
Therefore, each of them brought generous gifts and sent envoys to negotiate peace. They only wanted to exchange supplies with the customs and purchase high-yield grain that could survive in the sandy soil. They were willing to exchange their sweat and blood for their horses.
This result made the soldiers stationed at Yanguan heave a sigh of relief.
Xu Yin and Yan Kejin looked at each other with smiles.
Look, high-yield grains and trade are indeed the most effective ways to quell wars.
"At this rate, during the Chinese New Year this year, the soldiers will be able to take turns going home to visit relatives and celebrate the New Year with their families." Xu Yin said with a smile, "You can also bring a knife of meat back. The journey is far and the meat cannot be carried, so just Convert it into silver coins for them."
Yan Kejin’s eyes were also full of smiles: “Yeah.”
