Chapter 615 (1/2)
Tian Dahe signed a supply contract with Barbara to provide them with 100000 Jin of fresh fruits of Horqin tribe every year. In fact, he also thought of giving them more watermelons. Because a watermelon is twenty or thirty kilograms, and the price is not cheap, this is definitely the most cost-effective.
And he also heard from Marquis Wu that Barbara ate watermelon in the palace today. I asked for watermelon at noon, so the boy should have enjoyed it.
In other words, he will certainly not object to transporting more watermelons to them at that time. In this way, it is much easier to order 100000 Jin of fresh fruits.
Just a little worried about the fields over there. It is said that they are poor fields.
Tian Yuqiao suddenly thought of something. When Barbara was about to get up and leave, she quickly said, ”please wait a minute. I think we can talk again.”
”Oh? You little girl, what do you want to talk to Prince Ben?” Barbara sat down again and asked with interest.
”Dad, the fields over there are short of nutrients, and the Horqin tribe raises a large number of cattle and sheep. It seems that we can consider buying their cattle and sheep dung,” Tian Yuqiao reminded.
Tian Dahe understood what his daughter meant, so he smiled and arched his hands and said, ”Your Highness, my daughter is right. In order to make our cooperation more pleasant and let you eat sweeter fresh fruits, I think it is necessary for us to buy some cow and sheep dung from you. The price is easy to discuss.”
Barbara's blue eyes turned, and then he said, ”but our feces are also very precious things, because you should know that we need to burn dry cow dung to keep warm in winter. We don't have as many trees to cut down as you do, so ~”
Wuhou suddenly thought of something. Then he lowered his voice and said to Tian Dahe, ”why don't you exchange coal with them? Maybe it's a good idea.”
Tian Yuqiao's ears and eyes were clear. Naturally, she heard what Marquis Wu said. So he said, ”Dad, I think it's feasible. Our coal can burn better than their cow dung.”
”Coal? What's that?” Barbara stared round.
Their tribe has always been worried about firewood. Now it's hard to hear such a new thing. Naturally, he wants to know about it.
The emperor knew that Marquis Wu and the Tian family bought a batch of coal, which could be burned instead of wood. Now the kiln is using it, so he didn't show too much surprise.
”Why don't you do that? Our back kitchen now uses coal to cook rice. Why don't you go and have a look with me and we'll know then.” Tian Yuqiao said with a smile.
”Well, well, let's go,” Barbara urged.
I came to the back kitchen, because I don't have to entertain other guests today, so there aren't many people in the back kitchen, but the one who was responsible for making crab banquet for them just now.
When they saw that the owner and the noble people were all coming, they were so frightened that they quickly got up to meet them.
”Don't bother. Is there any fire in the stove now?” Tian Yuqiao asked.
”Yes, yes, I don't know what you want?”
”Nothing, just show them our coal.” Tian Yuqiao said with a smile.
