In the Western Regions, there were many things that were not available in the Central Plains. If they could use the flower-filled channels and spread them to the Western Regions, their business would be even bigger.
She went downstairs and pushed her way through the crowd. There were many strange plants and plants under the feet of the merchant, and many things like ivory and bear's paw.
”Miss, buy some.”
Seeing that she was lost in thought, Hu Shang, who was standing in the middle, grinned at her and said in a harsh Central Plains language: ”These are all good things, you don't have them in your Central Plains.”
Su Zhi didn't expose him and only smiled.
Due to geographical constraints, the Grand Wei only lacked some tropical fruits and plants. The crystal agates and ivory crafts laid out on the carpet were not difficult to find. There were even many pieces that were more expensive and more exquisite than these pieces.
Waiting until all the items had been sold, the spectators lost their interest and dispersed one by one. Only then did Su Zhi pick up a bunch of dried up trees on the ground and stare blankly.
The three Hu merchants were stunned. Along the way, they had sold a lot of things. None of the seedlings they brought with them had been sold. They were still discussing if they could not sell today, so they threw it away. Now, seeing Su Zhi staring blankly at the few saplings, they all stared at her in anticipation.
”This is pepper, right?”
For the time being, the Great Wei didn't have this as a seasoning ingredient.
Not only that, there were also many species of Pineapple and Leek in the stall.
”Miss is right, it's just that the people of Central Plains don't like it.”
Su Zhi found it funny. It wasn't that she didn't eat it, but that she didn't use it the right way. It was pretty good to grind pepper to make seasoning.
”I'll buy all of these. Give me a price, boss.”
Hearing that the goods were being sold, the three Hu merchants got excited. Afraid that Su Zhi would go back on her word, they exchanged glances and tried saying, ”Two taels of silver, go ahead and take it. We won't earn anything this time, just give us a fare.”
”Sure, deal!”
Su Zhi straightforwardly opened her mouth and paid the bill.
All the seedlings that no one wanted to buy at the stalls had been taken away by her.
When he carried the pile of half-dead seedlings back, Li Yi still felt it was strange, so he pointed at the things in her arms and asked what they were.
Su Zhi busied herself with digging holes in the yard and watering the plants, as if she had picked up a big bargain.
”Why would I want to buy these things? Whether I can survive or not is a question.”
”Yes, I'll carefully raise them. They shouldn't be a problem.”
Li Yi was extremely puzzled. ”But are these things that I've never seen before of any use in buying them?”
As Su Zhi watered the seedlings, she replied, ”I do. Look at this. It's called pepper. The raw fruit can be used as seasoning. This one's for seasoning. There's also these spices. ”
”But these kinds of things don't necessarily mean that people are in the habit of eating them. What do we do if we can't sell them all?”
”Don't worry Big Brother Li. Even if I can't sell it, I can still use it myself.”
He was afraid that once he figured out how to use them, the supply would be insufficient.
She had faith in the Chinese people's commitment to food. If she wanted delicious food, there would be a lot of seasonings.
When the summer came, he would sell some cold vegetables mixed with pepper. The sales would definitely be very good.
”Oh yeah, those businessmen outside haven't left, right? Brother Li, please do me a small favor. I would like to invite them to the second floor.”
Li Yi squatted down and looked at the seedling in the yard. He asked in confusion, ”What are you trying to do now?”
”Doing business. I want to discuss something with those Hu men.” You see, they have it, we don't have it, we have it, they don't have it. Mutual assistance, mutual benefit and mutual benefit, so that Flowerhouse can sell more and more things to buy, and the flow of customers will also become bigger and bigger. ”
Li Yi thought about it for a moment and felt that it was reasonable, so he didn't refuse and hurriedly went to see the Hu merchants outside to invite them.
