Chapter 844： Negotiate a good price

Chapter 844 Negotiate the price

The prince has said that a good horse needs one or two hundred taels of silver.

Of course, when merchants transport tea over a long distance, the cost will naturally increase greatly. If they change horses and go back, it is normal for the price to increase several times.

For her, there are almost no transportation costs.

Gu Fei took out a pack of tea she bought from her bag. A small pack weighed one pound. She handed it to Kurban, "This is the tea I brought here. You can let He Zhuo taste it."

Kurban took the tea and said it to Hezhuo. Hezhuo nodded. A woman came over and took the tea and started cooking it not far away.

After a while, the tea was brewed and poured into the tea bowl. He Zhuo tasted it and smiled on his face.

This tea tastes better than what he usually drinks, with less bitterness and a clearer aroma.

Gu Fei took out another small bag of tea leaves and said, "This is top-quality tea. The price is very expensive. It is a gift from me to you."

He Zhuo was very happy after hearing this. He took it and carefully opened it and smelled it. The fragrance was very strong.

He carefully wrapped the tea leaves, handed them to a maid next to him, and gave a few instructions.

The maid took a handful, boiled it in a small copper pot, poured it into a tea bowl, and handed it to He Zhuo.

He Zhuo first smelled the fragrance, and then slowly took a sip.

He closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, then pointed at the tea cup and said excitedly: "I want this, I like drinking this, this tastes so good, I want a hundred catties of this tea."

 Gu Fei smiled after listening to the translator, "This kind of tea is very expensive. It was the tea drunk by the emperor of the British Dynasty. There is not that much production. I will give you fifty kilograms at most. Fifty kilograms of tea must be exchanged for five high-quality horses."

He Zhuo was even more happy when he heard Kurban said it was the emperor who drank the tea, "Okay."

Then the man holding the account book discussed with He Zhuo, and then talked to Gu Fei for a long time. Gu Fei probably understood that their tribe has about 10,000 people. If there is enough tea, they can consume more than 100,000 kilograms of tea a year. Tea is good for relieving tiredness, digesting food, and refreshing people. They drink it with all three meals, and even one meal is indispensable.

After discussing for a long time, it was finally decided that a total of 100,000 jins of ordinary tea leaves would be exchanged, more than half of which would be Pu'er, a half of which would be green tea, and 100,000 jins of salt. The rest of the iron pots would also need some, as well as some silk and cotton cloth, and flour. and rice.

Gu Fei had already taken some paper and took notes. She smiled at He Zhuo and said, "I will send these things over as soon as possible."

He Zhuo was a little anxious. The tea leaves given to him by Gu Fei were too little and could not be drunk for a few days. The tea the emperor drank tasted good. "How long is the fastest?"

Furthermore, there has been a severe drought in the Northland in the past two years, and the number of caravans has decreased significantly. Now many families have no tea to drink.

Gu Fei thought for a while, "I can't say that, but within ten days."

After all, it takes time to purchase these miscellaneous things and settle accounts.

He Zhuo looked at Kurban in confusion, thinking that he had made a mistake in the translation. Kurban nodded affirmatively, "This girl is a goddess. She can travel thousands of miles in one day."

As the leader of the tribe, He Zhuo naturally would not believe such words casually. He just nodded and said, "Then I will wait for the good news about the girl."

Gu Fei and Kurban stood up to say goodbye. They sent Kurban home first and made an appointment with him to come back to him in a few days.

Then he took Qin'er back to the prince's palace, made a list, and had someone give it to the prince.

10,000 horses were finalized, which was far from the 40,000 horses that the prince wanted.

Gu Fei thought for a while, why not go to the court's horse farm first?

The nearest one is the horse farm on the other side of Longyou, which is more than a thousand miles away from Lincheng, Gu Fei's hometown.
