    Fu Xiaowa also smiled and said: "Haha, it turns out that's the case, but now it seems that this dialect is not useless, at least it will be of great help to your current business!"

    "This seems to be really good. By the way, what are you doing here?" The gentleman Zhengming then thought that Fu Xiaowa is now a member of the Green Wolf, and now he must be leading these men with ferocious faces.  People from the Green Wolf Gang.

    Fu Xiaowa replied: "Oh, I'm here to do a business, and now I happen to be short of someone who can speak dialects. I meet you by chance, can you help me?"

    Shen Zhengming said firmly: "I don't care whether I am born or die, let alone a casual job!"

    Fu Xiaowa thanked him: "Thank you in advance!"

    Shen Zhengming said: "Don't say thank you, it's too intrusive. We can go back together and have company!"

    Meeting an old friend in a foreign country is a happy event in life. The two chatted for a long time. The gentleman came to see the grain prices and found that the profits were indeed considerable. There was a shortage of rice and noodles outside the customs. If they were shipped, they could be sold at a good price.  However, he does not plan to do this business because the profit is high, but the road is too dangerous and the risks he has to bear are also high.

    After finishing his own affairs, Shen Zhengming accompanied Fu Xiaowa to wait for the deal from the Green Wolf Gang.  Having rested enough in the teahouse, everyone continued to visit the black market.  This black market is a black market. There is no order and everything is chaotic. Those swarthy outsiders, with their hair tied up and yellow rotten teeth, are mumbling words that Fu Xiaowa and others cannot understand.

    The air was filled with the smell of horse manure, and the people who were buying and selling the animals looked at them and raised their hooves in a somewhat violent manner.

    "This horse. It's such a big horse, much bigger than what we saw in Qingniu Town!"

    Fu Xiaowa looked at these specialties outside the pass with curiosity. Shen Zhengming on the side explained: "Of course, the water and grass outside the pass are rich and fertile. Moreover, the food they feed is also special, and the horses they raise are also extraordinary. For example, this one,  If it can be transported to the Imperial City, the price will be more than ten times higher!"

    Fu Xiaowa exclaimed: "Is there such a high profit?"

    Shen Zhengming showed off his rich knowledge from a businessman family and said: "Of course, otherwise it would be called a black market. It is something banned by the government. Only then will the profit be high. Otherwise, who would take this risk and come to Zhaijiao?"  , but to be honest, this is not a particularly good business. The horse is too big and there are risks during transportation. It is not as profitable as the medicinal materials smuggled by the Qinglang Gang, such as ginseng, deer antlers, snow lotus and so on. The volume is not very profitable.  Very tall too!¡±

    Fu Xiaowa suddenly understood and said: "No wonder Hall Master Qiao Ruyan would take the risk to do this!"

    At this time, the old horse seller came over and started chattering. Fu Xiaowa was confused.  Shen Zhengming smiled and translated: "He asked you to buy a horse. He said it was the best horse from outside China. It was fed with fine feed!"

    Fu Xiaowa shook his head and said: "It's useless to buy it back, tell him. We won't buy it!'

    Seeing that Shen Zhengming was also chattering for a while, the old man's face became sad and he muttered, as if cursing these people who just didn't want to buy.

    I saw the old man dragging a sack from the side and pouring concentrate into the wooden trough in front of the horse. Seeing the novelty of this thing, Fu Xiaowa asked the gentleman Zhengming, "What is he feeding the horse?"  "

    Shen Zhengming looked at it and said in awe: "This is highland barley, a specialty outside the customs. Just like we eat rice and noodles, they eat highland barley, but this food is very unpalatable. People in the Dali Dynasty are not used to eating it. You see  They all use it to feed the horses themselves!¡±

    "Highland barley?" Fu Xiaowa exclaimed, "Is this highland barley?"

    Shen Zhengming nodded and said: "This is highland barley. It is produced in places outside the customs and beyond. It is generally used to feed long-haired cattle, a kind of particularly cold-resistant cattle!"

    Fu Xiaowa happily reached into the wooden trough and picked up a handful of the strange, rough-looking grain. It turned out that this was the green nugget he had been looking for.

    The old man outside the pass, who didn¡¯t want to buy horses, came to dance around again and muttered as if to drive him away. Fu Xiaowa hurriedly said to Shen Zhengming: "Tell him quickly, I want to buy highland barley, and I want to buy a lot of it!"

    Shen Zhengming asked strangely: "Why do you want highland barley? This stuff is hard to swallow when cooked, much worse than rice noodles!"

    Fu Xiaowa explained: "Actually, my godfather's winery has been looking for this highland barley, but it has never been able to buy it. It turns out that it is available here!"

    Shen Zhengming said: "This thing is very cheap, but how do you plan to transport it back? It will probably cost a lot to make wine!"

    Fu Xiaowa was really embarrassed at this time. He had never thought about this problem. Seeing Fu Buwa being embarrassed, Shen Zhengming made up his mind and said, "Let's do this. If you want highland barley, just buy it from me. Qi Chang and I will  I have experience in this grain business. I will transport rice and noodles here to sell them, and then I will buy them back and make some profit!"

      Fu Xiaowa asked worriedly: "Is this appropriate?"

    Shen Zhengming actually didn't want to do the grain business here. It was too dangerous here. However, he would help Fu Xiaowa no matter how dangerous the situation was. He lied and said, "I'm bringing back rice and flour to buy highland barley. I make money on both sides. Why?"  If you don¡¯t do it, leave the highland barley matter to me!¡±

    Fu Xiaowa really needs this highland barley. He said: "Okay, I can give you a higher price. As long as you can help transport it back, can you talk to the boss?"

    Shen Zhengming chatted with the boss outside Guanwai for a long time, and saw the old man outside Guanwai shaking his head. For some reason, Shen Zhengming talked for a long time, and finally saw the old man outside Guanwai nodding.

    Fu Xiaowa asked curiously: "What's wrong with this old man?"

    Shen Zhengming smiled and said: "This horse seller thinks the profit of highland barley is low and doesn't want to do it, so I told him that if I want to buy a horse, the condition is to send two big bags full of highland barley. He can carry the horse just right."  Come on, it just so happens that I can go back on horseback. Isn't this just a coincidence? I'll go back to Qingniu Town and sell the horse for twice the price. A lot of people want it, so I can make another fortune!"

    Fu Xiaowa praised: "Zhengming, you are really business-minded, so smart!"

    "No, no, I'm used to staying at home. I've seen a lot and know a few things about business. Okay, even if the matter is settled like this, from now on Qingbai will take care of my family's needs, and they can have as much as they want!"

    "The hard work is yours!"

    Shen Zhengming smiled and said: "It's okay. In business, making money is hard work!"

    In this way, Shen Zhengming and the old man from outside the customs bought two horses, carrying two large bags full of highland barley. The two large bags of highland barley were enough for Fu Xiaowa Winery for a while, because highland barley originally only accounted for 20% of the grain for winemaking.  That¡¯s all.

    After the transaction was completed, looking at the time, it was time to trade medicinal materials with the outsider. The group of people arrived at the agreed place.  This is the west side of Zhaijiao. Some rules have been formed automatically. The west side sells medicinal materials.

    Those things such as ginseng, deer antlers and other things that seemed precious in the Daxi Dynasty are now packed in sacks and sold like cabbage. Seeing this scene makes people feel that there is gold everywhere in this village.  ``````
