Chapter 843: Tea for Horses

Gu Fei smiled and pointed at the big sack, "There's salt in there."

Pointing at the small bag, "This is tea."

Kurban stared at the sack for a moment, "So much?"

Gu Fei smiled and nodded, "If it's not enough, I'll send you some in a few days."

Kurban nodded repeatedly, "Enough, enough."

He hesitated and said, "If the goddess needs sheep, we can exchange sheep for salt and tea."

Gu Fei thought about it. It's very inconvenient for these herdsmen to exchange materials in such a remote place. If you can help, help.

She nodded slightly, "How about this? I'll try to come here once a year in the future and bring you tea and salt. If you need anything else, you can tell me."

Kurban knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to Gu Fei again, "Thank you, goddess."

Gu Fei stood up, "It's almost time, let's go."

Kurban told the old woman a few words, and then left with Gu Fei.

Aheqi just got off the horse and suddenly saw Gu Fei and Kurban appear beside him.

He had clearly looked back many times along the way, but he didn't see them following him.

Now she appeared out of nowhere beside him, which finally convinced Kurban that she was the goddess.

Only a goddess could make his horse disappear, and only a goddess could come and go without a trace.

He saluted Gu Fei respectfully, then said a few words to Kurban, and went to the yurt.

Gu Fei looked at the yurt, which was round and surrounded by white felt.

The two waited for a long time, and Aheqi came out and called them in.

The first feeling Gu Fei had when she entered was that the space inside the yurt was really large.

The whole yurt was a huge circle with a high dome and a thick wool carpet on the ground.

There were quite a few people inside, both men and women, old and young, and they all looked at Gu Fei curiously.

A man with a dignified look sat on the carpet at the end.

Gu Fei knew that this should be Hezhuo, and she bowed her hands in salute.

Kurban explained to the man that this was the etiquette of the Central Plains and was a sign of respect for him.

Hezhuo nodded slightly, asked a few questions in a friendly manner, and made a gesture of invitation.

The two sat down on the ground, and Kurban translated: "Hezhuo asked you, how many horses do you need?"

Gu Fei held up two fingers, "I need 20,000, do you have it?"

Kurban said, and Hezhuo shook his head, "Tell her that it is at most 10,000 horses."

Gu Fei nodded and said to Kurban: "10,000 is 10,000, but horses are divided into grades, and tea is also divided into grades. Ask him how to exchange it?"

Hezhuo waved to call a man and said a few words to her. The man quickly brought a book, flipped through it for a while and said: "In previous years, 250 kilograms of tea for a high-quality horse, 220 kilograms for a medium-quality horse, and 200 kilograms for a low-quality horse."

Kurban translated, and Gu Fei nodded slightly, "Can I see your tea?"

Hezhuo asked someone to bring some tea. There are several kinds of tea, including tea bricks, which should be Pu'er produced in southern Xinjiang. This is suitable for making milk tea, and there is also loose tea. Loose tea is ordinary green tea. Several counties in Jiangnan produce green tea.

Gu Fei smelled the green tea, looked at the quality, and nodded. This was not a good tea. It was probably old tea, not as good as the ordinary tea she bought in the grocery store.

The ordinary tea she bought was 300 wen per catty, and the purchase price must be cheaper, estimated to be around 200 wen.

Then it would only cost about 50 taels of silver to exchange for a good horse.
