Chapter 791 This is the magical oriental leaf from your place.
The Ice Scale Beast hopped and jumped around Murong Jiu, and accidentally bumped into Murong Jiu's calf.
Murong Jiu lost her balance and fell backward!
"Be careful!"
Upon seeing this, Jia Daoshi hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to hug Murong Jiu's waist.
"嘤嘤~"
Murong Jiu blushed and instinctively hugged Jia Daoshi's neck.
"Meow meow!"
The Ice Scale Beast beside them stared wide-eyed with curiosity at the intimate scene between the two.
Just then, Yi Qianxiao's maid, Yinxin, came over: "Young master, Hongshan is back, and this time she brought a treasure merchant from the Western Regions!"
Murong Jiu blushed and stepped out of Jia Daoshi's arms.
Upon hearing that a treasure merchant from the Western Regions had arrived, Jia Daoshi's eyes lit up: "Let's go and meet this treasure merchant."
"Little kitty, I'll show you how to play."
Murong Jiu then began to tease the Ice Scale Beast.
……
Western Eight Countries.
To the west of Dajing lies the Yuezhi of the Western Regions.
Further west of the Yuezhi were the Western Eight Kingdoms.
The legendary Immortal City is located in the Western Eight Kingdoms!
There are many deserts and snow-capped mountains over there. The extreme climate conditions often give rise to a great many natural treasures.
For example, some medicinal herbs that grow specifically in deserts and snow-capped mountains!
These rare and precious materials are quite scarce in the Great Jing Dynasty, but they are very common in the Western Eight Kingdoms.
In addition, the area is vast and rich in resources, but has a small population, so it doesn't need many resources. There are many rare and precious natural treasures there that have been around for a long time.
Especially medicinal herbs.
Jia Daoxian now has an extremely large demand for medicinal herbs. After learning about the situation in the Western Eight Kingdoms, he instructed Yi Qianxiao to organize a team from Xuanhua Company specifically for collecting medicinal herbs and send them to the Western Eight Kingdoms.
This time, Hong Shan, who was by Pei Lao's side, personally led the team, and as expected, they made contact with the largest treasure merchant in the Western Eight Kingdoms!
"Young master! This is Hussein, the manager of the Snow Mountain Shop in the Western Eight Kingdoms. The Snow Mountain Shop is the largest medicinal herb shop in the Western Eight Kingdoms and the most famous shop in the Western Eight Kingdoms!"
In the reception room of the city lord's mansion, after seeing Jia Daoshi arrive, Hong Shan began to introduce him.
"Red Fan Girl, thank you for your hard work."
During this time, Hong Shan had traveled to the plateau, climbed snow-capped mountains, and crossed deserts. She had indeed worked hard, and her face was covered in the marks of time. After expressing his gratitude to Hong Shan, Jia Daoshi turned to look at the merchant Hussein.
Because of the many deserts in the Western Eight Kingdoms, there is a lot of sunshine, and the people there wear a scarf wrapped around their heads.
Moreover, his dark skin reminded Jia Daoshi of people in the Arab world.
Upon seeing that Jia Daoshi was looking at him, Hussein immediately stood up, took off his scarf and hat, and bowed to Jia Daoshi.
According to their custom, a kiss is a proper greeting. When Hussein saw Hong Shan, he tried to kiss her, but Hong Shan kicked him away.
After that one kick, Hussein learned his lesson.
When Jia Daoshi saw Hussein bow, he returned the bow with clasped hands.
"By the way, can he understand what I'm saying?" Jia Daoshi suddenly asked.
Language barriers are also a major challenge in doing business.
"Your Excellency Lord of Mixue Ice City, I, Hussein, can speak the language of your Central Plains!"
Before Hong Shan could speak, Hussein introduced himself first.
This guy has very white teeth.
This is also a characteristic of that country: strong sunlight causes the skin to be dark, but God, in order to be fair, made their teeth very white.
So when they smile, people often focus their attention on their big white teeth.
"That's great! If you can speak our Central Plains dialect, it will make things easier for me."
Although Jia Daoshi could speak English, he hadn't used it in a long time, so it would be even better if the other party could speak Chinese.
"Hahaha!"
They looked at each other and smiled.
"Silverheart, bring Mr. Hussein our finest tea!"
The treasure merchant, of course, came to deliver treasures.
Faced with such a friend, Jia Daoshi naturally had to serve him the best tea!
Soon, the group took their seats, and the enticing aroma of tea began to fill the hall.
“Good! This is your magical Oriental Leaf Tea. We can drink it where we're from, but it's not as fragrant! And just a little bit of this tea can sell for a lot of gold!”
Hussein took a sip of tea and looked on with admiration.
"You flatter me. We have plenty of this kind of tea here. When you go back, I'll pack you a dozen or so pounds so you can enjoy it slowly." Jia Daoshi was very polite.
"Hahaha! Thank you, Mr. Jia! Mr. Jia is so generous!" Hussein laughed heartily upon hearing this.
He traveled a long way to come here to do business.
Hong Shan said that their master needed a great many medicinal herbs, and the more the better, they would accept anything!
They have plenty of that stuff where they live; even dogs wouldn't eat it.
Hussein initially didn't believe such a good thing.
But when they saw Hong Shan take out a cartload of gold bars, a cartload of pearls, and a cartload of top-quality porcelain, Hussein and his partners were stunned.
At that time, one sentence from Hong Shan left a deep impression on Hussein.
“My son-in-law may not have much else, but he is rich. This little bit of gold and pearls is nothing more than a grain of sand in your desert to him!”
This statement is so arrogant it's utterly appalling!
Upon hearing this, they immediately scoffed!
But when they saw the gold, they all fell silent!
Without much hesitation, Hussein decided to come to the Central Plains with Red Fan and establish a deep friendship with Jia Daoshi!
Therefore, after meeting Jia Daoshi in person, Hussein dared not be negligent at all!
Although Jia Daoshi didn't know what had happened at the time, since the other party's attitude was so good and sincere, he naturally had to show the same sincerity in return!
“Mr. Hussein, I’m a very straightforward person. As long as your medicinal herbs are of good quality and the price is right, Mixue Ice Cream will buy as many as you have!”
Jia Daoshi put down his teacup and said calmly.
"How much do you want?" Hussein was still a little nervous.
Jia Daoshi laughed and said, "I told you, we'll take as much as you have. If you're not comfortable with that, we'll sign a contract, and it will be in black and white as proof."
Hussein finally understood: "Mr. Jia is truly domineering!"
"In that case, we will definitely offer you the lowest price and the best quality!"
The two sides quickly reached an agreement!
Next, we'll have tea and chat together to strengthen our friendship.
Of course, Jia Daoshi was also very curious about the customs and culture of the Western Eight Kingdoms, so he asked a few more questions.
"Mr. Jia, in our country, on the snow-capped mountains, there is an oasis. Within the oasis is a palace of the Holy Maiden, where the people who live are all heavenly saints. The men of our Western Eight Kingdoms are all believers of the Holy Maiden Palace. If you have the opportunity to visit our Western Eight Kingdoms, Mr. Jia, you must visit the Holy Maiden Palace. It will surely amaze you!"
When men chat, the conversation inevitably turns to women.
