People really don't want to work overtime in Daxia

Chapter 66 If the cook doesn’t steal the grain, there will be no harvest.
Yu Qing went back to the map and looked it up, and finally found the small country in the northwest of Daxia, which basically had no border with Daxia, and there was Goryeo in the middle.

The mountain is high?It is true that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. If the water far away cannot quench the thirst of the near, we have to rely on Korea in the end!
"How about I give you a task to collect some cattle and sheep from Korea?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Guan quickly waved his hands and said, "Cows and sheep are their lives, why would they sell them to us? Besides, most of them barter for things so they don't use money. Their free-range cattle can't be lowered at all!"

"It's not farming. Cows can be used in many ways. Besides farming, they can also be used to milk cows. Do you know why the Goryeo cavalry are so strong? That's because of the milk! Besides, it's also good to make dried meat as military rations. We can reserve some in advance." !"

"But...Brother, we probably have to use grain in exchange for it, but the potatoes haven't been harvested yet, and the surplus grain isn't enough to buy cattle and sheep!"

Yu Qing said meaningfully, "They don't just harvest food. What do you think the Koreans lack besides food?"

"Other than food, salt, silk, and tea seem to be in short supply!"

Yu Qing said with a smile, "Then use the salt first. Recently, my elder brother has done a lot of salt production, and the Central Plains won't be able to use it once!"

Early the next morning, Yu Qing had already arranged for soldiers to bring a batch of refined salt to find Shen Guan.

Shen Guan, who had not yet woken up, was woken up by a knock on the door, "What's going on? What happened?"

The leader cupped his fists and said, "Sir, I'm Li Er! My hundred-man team will accompany you to Goryeo!"

It was Li Er who had been guarding Nan Xiangzhong before. He was promoted to centurion when he came back. This was also his first mission since he was promoted to centurion, and he was very dedicated!
"So early?" Shen Guan frowned and said, "Are you leaving today?"

Li Er nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, the refined salt has also been shipped, and we can leave at any time!"

"If it is later, we are afraid that it will snow in Goryeo, and it will be difficult for us to come back!"

Shen Guan had no choice but to nod his head, it seemed that he had to set off today, if he was lucky, he would try to come back for the New Year!

When I went out, I saw the entire team of soldiers standing on both sides of the convoy, wearing clean armor and shining big swords across their waists. Everyone stood there full of energy, and they were all elites at first glance!

Shen Guan frowned and said to Li Er, "Everyone changes clothes and goes to Korea in armor, looking for death? We are going to trade, not to fight!"

Li Erruo thought for a while, and led the crowd to change his clothes. The armor was left in the barracks, and he only carried the weapons. It is normal for the merchant's convoy to have weapons.

After leaving Hope City, Shen Guan looked back and secretly made up his mind to come back for the New Year. He barely lived in the mansion given by Yu Qing for a few days, and the servants stayed there longer than he did.

You have to leave as soon as you come back. The donkeys in the production team are not so tired!
Shen Guan left, while Yu Qing was thinking about what to do to make money. The most famous thing in Hope City is refined salt, but this kind of variety is too single, and the price of exporting is expensive, not as cheap as in the territory, only the dignitaries eat it rise.

In the past, there were merchants who went to the salt shop to buy salt, but reported directly to Yu Qing without ID.

Cement and gunpowder can't be sold now. Yu Qing made up his mind to sell cement and gunpowder when he built cannons, or he would shoot himself in the foot.

Is it necessary to develop new things? There are many people planting tea trees on the mountains outside the tea city, but the taste is really hard to swallow.

Yu Qing felt that the tea An Guangze served him before was to disgust himself, the airborne head, so he directly ordered the servants to bring the tea, and he wanted to try again.

Soon the tea was delivered, and as soon as the lid was opened, oily flowers of unknown oil floated on it, and the water inside was so turbid that the tea leaves could no longer be seen clearly.

At this time, Yu Qing suddenly realized that it was not An Guangze's fault!This is the way of drinking in this era. To make tea and make tea is to add something to cook together, and the whole Northeast is stewed randomly!
Yu Qing thought, if fried tea appeared, wouldn't it crush the pot of soup?Ren bought some fresh tea and brought back a large basket.

Yu Qing nodded in satisfaction. I am afraid that I will conduct many experiments, and I am afraid that I will consume a lot of things. This is not like the system, which can be integrated as soon as I learn it. I have to follow the general method in memory to make it.

Seeing the dewy tea leaves, Yu Qing directly spread them all on the ground. There was nothing to dry, so they could only be dried by God.

In the afternoon, Yu Qing came out and looked at the tea leaves he had dried. He was instantly shocked. After almost half a day of drying, he thought that the water would evaporate and become dry. Unexpectedly, he forgot about the cold weather and almost all of them were frozen together.

"Fortunately I didn't do too much, otherwise it would have been a waste!"

Yu Qing found a room and lit a brazier. Feeling that the temperature was not bad, he directly spread the remaining tea leaves in the room.

After one afternoon, Yu Qing took a look at the tea in his hand and ordered it. This method seemed to be good. He picked up a handful and put it in front of his nose to smell it, but there was no smell of fireworks.

The next step seemed to be speculation, and Yu Qing went directly to the kitchen of the City Lord's Mansion with the tea in his arms.

The mellow cook saw that his lord had come to the kitchen, and thought that Yu Qing hadn't eaten tonight and came looking for something to eat.

The cook knelt on the ground and said, "The villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die, please forgive me!"

Yu Qing was startled as soon as he entered the door. What's going on?Plead guilty when I come here?What happened? There's nothing wrong with the food lately. It's still as bad as before, not worse.

"Do you want me to cook some food for you again?" The cook carefully looked at Yu Qing's face, but Yu Qing's face turned dark instantly as soon as the words came out.

Let’s do something new, now that Yu Qing doesn’t have much pursuit of food, why do you still want to show me new cuisines?
"That's not the case!" Yu Qinggang was about to let the cook out so that he could make tea by himself.

Unexpectedly, when the cook heard Yu Qing say this, his heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat ran down his head. His back was soaked in cold sweat at this time of the cold winter, and he yelled in his heart that it was not good!
Gritting his teeth as if he had made up his mind, he said, "My lord, I. I am guilty! Please punish me, my lord!"

Just as Yu Qing put down the tea in his hand, he was taken aback when he heard what the cook said, huh?What does this mean, it seems something is wrong?
Yu Qing pretended to be annoyed and said, "Tell me, do you know what happened to you?"

The cook was sweating profusely, his body trembling slightly, and said in a low voice, "The little one stole food from the kitchen?"

Stealing food?It's not a big deal. You know, if the cook doesn't steal the grain, it's not a big deal. Yu Qing thought about it and didn't say anything.

Seeing Yu Qing's appearance, the cook yelled in his heart, it seems that his lord knows other things, and now his heart is pounding, he wonders what Yu Qing has discovered!
