He really didn't expect that Xiao Jie, a majestic king of Qi, would be so stingy and stingy. He gave himself a golden dagger studded with precious stones, and Xiao Jie gave him a few jars of wine in return. How could he be ashamed.
Xiao Jie pretended not to see the disappointed look on Helian Ba's face, and smiled slightly: "How can you eat meat without wine, I specially prepared the fine wine for the eldest prince, the eldest prince might as well try it."
Of course Helian Ba had drunk the wine from the Central Plains, but he really didn't like it, it was too bland and not satisfying at all, even the spirits from the Western Regions, he always felt that he almost didn't feel like drinking them.
But Xiao Jie's face was not good and he refused to give it to him, so he reluctantly smiled and pretended to be generous: "Then Xiao Wang will not be polite."
After saying that, he shattered the seal with his palm, and a strong aroma of wine instantly poured into his nose, and his eyes widened instantly.
It was the first time in his life that he smelled such a strong aroma of wine, and he couldn't care less about being polite. He raised his head and drank a few swigs, the strong smell of wine flooded his internal organs, so excited that he wiped his mouth and couldn't help saying loudly: " Good wine!"
Ono's expression changed slightly, and he sighed silently in his heart.
In this way, the original plan can only be cancelled.
Helian Ba also suddenly realized that he had slipped his tongue, but the matter had come to an end, and he could only think of other ways later.
At this time, the skin of the roasted whole lamb has been roasted until golden, and the aroma of the meat is getting stronger, presumably it is cooked.
Xiao Jie called the three of them to sit down together, and soon someone put the roasted whole lamb in the middle of the table, and then put a plate and a dagger on each of them.
Helian Ba was amused again: "Unexpectedly, King Qi also knows how our Dihu people eat."
Xiao Jie smiled slightly: "Everyone, please do your own thing, you are welcome."
Helian Ba had been hungry for a long time, so he didn't show politeness to Xiao Jie any more, he directly cut off a large piece of meat from the leg of lamb, and ate it with wine.
Onotu and Helen Tus were a little bit more gentle. They first cut a large piece and put it on a plate, and then cut it into small pieces and put it in their mouths. They also drank a few drinks. It's no wonder that Helen Ba couldn't control the taste of the barbarians.
Seeing their appearance, Xiao Jie also smiled knowingly in his heart.
Tao's restaurant was already selling wine for him, and it sold very well at first, but the sales volume has been declining recently, and the price has dropped again and again, and it is still not very easy to sell.
It was only then that Xiao Jie realized that he had been misled by those time-traveling novels. It is true that the wine brewed in this era is low in alcohol content, but this is precisely the reason why it is popular in the upper class. I just like the slightly drunk feeling brought by low-alcohol wine. That kind of floating feeling will make them burst out of inspiration and improvise poems and songs that will last forever.
The high-strength wine distilled by oneself is indeed enjoyable to drink, but it is easy to get drunk and lose all inspiration. Therefore, many literati do not dare to try it a second time after drinking it once.
But Xiao Jie didn't want to continue to lower the price without a bottom line. Since high-grade wine is not easy to sell in the Central Plains, Xiao Jie naturally thought of selling it to the Hu people. Mobei's winter is very cold, and high-grade wine just needs high-grade wine to keep out the cold.
He played this game today, more or less intending to use Helian Ba's hand to sell his high-end wine that is seriously unsalable.
"Eldest Prince, have you noticed that the mutton roasted by King Qi is more delicious than the ones roasted on our grassland?" Ohno Tu secretly winked at Helian Ba, and suddenly expressed emotion to Helian Ba for no reason.
Helian Ba also noticed Oho's sudden look in his eyes, and understood what he meant, he deliberately laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I tasted it a long time ago, I think King Qi put a lot of salt, our grassland lacks salt, how can Dare to put so much salt."
A prince and a prime minister kept saying that he was short of salt. Xiao Jie didn't understand what they meant, but he just pretended to be confused and said with a smile, "It's fine if you like it. If you like it, you might as well eat more."
Seeing that Xiao Jie refused to accept the move, Ono Tu had no choice but to continue: "I like this dagger very much. I don't know if King Qi can give it to me. I am not afraid that King Qi will make a joke. Although I am a deputy prime minister, the knives at home are already rusted and blunt. It's unbearable, but there has been no new daggers to replace... Hey, there is no way, our grassland is too short of iron."
Xiao Jie sneered in his heart, but he still pretended to be stupid on purpose, and said with a smile: "The vice minister's words are serious, it's just a dagger, take it if you like."
Seeing that Xiao Jie still didn't answer, Da Yetu and Helian Ba looked at each other, and had no choice but to show their cards directly.
It was Helian Ba who spoke first: "King Qi, to tell you the truth, we came here today to ask for something."
"The eldest prince might as well speak directly." Xiao Jie smiled slightly.
Helianba bowed solemnly to Xiao Jie: "Since the King of Qi can persuade His Majesty the Emperor to open the border mutual market, can you help us Dihu one more time and persuade His Majesty the Emperor to allow us to sell salt and iron to Dihu? I really need both of those things."
Da Yetu also bowed solemnly to Xiao Jie, and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor also said that since we, Dihu, are ministers to Daning, the people of Dihu are also His Majesty's subjects, so naturally we should enjoy His Majesty's favor." Enze, please ask the king of Qi to help the people of Dihu, help us Dihu intercede with His Majesty the Emperor, and allow us to sell salt and iron to Dihu."
Lian Heliantuo also bowed solemnly to Xiao Jie: "King Qi please help us Dihu again."
Finally I saw Tu Qiongdao, Xiao Jie couldn't keep pretending to be stupid, just shook his head lightly and said: "The three of you don't need to do such a grand ceremony, to tell you the truth, in fact, I mentioned to the emperor to allow the border cross market to sell salt and iron. It's just that the emperor thinks that the time has not come."
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and Ono asked directly: "Thank you King Qi for your righteous words, but why does His Majesty think that the time has not come?"
Xiao Jie said with a smile: "It's very simple. Since the Helian tribe dominated the grassland, although there has never been a war with me in Daning, there has been constant friction on the border. Not only the father, but many officials in the court are also worried that if they come to you Di Hu sold the salt and iron, once you Di Huma are fat and strong, when your armor is strong and your sword is sharp, you will attack me, Daning..."
As soon as Xiao Jie said these words, the expressions of Helian Ba and the other three changed drastically, after all, these words were more or less embarrassing.
After a while, Ono Tu, who was the first to respond, swore to the sky: "I, Ono Tu, can swear to the sky that Khan and Dihu have no such intentions. The purchase of salt and iron from the Central Plains is only for the welfare of the people of Dihu, and has no meddling in the Central Plains." heart of."
Helian Ba also reacted: "My brother and I can also swear that Father Khan has no such intentions."
Xiao Jie sneered in his heart, if the oath is useful, why do we need the army.
"I naturally believe in the sincerity of your Dihu, but everything needs a process. It is better to open the border trade first, and gradually build trust between the two sides. When the time is right, I will definitely intercede with the father, and then allow the sale of salt and iron to Dihu. .”
Helian Ba and Ono looked at each other silently, they had already talked about this point, and that was the only way to go.
The dinner was still going on, but the three of Helen Ba had lost much of their appetite, and they just ate two bites hastily.
Xiao Jie saw it, and smiled directly: "But although Tie has nothing to do, I can help you."
The eyes of the three brightened instantly. If Ning Chao could let go of selling salt, they would not return empty-handed, and they would have an explanation for Khan.
"I don't know how King Qi will help us." Helian Ba asked eagerly.
Xiao Jie smiled slightly, clapped his hands lightly, and soon a servant brought three bowls and a large teapot.
Xiao Jie bent down and poured a large bowl of milky white liquid for each of the three of them, and then made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "You three might as well try it."
Naturally, they were not worried that Xiao Jie would dare to poison their palace, but they were more or less afraid to drink this bowl of strange milky white liquid.
But Xiao Jie's face still needs to be given. Helian Ba took the first bowl, smelled it first, and smelled a milk fragrance, and a faint fragrance. After hesitating for a moment, he still raised his head and drank it down .
There is a strong milky fragrance in the mouth, and a slight salty taste, in addition to a magical fragrance, the taste is quite good.
Helian Ba's eyes lit up: "Dare to ask King Qi, what is this?"
Xiao Jie smiled slightly: "Milk tea!"
Xiao Jie pretended not to see the disappointed look on Helian Ba's face, and smiled slightly: "How can you eat meat without wine, I specially prepared the fine wine for the eldest prince, the eldest prince might as well try it."
Of course Helian Ba had drunk the wine from the Central Plains, but he really didn't like it, it was too bland and not satisfying at all, even the spirits from the Western Regions, he always felt that he almost didn't feel like drinking them.
