Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 49 Purchase of Grain
Cheng Yaojin is a dog with a special nose.

Just a little gross.

Because he sniffed and smelled Qin Tian's face, there was the soup dumpling juice that Tang Rong had put on as a joke just now, and the aroma was transmitted from the soup.

If it wasn't for Qin Tian taking a quick step back, Cheng Yaojin would have to gnaw it up.

"Uncle Cheng, this is the soup dumpling invented by my nephew, and I'm about to send it to you for a taste."

Qin Tian quickly explained, he was afraid that if he didn't explain that Cheng Yaojin's tongue could lick it, the feeling would be sour.

Cheng Yaojin had never heard of soup dumpling, but the smell of the soup was so good, he grabbed Qin Tian's shoulder and said, "Let's go, let me, old Cheng, taste it."

Qin Tian was directly dragged to the kitchen by Cheng Yaojin. When he came to the kitchen, many people were making steamed buns. These steamed buns were going to be sold by Qin Tian in Chang'an City.

A lot of steamed buns had already been steamed, and they were steaming outside. Cheng Yaojin didn't think much about them, thinking they were soup dumplings, picked one up and took a bite.

After taking this bite, he bit off half of the whole steamed bun, and after eating it, although he didn't feel the aroma just now, the soft and sweet steamed bun was also very delicious. It was the best steamed bun he had ever eaten .

Involuntarily, Cheng Yaojin ate the rest in one gulp, and then grabbed two more. Seeing that Cheng Yaojin was only eating but not talking, Niu Jinda felt a little greedy, so he quickly took two to eat.

After eating this, I couldn't stop.

Qin Tian stood at the side, but smiled very strangely. The two of them were excited to eat. When they saw Qin Tian's smile, they immediately looked at each other, and then grabbed Qin Tian.

"What are you laughing at, kid?"

Qin Tiandao: "Uncles, these are steamed buns invented by my nephew, here are the soup dumplings."

Speaking of which, Qin Tian opened a drawer of soup dumplings. The soup dumplings are small and exquisite, and you can smell a scent as soon as you open them. Bao, I still couldn't help but pick it up and eat it.

After picking up the soup dumpling, Cheng Yaojin took a bite first, and the soup overflowed immediately after taking a bite, but the soup dumpling tasted so good that he didn't care that the soup dripped from his hands. , and ate the rest in one bite.

But when he ate the second one, he learned to be smarter, like Xiaoqing, he stuffed it in with one mouthful, Xiaoqing had a small mouth, so it was a bit difficult, but Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda had big mouths, so he stuffed it in with one mouthful. It had no effect on them at all.

A drawer of soup dumplings was quickly disposed of by the two of them.

"Boy, bring me another drawer, let me eat to my heart's content."

Cheng Yaojin had already eaten a lot, but he was still not full. Qin Tian felt that he was going to be poor.

After taking another drawer, the two finally ate.

"The soup dumplings are really delicious, but the hands are full of soup, alas, there is a fly in the ointment."

Qin Tian smiled wryly, and was about to tell them the correct way to eat soup dumplings, but suddenly thought of Tang Rong's joke, his wife's joke, he could accept it.

But if Cheng Yaojin got angry and wanted to smear soup on his face, it would be too disgusting.

So thinking about it, I didn't say how to eat the soup dumpling.

"If the two uncles are finished eating, let's wash it up quickly. Let's talk about the robbers. Have those people caught them?" Qin Tian knew that the two of them came to him so early because they must have been robbed of toilet water.

After being reminded by Qin Tian, ​​the two of them remembered the purpose of this trip.

"The gang of robbers were caught. In fact, they are not considered robbers. They are merchants from the Western Regions. They came to Chang'an City to do business and lost money. They saw that toilet water was easy to sell, but they had no money to buy it. That's why they thought of robbing our toilet water. Take it to the Western Regions to sell."

Cheng Yaojin wiped his hands, and Niu Jinda said again: "Mr. Yi recently discussed the military situation with the King of Qin, so I have no time to tell you that the goods have been brought to the store in Dongshi, but those merchants from the Western Regions have not severely punished them. , has been repatriated."

The Tang Dynasty was founded a few years ago, and it is now strengthening its trade with the countries in the Western Regions. The Silk Road is not easy to travel at this time. If they punish the merchants in the Western Regions again, they will not come to Chang'an if the news spreads to the countries in the Western Regions. up.

Therefore, although those Western Region merchants made mistakes, the court decided to spare them.

Qin Tian was also aware of this, fortunately the goods had already been found, so he didn't think he had suffered much loss, so he didn't pursue the matter further, but asked: "The righteous father is discussing the military situation with the King of Qin, but there is another war going to happen?"

"You don't need to worry about this." Cheng Yaojin didn't dare to reveal the military situation. After saying a word, the two looked at each other, then pointed to the steamed buns and soup dumplings and said: "After these are pulled to Chang'an City, Send some to each of our houses."

After finishing speaking, the two of them didn't stay in the manor any longer, and rushed out again in a hurry. In fact, the two of them were on business and passed by here. Otherwise, they just talked about the situation of toilet water being robbed. .

But after they came, the two felt that the trip was worthwhile. The taste of the soup dumplings was a bit unforgettable after the two of them ate it.

It was only when the two of them walked out that Cheng Yaojin suddenly patted his head: "I just ate, but I forgot to ask the Qin family boy, what are these soup dumplings made of?"

"It doesn't matter what he does, as long as it tastes good, let's go quickly, King Qin's order must not be delayed."

The two hurried away, Qin Tian was here, frowning in thought, and after a while, he immediately called Uncle Fu.

"Uncle Fu, how long will it take for the wheat in the field to be harvested?"

"Why did the young master suddenly ask this?" My young master had never asked about things in the fields before, so Fu Bo was very curious.

"Don't worry about why I asked, just answer quickly." Qin Tian felt that Uncle Fu was good at everything, but sometimes he had too many questions.

Uncle Fu snorted: "In some places, the wheat is ripening early, and harvesting has already begun. If there is no ripe one, it may be almost the same in these two days. After the day after tomorrow, I am afraid that the harvest will start."

Hearing that someone had already started harvesting wheat, Qin Tian's expression changed slightly, and he ordered: "Uncle Fu, if you find someone to buy grain these few days, even if it's a bit more expensive than the market price, you should buy as much as possible for me."

Now they have made a lot of money buying toilet water and mosquito coils. Even if they buy food, there is no problem at all, but Fu Bo is very puzzled: "Master, we have enough food to eat, why do we buy it?"

Qin Tian wanted to smoke someone.

"Whatever it costs, buy as much as you want, the more the better, and free up all the warehouses in the manor, and try to fill up the warehouses as much as possible."

Hearing that the warehouse was going to be filled, Faber clicked his tongue immediately: "Master, to fill the warehouse, we need at least ten thousand shi of grain. Do we have to use up so much?"
