Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

When Chu Mo heard this, he burst out laughing: "It's not a difficult thing for me. I just need a pound of salt. Just give it to them."

"Sir, it's not a pound, it's 6 pounds."

Lu Tuoding on the side quickly corrected him.

Chu Mo glanced at Lu Tuoding coldly and said loudly: "In my eyes, there is no difference between one pound and six pounds."

The sound instantly attracted the attention of several strong Miao men over there.

When they saw Yang Paifeng take out a cloth bag from under the donkey and pour out a small bag of refined salt, their eyes were so wide that they almost dropped to the ground.

A few months ago, they might not have known about refined salt.

However, when a group of officers and soldiers passed by before, in order to open up the road here, they took out a small bag of refined salt as tolls.

It was then that they were lucky enough to see this thing called refined salt.

As for what this refined salt tastes like, let alone them, even the few directors who got the refined salt would probably be reluctant to take it out and taste it. They should all donate it to the clan.

Thinking of this, several strong men looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally one of them pushed out and walked towards Chu Mo.

"Distinguished guests, my name is Bo Jinsu, and I am their team leader. I wonder if you are going to trade in the market this time?"

The strong man said to Chu Mo in a very bad and weird accent.

Chu Mo thought about it for a long time, and then he understood the meaning of the other party's words, shook his head and said:

"No, I'm just passing through here. I want to go to Leizhou City from here. I just don't want to take a detour, so I have to go through here."

Maybe the other party didn't understand what Chu Mo said, or maybe the other party's Chinese learning was limited and he couldn't understand the meaning of the words after a long time of thinking about it.

Finally, it was through Lu Tuoding's translation that I finally understood the meaning.

Hearing that the other party was not here to trade, Bo Jinsu's face clearly showed a look of regret, and then he showed a look of struggle. Finally, he said sheepishly:

"Sir, you are passing by, so I can't ask you to pay so much toll. However, the refined salt you have is really important to us. I wonder if you can sell some to us."

Hearing that the other party wanted the refined salt in his hand, Chu Mo's eyes flashed, and he finally nodded and said:

"I can sell half of the refined salt I bring to you, but I won't trade with you. I want to trade with your clan leader."

After listening to Lu Tuoding's translation, Bo Jinsu said with obvious displeasure on his face:

"Guest, our clan leader is not someone who can meet anyone he wants. Although your experience is very important to us, if you want to use this to meet our clan leader, then forget it."

After saying that, he snorted coldly, completely losing his previous attitude.

Chu Mo glanced at Lu Tuoding suspiciously.

The latter shook his head at him, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

Seeing this situation, Chu Mo thought for a while and continued:

"Brother, since I can't see your clan leader, is it possible for me to meet your clan leader?"

"You want to see our clan elder?"

"Yes, if you are interested in the refined salt I have, then I think we might be able to cooperate in the future."

"what do you mean?"

After hearing Chu Mo say that they could cooperate, Bo Jinsu looked at Chu Mo nervously, waiting for his answer.

Chu Mo smiled slightly, then nodded and said: "As you think, I have countless refined salts in my hands that I want to trade with you."

After getting the answer he wanted, Bo Jinsu's eyes lit up instantly.

He turned around and said a few words to the other tribesmen, and then stretched out his hand to Chu Mo in a gesture of invitation.

This time, Chu Mo did not refuse, and handed Yang Paifeng the salt in his hand directly, and then followed him towards the market.

While on the mountain, Chu Mo saw people coming and going in the market, which was very lively.

But when I got to the market and participated in it myself, I realized that it was not as prosperous as I thought.

There were indeed people coming and going on the street, but all of them were in a hurry. Occasionally, one or two people doing business would quickly complete the transaction and then disperse, rarely staying in place for long.

Although the shops on both sides of the road all have their doors open, looking from the outside, there are not many products inside.

There are even some shops that are dark inside except for the open doors. Upon closer inspection, they are actually empty.

On the contrary, there are several streets opposite. Although there are also people coming and going, they are not as eager as here. Moreover, there are some shops standing at the door of the shops over there, obviously soliciting customers.

The two sides form a sharp contrast.

Although he was curious, seeing that Bo Jinsu had no intention of explaining, it was hard for Chu Mo to inquire.Soon, the group came to a row of bamboo buildings.

Bo Jinsu said a few words to the guards guarding the door, and then put the bag of refined salt in his hand against it.

The guard opened the bag and looked at Chu Mo and his group in surprise, then quickly ran upstairs.

Not long after, the guard hurried back and said a few words to Bo Jinsu.

After Bo Jinsu heard this, he immediately looked at Chu Mo happily and said, "The clan elders welcome your arrival. Now please come up and discuss it in detail."

Seeing that the other party only asked him to go up, but did not say whether others could go up, Chu Mo suddenly hesitated.

Seeing this situation, how could Bo Jinsu not know what he was thinking.

He hurriedly asked the guard who was passing the news.

The guard shook his head and pointed at Chu Mo.

When Lu Tuoding heard this, he immediately came to Chu Mo and said:

"Sir, they said you are the only one allowed to go up, and we are told to wait below."

At this time, Bo Jinsu also ended the conversation with the guards, looked at Chu Mo with an apologetic look and said:

"Guest, I'm sorry. I tried my best, but our clan leader only saw one person during roll call, so..."

The other party didn't finish the rest of the words, but Chu Mo also knew what it meant. Wasn't it just to let him go to negotiate on other people's territory alone?

Bah, don’t even think about who I am, Chu Mo. Have you never heard that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall? Since the other party is not sincere, then if you go up yourself, wouldn’t it be like a sheep entering a tiger’s mouth.

Thinking of this, Chu Mo snorted coldly, clasped his fists towards Bo Jinsu and said, "Brother, since you don't welcome us, forget it and just treat me as passing by."

As he spoke, he said to the people around him: "They don't welcome us, so I think we'd better leave."

With that said, he turned and left on the way he came.

Seeing that Chu Mo was leaving, Bo Jinsu immediately became anxious.

When the guards on the side saw this, without saying a word, they rushed forward and blocked the path of Chu Mo and his party.

"Our clan elders want to see you, if you know what you are like, just follow me in and don't force us to do anything."

The pronunciation is correct and the pronunciation is round, and he speaks standard Chinese.

Chu Mo even suspected that his Chinese was not as good as others.
