To be more precise, Zhang Feng's gaze was fixed on the few weeds in the bundle of vanilla.
Zhang Feng had already been extremely vexed by the matter of the Immortal Cream.
But now, his thoughts had instantly shifted from the Immortal Cream to the grass.
"How much is this?"
When the Hu merchant saw Zhang Feng speak, he instantly became so excited that even his curved beard trembled. "Sir Dean, if you like it, this bundle and this cart will only cost you five thousand strings of cash!"
Zhang Feng looked in the direction that the Hu merchant was pointing. Under a tree not far away, on a cart, there were three bundles of dried vanilla. To be more precise, it was a type of large-leafed grass that Zhang Feng was looking at.
Looking at this thing, Zhang Feng felt a bit of heartache. In an instant, the scene of him hiding in the toilet to avoid his teacher's smoking appeared before his eyes.
Under everyone's incredulous gazes, Zhang Feng took out a stack of banknotes. With a glance, it seemed to be around a hundred taels of silver. The Hu merchant was so frightened that he knelt down and thanked him.
As for Zhang Feng, he indifferently walked to the handcart. He did his best to make himself appear less agitated as he casually fiddled with the hay. In the end, he placed his hand on an empty piece of tobacco, which was the bundle of vanilla in the Hu merchant's arms. He asked, "Is this also vanilla?"
The Hu merchant was stunned for a moment before saying, "This is not vanilla. You also know that the journey from the outside world to the Tang Dynasty is more than a thousand li. This kind of grass is very good at absorbing water and resisting moisture. Moreover, the pungent smell on it can double the fragrance of vanilla. Thus, this little one often wraps this kind of grass on top of vanilla …"
"Do you have seeds?"
"The seeds of this kind of grass?"
Zhang Feng took out a piece of tobacco and looked at it.
The Hu merchant didn't understand what Zhang Feng meant. After thinking for a while, he rummaged around in a linen bag in front of the cart for a long time. Only then did he take out a large handful and hand it over to Zhang Feng.
"Since you like it, it just so happens that I collected the seeds of this grass when I was harvesting the herbs. I haven't had the time to put them at home yet. If you like them, I can give them all to you."
As the Hu merchant spoke, he directly took out the things inside the cloth belt and gave half a bag of tobacco to Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng forced himself to calm down. "Very good. How much did I give you just now?"
Zhang Feng looked at the banknotes in the Beard's hand and felt a bit of heartache. Just now, he was so excited that he directly took out a bunch of banknotes and forgot how much it was. At this time, the Beard heard him and said, "There's a total of three hundred taels."
Zhang Feng interrupted him and continued to ask, "Do you have a lot of these things over there?"
"Many, they are all over the mountain." The bearded man answered truthfully. After all, he had met a rich man, how could he dare to neglect him?
Moreover, he was a noble viscount of the Tang Dynasty and the Dean of the Academy. He did not dare to neglect him.
I need this kind of grass. As you can see, my academy is being built. I need this kind of grass that is strong in absorbing water and moisture-proof. Go back now. I don't want any herbs. You said that you have a lot of them. I want a lot of them now. You should be able to make a lot of money. How much do you think I can buy with this money? "
The Beard was a little confused.
These were things that even cows and horses would not eat on weekdays.
What on earth did this Lord of the Tang Dynasty want to do?
Did he want so much?
But he did not have time to think too much about it.
After all, everyone knew what happened on the mountain now. The Hu merchant did not even think about it and said, "If it's the honorable Dean, you can wait. Within three days, I will collect all the herbs from all the merchants in Chang 'an. For the time being, there may be more than a hundred catties. You can use it first. After a month, the money is enough to buy all the herbs in our tribe!"
"How much?"
"At least a million catties!"
"Well, if there is really so much, you can send them all. I want them all. When the time comes, I will give you another hundred taels. How about that?"
When the Hu merchant heard this, he was so excited that his teeth were chattering. He hurriedly bowed his head and kowtowed.
"The Dean is really benevolent and righteous. You are the savior of my tribe!"
Zhang Feng did not want to talk nonsense with him.
The point was that now, when the merchants saw that Zhang Feng had taken the most common herb and had taken a fancy to this inconspicuous herb, they all surrounded him crazily.
At this time, Zhang Feng regretted not bringing Gao Kan with him.
That guy was big and burly. If he did not speak, he only needed to stand there and he would be a natural bodyguard!
But it was too late to say anything now.
Zhang Feng could only admit defeat. Holding a large pile of tobacco, he said with a solemn expression, "Everyone, I still have something important to do today. If you come across any treasures tomorrow, you can come here. I will come back tomorrow. How about that?"
Without waiting for anyone to react, Zhang Feng scampered off.
As he ran, the smell of tobacco filled the tip of his nose. Zhang Feng laughed so hard that his teeth could not be contained.
Good stuff, this was really good stuff.
He had a premonition that once this thing came out, it would be...
Who would be the first big smoker?
Not to mention anything else.
At the very least.
He had not smelled such a tempting smell for almost a year!
He really wanted this thing too much.
Big cigarettes, this was a good thing to comfort the loneliness in the middle of the night.
It was a rare treasure.
It was a treasure that belonged to men.
