Chapter 1258: People who are amazed by canned fruit

Suoye City is the border city with the furthest defenses in the western region of my country's dynasties, and is also an important town on the Silk Road.

At this time, the Thunder Ye City was not as prosperous as decades later. The rammed earth wall was the main tone of Thunder Ye City. Compared with the Thunder Ye Town (Anxi Protectorate, one of the four towns) that completely imitated the construction of Chang'an City in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the Thunder Ye City at this time was more like a small county town.

The Saiye City is adjacent to the oasis and is built in Yishui. It has a radius of 100 miles and a fertile grass. It is one of the few livable places in the northwest.

Merchants traveling between the East and the West will have a map in their hands. At the center of this map, the location of the Thunder Leaf City is drawn, which shows the importance of this town to the merchants. This oasis has saved many people from despair.

On this day, as usual, Suoye City stayed with many merchants from the Western Regions. These people were waiting for their companions to bring back news from Yutian...

At some point in the afternoon, camel bells rang on the distant hillside, and a camel team slowly walked from the south. Their expressions were anxious and tired, and their blood-filled pupils were proof of traveling all night.

After paying the entrance fee, the Camel Corps looked at the soldiers guarding the door, raised a contemptuous sneer on the corner of their mouths, and said in their hearts: Take it now, hurry up and collect it. When the Tang people's army comes, you will have no chance.

The merchants looked at each other, and under the inexplicable gaze of the soldiers, they walked into the city, and rushed to the hostel where their partners lived.

Gils Khan was a White Hun from India. He worked for the royal family. His main partner was merchants gathered in Suiye City. After going to the city of Khotan, he came back. He looked at the piles of goods outside the hostel and sighed deeply.

"I'm afraid this batch of goods will be smashed into my hands... I don't know how many people in the city have not received the news... If possible, I'd better sell this batch of goods at a low price and exchange for some cost..."

"Gilles Khan, you're back."

Several companions who were in charge of the goods found him and came forward: "How is it, what's the situation in Khotan? Will the war spread here?"

"Curris, you prepare some food and drink for me first. I've been traveling for a day and a night. I can't stand it anymore... Let's find a quiet place to talk about the rest. This time, we're here right."

"Oh!" Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this. A short and strong man with a beard smiled and replied: "It seems that there is good news. Hurry up, we are just having a meal. I have someone cook your favorite hand-catch mutton."

Under the leadership of his companions, Gilles Khan came to the best environment of the hostel. The so-called hostels here have no separate private rooms. They are all like this, with hay laid on the ground and a bed.

The conditions are very simple. There is no window paper around the windows, but they are just covered with dry branches. The hay canopy on the roof is also sparse. When you lie on the ground at night, you can enjoy the stars in the sky before going to bed.

Fortunately, there is a place to keep warm around the Datong room. The temperature difference between day and night is large. If you don’t light a bonfire at night, you can sleep in such a Datong room and get up the next day and be sure to get sick.

Giles Khan and his group were quite large, and they were able to fill this Datong room. They usually eat and sleep here, eat and live together, and take care of each other.

Several leaders took the lead and occupied the cleanest corner, and Giles Khan sat in the main seat without hesitation, enjoying the service of his friends.

After taking a bite of meat and drinking a little water, Giles Khan nodded at them with a smile.

"I have something good to bring to you." He took out a can from his backpack behind him, and wrote a few words such as [Produced by Shuofang] and [Crystal Pear Can] on it. As for the production date and shelf life... who cares?

Gilles Khan first asked his friends to pass it around, and finally returned to him, he recalled the way the salesman opened the can. He easily opened the can of pears that cost him a silver coin.

"Take your bowls over."

"Gilles Khan, what is this?"

"You will know after eating it. I believe you will be amazed."

He said, using a wooden spoon to distribute the cans evenly to several companions present, with an average of two pieces of flesh per person and a spoonful of sweet water. It was not much, but it was definitely enough to taste it.

"Eat, why are you watching me?"

"Ah, oh, oh...sigh...um, it's so sweet!"

"Hahaha, how about it, it tastes good."

Giles Khan laughed happily, and when he saw his companions' expressions of surprise, he seemed to see what he looked like when he first tried. He looked like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, and was a little shy for no reason.

"It's so delicious. What's this? Why is it so sweet?"

"Yeah, yeah, Giles Khan, what is this, is it a delicacy from the East?"

Gilleshan smiled and spread his hands: "In fact, I don't understand the specific ones. My language is not good enough to understand all Chinese. However, there is one thing I am very clear about...that is, this thing called canned will definitely make us a fortune."

Several companions looked at each other and then cheered at the same time. A happy mood spread throughout the Chase. Almost everyone began to look forward to how much wealth this thing called canned food could bring to them.

Giles Khan looked at his companions cheering and picked up a sheep bone and chewed it. At the same time, he was secretly considering that if the spices were processed as soon as possible, he found that the Shuofang Chamber of Commerce also had spices for sale, and there were many types and low prices...

He told several of his companions about his thoughts, and the companions were stunned when they heard this. The man named Curry touched Giles Khan's thigh: "Actually, we can buy these spices for the Western Turks. The price is cheaper and we can recover funds in three days."

"Western Turkic..." Gils Khan nodded: "Okay, this matter should be better than later. The matter in Khotan City must be hidden. The Shuofang Chamber of Commerce is too big to do, and we must sell the spices before they are known."

"Okay, leave this matter to me... Gilles Khan, tell us quickly, besides canned food, there are other good things there. Yesterday I met a merchant who claimed to be from the Tang Dynasty. He said that their cloth was very cheap. When you went to Yutian City, did you see a merchant who bought cloth..."
