Chapter 36 Spice Trading
As a core member of the Holy Dao Society, Wang Zhi naturally also received gifts from Su Ze. At the last exchange meeting, Su Ze took [Twenty-Eight Nights of Crisp Hexiang] as a gift and gave half a catty to each of the backbones in the meeting.
As a result, it is good now, this guy has probably tasted the sweetness, and a few days ago he actually called excitedly, and he wanted to order a ton in one go. What else is said that the price is negotiable, that is, one or two 100 yuan is no problem.
A ton? Malagobi's is a stone or a brick! Lao Tzu is not a special spice maker! Su Ze was so angry that he almost threw away the phone.
Later, Su Ze thought that Wang Zhi was a smuggler and had some special channels that he didn't have. Only then did he relent, and reluctantly agreed to provide him with 300 catties of [Twenty-eight Nights of Crisp and Fragrant] first. Su Ze declared: It's okay to give you spices for free, but there is a condition, you need to help make some special items for Maozi.
Wang Zhi was still very confident at first, saying "As long as it's not an atomic bomb or an aircraft carrier, you can do whatever you want!" But when he knew what Su Xue wanted, he was still shocked. Because Su Xue wants an anti-materiel gun!
Wang Zhi's ostensible identity is the owner of an import and export company. But this is just a disguise, don't look at him with dough and dough, with a simple face, but the identity of this guy is the leader of a smuggling syndicate. His gang specialized in smuggling activities on the Sino-Russian border, selling Chinese textiles, medicines, household appliances, food, and other products to Maozi, and at the same time buying all kinds of heavy industrial products and natural resources such as ores from Maozi, and even acting as a human intermediary to introduce Russian Yanmar to China.
What makes many peers envious is that Wang Zhi's guy actually got on the line with the official and assisted the relevant departments in handling some things that were inconvenient for the official to come forward. Therefore, as long as he does not go too far, the official will turn a blind eye to his smuggling activities. There is another reason, that is, his smuggling is only aimed at Maozi's side, and his activities in China are still relatively well-behaved, and even if he wants to investigate, he can't find any major problems.
Of course, although it is not his job to smuggle arms, it is not without a path. So for Wang Zhi, it was just a surprise. Although the anti-materiel gun is a little troublesome, with his channels, it is not difficult to get a dozen. Today's Russia is not the superpower it used to be, as long as it is willing to spend money, even planes, tanks, and artillery can be bought back privately, not to mention just anti-materiel guns.
If it were a different person, this matter would have stopped, and Wang Zhi would not have taken such a risk. However, he and Su Ze are very familiar with each other, and he knows that with Su Ze's character, it is impossible to be a terrorist, not to mention that he needs this spice very much, and it is estimated that it will be needed for a long time.
In this case, both sides found a barely plausible excuse and did the business. Su Ze claimed that he was going to Southeast Asia to hunt for fresh ingredients, while Wang Zhi claimed that he wanted to export it to Russia.
Although both sides knew that this excuse was a deception, they were very smart and did not follow the question. It's just an excuse to find each other under the stairs, and they pinch their noses and admit it.
The two finally reached an agreement: Su Ze used 300 catties of [Twenty-eight Su Su Hexiang] in exchange for a set of Russian-made V94 anti-materiel guns and accessories provided by Wang Zhi, as well as 500 rounds of ammunition. In the future, every month, Su Ze provided Wang Zhi with 100 catties of [Twenty-eight Susu Crisp Hexiang] at a price of 100 yuan and a tael, and Wang Zhi was responsible for providing various special items at the international market price when Su Ze needed it, and the price was deducted from the payment.
Of course, this is a gentleman's agreement, and neither side has the intention of writing it in writing, and each has its own secrets.
Su Xue did this because he also considered that there must be another stable source of weapons, and the fierce creatures in the cave world were too terrifying. Relying only on the batch of arms bought in Kokang last time, it is estimated that it will not be able to support it for long. And it is also very inconvenient for him to go abroad to buy it by himself, where is the "fat crab" delivered to the door comfortably.
For this transaction, Su Ze is still very relieved. Wang Zhi's guy is more concerned about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, but he can't talk about it if he doesn't want to, if the **** line has a bad reputation, he won't be able to get mixed up.
And this guy's own ass is not clean, and even if there is a problem, it is a bigger crime of smuggling arms. What's more, he wasn't worried about Wang Zhi's leakage, his arms were all hidden in the Cave World, even if the relevant departments suspected it, they couldn't find physical evidence.
............................................................................................................
Afternoon, August 8, 2009.
After Su Ze spent a week making 300 catties of spices for Wang Zhi, Wang Zhi also personally brought a new set of V94 anti-materiel guns. Wang Zhi got the spices he urgently needed, and Su Ze also got the anti-equipment gun he had been looking forward to for a long time, and everyone was overjoyed.
So this time when he entered the cave, Su Ze brought the V94 anti-materiel gun. With this kind of firepower support, it also made him a lot bolder. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to come and dig for rock salt, those wyverns weren't hospitable.
Of course, just to be on the safe side, he still opened the space-time door a few meters away from the rock wall, and the other end led directly to his family's cellar. He told the three dogs to be vigilant, and as soon as they spotted the wyvern coming, they immediately ran back.
He put the excavated rock salt into a trolley, filled it with a cart, and pushed it back to pile it in the cellar. He sweated all morning, transported a full 30 truckloads of salt, and piled up the boss in the cellar. He calculated, according to the average of 200 catties per car, this time he dug about 3 tons, which is enough for the restaurant to use for a year.
Last time, he took the rock salt he brought back to the restaurant and tried it, and everyone's response was very good. The rock salt that has been fused, filtered, and recrystallized is not only no worse than the commonly used table salt, but also surpassed.
Dishes made with this salt, especially kimchi, have an indescribable pleasant taste. Especially when paired with the mushroom soup, the taste is simply amazing!
The [East Kitchen Residence] restaurant is his main source of income, and no one will be afraid of having a lot of money, especially the cultivators. It is not unreasonable for the four elements of cultivation to be "wealthy", and "wealth" to rank first, and it is unimaginable to cultivate the truth once it is spent on it. If you don't have any money, you can fix a bird.
It is for the simple reason of looking for more money that Su Xue will take the risk of mining salt.
"Huh~~~****** I'm finally done. Tomorrow, I will call them to pull them back and purify ......" After Su Xue put the cart and other tools away, he returned to the cave again.
This time, he was going to look further afield. The ring he picked up last time had always made him feel uneasy. He wanted to find the "human" settlement here as soon as possible and confirm what level of civilization the other party was in.
Su Xue looked up at the sky and said to himself, "It seems that these flying dragons are very punctual." Rock salt is collected every six days. ”
Su Ze is a very cautious person, before deciding to come to the salt mining, he found a very hidden stone crack opposite the rock wall, and placed a smart digital camera equipped with a reinforced battery pack in it, according to the time spent on the last Feilong salt mining, he set every 20 minutes, the camera will automatically turn on, take a photo in the direction of the rock wall.
Yesterday, when he retrieved the camera, he discovered the pattern of salt harvesting by the dragons. Twice in a row, every six days, two wyverns came to collect salt. Of course, there are some other animals that come to collect rock salt, but these guys are also afraid of the smell left by the wyvern, and they all take a handful and leave.
But not every speculation can be successful, and there is an animal that looks like a hippopotamus and it is unlucky. It happened to bump into the bipedal wyvern who came to mine salt, and the result was naturally tragic, and the "hippopotamus" regretted it in the wyvern's belly.
