The waiter, who came to add more porridge, saw the opportunity to ingratiate himself and quickly introduced, "This caravan comes from the northwestern border, traveling year-round between JingDu and some tribes in the northwest. They mostly use cheap cloth, pottery, and farm tools to exchange for precious furs, medicinal herbs, and gems from those remote and uncivilized tribes. Then they transport these goods to Jing City to resell for a substantial amount of Silver Coin."
Mo Yan, detecting no envy in the waiter's tone, asked out of curiosity, "They earn perhaps more Silver Money in one trip than you could in your entire lifetime, aren't you tempted?"
