The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 221 Strange Plants and Beasts

In the early morning of the next day, not long after the city gate opened, Yuan Laoer and Yuan Laosan returned to the uncle's mansion.

Yuan Er Er is dull but not stupid, how could he be willing to find such a child bride-in-law for his son?

He only asked Fan Qinghe: "Do you want to go back to your mother's house with your eldest brother?"

At that time, Fan Qinghe only felt that her face was hot. She was flattered by her sister-in-law for half a month's arrogance, and was mercilessly beaten by the people of Yuan's mansion.

The unscrupulous Yuan Laosan took his wife back to the room, closed the door and scolded:
"Aren't you stupid? It's very easy for the third and fourth heads to be honored by their uncles, and they can barely be regarded as honorable offshoots.

Marrying the daughter of your eldest brother's family, will you get ten miles of red makeup?Can you still get the support of the Yue family?
Could it be that you two sisters are not used to the rich life of this uncle's mansion?
How about?Let's leave the maids and mothers at the house, and you and I can go back to Dali Village to live!
At least our family has a big green brick yard in the village, so we can be regarded as a respectable family in the village! "

Fan Qingju tugged on Yuan Laosan's sleeve, crying in fright: "I'm getting used to it, I'm getting used to it, I won't listen to my sister-in-law's nonsense anymore, woo woo, my son's father, don't drive me back to the village!"

They didn't give their daughter-in-law any face at all. The two brothers tried their best and told the uncle's family to leave the next day.

The sister-in-law of the Fan family planned to make a big fuss at the gate of Uncle Zhongqin's residence.

Mrs. Ma told her that if she didn't even want the last face, their family would not mind, and sent people to Taohua Town to publicize the virtues of their family.

After a visit to the capital, the family of four changed from head to toe, and the children also received greetings from their aunts.If this relationship is made clear in the hometown, who can look up to her family?
The couple had no brotherhood and were greedy for money, their brains were still online, and they didn't dare to make trouble anymore, so they went back to their hometown in desperation.

Regarding the matter of the Yuan Mansion, after listening to Cuihua's gossip, Hei Wa said a few words: "The ancients liked to marry close relatives, and we should really pull out those fools born of close relatives to make everyone sober."

"Fools are still a minority after all, and most of them are normal. These cases cannot change the status quo. What they are talking about is getting closer, but it's just for the sake of making the bond stronger."

"Daughter-in-law, you always hit the nail on the head like this, sober in the world!"

The couple stopped talking about this topic, and Heiwa began to tell Cuihua what they had seen and heard in the Falklands.

During the period when they were repairing supplies, Yuan Wenjie and the others were led by Putuo translators, and they had a lot of fun shopping.

On the first day they landed on the island, they saw many trees that were said to have grown on the island for thousands of years and were called hozen trees by the local aborigines.

Putuo took them to watch, some of the thickest hozen trees on the island.

It is only about 30 meters high, but the tree is so fat that it takes [-] to [-] people to enclose it.

"Wow, this may be the biggest tree we've ever seen in our life!" The teenagers exclaimed, and were surrounded by the biggest tree in amazement.

"Gentlemen, don't look at how strong these hozen trees are, but the inside of the tree is very loose, and most of them are hollow. When the island encounters little rainfall and lack of water, you only need to dig a hole in this tree, and you can Receive the clean water in the tree trunk to drink. The water stored in this tree can be used by the whole family to drink for more than ten days!"

"Good tree, good tree!" The friends applauded in unison. When water is scarce, such a tree is definitely a life-saving tree.

"Huh? Why does this hozen tree flower smell like rotten flesh?" No wonder they have a good sense of smell, but the smell is really strong.

Everyone looked up, and saw that the flowers were huge and white, extraordinarily dazzling, and there were a lot of hanging stamens, which looked good but didn't smell good.

"Hey, we're used to the smell, but we don't think it smells bad. In a year, except for the driest season, it can bloom three times and bear fruit three times."

"There are so many fruits, can you eat them?" Looking at the fruits on the tree eagerly, everyone began to fantasize about its taste.

"It's edible, not only the flesh, but also the fresher and tender leaves. It can be eaten as a vegetable or dried and ground as a seasoning." Putuo is an activist. I bought a slightly shorter hozen tree, and I wanted to pick fruits for the nobles to eat.

The fruit dropped from the tree is oblong, off-white, and as big as an ostrich egg.

When broken open, the pulp is white with black seeds encased in the pulp.

"It can be eaten raw or roasted. We Javanese like to grind the pulp into powder and drink it with some honey as juice." Putuo said and took the lead in eating.

"This fruit doesn't have much moisture, and it's a bit sour, so it's just okay to eat." Yuan Wenwu took a few mouthfuls, expressing that he didn't like the taste.

"Gentlemen, don't think it tastes mediocre. Monkeys are so cute and eat this thing. When food is not enough, people can keep them full. The juice of the fruit can be used to reduce fever and treat malaria. It can be said that it is full of treasures!"

After the Shangguan imperial physician heard about this tree, he was obsessed with collecting their sap and wanted to extract the essence.

In addition to this strange tree on the island, there are: bottle grass that can secrete fragrance and attract insects; compass tree with rows of thin needles that always point to the south; grass that grows as tall as a tree and bears blue flame-like seeds etc.

Fruits can be described as the culmination of fruits in the world.

In addition to the common bananas and pineapples, there are also: "dark plum" that tastes like a date, "oyster melon" that looks like an oyster, "date" that is as big as a little finger, and "sea coconut" that is shaped like a human butt etc.

In terms of courage to try something new, who can compare to these teenagers?As long as it is non-toxic, I dare to put it in my mouth.

The animals in the Mashima jungle are also eye-opening: long-necked weevils whose necks are twice as long as their bodies; chameleons as small as fingernails that can change into seven colors; and dark blue all over birds; snakes with long, pointed noses.
The most common are groups: monkeys with big round eyes that resemble foxes and dogs.There are forty or fifty species of lemurs alone.

Qin Ke encouraged the twins: "Fifth and sixth brothers, let's take some back. His Royal Highness hasn't seen these rare things before. It's better to be alone than to be happy!"

"Hey! Fourth brother, let's go together. Anyway, we have brought so many wild animals back, and these are not bad!" Yuan Wenwu is rare for lemurs, with big round eyes. If they are not afraid of people, he would want to rua Ha.

Yuan Wenjie also nodded, and said in a low voice, "Look, there are many kinds of wild orchids here! Fourth brother, if you can bring back the appearance and fragrance of these wild orchids, they won't be cheaper than gems!"

The literati and poets of the Great Xia Dynasty like arty, orchids, gentlemen among flowers, who doesn't like them?
Qin Ke brightened up: "Let's go, let's discuss it with Uncle, instead of grabbing gems from those ship dealers, let's just dig some grass and go back, hehe!"

Don't forget about good things, Lu Shaoting and others who have made good friends with them, Yan Fuzi said that he can help check, and he is good at choosing orchids.

Of course, Hei Wa would not delay his sons from earning a little money. He suggested that the youngsters can choose more types of orchids, and it is best to pack them with soil and grass.

Big deal, he poured space water a few more times.

With Master Yan's help, Zhao Leiting and others ran deep into the mountains for three days and dug up more than 100 kinds of high-quality bluegrass.

There are thousands of old roots and new seedlings, and they are kept in pottery soil bowls like treasures, and holes are specially drilled under the bowls for ventilation.

The small animals were picked and picked by Uncle Zhongqin. In the end, only eight pairs of lemurs of different species and eight chameleons were brought along. The rest were rejected. Thank you for the birds and snakes!
No matter how short the time was, they also stayed in the Falklands for half a month, and Feisal still needed to make arrangements for the guys in his manor to take away the rice harvested this year.

Putuo was hired by Feisal with a high salary because he knew Dashi language and Daxia Mandarin, and became the translator for this trip.

Yuan Wenjie and his group of eight took the initiative to learn Dashi language from Feisal.

In their father's words, perhaps, the Great Food Empire will become an important trading partner of the Great Xia Dynasty in the future.If they learn Dashiyu well, they will have core competitiveness.

Starting again, with Feisal as the leading party, the journey was really smooth.

The temperature became hotter as the boat went north, and they stopped staying at the shore except for occasional fresh water supplies.

a month and a half later
"We're here, we're here, the Great Food Empire welcomes you!" Feisalbi was excited any time he returned to his hometown.

They were welcomed by the state banquet of Caliph (King) Ahmad.

Huang Shangshu finally got the treatment that a Shangshu of the Daguoli Fanyuan should have.

Under Putuo's translation, the Great Xia Dynasty and the Great Food Empire exchanged the credentials of the two countries before the banquet began.

On behalf of the Great Xia Dynasty, Huang Shangshu sent:
Two pieces of court embroidery, the picture of the tiger descending the mountain, and the picture of the four beauties.

A set of "Auspicious Three Treasures" pastel porcelain, a set of "Six Cranes in the Same Spring" blue and white porcelain, eight pieces of Yunjin and Sichuan brocade each,

Eight catties of tribute tea.

Putuo translated for Daxia: "Your Majesty, "The Picture of the Tiger Coming Down the Mountain" and "The Picture of Four Beauties" were embroidered by dozens of Daxia court embroidery masters in three years.

Pastel porcelain and blue-and-white porcelain are also produced by the Daxia Royal Kiln, and the patterns of each set of porcelain are unique. "

Caliph Ahmad, who is over fifty years old, only stared at the pictures of the four beauties among the many gifts.

The beauties are embroidered to be life-sized and lifelike, as if they are living people in front of them.

Nothing suits him better than this gift!

Feisal is not an ordinary businessman either. A younger sister of the family married into the royal family, and she can be regarded as a red-capped businessman of the Dashi Empire.

After Uncle Zhongqin and the others left, he reported the whole trip again from the beginning to the end.

Khalifa Ahema took a sip of the fragrant tea soup and asked slowly: "So, the Great Xia Dynasty is much richer than the Tang Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, that is indeed the case, and besides the foreign minister and a second-class earl who led the Great Xia Dynasty on this trip, that general also looks extraordinary!"

"Well, I'll leave it to you to handle this trade."
