The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

The ship merchants finally found the correct way to open the sea trade, this place is really a paradise for traders.

Jewelry includes: gemstones of various colors, pearls, coral trees, yellow wax stones, agates, car drums, etc.;

Spices include: frankincense, ambergris, woody incense, cloves, rose water, nutmeg, benzoin, etc.;
Rare medicinal materials: asafoetida, umbilical cord, gall, blood stew, etc.;

There are also: ivory, rhinoceros horn, and glass products that are several times clearer than Daxia Liuli.

The products produced by Daxia must be high-quality products, just the silk brought by ship merchants (here refers to the collective name of all silk products).

The patterns are mainly natural and vivid folded flowers and a large number of flower and bird patterns.

The color is based on: brown, brown, brown, lotus root and other intermediate or complex colors, and it is very elegant when matched with white.

Daxia Dynasty silk also has one of the most outstanding characteristics: light and breathable.

The geographical location of the Dashi Empire is destined to be a hot and arid country, and the light and breathable silk fabric is no different from an artifact to cool off the heat.

The goods that the imperial court wanted to sell were directly purchased by the royal family of the Dashi Empire, and none of them went to the people.

The ship merchants also ate fat. Unlike the official trading method of the Inca Empire, they can directly negotiate with the merchants of the Great Food Empire.

How can Putuo be busy alone?
Yuan Wenjie and the others have learned Dashiyu in less than a month. Apart from simple daily conversations, they are still a little short of in-depth business negotiations.

Such a level of translation is also rushed by ship merchants.

Real knowledge comes from practice, use it as you learn!
Huang Shangshu saw all this in his eyes, and said to Heiwa with a smile: "Uncle, you two young masters, after the imperial examination, you can come to our Lifan Academy. Not only can you learn new languages ​​quickly, but you can also use your brains to learn new languages ​​quickly." Turn fast."

"My lord, you've flattered them too much. They're not even children now. I don't know how many years it will be before they come to your Lifan Academy after passing the examination!"

"Hey, Uncle, don't underestimate yourself! I don't think the young masters are weak in civil and military skills. They were taught by the most powerful Confucians in the Imperial College. A mere Jinshi is nothing to worry about!"

"By your auspicious words, if they have the ability and willingness, I will not stop them."

With plenty of time and flexible trading methods, all the ship merchants cheered up as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Zhao Leiting saw other people busy, and he was anxious too.

As the chief housekeeper of Zhongqinbo's mansion, except for more than a dozen cooks, their mansion did not carry any merchandise.

"Uncle, is the business of our mansion going to expand?" Open early and make money early, what are you waiting for?
Hei Wa almost forgot about this, so he quickly asked Zhao Leiting and the others to go around first, to see what eating habits and taboos the people here have, and then make arrangements.

Recalling some legends about cannibals, Hei Wa said to several teenagers:
"I heard before that businessmen in Dashi Country like to be friends with strangers first, and then discuss business after they have made friends. Moreover, they like to bargain with others. If you exchange things too simply, maybe they think you are not good. You know how to do business, but you still look down on you in your heart.”

"Father, they are not those natives. Why don't we bargain? You underestimate us too!" Yuan Wenwu said that he is very good at doing business, and haggling half the price is his grandmother's usual tactic, which he can learn from.

"Hey, what Uncle means is, let's go ahead and ask for prices, I'm afraid we're not brave enough!"

Not to mention, the illustrated comic strips and jigsaw puzzles brought by Yuan Wenjie and the others are still very popular in Dashi Empire, and they were sold out in less than half a day after they were released.

The sales of the Four Books and Five Classics handwritten by great Confucians are slow, and they continue to take away those that cannot be sold.

After the three of them discussed, they planned to exchange the gold and silver they sold for the best opal, which was logical, precious and easy to carry.

Zhao Leiting took a few cooks to investigate for a few days, and came to report to Hei Wa:

"Uncle, big cannibals don't eat pork, they like to eat fresh beef, sheep and camel meat, and they like chicken among poultry. They also don't eat shelled seafood, they like to eat sweet ones, and as staple food, they like pilaf and noodle cakes. "

"What are your thoughts?"

"Hey, Uncle, people here have never seen corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes. We can make too much food!"

Heiwa is proud: he arrived in South America hundreds of years earlier than Europeans, and these staple foods will be spread around the world by the people of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The cooks got busy, all kinds of purchases, cattle and sheep were bought fresh, and they were slaughtered on the day of the big meal.

When he was ready, Bo Zhongqin sent an invitation to Feisal in his own name.

He also asked him to bring other merchants who traded with the Great Xia Dynasty to the inn where they were staying as guests, and they would cook Daxia delicacies to entertain their friends.

The past few days are the big summer boom, and the upper class people are going crazy.

Whose family has no way to buy Daxia silk, and the female relatives are afraid to attend gatherings held by relatives and friends.

Moreover, at the gathering of the female relatives, the porcelain and tea from Daxia became the focus of discussion among the nobles.

Authentic oriental cuisine, which makes the big cannibals who have always been eating more wildly interested.

Uncle Zhongqin gave Feisal a list of 50 people to invite, but on the first day of the banquet, Feisal was very embarrassed to find it.

He said that the number of people who wanted to experience Daxia’s delicacies had increased to more than 100, and he couldn’t shirk it, so he could only come to explain the situation.I implore the generous Zhongqin Bo, so that more nobles in the Dashi Empire can learn a lot.

"Hahaha, welcome, welcome, we are all friends!"

Uncle Zhongqin, a friend who sharpens his knife: The more you come, the better. If you can cook meals for 50 people, you can do it for more than 100 people!

On the day of the banquet, Zhao Leiting and the others stayed up all night, slaughtering sheep and cattle all night, and then decomposing, cutting, and pickling.

When my wife was in Nanzhou, she exchanged ten colorful beads for the secret recipe of roast chicken.

They studied at the mansion for half a year, almost vomited up the chicken, and only learned [-]% of their master's skills.

It must be arranged for the friends of Dashiguo, the traditional Chinese medicine marinade package, they all brought it all the way, and finally saw the sun again.

Potato goulash: There is no fresh tomato, so they can only use the tomato sauce boiled in their base camp instead.

The ketchup with a lot of honey tastes sweet, and this slightly sour and sweet ketchup is more suitable for the taste of sugar-heavy cannibals.

The beef is stewed until soft, fragrant, fresh and bright red, and the potato flour is full of gravy.

Sauce-flavored lamb scorpion: The lamb scorpion about half a year old is selected as the raw material. After soaking, picking, simmering, and slow simmering for one and a half hours, it can be out of the pot.

The sheep scorpion at the moment is neither fishy nor smelly, full of the sweet aroma that only fresh lamb can have, when the teeth touch the lamb, it can be deboned with just a sip, and the sheep marrow is sucked after eating the meat, it is delicious!
Braised beef, crispy duck, roast goose, stir-fried tender beef, tomato fish, salt-baked shrimp, vinegar potato shreds.
The staple food is: sweet potato pancakes, tortillas, and roast lamb buns.

The drink is: milk tea, a combination of brick tea and milk, and then put a lot of honey.

When Feisal brought more than 100 famous dignitaries and businessmen from the big food country, as soon as they walked into the gate of this inn, they were enticed by the strong fragrance.

The meat seemed to still be the meaty smell they were familiar with, but there were also various aromas that they had never experienced before.

Everyone looked at each other: you are right, you are right, you are indeed a great country in the East!

Hei Wa led eight teenagers to greet the friends of the Dashi Empire at the door, and delivered a speech before the meal:

"Welcome all friends. It is a great honor to cook a meal for you, our Daxia's special food. I hope that the friends who come here today will eat well and drink well. I wish you a happy meal, and I wish the friendship between Daxia and Dashi Empire will last forever! "

Everyone raised the milk tea cups in their hands, um, the familiar milk taste, the newly familiar tea fragrance, take a sip: wonderful!

The eight teenagers also sat scattered around the banquet. The big cannibals didn't have a dining table. They sat on the ground, placed food in the middle of the carpet, and grabbed the food with their right hands.

Yuan Wenjie and the others help to explain the names and characteristics of each dish among these people.

In addition to praising the delicious dishes, the big cannibals soon discovered novel root plants such as potatoes and corn.

Yuan Wenwu is working hard to translate: "These are foods that we exchanged for expensive commodities from a far, far country. They are not only delicious, but also can be used as staple food or dishes. The key is that they are easy to grow and have a good yield. High, several times higher than rice and wheat."

As soon as the news came out, the big cannibals couldn't care less about eating meat. Feisal was entrusted with a heavy responsibility and hurriedly asked, "How is this easy to grow? Have you already grown it?"

"Of course, we have been planting for two seasons. These foods are not picky at all. They can be grown in sandy soil. We have already summed up our experience and made a planting atlas."

Feisal was so excited that he was about to discuss business with Yuan Wenwu during the meal.

However, thinking that he should not be able to make the decision, he suppressed his excitement and focused on tasting the delicious food in front of him.

At this banquet, the big cannibals who usually eat seven percent full can't help but eat very full, unable to resist the temptation of Daxia delicacies.

And after the meal, the housekeeper of Zhongqinbo's mansion actually told them that these dishes were all made by the chefs of Zhongqinbo's mansion.

They are willing to sell these skills, and if they want to learn, they can send their cooks to learn.

Faisal dragged Uncle Zhongqin to discuss the deals of these staple foods.

The other nobles and businessmen had no choice but to chat with Uncle Zhongqin's housekeeper and the two sons of the mansion. Fortunately, they could also speak some Dashi language.

"Your Excellency should know the importance of these staple foods?"

"Respected Uncle Zhongqin, on behalf of our caliphate, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you.

You not only brought us oriental civilization, but also let us see these high-yield grains.

As long as your country is willing to leave some grain seeds for us, no matter what kind of products you are interested in, please just mention them! "

"It's easy to say, easy to say, the Great Food Empire also has a lot to learn from."
