It's very cold to come out early in the morning. It's not warm until the sun rises.

Xu Qing and Li Changting strolled around the street, but they were suddenly stopped.

"Master Li! Boss Xu Qing

Since qingtingfang became famous, everyone didn't call Mrs. Xu Qingli, because there were too many people who called Mrs. Li. When they met, everyone called Mr. Xu Qing boss or Mr. Xu Qing boss.

Looking at the young man running in front of him, Xu Qing is sure that he doesn't know each other. Is this a chat up call on the street?

Wearing a brocade robe, the young man of a wealthy family smiles and salutes them. Then he takes out an invitation: "this is from my master to boss Xu Qing."

Seeing the unique "Fu" character on the invitation, Xu Qing took over: "Fu Xitang?"

The young man nodded: "the owner went out for a trip in the second half of the year. He came back half a month ago and brought back a lot of rare things. He knows you are interested in these things. He specially asked me to let you know. If you want to go and have a look, you can go to the grocery store on East Street. Our Fu family rented a shop there to sell these rare things."

As expected, Xu Qing showed an interested expression: "things from outside the sea, I have to go and have a look!"

East Street is not far from here. Xu Qing and Li Changting go through two alleys and come to a spacious and prosperous street. Not far away, they see a large group of people gathered in front of a shop not far away. The voices of surprise and surprise come in bursts. I don't know what kind of juggling is being performed in this shop.

A young man took the lead, and the men in the shop quickly separated a road in the crowd to let Xu Qing and Li Changting in.

Through the crowd, Xu Qingcai saw that there was a circle of tables around the outside of the shop, and the guests could not go in. Instead, a man was showing the goods one by one in front of the table.

Xu Qing and Li Changting are distinguished guests. They can go into the shop and enjoy themselves.

What catches the eye is a wall of exotic costumes. When Xu cleans up, he finds that these exotic costumes have a sea flavor.

Why do you say that?

It's too revealing.

Probably only people close to the sea will wear it, and it's obviously tropical.

But I have to say that the materials of these clothes are surprisingly good. I don't know what they are made of. They are soft, thin and colorful.

It's too gorgeous, gorgeous to gaudy. Probably no one dares to wear it here, and I don't know what the significance of putting it on sale is. Is it just to buy it back for collection?

Xu Qing glanced away.

There are all kinds of things on the shelves. Xu Qing looked at them one by one, and found that most of them are exquisite gold and silver jewelry and various pearl and gem accessories.

Half a shelf of gold, silver and jewelry, it's so breathtaking. Half a meter high women's gold crown is placed in the most prominent position. Xu Qing touches it, and it turns out to be real gold.

In addition, there are also some beautiful stones, handicrafts, pens, paper and gadgets.

She is not interested in these items. She turns to another container and sees strange fruits and seeds on the container. Xu Qing quickly walks over.

Most of the fruits are nuts that can be preserved for a long time. Xu Qing knows a few of them, but they are a bit shabby, not the same as those she saw in her last life.

Seeing a pile of big fruits like shriveled papaya, Xu Qing felt a little familiar. She picked up one and smelled it. Suddenly, she smelled a very familiar smell!

No, isn't that

Xu Qing pinched hard, and the fruit was dehydrated and shriveled, so he pinched it open easily. Seeing the white seeds squeezed inside, Xu Qing buckled one out, peeled off the white skin outside and exposed the dark brown seeds inside.

A smell of cocoa came to my face, and this smell is so familiar, that is, the smell of chocolate!

Xu Qing put his hand into his mouth and was stopped by Li Changting.

"Ah? It's OK. I know it. I just want to try it. " Xu Qingdao.

Li Changting showed his disapproval: "don't eat anything you haven't seen."

The young man had been waiting for him. He said, "this food can be eaten. It's a kind of local food. It tastes very bitter, but it's very full."

Li Changting: "what's its name?"

Young man: "I don't speak the local language. It's probably coco."

Xu Qing nodded: "how much do you have?"

Youth: "more than 200 Jin."

Xu Qing: "I want them all."

Young man

Xu Qing: "these are fruits. Are there any finished products?"

Young people do not understand: "what product? What else can this be made of besides eating it directly? "

Xu Qing: "if not, can you sell me as many as you have?"

The young man came back to himself and said, "of course, the master said that whatever you like can be as much as you want."

Xu Qing put down the cocoa beans in his hand and looked aside. Sure enough, he saw a kind of red fruit, the size of a cherry. But maybe it was because after a long time, these fruits were so shriveled that they had no water.

She peeled off one of them, peeled off the skin, and exposed the same dark brown beans inside. She put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it. She felt comfortable. It was really a familiar taste!Li Changting was afraid that Xu Qing would be stuffed in his mouth. He stared at her and asked, "what's this?"

Xu Qing: "a kind of bean, called coffee bean, tastes sour and bitter. It can be ground into powder and brewed. It's very delicious. It can refresh the mind and replenish the physical strength."

The young man looked at Xu Qing in surprise: "you know so clearly."

Xu Qing: "I want all of these."

Xu Qing smiles as if he had found a treasure.

Fu Xitang must have gone somewhere in the tropics. These beans and nuts are basically unique to the tropics. It's a pity that things are good, but they can't grow them here.

Cocoa and coffee fruits are seeds. She went back to try to plant them in the space, hoping that they would not blossom and bear fruit like the coconut trees before.

Looking at everything, Xu Qing also saw many beautiful shells and conches. Of course, these are not living creatures, but they are so beautiful that they can be bought as decorations.

There are also some strange handicrafts. The young man said that they are musical instruments in that place.

There are all kinds of foreign food and clothing, but we can't see who is better or worse than them in terms of their development level, because some of the most important things are not put out.

Xu Qing thought that Fu Xitang would not only bring back these things, but also the most important weapons, production technology and books.

Even the other party's resources, such as iron ore, gold mine and coal mine, are probably only known to Fu Xitang himself.

People here don't know about coal mines, but some places already use "black oil" that can burn to meet their daily needs.

Fu Xitang is definitely a man of great wealth.

Think about Xu Qingzhen. It is said that before the natural disaster, DAHAO had a large number of merchant ships on the sea, and many things used by the people were imported.
