"It's ...... Pepper seeds? "It's really a surprise, I didn't expect Qingliu to be so capable, and the chili pepper that she didn't hope for at all was actually taken away by him.

"The master said you would know what it was!" Wu Fa was very complacent, and he didn't know if it was for the master or for Wu Nuandong, so he asked with great interest, "Girl, what is this?" Is it a medicinal herb? ”

"It's a medicinal herb, it's also an ingredient!" Chinese have a long history of eating spicy peppers, and the history of eating chili peppers is very short. Nowadays, pepper that has been stored for a long time is often used to replace the spicy taste, such as the mutton Hu cake sold in the Chang'an morning market, which is mainly spicy. But pepper is very expensive, the production is small and the demand is too great, and there are even many dignitaries who have turned pepper into a collection. In many places, because of regional characteristics, pepper is needed for cooking, pepper is needed for doctors to dispense medicine, pepper is needed for Taoist health preservation, and pepper is needed for atrial surgery, in short, the supply exceeds demand. Therefore, every time Wu Nuandong eats a lack of taste, he always wants to find a sharper chili pepper.

Don't look at Lingnan in the imperial capital and many places in the eyes of people in the eyes of the wilderness, but most of the alien species are spread throughout the country from the vicinity of Lingnan by sea, it is said that in 1492 AD, that is, the Ming Dynasty, Columbus saw the European market of pepper will cross the Atlantic to the Americas to discover the New World, and also discovered chili peppers, and now there are hundreds of years apart, how can chili peppers come over at this time!

Doubts shook in her mind Wu Nuandong threw it away, what she knew was only the official history, here and now, it was long time not time to look at everything and accidents with the eyes of the official history.

Wu Nuandong was very excited holding the chili seeds, revealing eight small white teeth and waving happily with Wu Fa to go out, halfway through thinking of the Jiang family and turning back, under Wu Fa's faint smile, he blushed slightly, and slightly, he told him to beware of the Jiang family's every move, and send the letter in time if there was anything unusual, and then escorted the chili pepper and left the pharmacy.

Wu Fa touched his chin, "The master is right, our girl is so cute!" "You can't let the idiot master hear this, otherwise there will be absolutely no good fruit for him to eat, and if you dare to tease the girl, you will definitely die.

Wu Nuandong didn't stay long in Linshui Town, took the silver needle and returned to Gaomen Village non-stop, and then sent a letter to Qingliu, praising it and praising it, without delving into the origin of the chili pepper.

However, Qingliu mentioned in his reply that it was sold to him by a down-and-out boatman, but he never mentioned that in order to collect strange seeds, he was deceived by Guangyueyin, but mentioned some interesting stories about the boatman's going to sea in the letter.

The Tang Dynasty was prosperous, and the navigation technology was also strengthened due to the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and the trade and other maritime relations of overseas Asian and African countries were strengthened, thus further promoting the development of shipbuilding and navigation industry, but the danger of Hainan navigation is still self-evident.

Wu Nuandong has the heart to develop overseas, but unfortunately there is no experience and opportunity, she has seen the fragment of the general dictionary written by Du You of the Tang Dynasty in modern times, and she knows that there is a person who has experienced seven centuries after Zhang Qian and Gan Ying arrived in the west of Asia again and left a reliable and plain record for the first time, his identity is unique, he is Du You's nephew, he is the secretary of the army who was captured by the Great Eclipse (Arab) people in the Anshi Rebellion, and is a prisoner of war, his name is Du Huan. It was not until 762 A.D., that is, this year, that Du Huan was able to return to China, and his scriptures have long been lost in later generations, but fortunately fragments have been preserved in the general canon.

Du Huan's footprints have been very close to the place of the Whisk (Eastern Rome), which records the color of the Whik people is red and white, the men are all dressed in plain clothes, the women are all dressed in pearl brocade, good drinking, still dry cakes, no trading and no cashier every day, only drinking and slandering all day long. It truthfully indicates the actual situation of the people there, such as skin color, clothing and habits.

It is the earliest Chinese classic in China that records ****** religion, and of course, as well as the situation of Yuanjiao, Christianity, and Buddhism. It was also at that time that a large number of captured soldiers included goldsmiths, painters, weavers, etc., who were skilled in goldsmiths, painters, weavers, etc., especially the spread of papermaking, replacing the previously widely used Egyptian papyrus, sheepskin, tree bark and other writing carriers, thus promoting the rapid development of Western civilization.

Wu Nuandong has admired the lost scriptures for a long time.

It was also in the middle of summer this year, when she thought that Du Huan ended her travel career, landed in Guangzhou on a merchant ship of Datang in the Persian Gulf, and returned to Datang, Wu Nuandong had the urge to wait for her to worship in front of her historical idols.

This is enough to prove that Datang's navigation technology is relatively mature.

Thinking about the voyage, Wu Nuandong's reply to Liang Zhen and Cheng Zijing inevitably added the navigation anecdote written by Qingliu to her, which can be regarded as broadening her horizons, listening and watching more, even if it is fun, it is a long knowledge.

If Qingliu knew the interesting things he had collected by pleasing his own girl with his heart, he would turn around and let the girl hook up with the man, and he could only treat it as if there was no such thing, and how to make Wu Nuandong happy if he continued to do so!

I have to say that Qingliu is definitely the best employee of Datang!

Although Liang Zhen did not talk about the engagement in detail in the letter, Wu Nuandong still revealed a little in his reply to Cheng Zijing, so that he could let go of some dependent emotions and find his own happiness as soon as possible.

As for Liang Zhen's matter, Wu Nuandong was not in a hurry, first, she had not yet reached the kind of feelings for Liang Zhen that she would not marry, and second, she thought that the obstacles caused by the Liang family to Liang Zhen could not be solved in a while.

Compared with the imperial capital family, the martial family has a thin foundation and no background, so it can be said that everything is insufficient, according to the Liang family's kind of family background, the first time the Liang family's housewife gets the letter, she should have obtained the first-hand information of the martial family.

She can even guess the content of the information, it is nothing more than a peasant background, reckless martial arts, good children, and not allowed to take concubines, except for the good birth of children is what the family wants, the other qiē is not in line with the noble status of the family.

Wu Nuandong is not self-deprecating, but believes in reality.

For example, if an imperial merchant like the Liang family wants to go up again when he goes to the extreme of a businessman, he must not marry a small family or the daughter of a fellow businessman. Although the name of the imperial merchant is good, he can't keep which concubine in the harem will be replaced if he doesn't like it, but it is very convenient to marry the official family.

Wu Nuandong's analysis was extremely that not long after going to the letter, Liang Zhen had no more news, and Luo Yuhan also came to the Wu family with a streamlined team.

Looking at the group of people who came quietly, Wu Nuandong counted no more than ten people, and she frowned again and again.

What about the importance of good words? What about the guilt of saying good? Ten people were escorted, and there was not even a single person who reported the news on the road.

Because of his doubts about the so-called family affection of the Heavenly Family, he didn't even have a good face when he looked at Luo Yuhan.

How could Luo Yuhan not know her careful thoughts, and smiled wantonly without care: "My stupid girl, there are not many soldiers, the most important thing is speed, and it is not a battle to compare the number of people, I am a good soldier and a fierce general, how can I be a small enemy!" ”

For the first time, Wu Nuandong saw the momentum of the general on the battlefield in this man with an extremely bevelous and handsome face and unruly behavior, and he was not angry but mighty, which made people worship the city government under his golden iron horse.

PS: Ancient Chinese tables mainly relied on pepper, pepper, turmeric, dogwood and mustard to make them spicy, and pepper was particularly precious. (To be continued.) )
