Chapter 754: Coffee

Su You pursed his lips: "Why don't you use Ji Lan or Sky Blue?" It's a drop in price. ”

Kuro hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't you dare to spoil such a good plate, what if the high temperature is too high and it burns out of shape?" ”

As soon as Su You heard it, the craftsmen of Yixing secretly played tricks, first fired a plain white pottery plate, and then used glaze to create a second creation in the pottery embryo, and then fired it at a low temperature.

Indeed, this minimizes the risk and cost of firing, forming first and then decorating.

However, it is obviously a lack of ingenuity and fooling foreigners.

Su You turned the plate over, and a piece of Arabic text was written in blue color underneath: "What is this?" ”

Elp reverently said, "This is the Fati Haiha, and the opening chapter of the saint's scriptures. ”

After speaking, he sang in a low voice: "In the name of the true God who is most merciful and merciful, all praise be to the true God, the God of the worlds, the God of the most merciful and merciful, the God of the day of retribution, we worship only you, and ask only your help." ”

"Lead us in the right paths, and the way of those whom thou hast helped is not the way of the wrathed, nor the way of the strayed."

Su You nodded: "This scripture is good." I also bless you to find the road of peace, the road of abundance, the road of happiness, and the road of connecting the civilizations of the East and the West. ”

Everyone prostrated on the ground: "Thank the true God, thank you to the merciful Lord of the City." ”

The biggest price difference between the East and the West is porcelain, tea, and silk. Yellow and white brass, now it can also bluff people when it is taken out. And the gold and silver utensils were obviously used for bribery along the way.

And the simplest and crudest are copper coins and gold and silver coins.

Su You said: "On this voyage, we prepared two Hangzhou type ships with 5,000 materials, four Kuizhou type ships with 3,000 materials, and ten Meishan types for escorts. ”

"The cargo capacity, safety, and most critical speed of these ships are not comparable to your ships and the Great Song Fu ships, so you don't have to go out this time, so as not to delay time."

"However, your commercial goods can be transported by ship, and the treatment given to you is the same as that of Han merchants, that is to say, seventy percent of the profits will go to the city company, and thirty percent will go to you."

"The destination of this voyage is to reach at least Xilan and Nanbi, and strive to reach the hometown of Baida and Pathro in Kuro, and if you can bypass Malibal, reach Majia and Besri, proclaim envoys along the way, collect books and linguistic talents, and lure merchants, and when you come back, I will ask the imperial court for merit and assign you official posts! By the way, Pu Lizu is the title of general, right? ”

Pu Li bowed: "Exactly, the ancestor is the Huaihua general canonized by the imperial court." My father admired the great businessman Jia Fan Li as a person, and named the villain Li, the word Xiwei. ”

Su You couldn't help but laugh in his heart, your father is also a big heart, this is to want you to become Fan Li and Lu Buwei. Encouraged: "Huh? So you only need to work hard to earn money, and Da Song can still give rewards, where can you find such good things? There are still more than two months to go, everyone, come on. ”

Everyone nodded yes again and again.

The barbecue of the Pu family is indeed quite good, and the main flavor comes from a spice powder unique to the Hui people.

This thing can't be let go, Su You asked Pu Li to take the spices, and he can recognize it, roughly there are frankincense, myrrh, cinnamon, benzoin, dried lime, cloves, and the remaining two, according to Pu Li, one is called tamarind, which is actually the common sour horn of Su oil in later generations. There's also a lemon-flavored yellow powder, as well as a dried fruit called malab.

Pu Li proudly pointed to the yellow powder and said, "This thing is not in the Middle Earth, it is called yellow incense powder." ”

Su You dipped a little of it with his finger and put it in his mouth, with a sour taste: "Okay, you got this thing out of the leaves of the tobacco tree, right?" ”

Pu Li was frightened: "How did Shaobao know?!" ”

Su You pouted: "You thing, my Meishan has long used it to clarify rice wine, dye silk and tanned leather, but it has not yet been transmitted to Zhejiang." And it's not only the leaves of the tobacco tree, the sumac tree, the most is the gallic content is high. ”

"There is also the Yuanxiang flower, which is also used by the concubines in the Tang court to bathe delicate skin."

Pu Li was embarrassed: "Then next time I go back to the Great Song Dynasty, I can't bring this again, we all sell it as spices." ”

Su You pointed to the thing called Merab: "I really haven't seen this before." ”

Pu Li didn't dare to show off anymore: "This is a kind of kernel produced by a tree called black cherry, which is used for oil and sesame oil, and wood is also an important material for making wood." ”

Su You was surprised: "Hardwood? That's a real cherry. ”

Pu Li picked up another cup of black drink: "Thank you, wise castle keeper, please taste our Vaset." ”

Su You looked at it like that, and leaned over to his nose and sniffed: "Damn!" Isn't that coffee? ”

Pu Li said carefully: "This ...... We call the sugar-free one Seda, the low-sugar one Vaset, and the polysaccharide one Ziade...... Coffee, we don't ...... Not very useful. ”

Su You took a sip carefully: "Yes, it's just like Song tea, and a lot of ingredients are added!" ”

Pu Li was happy and miserable: "Lord City Governor is really our most honored guest, there is also sugar, cinnamon powder, cardamom powder here, can drink the Song people who are used to this, Lord City Governor is the first!" ”

Su You said cautiously: "Why don't we try another way?" Is there milk? ”

Then it's simple, Su You asked the maid to fry the coffee beans and grind the powder to brew, fry the sugar into caramel, filter out the coffee juice and mix it with milk and caramel, brewed a big pot, and poured a big cup for everyone: "Come, borrow flowers and offer Buddha, ah no, offer true gods, I wish you a better and better life in the Great Song Dynasty, and bring more and richer products to the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Everyone raised their glasses in response, and Pu Li finally knew how knowledgeable and talented the two masters of the Wisdom Palace, Kuro and Elp, were respected: "Lord City Governor, it turns out that this is coffee, it tastes very good!" It is easy to make, too! I will definitely bring this way back to my hometown! ”

Belch...... This one...... Su You had no choice but to change the subject: "On this voyage, when you come back, you will bring spices, jewelry, ivory, and famous wood, which is a must, but more, I think you should bring crop seeds, good livestock, such as this coffee bean, and high-quality rape, cotton, sheep, horses, etc." ”

"By the way, there is also a dandelion-like plant, the roots have a rich white thick pulp, very sticky to the hands, that thing, try to find it for me."

After speaking, he said to Elp: "There are also the books of the Palace of Wisdom. Your hometown is now at war, and the essence of civilization has been lost. Let the wise man be heartbroken. ”

"You have to collect as much as you can and transport them to the Great Song. Looking at today, only the Great Song Dynasty has the financial, material and human resources to give these classics a proper place to live. ”

"I will build a new wisdom palace for you in Hangzhou to store your scriptures, and you will also start preparing for the translation of the Dashi script into Chinese characters."

"Knowledge is the common wealth of mankind regardless of race, and remember that you are not just rescuing your own civilization, but all of humanity, a common civilization."

Kuro and Elp couldn't stop their tears from flowing and prostrate in front of Su You: "Wise and wise Great Governor, you are the messenger sent by the true God to the earth. All the people of the Wisdom Palace will definitely run for the initiative of the City Governor. Your wisdom will forever be recorded in the annals of civilization, both in the East and in the West. ”

Coming out of Fanfang, there was an extra cloth bag behind Su You's horse's buttocks.

Coffee beans are a good thing, this thing can excite the nerves and refresh the mind.

The bigwigs are all in charge of everything, and they have to write poems and articles, and after having a gas lamp, staying up late is the norm.

And now the Song people also like to drink mushy things, and the tea leaves have to be ground and spiced to drink, which is about the same number as the coffee of the big cannibals.

Su You didn't ask for other people's gems and spices, but he robbed more than a dozen catties of coffee beans, ready to use them to have a good relationship with the bigwigs.

I also want to send it to Banniang and Twenty-Seven Niang, hum, cappuccino, it should be like this!
