Section 14 The heart of the ape is the horse
ββ¦β¦ The Australians bought jute, cotton yarn, cotton cloth, opium and other Tianzhu goodsβall of which were shipped by the Franco. They also sell goods to the Francois people, and they can sell thousands of barrels of wine alone" Huang Shunlong knew that Master Lin was very interested in "Australians", and he couldn't hide his dealings with Australians. So deliberately eloquent. But he was careful to conceal the fact that the Australians bought a large amount of Indian saltpeter. Saltpeter was not allowed to be exported. But the Australians don't know where they got the news, they know that saltpeter is made in India - he Huang Shunlong has been trading with the Portuguese in Macau for so many years, and he doesn't know about it.
Lin Ming listened attentively, and after listening to Huang Shunlong's words, he became more and more interested in Australians. Lin Ming did not participate in the campaign launched by Wang Zunde to "fight for the enemy", and this matter did not involve Guangdong Jinyiwei from beginning to end - of course, even if Guangdong's Jinyiwei participated, I am afraid that there was no suitable person to go to Lingao to take on the detailed work - Guangdong has been peaceful for a long time, and what is the appearance of the hundred households now, Lin Ming knows better than anyone else, as far as the two general banners under him are concerned: one asks for leave to buy and sell for a long time, and the other is to socialize with the merchants every day to fight the autumn breeze. The little flags, captains, and wrestlers further down are all messing around except for thinking about ways to "find money", "get money" and "spend money", how can anyone be willing to do things sincerely. It's himself, if it weren't for the fact that he still has a little promotion, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to any Australians.
Lee Yongxun was not interested in the conversation between them - the Australians were no different from the Francos and the Red-Haired Men to her, both merchants who had come from overseas to sell fun goods. But their stuff seems to be more interesting. Especially in a set of silver-backed lipsticks in his cousin's boudoir, there are more than a dozen different shades of red alone. The lipstick does not need to be adjusted with water in advance, and it can be applied directly to the lips, which is moisturizing and beautiful. It is easier to use than the "Jiangnan Rouge" bought from Yangzhou and Nanjing and packed in a porcelain box, and it is cleaner than a piece of red paper to take a bite. My cousin is very precious about this, and even she only used it secretly a few times while her cousin was away.
The servants brought a new dish, a large white porcelain plate stacked with yellow scrambled eggs stained with some kind of red juice. There was also a lot of sloppy red flesh in it. Lin Ming thought that it was the same as the fish fillet just now, it was a spicy thing, but he often found that the taste was sweet and sour, and there was another fresh fragrance.
Li Yongxun ate a few bites, but there was a strange look on her face, and she asked, "This is also an Australian dish, right?" β
"Exactly. The red fruit is called 'tomato'," said Wong, "and it's called scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and it's said to be Australians' favorite dish." β
Li Yongxun whispered: "Tomato, the doctor and his entourage also brought ...... with him at the beginning" She remembered the two bottles of sauce that Huang Tianyu found from him after the medicine was turned over.
Lin Ming nodded: "This is originally Australian cuisine......"
Huang Shunlong saw that the topic was involved in Australians again, and he was afraid that he would make too many mistakes, so he smiled and said: "Master Lin, such a good night, the wine is intoxicating." Why not enjoy a Persian song and dance? β
"Persian song and dance?" Lin Ming was very interested, "I have never watched such an exotic dance......"
Li Yongxun can't wait: "I want to see it"
Huang Shunlong laughed a few times, turned his head and muttered a few words to the steward behind him.
A moment later, the sound of playing sounded behind the tapestry curtain, presumably a musician playing music. With the music, a bestursy woman gently jumped out from behind the curtain and writhed to the music of the beat. Maihime was plump and tall, with snow-white skin, and her long curled brown hair was tied with a gold chain and draped over Chiluo's shoulders. Two red lips like fire, a pair of big almond eyes, brown eyes are foxy and deep.
The dancer had only a few small pieces of cloth on her body, her belly pocket on her chest had just been covered, and a few light gauze scarves were draped under her waist, which were decorated with gold and silver flakes and various jewels. The slightest movement reveals a large area of snow-white skin. The dancers twist their waists and swing their hips to the rhythm of the music, and the rhythm is extremely hot. During the dance, the white scarf embroidered with gold rimmed hanging from the waist was raised from time to time, revealing two snow-white thighs, and the full and firm round buttocks were completely exposed, and only a wisp of fiery red silk could be vaguely glimpsed between the buttocks. A strong aroma filled the air, mixed with the smell of foxes.
Lin Ming was stunned for a moment - he has seen more fireworks women, and the more advanced they are, the more fake they are, and they talk like the eldest lady, even if they go to bed, they are just a little understanding. How have I seen such a wild and bold stunner, especially the bumpy figure, which is rarely seen among local women.
Huang Shunlong twisted his beard and smiled, very proud: he has seen too many such scenes. Although it cost him a huge sum of money to buy a slave girl from overseas, every time she took it out to entertain a distinguished guest, it always made people feel amazing. And don't worry about someone asking for it - there are many men who are obsessed with the beauty of exotic dancers, but no one wants to have a wife at home.
The most haode place is that as long as the woman is well raised, the age is not very obvious - eighteen and forty look the same, as long as the figure is maintained well, it is still confusing - after all, it is rare and expensive. If you spend a lot of money to buy a Yangzhou skinny horse, you won't be able to keep it for a few years. It is not uncommon to see women like this kind of high-ranking officials and nobles.
Lin Ming was so drunk that he couldn't help himself; Li Yongxun's face was red, and she didn't dare to look at the dancer, but she felt that the white flowers were shaking in front of her, making her face feverish, her throat dry, and her body fidgeting. pulled Lin Ming's sleeve and whispered: "This mother-in-law is really shameless." β
"It's barbarian song and dance." Lin Ming said and looked sideways, but saw that Xiao Qianqian's face was flushed, her eyes were hazy like spring water, and her waist and hips were gently twisting on the chair impatiently. I couldn't help but feel a pound in my heart, and quickly turned my head to continue watching the dancer's dance.
The sound of the piano and drums stopped, and the dancers took out the dance carpet to kneel down to everyone one by one, and poured wine and toasted the guests. Lin Mingzheng was dazzled, and when his heart was ape, he took a cup of stomach from his neck. Suddenly, I smelled the smell of sweat and perfume on the dancer's body, and suddenly the blood flowed wildly, and the six gods shook. Li Yongxun didn't even dare to look at it, so he quickly took the cup and drank it in one gulp - choking a few sips.
The dancer went down with a drink. Lin Ming was already a little distracted. Huang Shunlong whispered: "How about letting her serve the master at night?" β
"Well, well, Ah Ming didn't say anything - it was inconvenient to be too frank with my sister-in-law present. But the meaning is quite willing. In order to hide his gaffe, he asked, "What country is this woman from?" β
"The Franciscans said they bought it from Persia." Huang Shunlong is glad that the topic has been shifted to women, "According to legend, there is a big port city there, with department stores in the city, and there is a human market, specializing in all kinds of beautiful women and handsome children. β
"I can't imagine that there are such stunners overseas." Lin Ming's face bloomed with joy, and he felt very yearning for a while. Thinking that there was still a moment of supper in the evening, I felt more and more that it was worth the trip.
The zuihou of the banquet is an Australian dim sum "cake", and the cake baked with rum and cinnamon is fragrant and soft, which is very pleasing to Li Yongxun. Lin Ming saw that his sister-in-law was happy, and he was very happy, thinking that this old man Huang really knew about the situation in the officialdom in Guangzhou recently, Lin Ming drank a few more glasses, talked very much, and talked about Gao Shunqin's disappearance without concealment.
ββ¦β¦ Gao Xun pressed nowhere to be seen, and the Francos and Australians were about to celebrate with their crowns - after all, they had gone to an enemy. β
"So, is it true that Lord Gao wants the imperial court to ban the business of the people of Haojing Ao Franco?"
"Of course it is." Lin Ming nodded again and again, and said mysteriously, "If Master Huang is engaged in foreign trading, he will be prepared early, and he will definitely be able to make a fortune in the future." β
Huang Shunlong laughed dryly: "The small ones are sitting in business, and they can't do big deals." From Lin Ming's words, he knew that the matter of stopping the Portuguese trade was probably a foregone conclusion. If this news is notified to Australians, it is likely to make the other party understand. Now the status of Australians in Huang Shunlong's mind is no longer that they are pirates who suddenly appeared in Lingao and took advantage of the situation to make a big profit. Rather, it is a liliang that is about to rule the ocean of Guangdong. It is not harmful to please them.
Lin Ming let out a loud voice and shook his finger at him. With a flattering smile, Huang Shunlong poured him another wine.
The banquet was full of joy. Huang Shunlong didn't know what the relationship between Li Yongxun and Master Lin was, so he placed them together in his newly renovated courtyard for entertaining distinguished guests, which was recently built according to the "Australian style" and cost him 1,500 taels of silver. However, the money was the same as the investment he had made in the Persian dancer - it was well spent.
Li Yongxun is very curious about all the rooms in the courtyard, whether it is the flush toilet and the bathtub, the pipe that automatically flows out of the water when you pull it, or the soft and hard bed and the large chair like a cotton tire, and the chandelier hanging from the ceiling - especially when she is confident that the chandelier can still be put down...... All of them aroused her endless interest. Clear floral soaps placed on the glass countertops of the bathroom, colorful perfumes, various dried flower petals in glass bottles...... Let her love it, get this one,
The rarest thing is that there is no stove in the house, and there is no fire dragon kang and the like, but it is as warm as spring.
"This is the house that Australians live in? They're going to enjoy it. Lin Ming leaned back on a sofa chair, savoring the taste of wanting to refuse and welcome him below,
"Yes." Li Yongxun's eyes turned into stars, "I want to go to Lingao to see what kind of life an authentic Australian is ......."
