Boss Xue was a little confused, and was shaken by Zhou Heng like this, and instantly forgot what to say.

Zhu Yunmo tore Zhou Heng away, and it was rare to see Zhou Heng so surprised, and he was immediately interested.

"What are you doing in a daze, go and bring people over, forget it, let's go down and have a look."

Boss Xue hurriedly said:

"The man brought it, just outside the door, he held his bag, and he didn't let go, saying that he didn't believe me."

Zhou Heng had already walked towards the door, and a curly-haired man with brown hair and brown eyes and a beard squatted on the ground holding a bag.

Holding half a steamed cake in his hand, half biting it in his mouth and half exposing it, when he saw Zhou Heng suddenly open the door, he was startled and swallowed the cake directly, and immediately choked and coughed.

Zhou Heng stretched out his hand behind him.

"Tea!"

Boss Xue didn't dare to delay, turned around and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhou Heng, who handed the tea cup to the man.

The man's gaze wandered over the three of them, and finally he reached out and took the teacup, tilted his head and poured it all down.

Knocking on his chest, it seemed that the choked steamed cake had gone down, and then he said in broken Chinese:

"Thank you."

Zhou Heng asked tentatively, "Do you speak English?" Fran?ais？ ”

The man was stunned, his eyes widened instantly, and he nodded vigorously.

"A little, I'll speak French."

Zhou Heng was stunned, he could speak French, but Zhou Heng only knew four words in French, French, hello, cheers, goodbye!

"Okay, let's just say English, shall we?"

The man nodded, quickly got up from the ground, grabbed Zhou Heng's hand and kissed it.

Zhu Yunmo and Boss Xue were startled, Zhu Yunmo took a step sideways and shook his body, while Boss Xue wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Zhu Yunmo who reacted.

Zhou Heng smiled at the man and motioned for him to come into the office to speak.

This time, he didn't care about the bag, and followed Zhou Heng into the office, Zhou Heng poured him a cup of tea, and began to ask in English:

"What's your name? How did you come to Daliang Country? ”

"My name is Michelle, I am Spanish, and our fleet came to Daliang to do business to buy silk, tea, and porcelain, but the fleet encountered a storm and sank four ships, leaving us with only one wrecked ship. On the way, most of the people on the ship contracted the plague and died, and when we arrived at the port of Tianjin, there were only more than 20 of us left. ”

Zhou Heng reached out and patted Michelle on the shoulder, this man was miserable enough.

I came here without a language barrier, and my crew members were almost dead, and it is estimated that the remaining ship was also dilapidated.

"I'm sorry!"

Michelle shrugged.

"The ship is badly damaged, in order to survive, we have lost our heavy cargo, just some food and seeds, I want to sell these things, see if I can get some money, repair the boat, I want to take these people home."

Zhou Heng nodded, although he was very excited in his heart, he still suppressed these thoughts, looking at the thin clothes on Michelle's body, it was obvious that he had reached the point where he could not make ends meet, so it was easy to talk about anything.

"How long have you been in Daliang Country?"

"Two months ago, we arrived in Tianjin, and then transported the goods to the capital, but the weather changed suddenly, the translator contracted the wind and cold and died, and the gold and silver coins on our bodies were treated for him, and now there is no food, and now there is really no way, I just came out to try to sell things, at least not to starve to death."

After hearing this, Zhou Heng took off the big hat on his body and draped it on the man's body, such an action made Michelle, who was trembling, his eyes red.

Zhou Heng smiled at him, turned around and commanded Boss Xue:

"Go and prepare a meal for thirty people, not more for sixty, and let Wangcai do it now, and send it to Michelle's companion hot."

Boss Xue didn't question Zhou Heng's words, after all, the two of them muttered a bunch of words and couldn't understand anything, but seeing that Zhou Heng could communicate with such a person, a sense of pride arose, and he hurried down to do it.

Michelle naturally didn't understand, Zhou Heng looked at him and said:

"I see you and me today, let's not talk about buying and selling, I'll have people make some hot meals and send them to your companions, and then we'll talk about the rest."

When Michelle heard this, her eyes turned red, she stood up and covered her chest with one hand, and sincerely knelt on one knee.

"Sir, you have touched me so much, I don't know how to thank you, by the way, look at what I brought, is there anything you need, it's all seeds and some of our Spanish specialties."

Zhou Heng didn't move, Zhu Yunmo didn't understand, but he knew that Zhou Heng was a person who couldn't afford to be unprofitable, and if he could prepare so much food generously, there must be something desirable about this person.

Holding the teacup and not speaking, just watching.

Michelle moved the big bag into the office, and from his movements, he knew that it contained a lot of things, after all, he couldn't move it.

Zhou Heng didn't move, Michelle took out a few bags, opened a bag and grabbed two ears of corn, the leaves on the outside of the corn were completely dry, and the corn whiskers on it were also bent in shape.

Reaching out to take the corn, Zhou Heng's heart was about to jump out, this is what he was thinking about, with corn, there will be potatoes in the future, after all, these things did not appear in Daliang Country, although they could find chili peppers before, I don't know if they were trafficked before.

After all, although the shipping of the Great Liang State was not opened, it did not prohibit merchants from other countries from coming to sell, after all, the sales of tea, porcelain and silk were counting on these merchants.

Zhou Heng held back his excitement, and indifferently picked up the corn and tore it open, there was no trace of cooking, it was very dry, and the corn grains were also very neat and compact.

"Is this food?"

Michelle stood up and gestured to her height.

"This can be planted in such a cold place, not afraid of drought and flood, there are no requirements for the land, a seed will grow me so tall, there will be a lot of such golden seeds on it, understand?"

Zhou Heng smiled politely, put the corn down, and his eyes fell on the other bags.

"What else?"

Michelle saw that Zhou Heng was not interested in this, so she hurriedly opened another bag, and sure enough, this one was filled with potatoes.

Michelle held a golden potato and looked at Zhou Heng.

"This can be eaten, it can be planted, we are not willing to eat them even if we are hungry, we call it a golden seed, a golden seed can be cut wherever there is a pit, and it can grow into a plant, and a plant can produce more than a dozen such golden seeds."

Zhou Heng picked up the potatoes and took a look, the skin of these potatoes was quite fresh, and they were not preserved for a long time, in the era of cold weapons, most of the navigation technology at this time was sailing.

From Spain to the port of Tianjin, even if it takes more than 30 days in the future, if you sail at this moment, it is impossible not to have six or seven months.

There is also a need for replenishment and cultivation in the middle, and the surface of this potato is very fresh, not the appearance of being preserved for a long time, if this thing is in the summer, it will rot in less than a month on the ship.

Therefore, it was definitely not brought back from Spain, they must have prepared this food when they were resupplying, and when they came out with these things, it was obvious that there was nothing left.

Zhou Heng put down the potatoes and looked at Michelle with a slightly disappointed expression.

"That's all there is to it?"
