Chapter 453: Chili

The atlas shows all the targets that the expedition was looking for.

Shi Xi originally paid attention to whether there were dates or not, but he never thought that after the masked man saw it, he actually pointed to a picture to indicate that he knew this thing.

The pattern recognized by the masked man was a very common chili pepper in later generations, for Yang Hao, who liked to eat spicy food, the taste of dogwood could not satisfy his palate, since the expedition team went to the Americas, it would be great if he could bring this thing back to Qi country.

Seeing that there was a clue so soon, Stony Brook was very excited.

Even if he took such a big advantage just now, it didn't make him lose his temper.

Because he knew very well that those furs were not worth mentioning compared to what Yang Hao was looking for.

"You've seen this thing? Where? ”

Stony Brook asked excitedly.

Seeing this, the masked man groaned, and a hint of thought flashed in his eyes.

Stony Brook's actions proved that these strangers needed these things very much, and it made him feel a little bit at a loss to tell them so easily.

After a long time, the masked man turned to the people next to him and said something.

Soon those who left came back again.

This time, however, there were a few more red peppers in the man's hand.

Seeing this, Shi Xi couldn't sit still any longer, so he quickly got up and took the pepper, carefully comparing it with the target crop drawn in the atlas.

There are some differences, but the approximate shape is not very different.

Carefully break off a small piece and lick it with my tongue, and the spicy taste suddenly spreads along the tip of my tongue throughout my mouth.

made his face suddenly change position.

Now he was pretty sure that this was what he was looking for.

"I want as many of you as you have here, including seeds."

In a moment of excitement, he forgot that these natives could not understand their own words.

Realizing this, Stony Brook hurriedly put the small bag of salt and these chili peppers together, signaling them that he could exchange them for salt.

The natives were a little surprised, their tribe did not grow chili peppers, mainly because the taste of this thing was not good, that is, the tribal wizards occasionally used it when they drove away evil spirits.

Although they don't go out of their way to cultivate this thing. But there are a lot of them near their tribe.

It would be a good deal to exchange this useless thing for that white crystal.

Such a great opportunity, how can these natives miss it.

The masked man gestured for how many chili peppers needed to be exchanged for a bag of salt.

And this time Stony Brook was very generous, probably because of the good mood.

For the first time, there was no bargaining on this.

He wanted a bag of pepper seeds for five bags of salt.

If the pepper is ripe, about 30 catties in exchange for a bag of salt.

In order to accurately express his intentions, Shi Xi tried his best to reluctantly express his thoughts.

After the natives understood Stony Brook's intentions, they clearly showed excited expressions.

The masked man couldn't wait to agree, as if as long as he slowed down, the other party would return.

The parties happily finalized the full details of the transaction.

Stony Brook was not interested in lingering among the native tribes, and he wanted to return to the tribe at once and speed up his search for the rest of the crops.

Now, a year has passed, and there is less than a year and a half left before the agreed return date.

He must find the target items as quickly as possible, so that after returning to Qi Kingdom, his chances of going to sea again will be a little greater.

The interests of furs alone are not enough to convince the diehards in the DPRK and China.

Collecting everything Yang Hao is looking for is his biggest bargaining chip.

And Chang'an City at this time.

After the spring rains, the weather is a little overcast and cold.

Yang Hao ate a slightly bitter and spicy meal, and always felt that something was missing.

"I don't know how the flotilla is going."

Yang Hao thought a little distractedly.

Seeing this, Nujiao couldn't help asking, "What does the king think again?" ”

Yang Hao came back to his senses and said, "Oh! It's nothing? Let's eat! ”

Nujiao put down her chopsticks and said softly: "If the king has something on his mind, he can talk to the concubine, although the concubine is stupid and can't share the king's worries, but it will be more comfortable to say what is on his mind." ”

When Yang Hao heard this, he smiled and said, "I don't have anything on my mind, it's just some government affairs." ”

"The king, recently Zhi'er has often been haunted in Chang'an with a people's woman, and the king knows this matter."

There was a hint of annoyance in Nujiao's tone.

Yang Hao nodded and said, "Well, I know about this, what do you want to say?" ”

"King, Zhi is your eldest son, and if Zhi'er does this, won't it damage your majesty."

Yang Hao put down his chopsticks and said in a deep voice: "I talked to Zhi'er about this matter, this is his own choice, whether he wants to marry that woman in the end or not, his marriage must be decided this year." ”

When the sedan chair heard this, her eyebrows suddenly raised, and her eyelids jumped wildly.

"What? How could the king promise Zhi'er to marry a cheap man. ”

Yang Hao's face turned cold, and he slapped the table heavily.

"I allow you to say it all over again."

The female sedan chair saw that Yang Hao was a little angry, and she was also a little scared.

It's just that he was still unwilling to say: "Fang Cai's concubine is not thoughtful, it's just a king, a mere girl, how to be worthy of Zhi'er's identity, even if you don't want Zhi'er to marry the daughters of those important ministers' families, but you won't choose a ** girl." “

"What about the people's daughter, as long as he can be worthy of the four words of motherhood in the world, I don't care what her identity is, no matter how noble or low she is in the world, she is my great Qi people, and she is regarded as the same in my eyes."

"The concubine begs the king to think twice!"

"Do you think that this king is a person who does not know how to think, I tell you, you must not interfere in this matter, if you do not want to resent you because of this, you better accept this fact.

All you can do now is be ready to teach your son's future wife, to be familiar with the manners of the palace, and to be familiar with how to live in the palace.

You don't have to do anything superfluous.

The women's sedan chair still wanted to beg, but Yang Hao was already a little impatient.

"So be it!"

As he spoke, he ignored the extremely ugly sedan chair and got up and left the sedan chair's bedroom.

The angry female sedan chair gritted her silver teeth, slapped the table heavily, and shouted, "Someone! ”

When the female officer waiting outside the door heard this, she hurriedly came in and bowed her head to obey the order.

"Go and find out where the who followed Zhi'er lives, I don't want to see her appear in Chang'an City."

As soon as the female officer heard this, she understood what the female sedan chair was going to do.

She didn't say anything, bowed down and said, "Don't worry, the slave will do everything you want." ”

"Well, you can do it!"

It's just that just as the female officer was about to leave, the female sedan chair stopped her.

She remembered Yang Hao's warning, if she killed the woman at this time, she didn't have to think that Yang Hao knew that she did it, which would probably have an adverse impact on her.

After all, now that the back position is vacant, if Yang Hao is angry at this time, I am afraid there will be no good fruit to eat.
