Later, in order to thank Yarulda for guiding the way, Li Dahai asked the caravan to exchange some goods with him. Among them, tea, silk and porcelain from the East are the most.

Although the price of these things is not low, Li Dahai is not for the purpose of buying and selling. Therefore, in the way of bartering, I exchanged some melons and fruits, seasonal vegetables and vegetables with Yarulda to eat.

But Yarulda, who was duty, knew the preciousness of tea and silk, so he didn't dare to accept it again and again.

In the end, Li Dahai used the method of forced buying and selling, took his chickens and ducks and left directly. Only then did he accept one or two tea leaves and a palm-sized porcelain bowl.

Jaruda and his wife stood on the side of the road and stared blankly! Until the caravan was far away, there was still some disbelief.

"Merciful God! Please tell me if this is true?! Xi Najia crossed her hands flat on her chest, unable to believe it.

Yarulda also felt that this was not true, and asked Xinajia to pinch herself.

So Xi Najia obediently pinched him, and was very hard.

"Oh, you crazy! Why are you pushing so hard? Yarulda was in pain and scolded.

Xi Najia listened, not only not angry, but also very happy. Because of Jarrda's reaction, she was convinced that everything that had just happened was true. He said, "Let's go!" Let's get home quickly. While it's still early, go to the temple and bow down to the true God and thank Him for his gift to us! ”。

And everything that happened today was very lucky. Therefore, Sinajia, who believes in the omnipotence and omnipresence of the true God, wants to go to the mosque to thank her.

Yarulda also felt the need for this. He carefully put away the tea leaves and porcelain bowls, and drove home in an ox cart.

In the end, in the territory of Central Asia, tea, silk, and porcelain from the East are the hard currency recognized by various ethnic groups. When it is on the market, it can be used as dinars.

And because of the small supply of goods, only giant businessmen and dignitaries can enjoy it. Ordinary people like them, being able to take a look at it is a blessing from several lifetimes of cultivation.

Li Dahai, who led the caravan, soon arrived in Bydam Town. It is a town built on the edge of an official road, and the surrounding area is surrounded by earthen walls that are more than one person high. It is semicircular in shape, facing the river surface on one side, which is not very spacious.

A wooden bridge was driven over it, connecting the farmland on the other side of the river with crops.

Another fork in the road connects to the official road and extends to the town, becoming the only market.

Due to the scorching sunshine during the day and the fact that it coincided with the afternoon, Li Dahai decided to find a place to settle down temporarily. Then he led the caravan to the fork in the road and entered the town.

At this time, there were not many pedestrians in the earthy yellow market. There are about hundreds of houses on both sides, one after the other. The materials are all sand and gravel taken from the bottom of the river, and they are all relatively low. A few houses have windows open to block the wind and sand with glass.

Coming to an inn run by Sogdians, the sharp-eyed Xiao Er hurriedly ran out.

"Guest, come and sit in our shop. The sun is so poisonous, but it doesn't damage the sun. The accompanying caravan members all looked at Li Dahai with longing eyes, obviously meaning to rest.

Seeing this, Li Dahai ordered a few people to follow Xiao Er to the back of the inn and look at the goods. The others followed him into the inn to rest.

The members of the caravan, who had long been too hot to stand, immediately rushed in.

Before they could sit down, the shopkeeper poured them water. Everyone gurgling, and after a few sips, they were still unsatisfied.

After a long day's journey, it's time to eat. Li Dahai originally wanted to bring dry food in exchange for chickens, ducks, melons and fruits as lunch on the way.

But now that I've come to the inn, I've naturally solved it all together.

I ordered hundreds of scones, pickled cucumber strips, verdant 'Jergis' greens, and roast lamb. There are also some fruit and melon platters and vegetable salads.

In the Malu region, salad was originally a favorite dish of the aristocracy. It is said to have come from the Governor's Palace in Khorasan! Some inns that were good at running inns learned about the preferences of the aristocracy and began to add salads to their recipes.

And some Byzantines, based on the original food culture, are no strangers to salads. After all, the origin of salad began with the Roman Empire.

In this way, the salad began to spread to the periphery with Malu as the center.

This kind of cuisine is very common in the land of Persia. But for those party members and Han people in the Xia Kingdom, it is not very agreeable. As for the Kunlun people on the islands of the South Seas, the food is very simple and primitive.

So this food that has been cooked makes them feel like a human delicacy.

Either way, everyone ate to their heart's content. Because when you're hungry, any food is delicious.

In addition, they have never eaten such fine food all the way.

After all, in order to hurry on the road, it is rare to enter the inn to rest. And at this time, the people who run the inn are not serious people. They colluded with robbers and often did things that killed people and made money.

It wasn't until they entered the relatively peaceful territory of Khorasan that they dared to go to the inn to buy some food and cook it themselves.

It's the first time I've eaten at the inn now. Everyone also thanked Li Dahai for his kindness and expressed their gratitude.

It was also a lot of people in the caravan, who were joined by the territory of Daliao. They originally lived in the area of Yemili, and were affected by the war, and their families fled to the hinterland of Daliao.

But without land, many people don't have enough to eat. Some have become shepherd slaves of large families, and their lives are very hard. It's still lucky! Many people don't even want to sell their bodies, so they can only become beggars and beggars on the street.

Some joined the bandits and did some robberies and houses.

Li Dahai thought that Li Chengji had always attached the most importance to craftsmen with a skill, so he recruited some craftsmen and brought them to Malu together. When many people who had nothing to eat heard the news, they joined in. As a result, the size of the caravan is also getting bigger and bigger.

In this way, the number of people in Puhua has exceeded two hundred.

Gao Yi, who was the caravan guard, did not let his guard down! Instead, when eating and drinking, he still carries the knife with him. The guards were also ordered by him to not dare to unload their weapons. Although there was some resentment, Gao Yi was the head of the guards, and they didn't dare not listen.

After eating and drinking like this, and resting for half an hour, Li Dahai ordered the caravan to continue on the road. The shopkeeper who ran the inn personally sent them to the street entrance, and his face was full of smiles.

After all, Li Dahai and they have eaten so much that they have caught up with their income for most of the month.

Although the sun had gone west, the heat in the air had not diminished much. All of them were dressed in large white or gray robes and covered their faces. Except for a pair of eyes, they were all tightly covered.

When they returned to the fork in the road, some people with baskets, baskets, and backpacks were waiting there. However, as a major commercial town close to the official road, the people of Baidam Town have become accustomed to caravans coming and going.

Therefore, whenever a caravan passes by, they will take out their own goods and exchange them for goods.
