Wokotai saw it and was a little surprised: "These confidential and important matters, Khorasan is so public? ”。

In his eyes, the payment of money and grain taxes is a secret of the state, and non-idle people cannot know about it. But Khorasan was like a cabbage, casually announced. I don't know if I really think it's worthless or if it's a smoke bomb that was deliberately released.

When Tata Tonga heard this, he seemed calm and said: "The Khorasan government feels that this is a great joy for the whole world to celebrate, and the people know it. ”。

This is the self-confidence of a superior person!

I'm not afraid that others will know, but I'm afraid that others won't know. So that all may see the riches and strength of Khorasan.

Ögedei did not understand the actions of the Khorasan government. Including the compassion for the soldiers, the migration of the people, the support for business, and other national policies, he couldn't understand them.

Not only him, but also people in the army who are accustomed to solving problems with their fists, such as Tuo Lei and Ghazal, cannot understand the so-called 'good governance' in the mouths of the people of Khorasan.

But Tata Tuna understood.

Ordinary people are the most likely to be bought by Khorasan's 'good governance'.

At this time, the food began to be put on the table.

The life of the steppe people is relatively simple, and the food is relatively extensive. The food of Khorasan brings together the characteristics of different ethnic groups such as the south and the north, and combines them with innovation, making many classic dishes.

Like Malu roast lamb. He hollowed out the entrails of the sheep and stuffed them with grapes, rice, nuts, etc., and roasted them over the fire. Coupled with cumin and some special sauces, it is tender and delicious to eat, refreshing and pleasant.

However, the price is more expensive!

The price of a Malu roast lamb in Yipinju is five dinars. The average Khorasan person's monthly income is worth five dinars. Therefore, ordinary people can't afford to eat.

Wokotai has a special identity, so they are naturally not among ordinary people.

And alcohol.

Alcohol in Khorasan is subject to a tax.

It is also in the teachings of Islam that drinking alcohol is against the teachings. Although Puritanism did not mention the prohibition of alcohol, it did not promote excessive drinking. Therefore, in accordance with the doctrine, alcohol is included in the list of taxes.

However, depending on the type of liquor, the tax varies.

The most expensive is the liquor with a high alcohol content, the burnt knife, followed by the common wine in Khorasan, and finally the fruit wine made from different fruits such as apples and pears.

Among them, most of the liquor is exported.

The main country for sales is Mongolia.

Sixty percent of Khorasan's annual liquor production is sold to Mongolia. Now, with the establishment of the Kipchak Special Military District, trade routes with the principalities of Kievan Rus' have also been opened. The winters there are colder and longer than in Mongolia, and the sales of baijiu will definitely be better than expected.

In addition, the official distillery of Khorasan has produced another 'all-kill' grade liquor called vodka.

That's right, it is the vodka that every household in the Russian country will have in the future!

Now the output is not high, only in Malu, Puhua and other cities to promote a small area, the general wine shops, restaurants, can not get the goods.

There is also rum made from sugar cane. Sweet and fragrant, the winery is located in Karachi, where sugar cane originates, and there are already small-scale sugar cane plantations. Sugar production workshops are also concentrated locally.

Since, as with vodka, there is no mass production. As a result, production is limited and is only available in a few large cities such as Karachi, Malu and Puhua.

Yipinju is a high-grade hotel. In the future, it will be judged by the star rating, and it will be a proper five-star. New varieties like vodka and rum are naturally sold.

In order to increase sales and increase visibility. The winery also entrusts the wineries of various restaurants to help promote it in the form of free tastings.

Like now, the waiter in the store gave each of them a small pot of rum and vodka, and introduced: "Guest officer, this is the new drink in our store, you can try it without charge." ”。

Ogedai glanced at the attendant beside him, and saw that he had taken the waiter's flask and poured himself a glass. After drinking, there was nothing unusual, and then he nodded at Wokotai.

So he asked them to pour a cup for each of them, and after a sip, the taste was really different.

Somewhat similar to the burning knife, vodka has a fierce taste, which is strong and irritating like fire. But in terms of stamina, it is better to burn a knife.

Toray likes this kind of wine. The entrance is full of strength, which is just in line with the straightforward temperament of the prairie man.

Another glass of rum, sweet and astringent, somewhat similar to wine. But the latter is a little more powerful and sweeter. Tatatonga liked such a milder drink, so he drank an extra glass.

But Ogedai still prefers to burn knives. It has enough stamina and erupts like a volcano, which catches people off guard.

Afterwards, Ögedei ordered two bottles of rum and vodka.

It's not that he's stingy, it's that the drink is restricted. A maximum of two bottles can be purchased per table. Otherwise, there will be no other customers to sell.

After all, the main purpose now is not to rush sales, but to increase visibility.

It's just two bottles, and the price is not low. A bottle of vodka costs twenty-one dinars per unit, and rum costs seventeen. The former is brewed with staple foods such as barley and wheat, while the latter is made from sugar cane.

Khorasan has to collect taxes on the commercial use of staple grains, so the price is relatively high.

Maybe it was because of Wokotai's generous hand, and the waiter suggested to Wokotai that they should invite a few young ladies to sing and dance.

Yipinju has business cooperation with some female branches of Red Mansions. Entertainment and wine business like this has not only increased the revenue of Yipinju, but also helped the Women's Branch of the Red Chamber to expand its business channels.

Now all the restaurants and liquor stores in Khorasan with some financial resources have such forms of cooperation. Some teahouses with less financial resources also work with storytellers or jugglers who are relatively low-priced to help the shops attract business.

Wokotai: They are also very tempted by such a proposal from the store.

In the end, eating and drinking, there is a woman to accompany the situation.

So Yipinju immediately sent someone to notify the old bustard of the Red Mansion who had cooperation, and invited a few young women with excellent talents to come over.

Thanks to the puritanism, the social climate in Khorasan was not feudal and conservative. There are no particularly strict requirements for women's behavior. Therefore, the masks, black robes and other clothing common to Muslim women in later generations were not seen in Khorasan at all.

Even in the valley of the two rivers and North Africa, where Khorasan did not set foot in the valley, there was no rule that women should wear black robes and headscarves. And judging from the values of later generations, *** women in this era seem to be more open and free.

For this reason, during the Caliphate's time, some devout religious scholars deliberately proposed puritanical precepts for women, hoping to restrain women who believed in Islam. It is a pity that what was not implemented in the heyday of the Abbasid Empire is even more difficult to implement in the current situation of being divided for hundreds of years.

However, in Central Asia, the sunshine hours are long, and the sun's ultraviolet rays are strong. In addition, there are many deserts, and the days are hotter. Wearing a robe to cover your head and face can be protective. Therefore, there were many people in Khorasan who wore robes and headscarves.

But the colors are different, and black, which is too heat-absorbing, is rare.

And Yipinju is the female branch girl they invited from Wokotai, and her dress can be said to be quite open. Only a few pieces of cloth are used to cover the hidden parts of the interior, and the rest of the place is draped in translucent tulle. The perfume sprinkled on the body has the ability to stimulate hormones, which is the most likely to make people emotional.
