() The sound of laughter woke up Xu Yilong, who was digging wild vegetables by the lake, and he raised his head to the happy nine little guys, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and his face showed a hint of relief.

Zhang Xiaobao happened to be when Xu Yilong raised his head, at this time, Xu Yilong no longer had the vigor when he followed the team before, and the whole person seemed very easy-going and natural.

Zhang Xiaobao knew that this was a sublimation of thought, and when Xu Yilong went back, he would be a lot higher than the others of the same generation, in that case, he would have an explanation with the old man Xu Jian.

At the same time, Datang will have one more available talent, or a good official.

Don't have children reading now, the requirements for learning during the imperial examination are getting higher and higher, which feels very fair, but in fact, it can't offset the advantages of the official family in any way.

This is inevitable, the same situation exists in any country and era, whether it is China, the United States, the United States, or Islamic countries, origin has always played a very important role.

So since you can't stop it, it's better to find a way to improve the personal quality of the official's brother, and if you can't cut off the water with a knife, you can use the method of adding fuel to the fire.

Use the system to limit some power, and use humanity to influence some officials, even if there are still all kinds of corruption~corruption~corruption~ corruption in the end, but their number will naturally decrease. Try to improve the ability of officials, and at the same time ensure the relative income of officials, their income must be in the upper echelons of society, and their welfare must be higher than that of ordinary people, otherwise they will be very strongly tempted.

"Yilong, how many wild vegetables have you dug up?" Zhang Xiaobao, who was in a good mood, beckoned to Xu Yilong and shouted.

Xu Yilong slowly stood up, holding a basket in one hand and a leek sickle in the other, walked towards this side, and after taking a few steps closer, he tilted the basket so that Zhang Xiaobao could get to the wild vegetables inside, and said, "There are not many." It's only a small half basket, and it's enough to boil soup for a few people, but it's not good for stir-frying. ”

"Huh? How is it different? Xiaobei jumped twice in front of Xu Yilong, carefully looked at the other party from top to bottom, and looked at the wild vegetables in the basket, looking curious.

Xiaobei felt that Xu Yilong in front of him seemed to be a different person compared to before, speaking in tone and action. The feeling given to her is calm, not deliberate or pretentious. The gaze is not aggressive, but so soft.

"You're changing too fast, what's the matter? Teach me, you teach me to change my face, I teach you to negotiate, I'm very good at negotiating. ”

Xiaobei touched Xu Yilong and said to him.

"I want to thank you, in fact, I am still me, but I met you and it was a little different. As for your skills, I must learn them, even if I cook and eat for you every day, I must also learn all your skills, otherwise I won't have run so far in vain? ”

Xu Yilong lifted the basket in his hand and said to Xiaobei, meaning that he was going to cook today.

Xiaobei took a step back and waved his hand: "Don't." Learn from each other, as for cooking, you spare us, you are a good person, you can't torture us like this, but what...... We have a spice called thirteen spices. It's still good, don't believe you ask Seymour Tamaho chief. ”

Becky smiled again and turned to Seymour Tama.

Seymour Tamahe's face was not very good, and when he was negotiating just now, he really wanted to bully the little guys, and wanted to exchange an ivory bead for fifty catties of salt for Xiaobei.

His idea is very good, it is safe to change the salt to his own hands, although he follows the team of Datang, and the salt that has been discussed before is also to eat. But if one day people get angry, or if the whole team doesn't have enough salt, it will inevitably cause a burden to the people of their own tribe.

If the little ones can exchange a few more ivory beads, they will have a lot of salt, which will melt in the water, and a sip of it will make people feel strong.

As a result, Xiaobei asked a few people what kind of seasoning they needed to match, and said that if they sold salt directly, they would not sell it, and they must match the seasoning.

So this seasoning is expensive, said that there are eighteen kinds of seasonings, with salt one by one, and then two or two, three or three, until eighteen kinds of matching, the result is that there are one hundred and fifty-three kinds of simple two kinds of seasoning and salt, and then add eighteen kinds of salt alone, it becomes one hundred and seventy-one, and then add three or three matching, four or four matching, etc., I am confused, anyway, there are many, many more.

In this way, it is obviously not possible, and Seymour Tamahe is not stupid, so he wants not to talk about other things, only salt.

Of course, it is impossible for Xiaobei Jiu to sell the salt directly, don't have a lot of salt in the Tang Dynasty, you have to bring it with you to be useful, otherwise if you don't eat the salt, people will get sick. It is precisely because of this that they use salt as the main condition to talk about other spices.

Because there are a lot of local seasonings, except for the chili pepper, many other seasonings are growing well, Xiaobei they are still very puzzled, why there are many seasonings growing in the local area, where do they know, if there are not so many types, their brothers and sisters at that time in India can not eat curry every day, even if it is introduced from outside, it must take into account the climate, so it is said that the local production itself.

They took out a few pieces of venison jerky and let Seymour Tama taste it, deer

Jerky is made with several spices, and it is impossible for them to carry the spices on their bodies, and the taste is too unpleasant.

After eating Seymour Tama, I felt that it was really good, and then I heard Xiaobei say that it tasted better with more spices, and I couldn't help but be tempted.

They struck while the iron was hot, saying that they could provide Seymour Tamaha and his people with this spice in unlimited quantities, and as long as they could eat it, they would pour everything they could, including salt.

The premise is that Seymour Tamaho also needs to give everything he has.

Seymour Tamaha was pleased, and said, "You can give me as much as I want?" Xiaobei said no, it's how much you can eat, if you eat one pound of salt a day, you will be given one pound for each person, and if you can eat two pounds, you will be given two pounds.

They went back and forth to each other on this issue, Seymour Tamahe was very tired, there were nine people, and he was just one, and after talking for half an hour, he promised to come down, and he was in a good mood when he agreed, and he thought he could hunt ivory or something, but he couldn't find spices and salt.

Just when he went out, Xiaobei said to him that the seasoning is available locally, and if they want it, they need to send someone to pick it, and then someone in the team will make it, and they can eat as much as they want, provided that they have to pick it. If you don't pick it, it's okay, your own team will pick it and provide you with spices, but if your own team picks things, the usual wild hunting will be handed over to your tribesmen.

When Seymour Tamaho knew that he had a situation in his own area and that he needed to work for his own people, he became frustrated.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are tired and depressed like him.

Of course, the nine little guys are happy, because they still have a back hand, they do not usually eat thirteen incense, but it does not mean that thirteen incense is not valuable, the Tang people still have a lot to eat, and if they continue to move forward, they can also sell it to them if they enter the territory of many cannibals.

And thirteen incense or eighteen incense in addition to the influence of the season, there is also a secret recipe for processing, either you get together thirteen kinds of plants or thirteen incense, if the match is not good, people will get sick when they eat it, the things inside are dried and yīn dry, special also need to be smoked.

This was not told to Seymour Tamaha, and it was not included in the agreement, and when the time came, they would take the types that were now in the solar terms, and process them into ten copies, and just give them one copy, and it would be said that the process of processing had failed.

Seymour Tamago doesn't know it right now, otherwise it is estimated that he will fall to the ground again, and nitroglycerin will not be able to save it.

When he heard what Xiaobei said, Seymour Tamahe smiled at Xu Yilong, and the smile was very reluctant.

Xu Yilong didn't need to ask to know what was going on, he had heard too many legends about Xiaobei when they negotiated with others, and he knew better about Thirteen Xiang, although this thing was not very cheap, but it was not so expensive that it was unbearable.

Even ordinary people, usually don't eat, spend more than a dozen dollars to buy a pack, throw it at home, and wait for guests to come to make dishes to enhance the taste, just like tea, that pack is enough to eat for half a month, and people who live a little better can eat it casually.

Its biggest role is to make meat, even if your cooking skills are poor, you cook a chicken, cook some pork, put water in the pot, put thirteen spices, the taste is very good, salt to put last, this is the current rule, put salt in advance will find the same saltiness with more salt, unless it is specially made lo-mei, then you must put salt first, and then you need to soak for a long time.

Xu Yilong was wondering at this time how Xiaobei and how they used the thirteen incense to bully Seymour Tamahe, Seymour Tamahe's state was obviously wrong, this was just sick, it was really not easy.

However, Seymour Tama who was in a bad mood suddenly showed a peaceful smile after Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan got together, and he figured out in an instant that his own things may not necessarily be his own.

Since you follow the Tang people, you still have a lot of good things in your hands, what will be the consequences? It's better to take this opportunity to exchange it for nine children, thinking that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan will be happy when they have more good things for their younger brothers and sisters.

"Huh? You're going to change your face, too. Xiaobei was about to show off his achievements, when he suddenly found that Seymour Tamoha's expression had also changed, and he couldn't help but be deeply puzzled.

Zhang Xiaobao said to Xiaobei with a smile: "They don't change their faces, they change their hearts, people, they know how to make trade-offs, so their hearts are wide, follow and clean up, let's leave in two days." ”

"Oh!" Xiaobei agreed, but still didn't understand what was going on, and found that he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he stopped thinking about it, snatched the basket in Xu Yilong's hand, grabbed one end by himself, and handed the other end to Xiao Yuan, and the two of them jumped and ran towards the camp with the basket.

"Is there anything else I need to do?" Seymour Tamahe asked Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

"Don't carry too many things, especially wooden tools that you don't usually use, throw them away, and when everyone arrives, those who are sick are gathered together." Zhang Xiaobao said to Seymour Tamahe.

Seymour Tamahe hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I know, kill the sick." ”

"What did you say?" Zhang Xiaobao asked in surprise.
