Chapter 276: Snow-White ...... sugar
Megan wasn't wrong at all, Emma and Sara are really beautiful.
Even Zhao Hongyu, a person who has seen too many beauties from major media in later generations, cannot admit the beauty of the two people.
Emma has a different kind of exotic style, and the unrestrained and enthusiastic Indian girl in her bones has been well reflected in her.
In addition, the Indians originally admired nature, which made her have a different view of many things, which is also most due to Zhao Hongyu.
With Emma by his side, Zhao Hongyu is a lot happier.
And Sara is completely different, she is mature, beautiful, and gives Zhao Hongyu another kind of style, which is something that the young Emma can't give to Zhao Hongyu.
It can be said that in the two of them, Zhao Hongyu experienced different feminine charms.
Especially one is still underage, and the other is at the peak of feminine charm.
I have to say that Zhao Hongyu is now enjoying what all men dream of.
Remembering her father's teachings, Emma raised her little face slightly, and nodded to Megan, who complimented her, without smiling. The leaders of the Indians behaved in this way when they saw outsiders.
is completely Indian, but also worthy of her current status as the queen of Indians.
For this alien queen, of course, Meghan will not let her abide by the rules of the European aristocracy.
Sara grabbed the corner of the puffy skirt with one hand, held a small folding fan in the other hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, bowed her head slightly and gave a noble salute.
Look, it's still our European etiquette that is much more pleasing to the eye.
Meghan thought to herself.
In his opinion, whether it is the handshake of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, or the proud nod of the little queen's Indians, it is not as beautiful and comfortable as the etiquette of Sara Europe.
Of course, this kind of thought will be pressed in his heart, and he will never say it. And on his face, you won't see anything either.
Aha. Hypocritical aristocracy.
"I'm planning to have a small dance party on my boat, I like a lot of people, and if it's convenient for me, I would be very grateful."
After Zhao Hongyu finished introducing Sara and Emma, he asked Megan softly.
"Oh, it's a great honor for my Highness, and I think those nobles will be crazy about it." , Meghan replied with a smile.
He replied like this, and Zhao Hongyu was sure that this matter was basically okay.
It's just that now Zhao Hongyu is not sure what kind of people are coming.
According to his plan. It would be better if there were some nobles among these people who were not pro-Spaniard, so that he could carry out his plan smoothly.
But this kind of thing can't be rushed, otherwise it will be troublesome to show your feet.
Zhao Hongyu is not a three-year-old child, he still has this patience.
"Then everything will be troubled for you, and if I can, I will order someone to prepare it now."
"Of course, my Highness, I think your ship will be very lively at night. Do you need me to prepare some musicians and chefs for you? ", Meghan asked,
Zhao Hongyu shook his head: "I have it on my ship, so you don't have to worry about this." In the evening you don't feel like enjoying exotic delicacies and music. Is it a wonderful thing? ”
Zhao Hongyu was not interested in the aristocratic court music of this era, and that thing would only make people drowsy after listening to it, so Zhao Hongyu rejected Megan's kind proposal.
And he was not interested in European food in this era, except for stewing, there was no trick at all. That kind of food is just rubbish.
This is simply torture for the greedy Zhao Hongyu.
Seriously, although the European food of this era was stewed, it was not worse than the stew in Northeast China.
Where there is a taste of Northeast cuisine. Then Zhao Hongyu didn't know that Lu Dao would be so resentful.
Just put some water and sprinkle a handful of salt, and after the food is cooked, is this called a delicacy?
To hell with it, I really feel sorry for the European aristocracy of this era.
Blockbuster movies can sometimes deceive people. What European aristocrats enjoyed exquisite pastries, that thing is a lie.
Such a life did not exist until the eighteenth century, and not every aristocrat enjoyed such a life.
And now this is the 17th century, and there are still more than 100 years to go.
Prices in Europe are now extremely high, and the people are miserable, even the aristocracy.
For someone like Megan, Zhao Hongyu is almost certain that taking off his boots and making it difficult for Ya's socks are all loopholes.
The European aristocracy in this era, that is, the surface scenery, is actually just an empty shelf inside.
"Frando!"
Megan turned around and shouted.
Teng Teng Teng, a fat man dressed in a servant's costume ran from not far away.
"Master, what do you command?"
Meghan looked at him very seriously, and said, "Go back immediately and use my business card to distribute it to the nobles in Lisbon, saying that His Highness Yu is going to hold a ball on his ship at dusk, and entrusted me to send them an invitation, hoping that they can come." ”
"Good master, I'll do it."
The fat man nodded in response, then turned around and disembarked and left.
"This is my butler, and with him by my side, mine is very comfortable."
Looking at the departing figure of the chubby Frando, Megan said to Zhao Hongyu.
"Having a comfortable butler will indeed save the owner a lot of trouble. And let the owner have more time to enjoy life, and the good things in life, instead of being entangled in some trivial things all day long, isn't it? ”
Zhao Hongyu echoed.
Meghan smiled: "Your Highness, your words can always make people ponder, and the philosophy contained in them is really admirable." Yes, with a comfortable butler, we are indeed a lot more relaxed, without them I dare not imagine myself dealing with those trivial matters. ”
Ha lu haha
Zhao Hongyu and Meghan pretended to be very happy and laughed.
Both guys are acting schools, and they were speechless for a while when they saw Sara next to them.
Only Emma didn't see anything wrong, and she couldn't figure out what was funny about saying something.
It's boring.
Afterwards, Zhao Hongyu took Megan to the top of the attic of the aft captain's room, where Wang Shan had already set up a comfortable sofa, as well as a coffee table and delicate snacks, and even brewed a pot of black tea and a pot of milk.
Turtles. Let me show you what life is.
The corners of Zhao Hongyu's mouth curled slightly, and he said secretly in his heart.
On top of this, you can enjoy the comfort of the fresh sea breeze on your face, far away from the noise of the shore and the foul smell of the streets.
Watching the surrounding ships slowly sail into the port, or slowly sail away, those sailors are constantly busy, and the feeling in my heart is so comfortable and comfortable.
The seagulls hovered in the sky, chirping twice from time to time, and then stopped on their poles.
"This is our specialty of the Americas, black tea and milk tea. You can taste it. ”
Zhao Hongyu motioned for Wang Shan to pour a cup for him and Meghan, and then reached out and made a 'please' gesture.
"What is this Your Highness?"
Megan's first exposure to this drink was really curious.
"It's a kind of tea, it's red when it's brewed, and it's different from the tea that people import from the East or Manhattan nowadays, and it's good for the stomach to drink it for a long time."
Zhao Hongyu smiled and explained to Megan.
Then, he first asked Wang Shan to pour some milk, then opened the lid of the glass container containing the white sugar in front of him, and then took some sugar with a small spoon and put it in the cup.
"It's different according to everyone's tastes. You can choose to add some sugar. ”
After stirring it and letting the sugar melt fully, Zhao Hongyu picked up the milk tea and took a sip.
Hah, it's delicious.
"Come on. Give it a try, too. After putting down the cup in his hand, Zhao Hongyu leaned his body on the back of the sofa, and then turned his head to look at Megan and said. But Meghan at this time. As if he had seen something incredible, his mouth opened slightly, like a big fool. "Ugh. Viscount Meghan, what's wrong with you? ”
Viscount Meghan! Viscount Meghan!
Zhao Hongyu shouted twice in a row, and Megan's body trembled, and then came back to her senses.
He was shocked to look at the glass container with white sugar on the coffee table in front of him, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Hongyu. His lips trembled, as if he was about to say something.
Probably because he was too excited, he couldn't speak at all.
"I said Viscount Meghan, what's wrong with you?" , Zhao Hongyu showed a very puzzled look on his face, and asked with concern.
"Temple...... Temple...... Your Highness, is this sugar? ”
It took a long time for Meghan to say a complete sentence.
Zhao Hongyu nodded, "Yes, this is the specialty of our empire, white sugar. What, are you interested in this? ”
It's not just interested, it's just too much interest.
Meghan is shouting wildly in her heart at this moment.
Seeing Meghan's reaction, Zhao Hongyu snickered in his heart.
Yes, the effect was as I expected, and there were no surprises at all.
He didn't understand why Meghan was like this, he was completely playing dumb.
In fact, Zhao Hongyu fully knew why Meghan seemed to be a different person after seeing Bai Sugar.
The reason for this is that the root is in the sugar.
Yes, snow-white...... Sugar......
In this era, there were several main trade commodities at sea.
Tea, silk, tobacco, slaves, cane sugar, ceramics, and gold and silver from the American continent. Of course, there are some other commodities as well, but they are not as profitable as the previous ones.
Sugar, in particular, is comparable to tea, silk and ceramics, which shows how much demand for sugar is in the European market.
Unfortunately, in this era, because of the process, the production is often sucrose, and the sugar content is not very high, and the appearance is not very good.
But all of this was reversed when Megan saw the sugar. (To be continued.) )
