Chapter XXIV: The Search for All Parties (1)

When he arrived at the inn's kitchen, Deman saw that the bowl with the spices was almost completely empty, and it could be said that there was no curry powder left.

"This curry powder must be prepared with a variety of spices such as turmeric, fennel, chili, and peppercorns, mainly turmeric, I don't know if there is one, Meisheng Gong?"

"What is turmeric?" Meisheng had never heard the word.

"What's wrong?" Hearing that Meisheng ran to the cottage and pulled Deman away, Yuxian and Yuxin also hurriedly ran over to see what was going on.

"This maid knocked over the curry used to cook for the merchant group, and I heard that Deman could make it, so Mei Shenggong brought Deman here!" Takekata is simply the official commentator, delivering the latest news in real time.

"Go and inform all the Lang disciples and look for the turmeric that Deman said!" Meisheng gave an order to the attendants behind him. He turned to Deman and said, "When the people come, you can explain to them what turmeric is." ”

When Yuxian heard turmeric, he immediately recalled that he had been a family cook for more than 20 years in his previous life, and he still had experience in food, and the people of Silla had never heard of turmeric. Is that another name known? Forget it, let's wait until the disciples are here, Yuxian thought.

"That's something that can be eaten in a zhang red, the root is lumpy, and the edible is its root, which can be used for medicinal purposes, uh......" Deman struggled to explain what turmeric was.

"Is it a potato?" Takekata said.

"Definitely not, potatoes can't be used as medicine!" Other Lang disciples quipped.

"Alright, be still!" Yuxian interrupted the discussion of the disciples. "Deman, don't be embarrassed, turmeric is not called turmeric here, but I don't know if there is another name here?"

"What's the name, let's hear it, Yu Xianlang do you know?" When Meisheng heard that someone seemed to know, he immediately asked, and his eyes emitted a ghostly light like a wolf.

"I don't know if there's such a thing here, it's Curcuma! And turmeric is the root of curcuma. ”

"Curcuma! Isn't that for dyeing cloth? ”

"Yes, yes, will it eat the dead?"

"Curcuma?" Meisheng couldn't believe his ears. "Curcuma?"

"Yes, Curcuma!" Yuxian is sure.

"Brother, could you be mistaken?" Deman asked quietly, for fear that Yuxian would be mistaken, this is food, and it must not be sloppy at all.

"So, let them find you to verify it." Yuxian said with a doting smile.

"Quick, all set off, go and find curcuma, all of them!" Meisheng ordered, no matter what, verify it first.

Soon one of the disciples took back the fresh curcuma, and Deman plucked its roots, washed it, mashed it, smelled it, picked a little with his hand, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, it was really that thing.

"How's that, is it?" Meisheng came to confirm, I'm afraid it's not.

"That's it, Yu Xianlang, you are so knowledgeable!" In front of outsiders, Deman would not call his brother publicly. This is also the reason why the Mimuro party has not found out about the relationship between Deman and Yuxian for many years, and only thinks that it is the Lang apprentice that Hwarang pays more attention to. If it weren't for Yuxian asking His Majesty for help in finding Deman's background, everyone wouldn't know.

"O Deman, you will stay in the blister room to provide food for the merchants and the missions, and if you need anything, just mention it! I will definitely satisfy you, do a good job, and be rewarded! Meisheng is also very happy, and finally does not have to worry about currying favor with the mission.

"Yes, Mei Shenggong! I beg Takekata and Takashima to stay and help me! Deman replied.

"Yes, do it!" Meisheng smiled and left.

Returning to Langmen in the evening, Deman and Yuxian asked to see the princess.

"Deman!" The princess had a complicated expression when she saw Deman.

"Don't be so! None of this has anything to do with you, I have found a way to approach the Mission, and I will definitely find the Stoham plum blossom first. De Man said calmly, as if he had forgotten about the confession.

"Princess, after the past few days of inquiry, I think the way Mimuro gained status was by theocracy. The historical record of the beautiful room seems to be that she suddenly became the empress of the gods. Yuxian also reported his results.

"Theocracy?" Tianming and Deman looked at her at the same time.

The envoys of the Tang Dynasty arrived in the national capital on time, headed by an official surnamed Li, followed by a long team of businessmen from all over the world, in addition to the escort, escort and honor guard of the Tang Dynasty. Here, a guard wearing a cool hat and holding a knife is less noticeable. He led a stupid woman in a turban, and without anyone noticing, they all went into the city.

The mission was taken to the post house by the reception staff headed by Meisheng, and arranged to enter the court to meet King Zhenping.

"See the King of Silla!" The envoy nodded and saluted.

"Master Li, you have come from afar, you have worked hard!" King Zhenping returned the courtesy.

"Your Majesty the King of Silla, I brought a greeting from the King of Tang, the gold lacquer that the Silla Kingdom paid tribute to when the Celestial Empire accepted the court is very popular with His Majesty the Emperor, can you let me purchase it and bring it back."

"There is no problem with this, I don't know what His Majesty the Emperor has given to the Kingdom of God?"

"What does the King of Silla want?"

"I heard that His Majesty the Emperor has sent someone to compile a new almanac, can I reward a book?" King Zhenping's posture was very low.

"It's hearsay, nonsense. Almanacs are the treasures of the Celestial Empire, in fact, they can be compiled casually, and they cannot be given away casually. ”

"The golden lacquer is the treasure of our country, and this lacquer is produced on a kind of tree, and only a small part of it is collected by those who receive it every year. The Celestial Empire acquired, and my country did not dare to hide its smuggling, but this price ...... "B sacrifice saw that King Zhenping could not come to the stage, and immediately stepped forward to speak for King Zhenping."

"The price can be opened by your country, and then you can negotiate with my caravan." The messenger accepted it when he saw it, and if it really made things stiff, he was not easy to deal with. But the almanac meant divine power, and he could not make a decision for the emperor whether to give it to the country or not.

"Okay, please go back to the inn to rest. There will be a notice of the subordinate after the arrangement. King Zhenping saw that it was profitable, so he took the opportunity to go down the steps.

Meisheng guided the messenger back to the inn.

The guards in the caravan, wearing hats and leading stupid women, asked the caravan to resign, and they were at the gate of the inn.

"Lord Zhang, I have escorted you to your destination as agreed, and I will leave here!" His gaze was aimless, his eyes wandering, as if trying to find a target.

"Qisu, I've worked hard for you all the way, this is your expense, I put some more, please don't shirk!" Master Zhang is the head of the business group, and as the imperial merchant of the Tang Dynasty, he takes good care of Qisu all the way.

"There is a bag of things here, please help transfer it to the master of the Mimuro Palace, I'm tired!"

"It's too polite, it's not easy for you, you have to take care of that woman along the way, what are your plans?" Master Zhang is very sincere, and he really wants to help Qisu.

"I may have to travel far away, I haven't decided yet, I'm leaving, Lord Zhang, take care!" Qisu gestured.

"Take care!" Mr. Zhang also gave it away.

Stumbling all the way back to the inn, Qisu took the woman's hand and said, "Blazing fire, let's rely on each other for our lives in the future!" ”

Deman was walking in the inn when he met Master Zhang returning to the house with a bag of things, so he followed, and Baozong ran into her.

"What are you doing, Deman?" Baozong looked at Deman warily.

"I'd like to ask if the merchant group has any requirements for food." Deman was slightly flustered.

"The merchant group lives over there, don't you know?" Baozong said solemnly.

"Ah, yes! I panicked and forgot about it. Thank you Ho Soro! Deman hurriedly turned around and left.

"Wait!" Baozong stopped her again.

"What else does Bao Zonglang command?" Deman slowly turned his head again.

"You don't let you call you a general debate, how do you communicate with them, do you speak Chinese?" Bao Zong looked at Deman suspiciously.

"Ah, I forgot that I don't know how to speak Chinese, and there is Lao Bao Zonglang!"

Baozong called Shang Tongbi and Deman to go to the room of the leader of the merchant group, Lord Zhang, and it happened that the merchants of Magadha and Dashi were also there.

"Isn't this Homune Hanaro, the son of the master of the beautiful room?" When Baozong knocked on the door and brought people in, Master Zhang of the Tang Dynasty recognized him. "Hello!"

"Hello, Master Zhang, take the liberty of disturbing!" Bao Zong saluted.

"You're welcome, what's the matter?" Master Zhang was curious about the arrival of Baozong.

"This is my interpreter, I would like to ask him to tell you!" Pojong introduced the translation.

"Hello adults, I'll do it for you." The debate began the following conversation.

"What did they ask you about?"

"This apprentice asks if you have any requirements for food?"

"We don't ask for anything, except that I can't eat spicy food."

"Okay, thank you, my lords, let's go back!" Baozong greeted him and wanted to go back, but Deman saw that there was no chance to take advantage of it, so he added some more questions.

"Do you have any special requirements for garlic, cinnamon, fennel and other seasonings?"

"You! All the adults said that there are no requirements! Baozong was worried that the scandal would cause dissatisfaction among the merchant group, and he didn't want Deman to speak more, and he didn't want Deman to communicate more with the merchant group, for fear that Deman would see something.

"But everyone's taste may not be the same for seasoning!" Deman stood by his opinion.

"What's wrong?" Master Zhang was about to discuss something with the two merchants, and seeing that they were still not leaving, he opened his mouth to ask, and Baozong had no choice but to signal the general argument to tell them Deman's words.

"My better not put fennel!" After listening, Master Zhang said.

"Mine is fine!"

"Mine is fine!"

"Excuse me, farewell!" Baozong said goodbye and took Deman away, Deman also felt that there was no excuse to stay, suddenly she saw the bonsai on the shelf, she had an idea, walked to the shelf and pretended to accidentally touch the hem of her clothes, and the bonsai fell to the ground and shattered.

"You guy, why are you always reckless?" Baozong was very angry, "I'm sorry, Master Zhang, I'll let her clean it up." ”

"I'll clean up after myself, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Deman also hastened to apologize.

"It's okay, don't blame her too much!" Mr. Zhang is very understanding.

Deman hurriedly lay on the ground to clean up the porcelain fragments, and Lord Zhang saw that there was nothing wrong with them, so he continued to discuss.
