Chapter 151: Roach Waist Wear
The reason is that when people go to a new place and see new things, they like to collect some souvenirs with local characteristics. For example, when the people of the Northern Spirit Kingdom come to Yanling Country to trade, they will like to buy some silk from Yanling and go back, because the cold land of Beiling cannot produce silk at all.
But there is a premise for this, that is, Yanling allows Beiling to buy and take away silk! Otherwise, if there was no customs clearance list for Yanling, Beiling would not be able to bring the silk out of the customs at all.
In the Central Plains, each country has its own unique resources. Beiling is the country that trades the most with Yanling, and Beiling is rich in the most Hanyu. This is something that can not be seen in a place like Yanling, where the climate is often warm, and the handicrafts and jewelry made of cold jade are deeply loved by the nobles of Yanling, because rare things can set off the nobility and extraordinaryness of identity.
For Beiling, in fact, cold jade is also a rare thing, but they don't have the technology to process cold jade, even if it is rare, it is a useless stone for them, far less beautiful than silk to wear.
So the region determines the characteristics!
The country's resources do not flow out easily, which is also a kind of protection for one's own country. Because resources may seem ordinary in your own country, but in other countries where materials are scarce, they may be treasures that are difficult to buy. If you don't have the money to buy it, and you don't have anything to exchange, then I'm afraid it will invite the disaster of war that you have to steal or rob.
In fact, this principle is still true even in modern times, just like oil, whichever country has oil will be rich, but at the same time, there will be the most wars. Therefore, don't believe that the high-sounding reasons for starting a war are actually grabbing land, things, and resources.
This is still the case between the five countries, not to mention a foreign country of Luoqi, people are not stupid, and they dare not expose their precious resources, and they are afraid of attracting thieves!
Li Siyu went to Luo Qiguo for a month, and it was only for a month. The language barrier, and the lack of understanding between each other, no one will be honest out of self-protection, let alone let Li Siyu take away any items from his country. In particular, any item that is engraved with its own words and symbolizes one's own country is a special item among the contraband.
Everyone understands this truth, so it is basically impossible for Li Siyu to do Lan Shuang's proposal. And Lan Shuang deliberately mentioned that he wanted to print something with the Luo Qi language, which was even more difficult.
The racers of Xiyue and Beiling naturally understood the difficulties, and the two hesitated for a moment, then they both nodded in agreement.
Lee Si Woo has given an extremely low-key impression from the beginning of today's match, but his moves can always surprise people. Zong Jingliang and Lan Shuang are amazing in performance, and it is easy to win everyone's attention, on the contrary, Li Siyu is hidden behind these brilliance.
The game entered the point of winning and losing, winning or losing, and Li Siyu accumulated thick and thin. When the game came to the most critical moment, he took all his opponents into his game with a big gamble.
Unexpectedly, the remaining three opponents made an impossible request to him, and Li Siyu revealed extreme helplessness in his attitude and tone. Even Li Siyu asked the presiding officer to ask the envoys of the five countries whether they approved of Lan Shuang's proposal, and whether they could use another method.
But the answer was yes, as long as Li Siyu could come up with something with the Luo Qi language in it, the five countries unanimously recognized Li Siyu as the winner.
The envoys of Dongning, Xiyue, and Beiling all guessed that Li Siyu would not be able to take it out at all, and now is the best time to take the opportunity to eliminate Li Siyu.
But Li Siyu disappointed them! When Li Siyu got the final affirmative answer, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The depression and helplessness he had just now disappeared in an instant, and he slowly stood up with a smile on the corner of his mouth, caressing his shirt, and his movements were elegant and chic.
He reached into his bosom, fumbled for a moment, and took something out of his bosom. After touching it several times with his hand, after confirming that it was correct, he pinched it with one hand, lifted it above his head, and said loudly: "You have to see the things of Luo Qi Kingdom, I didn't want to reveal this thing." But since it is a matter of the country in general, I can't do it, so I have to give it away! ”
The audience was in an uproar, screams came and went, and the racers in the Yanling Waiting Area were even more excited to stand up and cheer.
Lan Shuang couldn't see it but could hear it, Li Siyu's words just now made her heart chill, and she said secretly: "Oh no! fell for him, could it be that his helplessness just now was all pretended? Is the gamble he proposed to lure us into his game? Does he really own anything with the Roach script? How is this possible? Is there really a Roach country? ”
In fact, Lan Shuang didn't think that Li Siyu's words were true from the beginning! After more than 500 years in the Central Plains, no one has ever been to the world outside the Central Plains, let alone said that there is another world outside the Central Plains. Why did Li Siyu conjure up a Luo Qi country with one mouth today? What's more, he is a weak scholar, what ability can he have to step beyond the Central Plains?
Li Siyu's words, Lan Shuang fundamentally believed that he was talking nonsense, the purpose was to confuse the public and win in chaos. For this reason, Lan Shuang also secretly told himself not to be fooled by Li Siyu's words and fall for him. In order to debunk Li Siyu's lies, Lan Shuang deliberately raised the difficult problem of asking Li Siyu to come up with something with Luo Qiguo's characters to prove it.
Unexpectedly, Li Siyu actually took it out. Lan Shuang's eyes were invisible, and his heart was in chaos, and he couldn't wait to take off the black cloth on his eyes and snatch Li Siyu's things to see what was going on.
The two racers of Xiyue and Beiling were shocked when they heard that Li Siyu really had something from Luo Qiguo, and they were full of cold sweat, secretly complaining about why they agreed with Lan Shuang's suggestion, but now they regret it.
Li Siyu held the thing and said loudly: "This thing is the waist of Luo Qi country, and the Luo Qi country character engraved on it is a 'and' word, which was given by an old man who lived in a people's house when I was in Luo Qi country, and this and word is taken from the meaning of 'home and everything is prosperous'." I also ask the presiding officer to present it to the envoys. ”
The presiding officer stepped forward, took the matter from Li Siyu's hands very respectfully, and immediately ran towards the main stage. In the process of getting to the main stage, the presiding officer felt that this thing was heavy in his hand, and it felt like both stone and jade, and he couldn't guess what material it was. And the style is strange, a square stone mold, inch thickness, and there is a tongue like a clip behind the stone mold.
After a cursory look, the presiding officer didn't see how this thing was used, but on the front of the stone mold, there was a clear engraved pattern exactly the same as in "Quotations from Heaven and Man".
The presiding officer came to the main stage and respectfully handed this thing to Li Mingzhong of Xiangguo.
The surprise in Li Mingzhong's heart was no worse than anyone in the field, because he didn't know anything about what Li Siyu said. At the beginning, he also had the same idea as Lan Shuang, thinking that Li Siyu was talking nonsense in order to win. But now that the real thing was in his hands, his surprise was even stronger.
Holding this waist pendant, Li Mingzhong looked at it very carefully, he was afraid that what Li Siyu presented was a fake, if it was debunked by others, it would not be as simple as winning or losing a game. But after reading it, Li Mingzhong can be sure that this thing will definitely not be a thing in the Central Plains Continent.
Why was he so sure? Because of this thing called the waist wear, throughout the entire Central Plains Continent, no one would wear this kind of thing at all.
Regardless of men and women in the five countries of the Central Plains, there are countless ornaments and things to wear. And what men value most are two kinds of ornaments, one is a ring, and the other is a wearing ornament.
These two kinds of jewelry can best distinguish the dignity of status, what level of people can use what level of materials to make jewelry. Ornaments are ornaments pinned to the waist of men, no matter what material is made, a long rope will be pinned to the waist to show identity.
But like this waist wear, it is a wearing method that is directly hung on the belt, and the Central Plains does not have this habit at all. And although this waist pendant can't see what material it is made of, it doesn't feel like a precious and rare material from the feel, but it is in line with what Li Siyu said is an object worn by ordinary people.
The most important thing is that the front of this waist pendant is clearly printed with the text of a Luo Qi country, so anyone who looks at the characteristic text will know it.
