Chapter 230: Pirate Coffee
By the time the French wake up, it's already night!
In the evening, of course, the moonlight barbecue is brought up!
So, it was burned, roasted, drunk, drunk, and unconscious!
When you wake up again, you'll see the sun the next day!
Today is the day to find out about each other. Therefore, together with Captain Gauss and Captain Libsey, Kylguelen found Chen Lian, who was in charge of the reception: "Thank you for your majesty the king and your lordship's hospitality!"
Chen Zhizhi naturally knew what the other party meant, and the boss didn't want to waste time anyway: "Honorable envoy, honorable two captains, His Majesty the King is invited!"
When Kelguelen heard this, he said, "Okay! It is estimated that both sides have a desire to communicate! This is a good start! What can I say? A good start is half the battle!
As for what kind of ending is considered a success? Kyle Gueland hasn't figured it out yet! Let's talk and think about it!
"Treehouse, Gauss, why do I feel like I'm meeting a druid?" Kergueland and his party were brought to a house.
"This is the Han Chen State Council Hall. His Majesty the King has arrived. Please!" Chen Lenovo is now an archon.
"Chamber, no one else said, I thought it was the Druid's Council of Elders!" Libusy muttered. Yesterday's five-man platoon of guns suppressed his men, and of course even he was suppressed. This time, seeing such a shabby council chamber, the arrogance of the French is back!
Walking into the council hall, inside is a round table and twelve chairs.
"It looks like the Knights of the Twelve Round Tables. It's a pity that it's all made of pine wood, and it's worthless!" Li Buxi continued to complain.
"Hello, did you have fun yesterday? It's a poor place, I hope you understand. You may be seated!" After the Frenchman entered, the smuggler came out through the small door on the side of the mountain.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your hospitality!" said Kelguelen, with a polite remark, and then added: "I beg your pardon for taking the liberty of feeling that I do not understand a lot, and I would like to ask a few questions, may I?"
"Yes, I completely understand your doubts! After all, you don't know much about Han Chen, and it's normal to have questions! By the way, what do you drink? There is tea, coffee, and juice. ”
"Coffee, you have coffee here?" Kergueland wondered, a hundred years ago, the Pope had just approved this drink, and Europe was promoting it in high society!
"Aren't we close to Africa? My people passed through North Africa and brought me a few pounds of roasted coffee beans. Although the entrance is a little bitter, the aftertaste is fragrant!" The smuggling man said, can I tell you, is this a specialty of Xiaohonghuang?
"Let's coffee, thank you!" At this time, there were not many cafes in France. The three of them had only drunk it when they were eating.
Six large wooden cups were brought up, with lids covered.
When he saw the wooden cup, Li Buxi was arrogant again: "At first glance, he looks like a countryman! In today's Europe, it is either a silver cup or a porcelain cup in China." Who's still using wooden cups? Or pine. This clumsy wooden cup can only be seen in the countryside. ”
"Please!"
Seeing that the three country bigwigs on the other side of the round table had picked up the wooden cups, Li Buxi also lifted the lid of the cup, picked up the wooden cup, and prepared to drink coffee.
"Uh, why is it so fragrant?" Li Buxi smelled a fragrance that he had never seen before the moment he lifted the lid, and immediately took a sip.
"Uh, it's fragrant and sweet!" Refreshing!
Secretly glanced at Kylguelen and Gauss on the right, and found that the two of them were also poor and sour with one bite not enough. Well, it's almost the same as us, it's not a fool's errand!
"Well, your Majesty the King, is this kind of coffee a specialty of Han Chen Island?" Kelguelen was estimating, how much would this thing be worth in France?
"Alas, we don't have coffee at the latitude here! This is my people, brought from North Africa. ”
Remember, the king had already said that it was bought from North Africa. North Africa is too big, where is North Africa? Kerguelen did not give up: "Your Majesty, can you tell me the specific address of purchase?"
"Somalia!"
"Somalia, why haven't I heard of it?" Gauss, Libsi, is there such a city in North Africa?"
"Somalia, I haven't heard it either!" the two captains were also confused.
"Well, that's the Chinese name! Its English name is mogadishi. "Forget that Somalia is the name of the afterlife. The smuggler is embarrassed.
"Ah, it's Mogadishu! Thank you!" the French have another way to make money. As for whether you can buy this kind of Xiaohonghuang coffee beans, it doesn't matter what the smuggler does!
The aroma of coffee confuses the French. Fortunately, the king was not confused: "Well, Your Excellency the Honorable Envoy, I am curious, who has the final say in Europe now?"
"Huh?" said Kylguelan, "No, why did I forget to find out? No, people are here to find out!"
"The center of Europe is Rome in ancient times, Paris in modern times, Paris, the birthplace of modern civilization. "Because this is a king's inquiry, you can't blow it around. Kyle Guelen stole a change of concept.
"Your Majesty, can you please have anything to do with the Japanese in East Asia?" Gauss once sailed through Japan, and felt that the clothes of Hanchen Island were a bit similar to the Japanese.
"I'm Chinese! I have nothing to do with the Japanese! The Japanese just used the clothes of the Han Dynasty in China. When the smuggler heard Gauss's question, he could only roll his eyes! Mud horse! Why can't you see the crown on my head?
"Am I, then, the privilege of learning about Han Chen Island?" Kelguelen finally remembered his mission!
The King of the Country: "As you wish!, how much do you know about the Han Dynasty in China?"
French envoy: "I'm sorry, I don't know anything! I don't even know when the Han Dynasty ruled China." ”
Country King: "My ancestors, in the first century B.C., participated in a decisive battle between the Han Dynasty and the nomadic forces of the north. And, successfully beat the nomad out of the and drove it to the west. This is the most famous battle in Chinese history. "This is the skill of self-esteem! Otherwise, who knows who your ancestors are?
Then he flickered: "The nomadic people who fled westward after five centuries of long journey, in the fifth century AD, defeated the Gauls and occupied France!"
Three Frenchmen: "Huns!"
The countryside flickered: "Yes! Huns!"
