Hey, hey, hey...... Ben Gongzi was happy to bloom, and he saw that the corner of Wang Jin's forehead on the side was dripping with cold sweat, and he thought that Ben Gongzi was angry that he was not doing his job well, so he hurriedly made a smile and said: "My lord, please be relieved, the hundred gold coins of the lower official, but even the formula was bought, otherwise, just this bottle of sesame oil and perfume, there are only a dozen gold coins on the top, and the small one specially translated the formula into our text, which is the original manuscript of the formula, this is the translated ......" Wang Jin, this guy laughed very deceitfully, and cooed like a night owl.

"Okay, great, with this thing, this hundred gold coins are worth it." I was so happy that I took it and spread it out in my hand and looked at it, well, the translation was very detailed, and the ingredients were written out, what lavender, rosemary, pine, coriander, parsley, bergamot, bitter almond, bay, rose, mint, olive oil, etc.

They do this in two ways: they add the crushed spices to oil and water, put the mixture into a long-necked vial, and bake the bottle on the ashes for a day, where they process it to make the essential oil.

Another way is to apply grease to a smooth stone slab, and then put it in a closed clay pot, put a large number of picked petals into it, every once in a while, when the petals have not withered, take out the old petals, and then add new ones, over time, the oil will absorb the fragrance of the flower, and then mix the oil and spirits that have absorbed the fragrance, so that the fragrance is transferred to the strong oil, and perfume is prepared, and this oil can be added to the ashes of the soap leaf grass, and soap can be made.

In addition, the recipe also stated that whale feces or musk must be added as a stabilizer to make the fragrance last, which made me wonder: "Whale droppings? What the hell is this? Can they collect whale feces from their western barbarians? "No, don't you know how to raise whales these years?

Wang Jin said with a smile: "This is a mistake on the part of the lower officials, in fact, the lower officials inquired, and the whale dung they are talking about is the ambergris that our Datang refers to, in their opinion, it is the dung of a giant fish in the sea that can swallow the boat and devour the island." ”

------------------------------------------------ Wang Jin also came to the seeds of these spices, mainly because this guy also knew the mission I gave them, that is, to find all the species that I did not have in the Tang Dynasty, and to find ways to bring those things to the Tang Dynasty for cultivation at all costs, and he brought the seeds of these spices, some of which were purchased from the hands of Persian and food merchants, And some were obtained from Byzantine merchants.

After Wang Jin opened the package that he had placed next to him after entering the door, he took out a small cloth bag, and after the cloth bag was opened, there were many small bags inside, and each bag had their order marked with numbers, seventeen or eighteen small bags, and in these small bags, there were seeds of various plants on the whole side, and there was a booklet on the side.

"Xiaguan doesn't know what our Tang Dynasty is lacking, so when Xiaguan traveled around Byzantium and the Voice of Persia over the years, he bought all the plant seeds he could buy. I don't know how many things will work together. Wang Jin smiled a little embarrassedly and explained. Then he picked up the booklet and handed it to me: "In addition, the lower official was afraid that after a long time, he couldn't remember what he bought, so he first asked the other party about the use of these things, the cultivation method, and what their names were, all of which were recorded here." Please take a look. ”

"Okay, Wang Jin, this official really can't see it, you are so careful, it's rare, Wang Xing is really a good comrade, it's really rare. With this heart for work, he is worthy of being the elite who came out of our concert hall. "I was very pleased to pat him on the shoulder, happy, talented, and more importantly, conscientious and conscientious.

I carefully opened the pamphlet and looked at it page by page, among them, I knew several plants from his translated names and their uses, some of which have been collected in recent years, and some that we have not yet collected, the roses, lavender, parsley, olives, peppers, etc. on the top are the first time to see, pepper, this thing is definitely valuable, I remember that it can only be planted in the south, but it doesn't matter, when the time comes, let the eldest brother send a few farmers to Liuqiu Island or try planting in the area of Linyi Country, There will definitely be a place with the right environment. I really didn't expect that this guy's achievements over the years would bring me too many surprises.

You must know that for those Western barbarians in Europe who only know how to throw big white meat into the pot to stew soup and then nibble and play, pepper is like the fire of love ignited in their chests, even at the cost of killing each other, what does this mean? It shows that although pepper is indeed a good spice, it also shows from another side that the food preparation methods of Western barbarians are quite scarce, and I am afraid that there is no other way to eat it except boiled meat in plain water, or barbecued pork.

"Poor thing! The brutes ...... "I took a grain of pepper with pity, put it to the tip of my nose, sniffed, shook my head and sighed. Wang Jin on the side didn't quite understand, but he didn't need to figure it out, anyway, after he tasted the orthodox delicacy of the Tang Dynasty here in Ben Gongzi, he would be able to comprehend my current sigh.

I am sincerely grateful to the management of the Time Authority, who gave me this precious opportunity to come to the Tang Dynasty, where food is diversified, food is endless, and there are many kinds of alcohol, instead of the Western barbarian country with a rag wrapped in a bare ass.

Continue to look at the contents of the book with great interest, and compare them with the number on the bag. Carrots, spinach, kale, round cabbage? "What is this?" I subconsciously pulled Wang Jin and asked him to come over and understand the words on this booklet. "What is this round cabbage?" We know cabbage, and we love to eat it, and the picture of fried shrimp in cabbage often appears in various cooking advertisements in later generations, but this round cabbage is really the first time we have heard of it.

Wang Jin gestured for a long time before I understood, and couldn't help laughing: "Isn't that cabbage, hehe, the name of this round cabbage really embarrassed the official." Well, this cabbage is a good thing, this thing, in our territory, if stored properly, can be eaten for a winter. That's great. It's rare that you put your heart into it, I'm afraid it cost a lot of money to these seeds, right? How about it, has the cost of the intelligence station been tight in recent years? ”

------------------------------------------------ "Don't be nervous, don't forget that our identities are all merchants, besides, as long as our Datang goods are taken to the Persian Protectorate, as long as you are willing to sell, even if it is the silk robe you are wearing, they are willing to pay a high price for you to take it off, and then change it into other clothes." In addition, you give us a lot of preferential goods every year, and many of the brothers are still joking, if we retire in the future, we will simply come to this business, which is too easy. ”

"And according to your instructions, at present, just in the market that has just built the Persian capital protectorate, the trade of our Jinjuan Academy accounts for more than 20%, not counting the surrounding Central Asian countries, but there are many industries that belong to our Tang Jinjuanyuan, but only our people know." Wang Jin said to me excitedly, but also, in the early years of intelligence work, you were a foreigner in the past, and you didn't do anything to wander around, what identity can you use? Who will trust you? In the name of a merchant, this is the best, after all, our goods are extremely popular in those places, which also makes it easier for them to carry out their work under the cover of their status.

"This is great" is too confidant, this guy I can't wait to kiss him to show gratitude, seeing his obscene old man's face, I thought about it seriously or forget it, but we are not the kind of people who are not rewarded for their merits.

I pulled him to sit down: "This matter, this official will definitely show you and all my colleagues in the Tang Western Regions Intelligence Station for meritorious service, and this official will work hard for you, hoping to award you a collective second-class merit medal to reward you for your contribution to the Tang Empire." By the way, I haven't eaten here from Chang'an, Fang Cheng, tell the kitchen to bring it to my son, and the bottle of old wine buried in the backyard, take out a bottle for me! ”

Fang Cheng went in response, my actions made Wang Jin's face happy and moved, all those who have received meritorious service awards, who cannot receive them, must be personally awarded meritorious medals to their families by the chief officials and adjutants of local governments, and the significance of meritorious medals is more than that, well, not to mention others, you must know that at present, there are several intelligence stations that can be awarded collective third-class merits, but the collective second-class merits are only the Liaodong intelligence stations of the year, the people of Datang have always been honored more important than life, don't underestimate a medal, That's something you can't measure with money.

"Your Excellency's grace, my subordinate will thank you on behalf of all my colleagues in the Tang Western Regions Intelligence Station...... The hard work of Xia Guan and others in the past seven or eight years can be recognized, and we are still honored even though we are dead. Wang Jin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and was extremely moved.
