Chapter 64: Coffee Frustration, Unexpected Joy!
Everyone's in trouble!
Still no one raises a glass to drink.
Zhao Longji raised his forehead slightly, shook his head and said:
"Right Xiang, you take the lead first."
For Xiang Guozhong, Zhao Longji likes to use it very much, although he is not as good as Li Linfu in governing the country.
But absolutely obedient and efficient.
Say it nicely!
This is called mobility.
Xiang Guozhong obeyed Zhao Longji's words, although he was still a little reluctant in his heart.
But he still drank it stubbornly.
Hundreds of civil and military officials looked over one after another.
Xiang Yan couldn't help but laugh when she looked at her cheap father.
This original coffee, without sugar or milk, Xiang Yan can't drink it herself.
Sure enough, after Xiang Guozhong tasted it, his reaction was similar to Wang Fuguo's.
Then!
Some ministers who do not believe in evil have also tasted it, watching others experience it, and experiencing it with themselves, which are completely two states.
Ultimately!
In the speeches of the ministers present.
The Persian envoy could only hold the coffee and left the Jinluan Palace.
Downwards!
Xiang Yan couldn't wait to say to Xiang Guozhong:
"Dad, I have something to do, go first."
Xiang Yan finished speaking!
Without waiting for Xiang Guozhong to react, he flew straight out.
After catching up with Honglu Siqing all the way out of breath, Xiang Yan put his arm on Shen Ji's shoulder.
Shen Ji, who has always attached importance to etiquette, was very dissatisfied.
This is the palace, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he even ignored etiquette and hooked his shoulders at will.
Shen Ji immediately wanted to teach a lesson.
But when I looked back, I found that it was Xiang Yanhou!
Shen Ji's attitude came, a 180-degree turn!
Because Shen Ji has always had a close relationship with Xiang Guozhong.
So now, although there is some dissatisfaction with Xiang Yan's behavior, it is more tolerant.
"Little Stone, why are you free to look for me today?"
Xiang Yan had already sorted out the list of people who had a good relationship with Xiang Fu in the family, and Shen Ji was recorded!
Xiang Yan replied casually:
"Uncle Shen, in the Jinluan Palace, I think the Persian envoys are quite interesting."
"The foreign envoys are all in charge of your Honglu Temple, so I want to ask, where do the Persian envoys live?"
Shen Ji waved his hand.
I originally thought it was something, but I didn't expect Xiang Yan to ask this.
Shen Ji didn't think much about it, and said to Xiang Yan casually:
"So that's the case, the Persian envoys live in the West Garden of the Honglu Inn."
"This is the token of Honglu Temple, you take this to Honglu Inn, you can see anyone you want."
As Shen Ji spoke, he ripped off a token from his waist and put it in Xiang Yan's hand.
Xiang Yan hurriedly took it, with a smile on her face.
It's good that it has something to do with it!
You can do one thing casually!
Xiang Yan said goodbye to Shen Ji and immediately left the palace, he turned over and went to the Honglu Inn.
……
"Stop, this is the Honglu Inn, the envoys are important, and those who have nothing to do with it leave quickly!"
Xiang Yan turned a deaf ear.
After dismounting himself, he took out the token and threw it over.
The doorman took a closer look, was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted:
"My lord spares my life, my subordinates have eyes and no beads, please don't blame my lord!"
Xiang Yan took the token from the doorman's hand and walked into the main entrance of the Honglu Inn.
Don't forget to command:
"You take care of your horse."
Seeing that Xiang Yan was not to blame, the doorman said with relief:
"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will take care of it!"
After Xiang Yan found the residence of the Persian envoy, he walked straight into the courtyard.
At this time in the courtyard.
Several Persian envoys were grim-looking.
Looking at the piles of coffee beans in the courtyard, he sighed repeatedly.
Thinking about the goods of my own country!
Quite scarce in the big week!
After shipping!
With the appreciation of the great Zhou Tianzi, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money!
Who would have thought that today, looking at the faces of those ministers, it would be full of bad reviews!
Now!
They're going to lose a lot!
This scene was all in Xiang Yan's view.
Then!
The Persian envoys found Xiang Yan, who was alive and wearing an official uniform!
Their faces were bewildered.
In fact, in the eyes of these Westerners, the people of Da Zhou are all about the same.
Face blindness due to geographical differences.
On the other hand, when the Great Zhou people look at these Westerners, they also feel that they look similar.
The only difference is that some Westerners have a full beard, while others have no beard.
Led by the Persian envoys.
Just be in a foreign country, try not to offend the host's principles.
He got up and bowed with the Great Zhou etiquette and asked:
"My lord, I don't know what's going on?"
Xiang Yan smiled, and replied directly in Persian:
"I will buy all the coffee beans you brought this time at the market price, are you willing?"
Xiang Yan is an archaeologist.
At the same time, I am also interested in the cultures of other ancient countries.
So I taught myself some foreign languages, but I didn't expect to use them here.
The Persians in the courtyard heard that Xiang Yan actually communicated with them in Persian.
For a moment everyone stood up, look at me, look at you.
After a brief moment of amazement.
The Persian envoy, who was the leader, replied in Persian with great excitement:
"Yes, I didn't think you could speak Persian."
"This batch of coffee beans, in order to thank you, the minister of the Celestial Empire, returned to the small Chinese language."
"I make my own opinion, we will charge a travel fee for this batch of goods."
"There are 2,500 kilograms of coffee beans here, and you can give 10,000 taels of silver, my lord."
After hearing this, Xiang Yan took a deep look at the Persian envoy.
Very satisfied said:
"Yes, this price is fair, if there are Persian caravans coming to Dazhou in the future, I will collect all their coffee beans."
As soon as these words came out, the Persian envoys were excited.
But then, the Persian envoy began to make trouble again, and he stopped talking:
"My lord, we actually have some cocoa beans here, I wonder if you want them?"
These years!
Persia's domestic food was plummeting, and the treasury was empty, except for the abundant harvest of coffee beans.
So the envoy took the coffee beans and prepared to try his luck in the Great Zhou!
But who knows!
The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and all the courtiers were not interested in coffee.
And cocoa beans!
It was only discovered by chance in Persia.
Although cocoa beans look similar to coffee beans, the Persians prefer the flavor of coffee.
As for the cocoa beans!
No specific use of it has yet been discovered.
This time, let's bring it to the big week!
It's more about trying your luck.
I thought that this trip to the Great Zhou could only end in failure.
But Xiang Yan's arrival!
It is undoubtedly a great help to them.
And after the Persian envoy said that he asked Xiang Yan to buy the cocoa beans as well.
They themselves lost their confidence in the first place.
Even their cocoa beans of origin have not found the value of cocoa beans.
Now peddle cocoa beans!
I don't have a score in my heart.
But!
When Xiang Yan heard the cocoa bean, her heart was instantly excited, but it was not obvious on the surface.
That's a good thing to come in pairs?!
All at once, I found coffee beans and cocoa beans.
Xiang Yan was very excited!
Let's not talk about coffee!
Cocoa beans are a good thing!
Isn't one of the raw materials used to make chocolate cocoa beans?
Plus some derivatives of cocoa beans!
It's a lot of money!
The business opportunities are unlimited, and it is difficult to make money if you don't want to.
At the same time, Xiang Yan also saw it!
The embarrassment of the Persian merchants.
He knows that in terms of price, he can make a cheap profit again!
