Chapter 186: Emerald
The people of Daxia were stunned: it turned out that the energy of the Buddha was so huge, it was really respected regardless of nationality or race, and these natives were much more pious than they worshipped Buddha!
I have to say that the language barrier has created this beautiful misunderstanding. The chiefs of the other islands who came to participate in this ritual also presented them with the most beautiful capes of bird feathers.
also rushed to send the beauties of the tribe to this island, such hospitality, Heiwa they have no blessing. The sailors were given a fate, and the Shangguan Imperial Doctor also taught them a lesson, and they were afraid of the consequences of Hualiu disease.
Such primitive and backward, the island natives who regard bird feathers as valuables are really impossible to trade. The chieftains of the rest of the island also received silk gifts from Zhongqinbo, and seeing their respect for Shakyamuni, Heiwa felt that this embroidery was still beautiful.
Zhongqin Bo asked eight teenagers to help count the food and daily consumables on the ship.
People who do not cut wood and build ships are either picking all kinds of fresh fruits, or hunting all kinds of wild boars and pheasants in the big forest, and the taro that can be seen everywhere is also digging non-stop, and the size of the taro is incomparably large, twenty of them are enough for a strong man to eat for a day.
For people like Gao Huaiyu, who have dug gold mines, where will he let go of a glimmer of hope, leading people to sweep the islands everywhere every day, and also running to the other seven islands to hang around.
Heiwa was secretly amused, he could tell from the way these natives dressed that this place was not made in this place.
On the beach of the southernmost island, there was a layer of emerald green sand, and occasionally he could see crystalline crystals the size of a fingernail, and he picked up some of them.
Rare is expensive, anyway, as long as Daxia doesn't have it, it will definitely be worth it to bring it back and make it into jewelry.
So, in the study of the space, Cuihua received dozens of emeralds, this color is really intoxicating, much better than transparent diamonds.
Cuihua's love is beyond words, and she replied to Heiwa, asking him to pick up more, pick it up for nothing, don't do it in vain!
When Heiwa saw his daughter-in-law's reply, he couldn't help laughing, and he dared to say that if they asked for these emeralds, the natives would definitely help collect them.
There is no merit, and seeing that the natives are really friendly enough to them, Heiwa feels that she should do something for this group of fools. Looking at their herringbone thatched huts, I had an idea.
Dig mud, build kilns, burn bricks and tiles, build houses! Don't be afraid of old moves, as long as it works!
A slippery brick house, a small room, the roof is erected with wood, and then covered with long tiles, which can be carried by a typhoon. Instead of wooden beds, a brick-made chase bunk can accommodate ten people in a single hut.
Heiwa repaired ten model rooms and a row of latrines, and he really couldn't accept this kind of environment of flying everywhere in the wilderness.
The chiefs and priests were invited to see the new house, and they looked and looked, and kept knocking on the walls to feel the solidity of the bricks. The role of the thatched house also puzzled them, why do they have to run into the house to?
For the sake of the messengers of the gods, they don't have any doubts, but they really think that this sleeping room is good, and they want it.
"You've seen this greenstone, right?" Heiwa took the largest emerald and compared it to the chief.
The chief didn't understand, there are a lot of these things on their island, what does it have to do with the sleeping house?
"Exchange this stone for a house, just a hundred green stones, change a room, the size, but above the thumb." Heiwa pointed to the house as she spoke, and put a bunch of emeralds into a basin, gesturing, such a basin for a room.
"Stones? Changing rooms? The priest soon understood what the chief messenger of the gods meant, but he couldn't believe it, no matter how beautiful this stone was, it should not be eaten or drunk, and this thing was everywhere on the island, and they didn't bother to pick it up when they saw it.
"Greenstone, we like it, the bigger it is, the more houses you change!" Heiwa nodded again, declaring that they liked it, and let them just pick it up.
The chief and the priest were overjoyed, and the gods liked things so differently, and the two muttered for a long time in agreement. Then they rushed back to the tribe with their people, and they wanted to mobilize all the people of the tribe, young and old, to pick up stones.
When the bricks were burned to repair the house, Heiwa didn't say what they were going to do with it, and everyone thought it was to upgrade their camp environment, but they didn't expect that Zhongqinbo actually planned to send the house to the natives to live in.
Huang Shangshu didn't understand and asked, very modest: "Uncle, what can you do with these green stones when you bring them back?" ”
"Lord Shangshu, there are no gems of this color among the female dependents, we have traveled so far to the place, we have to bring some special products back, right? You don't have a girl or granddaughter or anything? ”
"Ahem, who said no, but this."
"You always have to believe in my vision, rest assured, these will definitely be sold at a good price when they are brought back to the capital!"
Gao Huaiyu heard that Heiwa was coming, and asked mysteriously: "Uncle, this green stone is a baby?" ”
Heiwa rolled her eyes: "Scarcity is expensive, as long as we don't have it in Daxia, it's understandable to say it's a baby!" ”
Gao Huaiyu thought thoughtfully, and then, with a wave of his hand, the people under his hands all dug out the sand, and the chief soldier can say, whoever is looking for it is who's, this thing is worth it when you bring it back!
These latecomers, in any case, are not as knowledgeable as the natives about the local terrain, they eat meat, and they drink soup.
Not only did the navy take action, but Yuan Wenjie and Lu Shaoting, Han Kuangyuan, Miao Shujian, and Pei Jiesun were not far behind, and Master Yan was ready to move.
"My father said, there are many colors of gemstones, this green is emerald, it must be the bigger and greener, the more valuable, such a white pick-up, a few of our brothers, the more the merrier!" Yuan Wenwu translated the news he inquired from Heiwa to his master and classmates.
Lu Shaoting patted Yuan Wenwu's arm: "Righteous enough, my brothers remember your love, and when you go back to the capital and sell the silver, your brothers invite you to eat hot pot!" ”
Qin Ke rolled his eyes: "Let's go to Shu Zhixia to eat hot pot for free, okay?" Brothers, you have to invite us to eat roasted whole sheep! ”
"Please, please, please! Let's pick up the gems! ”
A few days later, Heiwa almost drooled when she saw dozens of emeralds the size of a baby's fist sent by the natives, which was too big and too beautiful!
Swap for change! A big emerald, just change a brick house! The black-hearted profiteer is talking about loyalty and diligence.
As soon as the natives heard this, they could build them a house that day, and they were so happy that they almost threw the black baby into the sky, they felt like the envoys of the gods, not very smart, this group of fools, this is the most stupid!
The merchants came when they smelled the fishy smell, they didn't know how to repair the house, but the silk and tea they brought soaked in water were also good things, since the general soldiers and uncles were rare stones, could they still let go?!
Let Heiwa help to tie up the line with the chief, and only a few days later, Heiwa and they saw the indigenous leaders of the island, wrapping the silk around the lower half of their bodies. This thin fabric is cool and light, and the natives are so rare that they can't do it, so that the black babies look at them with spicy eyes.
Soon, the emerald in exchange was filled with five large boxes, the largest of which was like an adult's fist, and the smallest was larger than a fingernail, all of which made Huang Shangshu register and hand it in when he returned to Daxia.
Of course, Heiwa also has a lot of secrets in private, and they all put space for his daughter-in-law.
Even if these two people ran a lot of places in their previous lives, Cuihua was not very interested in jewelry and luxury goods, otherwise, Heiwa would have changed her mind a long time ago, calling these emeralds peridots, and people are really a kind of gemstones.
Although Cuihua doesn't know the goods, as far as the original appearance of peridot is concerned, Cuihua swallows her saliva when she sees it.
This refreshing green, from yellow-green, olive green to green and even green-black, green pure, green transparent, pigeon eggs are nothing, she has goose egg green!
With the gift of local products, Cuihua couldn't help but be happy while worrying about the safety of men.
Today, she is in the "Summary of Maternal Diet after Childbirth", which belongs to the theoretical class of confinement meals.
"Students, from the time the mother gives birth to the baby, the confinement meal should be divided into the following stages.
The first stage is within seven days after giving birth, and it is about a "row" word!
Dietary principles: mainly to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, promote lochia discharge, restore qi and blood, and restore wounds.
In short, it's a platoon.
The recipes at this time are: millet brown sugar porridge, glutinous rice porridge, vegetable porridge, jujube water, scrambled eggs with loofah, egg drop soup with walnut mash, vegetarian stir-fried mushrooms, home-cooked tofu, pork ribs and green vegetable noodle soup, mushroom gnocchi soup, and vegetarian fried lotus root slices.
The girls who were selected from Shantang to be students were quite embarrassed to listen to this class at first, after all, they were all Yunying's unmarried little girls.
But what the mountain chief said is also very reasonable, he knows a lot, and he will be more competitive when he goes out to work.
Those little girls sent from Xungui's house to learn don't have this taboo, they can go back to serve the housewife after learning, but they defeated how many girls in the house came.
Although the basic skills of cutting vegetables have to be learned every day, no one is impatient, it is not so simple for the chef of the stove to accept apprentices, and the masters of the culinary academy are all chefs!
"Second sister-in-law, how are classes going these days? Are you busy? ”
"Thank you, sister, the students are obedient, I think it's very satisfying to be a master of so many people, I think it's great to be able to help so many people!"
"Hahaha, this is a sense of professional fulfillment!"
It's not just Fan Jingjing who thinks like this, Mi Fuzi feels like living in a dream every day.
Her daughter also followed her into the academy, and she could also follow along, her son was sent to the academy in Dongcheng by her, and she was stained with the light of the mountain chief, and she is not a merchant now, and her son is also qualified for the imperial examination
