Chapter 222: Cape of Good Hope

The shippers have finally found the right way to open the sea trade, and this is really a paradise for traders.

Jewelry includes: all kinds of gemstones, pearls, coral trees, yellow wax stones, agate, car carp, etc.;

Spices include: frankincense, ambergris, wood, cloves, rose water, nutmeg, benzoin, etc.;

Rare medicinal materials: aferul, carcous, gallicus, blood skull, etc.;

There are: ivory, rhinoceros horn, glass products that are several times more transparent than Daxia glass.

The products produced in Daxia must be high-quality, just talking about the silk brought by the shippers (here refers to the collective name of all silk fabrics).

The pattern is dominated by natural and vivid folded branch flowers and a large number of flowers and birds.

The color is based on brown, brown, brown, lotus and other intercolored or compound colors, with white, which is extremely elegant.

The silk of the Great Xia Dynasty also has one of the best qualities: it is light and breathable.

The geographical location of the Great Food Empire is destined to be a hot and arid country, and the light and breathable silk fabrics are tantamount to a heat-reducing artifact.

The goods that the imperial court wanted to sell were directly covered by the royal family of the Great Food Empire, and none of them went to the people.

The shippers also ate the fatty meat, and unlike the official trade methods of the Inca Empire, they were able to negotiate directly with the merchants of the Great Food Empire.

Where can Putuo be busy?

Yuan Wenjie and a few others, who have learned the big food language for less than a month, are still a little short of in-depth business negotiations in addition to simple daily conversations.

With such a level of translation, it was also coaxed and rushed by the shippers.

Practice brings true knowledge, learn and use at the same time!

Huang Shangshu saw all this in his eyes, and said to Heiwa with a smile: "Uncle, your two little sons, after the imperial examination, you can come to our Imperial Academy." Not only is learning a new language fast, but your brain is also spinning fast. ”

"My lord, you are exalting them too much, and now they are not even children, and when the Jinshi in the examination comes to your academy, I don't know how many years it will take!"

"Hey, uncle, don't be presumptuous! I think the sons are not weak in civil and military affairs, and the most powerful Confucians in the country have taught them, just a jinshi, no problem! ”

"By your good words, if they have the ability and will, I will not stop them."

With plenty of time and flexible trade methods, the shipwrecks were shaking up as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Zhao Leiting saw that others were busy, and he was also anxious.

As the chief steward of the Zhongqin Mansion, except for more than a dozen cooks in their mansion, they did not carry any goods.

"Uncle, is our business going to be opened up?" Open early and make money early, what are you waiting for?

Heiwa almost forgot about this stubble, so quickly asked Zhao Leiting and them to walk around first, see what eating habits and taboos the people here have, and then make arrangements.

Remembering some legends about the Great Cannibal, Heiwa said to several teenagers:

"I've heard before that businessmen in the big food country like to be friends with strangers first, and then talk about business after they have a friendship. Moreover, they like to bargain with people, and if you change things too easily, maybe they think that you will not do business, and they will look down on you in their hearts. ”

"Dad, they're not natives, how can we not bargain? You're underestimating us! Yuan Wenwu said that he was very good at trading, and haggling in half was his grandmother's usual trick, which he could learn from.

"Hehe, what Uncle means is, let us ask for a price, I'm afraid we won't be bold enough!"

Not to mention, the illustrated comic books and puzzle toys brought by Yuan Wenjie and them are still very marketable in the Big Food Empire, and they were sold out in less than half a day.

The four books and five classics handwritten by the great Confucians sold at a rapid rate, and they continued to take them away if they couldn't sell them.

After the three of them discussed, they planned to exchange the gold and silver they had sold for the finest opal, and the logic was all, precious and easy to carry.

Zhao Leiting took a few cooks to inspect for a few days and came to report to Heiwa:

"Uncle, the big cannibals don't eat pork, they like to eat fresh beef, sheep and camel meat, and they like chicken among poultry. They don't eat seafood in the shell, they like to eat sweet, and if they are staple foods, they like pilaf and pastry. ”

"What do you guys think?"

"Hehe, uncle, the people here haven't seen corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes yet, we can cook too much food!"

Heiwa was proud: he arrived in South America hundreds of years earlier than the Europeans, and these staple foods would be spread around the world by the Bactria dynasty.

The cooks were busy, all kinds of purchases, cattle and sheep were bought alive, and they were slaughtered on the day of the feast.

When he was ready, he sent an invitation to Faisal in his personal name.

He also asked him to bring other merchants who traded with the Great Xia Dynasty to the inn where they stayed, and they wanted to make Great Xia food to entertain their friends.

It's the summer boom these days, and the upper-class people are about to go crazy.

No one has a way to buy Daxia silk, and the ladies dare not go to the party held by relatives and friends.

Moreover, at the gathering of the ladies and dependents, the porcelain and tea of Daxia also became the focus of discussion among the nobles.

Authentic oriental cuisine, which makes the big cannibals, who have always eaten roughly, interested.

Zhongqinbo gave Faisal a list of fifty people, but on the first day of the banquet, Faisal was embarrassed to find him.

He said that the number of people who wanted to come to see the food of Daxia had skyrocketed to more than 100, and he really couldn't shirk it, so he could only come to explain the situation. I implore the generous loyal and diligent uncle to let more nobles of the Great Food Empire have a long insight.

"Hahaha, welcome, welcome, we're all friends!"

Sharpen your knives and friends. Zhong Qinbo: The more people who come, the better, the food for 50 people can be cooked for more than 100 people!

On the day of the banquet, Zhao Leiting and they didn't sleep all night, killing sheep and cattle all night, and then decomposing, cutting, and pickling.

When Mrs. was in Nanzhou, she used the secret method of roast chicken with ten colored beads.

They were in the house, and after studying for half a year, they were about to vomit the chicken, and only then did they learn seventy percent of the master's skills.

I have to arrange it for the friends of the big food country, the Chinese medicine marinade package, they have all brought it all the way, and they finally saw the light of day.

Beef Stew with Potatoes: There are no fresh tomatoes, so they can only be replaced with tomato sauce made at their base camp.

Tomato sauce with a lot of honey tastes sweet, and this slightly sour and sweet tomato sauce is more suitable for the taste of sugar-heavy cannibals.

The beef is stewed until it is soft, fragrant and bright red, and the potato flour is glutinous and glutinous and full of gravy.

Sauce sheep scorpion: The lamb scorpion is selected as the raw material about half a year old, and it can only be cooked after soaking, picking, simmering, and simmering for an hour and a half.

At this time, the sheep scorpion, not fishy, full of sweet fragrance that only fresh mutton has, teeth touch mutton, just a sip can be removed, after eating the meat and then suck the mutton marrow, beautiful!

Braised beef, crispy duck, roast goose, stir-fried tender beef, tomato fish, salt-baked shrimp, vinegared shredded potatoes.

The staple foods are: sweet potato cakes, tortillas, roast lamb buns.

The drink is: milk tea, a combination of brick tea and milk, and a lot of honey.

When Faisal brought more than a hundred nobles and merchants with names and surnames in the Great Food Country, as soon as he walked into the door of this inn, he was craved by these rich fragrances.

The meat seemed to be still familiar to them, but there were all kinds of aromas that they had not experienced.

Everyone looked at each other: it's the right thing, it's the right place, it's worthy of being a big country in the East!

Heiwa, with eight teenagers, greeted these friends of the Great Food Empire at the door, and gave a speech before the meal:

"Welcome all friends to come, it is an honor to cook a meal for everyone, our special food of Daxia. I hope that all the friends who came here today will eat well and drink beautifully, I wish you all a happy meal, and I wish the friendship between Daxia and the Great Food Empire will last forever! ”

Everyone raised the milk tea cup in their hands, well, the familiar milk taste, the familiar tea fragrance, take a sip: wonderful!

The eight teenagers also sat scattered throughout the feast, and the big cannibals did not have a table, but they sat on the floor, placing food in the middle of the carpet, and grasping the food with their right hands.

Yuan Wenjie: In these crowds, they also have to help explain the names and characteristics of each dish.

In addition to the praise of the delicious dishes, the big cannibals soon discovered new root plants such as potatoes and corn.

Yuan Wenwu is trying to translate: "These are the foods we have exchanged for expensive goods from a far, far away country. Not only are they delicious, they can be used as a staple food or as a dish, and the key is that they are easy to grow and have a high yield, several times higher than rice and wheat. ”

As soon as this news came out, the big cannibals couldn't care about eating meat, and Faisal was entrusted with a heavy task, and hurriedly asked, "How easy is this to grow?" Have you planted it yet? ”

"Of course, we've been planting for two seasons, and we don't pick any places for these foods, we can grow them in the sand, and we've all learned our experience and made a planting atlas."

Faisal was so excited that he was almost about to talk about business with Yuan Wenwu during the meal.

However, thinking that he should not be in charge, he pressed his excitement and focused on tasting the delicious food in front of him.

This banquet made the big cannibals, who originally had a good diet of seven points, couldn't help but eat very full, and couldn't resist the temptation of Daxia food.

And after the meal, the housekeeper of Zhongqin Bofu actually told them that these dishes were the craftsmanship of the chefs of Zhongqin Bofu.

They are willing to sell these crafts, and if they want to learn, they can send their cooks to learn them.

Faisal took Zhongqinbo and talked about the deal of these staple foods.

The other nobles and merchants had to talk to the stewards of the loyal and diligent uncles, and the two princes of the house, but fortunately they could also speak some big food language.

"Your Excellency should know the importance of these staple foods, right?"

"Dear Loyal Brother, on behalf of our caliph, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you.

You not only brought us the civilization of the East, but also gave us a glimpse of these high-yield grains.

As long as your country is willing to leave us some grain seeds, no matter what kind of commodity you are interested in, please just mention it! ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the Great Food Empire also has a lot to learn from us."
