When Mrs. You saw that she had returned from talking about the deal, she raised her eyebrows with a resentful look on her face.

Asked with concern:

"Shouldn't Suleiman beg and hold you? Why are you still angry with the good-tempered third brother like this? ”

You Saburo puffed up his anger and told them about their experience during the banquet.

After the complaint, his eyes were red, and his voice was still a little choked:

"Sister, the wild elephant with its nose cut off is dead! Not only were the noses made into vegetables, but the teeth, skin, and flesh were removed and sold."

"Sister, Suleiman apologized to me and my third brother. He didn't know that we, the New South Vietnamese country, regarded elephants as our friends of mankind.

He also said that he had dealt with the local Yue people before.

These Yue people, those who fly in the sky, those who walk on the ground, those who swim in the water, all those who have their backs to the sky, there is nothing they dare not eat. ”

Yujiro said that although he could not blame Suleiman's behavior, he had to take into account his brother's emotions.

Brothers, we must advance and retreat together.

As for the watch business, they are a seller's market, and they have the final say.

Mrs. You softly calmed You Saburo's emotions for a while.

gave Tie Hanhan a smooth hair.

After the lord of You and more than a dozen clan elders came out to find out, he and everyone talked about the past and present lives of the Baiyue people in the Tang Dynasty:

"The mountains of Lingnan are called the 100,000 mountains.

The reason why the 100,000 mountains are called 100,000 mountains is not that there are really 100,000 mountains, but because the mountains are continuous, the peaks overlap, the points are unclear, and the numbers are endless.

It is because of the numerous mountains, rugged roads, dense tropical rainforests, and the epidemic of plague and malaria, it is also called a wild land by the Han people in the Central Plains.

In the past, only officials of the imperial court who made serious mistakes would be exiled here.

Many people died halfway through before they even reached Lingnan.

Due to the special soil quality, the lack of water storage, and the poor soil of the mountainous range have relatively low yields of rice and corn.

The original inhabitants of Lingnan, who relied on agriculture for their livelihood, did not have a good life.

Rice, that's impossible to eat.

If you want to survive, you can only rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and drink water near the mountains.

There are all kinds of young leaves in the mountain forest, and wild vegetable rhizomes and berries can be feathered.

It doesn't matter if the taste is bitter or not.

As long as there is no poison, or the poison is relatively light, and the poison does not kill people, they must eat it.

Just think about it, hundreds of thousands of people are begging for a living in the mountains.

In order to survive, is it enough to hunt one elephant and eat a few meals of meat?

They don't just eat large animals.

Many of them will hide when you see them, poisonous snakes, rats, toads, and the like, and dare to eat them.

In their hands, rat meat can be made into an elegant "rat breast".

Rats that have just been born and have not yet opened their eyes are also soaked in honey to make "honey chirp", or soaked in medicinal wine.

It's not a distinguished guest, and people are reluctant to take it out to entertain you.

Last year, not long after we came to Guangzhou, we ate a sauce made of ant eggs and boiled frogs in warm water.

I've also seen them eat fried cockroaches (cockroaches) and eat their eggs raw.

It is by virtue of this kind of all-encompassing vigor that the Yue tribe has survived in this land for thousands of years.

Our ancestor Zhao Tuo, as a Han Chinese.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he brought the culture of the Han people in the Central Plains, such as ploughing the fields with oxen and iron farming tools, to Lingnan.

And promoted among these Yue tribes.

He also advocated intermarriage between the Han people of the Central Plains and the Baiyue tribes in Lingnan, and took the lead in respecting their customs and habits.

At this point, the Han people in the Central Plains and the Baiyue tribes began the stage of ethnic integration.

With the change of dynasties, more than 600 years have passed in the blink of an eye.

There are not many tribes in Lingnan Province that still completely retain the customs of Baiyue.

The local Yue people are called by the Han people in Guangzhou Province: Xiyuan Man, Huangdong Man, Nong Dong Man, etc.

Last year, when we were looking for a cemetery for our ancestors, we dealt with the patriarchs of these major tribes.

The Yue people living in Guangzhou are basically no different from the local Han people.

Probably, the only thing that remains is some unique eating habits."

After listening to the eldest princess's explanation, everyone was silent.

The young people couldn't help but rejoice again.

If the ancestors hadn't left Lingnan and went to Kalimantan, they wouldn't have the good life they have today.

They don't want to live the days of eating cockroaches and poisonous insects!

Several clan elders were still discussing before, wanting to recognize a cousin with the local Yue people or something.

After doing it for a long time, my ancestor was still a Han Chinese.

No wonder, regarding the fact that they are about to move the graves of the ancestors of the New South Vietnamese Kingdom, no local Vietnamese people have taken the initiative to join in the fun.

What they don't know is.

The patriarchs of Xiyuan Man, Huangdong Man, and Nong Dongman are in chagrin at this time.

"When the eldest princess came to Guangzhou City last year, she not only gave us cloth, but also was polite to us old guys, why didn't you think of having a good relationship with people?"

"Don't blame you for being clumsy, don't we all look away! Their ships last year were not as good as some merchants' ships! ”

"I've seen it for myself at the WA Pier! Datang's ships are not as good as their treasure ships! ”

"Don't mention the ship, let's just say that none of the specialties that people sold in the polder market this morning are the goods that Datang has now."

"Our people said that those Han merchants and merchants have already gone up, and maybe the sale has been negotiated several times at this time."

“.”

The patriarchs were as anxious as a cat's paw, and they didn't know if they could get a mouthful of soup if they were late.

The current Yue tribe.

It is no longer the indigenous people who used to grow and hunt in the mountains and forests.

The maritime trade in Guangzhou Prefecture is booming, and they can naturally get a piece of the pie.

The tribes that did not have the strength to form merchant ships to go to sea tried their best to do business with the merchants of Guangzhou City.

Lingnan is not only lychee.

Lacquerware is a must!

The lacquerware industry of Nanyue once surpassed the pottery and smelting and casting industries of the same period in Lingnan.

Several of the existing tribes have mastered the art of depicting and carving lacquerware.

Merchants were particularly fond of the gold-plated, beautifully crafted lacquerware.

However, it takes nearly ten processes to make a lacquerware.

After each process is completed, the product needs to be placed in a dry room and maintained at a certain humidity and temperature to ensure that the lacquerware is completely dry.

The entire process can take a long time, ranging from a few months to several years.

It is a handicraft that tests people's patience and carefulness.

Young people can learn this craft, one in a thousand.

The businessmen are not engaged in poverty alleviation.

The price given made them hungry and hungry.

The patriarchs are so eager to find new business opportunities for their clans. (End of chapter)
