Chapter 221 The Merchant of Venice Son 4
Liu Hiiragi is very happy, he can go to sea with Sherlock and go to the ancient country of the East.
Liu Hiiragi followed Sherlock and set sail again.
The ship started and took them towards the place they wanted.
There is no need to repeat what happened on board.
Liu Hiiragi's luck has always been very good, with him on the ship, the fleet did not encounter wind and rain along the way, and entered the sea area of Daming.
It is now 1456, and the ancient kingdom of the East at this time is the period of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor should be Zhu Qiyu, the emperor of Jingtai.
It's just that his death is not far away.
Liu Ji sighed twice, he didn't know if he would see Zhu Qiyu this time.
If he can see it, Liu Ji will give Zhu Qiyu a reminder and ask him to kill Zhu Qizhen directly.
This is not for Zhu Qiyu, but for Yu Qian, a loyal and capable minister.
"Don't be afraid of broken bones, you have to leave your innocence in the world."
Yu Qian's death is really embarrassing.
Zhu Qizhen, the "son of heaven", what qualifications does he have to kill Yu Qian?
The sea ship did not dock at the southern port, but directly docked at the port of Tianjin.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty already had Fanbang people to do business, so although the people in the port were surprised, they were not panicked.
Sherlock went down to the port, with a kind smile on his face, and said to the port garrison: "We have come to Daming with friendly intentions, and we want to meet your emperor. ”
On the ship, Sherlock and the rest of the mission followed Liu Hiiragi to learn Xia Mandarin.
Liu Hiiragi fooled them that they were the Xia dialect that they specially learned after watching "Marco Polo's Travels" before.
Sherlock and the others had no doubts.
Therefore, although Sherlock's voice had a thick accent, Ming Jun still understood it.
Local officials sent people to receive them and put them in one of the best inns in Tianjin.
At the same time, he sent someone to enter the palace immediately and reported the matter to Yu Ge Lao and His Majesty.
Zhu Qiyu was already unwell at this time, but he still managed to deal with state affairs.
Yu Qian said to Zhu Qiyu: "Your Majesty, since those foreigners can cross the ocean to our Ming Dynasty, it proves that their maritime culture is strong, and they may be stronger than our Ming Dynasty." We should be cautious and receive them well. ”
You must know that the navigation of the Ming Dynasty was very powerful, and Zheng He traveled to the west seven times, but he did not find the European continent, which can only prove that they came from more distant places. The technology in navigation is more advanced.
Zhu Qiyu nodded, made a holy decree, and sent people from Honglu Temple to Tianjin Port to pick up Sherlock and his party into Beijing.
Liu Ji walked on the streets of Tianjin, looking at the bustling crowd, happy in his heart, and didn't care that other people pointed at him after seeing his foreigner appearance.
It's been a long time since I've seen so many black-haired and black-eyed people, and when I heard the familiar Chinese language, Liu Hiiragi felt so kind.
He saw the small vendor selling steamed buns on the side of the road, touched his money bag, and silently lowered his hand.
He didn't have copper money to buy buns!
It's not a dog ignoring the buns, but it looks very delicious!
Tianjin used to be called Zhigu, and it was not until the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty that it was renamed Tianjin.
It is said that Ming Chengzu invaded Nanjing, the capital at that time, ascended the throne of the Son of Heaven, and praised the Sancha River estuary that he passed through when he fought for the world, and gave the name "Tianjin", which means "the place where the Son of Heaven crosses Tianjin".
This is a military location, and most of its residents are military households.
Therefore, there is no money bank here.
Liu Hiiragi could only find a shop with a relatively large shop and walked in.
It's an oil extraction shop.
The price of oil is expensive, and the shop is naturally richer than other shops
Liu Hiiragi took out a small piece of gold, bought a barrel of sesame oil, and exchanged the gold for silver and some copper coins.
The shopkeeper smiled and handed the sesame oil and the change he was looking for to Liu Hiiragi.
This one in front of me is a big customer!
Liu Hiiragi understood that the store must have cheated on his own money, but he couldn't help it.
The strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake.
To be able to open such a profitable oil shop, the owner's background is definitely not simple.
Liu Hiiragi, a newcomer, can only be slaughtered.
Fortunately, it was just a few points higher in oil prices and sold to him, but it was just a small trick of some profiteers, and Liu Hiiragi didn't care about it.
He carried the oil drum, came to the stall selling steamed buns, and said: "Boss, how about I exchange one or two sesame oil for your two steamed buns?" ”
The peddler selling steamed buns was surprised by Liu Hiiragi's appearance, thinking that he didn't understand the market, and said kindly: "Guest, don't be joking." Sesame oil is very expensive, and you will suffer a loss if you change two buns. ”
Liu Hiiragi: "I'm not kidding. You are kind, I am willing to exchange one or two sesame oil for your buns. You just have to say whether to change it or not, right? ”
Hawker: "Change! ”
Fools don't change.
The vendor took out a bowl he had brought, and Liu Hiiragi opened the lid of the bucket and poured a third of the sesame oil into the bowl.
The bowl was not small, one-third of the volume of sesame oil was not only one or two, but at least one or two halves.
The vendor smiled happily and wrapped three meat buns in oiled paper for Liu Hiiragi.
Liu Hiiragi took it with a smile and walked to the next food stall.
It's a stall that sells churros.
Freshly fried fritters, there is an oil pan in front of the vendor, and the oil in it is bubbling.
The owner of the fritter stall saw Liu Hiiragi stop in front of his stall and immediately entertained Liu Hiiragi very warmly.
Liu Hiiragi's generous handwriting just now made the boss feel excited.
Liu Hiiragi handed the wooden bucket directly to the boss and asked, "This barrel of oil, can you buy all the fritters on your stall?" ”
"Yes, yes." The boss was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "I'll wrap all the fritters for you immediately." ”
He quickly wrapped all the fritters in oiled paper, bundled them into a large bag, and handed them to Liu Hiiragi.
Liu Hiiragi took the fritters and returned to the inn.
At this point, Sherlock and the others had just gotten out of bed.
Liu Hiiragi put the fritters on the table and let everyone eat them at will.
Everyone was curious about this food they had never seen before, so they each picked up a fritter and ate it.
"Yes, it's delicious." The crowd praised.
At this time, they just think that the taste of the fritters is not enough, and the flavor of the french fries bread is different.
Now they have not eaten more Chinese food, and they have not been conquered by Chinese food.
But soon, they will fall under the Chinese cuisine.
Liu Hiiragi ate a fritter and another meat bun, and the remaining two meat buns were divided among Sherlock.
The meat buns are not as delicious as the dog buns, but they are also good, and the skin is thin and the filling is delicious.
It's not just meat stuffing, and wild vegetables
As for what kind of wild vegetable it is, Liu Hiiragi can't eat it.
As he ate, he thought about what authentic Gobuli buns tasted like.
It's a pity that the authentic Goubuli bun will only appear during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty.
You say that there are also dogs in modern times who ignore buns?
Hehe.
Forget it.
The sign that the dog ignores is messed up by these buns.
After breakfast, the local government accompanied an official of Honglu Temple to the inn.
The officials of this Honglu Temple were quick to arrive in a day's time.
