Chapter 1049 Wang Xing is a good comrade

Hehehe... This young master was so happy that he was sweating coldly on his forehead. He thought that he was angry that he was not doing anything well, so he quickly made a complaint and said, "Sir, please be relieved. I bought these 100 gold coins in the recipe together. Otherwise, this bottle of sesame oil and perfume will only have more than ten gold coins. The young man also specially translated the recipe into our text. This is the original manuscript of the recipe. This is the translation..." Wang Jin smiled very treacherously, and he gurgled like a night owl.

"Okay, so good. With this thing, these hundred gold coins are worth the price." I was so happy that I took it and opened it in my hand. Well, the translation was very detailed, and the ingredients were written out, such as lavender, rosemary, pine, coriander, parsley, bergamot, bitter almonds, laurel, rose, mint and olive oil.

There are two ways to do them. One is to add the crushed spices to oil and water, then put the mixture into a long-necked bottle, and finally place the bottle on the ashes that have remained warm for a day, and then process them to make essential oils.

Another way is to apply grease on a smooth stone slab, then place it in an airtight pot, put a large number of picked petals inside, and take out the old petals before they wither and add new ones. Over time, the grease will absorb the fragrance from the flowers, and then mix the oil that has absorbed the fragrance with the strong liquor, so that the fragrance can be transferred to the strong oil, and a perfume can be made. After this grease is added to the soap leaf clover ashes, it can be made.

In addition, the formula also states that whale feces or musk must be added as a stabilizer to make the fragrance last for a long time, which made me curious: "Whale feces? What the hell is this? Can the Western Barbarians collect whale feces?" No, can Western Barbarians know how to raise whales these days?

Wang Jin smiled and said, "This is a mistake from Xiaguan. In fact, Xiaguan asked for some information. The whale dung they mentioned is the ambergris that our Tang Dynasty refers to. In their opinion, it is a huge fish feces in the sea that can swallow boats and islands."

Wang Jin also came to the seeds of these spices, mainly because this guy knew the mission I had given them, which was to find all species that I did not have in the Tang Dynasty, and to try every means to bring those things to the Tang Dynasty for cultivation at all costs, and he brought these spices seeds. Some were purchased from Persian and Dashi merchants, while others were obtained from the Byzantine merchants.

After Wang Jin put him in the door, he put it aside and opened it. He took out a small cloth bag. After the cloth bag was opened, there were many small bags inside. Each bag was marked with numbers on them, including seventeen or eighteen small bags. In these small bags, there were all kinds of plant seeds on the sides, and a booklet was placed next to them.

"Xiaguan doesn't know what our Tang Dynasty lacks. Therefore, when Xiaguan was traveling around Byzantine and Persian Voice over the years, he bought all the seeds of land plant. I don't know how many of them could be used together." Wang Jin smiled embarrassedly and explained. Then he picked up the booklet and handed it to me: "In addition, Xiaguan is afraid that it will take a long time to remember what he bought. So he first asked the other party about the use of these things and the cultivation method. What is the name of them, and they are all recorded here. Please take a look."

"Okay. Wang Jin, I really can't tell you that you are so careful. It's rare. Wang Xing is really a good comrade. He is really rare. He has this kind of heart to deal with work and is worthy of being the elite from our school." I patted his shoulder with relief, happy, talented, and more importantly, he is serious in his work and conscientious attitude.

I carefully opened the booklet and looked it out page by page. Among them, I learned several types of plants from his translation name and their use. Some of them have been collected in recent years, and some of them have not collected them. The roses, lavender, parsley, olives, pepper, etc. on it are the first time I saw them. Pepper, this thing is definitely valuable. I remember that I had to plant this thing in the south, but it doesn't matter. At that time, let my elder brother send a few farmers to Liukei on the island or in the Linyi Kingdom to try planting. There will definitely be a suitable environment for a place. I really didn't expect that this guy's achievements over the years have brought me so many surprises.

You should know that for those Western barbarians in Europe who only know how to throw large white meat into a pot and stew the soup and then chew on it, it is like the fire in their chests that ignite love, and even kill each other at will. What does this mean? It shows that although pepper is indeed a good spice, it also shows from another perspective that Western barbarians have a very lack of food preparation. I am afraid that there is no other way to eat it except boiled meat in white water or char siu pork.

"Pity! Those barbarians..." I squeezed a pepper with pity and put it on the tip of my nose, sniffed it, shook my head and sighed. Wang Jin next to me didn't understand it very much, but he didn't need to figure it out. Anyway, after he tasted the orthodox delicacy of the Tang Dynasty in this master, he would be able to understand what I am sighing now.

I sincerely thank the administrators of the Time Management Bureau. They gave me this precious opportunity to come to the Tang Dynasty, where food is diverse, food is endless, and wine is diverse, rather than the Western barbarian country that even wraps its barbarians with a piece of rag and wraps its bare butt.

Continue to look at the things on the book and the numbers on the bag to compare them. Carrots, spinach, kale, round kale? "What's this?" I subconsciously pulled Wang Jin and asked him to come over to understand the words on the booklet. "What is this round kale?" We know kale and love to eat it very much. The scenes of fried shrimps in later generations often appear in various cooking advertisements, but this is the first time we have heard of this round kale.

Wang Jin gestured for a long time before I understood it, and couldn't help but smile, "Isn't that just cabbage? Haha, the name of round cabbage really makes me feel embarrassed. Well, this cabbage is a good thing. If this thing is stored properly on our territory, it can be eaten for a winter. It's so great. It's rare that you have put your heart into it. Such seeds cost a lot, right? How about it, is the cost of the intelligence station tight in recent years?"

"You're not nervous. Don't forget our identities. We are all merchants. Besides, as long as we get the goods from the Tang Dynasty, as long as you are willing to take action, even the silk robes you are wearing, they are willing to pay a high price to let you take them off and then turn them into other clothes. In addition, you give us a lot of discounted goods every year. In other words, many brothers are still joking. If we retire in the future, we should just do this business. These are also a little easier."

"And as you told me, at present, just the market where the Persian Protectorate has just been built, our trade in the Jinzuoyuan accounts for more than 20%. This is not counting. The surrounding Central Asian countries have many industries belonging to our Tang Dynasty Jinzuoyuan, but only our people know it." Wang Jin expressed his merits to me with an excited look on his face. However, it was also true that in the early years, you, a foreigner, went around and did nothing. What identity can you use? Who would trust you? Borrowing the name of a merchant, this is the best. After all, our products are extremely popular in those places, which also makes them more protective of their identity and more convenient for their work.

"This is so good." I was so intimate. I wanted to kiss him as a gesture of gratitude. Seeing his vulgar old man's face, I thought about it carefully and let it go. However, we are not the kind of person who has no rewards.

I pulled him down and sat down: "For this matter, I will definitely show you and all my colleagues at the Western Regions Intelligence Station of the Tang Dynasty. I will strive to win you hard, hoping to award you a medal of second-class collective merit to reward you for your contribution to the Tang Empire. By the way, I have not used food since Chang'an. Fang Cheng told the kitchen to bring me all the time, and the bottle of old wine buried in the backyard. Take out a bottle of wine for me!"

Fang Cheng left, and my actions made Wang Jin look happy and moved. Anyone who made meritorious and received awards cannot receive meritorious medals, the head and adjutant of the governments in various places must personally award medals to their families. In addition, the significance of meritorious medals is more than that. Well, let alone other things, you must know that there are several intelligence stations in the Jinzhao Academy that can win the third-class collective merit, but the only ones in the Liaodong Intelligence Station back then. The people of the Tang Dynasty have always been honored more than life. Don’t underestimate a medal, it is something that you cannot always get if you take money.
