Chapter 303 [302] About to set sail(1/3)
It's early morning.
People gathered outside the hospital but have not yet dispersed.
Last night, the old king ordered people to send tents and set up camp here.
Just because everyone is eagerly looking forward to the result of the "disaster capture".
A waiter brought a hanging stove, lit firewood, and boiled water.
The Malindi people grind local beans into powder and brew them into a drink similar to soy milk.
But the taste is really not that good.
After Wang Jinghong saw it, he ordered his favorite tea set to be fetched, and a young eunuch ground the tea for him into powder, then poured a pot of boiling water into it.
Immediately, with just one look from him, the waiter beside him understood what he meant, and came with him to Tiaoyu and others with the tea set in hand——
"My dear envoy, please taste my 'Dragon and Phoenix Fragrant Tea', which I presented to Emperor Yongle for 'His Royal Highness Prince Ning'. I was rewarded by His Majesty and got a piece of cake."
"I've traveled a long way, even if Lord Zheng came to ask for it, I don't want to share it with him."
The tea soup is golden yellow, wonderfully light and elegant.
This is very different from the sencha made by Hun in the previous Song Dynasty.
Everyone smelled the fragrance of tea and felt relaxed and happy.
Tiaoyu took the cup and felt it was hot: "How can you drink it when it's so hot?"
Wang Jinghong also picked up a cup and started teaching: "Blow off the tea foam, the surface temperature will have cooled down, and then taste it briefly, mainly to make the taste of the tea soup fill your mouth, which will make people linger and shake their spirits."
Suck.
He took a sip and shook his head.
It was his fascinating performance that made Tiaoyu and others even more curious, and they all imitated him.
Some people find tea bitter, while others find it mellow.
Tea is the same as coffee. Drinking habits need to be cultivated before they can truly become popular in the world.
In other words.
If it is sencha made in the Tang and Song dynasties, it is a matter of two opinions whether the complex taste of the tea soup and the cumbersome sencha process can still be introduced into the West.
In the early Ming Dynasty, there was a transformation process from tea cakes to loose tea.
And as Wang Jinghong mentioned "His Royal Highness Prince Ning", it was him who took the lead and completed the transition from "ordering tea" to "making tea". After that, few people paid attention to the method of making tea.
Wang Jinghong’s current tea drinking habit is just following the trend.
But he was eloquent and introduced Chinese medicine to explain the efficacy of this tea.
Not long after, people from Malindi were attracted to come and listen to his preaching.
Regardless of whether he is a habitual drinker or not, just a few words of embellishment by him gave the tea added value——
Ning Wang's tea is worth thousands of gold.
The official exchange rate for one gold is 4 taels of silver; the price among the people is 6 taels.
A horse costs less than twenty taels, which means that a piece of tea can be exchanged for 300 good horses to form a cavalry.
For people like Tiaoyu, the business concept is not yet deep.
In the past, tribal trade was still based on barter.
When the kingdom of God is established, the people will have no worries about food and drink, and the "balanced contribution points" they earn every day will be enough to purchase all their daily necessities.
But in the eyes of Malindi people, the meaning of this tea is extraordinary.
A cake of tea for three hundred horses?
Good guy!
Is this something people can drink?
If you drink it in one gulp, wouldn't you drink half a horse?
The key question is...
At this moment, they can't understand the taste of tea. It's just bitter and sweet in the mouth, nothing special.
Just like the living African refugees who drank Lafite 1982 one day, not knowing the origin of its value, they were only shocked in their hearts——
What?
Is this shit worth a car?
So, when it comes to luxury...
Europeans today are nothing but barbarians.
The ancient Eastern countries are the ancestors of luxury goods.
At this time, the old monarch sighed sincerely——
"The Ming Dynasty is so powerful that it is invincible..."
When Gaza heard this, he quickly found a supplement and added it with a translation: "...Only under equilibrium!"
The people of Malindi are all immersed in fantasy; indeed, even Gaza is full of expectations for the next trip to the Ming Dynasty.
Zheng He and others did not come to join in the fun, but only talked about it on the sidelines: "Master Wang is the most sociable, and he often coaxes me to be happy in the palace."
"If Mr. Wang asks for the date of return, maybe it will come true..."
Someone also mentioned the return date.
Everyone's eyes unconsciously shifted to Tang Jing.
Tang Jing still had the same calm expression and said: "Since Tang has agreed to this matter, he will not go back on his word."
Drinking tea and chatting, time flies by.
to afternoon.
Just as a waiter was about to prepare rice outside the courtyard, someone shouted: "The courtyard door is open!"
Everyone looked up and saw the noble figure appearing.
For a moment, crowds of people knelt down and worshiped: "Praise my Lord, praise the balance..."
Behind Zhou Li'an is Snow Girl.
She raised her hand and ordered everyone to stand up.
After that, Zhou Wangshan, Lu Zhirang and others disappeared.
Everyone couldn't help but feel nervous. Could it be that the disaster had swallowed up those people?
However, when His voice fell, everyone felt at ease——
"I have given you a mysterious method that can stop the disaster of the dome!"
"Lu Zhirang and others are willing to test the law themselves. It will take more than ten days to understand the secret of the law..."
"You must obey my will and stay away from the courtyard to avoid being contaminated by the unknown!"
Jumping Fish begins: "My Lord is above, and I obey the holy name of Balance."
Zhou Li'an nodded: "I have created enough food for them; I will come here again tomorrow."
Isolation zone settings are necessary.
Otherwise, once it spreads, the whole city will be destroyed.
Zhou Li'an has a systematic "Population Smuggling" function that allows for "sterile time travel", but even so, he cannot exempt the entire city from the disease.
1 person costs 9,999 dollars, and 100 people equals 1 million dollars. Of course, there is no need to waste this kind of money.
He was about to leave.
But a low figure jumped out and said in a cute voice, "My Lord, Wu, I have been competing with Tang Jing, the commander of the Ming Dynasty, and now we are like brothers. He often misses his relatives in the Ming Dynasty, secretly
Wipe away tears..."
"My Lord, I would like to pray for your kind attention on this brother of mine and give him a time to return."
As soon as these words came out.
The people of the Ming Dynasty were stunned, and they all looked sideways at Tang Jing.
Tang Jing was also confused.
You and I are as close as brothers?
Why the hell am I still secretly wiping away tears?
What nonsense are you talking about!
Zhou Li'an couldn't help laughing when he saw his cuteness. But he also knew that all the Ming Dynasty people were already anxious.
but.
To be continued...
