Chapter 166
When Lin Danhan saw Li Guodong, he sneered: "Li Laoer, we meet again! Although we are old friends, Ben Khan has received the Ming Dynasty's market reward and can get cheaper goods. And what good things did you bring to naturalize with the caravan? If your things cannot satisfy us, it will only make you a waste of time."
"Don't worry, my things will definitely satisfy Dahan! By the way, Dahan, I want to personally roast the lamb to demonstrate to you. What I brought this time is a good thing that can make the lamb ten times delicious! Also, I also brought a Yellow River carp, which can also show my cooking skills for Dahan." Li Guodong replied.
"Fish?" Lin Danhan shook his head, "What Benhan hates the most is the smell of fish. It's fishy and can't even put it in. There are so many thorns. What's the good thing about it? That is, you Han people like to eat fish."
"Then please try the roasted lamb and roasted rabbit with special seasonings."
"Okay! Ben Khan immediately asked someone to roast lamb and rabbits. If Ben Khan can satisfy Ben Khan, then buy the condiments you brought."
In the palace, burning charcoal fires were lit, and a lamb that had just been slaughtered was sent into the palace.
The roasted lamb was soaked in the soaking water made of spices and wine for a while, then took it out and penetrated the whole lamb with a wooden pole, and gently rotated it on the barbecue rack. The flames licked the sheep's skin and emitted an attractive fragrance. Then the roasted lamb's hand brushed the vegetable oil evenly on the whole lamb.
When the whole sheep was about to be cooked, Li Guodong asked the roaster to sprinkle a little chili powder on the sheep, then evenly sprinkle a layer of white sesame seeds, and finally sprinkle with chopped green onion and coriander, and roasted the whole sheep and it was done.
"This smell is so fragrant! It's even more fragrant than the roasted whole lamb in the past!" Lin Danhan's confidant favorite Tashhai swallowed a saliva.
After roasting the whole lamb, the roaster picked up the knife and cut a large piece of Li Guodong first.
Li Guodong knew that it was Lin Danhan who was worried about his spices and wanted to try it out first. So Li Guodong tore off a large piece of mutton, stuffed it into his mouth, and then picked up the wine bowl: "Come on, give me a bowl!" After that, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all. He said in his heart: Why should I poison Lin Danhan? For Lin Danhan to exchange for Lin Danhan, it would only harm the Ming Dynasty and make a bargain. I still have to survive and deal with Jiannu.
Seeing Li Guodong eating mutton, Tashhai couldn't wait to cut a large piece of mutton, tear it one, and put it in his mouth. He tasted it and praised it: "It's really much delicious! It's a bit spicy, and the taste tastes so exciting!"
Seeing this, the Mongolian soldiers under Tashhai also came up to cut the mutton and tasted it. A whole roasted the whole lamb. In just a short while, they were divided up. People who tasted the mutton praised it and said it was very delicious.
Next, Li Guodong personally cooked and showed off his skills in roasting rabbits. He asked someone to bring the barbecue grill brought by the caravan. Under the barbecue grill was an iron box, which was used to put charcoal and a barbecue net on it. The slaughtered hares first soaked in soaked water made of chili powder, salt, cumin powder, green onion and cinnamon powder and water. Soaked for about a quarter of an hour, then picked up and dried, then placed on the barbecue net, sprinkled with various spices when roasting.
When the rabbit meat is cooked, put it on a large iron plate, put it in the plate with water that has been debugged, sprinkled in dried chili, and put the charcoal that has been roasted by the hare under the iron plate. The charcoal burns, and the water in the iron plate on it boils and bubbles constantly, emitting an attractive fragrance.
Finally, sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions and coriander on top of the roasted rabbit.
"Okay, you can use your chopsticks!" Li Guodong greeted the Mongolian people around him.
After tasting the roasted rabbit, everyone applauded. Afterwards, Li Guodong roasted another Yellow River carp he brought. The Mongolians who didn't eat fish on weekdays tasted it and found it delicious, without any fishy smell. Instead, they felt the taste of mutton, but it was more tender than mutton. Even the Mongolians who didn't eat fish before had eaten it.
Back then, the Mongols did not believe in Lamaism on a large scale like the Qing Dynasty, and did not say that they would not eat anything in the water or things flying in the sky, so they still had no scruples about eating fish. They just thought that the fish meat was too fishy and did not like to eat it.
In addition to chili peppers, Li Guodong took out a sweater and a coal stove. These two items were very popular among the Mongolians, so the goods brought by the caravan were soon sold out in the naturalized city, and were exchanged for goods such as cattle, sheep, wool, and horses.
"Khan, the Kang Siding, who came to the Ming Dynasty to reward you, seems to be a member of the Shanxi merchant. Although the relationship between him and Fan Yongdou has not been found out yet, I am sure that he is the person who Fan Yongdou introduced to the front, while the real boss Fan Yongdou hid behind." Li Guodong expressed his suspicion to Lin Danhan.
"It's another profitable businessman who is connected with the Jurchen savages!" Lin Danhan suddenly slapped the table and stood up, "The Jurchen dog is my mortal enemy of Chahar! The profitable businessman makes money in business with the Jurchen dog, and wants to make money from Ben Khan on the other hand? But he has a good plan! Humph! Ben Khan must have lost all his money!"
To be honest, Li Guodong didn't know whether Kang Siding and Fan Yongdou had any relationship, but he believed that Fan Yongdou, who had suffered heavy losses in succession, would definitely not miss this opportunity and would find a partner to put it on the table to do business with the Mongolians. However, even if the Kang family really had nothing to do with the Fan family, Li Guodong would not have any psychological burden to destroy him.
When Lin Danhan heard that it was a Shanxi merchant, he was furious and vowed to make the Shanxi merchant lose all his money.
"How can the Khans make the Shanxi merchants lose all their money?"
"Hmph! Isn't this simple? When the Kang surname comes to naturalize, I Khan slashed him with one knife!" Lin Danhan snorted coldly.
"But you cut Kang Siding with one knife. If the news spreads, will the Ming Dynasty still open the market and reward you? I'm afraid no caravan dares to come and naturalize." Li Guodong reminded.
Lin Danhan thought about it again and said, "Or the news that Fan Yongdou was asked to come forward to do business with Ben Khan to Jurchen dogs. If we don't have to do anything, Huang Taiji will cut him with one knife."
Li Guodong sneered in his heart: Lin Danhan could only come up with some simple and crude methods. It was really much worse than Huang Taiji! Not to mention comparing with Yue To, even Dorgon could not compare! Thinking of this, Li Guodong offered his advice: "Have you ever thought about it? Jiannu's intelligence relies entirely on Shanxi merchants. Even if Huang Taiji knew that Fan Yongdou sent someone to do business with you, Huang Taiji would not be able to cut off his own arms! After all, Huang Taiji also knew that the Fan family had suffered heavy losses recently and had to recover their vitality. What's more, we have no evidence that the Kang surname was instructed by Fan Yongdou."
"Then, what good is there?"
