In the small courtyard, my Lord and the shaman descended;
The great elder and Kukumo were both dressed as Ming people, and they also imitated the appearance of some foreign merchants in the big city, wearing turbans.
After all, the two of them look too special, so they can only dress up like this in order to keep a low profile.
As long as you don't have too much social contact with the outside world, you won't violate any religious taboos.
And the neighbors are not surprised by this.
It is not normal for two Hu merchants to appear in the alleys. The Ming Dynasty prohibited the sea, but some came to the capital by land.
I heard that there were more Hu merchants in Xi'an, and some of them even took Han names and took root in the Ming Dynasty.
Now that the capital is in Nanjing, the number of foreign merchants is naturally huge, not to mention the establishment of the "Siyi Pavilion". The number of envoys, servants and guards from various countries combined is also an astonishing number.
"Have there been any changes recently?" Snow Girl asked.
Because she is a mortal, she is not like our Lord True God who can penetrate all things in the world.
The actual process is to clean the mutton, marinate it with ginger, scallion and yellow wine to remove the smell, then tear open the package, boil water in a pot, cut the meat and eat.
"Escape. I heard that in the south of the great desert, the Mali Empire is strong and wealthy, and there are business opportunities there."
But this month, my master and the wizard left. They ate bland Ming Dynasty food, which was already tasteless.
“If you want to do it, do it big and do it well!”
Before I knew it, it was already night.
The great elder was not idle either and went to Yahang to look for Ya people to search for shops.
"Furthermore, Ruonan and Ruoyu have both eaten hot pot. If they visit because of its reputation, they will know that this restaurant is related to Balance!"
Xue Nu was shocked immediately, and even said without hesitation: "Praise for balance, Master... Is this braised beef noodles?"
He smiled faintly and waved his hand to bless the creation——
“And the mutton hot pot base?!”
We just have to wait until the war really begins to witness a piece of history.
"That's fine if you don't admit it or veto it."
Add eggs and vegetables and cook for two minutes.
"And I'm more curious about the Ming Dynasty's trading method."
For a month, he did not let go of his practice.
"Praise my Lord, praise the balance!"
It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
One old man and one young man look like foreigners, and their identities are too eye-catching;
If there are any nefarious persons, once investigated, the Seiyi Pavilion may be alerted;
When the Siyi Pavilion came to inquire again, they learned that their identities were unknown and they were afraid of being arrested and interrogated.
But those who can moisturize are only the upper-class nobles.
After hearing Wu De's explanation of our Lord's will, the two of them immediately responded: "Yes, Young Master."
Great Elder, Cook Mo was shocked after hearing this;
Is this prince of this kingdom going to die?
Zhou Li'an didn't know how to explain too much, so he looked at Cookmo interestingly: "Tell me about your idea of opening a teahouse."
Braised noodles are the basic meal;
And in the distance, the dark cloud shadow of the army's conquest is coming...
The Portuguese ships are ready to go, and they will combine 2,000 people on the waterway, more than 100 ships, and nearly 20,000 people on land to launch a general attack.
The great elder said: "If it is in winter, the extraordinary power of this god-given thing will be even more evident."
afternoon.
Otherwise, time would accelerate and there would still be no progress in the Ming Dynasty and Nanyang.
However, compared with the Portuguese expedition of 20,000 troops, Ceuta was weak, and the city was besieged for a month, and it was already exhausted physically and mentally.
It’s not that the Great Elder doesn’t support Kukmo’s proposal, it’s just for the sake of safety.
"If you buy it in the store, you have to surround it with a charcoal fire. Then you go to the market to customize it. The capacity of the pot must be designed well, otherwise it will be difficult to calculate the amount of base ingredients..."
[Eye of the Void] comes again.
The last four kilograms of mutton went into the stomach, which made me sweat profusely but also made me feel refreshed.
After hearing this, the two of them were a little excited;
Only Xue Nu pondered for a moment and then said: "Master, if you don't show the glory of balance, opening a restaurant would be too public. With only the Grand Elder and Cook Mo in charge, it's difficult to stabilize the situation."
It is impossible to enter the inner city, but the prosperity of the outer city is not weak at all. Just like the saying of besieging a city, those inside the city want to get out, and those outside the city want to get in.
Even if it is stolen, no one knows what plastic is.
"That happened hundreds of years ago, and I heard a piece of news a few months ago that a god came to the Mali Empire, and countless people witnessed it. It is definitely not a lie..."
But now, there is no prosperity in the city, and the city walls still have traces of fire damage and gunpowder explosions.
Of course, there are still plastic seasoning packets inside.
The great elder also said: "I'll leave messages to several dental shops and they will help find stores."
The Great Elder and Cook Mo were so impressed that they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
At the end of August, when lotus leaves are blooming, butchers in the market wrap meat in lotus leaves and deliver it to customers.
Then the main dish of hot pot was served.
When the two of them took the first bite, tears almost came out of their eyes, and they drank the last mouthful of instant noodle soup.
Kukumo immediately replied: "Bao banknotes can be bought and sold, but paper notes can only be bought...that is, exchanged."
Now that Kukmo's plan has been approved by our Lord, he is also quite pleased with the child's growth.
As early as last month, King Joao I of Portugal had attacked Ceuta, but was blocked by the Ceuta people.
"With these two products, we can become famous in Beijing."
"This place is different from the valley. There is less bartering, and most of the value is measured in copper coins. This is similar to the feather coins in the valley... But the valley is easy to break, and copper coins are strong, so it is a good trading method."
Zhou Li'an pointed to the box and said, "Snow Girl, we are going to make mutton hot pot tonight. Then you can cook a bowl of braised noodles for each of them to taste."
The civilians in the city lit extra torches and candles to illuminate the night sky, using this as a ploy to deceive the Portuguese from attacking and give them a chance to breathe.
During the same period, Daming firearms should maintain their world-class status. Take the iron Hongwu cannon as an example, which weighed as much as 400 kilograms.
Distant sea.
But it doesn't matter, just burn it after use.
Cookmo went to buy mutton for tasting tonight.
Smart people have seen the signs of defeat, and merchants value profits, so they will never coexist with the people in the city.
The city of Ceuta is equally silent. Although there is no curfew, it is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. Everyone is only in danger.
The braised beef noodles and Little Sheep hotpot base are all ordered from China, and the packaging is deliberately banned.
Based on the inspection, we still had to wait until nightfall the next day for the Portuguese to take action. Zhou Li'an did not waste any money. He only used the [Eye of the Void] to record the scene in the city and the size of the army, then turned and left.
From now on to the Ming Dynasty, Song Feiyin of Sanfoqi Palembang sowed the seeds of balance first, and then Dong Chengfeng of Quanzhou acted as the intermediary.
Today's food is bland, and the spices are far less comprehensive than those of later generations, let alone the "technology and ruthless goods" of today's world.
Kukumo, the great elder returned, and both of them gained something.
A cardboard box with no printed text or pattern appeared out of thin air.
"Mali? I have heard about the legendary hero, Mansa Musa. He once worshiped the holy land of Mecca and squandered a lot of gold. His legends are still spread everywhere today."
I saw that he had a gluttonous expression on his face, and it turned out that food was the most important thing for the people;
Cookmo quickly stood up straight and began to report in Chinese.
"It's like that precious currency. You can buy everything you want with just a piece of paper."
Only the Qinhuai River, with its dim lights of boats, was the only noisy place in the night.
Zhou Li'an said: "Zhu Di is still in Shuntian Prefecture. His northern expedition has been postponed, but he is also worried. He is also afraid that Oara will fake a surrender and counterattack, and he has negotiated various matters with various Oara tribes."
Zhou Li'an was very satisfied after hearing this. The saying that practice brings true knowledge is exactly what he said.
Since Cookmo is interested in business and is currently staying in the largest city in the world, he can definitely be cultivated.
Yuki-onna still stayed up late at night to read, using energy-saving lamps to study English. She never let go of this subject.
"The greater your reputation, the less likely others will dare to provoke you..."
It is still the night of the 23rd, and the big city is silent.
This was not the first time that Ceuta was in flames of war.
The commercial centers of the Berbers and Arabs also needed military protection because they were profitable.
Along the way from the Kingdom of God to the Ming Dynasty, they were fortunate enough to taste a lot of delicacies given by the gods;
Since Cooke has the corresponding talent, he can naturally make some early arrangements, and the next three people can share their knowledge and skills, laying the foundation for a balanced development in the East.
After these Ming people tasted it, they would definitely bite off their tongues.
"Ah, sir, I understand!"
Jie Sheep is the mutton grown after castration, and the mutton smell has been weakened. As long as it is properly processed, the taste is not much different from that of later generations, but more like sheep.
Cook Mo said: "The butcher shop clerk said that this is a castrated Jie sheep, which tastes the most tender and sweet."
The old land is filled with sin, and mortals are lost in lust, losing balance in the blink of an eye.
"Well, then are we going to let the infidels capture Ceuta? How can they easily spare us?"
However, since Zhou Li'an raised this matter, how could he not consider it accordingly?
"I don't know more about it. Kukmo originally proposed that he would use the treasure given by the young master to rent a teahouse and do business, so that he could get information from all parties, but I am afraid of making it too public."
Although there is no label on the box, Yuki-onna has cooked it many times and is amazed by the taste... Oh, no, this is the creation of our Lord True God.
And you should know that today there is no preservation and parasite-imitation technology. The meat in Yingtianfu is slaughtered and sold on the same day, without the freezing process that often takes several months, so the taste will not be any worse.
"Secondly, it is to earn money, but this mundane thing is useless. I hope that you can gain true knowledge from the platform medium of commerce; at the same time, you can understand another higher-level law, the economic law."
The Little Sheep Hot Pot is a top-notch set meal. Freshly cut lamb is simmered in a hot pot with sesame sauce. It’s called a top dish.
"Whether you have gained something or not, you should write it down in notes. When you return to the Kingdom of God, you can also go to the Temple Mount to communicate."
Life in this world is not just about the desires of the mouth and the stomach.
There are not only the secret codes of laws given by my Lord and the witch, which can systematically improve the realm of laws, but also a suitable language environment for practice.
In the city.
Not to mention the authentic mutton-shabu hotpot in the world, one of its main selling points now is "technology and ruthless work".
A super city with a population of one million seems to have pressed the mute button, and the excitement and noise are no longer there.
It doesn't mean that it tastes bad.
Seeing this makes Zhou Li'an sigh...
Swish swish swish.
The snow girl nodded and looked at my lord as if asking for advice.
As the snow girl spoke, Kukmo wrote down the words using a combination of words and pinyin.
When it comes to restaurant business, there are not many restrictions.
"Just follow Kumo's wishes and run a... restaurant!"
The snow girl made a pot of tea and then massaged my master.
Then the best way is to surrender.
Zhou Li'an closed his eyes.
But in the silence, there is an undercurrent.
And the snow girl murmured for a while: "Famous in the capital, famous in the capital..."
"Just like in the valley, the merchants of each city-state are mostly spies, allowing information to be passed and exchanged, and they will know both business and war."
The decline of a powerful dynasty in the Ming Dynasty was ruthlessly abandoned by the times.
"And the god also sent down words of disaster, and evil spirits from afar would drive ships ashore. Only by uniting together can the people of Mali resist the invasion of evil spirits."
Now he can speak with a strange accent, stumbling and saying: "As Mr. Mo said, the teahouse can collect intelligence, so that we will not be left in the dark..."
For example, in the Kingdom of God, there is now a complete development direction. Zhou Li'an can travel around the countries in the old land at any time without having to guide the direction.
Zhou Li'an nodded: "Ku Mo is in front of the stage, and the elder is hiding behind the scenes. If the two younger ones really come, the elder will not show up unless it is absolutely necessary, and it will be up to Ku Mo to deal with it."
Zhou Li'an asked again: "What's the difference between treasure banknotes and paper bills?"
"Ceuta's defeat has become apparent. This big city only relies on our support. The army and the people are not willing to resist, so it is difficult for them to resist."
Until midnight.
Zhou Li'an saw that such big things were placed on several main ships of Zheng He's treasure ships to intimidate overseas.
Zhou Li'an felt that the time was almost up.
Zhou Lian moved his chopsticks, and the three of them dared to taste it carefully.
"The Siyi Pavilion has recently begun a large-scale purchase to facilitate the reception of envoys from various countries..."
Having seen the size and power of the Ming Dynasty fleet, the first army that was the budding colony now looked more like a group of fishing boats gathering together for battle.
Instant noodles are the simplest.
Not rushing to conquer the Ming Dynasty does not mean that you do not make advance preparations;
"There's nothing you need to pay attention to in Yingtian Mansion. Prince Zhu Gaochi's destiny is thinner than paper."
[Eye of the Void] is opened, and the consciousness of the gods has descended into the distance;
North Africa, Ceuta.
After all, this is someone else’s land;
The farce at the Wanghai Pavilion in Srivijaya Palembang left a deep impression on Snow Girl.
"Try to collect intelligence, but don't do it too hastily. Safety is the first criterion in everything;"
The Great Elder took a careful look at Zhou Li'an, and saw that my master looked very familiar with it, and then said to Snow Girl: "The Ming fleet should not have returned yet, but there is a letter from the fast horse, and it will arrive in the next few days."
After everything was done, Xue Nu guided the two of them to start the stove and learn how to make the restaurant's main product.
In old Europe, the development of firearms was also progressing steadily, and there was even a tendency to gradually catch up.
"I have seen the operation of the 'Balanced Supply and Marketing Cooperative' in the 12th city of the Kingdom of God. People only need to use the paper tickets of 'contribution points' to redeem items. It is also very convenient..."
"In addition to meat, you can also add various vegetarian dishes. You should have experienced it after living in Yingtian Mansion for more than a month, and you can try many things in the future."
The two of them couldn't help but sigh, and Zhou Li'an did not blame them for their gaffe.
Before I even opened the leaf bag, there was a pungent smell that hit my nostrils, which was far less bland than later generations.
In a pavilion hall, everyone gathered, all dressed as wealthy businessmen.
"In addition, I also heard that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not in Yingtian Mansion, and that the Ming Dynasty oversees the country for the prince."
"That's enough, how can you trust the mythical legends! Let's vote, fight, surrender, or escape from a foreign country!"
The main fighting faction stood up and glanced at everyone, as if they were threatening.
But just at this moment.
A person broke into the hall, stumbled and fell to the ground: "The city gate has been opened! There are betrayers, there are betrayers among us..."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Guns and cannons roared continuously!!
The northern port of Palembang, which held on for more than a month, was finally brutally torn apart and fell into defeat.
