When Chahu and his servants came over with several plates of cabbage on delicate trays, the hot pot was already on the table.
Polo Buhua and Princess Zhennan rarely see vegetables on weekdays, and when they saw cabbage, they didn't notice anything.
On the contrary, Miao Daheng was born in poverty. After seeing these cabbages, he nodded and said: "Sure enough, they are different from the vegetables in Dayuan!"
The cabbage had already been washed, and Zhang Yangquan demonstrated in person. He took a piece and rinsed it in a hot hot pot, then stuffed it into his mouth and said with a smile: "You can also give it a try!"
Several other people immediately cooked a piece of cabbage and ate it. Polo Buhua showed a smile on his chubby face and praised: "Well, not bad, such fresh vegetables are indeed rare!"
Kang Lian and Miao Daheng also praised it in unison.
Princess Zhennan was not very interested. She only took one bite before putting down her chopsticks and said with a smile: "Envoy, you just said that this cabbage is the king of vegetables in your country. Could it also have beauty benefits?"
"To be fair to the princess, when it comes to beauty, cabbage cannot compare to Yingtao radish, but there is a popular way of eating hot pot in my country, which is very popular among nobles, so the price is several times higher than ordinary vegetables!"
"That's it." Princess Zhennan nodded. After hearing that this vegetable was relatively precious, she finally picked up her chopsticks and ate a piece.
After three drinks, everyone had almost finished eating. They all put down their chopsticks and asked Zhang Yangquan about Australian customs and customs.
Zhang Yangquan talked from climate to humanities, from Australian people to Australian animals.
Everyone listened to his eloquent talk, and there was no flaw in his words. Even Miao Daheng released the last trace of doubt in his heart.
When Zhang Yangquan mentioned kangaroos, Princess Zhennan covered her mouth and said with a sweet smile: "I don't believe it. Are there really such big rats in the world?"
Zhang Yangquan laughed and said: "We Australians don't think of it as a mouse. This beast is quite hateful. Sometimes when you are fishing by the river, it will suddenly run up behind you, kick you into the water, and then run away quickly..."<
/p>
Princess Zhennan laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up straight. She lay on King Zhennan and panted for a long time before saying: "... Foreign envoy, your Australian things are so interesting. I must come to the palace more in the future to give you
Let me tell you more interesting things!"
Zhang Yangquan showed a hint of sadness and said: "Thank you for the invitation, Your Highness. It's just that I have been away from the country for too long, and I miss you so much. I have received gifts from Prince Domeng and the Princess, and I plan to buy a boat to go to sea and return to my hometown!"
When everyone heard that he was leaving, they had different expressions.
Both Princess Zhennan and Polo Buhua were reluctant to leave. Kang Lian squinted his eyes and said secretly: "This guy made the princess so happy with just a few words, so he should leave as soon as possible!"
What Miao Daheng thinks is that if this person is really an envoy of Australia, then doing business with the country will indeed be a good thing for the country and the people.
"Envoy, when you go back this time, will you come again?"
Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "I am very fascinated by your country's customs and customs. If I can return home smoothly, I will definitely bring a fleet, tributes and credentials to pay tribute to your emperor in the future!"
Princess Zhennan blurted out: "Then you must come to Jiangdu first, and then we will send you to Shangdu!"
Polo thought in vain: "When this envoy comes again, he will definitely bring tribute with him. If he is allowed to come to Jiangdu first, he will definitely give me part of the tribute!"
Then he said: "What the princess said is absolutely true. The king and the foreign envoy hit it off as soon as they met. Don't forget me when the time comes!"
Zhang Yangquan bowed to the two of them and said solemnly: "Without the grace of the prince, I will never be able to return to my hometown. When I come back in the future, I will first pay homage to the prince and give you a generous gift!"
Polo Buhua was overjoyed: "I have made a friend as a foreign envoy! Why don't the envoy stay in the palace for ten and a half days, and then I will see him off in person!"
Zhang Yangquan said: "Although I am anxious to return home, I still need to buy a boat, buy water and food, and then find your businessmen to learn about the sea route back home..."
Princess Zhennan said in surprise: "So, the envoy will stay in Jiangdu City for a while?"
"Exactly, I will stay for more than a month. During this period, I also want to buy a property and build a shop in your country. When I return in the future, I can start a business directly!"
Bo Luo Buhua hopes that he will buy property in Jiangdu. If so, is he still afraid that he will not come again?
"The best thing about this is that if you need my help in any way, the envoy can come to the palace at any time!"
Princess Zhennan shook his arm and said angrily: "Your Majesty, I want to buy a ship and property, so the money is not enough. Otherwise, how about some more gold and silver?"
Polo Buhua looked embarrassed.
Since the chaos of the Red Scarf Army, he has lost a lot of his income, has used money in more places, and the banknotes have plummeted. The losses have been huge, and he really doesn't want to reward him with any more money.
"Chahu, I remember that when the princess was born a while ago, Yuan Yuan gave me a garden to plant flowers in. Because the location was too remote, it was left vacant, right?"
"Back to your lord, that garden is called Oriole Garden, and it's near Bao'an Lake."
Bo Luo Buhua waved his hand and said: "It's troublesome for foreign envoys to buy their own property, so it's okay. I will directly reward you with the Oriole Garden!"
Zhang Yangquan bowed and said: "I will never forget the kindness of the prince and the princess!"
"Haha, you are so polite! I will entertain the envoys this afternoon and let you appreciate the style of our Dayuan culture!"
Polo didn't spend so much blood, so he would naturally get more rewards for his plan. He personally took Zhang Yangquan to watch a drama, tasted treasures, and admired the gardens, thus enhancing their personal relationship.
In the evening, there was another sumptuous dinner.
When Xu Shi won the card, Zhang Yangquan said goodbye and left. Polo Buhua ordered someone to give him the land deed of Oriole Garden and sent the palace guards to escort him to Oriole Garden.
When the bandits saw this harvest, they all laughed in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show any strange expressions on their faces.
Everyone walked along Baobao Lake to the gate of Oriole Garden. A deacon from the palace handed Zhang Yangquan the key to the garden and left with the guards.
Qin Lingsi endured it all the way, and finally couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Zhang Yangquan, you are a born thief. My sister and I combined can't compare to your skills!"
Zhang Yangquan laughed. He did not expect such a big harvest. It must be said that Princess Zhennan played a key role in it.
The monkey laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth: "I haven't eaten as much meat in the past year as I did today!"
They dined in a side courtyard, and Chahu received orders and entertained them with good wine and meat.
The wild boar reminded: "Check the garden first, and we'll talk about it later!"
"You're the only one who likes to spoil the fun!" Monkey curled his lips and said.
Zhang Yangquan said: "The wild boar is right to remind you, be careful and you won't make any big mistakes. Let's go to the garden first."
The Oriole Garden is not big, covering an area of less than four acres. The bandits carefully searched the structure of the third courtyard and found no one there. However, someone must have cleaned it recently, and it was very clean.
After a while, all the bandits gathered in the lobby, which was decorated with exquisite and elegant decorations.
Everyone was born as a refugee, and it was the first time for many of them to see such a beautiful house. They were just like people from the countryside coming to the city, wandering around the house.
Qin Lingsi put her hands behind her back, looked around the room, and said with a smile: "Zhang Yangquan, this will be our stronghold in Jiangdu City from now on, right?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Yangquan was quite tired after a day of acting, so he sat on a chair to rest.
Qin Lingsi walked up behind him, gently kneaded his shoulders with a pair of delicate hands, and said with a smile: "This time, our Master Zhang is really exhausted, let me give you a reward!"
The monkey said happily: "We have gained so much this time, and the leader of the village is so happy when he finds out!"
A bandit said: "Military advisor, can we buy some food supplies and go back to the village tomorrow? There is not much food in the warehouse!"
"Well, buy more grain, some chickens, piglets, cows and horses!" Zhang Yangquan said with his eyes closed, enjoying Qin Lingsi's service comfortably.
Qin Lingsi's eyebrows were filled with joy: "Do you really want to buy a horse?"
Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "I promised you, how can I not count it?"
Qin Lingsi smiled happily and her hand movements became more gentle.
Zhang Yangquan suddenly noticed Shanzhu standing silently outside the door. Ever since everyone started chatting, he had been guarding the door, obviously fearing that someone would eavesdrop.
"Second Village Master, was Shanzhu a refugee before?" he asked curiously.
Qin Lingsi glanced at the door and said with a smile: "He heard about Sister A's name and joined the gang on his own!"
Zhang Yangquan wondered: "Is the leader of Dazhai famous?"
"Of course! My sister is very skilled in martial arts, and she is honest and honorable. She is very famous among the green forest people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces!"
Zhang Yangquan nodded secretly, fame is an invisible and intangible force.
Just like Sesame Li, Zhang Shicheng and others, there were only a dozen people during the uprising. As long as they choose the right time and shout from a high place, they can gather thousands of people!
Qin Lingsi continued: "The mountain pig is indeed different from other brothers. He has a calm temperament and is quite knowledgeable. My sister also attaches great importance to his opinions. I heard that I was a pirate at sea before!"
Zhang Yangquan looked at the wild boar's back and nodded silently.
