Seeing this, the old man's eyes lit up and he looked at Li Xuan expectantly, mumbling something and making gestures.
Li Xuan nodded lightly.
The old man was overjoyed and quickly took the bottle of salt with both hands.
Then, after carefully looking at it, he hid the small bottle of refined salt in his arms.
Immediately, he quickly ran to the hut on the side, took down the bunches of peppers, and handed them to Li Xuan respectfully.
Li Xuan smiled gently, took the chili pepper, and handed it to the bodyguard behind him.
At the same time, he slowly shook his head at the old man and pointed to the pepper strings on the surrounding houses again.
Seeing this, the old man was startled, and then he turned to the natives behind him and muttered something.
The natives were startled, and then hurriedly ran to their respective houses.
Then, he took off all the peppers and handed them to Li Xuan.
Seeing this, Li Xuancai nodded with satisfaction.
The old man was also slightly relaxed.
Later, after Li Xuan handed the peppers to several personal guards behind him, he looked around the small village again with curiosity on his face.
This time, these natives looked at Li Xuan expectantly, completely losing their previous fearful expressions.
After a while.
Li Xuan stopped at a round pile of firewood.
I took out one and looked at it carefully for a long time. The more I looked at it, the more I thought it was corn stalks.
So, he pointed to the corn leaves and gestured to the old man behind him.
Seeing this, the old man's eyes lit up and he quickly motioned to Li Xuan to follow him.
He took Li Xuan into a room and stopped in front of a large pottery jar.
Open the wooden lid on the pottery jar.
Inside, tiny yellow corn kernels were exposed.
"Master, is this corn?"
On the side, Li Chengqian and Cheng Chusi couldn't help but their eyes lit up and they asked expectantly.
"Exactly!"
Li Xuan was overjoyed: "I didn't expect that in this small village, two kinds of divine objects could be found in succession!"
"Come here, bring me a small bottle of refined salt!"
Li Xuan shouted towards the outside.
Soon, a guard took out a small bottle of refined salt again.
Seeing this, the old man suddenly became overjoyed.
Li Xuan pointed to the vat of corn and stretched out a finger.
Then, he pointed at the bottle of refined salt and stretched out five fingers!
Seeing this, the old man was startled, and then his face became anxious. He was talking and gesticulating randomly.
These corns are their food. If you take away five jars at once, they will be hungry in the future!
Li Xuan looked angry.
The old man suddenly panicked!
He quickly stretched out three fingers and knelt down quickly.
"Master, this old man is so disrespectful. How about I go to the town ahead to have a look?"
Behind him, Cheng Chusi looked angry.
"These corns are their rations. If we take them all away, they will definitely starve. Wait, I will look for them again. Since they have corns and peppers, they should also be growing other crops!"
Li Xuan shook his head slowly, without any anger.
Immediately, with a look of fear on the old man's face, he searched around the whole house.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Li Xuan's eyes lit up when he saw two piles of things still covered with dry mud in a corner.
He quickly bent down and picked it up to take a look.
Suddenly, his face was filled with joy.
"Master, are these sweet potatoes and potatoes?"
Behind them, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others stared at the two piles of things for a long time, and then they realized what they were doing, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
“It’s sweet potatoes and potatoes!”
Li Xuan nodded slowly and said again: "I didn't expect that in this small village, I could find them all at once!"
With that said, Li Xuan gestured to the old man again.
Three piles of sweet potatoes and potatoes, plus two jars of corn, in exchange for a bottle of refined salt.
To this, the old man nodded in agreement.
Just now when Cheng Chusi and others glared at him, the old man realized that these were soldiers covered in steel armor and holding long swords. They were already very lucky that they were willing to trade with them for that beautiful and delicious salt.
Already.
Li Xuan didn't expect that this old man was so knowledgeable.
So, he directly handed the refined salt in his hand to the old man.
The old man thanked him again and again.
Immediately, he hurriedly walked out and talked to the natives in the village.
Those people also hurried back to their respective homes and brought out their corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.
In the house, Li Xuan walked around and found nothing else that needed to be brought back to Datang, and then walked out.
Soon, two large vats of corn and three piles of sweet potatoes and potatoes were piled up in the courtyard.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with these items?"
Xue Rengui asked.
"Bring them all back to the ship!"
Li Xuan said.
"yes!"
Xue Rengui responded quickly, and soon a soldier took out a sack.
Carefully put the corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes into bags and return the same way.
"Master, now that we have found these, are we going back to Datang?"
On the way, Cheng Chusi asked again.
"go back?"
Li Xuan was startled, then shook his head repeatedly.
"It took a lot of effort to come here, how could you leave so easily!"
"Master, are we going to continue fishing for gold in the river?"
Cheng Chusi said with expectation.
"Do you think it's enough for me to find these things?"
Li Xuan asked.
"Master, each of these things we are looking for is enough to plant more than ten acres of land!" Cheng Chusi said with some confusion.
"Humph, it's only ten acres of land!"
Li Xuan sneered, "How can you guarantee that these things will be planted if they are buried in the soil?
Now that we have come here and there are so many of them, we should look for a few more. Even if they can be grown, we can also use them as food to eat on the road!"
"Eat on the road?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Chusi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at the sacks carried by the soldiers with longing on his face.
"Baoding, when you go back, put all these things into the box. They must not be wet or bumped."
Li Xuan ignored Cheng Chusi and spoke directly to Li Baoding standing aside.
"Yes, Master!"
Li Baoding responded quickly.
The whole night was still peaceful.
However, after learning that the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corns they came to search for this time had been found, all the soldiers and crew members breathed a sigh of relief.
Morning.
Li Xuan took several veterans on the ship and took out eight large boxes, each of which was filled with soil.
Then, plant the peppers, corns, potatoes, and sweet potatoes according to the method in memory.
However, sweet potato seems to require cultivating sweet potato seedlings first, and then planting those sweet potato seedlings into the soil.
After everything was arranged, a few people started to set off again.
With the experience of yesterday's exploration, Li Xuan walked on the road of discovery.
Therefore, it is not hidden again.
After walking for two days, I also met a few passers-by and a small village. But when they saw Li Xuan's army, the passers-by and the people in the village were all frightened, and they hid far away.
of.
In this regard, Li Xuan didn't bother to pay attention to the indigenous people.
"Master, we have been waiting for such a sophisticated army to appear here for two days. Since no local officers and soldiers have come to question us yet, the local officials are so lax!"
Cheng Chusi looked confused.
At the same time, Xue Rengui and other soldiers had already begun to be on guard.
And sent out five teams of scouts.
Unfortunately, it seems that no large army came to attack them.
