Chapter 22: Exotic goods due to sea passengers(1/3)

Although the three brothers persuaded him together, Qingyun still insisted on following them to the Seiyi Pavilion with a pair of red eyes.

Everyone couldn't resist, so they had to ask Liu Ying to help him go with him, leaving Yin Se alone to take care of Caiting.

Between Jikong Hall and Sei Hall, there is Fituo Hall.

Everyone really didn't want to be delayed by the nagging Brahmin master anymore, so when they passed by Fituo Hall, they all quickened their pace.

It was almost time for the sutra to begin, and many believers kept coming.

Shinizhi needed to protect his two sworn brothers who were supporting each other and were moving slowly behind him. He did not deliberately avoid it, so he bumped into a tall figure wrapped in a robe and walking quickly with his head lowered.

Xuanzhi only felt that the place where his elbow was was soft, which was very useful, but the other party let out a proud shout, and two cold lights stared directly at Xuanzhi's face.

Xunzhi hurriedly bowed his head to the ground and couldn't help but apologize.

The girl had a murderous look on her face, as if she was rolling up her sleeves and ready for a fight.

However, when encountering a scholar like Yun Zhi, it was hard to get angry. He could only snort from his nose and walk away with a red face.

Monk Yuanfa pushed Xunzhi with his shoulder and smiled evilly.

"Hey, that girl is quite handsome! She has a hot figure. What do you think? Does it feel good?"

He was so embarrassed that his cheeks turned purple.

Of course he doesn't have a coy temper, but his upbringing has been very strict since he was a child, and the etiquette of not being intimate between men and women has always been strictly observed. Where has anyone ever made such a joke?

It was also the first time for Qingyun to see Xunzhi looking like this, so he couldn't help jokingly saying,

"Hey, brother, you don't know something. My second brother, the fate of Princess Zhan is that all non-princesses will not be judged."

"Oh, this is not easy to handle.

Princesses of the Wei Kingdom are generally married to princes and princes when they are eleven or twelve years old.

It seems that the big issue of my second brother can only be solved by returning to the Southern Dynasty."

If it was about discussing Taoism and debating scriptures, our great master would naturally be able to do it with ease, but when it came to teasing men and women, he didn't know how to reply. He could only speed up his pace and find a young novice, pretending... ah, it can't be said to be fake.

By the way, I asked about the residence of Hezu in Dalian.

Everyone found the Zen room shown by the young novice, but found that there was no one in the room. When they were upset, they were about to leave, but they saw many long red eggplant fruits drying on the roof.

Qingyun said happily, "Isn't this Wu Jiao?"

When Xun Zhi heard this and looked around, it turned out to be the Wu Jiao that Xiao Zuying was talking about that day in Prince Anfeng's palace.

Monk Yuan and Liu Ying had never seen this thing before. They just listened to Xuanzhi and Qingyun dictating the deliciousness of the red oil cake that day. They salivated and the gluttons in their stomachs began to squirm.

At this time, an ordained bhikkhu came and saw everyone talking about the chili peppers drying on the roof. He bowed and smiled and said,

"It's rare that in this heavenly kingdom, there are people who know this thing. I thought it was a unique ingredient of this kingdom."

Qingyun was a familiar person, so he told the story of King Anfeng's night banquet again.

The bhikkhu put his hands on his hands and laughed,

"That batch of spicy ingredients that day actually came from Pindao.

Pindao was imported from tens of thousands of miles away, and there were ten people in the same boat, drifting in the full moon, passing through many winds and waves.

The tribesmen who were traveling with him either died in the ocean or died of illness. Only Pindao was lucky enough to be displaced ashore, and he had nothing left.

Fortunately, Pindao was addicted to spicy food, so the peppers he brought with him to accompany his meals were not all rotten.

After begging all the way here, I finally found a place to stay, so I tried planting some, and the first batch was born this year.

A few days ago, I met a comprador from a wealthy family at the Fengshi Market, so I gave him some as a gift and asked him to find some cooks to try.

If there are people in the Celestial Empire who like to eat spicy food, I can be considered as a poor man to earn a living."

Only then did Qingyun realize that Sheng Xiao'er had also made a mistake, and that these exotic species were not Wu Dijiao.

During the conversation, we learned that the other party was Huishen, a monk from the Fusang Kingdom who lived in the same monk's house with Dalian Hezu, Suwo Gaoli and Yuwenzhen.

The three of them are traveling together to beg for alms today, and I'm afraid they won't be back until the evening.

Everyone just wanted to wait, so Qingyun asked Huishen for some hot pepper, and showed off his spicy red oil trick.

Huishen himself has never tried this way of eating, so after listening to Qingyun's vivid explanation, he was naturally full of expectations.

However, there were no finished buns in the temple, so Huishen took everyone to the kitchen to ask for some buns and watch Qingyun's cooking method.

The fresh chili peppers dipped in the steamed buns made the few people feel both pain and pleasure while eating them, smacking their lips and joking with each other.

Friends who are foodies always meet each other late.

Even Xunzhi doesn't know exactly where Fusang Kingdom is.

He only knew that Fuso was a legendary sacred tree that grew out of the sun and had always represented the landmark of the Far East.

The Central Plains people believe that the far east is Qilu, which is Fusang.

The people of the Central Plains gradually realized that the land in the far east was between Korea and Japan, and there was Fusang.

But the monk in front of him seemed to come from a farther place, which was beyond Yuanyue's knowledge.

So Huishen began to explain to everyone that to the east of the Japanese country, there is the Guixu Hanhai.

At the chosen time of year, the ocean currents are heading eastward, and sailing for more than a month, more than 20,000 miles away is his hometown.

Qingyun was very curious about the hibiscus tree, so he asked about its shape.

Huishen thought for a moment, and based on what he saw, if there were plants everywhere in his hometown, but had not been seen in the Central Plains, then there were indeed them.

That kind of shrub plant is somewhat similar to the bamboo shoots in the Central Plains. It climbs taller and taller, but its vitality is very strong. Just like the legend, it can grow in the sun even in the desert dried by the sun. It is probably a hibiscus tree.

Some hibiscus trees also bear fruit, which is as long as a pear. Its leaves are like a tung tree, red in color, sweet and juicy, and very delicious.

Everyone was surprised to hear this and continued to urge Huishen to talk about the customs and customs of his hometown.

Huishen also spoke vigorously, saying that the Fusang people originally believed in heretical practices, and they wore dog heads and danced during sacrifices.

The country is full of exotic flowers and fruits. There is a kind of leaf that can make people extremely excited after eating it, causing hallucinations and madness. There are also sacred cows with horns several feet long...

The four brothers listened, sighing and booing, and most of the day passed in a flash.

In the evening, the three Kuhaha brothers pushed open the door and walked in. No need to ask, they must be the real masters that the elders were waiting for.

As soon as I entered the room, the aroma of spicy oil evoked three souls.

They have seen money and beautiful women, and their hearts are never moved by the asceticism. But when have they ever been tempted like this?

So without a few words of greeting, the three of them joined the Taotie battle group.

Looking at this devouring momentum, as long as the steamed buns dipped in chili are served to him at this time, what do you want to ask, and why can't you tell the truth?

Especially this Dalian Hezu, he is really a cheerful person. He chews the steamed bun in his mouth and keeps talking, spraying the steamed bun residue all over the sky.

Although the tribes outside Kunlun and Guan in China are rude, when it comes to their ancestors, they all have great backgrounds.

He started with Changshengtian Tengger, breaking off, supporting plow, and Qilian, which are actually words with the same origin.

Qilian is the sky, Dalian is the great one in the world, and he is a natural noble.

In the Gaoche Kingdom, the Dalian family has always held the hereditary elder seat equivalent to that of the Prime Minister of the Central Plains. However, it has been slightly declining in recent years. Instead, it has been overshadowed by the rising Di family, which is quite unsatisfactory.

The Japanese Su Gaoli kept nodding in agreement, because the Dalian clan also has a very deep connection with their country.

At this time, the government system of the Japanese state was still very close to that of the Guanwai tribe, and their prime minister was also named Dalian.

Now the six clans in the country check and balance each other, the royal power is declining, and the political situation is chaotic.

The Suga family was originally a wealthy family that crossed over from China. At this time, some members of the tribe had to choose to cross back to their homeland to temporarily avoid the limelight.

Soga Goryeo himself was actually born in Korea (as mentioned in the beginning of the book, the peninsula was called Korea in ancient times). The nobles of Wa and Baekje intermarried with each other, so he and Baekje Guowenzhen were still cousins.

Yuwenzheng comes from the Yuwen tribe of Xianbei. The customs of various tribes in Xianbei are different. This Yuwen tribe has a characteristic. They have the custom of Kuntou, which is to shave their hair from the forehead to the top of the head and put it in a bun on the back of the head.

, this hairstyle is easy to identify in the crowd.

In ancient times, Yuwenbu and Beifuyu were good neighbors to each other and helped each other in the wasteland of eastern Liaoning.

Later, the people from Fuyu, also known as Wu, who were imported from the south, established a small country south of the Han River, called Shiji Kingdom. It is said that it got its name because ten families of the Yu family came across from the east of the Yangtze River.

Because the Shiji Kingdom was often threatened by the Goguryeo tribe in the north, it had to recruit troops, so it called itself Nanfuyu to win over the tribes.

This branch of Yu Wenzhen came to Shiji Kingdom at this time.

During the Three Kingdoms period, King Wu sent hundreds of boats to the sea and sent more than ten thousand soldiers and horses to the north to join Gongsun Yuan. As a result, Gongsun Yuan had already surrendered to Wei when the soldiers and horses arrived.

In order to show his loyalty, Gongsun killed the Wu envoy, leaving more than 10,000 troops imported from Wu to stay in Shiji.

What was the concept of tens of thousands of soldiers on the peninsula at that time?

Even Goguryeo, a wealthy family that lived together with the four Han counties, did not have such strong soldiers and horses!

The Shije Kingdom therefore changed its name to Baekje and became a peninsular power.

In this group of Wu troops, there was a general named Yu Shuo, who was the grandson of Yu Fan, a famous official of Soochow.

He knew that there were many Wuyue immigrants in the Japanese country in the sea, so he took the initiative to send an envoy to the Japanese country, which opened high-level contacts between Baekje and the Japanese country.

The Yu family came out of the place to the extreme west of Yuyuan. The west was called Qin and the south was called Chu.
