Su You curled his lips: "Why not use Jilan or Tianlan? The price has dropped."

Qrow quickly waved his hand: "I don't dare to ruin such a good plate. What if the temperature is too high and it is burned and deformed?"

Su You understood as soon as he heard this. Yixing craftsmen were sneaky and cunning. They first fired a plain white pottery plate, then used glaze color to create a second creation on the pottery embryo, and then fired it at low temperature.

Indeed, this reduces the risk and cost of firing to a minimum. It is shaped first and then decorated.

However, it is obviously a lack of ingenuity and fooling foreigners.

Su You turned the plate over, and there was an Arabic text written in blue on the bottom: "What is this?"

Alp said devoutly: "This is Dharma Haiha, and it is also the beginning chapter of the saint's classics."

After speaking, he chanted in a low voice: "In the name of the most merciful and merciful true God, all praise belongs to the true God, the God of all the worlds, the most merciful and merciful God, the God of the Day of Retribution. We only worship you and ask for your help."

“Guide us in a straight path, the path of those you help, not the path of those who are condemned and angry, nor the path of those who are astray.”

Su You nodded: "This scripture is good. I also wish you the best to find the road to peace, the road to wealth, the road to happiness, and the road to connect Eastern and Western civilizations."

Everyone prostrated on the ground: "Thank you to the true God, and thank you to the merciful Lord City Governor."

The biggest difference in price between east and west is porcelain, tea, silk. Brass and white copperware can be used to bluff people nowadays. Gold and silverware are obviously used for bribery along the way.

The simplest and crudest ones are copper coins and gold and silver coins.

Su You said: "For this voyage, we have prepared two Hangzhou-type ships with a material cost of 5,000 yuan, four Kuizhou-type ships with a material cost of 3,000 yuan, and ten Meishan-type ships for escort."

"The cargo capacity, safety, and most critical speed of these ships cannot be compared with your ship and the Songfu Ship, so you don't need to go out this time to avoid wasting time."

"However, your goods can be transported on ships, and the treatment given to you will be the same as that of Han merchants. In other words, 70% of the profits will go to the Shipping Department, and 30% will go to you."

"The destination of this voyage is to at least reach Seran and Nampi, and try to reach Baida and Basiluo, your hometowns in Kuro. If we can bypass Maliba and reach Majia and Besili, we will announce the envoys along the way.

Collect books and language talents, and recruit merchants. When you come back, I will ask the court for your merits and assign official positions to you! By the way, Pu Li's ancestor was called a general, right?"

Pu Li bowed: "Exactly, my ancestor was General Huaihua who was conferred by the imperial court. My father admired Fan Li, a great merchant from the Shang Dynasty, and named the little man Li, with the courtesy name Xiwei."

Su You couldn't help but feel funny in his heart. Your father is also a big-hearted person. He wants you to become Fan Li and Lu Buwei. He encouraged you: "Really? So you only need to work hard to make money, and the Song Dynasty can also give rewards. Where can you find such good things?"

Going? We will set sail in more than two months, everyone, come on."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The Pujia's barbecue is indeed quite good, and the main flavor comes from the Huihui's unique spice powder.

This thing should not be left alone. Su You asked Pu Li to fetch the spices. The ones that could be recognized were frankincense, myrrh, cinnamon, benzoin, dried lime, and cloves. The remaining two, according to Pu Li,

It is said that one is called tamarind seed, which is actually the tamarind that is common in suyou in later generations. There is also a lemon-flavored yellow powder, and one called dried malab fruit.

Pu Li proudly pointed to the yellow powder and said: "This thing is not found in the earth, it is called yellow fragrant powder."

Su You dipped a little with his finger and put it in his mouth. There was a sour taste: "Come on, you got this stuff from tobacco leaves, right?"

Pu Li was frightened: "How did Shaobao know?!"

Su You curled his lips and said, "This thing of yours has long been used in Meishan to clarify rice wine, dye silk, and tan leather. It's just that it hasn't spread to central Zhejiang yet. And it's not just tobacco leaves, sumac,

The highest content is found in gallnuts."

"There is also Yuanxiang flower, which was also used by the concubines in the Tang Dynasty court to bathe their delicate skin."

Pu Li was very embarrassed: "Then next time you go back to Song Dynasty, you can't bring this with you. We are selling it as spices."

Su You pointed at the thing called Mailab: "I've never seen this before."

Pu Li didn't dare to show off anymore: "This is the kernel of a tree called black cherry. It is used with sesame oil. The wood is also an important material for making wooden utensils."

Su You was surprised: "Hard wood? That's really a cherry."

Pu Li picked up another cup of dark drink: "Thank you for the wise city guard, please taste our Wasset."

Seeing that, Su You brought it to his nose and smelled it: "Damn! Isn't this coffee?"

Pu Li said carefully: "Well... we call the sugar-free one Seda, the one with less sugar called Wasset, and the one with more sugar called Ziad... We don't... don't use the name coffee very much."

Su You took a careful sip: "Yes, it's just like Song Tea, with a lot of added ingredients!"

Pu Li was so happy: "The City Governor is really our most distinguished guest. There are also sugar, cinnamon powder, and cardamom powder in this. Among Song people who can get used to this, the City Governor is the first!"

Su You said carefully: "How about we try another method? Is there any milk?"

The next step was simple. Su You asked the maid to fry the coffee beans and grind them into powder, fry the sugar into caramel, filter out the coffee juice and mix it with milk and caramel. Then he made a large pot full and poured it for everyone.

He ordered a large cup: "Come, borrow flowers to offer to Buddha, oh no, to the true God. I wish you a better and better life in the Song Dynasty and bring more and richer products to the Song Dynasty."

Everyone raised their glasses in response. Pu Li now finally knew how knowledgeable and talented the two great figures respected by the two Wisdom Palace masters, Kuro and Alp, were: "Lord City Governor, it turns out this is coffee, and it tastes very good.

! It’s also easy to make! I will definitely bring this drinking method back to my hometown!”

Uh... this... Su You had to change the subject: "This voyage, bring spices, jewelry, ivory, and valuable trees when you come back. That is necessary, but more, I think you should bring crop seeds.

Excellent livestock, such as this coffee bean, as well as high-quality rapeseed, cotton, sheep, horses, etc."

"By the way, there is also a plant that is similar to a dandelion. Its roots have a rich white pulp that is very sticky and sticks to your hands. Try to find that thing and bring it to me."

After that, he said to Alp: "There are also books from the Palace of Wisdom. Your hometown is currently in raging war, and the essence of civilization has been tragically lost. It makes the wise man heartbroken."

"You should collect as much as possible and transport them to the Song Dynasty. Looking at today, only the Song Dynasty has the financial, material and manpower to give these classics a proper place to store."

"I will build a new Wisdom Palace for you in Hangzhou to store your classics. You will also start preparing to translate the Dashi text into Chinese characters."

"Knowledge is the common wealth of mankind regardless of ethnic groups. Remember, you are not just saving your own civilization, but the common civilization of all mankind."

Qrow and Alp couldn't stop their tears from flowing, and they knelt in front of Su You: "Wise and wise great city governor, you are the messenger sent to the world by the true God. All the wise palace people will surely become the city governor.

Your Majesty's initiative is running smoothly. Your wisdom will always be recorded in the history of civilization, whether in the East or the West."

Coming out of Fanfang, there was a cloth bag behind Su You's horse.

Coffee beans are a good thing. They can stimulate the nerves and refresh the mind.

The big guys all have a lot to do every day, and they also have to write poems and articles. After having gas lamps, staying up late is the norm.

Moreover, people in the Song Dynasty now also like to drink sticky things. Tea leaves are ground and mixed with spices, which is similar to the coffee of the Dashi people today.

Su You didn't ask for the gems and spices, but he robbed about ten kilograms of coffee beans, intending to use them to build relationships with the big guys.
