Chapter 332 [331] The Fall of Ceuta(1/2)

Ming Dynasty, Yingtian Mansion.

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..."
