Blessed Dynasty

Cotton flowers are as white as snow, but the tentacles are as soft as clouds. When touched lightly, small catkins will fly out. The flower seller sees such a child touching the flowers he wants to sell. Immediately yelled out in squeaky language.

Li Xiaofu didn't know what this person was talking about, but Da Sinong obviously knew it, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and replied in the same language.

But even though he didn't know what this person was talking about, but he could tell from his expression that Li Xiaofu immediately acted like an ignorant child, tugged on the sleeve of Da Sinong, pointed at the cotton and began to scatter.

Seeing this scene, the flower seller immediately realized something, so he started bargaining with Da Sinong.

Cotton is not very uncommon in this place, and because the weather is inherently dry, it is even more annoying that the cotton flowers will flutter when they grow up, so except for some girls and children, few people will buy this kind of flower.

The flower farmer was just using this pot for fun, but now he saw that a child who was taken advantage of by the Central Plains actually wanted to buy this, of course he had to pay a lot of money, and when he finally received the money under the helpless eyes of that black-faced man At that time, the flower farmer was even more happy.

What a Central Plains person like a fool.

The heart of the flower farmer was full of joy, and the hearts of Li Xiaofu and Da Sinong were also full of joy!

Who would have thought that in this small border country in the Western Regions, such an artifact as cotton could be found to keep out the cold?

When Li Xiaofu took the pot of flowers, his hands couldn't help shaking a little. Fortunately, Master You Daozi was relatively steady, so he took the pot of flowers, and Li Xiaofu also showed a smile again.

With cotton, there is cotton cloth, cotton clothes, cotton shoes, and quilts. Thinking of all these, how can we not make Li Xiaofu happy?

Da Sinong also showed a smile on his face, thinking of what King Fu said, his heart was burning.

After watching all this from the sidelines, the hearts of the people in the Western Regions on both sides of the road became even hotter.

Look!The freshly baked take advantage of it is still hot!

As soon as Li Xiaofu and Da Sinoong finished buying flowers, the group was surrounded by a group of people, babbling non-stop. Li Xiaofu was fine and couldn't understand, but Da Sinong, who could understand, was in great pain. .

Pushing away the things these people handed over while walking out, Li Xiaofu was also carried and wrapped in the crowd, who knew that when the group of people were about to go out, someone knocked over one person's box, and the inside The powdery stuff poured out immediately.

"Ah Choo!" "Ah Choo!"

I don’t know what it is in the box. It smells spicy and fragrant. Dasinong and the others are very uncomfortable. Even the sorghum deep-eyed people from the Western Regions next to him sneezed. Master You Daozi couldn’t help it under the discomfort He rubbed his reddened nose, only Li Xiaofu smelled the somewhat familiar smell, instead of covering his mouth and nose, he sniffed suspiciously again.

This is?

And when he saw the yellow-green powder left in the box in the hands of the man from the Western Regions, Li Xiaofu became even more convinced.

It's actually cumin powder!

This is a sharp tool for eating barbecue. There is nothing more suitable than this to get rid of the fishy smell.

So he immediately pointed to this.

Da Si Nong immediately understood, pretending to be overwhelmed by the clumsy people from the Western Regions, he bought this box of unknown spices, and the eyes of the people from the Western Regions around him immediately became more intense.

Hey, not only is he a native of the Central Plains with a lot of money, but he is also a soft bun!

Li Xiaofu and Da Sinong carefully watched all kinds of things in the Western Regions while the people in the Western Regions were selling them, but it was a pity that they only found these two things until the end. Seeing that these people still refused to let them go , Da Sinong immediately put on a straight face.

Along the way, Da Sinong, although not to mention smiling all the time, is also very simple and kind. This is the first time Li Xiaofu sees Da Sinoong with a serious face.

And it wasn't until this moment that Li Xiaofu suddenly realized that Da Sinong fought with his father and the others back then. It was not just a resume, even if it was only in the logistics, it was the logistics of the army. The real murderous aura immediately made everyone around The noise became quieter.

Even the people in the caravan were startled suddenly, and they looked at Da Sinong in a different way immediately.

This is like the head of a caravan.

And when Da Si Nong took out a seal of a nobleman from the Western Regions, those who had offended around him scattered away with a clatter, and the surroundings immediately fell silent.

Da Sinong patted Li Xiaofu's head, held his hand, and said, "Let's go."

A group of people walked out of the busy city quietly, Li Xiaofu couldn't help but glanced at Da Sinong, Da Sinoong looked at Fu Wang's appearance that he was afraid that he wouldn't find out, and couldn't help crying and laughing, "It's just to scare them."

Since it was a caravan, after buying some things, they would naturally have to sell some things. These people in the downtown area would not be able to sell some things at a price. Only the nobles of the Western Regions could possibly afford them.

So their next destination was the owner of Da Sinong's seal - a noble from the Western Regions.

The preliminary preparations were not in vain. This western nobleman had the best Central Plains culture in his life. Whether it was porcelain, silk or even tea, they were all his favorites. So after successfully selling some goods, they stopped in this small western town for one night. .

Unlike the Central Plains curfew, the Western Regions are also extremely lively at night, with lingering music, hot dancers, barbecue and strange drinks, making up an exotic picture.

They had something to sell, and the members of the caravan would naturally bring in some private goods for sale. After getting money, the members of these caravans all went to have fun, leaving the three of them to warm up next to the tent.

While warming up by the fire, Li Xiaofu couldn't help but cook something to eat.

Because he brought a large caravan, Li Xiaofu naturally brought more things. He threw some raw chestnuts into the half-lit fire, and after that, it was barbecue!

And what's better than roast meat sprinkled with cumin powder?

Da Sinong didn't know what Fu Wang wanted the yellow-green powder that was a bit pungent, but when Fu Wang sprinkled the yellow-green powder and some chili powder evenly on the skewers, he didn't know what the powder was. What is the role?

Suddenly I couldn't laugh or cry, "So it's for food!"

Li Xiaofu grinned, didn't speak, just turned the meat skewers evenly with the firelight, and as time went by, soon, a strange fragrance spread out, people couldn't help but follow the fragrance to find out .

Da Sinong's expression also changed again and again, becoming salivating.

And when Li Xiaofu handed him a meat skewer, Da Sinong couldn't help but took a bite immediately. When the rich aroma and a little bit of spicy taste burst from his mouth, Da Sinong's taste buds were simply delicious. It's very ironed.

"Is this meat not fishy?"

Barbecue is delicious, but if it is not properly handled, it will have a fishy smell. It is okay in the Central Plains, where there are wine and other items to remove the smell, and it can be slightly pickled, and you can eat some beef and mutton, but in the Western Regions...

Although I haven't been here before, I can get a glimpse of it just by looking at the barbecue of other Western Regions. The smell is simply unbearable, and it is also a place that many people in the Central Plains dislike.

But it never occurred to me that the originally smelly barbecue was actually suppressed after just adding a little seasoning. Not only was it suppressed, but it also made the original barbecue more delicious and fragrant, which made Da Sinoong very happy.

"This is specially made to suppress the fishy smell, so we need to ask the people in the Western Regions for some seeds of this spice so that we can go back and plant it."

"it is good!"

Da Sinong agreed without hesitation, eating barbecue immediately made him happier.

So the next day, people from the caravan sent out to check for the traces of these two plants, but cotton was okay to say, it was just a cheap ornamental flower, but cumin was different.

As a spice, cumin is highly valued.

Fortunately, a batch of goods was sold with the nobles of the Western Regions yesterday, and only then did they have enough funds to purchase fresh cumin that had not been processed and ground into powder, and there were even cumin trees to buy.

If there is not a farther journey to go, Li Xiaofu and Da Sinong will definitely choose to bring the cumin tree back to Dajin. What, I was not sure if I could take good care of this tree, so Li Xiaofu and Da Sinong had no choice but to give up on it regrettably, and chose cumin seeds.

In the same way, cotton cannot be taken out as a whole, so Li Xiaofu only chose to take out the flower seeds inside the cotton.

Of course Li Xiaofu can make the cotton ginning machine, but even if he does it again, in the far western regions, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, so Li Xiaofu had no choice but to give up making this simple machine regrettably, and chose to manually gin the machine. .

That is to choose long strips to carry out the deseed process to cotton.

This busy work lasted for several days. When the last cotton seed was picked, Da Siong saw that the cotton had already started to shudder. He had no choice but to let anyone be choked by the flying cotton wool for three days. I will feel uncomfortable, even if I wear a cloth towel around the nostrils, I still feel very uncomfortable.

But any hard work will not be in vain. After three days of busy work at Dasinong, the results of their three days of hard work finally came out—not just the bag of cotton seeds, but also the bag full of cotton seeds. Bag of cotton!

And what is the cotton used for?How to keep warm?Why does this make the people of Dajin not afraid of the cold?

Da Sinong finally realized it on this day.

Because Li Xiaofu and Master You Daozi actually used these cotton to make a quilt!

When he got into the thick quilt for the first time on a cool night, Da Si Nong was so moved that tears filled his eyes, it was so warm!so comfortable!Such a sense of security!Blessed are the people of Dajin!

Da Sinong wished he could stay in this quilt for the rest of his life and never come out. This is the first quilt made of cotton!

The first article, what a commemorative significance!

However, Da Sinong had no choice but to separate from his beloved quilt in a short time in the middle of the night.

There is no way, even though the temperature difference between day and night in the Western Regions is large, it is not so big that it is outrageous. In this season, it is covered with a thick quilt that weighs eight catties...

Da Sinong was sweating profusely and thought, in order not to let the heat rash delay their trip, um, the quilt, let's cover it later, let's cover it later!
