In the royal palace overlooking the blue sea, the governor of Tunisia, Essebsi Pasha, said gently: "Orientals, you underestimate the power of the Ottoman Empire! ”

"If you only think you can solve an empire after two victories, then you have miscalculated!" The gray-haired ruler admonished: "The Ottoman Empire has encountered more dangerous things than it has now, but it has survived without incident, and it is stronger than ever!" ”

He shook his head lightly and said, "Orientals, you say that it is not easy to ensure our safety!" ”

Su Peng, who was on a mission, came to Tunisia and was received by Essebsi Pasha, and it seems that the situation is not good.

Essebsi Pasha is old-fashioned, he does not want to betray the Ottoman Empire, but he is also friendly to the Oriental envoys, after all, the Orientals are currently superior militarily, since Essebsi Pasha thinks about the future, he can't help but consider what if the Orientals really gain power?

So he asked Su Peng to share salt and bread and drink tea together!

The Middle East and the Arab region are particular about eating and drinking, when the host invites guests to eat and drink, he will ensure the safety of the guests, so Su Peng is also relieved, and what reassures him even more is that the southeast army behind him, killing an envoy and offending the powerful southeast army, no one with a brain will do this.

Su Peng came prepared, he did his homework, and said calmly: "I have deep respect for Tunisia, this is a country with a heritage, a long time ago, the Phoenicians established the city of Carthage in the coastal area of the Gulf of Tunis, and Carthage, a powerful country that can fight against Rome, its prestige has been passed down to this day!" ”

"In the 13th century, the Hafs dynasty established a powerful Tunisian state...... Now, it's time to free the Ottomans from slavery and restore the glory of the Tunisian forefathers! He bewitched: "We, the southeastern country, are deeply supportive of this and can provide the necessary support!" ”

The Tunisians here are deeply sympathetic, and some are even more eager to speak in favor of the proposal.

The sons and ministers of the participants Essebsi Pasha were all Arabs, the descendants of the Hafs dynasty, which was defeated in 1574 A.D. and Tunisia became a dependency of the Ottoman Empire, less than a hundred years ago, and the Hafs dynasty still has a deep foundation!

Before they had to obey the power of the Ottomans, but were they really convinced?

It's better to be the master of your own house than to have an extra mother-in-law, and the arrival of the Orientals provides them with one more choice, which makes them very excited.

Essebsi Pasha was silent, he thought of the other side, he understood the power of the Ottoman Empire, what if the people in the East were not in harmony?

But if you offend the Orientals, then there will be a big trouble with food!

Egypt is the breadbasket of Africa, and the Egyptians are accustomed to growing grain, while in other places, such as Tunisia, even if there is water, there are not many people who grow food, relying on foreign imports, of which Egypt's grain is the majority!

Refusing the proposal of the Orientals, he could not fail to take into account the problem of food.

Therefore, he did not directly reject Su Peng's proposal, everyone talked about the customs and customs, and Su Peng introduced the grand occasion of the two Chinas, which made the Tunisians fascinated!

There is a picture and a truth!

Su Peng took out the world map, although it was not perfect, but it had already frightened the Tunisians, and they looked at the huge area of the two China on the map, as well as the area that indicated the followers of the two China, which was too amazing!

It seems to be much bigger than the Ottoman Empire!

Someone asked privately, "Isn't that fake?" ”

Others thought: "It should be true, this is an envoy from the east, specially printing a fake map for us?" ”

Su Peng said neatly: "The land in our southeast country is fertile, the rain is abundant, the light is strong, and the wood can sprout and take root when it is planted in the ground!" ”

Impossible!

Everyone was in an uproar, and others listened to it as anecdotes, but a veteran like Essebsi Pasha knew the meaning of the song, and understood that the Oriental envoys were referring to their lack of covetousness for the land of Tunisia, and that people would covet their sand land if they had fertile soil!

Su Peng's introduction to the wealth and strength of the Southeast Army made the Tunisians yearn for it.

No one doubted his words, because the goods of the Chinese were available to these high-class people, who used the finest Jingdezhen porcelain, drank high-quality tea, wrapped silk and satin, smoked hookah, and ate Chinese sugar...... Everything is a temptation that cannot be refused, especially Chinese sugar, which is of high quality and high price, and Arabs like to eat sweets, so they can't do without Chinese sugar.

Over the years, the southeastern countries have expanded their exports, and at least half of Tunisia's silver money has gone to the east!

Now that the Orientals are knocking on the door, where to go?

Esebsi Pasha gave Su Peng a warm welcome, but did not give a clear answer, only said that he would consider it, and Su Peng took his leave.

In the middle of nowhere, Captain Yuan Feng, an officer of the Southeast Army, who was traveling with him, proposed: "Sir, I see that many Tunisians want independence, so as far as Essebsi Pasha is concerned, can we contact those people and ......?"

Now that he is here, of course he doesn't want to go home empty-handed, Tunisia has a great possibility of independence, why not add fuel to the fire, if necessary, he still wants to learn from the class!

The Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu competed for the Western Regions, and Ban Chao made Shanshan in the Western Regions, killing the Huns through means, prompting the King of Shanshan to fall to the Han Dynasty and achieving a good reputation in history!

Yuan Feng also wanted to come to such a hand, and it is not impossible to win the independence of Tunisians!

Su Peng knew what he meant, and rejected this tempting offer: "We have cards in our hands, and we are not afraid that the Tunisians will not give in!" ”

When he talked about the grain situation in Egypt, Yuan Feng saw that he was confident, so he didn't say anything.

Furthermore, Esebsi Pasha sent someone to spy on the envoys of the Orientals, and the spies reported: "They go back to the hotel at night to sleep and go out during the day." ”

Hearing this, Esebsi Pasha's heart tightened, and he asked, "What are they going out for?" ”

"They all went to see the scenery, eat, and said that they were the Heavenly Empire, and I think they are refugees who have never eaten!" The spy said with a smirk.

When I asked, I really went to eat!

It turns out that Tunisia is located in the north of Africa, geographically very close to Europe, and the "feng shui rotation" of various powerful empires for thousands of years has not only left many historical and architectural relics here, but also has a long-term impact on the life of Tunisians today. Therefore, Tunisian cuisine has both the wild simplicity of Africa, the sweetness of Arabia, and the delicacy of the Mediterranean.

Tunisian cuisine, Shouti Kuscus, is loved by locals and tourists alike, and is a specialty dish that many people will never forget after tasting it.

The kind of thing that looks like millet and tastes a little like millet is actually steamed with wheat and other flours, and it is used as a staple food, accompanied by dried fruits, vegetables, chickpeas, lamb, chicken, etc., and it becomes a delicious couscous.

There is also 'stuffy mutton', which is mixed with ingredients and seasonings such as mutton, potatoes, tomatoes, green peppers, salt, pepper, etc., and then sealed with noodles and buried in a sand pit under a charcoal fire to simmer, and after about an hour, the delicious food is ready to be baked. The mutton is crispy but not rotten, the potatoes are soft and fragrant, and the overall taste is light but not greasy, which is very delicious.

The way the chef opens the jar is unique, the chef uses a wooden stick to break the pot directly, and the aroma is overflowing, which is quite a ritual of opening champagne to celebrate.

……

All kinds of delicacies, three Chinese here to chew on the heart, thoroughly implement the words of Prime Minister Chen Xinji: "Life in the world is to eat and drink, and a nation that cannot eat has no future for development!" ”

They also meet guests, and when they meet guests, they are bright and fair, and they do not deceive the dark room!

Say anything, don't be afraid of others hearing it.

As a result, they got a future, and Essebsi Pasha sent someone to invite them, saying that they were ready to become independent, and asked the Chinese to support them!
