In short, for Ha Zheng and the others, all this is a dream-like existence, and then think of the terrifying pillar of light on the sea last night - some people say that it is the eyes of the sea dragon, and the captain at this moment already believes that everything in front of him is from the Dragon Palace.

The dishes are scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried shredded pork with chili peppers, elbow sauce, the soup is pumpkin and shrimp skin soup, and the staple food is ordinary white rice and white flour steamed buns.

At this time, Xue Laixiang brought a few glass wine glasses and put them in front of the two of them, but they looked stupid again, you must know that all the wine utensils in this era are ceramic, like this crystal clear wine utensils, not to mention them, they may not even be seen in the Sulu Palace!

Xue Laixiang picked up the wine bottle, first poured it for the host Zhu Beiguo, then poured it for the two guests, and finally poured it for himself.

Then Zhu Beiguo smiled and said:

"The conditions on this ship are limited, and you can only make some ordinary dishes, but this wine is quite strong, this, although the two countries are fighting, but the two of them are just cannibals, entrusted by people, it is really hard to travel back and forth, Zhu Beiguo is here to give the two of them the wind."

After speaking, he drank all the wine in the small wine glass.

Zheng Fu didn't make a sound, still staring blankly at the dishes and wine utensils on the table, listening to Zhu Beiguo speak, just nodding frequently, and actually forgot to translate.

Xue Laixiang knew that he was stimulated by the wine bottle and wine glass, and he was like this at the beginning, so he repeated Zhu Beiguo's words just now to the two people who were in a daze, and then the two of them quickly stood up as if they suddenly realized, they didn't know what they were talking about, the small wine glass in their hands was trembling slightly, but they also drank the wine according to Zhu Beiguo's example-and then the two began to cough violently.

Obviously, they didn't expect the wine to be a little high......

Spirits were available in this era, but there were very few that exceeded 40 degrees, and the sweet potato wine that Zhu Beiguo took out to entertain was a standard 52-degree distilled spirit, which was expected to open up the market.

At this time, Ha Zheng and the others were a little caught off guard, and they were stimulated by alcohol to their throats, and they only eased up after a violent cough.

The two of them were amazed by the red peppers and red tomatoes, and yes, most of the peppers and tomatoes of this era were still wild in the jungles of the Americas, except for the old king's farm, and now the Spaniards had just brought these two things to Europe, and many people treated these plants as ornaments rather than dishes, so scrambled eggs with tomatoes and fried shredded pork with chili peppers were a delicacy that they had never eaten before.

As for the sauce elbow, the two firmly believe that this delicacy cannot be made without more than three precious spices...... This meal was eaten for nearly an hour, which greatly exceeded the planned time, and finally Zhu Beiguo made the east and gave four bottles of sweet potato wine to the two people.

It's actually a glass bottle!

Then Zhu Beiguo put on a calm smile and told the two of them that this wine was a gift from the Australian Commonwealth to His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister respectively, one bottle per person, and the two of you also have one!

When Xue Laixiang translated to them again, the two of them were so excited that they wanted to kneel on the ground and kowtow, but Xue Laixiang came forward to persuade them.

Haluban and Zheng Fu knew the value of this wine, and heard that they also had their own share, when the four bottles of wine were handed to the two of them in four cloth bags, they couldn't help but be a little incredulous, Zhu Beiguo saw that the two of them rubbed their hands and didn't know whether to take it or not, and said with a smile, If His Majesty the King is willing to do business with the Australians, as long as the two sides reach a consensus and sign an agreement, the Australians have a lot of goods to provide to you, and this wine is one of them.

After listening to Xue Laixiang's translation, Ha Zheng and the two couldn't help but be a little excited, they immediately realized the business opportunities here, and they also clearly knew the value of such trade goods in the South China Seas, so they couldn't help but glance at each other, and almost at the same time reached out and hugged the wine bottle in their arms......

Bottled in glass bottles is a high-count sweet potato wine, glass bottles are old bottles from supermarket supplies, and if the label is washed off and the lid is replaced with a wine cork, it becomes a high-priced item.

This operation was agreed upon before departure, and the idea at that time was that if you want to sell Lao Wang's wine at a high price, in addition to the quality of the wine itself, the outer packaging is also a selling point, and the wine has always had a little lingering sweet potato flavor, then, if you want to push this wine to the level of high-end goods, packaging is a key point.

Now that I have arrived in Sulu and met Xue Laixiang and these people, the whole plan has changed a little, so this wine has become a gift before it is sold.

Gift-giving is a stepping stone to doing business, both ancient and modern, both Chinese and foreign, everyone knows in their hearts, no matter what kind of face we appear in the future, in the end it will be implemented in business, no one has forgotten the purpose of this trip: to establish trade ties, buy girls, get labor, rather than simply pretending to fight to compensate.

As for sending them four bottles of sweet potato wine, of course, it was to tell the king and prime minister of Sulu that we not only have strong ships and good things, and that you can make a fortune by cooperating with us, so you can choose for yourself where to go......

In the afternoon, the main hall of the Palace of the Kings of Sulu.

"Three hundred and eighty thousand?!"

His Majesty could not help but glance at the Prime Minister sitting under the throne, who was staring at the crystal clear bottle in front of him, as if he had not heard the huge number at all.

"You dog minions! It's a matter of how to do it! ”

The young king's face suddenly showed anger, and he looked very unhappy, and suddenly pointed viciously at the two people kneeling below and said angrily.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger, the Australians said that in addition to returning the ships and freeing the Han slaves, they originally demanded compensation of 400,000 taels of silver, but we argued for a while, and only then did we talk about the thirty-eight, and also said...... There is no in this treasury, the homes of the adults...... Home...... There was ......"

Captain Haruban may have drunk a little too much sweet potato wine at noon, at this time the strength of the wine has not passed, as the saying goes, wine is strong and courageous, this time, in the court, the captain is no longer as before, nodding yes when asked, bowing his head and buckling the floor tile joints, but stammering in the direction of the throne.

The king seemed to be choked up when he heard this, looked at the Australian wine bottle placed in front of his royal table, and then at the prime minister, who was still sitting beside him silently, exhaled, and asked in as steady a voice as possible:

"What is the prime minister's plan for this?"

"Zheng Fu! What does the Australian surnamed Zhu have to say, even though he is telling the truth! ”

Prime Minister Suhabidatu suddenly said to Zheng Fu in Chinese.

It stands to reason that this hall is supreme, and a foreign slave like Zheng Fu can't speak, and he can't even enter the door of the hall.

But now the matter is in a hurry, after all, the captain of the ship, Lord Haruban, is only the only official in the entire Sulu country who has dealt with the Australians because he has been captured by the Australians and has brought letters, so he has been sent to him several times, not because he has any diplomatic talents-the Prime Minister knows this.

Therefore, do not let this foreign slave translate in, many things are not clear at all by that straw bag, and at this time it is a critical moment for the negotiation between the two sides, a careless will cause a misunderstanding, really misunderstood, no one knows what the consequences are, judging from the content of yesterday's letter, although the Australian Federation has no record in history and no source, it is obviously the same origin as the Han people, so it is necessary to send the Han slave Zheng Fu to be the interpreter.
