Chapter 696: Spice King
Chapter 696: Spice King.
After an afternoon's rest, the next day, Ye Xing and the others followed Zheng He to the Guli spice market to trade.
Conducting trade has always been Zheng He's business, Ye Xing and others came with him, just to watch the excitement and have fun, but Ye Xing also has another purpose, that is, to observe whether he can meet the people of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the people of Zhu Yunwen, Emperor Jianwen.
According to Ye Xing's guess, Zhu Yunwen is very likely to be in Guli, and to find Zhu Yunwen, you must start from the Ming people in Guli.
The Guli spice market is very large, and you can smell the fragrance from afar, and after entering the market, the fragrance is even more tangy, and the shops are very tastefully decorated, giving people a sense of elegance in the vulgar.
The reason why it is a feeling of elegance in the vulgar is also said.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying of three elegances in the vulgar.
Flower shops, incense shops and book shops!
Flowers, incense, and books are all extremely elegant things in the eyes of literati, but when these things are sold, those shops have become vulgar things, and now looking at these extremely elegant things, Ye Xing also has some such feelings in his heart.
Once elegant things become a sale, the taste will be somewhat less.
They walked around the spice market, Zheng He introduced their respective spices and the uses of these spices for them, and after Ye Xing and the others listened, they suddenly felt that their understanding of spices was superficial.
It turns out that spices are not only those things that can exude fragrance, but also some can play a preservative role, and even be used as a seasoning for food.
said a lot like this, but Ai Fei'er couldn't listen to it anymore, he was not a scholar, and he knew what to do, so he suddenly interrupted Zheng He's introduction and asked, "Brother Zheng, now that we have traveled a long way here, what are we going to do there to trade?" ”
Zheng He smiled slightly: "When you come to Guli to conduct a large amount of spice trade, you will naturally go to the spice king." ”
Everyone was a little shocked when they heard Zheng He's words, a person who was known as the king in the spice business, his business must be very big, so after listening to Zheng He's words, everyone was a little yearning.
After everyone walked for a long time, Zheng He finally asked everyone to stop, and then they saw a very large store with a few big words written on the store: Excellent Spices.
Zheng He smiled at everyone: "The spices of this superb spice are the best in Guli, and they are also the most complete, the price is reasonable, and the most important thing is that the owner of this spice shop is a woman." ”
After listening to Zheng He's words, everyone was even more surprised, if it weren't for Zheng He being a eunuch, they really suspected that Zheng He had some ulterior motive for bringing them here.
Di Xiaojie listened to Zheng He's words and hurriedly asked: "The boss of this superb spice is a woman, what a powerful woman!" ”
Zheng He nodded slightly: "Okay, let's all go in!" ”
Everyone heard that the owner of this excellent spice is a woman, and they want to go in and have a look, after they entered the store, they were immediately fascinated by the spices inside, all kinds of fragrances came to their noses, and some spices are also rich in artistic value, which really opened the eyes of **.
The guy at the spice shop saw that business was coming, so he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted, "What kind of spices do you want?" We've got all the spices here, if you say it, we've got it. ”
Zheng He looked around the best spice shop, and then asked with a smile, "Where is your proprietress Rosa?" ”
When the guy saw that Zheng He was not like their Guli people, but he knew the name of their boss lady Rosa, he suddenly had doubts in his heart, and he was also careful, he looked at Zheng He and asked, "What are you looking for our boss lady to do?" ”
The guy's eyes seemed to be looking at a person with bad intentions, but his eyes were seen by Ye Xing and the others, and they all felt like laughing, even if Zheng He wanted to have a bad relationship with their boss, I am afraid he would not have that ability.
Just as Zheng He was about to explain, a voice suddenly came from the back door of the store: "It turned out that Lord Zheng came, and it has been two years since Lord Zheng left last time and came this time." ”
The shop guy saw that their proprietress recognized Zheng He, so he relaxed his vigilance, Zheng He said with a smile: "It's been two years, the spices I bought from you last time, and after returning to China, our emperor liked it very much, so this time, our emperor specially told me to buy more and go back!" ”
Rosa smiled and walked in slowly, when she walked in, Ye Xing and the others saw her face clearly, Rosa looks very charming, it is the kind of charm unique to mature women, such a woman is very attractive to men, and Rosa obviously knows how to use her advantages, otherwise even the eunuch Zheng He can't resist buying things here.
However, it is also possible that Ye Xing and they are thinking too much, how can Zheng He like women?
But why can't you like it, although Zheng He is a eunuch, but a eunuch is also a human, he should also have seven emotions and six desires, and he also has the right to like women.
Isn't it true that people with physical disabilities don't have the right to like people?
This thought flashed in Ye Xing's mind, he just thought about it, and if Zheng He really liked Rosa, he could only think about it, although the Ming Dynasty allowed eunuchs to marry wives, such as Wei Zhongxian of the Ming Dynasty, his wife was the emperor's nurse, but Zheng He didn't want to leave such a notoriety.
Therefore, even if he likes a woman, he can only hide it in his heart.
When Rosa heard that Zhu Di, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also liked the spices she had here, she immediately smiled and said, "Since your emperor likes my spices here so much, then buy more of them, and go back and give them to friends!" ”
Zheng He nodded, and then introduced Ye Xing and the others to Rosa, when Rosa looked at Ye Xing, her eyes moved violently, and she seemed to be a little shocked, but no one knew why she was shocked.
Who understands a woman's mind?
Ye Xingchang is not very handsome, but he is very attractive to men, I think that after a woman sees him, she will have a little heartbeat.
After the introduction, Rosa led Zheng He and them to the backyard of their shop, the backyard was very large, almost beyond the belief of Ye Xing and the others, the backyard was almost the size of a manor, and there were many spice-producing plants in it, and those plants were all kinds of plants, and they also faintly exuded fragrance.
According to Zheng He, the spices sold in the front store are all sold to individual customers, and if a big customer like them has to go to this backyard to see the goods.
And when Ye Xing and the others saw this huge manor, they immediately believed in the fact that Rosa was the king of spices, if there was no strength, who could have such a big manor?
