Chapter 135 Beets
Chapter 135 Beets
Seeing Min Wu's desolation and panic, as if seeing a savior, Li Xian couldn't bear to reprimand him. After all, this is also a character of his "uncle generation", so he slapped Min Wu on the back of the head casually, and said bitterly : "Longer memory!"
"Remember, remember! Huh, huh, half of his legs were buried in heavy snow, and there was nothing to eat, nothing to drink, if fate hadn't met these Qiang barbarians, and he had finished eating grass roots and dried fruits, I'm afraid they will be slaughtered and eaten!"
Min Wu cried with snot and tears, groped and took out a root from his arms, gnawed half of the grass root and showed it to Li Xian, hoping that the brothers could have some sympathy and compassion.
The shriveled rhizome is red, shaped like a spindle, with a few wide, wilted and blackened dry leaves hanging from it. It looks a bit like a red radish, but it doesn't look like Bowanghou in Han Dynasty. Carrots brought by Zhang Qian from the Western Regions.
Li Xian was listening to Min Wu's joke-like experience, grinning and twitching, and couldn't stop laughing, seeing him take out such a half-gnawed thing, thinking about what he ate these days was cattle and sheep food, even more so. Laughing forward and backward, why does this grassroot look familiar?
Li Xian laughed twice, and with a flash of inspiration, he finally remembered what this thing was!
The laughter stopped abruptly, and he rushed forward with a groan, grabbed the grass roots that were about to be thrown away by Min Wuqi humming, and roared, "Stop!"
[Beetroot! ! ! 】
Zhong Ke also yelled in Li Xian's mind almost at the same time.
Min Wu was mostly out of his body by Li Xian's yelling, and he was almost scared to death. He watched his brother carefully holding the hay root that was half eaten by him, and the expression on his face changed all over the place. Thousands, it seems that you have met an old lover who you miss day and night, and you seem to have met a cruel woman who abandoned her family and children.
"Ah, Ah Xian?!"
Min Wu yelled carefully, a good brother won't go crazy when he sees this grassroots, right?He gnawed a lot of this rotten grass root, whether it was sweet or not, but he didn't find it poisonous? !
[This is the original beet root!Not sure if it's still active?Min Wu, I don't know whether to say he is lucky or unlucky. 】
"Where did this thing come from? Is there any more? Don't tell me you ate it all up?!" Li Xian picked up Min Wu's collar and shouted.
He has been thinking about the beet for a long time!Just so tragically and abruptly jumped in front of him.
"Well, this thing was originally used by those Semu people as fodder to feed the horses. Later, when the snow fell heavily, people had nothing to eat, so naturally everything went into their mouths? It's not a good thing..."
Seeing Li Xian's upside-down eyebrows, Min Wu hurriedly changed his words and said: "Yes, yes, and there is still a small half bag. If it wasn't for being extremely hungry, who would compete with the horse for food?"
After hearing this, Li Xian hurriedly asked his followers to find all the remaining beets.
Although Semuren didn't know why this Han "benefactor" wanted the horse feed, he still supported his body and helped him rummage in the few remaining bags, finding all the grass roots. Not many came out, only twenty or so roots, long and short, withered a few times, and finally a few of them had a little activity left, and they could still be planted and induced.
Li Xian couldn't help being overjoyed, making it hard to put away this treasure, and only then remembered to ask about the origins of this group of perverted people. If there is a way to trade with the Western Regions, maybe you can find all kinds of corn, potatoes, peppers, and pumpkins?
The leader of the Semu caravan was called Cyrus. He was originally suffering from mortal pneumonia, but he was miraculously cured by Li Shenshi. ) to persecute and expel believers, it is inevitable that they will waver for a while.
God!This must be the test you gave me. Once your messenger becomes ten thousand, ten thousand is one. You know that your believers have traveled thousands of miles just to escape abuse and persecution. Does the messenger shine on the earth and walk on it?
Li Xian didn't know what the blue eyes of that curly beard were crying and praying for a while, but seeing the face of this curly beard go through thousands of mountains and rivers, go through thousands of calamities, and finally see the appearance of a true god, the face of Mr. Li A sacred and benevolent bewildering smile is habitually exuded on the face——and fooling around again.
In fact, Cyrus and the others cannot be regarded as a real caravan. At this time, the Persian wars were endless, and the cruel Sasanian king killed countless believers and civilians who dared to resist and refused to convert. The Persians left one after another and went to foreign countries along the former trade routes.Cyrus and his companions chose to go east, detoured all the way from the Turkic territory, and came to the splendid civilization of China.
It was only when they came to the east that they realized that this was not a peaceful paradise. The brutal Turkic people were invading the country of Han people in China, so they had to take a detour to the safer Dayan land.The long journey made them exhausted, and there was not much cargo left in the huge caravan. Fortunately, there were still sweet roots.
The grass roots valued by the gods are called sweet roots in their hometown. The reason why they carry this thing with them is because this kind of root is rich in sweetness. Mixing this sweet root with the concentrate, horses love it very much. Eating it can also make the livestock grow stronger and produce more body fluid. It is quite a good concentrate feed.
I never thought that the messenger of the true God also loves sweet roots!oh!Almighty Ahura, please forgive the disrespect of your devotees.
The envoy was magnanimous and generous, he saved the lives of all the people in the caravan, but only received half a bag of sweet roots as a reward, which made Cyrus so excited that he wanted to hug the envoy's thigh and kiss his feet.It's just that the guard general in black armor next to the envoy is too terrifying. Cyrus has animal instincts. If he dares to hug the envoy, he always feels that the end will not be too good.
As for the corn, potato, pepper, and pumpkin that the envoy asked about, looking at the sketch drawn by the envoy in a hurry, several Persians asked each other and discussed it for a long time, but they couldn't figure it out, so they shook their heads regretfully. heard.
On the contrary, Cyrus touched his chin, as if he remembered something, but his Chinese was really not good enough to express, so he stammered a few words, and the envoy said kindly, "Speak the language of your hometown, I can understand everything. People speak.
【Tsk tsk!Ah Xian, now you [wow——] are really pretending to be more and more fresh and refined, and you are out of the ordinary.You pretend to be familiar, we are familiar with each other, and the price of simultaneous translation is not discounted. 】
Cheesy!
Li Shenshi quietly rolled his eyes, now that his purse is full, he no longer cares about such a small amount of money.
"...the red fruit, the pointed ones have never been seen before, but the round ones are there. We call them chamaejasma fruit. I once sold several pots of rare chamaejasma fruit to the nobles of the Chen country, and no one dared to give it away. Taste this fruit, I wonder if it is the 'pepper' that God envoys you want?"
Listening to Cyrus' description, Li Shenshi drew a pot of fruit with a few strokes, and the masters in the live broadcast room said in unison: [Tomato! ][tomato! ]
Although I only found out the whereabouts of a precious plant, Mr. Li who already has a "beet" in his hand is already satisfied. It is better to have a bird in hand than a hundred birds in the forest. Having this beet is an unexpected joy, and the rest is mine. Fortunately, it's not my life, it depends on God's mood.
I made an appointment with Cyrus and the others to help Master Li find the "Wolf Poison Fruit" and inquire about the other kinds of melons and fruits, and invited a Persian caravan to set up a shop in Chihe. A lost and recovered dog friend, a few beets, and ten horses enshrined by the Kunta Ministry finally embarked on the way back to Diqiu.
Thinking of planting a piece of beet in the future and harvesting countless sweets, Mr. Li's mouth unknowingly had suspicious water stains.
"Aheng, if the beets can be successfully grown, your honey beef jerky will be available, si—"
The school officer Zhong was dressed in black armor, dignified and dignified, he guarded Mr. Li without turning his eyes, and said in a low voice: "It is said that it was done for me, but I don't know where it came from to steal the mouse, and everything in the middle of the night. The beef jerky made by Xian is eaten clean, and the corners of the bedside and mouth are covered with meat scum, but the taste is not bad."
He glanced sideways at Mr. Li's lower abdomen, and sighed softly: "The belly is reborn, it feels very smooth and tender!"
Mr. Li had quick eyesight, and very skillfully turned off the live broadcast room in the room where people were laughing, peeping into people's privacy, it was really not an act of a gentleman, and he didn't expect much from these bastards.
Back in Diqiu, Min Wuzi looked at everything new and was amazed. He never imagined that when the vicious dogs of Kyoto were released from the capital, they would be able to lay down a large piece of land with bare hands. It was unbelievable and amazed.Perhaps, as my sister said, stepping out, there is another world.
The "uncle" Min Wu followed Ah Xian to pay a visit to another uncle of the Zheng family, but he couldn't bear it any longer. No matter how difficult it is to restrain.
Li Xian asked Silu to take Min Wuzi to arrange a rest, happily pulled Diqiu's uncle back, and babbled about the adventures and anecdotes of these days.Hearing him recount the anecdotes and anecdotes of Cyrus and the others thousands of miles away in other countries, and talk about all the turbulent waves on the Gehele grassland, not to mention the two cousins who listened to it with gusto, wishing to see it in person, even Zheng Jin couldn't help it And sigh, feeling that the world is so big, I regret not being able to travel to foreign countries and enjoy the beauty of the world and the customs of various places.
"... Uncle, do you think these sex businessmen come to Dayan to enjoy the scenery and make money? It's just a bereaved dog who was forced to leave his hometown. It's better to be a dog of peace than to be a person in troubled times. Now wars are raging and the world is not peaceful. It’s all just talking and listening, but if you really travel thousands of miles, it will be dangerous and difficult!”
Zheng Jin was silent for a while, then sighed softly, Ah Chou has really grown up.
Originally, I was worried that my uncle, who is quite a free and easy celebrity character, would be a little depressed when he poured cold water on his head, and I was a little regretful that I shouldn't be disappointed. Hearing uncle's boast, Li Xian suddenly grinned until his ears reached his feet. .
Naturally, the sugar beet that was so easy to get can't be delayed. After Li Xian and his uncle talked about the joy of reunion, they hurriedly called to be in charge of Nong Sangsi's painting, and told her to make preparations for the guide.
After waiting for a while, I saw a woman in Tsing Yi wrapped her head in a green cloth scarf, Tingting approached gracefully, gave a salute to Lord Li, then raised her head and smiled with her face on her back, all the makeup and hairpins were gone, just like a flower puffing on the tree. , The gray moth.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
She showed her white teeth slightly, and smiled reservedly and virtuously, but Mr. Li trembled in fright, and almost stuttered: "Ruhua, you, what the hell are you doing?"
