Seeing that this skin bag was bulging, as soon as it was placed on the table, a few gems filled with it spilled out. The gems were crystal clear, looked very beautiful, and also had a certain degree of hardness.
Murong Fu had no money to buy jewelry such as diamonds in his previous life, so he naturally couldn't tell the composition of these gems, but since it was said that they were obtained from Persia, they must not be fakes.
Thinking of the debt he owed to his confidante, he could only try his best to make up for them materially.
Murong Fu glanced at Li Qingzhao next to him and saw that her eyes were filled with brilliance and she seemed to be very interested in these gems. He couldn't help but smile knowingly and generously let her choose a few. ?.?????.???
Naturally, Li Qingzhao would not be polite to Murong Fu. Of course, he did not forget the sisters in Longcheng. He only selected a few smaller ones and planned to make them into earrings or hairpins.
Murong Fu collected all the rest and then talked about another thing.
"Ba, you have contacts with overseas countries, so you must be proficient in their languages, right?"
Basel said: "That's natural. I have been sailing with my father since I was seven years old. I am proficient in various languages. There is almost nothing I can't do."
Murong Fu smiled and said: "It's just right. I plan to send a few of my subordinates to follow you on the sea voyage. I hope you can teach them the languages of various countries. Of course, I am not trying to steal your business, but I hope to set up a business in my territory. If there is a language barrier in overseas trading ports, it will be very troublesome to do many things."
After hearing Murong Fu's words, Basel just hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
After all, when he and his father first arrived in China, Murong Fu had given them a lot of conveniences, and they had a deep friendship with each other. Naturally, he couldn't refuse this request.
After reaching an agreement, Basel took Murong Fu and two of them to visit his ship. The cabin was full of specialties they had traded from various countries, including various gold and silver jewelry, rare animals, and some unknown animals. Plants, spices, silk, animal skins, etc.
Basel said very generously that if the two of them liked something, as long as he had any leftovers, he could make the decision and give it to them. Of course, some cherished items would need to be traded.
After all, Murong Fu was born in an era of advanced information in his previous life. Although he had not seen some things with his own eyes, he had learned about them through information channels.
If those gems could not be used to please a group of beauties, as a grown man, he would not like these sparkling things.
So after walking around for a while, except for Li Qingzhao who chose some strange accessories, Murong Fu did not embarrass Basel and just followed him around for a few rounds.
However, some of the special plants they brought interested Murong Fu. However, due to the geographical environment, he could not grow them in Central China, so he had to give up.
Just when Murong Fu was a little uninterested and was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a potted plant with vines in the corner.
"This is……"
Murong Fu's expression changed slightly and he hurriedly knelt down to check. He even broke off some stems and leaves from the potted plant and crushed it in his hands, smelling the smell.
When Basel saw this, he was surprised and said: "This is a kind of crop I brought back from the Huayun Zone. It is said that it is very easy to survive and has extremely high yield, so I brought a few plants back to study it. Have you seen it, Murong?"
Logically speaking, Murong Fu should not know about this kind of plant that does not exist in the Middle Earth. Why did he see him looking very excited? This made Basel a little surprised.
Murong Fu was indeed very excited at this moment, so much so that when he looked at the green vines in front of him, he could not calm down for a long time.
"It's actually a vine!"
Murong Fu also confirmed it repeatedly for a long time before he could believe that he was right.
"Ba, how much of this ivy do you still have? Can you give me half of it?"
Murong Fu quickly said to Basel.
Basel said: "You actually recognize this thing? But this is not a precious thing. It is everywhere in Huayun Land. I brought back more than twenty pots in total. If you want, just leave five pots for me. Okay, you take the rest."
He said very magnanimously.
Murong Fu didn't want to take advantage of him anymore, so he immediately ordered someone to get 500 pieces of fine celadon and gave them to him, all as a return gift!
As for the fine porcelain of the Song Dynasty, it was a handicraft that Western countries could not reproduce in their lifetime. Therefore, when they came to China for trade, they would use the items on their hands to exchange for a large amount of porcelain and bring it back to the country. The price is also very expensive.
Therefore, these five hundred pieces of celadon were only exchanged for a dozen ivy plants. Even if there was a friendship, Basel really couldn't refuse, so he agreed immediately.
Still thinking that the other party had suffered a loss, he pulled Murong to select some precious items from the merchant ship, and then he felt a little more balanced.
Murong Fu, on the other hand, brought all these vines back to Dragon City and asked A'Zhu to plant them.
Now he has potatoes. If these can be widely grown, Murong Fu will be able to turn Dayan into a major agricultural country in the future.
After spending most of the day wandering around the treasure ship in Basel and seeing many dazzling treasures, Murong Fu and Li Qingzhao returned to the inn to rest.
In the wing room.
Li Qingzhao gently and considerately helped Murong Fu take off his coat, and asked curiously: "What are those ivy? I haven't seen you acting like this for a long time!"
Just now there were outsiders present, and it was not easy for her to ask questions. Now that the door was closed and it was just the couple, the doubts in her heart were no longer hidden.
Murong Fu stretched out his hand to pull Li Qingzhao into his arms and sat down. The beauty's pretty face blushed slightly. Except for the charming look in her eyes, she was not shy at all.
In front of outsiders, Li Qingzhao was a lonely and self-admired talented woman, a stunningly talented Kyoto talent. But in front of Murong Fu, she was a stunning beauty with a smoky look and flirtatious behavior. She never wanted to cling to her lover's arms to please her. Comforting lovesickness.
Within reach was Li Qingzhao's soft and delicate body. Murong Fu couldn't help but feel a little distraught, but in response to the beauty's doubts, he still said truthfully: "Do you still remember those potatoes I ordered people to plant on Peach Blossom Island?"
Li Qingzhao was slightly emotional, but after hearing Murong Fu's words, he immediately agreed: "Of course I remember, Sister A'Zhu's craftsmanship is really good, whether it's cooking, steaming or frying, she has a unique taste!"
As if thinking of how delicious it was, she couldn't help but pursed her lips.
Murong Fu smiled and said: "You know the output value of potatoes, and the green vine I brought from Laobana today is called sweet potato. Although they belong to different families, they are both very high-yielding. If they can be planted in a large area, , will definitely be able to satisfy the food and clothing problems of a large number of people.”
"It also tastes very good and can be eaten raw."
Thinking of the taste of roasted sweet potatoes, Murong Fu did not expect that he could taste such delicious food during the Northern Song Dynasty.
