Wen Yuanjie walked in front, like a guide, leading Wen Jin to visit the goods being moved from the ship.
"Look, those boxes are the rubies and sapphires we exchanged for porcelain, as well as the specialty tea there, various crops, and some plant seedlings.
"There are gold, fine gold, finely crafted colorful silk threads, cowhide and sheepskin..."
"What is this tree called? They say the fruit of this tree can produce oil. What is it called?"
Wen Yuanjie scratched his head and thought hard.
Wen Jin raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, "Coconut or olive?"
"That's right! Olives! Olive oil!"
After Wen Yuanjie finished speaking, he looked at Wen Jin with wide-eyed surprise, "How did the empress know?"
Wen Jin opened her mouth, but she hadn't thought of an excuse yet.
Wen Yuanjie slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, my sister-in-law wrote to tell you in advance, right?"
Wen Jin smiled and did not deny it.
"Then did she tell you that she exchanged a box of stones with the royal family over there for a very high price? The large and small stones are far less beautiful than our jade!"
Wen Yuanjie got a little angry when he said this.
"But the price demanded by the royal family is extremely high! I tried to persuade her for a long time, but I couldn't persuade her. What good is the stone?
"Should I say it's pretty? It's not pretty either, it's transparent, like ice.
"And it is very hard and difficult to carve and polish. It is not as delicate and moist as white jade, and not as bright and bright as jadeite..."
Before Wen Yuanjie finished complaining, Master Que came quickly with a small box in his arms.
"Mother, look what I got for you?"
Listening to Wen Yuanjie's description, Wen Jin's mind was already slightly moved... It couldn't be what she guessed, right?
"Hey, what else could it be? It's just a box of broken stones. It doesn't look good, and it's hard to polish and carve! Just treat it like a treasure!"
Wen Yuanjie mocked from the side.
Master Que was not polite at all to his future brother-in-law.
She held the heavy box with one hand, and slapped Wen Yuanjie on the back of the head with the other hand, "Shut up!"
"Have a look, ma'am, do you still like it?"
"This is the exclusive gemstone of the royal family of Nawunan Kingdom. It is very hard in texture. It has been carefully polished and carved by skilled craftsmen. It is very translucent.
"It can emit colorful light, like a dream!"
A look of reverence and yearning appeared on Mr. Que's face like a girl.
Wen Jin suddenly felt that... most girls probably like shiny things by nature.
Wen Jin opened the box and was immediately dazzled by the colorful sunlight reflected by the stones in the box.
"Diamond..." Wen Jin marveled.
Such a big box of diamonds! Pure natural diamond.
Some of them look like they're twenty or thirty carats, right?
Wen Jin secretly took a breath of air.
Master Que looked at Wen Jin in astonishment, "Yes! Why didn't I think of that? Their pronunciation is different from ours. I never understood how to translate the name of their stone!
"Diamond, what a good name! This stone is very hard. It is difficult to polish and carve it with any gold or stone."
Wen Jin nodded, "Among natural minerals, diamond is the hardest in texture. It can be exposed and weathered first, and the impurities on it will fall off due to weathering.
"If you want to carve it more carefully, you must use diamond to sharpen it. Other gold and stones cannot be polished or carved because they are not as hard as it."
Master Que and Wen Yuanjie both looked at Wen Jin suspiciously.
They didn't understand... She obviously didn't go on the voyage with the fleet, so how could she know better than them?
They don't understand the language with people outside.
The communication along the way was all based on gestures and guessing...
Only Mr. Que, who is particularly gifted in languages and has extraordinary understanding ability, has learned many languages of foreigners.
The communication and translation along the way all depended on Mr. Que and the women who were traveling with him.
Wen Jin smiled slightly, "After diamonds are carved and polished, they also have a name called 'diamond'.
“It is the hardest substance formed under natural conditions. After time of cutting and polishing, its transparency and beauty are unmatched by other gemstones.
"It can refract the sun's rays and reflect brilliant colorful lights."
Wen Jin picked up a rough diamond from the box.
She immediately felt the tremor in the space.
It was a strong resonance of energy.
Wen Jin couldn't help but stare... That's right! Space energy!
When the fine jade in the past is placed in the space, the space can transform the energy in the natural jade into purer energy in the space.
Complete the flow and transformation of energy.
Natural diamonds are composed of a single element of carbon, and pure diamonds are transparent and colorless.
Diamonds with different trace elements will show different colors.
Wen Jin looked at the box of diamonds given to her by Master Que. Most of the rough diamonds were colorless and transparent.
There are also a few natural pink diamonds, and even two small blue diamonds.
If this is placed in modern times, its value is inestimable.
"I like this gift from Mr. Que very much! Thank you very much, you're welcome!" Wen Jin smiled and closed the box.
"You're welcome! I'm happier than you if you like it! This brat has been nagging me all the time! He said I can't get rid of this thing!"
As Master Que said, he wanted to kick Wen Yuanjie in the face.
Wen Yuanjie dodged it and said, "Mother, do you really like her? Are you being polite to her?"
Wen Jin smiled slightly, "I like it very, very much!"
Not to mention the beauty of diamonds, it was impossible for her not to like them simply because of the energy vibration in the space!
"Hey! If I had known I would have exchanged this with them! It's a pity that I only exchanged for some food..."
Wen Yuanjie scratched his head, "It's quite delicious. I'll sort it out later and bring it to the palace for you to try."
Everyone was busy loading and unloading cargo from the three large cargo ships.
There are quite a few rare things.
Wen Jin saw rows of dying saplings.
"What kind of tree is this?"
"What do they mean by 'golden pear wood'? That should be the translation, right? The wood is somewhat similar to our rosewood, but its color is golden yellow and oily. It is very beautiful and its color is like gold!" said Mr. Que.
Wen Jin's eyes lit up, "Southern rosewood."
"That's a good name!" said Mr. Que, "and these are cedar trees, which are also rare species over there. I wanted to bring them back to try some. Unexpectedly, after long-distance transportation, it seems that the planting will not survive. "
Wen Jin is not worried about the survival of this thing.
She firmly believes that there is no space where plants cannot live.
"Send it to the palace and I'll try everything." Wen Jin said.
"Yes... there are some olive saplings over there. The fruits on the trees can produce oil, and it is the oil specially used for the royal family over there. Have you heard of it?" Master Que introduced excitedly.
Wen Jin smiled and said nothing... Olive oil is a favorite among fitness people.
While everyone is busy...
Wen Jin put the box of diamonds given to her by Master Que into the space.
Space can purify impurities in jade, and I believe that impurities on rough diamonds can also be cleaned.
Wen Jin secretly sighed, as expected, "women understand women better."
Just after the thought passed, there was a sudden "boom--" a loud noise.
Like a huge thunderclap.
Everyone felt that even the ground under their feet and the sea around them were shaking violently with this loud noise!
The ground... was there an earthquake?
