If you drink beer and enjoy the sweet and slightly smoky feeling, drinking the oriental wine just now gives you a warm and luscious feeling, and now drinking this strange water, you feel refreshed and comfortable. In summer, after taking this bite, King Gudiya felt that his mental state had reached its peak!
King Gudea took a bite of the hot and fragrant barbecued meat and grilled fish...and then took a sip of soda. The special cold and bubbly taste suddenly exploded on the tip of his tongue, and the cool liquid disintegrated all the cloying aromas along his throat. !
His eyes widened. Compared with the delicate and long-lasting Eastern wine, the taste of the new liquid in front of him can only be described as explosive and surprising!
Wine should be drunk warm, but this new liquid needs to be drunk cold to be full of flavor!
The two heavens of ice and fire bring two completely different experiences to King Gudea. This new liquid is suitable for summer, and it should be very delicious even without refrigeration. And the wine is suitable for drinking in winter, compared with local beer Speaking of which, the two are more amazing, and the production process is obviously much more advanced than the local beer.
Of course, although Sumerian beer is primitive, the manufacturing process is relatively complicated. As for the mysterious formula, the brewing shop in Lagash City has its own ancestral technology.
But compared to these two drinks, it is still inferior.
Gudiya asked for these two drinks, and hoped that Yuzai could teach him how to make these two things. Gudiya could sense the business opportunities, and these two drinks would definitely earn him enough barley. and silver.
At worst, the accounts will be divided into 30 and 70 by then?
In contrast, Gudiya is also willing to quietly tell Yuzai the local Lagash's mysterious beer recipe. Don't tell anyone else. I will only tell you.
The brewery owner keeps the recipe for Lagash as secret as the secret recipe for the Krabby Patty.
King Gudea's dancing behavior at this time was indeed a bit funny, but the conversation was about major economic issues related to Lagash in the future.
The Sumerian region is in the dark age. Of course, these drinks will not be sold to other city-states. After all, other city-states do not have so much silver to buy such luxury goods at a time, so only long-distance trade can earn the price difference. Gesh is a city-state that has restored trade early, so these drinks have to be sold to the Dilmon people in the southwest. These people will give a lot of barley and gold, and they will act as second-tier dealers to sell these drinks to people further west. .
That land didn't produce much silver, but it had a lot of gold. In Sumer, although gold was not as valuable as silver, it was still hard currency, so it was considered to be of moderate value.
Especially when asked about the shelf life, the shelf life of ancient beer was very short. King Gudea drew a diagram of corruption, and Yu Zai told him that Eastern wine has no shelf life, and the longer it is stored, the better.
This made King Gudiya's eyes shine with golden light.
Things that have no shelf life will become more fragrant as time goes by, saving maintenance costs on the road, which means that this kind of thing can be sold further and earn more profits.
Yu Zai saw what King Gudiya meant and politely refused. At the same time, he made a request and drew a circle with his hand on a certain area on the map.
"fortification?"
King Gudea understood what the other party meant and wanted to build a city within the circle.
The other party wants to use these two drinks as the foundation capital of this city-state.
King Gudea understood it, and he thought, then at least Lagash can get the right to sell these drinks. After all, Lagash City has a large area under its jurisdiction and has a huge power. The two sides can exchange their needs. , get rich together.
But at the same time, he was also very confused.
The east is extremely far away from here, but the king of the east said that he would build a city here. Obviously they only have one city on the land of Daxia, and the other places should be ordinary villages and tribes.
The land labeled "Bactria" is also very far away from here. So, when the logistics supply is not smooth, it can even be said to be almost non-existent, a city is built in the Mesopotamia Plain?
Is this equivalent to giving the local people a city for free?
A city without its own culture and people as its backing has no way to participate in the struggles of all nations in the current dark age. This city will soon be conquered. When it has endless wealth but no strong strength as a protective umbrella, it will be like a lion. A lone goat stands out among the crowd.
Gudiya laughed. He really couldn't understand why Yu Zai wanted to build a city-state on this land thousands of miles away.
Wealth cannot flow back to the East, and the other side does not need food and beer. Gudea just wants to get the means and methods to revive the ancient Sumerian dynasty from the king of the East in front of him. He wants to learn the other side's culture, technology, and System and a series of important things, I never thought that the other party would actually stay here permanently.
Yuzai uttered the syllables and pointed at the city:
"Tianfang."
"Tianfang?"
King Gudea repeated this syllable and remembered the name of the city.
No matter what, it seems that the other party has an obvious intention to build a city-state on this land, and that area is north of Lagash and is on the important front line of the war with the Akkadians and Kuti people. King Gudea A friendly reminder that it was not a good place to build a city.
Although I also hope that this city can become a solid barrier for Lagash, it would be bad if the King of the East thinks that the Akkadian barbarians are more compatible with him.
Moreover, as a just shepherd, the great man and king of Lagash, King Gudea was not afraid of the Akkadian attack. He had always withstood the Akkadian attack in this way. The destruction of Lagash for the first time gave the new city-state built on the ruins a higher reputation and attracted countless people to settle there.
"Well, okay, I will try my best to help you build a city-state here. The clay platform requires a lot of manpower to pile up. I will let my craftsmen drive the boats and go upstream along the Tigris River."
King Gudiya and Yuzai began to learn each other's languages, starting with the simplest characters and using gestures to communicate and proofread.
Translation between different languages happens like this: A is one language, B is another language. A person who speaks language A and a person who speaks language B come into contact for some reason, and the two slowly begin to understand the sounds/forms/meanings of the other person's language.
Both parties are people with great wisdom, not to mention that Yuzai is also a human god. Although the other party as a king cannot pray to himself, after systematically communicating with King Gudiya, he finally reached the point where he could. The level of coming oracles.
People can understand each other after all, so when the first familiar syllable rang in King Gudea's heart, he was shocked by the understanding and learning ability of the King of the East, and was even more certain that the other party was a priest. A more noble person.
