Lady of the Lord From the East

Chapter 150

The topic of the Song Dynasty embassy shifted to crops, but it took advantage of Wei Wei's intentions.

She also kept an eye on the various supplies brought by the embassies.

As early as the Song Dynasty mission disembarked from Slot, Felix asked the knights and stewards who were good at Latin to get close to the rest of the mission members who stayed on the coast guarding the fleet to find out what they brought on board. come over.

This is not difficult. A group of people who had been drifting at sea for almost a year were attracted by Sloth's food when they landed. Especially to entertain them, Wei Wei specially asked the serfs to make more vegetables and meat. It makes the mission members who have eaten seafood for a long time especially happy.

So those who came to inquire about the news also answered very generously. Originally, this fleet was out for business, and some commodities were naturally not secrets. They even specially asked someone to write a Latin text before entering the Mediterranean Sea. When the steward who accompanied the meal asked, someone handed them the list.

The steward who could write and read immediately copied the list, divided it into several parts, and released several carrier pigeons to Felix at the fastest speed.

The Song Dynasty embassies brought a lot of things, mainly porcelain, tea, silk, and other things that were popular in Europe. Before arriving at Sardinson, they had passed through nearly 20 countries and exchanged these things for back. Many local specialties have been introduced, and their products have been greatly enriched.

However, because of this, there were not many oriental specialties they brought on board, and the final destination of the original fleet was to pass through Prady and other Mediterranean coastal countries to go to Rome, Italy, and then to Rome, Italy. Return to Huaxia on the same route.

If it weren't for the fact that there was such a destination there, they had deliberately left some of the goods, or the remaining supplies on the ship would have been snapped up by those countries that were very fond of oriental specialties in the previous countries.

But with such a large fleet, even if the remaining supplies are not too much for them, it is already too much for Sardinson, and it is so large that they may not be able to eat all the goods.

Money is second, mainly buying it is useless. Wei Wei does not plan to be a second-order dealer. For her, the most attractive thing is not the best porcelain and silk sold by the mission, but tea and other commodities things.

This huge sea fleet not only carries a large amount of materials but also has a very comfortable environment and complete living facilities. In addition to sufficient food and water, they also raise pigs and grow vegetables on the sea. For medicinal herbs and even wine, it can be said that apart from not changing the sway of the ship, life is no different from living on land.

What Wei Wei was looking for was the medicinal herbs that the mission members used for self-sufficiency, as well as the bad tea that the mission sold along the way.

Yes, Chinese tea was not very popular at this time. The origin of tea came from China. It flourished in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty. People in the Tang Dynasty liked to cook tea, and people in the Song Dynasty liked to order tea, which is similar to that in the Japanese tea ceremony. A method of grinding tea leaves into powder.

Of course, because the traveling emperor liked to make tea, he specially ordered people to study the process of fried tea, so the tea leaves that the mission loaded on the boat were made of tea cakes made of fried tea leaves, which were more convenient for transportation and preservation than tea powder.
