Chapter 2469: Habit Formation Goal Achieved
At nine o'clock in the morning, Gebubdo Degob and his group, who had just woken up, were still in a state of confusion.
Yesterday, their important figures rested on the yacht, and were invited to a banquet in the hall. By the way, they watched the video of Li Yi lecturing on the big screen in the hall, as well as the video of Li Yi lecturing on the beach.
Katoji watched and talked about what happened next in the beach video, indirectly proving the authenticity of the video.
Until everyone was sleepy, Li Yi arranged to go to the guest room to rest, and the modern equipment inside once again shocked the group of people.
Under the effect of the special calming incense, they slept very soundly.
Because they slept well, they woke up late and learned to use the washing tools on the yacht again.
One by one, they felt refreshed. They washed their hair after taking a bath yesterday, and washed again today. They felt comfortable and left a fragrance on their bodies.
They tossed until ten o'clock and started to eat...the first meal.
Li Yi didn't eat breakfast either. He cooked for the other party.
We ate skewers last night, and we have to cook today. The other party doesn't know how to use chopsticks and knives and forks, so they grab food with their hands...
The food should be easy to grab with hands. I feel that boiled pork slices are not suitable, and sweet potatoes with candied potatoes are not suitable.
In addition, according to the eating habits of local people in later history, they should like to eat spicy food, chili powder and other things, that is, spicy curry.
There are also trees in the local area, and the leaves are used to make curry.
There are no chili peppers, which Li Yi thinks is good. He plans to give the other party more chili peppers and eat them slowly, and then he can sell chili powder in the future.
I took a lot of gold that they probably accumulated, so I must strengthen trade exchanges and can't take it for nothing.

A lot of dishes were laid out, Li Yi made noodles in advance, steamed scrolls, it tastes better to dip them in the soup in the plate, otherwise just mix the rice with the soup.
The local rice is not delicious, not as good as the new variety of indica rice planted in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Gen's fleet contributed some food materials, they brought air-dried chicken, ham, preserved eggs, various beans...
Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan followed to eat, the two of them would eat with their hands, and they were very standard.
Katoji, who had eaten chili noodles for the first time, opened and squinted his eyes, moved his lips, and kept swallowing saliva. Finally, he couldn't help but open his mouth and stick out his tongue.
"Drink coconut juice." Li Yi pointed to the cup next to him, which was filled with coconut juice and local coconuts.
Katoji took it and gulped it down. He felt better, savored it carefully, and reached out to grab it again.
Others did the same. They felt spicy the first time they ate it, but then they found that it tasted good. They liked this kind of spiciness and it was addictive.
Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan didn't eat it. They ate non-spicy dishes, let alone chili noodles.
Li Yi ate a few bites with them. He didn't want to eat so many spicy things when it was almost noon.
It was almost 30 degrees outside the yacht now, and it would definitely exceed it in a while.
King Gebubdo Degob didn't care. Eating, such a good thing, probably only Buddha has it, it's very precious.
While eating, Li Yi stopped him. He didn't dare let him eat more. It was the first time he ate it, and he had no experience. If he died after eating, who would he communicate with in the future?
He told the other party that there was still some, and he would give it to him when he left, so he should eat less when he returned.
The king and a group of ministers became happy, and reluctantly ate other things, without mixing the chili powder.
After the first meal, Li Yi started to make tea. The Sinhalese people did not drink tea at the moment.
According to the records, it was only after the colonial rule of other countries that it began.
And the tea drinking in that country was passed on from the dynasties after the Tang Dynasty.
The source of the tea culture of the whole world is in China. Before, tea was only drunk by the nobles, and later people grew it themselves.
Historically, the tea of Sinhalese was grown by others, and then they also learned it, and also produced a world-famous tea, black tea.
The country that sold to Li Yi, Li Yi's country had no shortage of tea at all, but had to drink other people's tea.
Now Li Yi plans to teach the other party to drink tea, and in the future, sell tea, first drink green tea, and Zhuangzi knows the production process of green tea, and make money by himself.
Merchants can buy from Li's manor and sell it to other places.
Of course, merchants also sell other teas. Drinking tea on the sea when going out to sea can prevent some diseases.
In places where meat is eaten, fermented tea is actually better than green tea.
The tea is brewed very strong, bitter and astringent, and others will accept it after drinking it. Anyway, no matter what tea Li Yi gives them, they will think it is good.
"Too bitter." Princess Yongmu took a sip and stopped drinking.
"Bitter is good, bitter is a waste of tea leaves. Think about it, if we brew it like we do, how much can we drink in a day? This time we brewed all the tea for a day."
Li Yi explained the benefits of teaching others to drink strong tea from another aspect. The more they drink, the more money Datang makes.
Moreover, when the locals learn to drink tea, it is strong tea, so strong that they eat candy while drinking tea.
"When our country comes here, the ships are too large and it is inconvenient to dock. We want to find a place to build a dock so that large ships can dock and no longer use small boats for transportation."
While drinking tea, Li Yi talked about business. He wanted a site to meet the dock, a large area, and the army to be stationed.
King Gebubdo Degob agreed without saying a word: "You can give it to you wherever you like and as big as you need."
"In addition, we want these worthless stones to pave the road. Whenever His Majesty the Tang Dynasty walks on this road, he will think of the friendship between the two countries."
Li Yi mentioned stones again, and this time he asked for more. In the future, whenever the locals found sapphires with wrong colors when digging, they would take them all away.
When the king heard that he wanted this broken thing, he continued to agree: "Our people usually throw it on the roadside. I asked them to collect it, and the Tang Dynasty ships will transport it away when they come."
"You can't ask for it for free. We exchange it with things. We also worked hard when digging, and we should get rewards for our labor.
Stones of different sizes and colors have different prices. Big ones give more money. I will let people divide the specific ones.
Five stones as big as this should be exchanged for a box of matches."
Li Yi asked the other party to look at the nail of his little finger. He was ready to give five such big stones for a box of matches.
The king looked at Li Yi with a different look. He was a good man, no, a good Buddha! This was clearly giving money to his people.
However, when he thought about the clothes worn by the people of the Tang Dynasty in the video he saw yesterday, he thought that the Tang Dynasty was rich and could afford it, so he was not afraid of being cheated. How could Buddha cheat people?
"Now we want to leave some people here to help the locals who still need guidance. We will leave 200 people. I hope the king can make it convenient."
Li Yi wanted to station troops here and let the army collect information here and build good relations with the locals.
When Gebubuduo Degobo heard that there were 200 people, he was not worried that the other side would attack his palace, and he knew that the people of the Tang Dynasty knew a lot.
He happily agreed again: "You can leave more people. Tell me if there is anything you need to do, and I will leave people here to help."
