Chapter 2481: New Exchange of Items
"Turn, fish, extract seawater, and make refined salt."
Li Yi also came to Socotra Island during the Tang Dynasty for the first time. He saw the exchange process.
Li Longji also saw it there, synchronously, without delay, this is the most amazing.
The yacht adjusted its direction to fish. Locals often use fish as their staple food.
The people who were temporarily resting in the Luoyang village and the officials watched the local situation on the big screen together, especially the various things they had never seen on the island.
More drones took off, shooting from different angles, providing a lot of materials, which will be recorded.
Li Longji gave an order, and the Tang fleet set off and rushed over there...
Li Yi sent a message to the fleet docked in Tianzhu, asking them to come over and temporarily replace some people, and wait for the team behind to come before leaving.
The team received the order and ran here helplessly against the southwest monsoon.
The yacht turned to fish, and nets of fish were caught. Everyone immediately processed the internal organs, fish heads, and fish tails, just the part with the most meat in the middle.
The Tianzhu people on several small boats found the yacht. There were a total of twelve people, four people in a small boat, and they took turns rowing.
The natives also saw the big boat fishing near the coast. They looked at the small boat, but they knew that the farther away, the smaller the things were.
An hour later, the fishing operation ended and the yacht approached the shore. There was no port or dock here.
The three small boats of the Indians were towed directly to the shore, otherwise they would be washed away by the sea.
The yacht turned on the sonar to see the situation below, and the small robot jumped down to observe.
As the people on the shore were stunned, the yacht stopped 50 meters away from the shore and dropped anchor.
The boat put down ten speedboats, loaded with fish and began to rush to the shore. The distance of 50 meters was reached in the blink of an eye.
The eyes of the Indians became bigger again. This boat is fast, why doesn't it need people to row?
When the speedboat reached the shore, the people on it threw fish down and waved to the natives to come over.
After a few gestures, the natives understood and ran over to help throw the fish.
After throwing all the fish on a speedboat, the speedboat went back to get it once.
After five times, a large pile of fish was piled on the beach, and the natives were busy scattering and placing them to dry quickly.
Before the sixth visit, the speedboat was cleaned first, and the smell was too strong.
Li Yi and others went ashore, and the natives looked at the clothes Li Yi and others were wearing, and then looked at their own bodies, with envy in their eyes.
A thousand kilograms of refined salt in a cloth bag was placed in front of the natives, and a person who should be the leader came to communicate with Li Yi in Arabic and Tianzhu.
Li Yi knew both languages, but he was very sorry, why not the Tang language? I will teach you to speak the Tang language and write the Tang characters in the future.
Li Yi: "We are from the Tang Dynasty, we need to replenish fresh water and exchange some things. We can treat illnesses. If any of you are not feeling well, you can bring them here."
When they heard Li Yi say to exchange things, the other party immediately brought frankincense and myrrh to Li Yi, and then showed Li Yi the juice of the dragon blood tree on their upper bodies.
In addition, there were large civets caught alive, in wooden cages, which the Tianzhu people wanted to exchange, the one-to-one kind.
Frankincense and myrrh are not the same as seen from the drone. They are exchanged for civet cats and branches of dragon blood trees. The price of dragon blood is calculated separately.
"What do you want? Do you want to exchange it for the fish you gave?" The leader pointed to the many fish waiting to be dried.
Li Yi shook his head: "The fish are for you. I have something else to exchange with you. Fabric for making clothes, do you want it?"
Li Yi pointed to his clothes, which were the official uniforms of the first rank. They were beautiful. He also wore a hat. He was afraid of sunburn. He shaved his scalp before, and now only a little has grown.
"How to exchange?" The leader forgot to thank him. He wanted silk.
"Five to one, five of what we want, in exchange for one of this cloth."
Li Yi gave a fair price. No matter how high the value of frankincense and myrrh is, the silk of our Tang Dynasty is also a hard currency.
Of course, what he exchanged for the other party was silk, not brocade.
"Exchange." When the leader heard the price, he felt that he had taken advantage of it. Then he remembered the fish given by the other party: "We will give you something."
As he said that, he opened a cloth bag to see what was inside.
After taking a look, he felt familiar, but was not sure. He pinched a little and put it in his mouth, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
He tasted it, it was indeed salt, why was it different from what he found on the island?
The salt they ate was natural. There were stones on the island, and some stones had concave places. They poured seawater into them, and when it was hot, they would become salt after drying.
They ate this kind of salt, which was not as good as the boiled salt before the Tang Dynasty, which was boiled with yellow mud and filtered.
Salt was bitter and astringent, and the salt made by Li Yi was salty, very pure salty, without iodine.
The leader turned around and shouted to his people, and everyone ran over, pinching a little salt and putting it in their mouths.
Then they started singing and dancing. They saw that so much salt could be eaten for a long time.
The Indians watched from the side and also came forward to take some salt to taste.
One of them communicated with Li Yi in Sanskrit: "Do you still have this kind of salt? We want to exchange it."
"Didn't you exchange it for something else? Can your ship hold it? Do you have anything else to exchange with us?"
Li Yi asked three questions in a row, do you think you are in your Tianzhu? Can you exchange it if you want?
"Can you go to our place to exchange it? I'll tell you the place. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net wants this kind of salt, as well as your Tang Dynasty silk and tea."
The people of Tianzhu obviously know a little bit about the Tang Dynasty and know what is good about the Tang Dynasty.
When people on Socotra Island saw Tang people for the first time, they only knew that their boats were big, their clothes were nice, and they were friendly.
Anyone traveling on such a large ship must have powerful men and weapons.
"Okay, write down your place and your name."
Li Yi turned around and pulled Ling Sansan in front of him, writing Sanskrit instructively on its screen, touching the screen to write.
The Tianzhu man looked at the little robot and then at Li Yi: "Does it need to be changed?"
"You just changed it. You said it as if you can afford it and can afford it."
The little robot 033 is angry, what do you dare to have from me?
The other party was shocked. Can he speak? I can't afford to replace this. Are there very young people here?
He wrote his address and name with trembling fingers. People of the first caste have great rights.
It seems that he took these spices back and used them in his missionary work.
"I will arrange for people to go over and see the situation, and they will negotiate the price with you there."
Li Yi agreed, since he wasn't going anyway and he didn't have time.
It's almost time for dinner in the Tang Dynasty. Li Yi wants to have lunch. Tianzhu and the natives on the island have no intention of eating.
"Shall we eat grilled seafood? Use a solar stove?" Li Yi asked Princess Yongmu.
"It's too hot. I don't want to eat grilled things. Why don't we eat... spicy hot pot?"
Princess Yongmu suggested, Xiaolan nodded repeatedly, this is fine.
"Isn't it hot when you eat the spicy hot pot? Okay! I'll cook it with seafood back on the ship and invite them to eat it together. If they want to change it to chili pepper, I'll change it to them in the future."
Li Yi didn't think about whether it was hot or not, he just ate whatever he wanted.
