Chapter 441 Thai Flavor
The Yaoguang stayed in the sleepless city of Punili for one night, and the people from Kyoto were so fascinated that they didn't want to leave.
For three days in a row, F4 kept nagging Lin Jiaojiao, asking if they could stay for two more days on the return journey.
Lin Jiaojiao neither agreed nor refused on the surface, but in her heart she didn't want to stay even for a day and just wanted to go back quickly.
Now the Yaoguang is docked at the Jinwan Port. Kong Xuan and others are looking at the scenery outside with disappointment in their eyes. It is really far from the City That Never Sleeps.
Lin Jiaojiao found that this place was much more prosperous than the last time she came. She also saw two ships of the Fu family. On the road, many dock girls were carrying oil barrels to the ships.
They were allowed to leave only after the captain and officials of Jinwan Port reported the matter.
This is their first stop, where they will stay for five days.
What she told the people at Sinong Temple were the seeds she found nearby.
So she decided to take them to the shore where she had drifted to, after all, she had sown a lot of seeds there.
By the way, I secretly bought a few baskets of durian and put them in my backpack, and took them back to eat with Yizhi. I don’t know if Jiang Huai and Ajiu are used to eating them? If they are used to eating them, the four of them can secretly eat them together.
It’s quite interesting to think about this scene.
"Lin Jiao?!!"
She heard a familiar exclamation and looked over. Coming towards her was Du Mingrui, who looked much darker and was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts.
"Sister Du!"
Du Mingrui looked at her in surprise. "It's really you. I saw a ship coming to the dock from the second floor. I also saw the person coming down from the deck looked familiar, so I thought of coming over to take a look. Hey! Why are you here?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at the people following Lin Jiaojiao. She didn't recognize any of them, so she looked at her curiously.
Lin Jiaojiao laughed awkwardly twice and pushed her forward.
"Haha, this is a long story. I heard from Sister Ling that you built an inn here. Come on, take us to have a look. And by the way, give us all some of your local clothes. I'm dying of heat."
"Hahaha, no problem. I'm just worried that you might not be used to it."
When Lin Jiaojiao changed into the clothes that Du Mingrui had someone buy for her, she felt relaxed.
She stood on the second floor of Furong Inn and looked at the busy scene at the dock. She picked up the cold coconut juice and took a sip. She sighed with comfort.
"Miss."
She heard Lan Yi's voice and turned around. Lan Yi had already finished washing up and changed into a short shirt and bell-bottom pants. She pulled her shirt uncomfortably.
"This shirt is a bit short."
She also followed her voice and looked at her exposed waist and abdomen, which made her unable to help but give her a thumbs up.
"Lan Yi, you have such a great figure, especially your abs!"
It was the first time that Lan Yi was praised by someone, which made her ears slightly red and her voice sounded a little shy.
"A slave is just an ordinary person."
"Don't underestimate yourself. If I say it's good, then it's good."
Lan Yi's drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, and she replied in a low voice: "Yes."
Lin Jiaojiao walked out of the room and ran into the F4 group. The four of them had already changed their clothes and all looked uncomfortable and restrained.
"Lord Lin, this dress has too little fabric. It's really uncomfortable to suddenly expose your arms and legs."
Lin Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Mr. Kong, we are wearing a lot of clothes here. Have you forgotten those women at the dock who only have sackcloth wrapped around their upper bodies?"
"Yeah, it's too hot here."
"I've read in a book before that there is no winter here, it's mostly summer, no wonder it's so hot."
"Ahem, it's a lot cooler to wear this way."
Seeing that they were more relaxed, Lin Jiaojiao did not stay any longer and went to the lobby on the first floor to find Du Mingrui.
Du Mingrui was chatting with the girl in front of him. The girl's face was full of excitement. Du Mingrui waved to Lin Jiaojiao as soon as he saw her coming down the stairs.
"Lin Jiao, come quickly."
Lin Jiaojiao walked over with a smile on her face, and the girl turned around and stared at her excitedly.
She was slightly stunned and felt that the bronze-skinned girl in front of her looked familiar. The image of children playing at the beach instantly appeared in her mind.
"Ana?"
"Sister!"
Lin Jiaojiao widened her eyes in surprise. The girl in front of her had grown a lot taller than she was a year and a half ago, and her face had grown a little more, so she was almost unrecognizable.
"Can you speak Chaoxi language now?"
Ana raised her hand excitedly and gestured, "A little bit."
Du Mingrui touched his chin and said proudly to Lin Jiaojiao.
"Am I a good teacher?"
Lin Jiaojiao sat directly opposite Du Mingrui and gave a thumbs up in affirmation.
"That's amazing, Sister Du, don't tell me you also know the language of Jin State?"
Du Mingrui laughed: "Hahaha, keep a low profile, I only studied for half a year."
At this time, the officials who had changed their clothes came to the hall, a total of seven civil servants and six guards, and the rest stayed on the boat.
Lin Jiaojiao turned and said to Zhao Ruiyi and the others.
"Translator Zhao, please follow them all the way. Keep a low profile and don't cause unnecessary trouble."
Xu Youning asked anxiously, "Master Lin, aren't you coming with us?"
"I won't go. I'll discuss with Sister Du about our plans for going to Yuxi Village tomorrow."
Xu Youning was a little reluctant to leave, but he was also very curious about everything outside, so he followed the group out to explore this new world.
Du Mingrui looked away and said jokingly, "Are these the officials you lead? Why do they all look like babies who have not been weaned?"
Lin Jiaojiao shook her head helplessly after hearing this. All the maids of F4 stayed on the boat. Without a maid to serve him, he should be regarded as a baby who had just been weaned, right?
"Let's not talk about them. I see that the Fu family has a fishing boat loading cargo. You won't follow it, will you?"
"I can't leave even if I want to. I have to wait until you leave before I leave."
After hearing this, she chuckled and said, "Thank you, Sister Du. We will wait for your arrangements tomorrow."
Du Mingrui said a few words to Ana, who looked at Lin Jiaojiao with shining eyes and then trotted out excitedly.
After seeing the person leave, Lin Jiaojiao asked curiously, "What did you just say to Ana?"
"I'll ask Ana to tell her mother not to rush back after unloading the cargo. We can go back together on the cargo ship tomorrow morning."
As the sky gradually darkened, Zhao Ruiyi also returned with his group.
Lin Jiaojiao looked at the things they brought back in surprise, as well as Kong Xuan's proud voice.
"Master Lin, these are the various seeds and fruits we bought along the way. We have tasted these fruits and found some of them are sweet and sour. When we are done eating them, save the cores and take them back to plant."
Lin Jiaojiao looked at the five largest seeds, feeling somewhat helpless.
Ana pointed at the durian core and said excitedly, "Sister, I have this at home! Lots and lots of it!"
She touched Ana's little head and said gently, "Okay, Ana will take Sister to pick them and eat them when the time comes."
"Uh-huh."
She didn't point it out, but instead gave them a thumbs up and praised them again.
F4 was immediately encouraged and suddenly felt that finding seeds was too easy. They suddenly felt that they had a bright future.
The other two agricultural officials were much calmer. They were commoners who had been admitted to the Sinong Temple based on their own strength. Every year, they handed in a huge number of seeds from the outside to the Sinong Temple, but only a few could be successfully planted, let alone widely planted and produced by Chaoqi.
"Okay, you're all hungry, let's go clean up and get ready for dinner."
Lin Jiaojiao watched them disperse and sat at the table waiting for the food to be served.
Earlier, Du Mingrui asked whether to eat asparagus or local dishes. She didn't care, but she thought that other people who came here for the first time must experience the local food.
But when a large winnowing basket was brought to her, she was dumbfounded.
Very Thai flavor.
The base was made of banana leaves, with a roasted chicken and three roasted fishes in the middle, a pile of prawns, and various vegetable leaves that she didn't recognize placed around it.
Of course, all these were not enough to shock her. What shocked her was the sliced tomato and small red peppers in the winnowing basket.
Her heart was beating wildly, and she pretended to be surprised, pointing at them and asking Du Mingrui next to her.
"Sister Du, aren't these two things the crops I brought back?"
Du Mingrui's family moved to Zhouzhou last year. As she was away from home most of the year, she only knew about the potatoes and corn grown by Lin Jiaojiao.
"What a coincidence? This is a unique food of Yuxi Village. This bowl of hot and sour dipping sauce is made with these two ingredients. It tastes so sour and refreshing when dipped in."
After hearing this, she immediately understood that the seeds she had sown in the forest had successfully sprouted, bloomed and borne fruit, and were then picked by the people of Yuxi Village and taken back to plant.
The others immediately became interested after hearing this. They already knew that the instant noodles they usually ate contained chili peppers in the seasoning packets, and they all looked at the small red chilies in the winnowing basket.
"How do you eat this?"
Du Mingrui also became interested when he heard it. Seeing that everyone was already seated at the table, he picked up his chopsticks and greeted them.
"Come here, I'll teach you how to eat it the most delicious way."
People at other tables stood up and gathered around.
"If you think the grilled chicken tastes bland, you can dip it in this dipping sauce. The fish can be eaten with these side dishes and it will taste great. As for the chili pepper, if you think it's not spicy enough, just take one and take a bite and it will be spicy."
After Du Mingrui finished the demonstration, Zhao Ruiyi couldn't wait to return to her seat. She remembered that these things were not available when she came here two years ago.
She picked up the chopsticks, picked up the meat and dipped it in the sauce and started eating. The sauce was a bit spicy, but she still wanted to try a bite of the chili.
After taking a bite, she started sweating from the spiciness.
Sour and refreshing!
Stimulate!
