The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 1471: Xinjumen dog meat smells bad, there are

The fleet was repaired in Aden for three days, not only to repair the ships, but also to relax the officers and soldiers. The battle was urgent and not anxious at this moment. In fact, the scheduled time to arrive at the port of Aden is one month. It is early and there is plenty of time. Go for rest and sightseeing.

Let the officers and soldiers go to see the scenery of foreign countries and learn about the customs and habits of various places. This is the activity of "Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles" advocated by Yan Changwu in the army. During his military career, it is not just about fighting and training. Yan Changwu wants to build a team with Armies with different histories must have all-round high-quality in addition to being able to fight.

Needless to say, the warships of the southeastern country are often moved to another military port and stationed in another military port. The army also changes its station in three or five years. At any cost, there will be no regular army living in one base until it is old.

One advantage of the Southeastern countries is that they have many islands and the cost of shipping is much lower. Even in the mainland of Australia, it is not a problem. There are many horses, cattle and donkeys, and the transportation force is great.

You can't stay in the barracks to increase your knowledge. The superiors give the officers and soldiers a holiday, drive them out of the barracks, and at the same time give them a certain amount of pocket money, so that they can have money to shop and eat!

That's right, you should arrive at a place to taste the local taste.

It’s okay to buy more gifts, hey, is this a trip?

The second prince Yan Yu went with three young officers to tour the old city of Aden.

He is a prince. The local garrison sent a young officer to accompany him. He was named Chen Guangzheng. He was chubby. Yes, he was a logistic officer. He was very smooth and fluent in the local language after coming here for two years. He speaks the local language. Guide, guarantee that everyone can buy cheap goods, this is what he brags about, everyone will wait and see.

"It's hot here, so be prepared for sun protection and heat prevention!" Chen Guangzheng's superiors hinted, very enthusiastically.

Everyone half-covered their faces, put on gloves, and put on a local loose robe, which Chen Guangzheng got them specially.

They walked on the road from the Chinese New City to the local old city, facing the blue sea, with many bays and a natural harbor.

It's a pity that it is still hot and dry near the ocean, rain is scarce, and the wind blowing over is hot, which can heat a layer of your skin!

"The eggs are placed on the sand and they will be cooked in a while. Some red hairs come here. They are albino and need to be tanned. When they get up, they fall asleep at the beach, and they are scorched when they wake up." Chen Guangzheng said. Local anecdote, exaggerated and authentic: "They still exude a burnt smell!"

Everyone laughed and said, "That won't be a barbecue!"

But everyone soon discovered that if you don't go faster, you will become a barbecue, even in long robes, the sun spits out viciously, and the ground is like a fire!

They arrived in the old city, where the house was the color of sand, and felt the wind blow it away in an instant. Many of the rooms were low and the buildings were messy.

However, there is not much garbage on the road. Chen Guangzheng said that it was the Chinese who subsidized the sanitation of the old city and hired the untouchables from Asan Middle School to take care of it. After all, many Chinese visited.

He exaggerated and said: "It saves others from telling that we Chinese have messed up the city!"

The listener laughed!

They wandered into the bazaar in the ancient city. The market sells clothes, food, ethnic crafts...many of them are Chinese products!

They walked slowly in the crowd of colorful men and women wrapped in black gauze.

The most attractive thing in the bazaar is the machete and belt shop, which is colorful and available in all styles.

Under the leadership of Chen Guangzheng, they all bought their favorite scimitars and belts, and immediately equipped them. Good guys, they became locals.

The bazaar was tired. When they followed Chen Guangzheng to visit the home of a local rich man named Yoshir, they found that the walls of his house were very thick, up to one meter thick. The advantage of this was heat insulation.

The houses of the rich were built very high, with a room of more than 20 square meters and only two book-sized windows. They were closed during the day and opened at night for ventilation. This was done to prevent the hot air from entering.

"It's also against sandstorms!" Chen Guangzheng explained that the temperature in Aden is the highest from May to July, and there are often big sandstorms. Sometimes a carriage parked on the side of the road can be buried in a short while. When the sandstorm comes, flying sand and rocks, the sky is dim, the darkness is like night, and you can't see your fingers!

"If the window is too large, the fine sand will be pervasive and can reach any part of your body, including ears and nose. It is suffocating and terrifying. When the sandstorm comes, we can only close the doors and windows tightly. The indoor temperature is very high and we can dry it in the wild. It's a barbecue, and it's a stove indoors, and we become baked buns!" Chen Guang just said.

The owner, Yohir, who is to be visited, is tall and obese, wearing a gold belt with a shark-skin scimitar attached to the belt, and the scabbard is studded with precious stones.

He has business dealings with the Southeast Army, so he warmly welcomes the arrival of the Chinese officers.

The fragrant sandalwood incense was lit in the house, and the fragrance was overflowing and refreshing.

He invited everyone to drink tea. This is Chinese tea. Sorry, he entertained the guests with an appetizing and delicious honey drink. There were only five guests, but he brought a large can of it. Well, Yan Yu drank it at the reception. This honey drink seemed to taste good. When I asked, it turned out to be the family property of this old brother Yohir. He signed a contract with the local garrison to supply this drink.

It seems that the city of Aden is not completely barren. Chen Guangzheng asked Josh'er to bring out the coffee. Josh'er asked the servant to bring a bag of coffee, open the package, wow, the strong aroma of coffee came out immediately, the whole room The room is full of fragrance!

The processed coffee tastes unique. Chen Guangzheng said that the origin of Arabica coffee beans has a long history. Other Middle East regions also buy coffee beans here.

"Take a few bags when you leave!" Chen Guangzheng said, and asked Josh to get ready.

During the exchange, Josh introduced the origins of the old city, as well as the local customs and habits, and warned everyone to buy a scimitar and belt and put it away, don’t wear them out, because the beautiful scimitar and belt symbolize high status At the same time, locals don’t like outsiders wearing their scimitars and belts.

"Then the locals sell it again?!" Yan Yuqi said.

"No one can't live with the silver dollar!" Chen Guangzheng shrugged, telling everyone that you don't need to be careful. If something happens, the garrison will support you. After all, the guns in our hands are not fire sticks.

The fat officer gave a grin, his mouth full of white teeth and frustrated, like a wolf opening his mouth and fangs.

Few officers who followed the founding emperor were good at doing good things. Regardless of his logistics, they also did a lot of bad things.

Josill can speak a few sentences in Chinese that are not fluent. Yes, he wants to learn more, but the square characters are too difficult to learn!

Chen Guangzheng was the interpreter and the two parties had a pleasant conversation. Josh also personally led the guests to visit his mansion.

His house is three stories high, the place is spacious and full of exotic atmosphere. It seems to be newly repaired. That’s right. Chen Guangzheng said that he made a lot of money from trading with the Chinese. So, you can take him some coffee back and help him. Bleeding.

There is a pool on the top of the building, which is amazing, but unfortunately the pool where the water has turned green is too short of water.

Therefore, the roof is equipped with a water tank to collect rainwater, but looking at the embarrassment of the water in the water tank, it should have not rained for a long time.

At noon, Johir invited them to dinner and roasted a whole golden fat lamb!

He used sheep's heads to honor the guests, and Chen Guangzheng asked them to look at them quickly. It turns out that the most precious part of local customs in the whole sheep is the sheep's head.

The staple food is flatbread. The browned flatbread is fragrant. Surprisingly, there are many vegetables, including fried spinach, fried potatoes, broth greens, fried water spinach, and cucumbers. It is not their side meal, but I bought it from a vegetable company in Xincheng and cooked it in a Chinese way, which shows my sincerity.

What they saw was the home of the rich, and Chen Guangzheng said that it was enough, and there was no need to see the lives of the poor.

"The rich are different, and the poor are the same at UU reading www.uukanshu.com!" Chen Guangzheng said philosophically.

At the end of the day, on the way back, Yan Yu still had a solid insight into how the poor are poor.

That is, there is a waterway by the sea. It is the sewage flowing out from the new city. After passing through a reed, water hyacinth and lotus pond, it flows into the sea. The poor people are using containers to fetch the sewage.

"Can this still work?" Yan Yu asked curiously.

"For farming or drinking, they let the water settle first, filter it with mud and sand, and then drink it!" Chen Guangzheng said indifferently.

Thinking of taking a bath with fresh water to my heart's content, and the washed water will be used by the local poor, Yan Yu conscience found that there was a feeling of "Jumen dog meat stinks and frozen bones on the road"!
