He is short and close to the bottle mouth.
When people heard this, they suddenly became quiet and listened carefully.
Sure enough, when the breeze blew across the mouth of the bottle, a clear sound came from the bottle, like a bird singing, as if a real magpie was singing on the branch.
Although the sound was very low, it was very clear when no one was talking.
The crowd instantly became excited and exclamations came like a tide.
Ajay was so excited that he was incoherent. "Is this the legendary 'Fairy Sound Bottle'? It makes a sound when the wind blows. Only the respected gods can own it."
Yu Yuanzheng gently closed the wooden box, and her smile deepened a little.
Although I couldn't understand what they were saying, I could tell from their excited expressions.
The middle-aged man in front of me has been attracted.
Ajay said a few words to the onlookers and then waved them away.
Yu Yuanzheng saw his extremely serious face and guessed that he might be telling people who saw it not to talk nonsense or tell others about seeing this good thing.
Then Ajay took the initiative to hold Shangguan Ziqi's hand and asked him to follow him.
Ajay led Shangguan Ziqi and his group through several busy streets and finally stopped in front of a gorgeously decorated building.
Yu Yuanzheng noticed that the lintel of the building was carved with intricate patterns, and two guards in uniform stood at the door with solemn expressions.
"It seems that we are being brought here to meet some important local figures." Yu Yuanzheng whispered to Shangguan Ziqi.
Shangguan Ziqi nodded slightly, his hand unconsciously stroking the sword hanging at his waist.
He noticed Ajay's cordiality in talking to the guards, and the surprise in the guards' eyes when they saw them.
Then a guard hurried in.
After a while, he came out and invited them in.
After entering the courtyard, a middle-aged man in a white robe and a black turban came out to greet us.
Ajay immediately stepped forward and saluted, speaking something quickly in an excited tone, pointing to the wooden box in the guard's hand from time to time.
"This person should be a local big businessman or official." Shangguan Ziqi said to Yu Yuanzheng beside him.
"I guess so. Otherwise he wouldn't have brought us here."
After hearing what Ajay said, the man walked forward and bowed to Shangguanziqi and his wife.
Shangguan Ziqi bowed and performed a greeting ceremony for the Great Wei.
The middle-aged man, whom they later learned was called Rajiv, looked at the group of foreign visitors with burning eyes, which finally stopped on the exquisite wooden box.
He gestured for everyone to come in.
The inner room was even more magnificent than the outer room, with exquisite carpets on the floor and all kinds of rare items they had never seen before placed around it.
Rajiv motioned them to sit down and said a few words to Ajay.
Ajay turned to Shangguan Ziqi, made an open gesture, and pointed to his ear.
"He wants to listen to the bottle again." Yu Yuanzheng understood his gesture.
Shangguan Ziqi took the wooden box from the guard, opened it calmly, took out the porcelain bottle, and gently placed it on the table.
Rajiv came closer to observe, and the more he looked, the wider his eyes opened, shining with amazement.
He carefully picked up the bottle, walked to the window, and let the breeze blow across the bottle mouth.
Suddenly, the clear bird song rang out again, like the sound of nature. Although the sound was soft, it made Rajiv's hands tremble slightly.
He gently put down the vase again, clasped his hands together and placed them on his forehead, murmuring softly, his tone full of awe.
"The opportunity for a deal has arrived," Shangguan Ziqi whispered to Yu Yuanzheng, "but we have to find a way to make them understand what we want."
Ajay had brought them here enthusiastically to show them the way, but the language barrier made it very inconvenient.
"Mingyue, bring out two bags of tea, Chunye, bring out a few more pieces of embroidery." Shangguan Ziqi ordered.
He wanted to tempt her with something else.
The two men immediately took out things from their bags and put them on the table.
When Rajiv saw the exquisite embroidery, his eyes lit up and he immediately picked up the embroidery to examine it. When he saw the beautiful pattern, he gently touched it with his hand.
Yu Yuanzheng took out a silver needle from the needle bag she carried with her. Although it was used for treating illnesses, anyone could tell that it was a needle. Then she demonstrated the action of threading a needle to Rajiv.
Rajiv understood immediately that what was in his hand was embroidered stitch by stitch.
There are of course embroidery products in the local area, but compared with the ones he has, the patterns are not as beautiful and detailed, and the fabrics are not as good.
At this time, Rajiv had no idea that what he was holding in his hand was made of silk, and the embroidery thread was also colored silk, with very rich, bright and natural colors.
"Vararesuendara (It's so beautiful)!" Rajiv exclaimed repeatedly.
When Shangguan Ziqi saw his excitement, he knew that this person was very satisfied with what he had.
In order to make the other party more aware of what was in his hand, Shangguan Ziqi took out a pen and paper and started drawing on the table.
The painting shows a silkworm spinning silk, followed by a simple silk-reeling process, a weaving process, and finally a woman embroidering.
Just use a few strokes to simply outline the whole process.
Rajiv and Ajay were amazed by what they saw.
It is actually made of silk spit out by insects.
After admiring the embroidery enough, Rajiv opened the tea bag and took a deep sniff, revealing an intoxicated expression.
Their country loved spices, and he had never seen such spices before.
Looks like some kind of leaf.
Rajiv picked up a little and put it in his mouth. It had a faint fragrance and bitter taste.
Yu Yuanzheng knew that he didn't understand what this thing was used for.
She looked around and saw a stove in a corner with water boiling on it.
She asked Qingfeng to take out a set of ceramic tea sets, including a teapot, teacups and tea trays.
The whole body is as white as jade, with delicate landscape paintings painted on it.
Yu Yuanzheng personally demonstrated how to make tea. When hot water was poured into the teapot, the rich tea aroma immediately filled the entire room.
She rinsed the tea leaves first, poured in the second batch of water, and waited a few breaths.
Then pick up the teapot and pour tea into each cup.
Everyone saw that the color of the water turned brown.
And you can also smell a faint unique fragrance of tea.
Rajiv and Ajay had never smelled anything like it before and took two deep breaths.
The fragrance is intoxicating and makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Yu Yuanzheng was afraid that they couldn't drink it, so she asked Chunye to put a little sugar in two of the cups.
They carry these things with them just in case.
Yu Yuanzheng personally handed a cup of sugar-free wine to Rajiv and motioned him to drink it.
Rajiv took it, blew on it, and drank a little.
He smacked his lips, felt it carefully, and then frowned.
A little bitter, but not severe.
He blew on it again and took another sip.
The discomfort just now disappeared, and instead I felt the sweet taste of the tea, which made me feel very refreshed.
He took a few more sips.
Yu Yuanzheng picked up another cup with a little sugar and gave it to him.
In the end, he only took one sip and stopped drinking.
He also gave a thumbs up to the one without sugar.
Ajay also tasted both and gave a thumbs up to the one without sugar.
The two exchanged views.
Ajay turned to Shangguan Ziqi, pointed at the silk, tea, and porcelain, then pointed in the direction of the sea, making many gestures.
"He asked us if we had more of this kind of cargo," Yu Yuanzheng explained.
Shangguan Ziqi smiled and nodded, then took out a piece of paper he had prepared in advance. On it was a simple diagram of ten large ships, and patterns of silk, porcelain, and tea were drawn next to the ships.
Rajiv's eyes widened when he saw the drawings.
He spoke a series of words eagerly, then clapped his hands, and the servant immediately brought in an exquisite wooden box.
After opening it, there were various gems and spices inside, which were very precious things in the eyes of the locals.
But Shangguan Ziqi looked at it and shook his head.
Yu Yuanzheng took out a silver ingot and a gold ingot from her bosom and pointed at a few things on the table.
"We only accept gold and silver."
