Chapter 372 Penglai Kingdom’s Welcoming Banquet
After releasing the dolphin, the stall owner said to Ye Tang and the others, "I still have a lot of good stuff on my boat. Do you want any?"
Ye Tang asked: "What good stuff?"
"There are sharks, sea turtles, giant octopuses, seahorses, tuna, crabs, oh, the crabs are this big, bigger than my head." The stall owner introduced his seafood enthusiastically, waiting expectantly for Ye Tang and the others to continue paying money to buy them all and release them, and then he would go and catch them back.
Jamel Xiao waved his hand: “We are not interested in those and will not buy them.”
Then he warned, "That dolphin belongs to my husband and me. We will keep it in the sea for now. You can't catch it again, or I will make you pay for it."
After saying that, he took Ye Tang away.
The stall owner looked at their backs and curled his lips: "Two lowly outsiders dare to threaten me, bah! What the hell!"
He rubbed his hands, smiled obscenely, went to the boat to pick up the fishing tools, returned to the place where the dolphins were released, and started fishing.
Xiao Jingxuan came back and kicked the stall owner on the butt.
"I told you not to catch him, but you insisted on doing it. Are you looking for death?"
thump!
The stall owner was kicked into the sea.
By the time he climbed ashore, Jamel Xiao had disappeared.
"You bastard, I'm going to kill you! Just wait for me, I will never let you go!" The stall owner cursed angrily. When he returned to the boat and was about to change his clothes, a black shadow appeared behind him and knocked him unconscious with a stick.
"Hey, hey, you idiot, your one thousand taels of silver are mine!"
"Wow, you actually caught so many good catches, hahahaha, great, they're all mine!"
When the stall owner woke up, all his money and possessions had been robbed, the silver and money hidden on the boat were gone, and the seafood he had caught with great difficulty was also gone.
After returning to the post station, Ye Tang and his companion fell asleep immediately and slept until dawn.
Breakfast was seafood noodles, which made Ye Tang feel like vomiting. The noodles were not chewy and the seafood flavor was too strong.
She took out some chili oil and poured it into the noodles, added peppercorns and chopped green onions, and the noodles instantly changed their flavor.
“I want some too!” Jamel Xiao took the jar of chili peppers.
Then came Liu An, Hong Longfei and others.
When Li Lun came over, he smelled the scent of chili pepper.
"What are you eating, my dear guests?"
Xiao Jingxuan smiled and said, "Minister Li is here. I'm sorry, I'm not used to your food, so I brought some chili peppers. Has Minister Li eaten it? Do you want to try it?"
Minister Li looked at the bright red peppers and felt a little scared.
"No, no, thanks."
After Xiao Jingxuan and his group finished eating, Minister Li asked them to leave the post station, get on the carriage, and head to the imperial city.
After leaving the seaside city, Ye Tang and his party discovered that the official road of Penglai Kingdom was wide and straight, there were no big mountains, the land was flat, and the grassland stretched as far as the eye could see.
Apart from those coastal cities, other places in Penglai Kingdom are very suitable for planting.
The coldest time of the year is only about 12 or 13 degrees.
It was less than March and the Yuan Dynasty was still freezing cold, but it was already warming up in Penglai. Wherever I went, I saw farmers sowing seeds in the fields, and in some fields, crops had already grown.
Ye Tang said: "This place is perfect for growing two crops of rice."
If Penglai Kingdom had high-yield seeds, its grain output would definitely far exceed that of the Yuan Dynasty.
Because the official road was straight, flat and spacious, there was no need to go around in circles, and there were no mountains blocking the way. In just five days, Ye Tang and his party passed through more than ten cities and arrived at the imperial city.
There were also ceremonial officials welcoming them outside the imperial city gate.
The people in the city were all excited.
"Here they come! Here they come! The Yuan Dynasty delegation is here!"
"This is the first time I've seen a diplomatic corps from another country in my life!"
"What did the Yuan Dynasty look like? Was it as good-looking as us?"
"They all have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. What's the difference?"
Ye Tang was sitting in the carriage and heard these voices.
She smiled at Jamel Xiao: “The people of Penglai are quite lovely.”
Xiao Jingxuan nodded: "Penglai has been secluded from the world for decades, and the people have never seen people from other countries. It is inevitable that they will be interested in us, and we are also very interested in them."
He opened the car curtain and looked outside.
Several people on both sides of the street saw his face.
"Ah! Sister, I saw a god! What a handsome man!" A young girl shouted excitedly.
"Be more reserved and don't make a fool of yourself!" The woman next to her held her back and looked towards the most luxurious carriage. Sure enough, she saw a face as handsome as that of a god.
Her expression wavered.
Xiao Jingxuan walked out of the carriage, stood on it, and waved and shouted to the people.
"Hello, people of Penglai!"
"I am so happy to see you!"
In the carriage, Ye Tang covered his eyes, unable to bear to look.
The people around looked at Jamel Xiao in astonishment, then came to their senses. Some screamed, and some laughed.
"Ahh! He's so handsome! Who is he?"
"He is the King of Pingshan, a prince of the Yuan Dynasty!"
"He's so handsome! Even more handsome than His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson!"
Some people also laughed and said, "This prince looks so frivolous, like a clown!"
A window seat on the second floor of a restaurant.
The handsome man looked at the street below and his eyes swept over Jamel Xiao.
"Is this the Prince of Pingshan from the Yuan Dynasty? He looks quite handsome, but he's just so stupid!"
The attendant next to him echoed: "Your Highness Changsun is right, he is indeed very stupid."
Jamel Xiao was still greeting the people.
Ye Tang couldn't stand it anymore, so he lifted the curtain and pulled Jamel Xiao back into the carriage: "That's enough, why are you so excited!"
The eldest grandson of the emperor stood up and asked: "Who is that woman?"
The attendant looked out the window: "Which woman?"
"The one sitting in the carriage." The emperor's eldest grandson pointed at the carriage in which Xiao Jingxuan and the other person were sitting.
The attendant said, "Your Highness, I heard that King Pingshan brought his princess with him this time. The woman who can ride in the same carriage with King Pingshan must be Princess Pingshan."
The eldest grandson's eyes darkened: "Princess Pingshan?"
The servant noticed that there was something wrong with his expression and didn't dare to speak anymore.
The emperor's eldest grandson turned around and said, "Let's go into the palace."
"Your Highness Zhangsun, what are you doing in the palace?" the attendant followed behind him.
The eldest grandson of the emperor said without even turning his head: "The Yuan Dynasty delegation has come all the way across the sea. As the eldest grandson of the emperor, how can I not receive them?"
"But didn't you say that you didn't like people from the Yuan Dynasty?"
"Really? You heard it wrong!"
After entering the city, the delegation went directly to the palace, where a welcoming banquet was prepared for the Yuan Dynasty delegation.
The welcoming banquet was attended not only by members of the royal family and civil and military ministers, but also by the patriarchs of major families.
The welcoming banquet was held in the Hefeng Hall. Before entering the hall, Ye Tang and his party changed their clothes in a side hall and prepared the gifts for Emperor Penglai.
