"The envoys of Dayuan who blocked the country, do not have Xumi. They will come to see the generals of the Celestial Empire under the order of the king!"

Wu Xumi bowed to the ground and spoke to Bai Qi and the Han generals present in fluent Chinese. His attitude was extremely respectful, for fear of provoking Bai Qi, a man who was slaughtering Wukui and the burial of this.

The generals here immediately straightened their backs. This was the first time most of them received a kneeling ceremony from a foreign country. Even Duan Bing was studying how to sit in his heart and was imposing.

However, Bai Qi has long been used to this kind of scene. Since he joined the army, which foreign race has not been beaten and sang on his knees and conquered him?

After a long time, Bai Qi slowly asked, "Your name is Wu Xumi, you are from Dayuan, right? Get up and talk."

"Thank you, General of the Celestial Empire!"

Wu Xumi quickly stood up and stood there respectfully like a servant.

Bai Qi looked at the Western Regions man with blue eyes and curly hair, and then asked, "If you have something to say, please tell me bluntly, why did you send you to the King of Dayuan?"

Wu Xumi hurriedly said, "Dear General, our king sent villains to express his highest respect to His General and all the brave Han generals here,

Our king hopes to maintain a friendly relationship with His Excellency General, of course, this is just a luxury for the country.

I just want the General to think that the Central Plains and Dayuan had a business relationship decades ago, so I can make friends again, can I make a friend?"

Bai Qi had a slight eye and had already understood in his heart what the purpose of this envoy of Dayuan came to his military camp.

The so-called smiling face makes people convinced, but it is better to use fists to fight with awesomeness. This Dayuan Kingdom was scared by Bai Qi's cruel method of slaughtering the Pamirs last year, for fear that he would repeat the mistakes of Waci and other countries, so he wanted to make good relationships in advance.

However, if he didn't come early or late, he would come back to please him when Bai Qi began to siege the Monroe stronghold, which was also suspected of being a fence-bearer.

However, Bai Qi did not point it out, not to mention that he did not come to those Western countries. Since they wanted to maintain good relationships, they would just follow him. If there were any problems in the future, it would not be too late to deal with the Monroe people after they were dealt with.

With this, he said to Wu Xumi: "Since the Dayuan State has sincerity to make friends with the Han Dynasty, why is the governor not a man's beauty?

Please go back and tell your king that Bai Qi is willing to make friends with Dayuan. After this matter, he will visit Dayuan in person..."

Bai Qi said it very naturally, but Wu Xumi sounded so frightened, especially the words "I went to visit Dayuan in person" almost scared him so much that he subconsciously ran away.

What a joke, is Bai Qi still alive in the place where he has been? This is Wu Xumi’s true thought at this moment.

He paused and said, "God General, the villain is here to see you this time. I specially brought some treasures in the palace and asked the general to accept it..."

"Oh? The palace treasure?" Bai Qi said strangely when he heard this, "I don't know what kind of treasure it is? Let this governor see it quickly..."

"Please wait..."

After Wu Xumi bowed, he turned around and clapped his hands outside the tent. He saw a group of Western slaves carrying six baskets covered with waterproof cloth into the tent.

"What is this?"

After Wu Xumi pulled the oil on the basket, it immediately aroused the interest of these generals in the tent.

I saw things with white bodies and green leaves in the basket, and they were not like fruits.

Seeing the curious appearance of the people in the tent, Wu Xumi was basically sure that they had never seen this thing. This was the carrot that Wu Wu Si planned to use as a treasure to give to Bai Qi.

Just listen to Wu Xumi's introduction: "Your Excellency General, this is called radish, which is a specialty of our Dayuan Kingdom. Only the noble royal family is qualified to enjoy it. Its value is comparable to your bird's nest in the Central Plains..."

"Bird's nest?" Wei Yin, a wealthy family in Yongzhou, immediately took a step forward, picked up a radish from the basket and looked at it for a while, frowned and said, "You think this thing is comparable to bird's nest?"

Do you know how rare bird's nest is? It will take several years to collect a basket of bird's nests! You can buy up to ten taels of gold for one or two bird's nests. I'm afraid that this radish in my hand will be worth a pound. Could it be that such a piece of gold is worth a hundred taels of gold?"

Wu Xumi was slightly shocked and explained hurriedly: "No, no, general, don't misunderstand, I mean this value is similar to bird's nest. It is also called fake bird's nest, but it is not as expensive as bird's nest. One in your hand is worth..."

As he said that, he stretched out a finger and said, "It's just one or two gold, but it's very helpful for nourishing the body. In our Dayuan Kingdom, only the king is qualified to enjoy it."

Wei Yin nodded when he heard this, but his expression obviously still didn't believe it, because these vegetables called "radish" are not worth a ounce of gold no matter how you look at it.

Bai Qi could not judge whether Wu Xumi's words were true or not. Now he regretted that Liu Ce was not here, because Liu Ce's knowledge could basically tell the true value of these crops at a glance.

"Then how should he eat it?" Duan Feng asked, "Since this radish is more expensive than bird's nest, then the production process must be very complicated, right?"

Wu Xumi replied: "Please allow the villain to personally demonstrate the cooking method to you and all the generals."

Bai Qi nodded in agreement.

Then, Wu Xumi immediately ordered someone to get the tile pot she carried with her, and then took the chopping board and kitchen knife. He borrowed the stove to keep warm in the Baiqi tent and started to work hard.

Everyone looked at it and saw that Wu Xumi first wiped the pot clean, then poured clean water and started heating it. Then he took a few radishes and cleaned it and peeled it. He started to put it on the cutting board and cut it into strips. After removing the green leaves on the head, pour it directly into the water that had not yet boiled. Then he covered the pot and started waiting. During the waiting period, he took a few bowls and placed them in front of the pot.

After the hot water was just boiling, Wu Xumi took up the radish strips in the inside with a spoon, poured them into the bowl, added a small spoon of water, and then sprinkled some salt grains with you with you. A "fake bird's nest" was completed.

After forgetting everything, Wu Xumi said: "Several generals, please taste this fake bird's nest..."

Bai Qi took the fake bird's nest and observed for a long time, but saw that the radish strips inside were dry and could not raise any appetite. The other generals were the same, and they all showed hesitant attitude.

After Bai Qi took the special silver chopsticks for carrying the poison test with him, he confirmed that it was not poisonous, he carefully picked up a radish strip and put it in his mouth for a while.

How good can the white water radish taste? In addition, the radish is not soft at all, so it doesn’t taste like chewed, and it’s not as good as cucumbers to clear their mouths.

After taking only one bite, Bai Qi put down the bowls and chopsticks and said to Wu Xumi against his conscience: "Very good, it is really worthy of being a fake bird's nest. It is really unique. I have received your kindness. On behalf of my governor, I will tell you the king, and I will say that I am willing to make friends with him and give him peace of mind!"

Without Xumi being excited, he thought that he could finally go back to work, and he didn't have to run away, so he saluted Bai Qi and said, "Thank you General Bai for being willing to make friends with Dayuan. Dayuan is willing to make good friends with the Han Dynasty for generations! Thank you!"

But Wu Xumi didn't find a detail, that is, Bai Qi didn't mention the "big Han" at all, but made friends with Dayuan in his own name and identity.

Seeing Wu Xumi leave respectfully, Bai Qi's face changed instantly, and he asked Duan Feng and others: "How do you think this radish is comparable to bird's nest?"

"Pooh……"

Wei Yin took a bite of the radish, and immediately spit it out as soon as he entered his mouth, and replied: "Governor Bai, not to mention bird's nest, even an ordinary dish is more delicious than the radish boiled in clear water. People in the Western Regions are afraid that they are not at ease."

Duan Feng frowned slightly after taking a bite: "Maybe there is something wrong with the cooking method? But no matter what, I don't believe that such a radish can sell one or two gold."

Xia Yu also put down his bowls and chopsticks: "I think this Wu Xumi must have used things I have never seen before to fool me, and bully me and not recognize this thing?"

Tian Yan took the bowl and walked directly to the pot left by Wu Xumi, poured the whole bowl of radish into it, shook his head and sighed: "Not to mention his value for it, anyway, I will not be able to eat this kind of clear soup and poor water, and I am afraid I will not be blessed to eat it."

After eating two bites, Lu Yu said, "Maybe the cooking method is different from ours, but in the past, ordinary people also cooked dishes with clear water. After all, oil is expensive and not every household can eat it every day.

It is only in recent years that His Majesty has vigorously supported the cultivation of agricultural products, which has led to a sharp drop in the price of rapeseed oil. Not to mention these, if you use such means to cook, it will be useful in the year of famine..."

In short, all the generals in the tent, from Bai Qi to the lower side, had no good feelings for this "fake bird's nest" and had a skeptical attitude towards its value.

In fact, this is not the fault of Radish. The mistake is that the Han army is treated so well, and they sneer at this kind of "late happiness".

If it were in the previous life, white radish was still a royal delicacy in the palace until the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and it could not be bought by the people. His method was very similar to that displayed by Wu Xumi. It is indeed a good reputation for "fake bird's nest". It would be very respectful for ordinary people to have the opportunity to eat a bowl of "fake bird's nest"... (The meaning of fake reference)

Unfortunately, Liu Ce of this era brought advanced management concepts, which surpassed countless previous dynasties in both military and political aspects and civil governance methods.

In particular, people's ideology and consciousness have spared no effort to change. This kind of trick to cheat gold by carrots is naturally impossible to let Bai Qi and other new era generals be fooled by Kaizi.

"When Wang Tuyu came back, he asked him what this radish was and how much it was worth. He had lived in the Western Regions for a long time and knew more about this than we would have.

If Xumi dared to fool me, then after I dealt with the Monroe, my military commander would personally razed his Dayuan City to the ground, and this would be the result of our Han army!”
