Chapter 572 The first contact with America

On the deck of America One, two groups of people sat opposite each other without using any chairs, just sitting cross-legged on the deck. The one with his back to the bow was completely naked, and his neck and wrists were covered with each other.

There are strange ornaments, with various patterns on the face, and weapons similar to spears in their hands.

The group of people was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. He had prominent cheekbones, wide face, and darker skin than ordinary Han people, but he was lighter than the natives in Southeast Asia. If he looked at him suddenly,

It looks a bit similar to the Han people. The most conspicuous thing about this middle-aged man is his colorful feathers, which look like a peacock with a wide open screen, making the person's eyes shine. No need to ask, dress up like this

The person must be the chiefs of this group of natives.

Opposite this group of natives, Lu Wan sat there with some important figures from the fleet, among which the language genius Liu Kata was sitting next to him, trying his best to communicate with the other party. After all, the other party's group of natives

The language does not belong to the Nanyang language family, so it will probably take some time for Liu Kata to figure it out.

Just yesterday afternoon, Lu Wan and his fleet finally arrived at a vast land. Although Lu Wan could not tell whether this land was America due to time, it had already made everyone ecstatic and believed that

Where they are located is the legendary America.

However, when approaching this land, Lu Wan and the others seemed very cautious. After all, they had known from Li Yan that there were a large number of natives living on the American continent, and these natives were likely to have formed a country.

They must be extremely careful when they don’t know the attitude of the local natives towards them, such as outsiders. After all, they have worked hard to come here. If they have a conflict with the local natives, they will be fine.

If the army is destroyed, that is a big joke.

It is precisely because of this. Although they saw the land from afar yesterday, they did not rush to the shore, but searched along the coastline to see if there were any traces of native people's activities, but they soon

I discovered a small village where natives lived, and even saw natives working in some fields along the coast.

The local natives first showed a very shocked attitude towards the arrival of Lu Wan and his fleet. After seeing their ships, the natives in the small village ran to the beach and looked at their fleet.

He pointed at it, but no one dared to approach it, and Lu Wan and the others did not dare to go ashore rashly.

After one night, what Lu Wan and the others did not expect was that this morning, the natives on the shore actually sent people. These natives were riding a boat of strange shape and then shouting to the boat, although Lu Wan and the others

I can't understand what the other person said, but looking at the other person's appearance, I don't seem to be hostile to them. I even have a sense of friendship.

That's why Lu Wan and the others picked up each other on the boat. After all, these natives only sent more than a dozen people, and even if they were asked to board the boat, there was no danger. And they were about to have some contact with local natives, so

The above scenes appeared.

"##¥%&…¥%&" the chief with feathers spoke first.

However, after hearing this, Lu Wan and others all looked at Liu Kata, and Liu Kata had a bitter face. The language of these natives was obviously not Nanyang. He couldn't understand it at all, but he was sure. Just give him a paragraph

Time can master this new language.

Seeing Liu Kata's appearance, Lu Wan no longer had any hope. He immediately smiled kindly and said, "We came from the distant West and went through countless difficulties before we got here. Now my crew is already very strong.

I am tired, so I want to rest here for a while. I hope you don’t mind!”

Although he knew that the other party didn't understand, Lu Wan still spoke very seriously.

The Feather Chief naturally could not understand Chinese. After hearing this, he also showed a puzzled expression on his face. He then whispered a few words with the people around him, and then spoke a series of bird songs. As a result, everyone still looked at each other. It was indeed a big problem to understand language.

No matter what Lu Wan said, the other party couldn't understand. Similarly, Lu Wan and the others could not figure out what the other party was saying, so both parties could only talk to each other, and then guess what the other party meant in their hearts.

Although it was impossible to communicate in words, the first contact between the two parties was quite pleasant. In particular, Lu Wan asked someone to take out some small gifts, such as various glass jewelry, cotton cloth, porcelain, etc. These exquisite gifts specially prepared were immediately obtained.

The other party's great favor, just by looking at the happy look of the feathered chief, you can tell that the other party is obviously very satisfied with these gifts.

As the saying goes, these natives obviously have this concept. After Lu Wan and others sent these natives ashore, they soon came on a dozen small boats, and the ship was carrying all kinds of food.

And fruit, it seems that Lu Wan and the others are treated as guests.

"Quick! Take it over and compare it. This thing should be the legendary sweet potato, right?" On the deck of America One, Lu Wan was holding a booklet in his hand, with an oblong crop painted on it, and next to it was made of

The Chinese characters are annotated with the words "sweet potato". At Lu Wan's feet, food sent by natives is placed. Among them, Lu Wan holds an adult's fist in his hand, which is almost exactly the same as the sweet potato in the album.

"And this, this should be the peppers that His Highness King Qi asked for!" Feng Shijie picked up a string of long red fruits from the deck, one by one, looking like fingers.

Lu Wan hurriedly turned the picture album in his hand to the first page, and found that the plant with the word "pilaf" inscribed with the word "pilaf" was exactly the same as that in Feng Shijie's hand. There was also a line of small characters below, which read some of the characteristics of "pilaf" in fact, it can be done from the name

I guess, this chili must have a spicy flavor.

"I'll try it!" Erhanzi next to him grabbed the peppers, then stuffed them into his mouth without looking at them, and chewed them hard for a few times. As a result, his face immediately changed, and his whole face turned red, only

Tears surged in one of his eyes, and then he suddenly spit out the peppers in his mouth and shouted: "Water! Give me water quickly!"

"Quick! Go get the water!" Lu Wan was also shocked. After several years of training, Erhanzi became more and more fierce. Even if he was stabbed, he would probably not cry out for pain, but he was just like that.

A small piece of pepper made him cry and snot flow down, which shows that this thing is definitely not ordinary spicy.

In fact, spicy flavor has long been found in the condiments in the Central Plains. It is just that for some reasons, the spicy flavor is not widely circulated, but it is produced in some places. Generally, the seedlings of dogwood are used, and then made into

Of course, the spicy taste of dogwood sauce is not as spicy as chili peppers. I have eaten Li Jing several times and I always feel that it is not spicy enough. Moreover, he has long been used to the spicy peppers, so he is not very interested in dogwood sauce, and it also makes him miss it even more.

So peppers are ranked first in the American specialty album for Lu Wan.

However, Erhanzi couldn't wait for others to come over to bring water. When he saw the fruits sent on the deck, he picked up a few and stuffed them into his mouth. As a result, the sweetness of the fruit finally made the spicy taste in his mouth fade much. Finally, waited.

After the water was delivered, he rinsed his mouth several times, and then he felt much better, but he was still sucking in the cold air.

"So spicy! This is much better than dogwood sauce. If it can be grown in Taiwan and other places, it will definitely be a big seller!" Feng Shijie picked up another chili and tasted it, but with Erhanzi's previous lesson, he naturally

Be careful and only bite a little bit, but the result still makes his tongue feel a hot smell.

Lu Wan also tasted it carefully, and immediately exclaimed: "It's indeed a good thing. Not to mention anything else, just this kind of chili is worth our trip!"

In fact, Lu Wan's words were a bit arbitrary because he didn't know that the reason why peppers were ranked on the homepage was mainly because Li Yan wanted to satisfy his appetite and truly benefit the country and the people. In fact, he saw it before.

If the sweet potato, a high-yield and unrestrained crop, can be promoted in the Central Plains and other places, then in the next few hundred years, the Central Plains will at least not have to worry about food.

Sweet potatoes and peppers were found in the food, and finally Lu Wan and the others confirmed that this is their destination America. And as far as he knows, America is actually divided into two continents, including peppers mainly produced in the middle part of North and South America.

This is similar to their original inference. It is just that what made Lu Wan and the others feel regretful, they did not find the corn, tomato and other plants in the picture album in the food sent by the natives.

But later Lu Wan learned that among the food sent by the native Americans, there was a kind of crispy cake, which was made of corn flour. Until a few days later, they saw the scene where the locals used corn to make cakes.

Then I suddenly realized.

After learning that the news of actually arriving in America, although all the crew members had already had some certainty before, they were still ecstatic. At the same time, the big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground, and some people were even fantasizing about returning.

The scenery after Taiwan.

That night, the fleet held another carnival to celebrate its arrival in the Americas. However, no one of Lu Wan and others expected that the date of their first contact with the Native Americans would become the first legal festival on the American continent.

, later called the "Discovery Festival" to commemorate this great geographical discovery. On the day of the festival, everyone will make a cake with sweet potato noodles, wrap pork and chicken, and then serve it with a
