Chapter 2399: The minister doesn't know the public toilet
In the downtown area of Delhi, India, there is a market that is very lively every day. Whatever you see here in any season is a scene of noisy and crowded people, and this is the Spice Market in Delhi. This market does not seem to occupy a large area, and is responsible for the supply of spices from various regions of India.
The market is quite shabby and there is no unified management department, but there are quite a few people here. In addition, the roads are relatively narrow, and vehicles and pedestrians are also relatively chaotic. It is actually a bit difficult to walk in it.
But this also shows how busy this market is. After all, the amount of spices consumed in a day in India may be an astronomical number.
Indians cannot live without spices. There are spices used in religion, spices used in daily life, and spices added to food.
Because there are many gods in India, if you want to show devotion to the gods, you have to burn the best spices to worship the gods. After all, gods smoke and eat incense.
As the Indians burned more than hundreds of thousands of silver dollars in spices on the famous "Diwali" in one day, for several days, think about how many spices are burned!
The Chinese went to war with the outside world, and the silver dollar turned into smoke, which was shot from gunpowder.
And the Indians also use silver dollars to make cigarettes. They use spices to worship the gods, and they don’t hesitate to spend as much silver dollars.
The weather in India is hot, people sweat a lot, and sweat is unavoidable. At this time, you have to wear spices to make the smell fragrant.
If there are spices used in home furnishings, it is not only for the tall and powerful to get treatment. Indians with a little financial ability are willing to invest money in it.
As for adding spices to food, it’s not an exaggeration to say that spices are necessities for every household in India. Three meals a day are inseparable. Indians like to add curry to all kinds of food, and then eat it with cakes or mix with rice. When you eat, you have to add some spices to taste your tea sometimes.
Of course, the variety of spices in India is unimaginable. There is no clear figure for how many, anyway, there are hundreds of them. Otherwise, there would not be such a large wholesale market. There are hundreds of tons of spices coming and going in and out of the market here every day.
Emperor Yan Changwu entered Delhi. Once on a whim, he led his ministers to inspect the spice market in Delhi.
Indian spices are all natural. Indians usually grind some solid plants into powder, and grind some vegetable leaves or rhizomes into mud to make spices. The shops are filled with bags of spices, which are distributed. Out of a very strong fragrance!
In addition to self-produced spices in India, the South China Empire also dumped a large amount of spices to India. After all, the South China Empire owned the Spice Islands, which was rich in famous spices such as nutmeg, pepper, and cloves. In addition, they were also sarin leaf, stone chestnut, and black chestnut. , Coriander seeds, sand ginger, cinnamon and other edible spices and agarwood, sandalwood and other incense spices, the Indian region has become an important dumping place, with annual profits of more than millions of silver dollars, and is the most important part of the South China Empire’s trade with India.
The spices exported to India by the South China Empire are large in quantity and high in quality, and are well received.
Yan Changwu was an emperor who was very concerned about trade, so he visited the spice market.
In this spice market, you can see people using various vehicles to manually carry various bags and boxes of spice materials back and forth. The scene is so lively.
In the market, spices are transported by pallets, and more powerful firms use Zhonghua bicycles. The bicycle company of the South China Empire has specially produced a heavy-duty cargo bicycle for some areas with backward transportation. It has strong bars and generous thickness. The tires can transport hundreds of catties of goods at one time.
But the most amazing thing is those who carry it manually. They carry the goods directly on their heads. There are also many people in Africa who are used to using their heads to top things, but generally they only top things that are not heavy such as plates and jars. The Indians topped with bags and boxes of spices, which weighed tens of kilograms.
There are four stacked boxes on his head, but he only supports it with one hand, and the other hand can be free to carry other things. It is smooth and error-free. It is a long and uneven road!
I have to say that in order to move goods in India, you really need to have a little knowledge of an acrobat.
Wherever the emperor went, he was welcomed by the people.
Apart from anything else, the road is the cleanest in the history of the spice market.
There are many shops in the shops next to the market with Chinese neighbourhood signs. You can see tea, porcelain, silk, sugar, tobacco, alcohol, clocks and daily sundries from the two Chinas are sold here. The Chinese have developed manufacturing capabilities. , The same goods are shipped by the Chinese by sea, and the cost is lower than the goods made by the Indians, and the quality is better!
The emperor and his party included his ministers, generals, merchants from South China, reporters, senior Indian officials, Sikhs, social figures, and business representatives. After the inspection is completed, they will be dispersed separately without making detailed lists.
The wonderful thing is here. Chen Santai, the reporter of the South China Daily in India, took his Asan servant, and he left the spice market on his bicycle.
Bicycles are very unsafe in India. If they are parked outside, both wheels have to be locked in a fixed place with big chains. Even so, they are still unsafe and they are always stolen.
Later, car owners in India adopted a very Indian approach, which was to send two people, one to ride a bicycle, and the other to run to follow. When one left, the other guarded the bicycle, which invisibly increased the expense of one person. , I made the sales staff of the bicycle company feel helpless. Originally, the bicycle was to save everyone the cost of raising livestock. It's good now. You have to raise more people!
Reporter Chen discovered that the road ahead was martial law, UU reading www.uukanshu. Take a closer look at com, I can't help but enjoy!
It turned out to be Lord Kadahan Antila, the chief minister of Delhi, who was personally appointed by His Majesty Yan Changwu. A noble Kshatriya, he was knowledgeable and capable of backing up the Indian mythology, Mahabharata. The guy who looks like a dog is considered the number one person in Asan High School.
He openly defecated at the root of the wall next to the spice market, and his guard was on guard with a gun. This big man had just accompanied the emperor to inspect the spice market!
Chen Santai woke up suddenly. In order to welcome the emperor’s inspection, the Spice Market urgently arranged several public toilets for everyone to **** and pee. In other words, Lord Kadahan Antila didn’t need to **** in the street!
So reporter Chen questioned the minister at a press conference: "His Majesty asked Delhi to maintain sanitation. What did the Lord do? Do you remember defecation in a certain market? Why not go to the public toilet to solve it? "
satirized him and said: "Your Lord Minister irrigates the lawn personally, it is so proud!"
The reporters of the Southern China Empire belonged to the "public family", and they were the social supervisory force appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, who could not easily be offended.
Facing doubts, Lord Kadahan Antila "screamed" for himself, thinking that people have three urgency, and he asked the reporter "What is a public toilet?"
Reporter Chen said with emotion: "The Minister has no common sense and does not understand what a public toilet is. It is really terrible!"
This is the case for the Minister, let alone other people, it is commonplace in India to urinate and defecate, even if a public toilet is established, no one can help!
