Chapter 907 Your Majesty, have you heard of the Spice Islands?
In Port Emden, the young Castile King Juan III was wearing a mink coat and trembled and got off the boat. This year, the cold suddenly broke out in northern Germany, which made King Juan not expect. Although he had prepared a mink coat before, he still felt a little overwhelmed.
"Welcome, His Majesty Juan, your visit makes the people of Beihai feel very honored! And you, Queen Margaret, our Holy Roman Empire Flower!" Marin greeted him with a smile on his face and bowed by the way.
Juan III did not put on airs, but gave Marin a warm hug:
"Marin, don't be so reserved, we are old friends!" King Juan is not as cunning as his parents, and is relatively simple in the circle of the great nobles. The main reason is that he has been protected too well by his parents since childhood and has never seen any dark side. However, Ferdinand II is currently strengthening the cultivation of his political means. Perhaps in a few years, King Juan will not be so simple.
Moreover, Juan's wife Margaret is not a good deal. Many times, when Juan hesitated, he always asks Queen Margaret for advice. Margaret was also a female politician in his original history, and even the trainer of European overlord Charles V.
Of course, the couple had a very good feeling about Marin. First of all, Juan's life was saved by Marin, otherwise he would have died long ago. Margaret came from Marin's old Habsburg family, and had always had a good relationship with Marin. Therefore, the couple had a very good attitude towards Marin.
The couple of King Juan, wearing mink coats, were stunned when they saw Marin wearing a very bloated down jacket:
"Mr. Malin, although the weather is a bit cold, you don't have to wear that thick, right?"
The down jacket is relatively fluffy and looks very thick. Unknowingly, he thought the clothes were thick and heavy. Marin smiled and pointed at his clothes and said:
"This kind of clothes are not very big, they are actually very light!"
Juan III didn't believe it, so he pinched it with his own hands and found that it was indeed very fluffy and light, so he became interested.
After arriving at the Palace of Orich, Marin took out a spare down jacket and gave it to Juan III. Juan III happily wore a down jacket that looked very bulky. However, living in Spain, he actually didn't need to use such a large down jacket. Because Spain's latitude is very low in Europe and belongs to the southwest of Europe. Therefore, the climate in Spain is very warm and there is basically no such cold weather. Therefore, mink coats or something is definitely enough.
Since it is a cold winter, it is naturally the best to eat hot pot. Because of the chili peppers, this time Malin gave the hot pot a double pot, half spicy and half not spicy. Then, the ingredients for the shabu are mainly thinly cut beef rolls and mutton rolls.
Moreover, the mutton rolls are all from lamb. The so-called lamb meat refers to the meat of the underage lamb. The underage lamb is very tender, but this is not the point. The point is that the meat of the underage lamb has no mutton smell, or the mutton smell is very small.
This is because, whether it is sheep or pig, many strange smells actually come from the X hormones on the body after X development. The X organ of lamb is developed and has no smell on the body, and the meat is very tender. Therefore, nobles who are particular about eating and drinking usually eat lamb instead of eating lamb from adult sheep. Because the smell of mutton is too strong...
There is another type of mutton with a lighter mutton, which is the mutton. Jie sheep is a castrated ram. Because the eggs are cut, the mutton smell is also much lower. This is the same as raising pigs. In the past, pigs were not castrated, and the meat tasted strange, not as good as mutton. Only inferior people can eat it. Since humans learned to castrate pigs (whether male or female, as long as they are castrated), pork has no strange smell. If you have eaten old sow meat, you will find a strange smell, which is different from normal pork...
Of course, the lamb is delicious, but you must not watch the process of the butcher killing the lamb, which makes people feel unbearable...
The lamb is so cute, he was caught and slaughtered by the butcher...that scene...
No matter what, the pig is ugly and the howling of being killed is also unpleasant. Marin has seen it, but he does not sympathize with the pig. But the lamb is very cute and looks very pitiful when he was slaughtered. When he saw a lamb slaughter for the first time in his previous life, Marin almost rushed up to stop the butcher from killing the sheep...
A simple truth, if Sister Feng was beheaded publicly, there would probably be no one sympathy for her, who would have called her... And if it were Bingbing, there would probably be many people who felt sorry for her...
Because of their high appearance, many celebrities will forgive themselves even if they take drugs or make trouble. If it were an ugly person, everyone would have called the police long ago...
...
Later, Malin never went to see the killing of sheep again. Anyway, just buy mutton rolls from the supermarket, don’t worry about the process.
Confucius said that "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen" is probably because Confucius has seen the scene of killing sheep and feels very unbearable. But it is not okay to not eat meat. Therefore, if we don't go to the kitchen to watch the killing of sheep, we just pretend to be an ostrich and wait to eat meat...
...
The young couple seemed to have different tastes. Juan III was not used to eating spicy food, but Queen Margaret liked spicy food very much and asked Marin for a bottle of chili sauce to take it back.
After eating and drinking, Marin naturally took Juan III and Queen Margaret to see porcelain and drink silk. Juan III had a special liking for blue and white porcelain. After Marin gave him a few pieces of blue and white porcelain, he hugged him and refused to let go. Queen Margaret had a special liking for silk. However, raw silk could not attract her. What attracted Queen Margaret was a piece of Nanjing Yunjin and a piece of Suzhou embroidery, both of which were beautiful silk fabrics.
After giving the gift, Marin asked them to show them more of these things to the great nobles after returning to China so that they could help them advertise. The couple naturally had no objection to this. Anyway, isn’t drinking silk fabrics just a weapon to show off?
Moreover, Queen Margaret was very interested in Angela's mixed modified version of the 19th-century princess dress designed by Marin and the Republic of China cheongsam. When Marin saw it, she simply gave her two modified versions of the cheongsam princess dresses, which could be considered as an advertisement for herself. The cheongsam princess dress made of Yunjin and Suzhou embroidery will definitely set off a trend in the Spanish upper class, and the auction will be more popular at that time...
...
After picking up the gift, Marin suddenly pulled Juan III to the side, as if she had something to say...
Juan III was a little puzzled and asked:
"What's wrong, Grand Duke Marin?"
Marin said in a mysterious tone similar to Amway salesman:
"Your Majesty, have you heard of the Spice Islands?"
