He stroked her hair affectionately: "Little thing, I smell the aroma of dried apple stew..."
She then raised her head and said with a smile: "Where is it?"
"What is that? Guess, what good thing did you think of again?"
She was very mysterious: "This is a tribute from the Eastern Girls Kingdom, called 'Pig fat'."
"What is 'pork fat'?"
"It is when killing a fat pig in the twelfth lunar month, remove all its bones, lean meat, internal organs, etc. and the pig skin; only fat meat is left, and then apply salt, spices and other things to it, and then make it with leaves.
The rope strings it together and sews it into the shape of a whole pig. The pig is buried in the pile of chaff for ten days, then taken out and pressed into a pipa-shaped shape. It is said that this meat can be hung for 10-30 years, the oldest
It can even cure diseases. It is a sign that they entertain guests. How much pork fat a family has means the wealth of the family. This is their unique custom of the East Women's Country..."
"What is the Eastern Girl Country? Why have I never heard of such a country?"
"Hahaha, your majesty, look..."
The two of them had already walked into the house. While talking, Fangfei picked up the gift list that Li Yi sent someone to deliver back that day and opened one of the pages: "I have never heard of it before, and I have seen it."
No book has ever mentioned such a strange country. This meat was exchanged for Li Yi's trade with their goods. It is said that it can only be enjoyed by His Majesty's Queen. It is a very mysterious small country..."
"Ah? Her Majesty the Queen?"
"Yes, it is said that it is a country where women are in charge of their own country, and the king is also a woman. They live in deep mountains and lakes, isolated from the world, and the place where they live is called "Beauty Valley". The children born with motherhood, and the women inherit all their property
The men in the clan hunted and fought outside, and then came out to do some simple commodity trading, which seemed quite good..."
When Luo Jia looked at the comments above, he found that it was true.
It turns out that this gift list not only appended various gifts, but also Li Yi’s annotations include the Southern Dynasties and some small surrounding countries. Although the records are simple, they are also eye-opening.
