    As soon as he got off the boat, he was surrounded by a group of people. The guards around Li Ke immediately reacted and formed a tight formation to block Li Ke, Cen Changqian and others behind them.  Anyone who behaves inappropriately will be immediately hacked to death by them.

    "Distinguished guests from the Tang Dynasty, businessman Abu greets you all!" The big eaters surrounding them suddenly separated, and a middle-aged man wearing a big food robe came out. This man was not tall, but very tall.  He is fat, has an extremely kind smile on his face, and can speak fluent Chinese. He is obviously a person who can make the decision.

    As Lu Wan is the captain, he is naturally responsible for dealing with outsiders, so he walked out of the guards and said with a smile: "Lv Wan is the captain of this fleet. I don't know why Mr. Abu stopped me."  Important matter?"

    "Lu Wan?" The businessman who called himself Abu was stunned for a moment when he heard the name, with a thoughtful expression on his face. Then his eyes lit up and he asked urgently, "I dare to ask Captain Lu, but who  Discovering Australia and America Captain Luwanlu?¡±

    Lu Wan did not expect that someone in Dashi, thousands of miles away, would actually know his name. He was stunned at the moment, and at the same time he replied smoothly: "Yes, it is Lu!"

    Hearing Lu Wan admit his identity, businessman Abu immediately showed an expression of surprise, trotted forward very enthusiastically, then grabbed Lu Wan's hand and said: "It turns out it is really Captain Lu. This little guy Abu is really honored.  , and today is another day of great joy for my son, and he is even more happy. Captain Lu, follow me into the city quickly, a banquet has been arranged in the city"

    Lu Wan was also startled by Abu's enthusiasm, especially when the guard next to him saw the opponent rushing towards him and almost pulled out his sword, but then he saw Abu's appearance.  I felt that the other party didn't have any ill intentions, so I relaxed temporarily.

    After all, Lu Wan is not an ordinary person. He quickly calmed down from Abu's enthusiasm, and then began to ask the other party why he came and how he knew his name.  Regarding these issues, Abu, who is very eloquent, quickly explained them clearly.

    It turns out that this businessman named Abu is not a simple man. In this port city called Hana Port, his wealth is unmatched by anyone in the local area. He can be said to be the richest man here.  And the reason why Abu accumulated such a large family fortune.  The main reason is that he has several ocean-going fleets under his command, which often travel between the ports between Datang, Taiwan and Dashi.

    By selling goods from various countries, he became the richest man in Hana Port.  Even for the entire Dashi, he is one of the top ten businessmen.  Moreover, he has personally traveled to places such as Tang Dynasty and Taiwan by ship. He even owns a plantation in Taiwan and occasionally goes to live there for a period of time, which is why he can speak such fluent Chinese.

    In addition, because Abu Tong is a shipping businessman, he also pays special attention to the situation at sea, so when he is in Taiwan, he pays special attention to the situation at sea.  I had read reports about Lu Wan in the newspaper, and the impression was very profound. I didn't expect to meet him in my hometown.

    As for the reason why Abu led people to surround Lu Wan and the others, it is actually very simple.  Because one of Abu's favorite sons was getting married, and according to the rules of cannibalism, getting married was a very extravagant affair and would take several days or even longer.  Generally, this time is determined according to each person's financial resources, but it will never be less than three days.  And the richer the person, the longer the wedding celebration will take.

    As the richest man in Hana Port, Abu's son's wedding was naturally even more luxurious and grand. Not only did the entire wedding have to be celebrated for a month, but he also sent people to Ceylon to buy a lot of Tang Dynasty's fine wine and high-end tea.  He even hired several Han chefs at a high price to entertain the guests with Han cuisine at the wedding.  Speaking of which, he is also a person who has seen the world, but no matter which country's food is comparable to the food of the Han people, I believe that the food at this wedding will definitely open the eyes of many people, and he will gain more face by then.

    Speaking of which, with the expansion of Li Min and the three brothers Li Zhen and Li Yun, coupled with the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Central Plains cuisine has also gone beyond the national borders, especially in places such as Tianzhu and Dashi. It is a very high-end cuisine, and nobles from all over the country  They are all proud of eating Central Plains delicacies, so the status of chefs has also risen. Especially some chefs with superb skills are very popular. Abu also asked a Han friend to help, and finally invited several Ceylon Islanders to help.  The chef of the Han Restaurant will prepare the dishes for three days.

    Originally, the chefs had agreed, but unfortunately, the construction of Zhongjing in Tianzhu was completed some time ago, and Li Zhen and Li Yun held a celebration for this. Since most of their employees were Han people, the celebration naturally  They had to prepare a large amount of Central Plains delicacies, but they didn't have many chefs on hand, so they went to Ceylon Island to invite a batch. As a result, those chefs were naturally invited away, and the news spread from Ceylon Island to Hana Port.  time, ?Bu's son's wedding is about to start, and there is no time for him to hire other chefs who can cook Chinese food.

    But the chef couldn't arrive, but Abu had already spread the news. If he couldn't entertain the guests with Central Plains delicacies, he would lose face in front of the guests. For the big eater who always has a good reputation,  It was simply worse than killing him.

    Fortunately, Abu is a shrewd businessman with a much more flexible mind than others. He knows that Han merchant ships often dock at Hana Port, and the larger the fleet, the more likely it is to have a dedicated chef.  So he had this idea in mind and had been waiting at Hana Port for a day. He had also encountered several Han fleets before. The fleets did have chefs, which made Abu finally hire them after paying a very expensive price.  Got a few chefs.

    However, the scale of his son's wedding banquet was very large, and the few chefs alone were obviously not enough. Just when Abu was very anxious about it, he finally saw Lu Wan's large Han fleet, which made him  Lu Wan was overjoyed. When Lu Wan and the others got off the boat, they surrounded them very recklessly, and then the misunderstanding just happened.

    After listening to businessman Abu's explanation, Lu Wan secretly glanced at Li Ke, and finally felt relieved. Although Abu knew him just now, he didn't know their purpose after all. This made Lu Wan very worried about Li Ke's safety.  , if something unexpected happened, he really couldn't afford it.

    "Captain Lu, today is the last day of the wedding at the bride's home. The wedding will be held at my home tomorrow. If I can't serve the Chinese food as promised to the guests, it will be a small matter for me to be embarrassed, but my son may  Being laughed at by others may even cause problems in his marriage, so please help me!" Abu finally begged very sincerely.

    The Big Cannibal¡¯s wedding is very extravagant. According to local rules, the wedding needs to be held first at the bride¡¯s home and then at the groom¡¯s home. Today is already the last day. No wonder Abu is so anxious.

    However, after hearing this, Lu Wan pondered deeply. If he was the only one, then it would be okay to stay in Hana Port for a few days to help the other party. But now that there is Li Ke in the fleet, it is not up to him to make the decision.

    But just after Lu Wan felt embarrassed, Li Ke from behind whispered a few words in Cen Changqian's ear, and then Cen Changqian stepped forward and conveyed Li Ke's words to Lu Wan.  Lu Wan's face relaxed at that time, and he smiled and said to Abu: "Since this matter is related to the happiness of your life, and we happen to have several good chefs in our fleet, let's lend them to Mr. Abu!"

    Hearing Lu Wan's agreement, Abu was also ecstatic, and immediately said: "Okay! Thank you Captain Lu, but I won't let the fleet suffer. So, the fleet will have food, drink and accommodation in Hana Port these days.  Okay, I'll take care of it all, and I'll also give a generous gift to the chefs who help. In addition, I also want to invite Mr. Lu and the people in the fleet to attend my son's wedding. I wonder if you are interested, Mr. Lu?"

    "Haha, that's what I meant!" Lu Wan had just received a message from Li Ke, who said that he was very interested in the cannibal's wedding, so he naturally wanted to receive Abu's invitation.

    "Great, Captain Lu, you don't have a place to stay tonight, right? I just had a villa near the port. If you don't mind it, you can stay there tonight, and it will also allow me to fulfill my duties as a landlord!"

    Having solved the biggest problem, Abu immediately restored his shrewd nature as a businessman and asked to make friends with Lu Wan.  Abu, who has been to Taiwan, knows that Lu Wan is a guest of Prince Qi's palace. Being able to establish a relationship with such a person will be beneficial to his future business development.  Besides, this person has done me such a big favor, so I need to thank him both emotionally and logically.

    Lu Wan also has a cheerful personality, and it is getting late now, so it will be troublesome to go to the city to find a place to stay. It is better to rest at Abu's place for a night.  So he immediately said: "That's it, then I'll trouble Mr. Abu!"

    "Haha~, no trouble, no trouble. It is Abu's honor to invite the world-famous Captain Lu to attend his son's wedding!" Abu also said very happily.  But if he knew that there was another Tang prince who was going to attend his son's wedding, he would probably jump with joy.

    At that moment, Lu Wan sent people to invite several chefs and some assistant cooks in the fleet, and told them about the matter. When these chefs heard that they could make extra money, they naturally agreed, and then Abu sent people to take them  They were sent to his home and asked to help prepare for tomorrow's wedding. As for important figures in the fleet such as Lu Wan and Li Ke, Abu personally led him to live in his villa.

    But when Lu Wan and the others entered the other courtyard, they were all startled, and even Li Ke had a strange look on his face.  (To be continued)
