Chapter 1674 No More Sentimental Words Now
"These are called sunflower seeds? Why don't you hurry when you eat them? Don't you mean dried fruits? They are really easy to deal with."
The yacht has arrived at its destination, Li Yi's Mexico.
After meeting the locals, Li Yi specially built a large wooden 'tower' on the peninsula. There was no space inside and it was just a pile of wood.
The flag of the Tang Dynasty was planted on the top, and then his yacht continued eastward to reach the Mexican side.
The distance was only over 600 miles, not far, but Li Yi still raised the flag on the peninsula.
Six hundred miles can sometimes break the will of an army. No, six hundred miles is not needed, sixty miles is not even needed.
When we arrived, we immediately met the locals.
The locals were standing on the beach, catching fish, and their eyes widened when they saw a yacht.
They don't know it's called a yacht. In their eyes, it belongs to a boat. They also have one, but it's just... smaller.
Such a big ship, with several floors, so beautiful.
The people who got off the boat, oh my, why are they wearing so many clothes? Wrap it on top too? We were all exposed.
What kind of clothes are made of hemp and tree leaves? The color changes when it moves, like a rainbow in the water.
There are no tattoos on these people's faces. Are they holding weapons? Not a spear, not a blowgun, not a bow.
There is a rope hanging around the neck, and a hole in the front of a very thin piece of wood?
Gee, what did they bring? Like white sand, oh, it's salt. Can salt be so fine?
The white and big ones are edible. If you taste them, you will find that there are other things inside. They are really fragrant.
You know what you mean by exchanging with us. You can't suffer any loss in exchange. You can only exchange for a bag of seeds for such a delicious thing.
This is how the indigenous people felt and thought when Li Yi first came into contact with the locals. They ate steamed buns stuffed with pork and green onions.
The weapons they guessed were indeed weapons, assault rifles, shotguns.
The temperature in Mexico is high, so now I am not very well-planned when it comes to growing things, I just plant them haphazardly, and I just eat when I can find something to eat.
The only good thing about the tropics is that you can plant them at any time. If you don’t plant them intensively, you can eat any kind of crops all year round.
Everyone was exchanging, and the little girl was holding a tablet computer to communicate with others. Who said she was talented in language? No, she was talented in everything.
She was so talented that she had congenital heart disease. She died at a young age and had never reached a high-level position, so there is no record of her history.
She was not like Xiao Nie, who wrote the national anthem of Li Yi's time. He was not sick, but after finishing writing the song, he insisted on going to the Japanese country to swim, but he said he drowned himself.
Did he drown himself? There was no surveillance at the time. Anyway, look at the virtues of the Japanese people...
Princess Yongmu was holding a large plate of mature sunflowers at the moment. She dug out a seed from it and ate it. She felt that the taste was not good.
"This is called a sunflower. It's quite interesting. Its disk will rotate. When the sun rises early, it will always face the sun.
When it's ripe and can't turn anymore, it lowers its head and the fruit is full.
Just like many people, when they were young, they were full of ambition. Even if their feet could not move, their heads would not give in and they would always face the sun.
The soil may not be good enough, and the rain may not be sufficient, but despite all the ups and downs in the world, the sun still shines.
Then I got married and had a wife and children. Gradually, I lost my dreams and bowed to reality.
So its seeds are sweet because there have been dreams and pursuits.
The moment it bows its head is the moment when it is about to grow old and dedicate all it has to future generations. "
Li Yi told Princess Yongmu like a young man, his voice was smooth and soft, without any anger or waves.
"Li Lang, I'm so sad. Is it my mother's contribution? My mother was once young, beautiful, and chasing the sun, but in the end... Li Lang, what are you doing?"
[Reading Benefits] Draw cash points!
Princess Yongmu's eyes were red, and she felt that she had realized the true meaning of life.
As a result, I saw Li Yi break open the plate of sunflowers and rub them together, causing the sunflower seeds to fall down.
"Hurry up, come with me. Let's rub the seeds out. Once they're ripe, we can go back and plant them so that the people can eat more.
This thing is delicious when fried. Let’s go back and feed it to our mother. You have time to be sad for the spring and autumn, so why not do more things.
I'm quite busy now, so don't delay things. I'll be romantic with you when you return. Still stunned? hurry up. "
Li Yi broke open the second plate of sunflower seeds, then rubbed them in pairs, talking while rubbing them.
Xiaolan wiped her tears beside her: "Li Lang, you are so bad! Some monks say that you are taboo on meat, but you don't even let people eat vegetarian food. Are eggplants and cucumbers also pitiful?"
"This thing is delicious. It can be eaten as a dried fruit snack like hazelnuts, pine nuts, and melon seeds, and it can also be used to extract oil.
Isn’t soybean oil always smelly when it’s raw? It has to be fried. This oil extraction does not require frying.
Rub it quickly, stop rubbing it, I'll get a machine, let's eat tomatoes, they brought it. "
Li Yi rubbed it and saw that the indigenous people had brought something new, tomatoes.
Due to the tropical climate, the tomatoes here are larger and red.
Li Yi knew before eating that it wouldn't taste the same as biting into plastic sheeting.
When he was a child, his family farmed and he loved to eat tomatoes. When he grew up, he discovered that for the sake of yield and storage time, tomatoes did not have the taste and texture of tomatoes at all.
There is also coriander, which looks like celery and cannot be chewed.
When I was a kid, cucumbers, whether dry or water, all had a cucumber flavor, but later they lost their flavor. UU看书www.uukashu.net
The natives got the benefit and picked tomatoes. The big ones were ten centimeters in diameter. You could tell they were sandy by the color of the skin.
"You two take a break, craftsman, follow me. I'll draw you a diagram of the equipment for beating sunflower seeds. It's quite simple."
Li Yi didn't want to exchange it because the technical threshold was too low.
"Owner, we don't need you. We know how to do it. It's just a thresher, and it's easier to thresh than rice."
The craftsman stopped Li Yi. Why do you need to worry about rubbing a seed?
"Let's eat tomatoes. Learn from me. Be careful."
Li Yi didn't care. He took three big tomatoes and gave one to Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan.
He wiped them with his hands, took a bite, and sucked hard. It was too sweet, and the taste was almost the same as when he was a kid.
He stopped sucking for a while: "Is it delicious?"
Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan were sucking their heads in silence, and had no time to pay attention to Li Yi.
Li Yi smiled and waited with the tomato he had just taken a big bite of.
He felt full after one bite, it was too big.
"It's delicious, Li Lang has been waiting for a long time." Princess Yongmu finished drinking the tomato juice, looked up and smiled sweetly at Li Yi.
"This thing can be made into sauce, it's sour and sweet, we can't eat it now, it's already ripe, we can only eat it as fruit.
Xiaolan, stop for a moment, bury your face in it, you have to wash it later, and then apply skin cream.
Otherwise it will hurt, if this thing touches your face, it will crack if you don't deal with it or wash it."
Li Yi said to Princess Yongmu, and found that Xiaolan's face was hurt when she ate it.
Yes, eating tomatoes that big, after touching your face, it is guaranteed to crack.
In the past, rural children grew them at home, and they knew to wash or wipe them with their sleeves after eating them.
Eating big tomatoes has no less side effects than eating pineapples.
