Chapter 1480: It Is Difficult to Find History as Time Passes

"These three are all peppers. The small bean-shaped one should be the original pepper. Later, the locals planted it and it had other shapes."

Li Yi ate slowly, waiting for the dry pot to be ready, and introduced the locals' specialties.

Sunflower seeds were also brought over. Obviously, the Indians knew how to grow them themselves and knew that sunflower seeds were delicious.

They eat raw sunflower seeds, which are not suitable for cooking or baking.

There are also pumpkins, kidney beans, sweet potatoes, and other edible things.

Li Yi did not grow nails, but he could still pick and pinch the shell of the sunflower seeds and handed one to Princess Yongmu.

Princess Yongmu put it in her mouth, smacked it twice, and it was gone. She was not satisfied.

"It's too tiring, pinching one by one." Princess Yongmu, who had never eaten sunflower seeds, thought that this dried fruit was not convenient to eat.

Li Yi grabbed a handful and began to crack it skillfully, snapping, snapping, at a very fast speed.

He didn't chew the sunflower seeds after eating them, but held them in his mouth. When more than 30 of them came together, he put his mouth next to Princess Yongmu's face and said, "Open your mouth, I'll eat them for you."

"How can that be?" Princess Yongmu blushed and dodged to the side.

Xiaolan leaned forward, her mouth slightly open.

'Pa' Princess Yongmu slapped Xiaolan on the forehead and said, "Eat your roasted corn."

Li Yi had no choice but to chew them himself. They were really delicious. It had been a long time since he had eaten them. It was full of memories.

He grabbed a handful, ate them, bit them open, and held them in his palms with the shells and kernels.

When his hands couldn't hold any more, he blew them with both hands, and the shells flew out, leaving only the kernels.

He divided them into three portions, giving a small portion to Princess Yongmu, Xiaolan, and the eldest disciple.

The three of them ate them in one bite. This time they were very satisfied.

"In fact, I can make a simple shelling tool, but unless you make sunflower oil, it's better to eat it with the shell on.

You eat pine nuts and hazelnuts, don't you also pick them yourself? The ones peeled by others don't taste good."

Li Yi stopped eating, and controlled himself, otherwise he couldn't stop.

If I stir-fry part of it and make another part into five-spice, and mix them together, I can eat it for a whole day, it's addictive.

Even if my head is buzzing after eating it, I still eat it while thinking that I can't eat it.

If I change to the Australian nuts in the future, the shell is very thick and needs to be cracked with tools, I can't eat it for a whole day. It's like wax, and I get sick of it if I eat too much.

'Crack, ugh!' Xiaolan grabbed a handful and picked one up to eat, and the first one was broken.

"It's not easy to eat, right? You need to practice. If you eat too much, your teeth will have gaps in the places where you always eat."

Li Yi has forgotten how old he was when he first ate sunflower seeds.

The only thing he knew was that the action of nibbling beans needed to be skilled. If you always nibbled in the same position, you would not use the same strength if your teeth were moved to another position.

"You should throw it in your mouth and nibble it with your big teeth." Li Yi recalled and thought of another way to nibble it, which would test his tongue.

Princess Yongmu threw a few in her mouth and nibbled them. She stopped nibbling and looked at the kidney beans sent by the natives: "Is this delicious?"

"This can be cultivated into many varieties. Now they have two varieties, one with larger grains and one with smaller grains. Cook them and eat them. The larger grains will mature last, and you can peel them out and eat them."

Li Yi knew the purpose of the Indians planting kidney beans, which was to obtain food.

The larger grains belonged to rice beans, and the smaller grains were being cultivated.

Logically, there should be more populated settlements and pyramids going inside the local area.

Pyramids used for surveying and mapping, farming, war, and faith.

Pyramids of different sizes, the larger ones were the main ones, and the smaller ones could be used for resting for others and as war castles.

In case of floods, people would hide in the pyramids, and food would also be stored inside.

Li Yi didn't know what happened to make a civilization abandon the pyramids. Anyway, the information said that there was no one there now.

He picked up a large kidney bean and taught everyone how to pinch the string, pinch both ends, but don't put it in two sections, he didn't over-fry it.

Pinch a large basin, put an iron pot on it, pour soybean oil, raw soybean oil.

When the oil temperature is about the same, scoop one-third of a spoonful of black bean sauce with a cooking spoon and put it into the oil to fry.

The aroma of the sauce wafted out with a crackling sound, and the soybean sauce exploded in the pot.

"If you use this sunflower seed oil, you don't need to fry it. Raw soybean oil smells fishy.

The kidney beans must be cooked, otherwise the saponins and condensins in them will cause a reaction in the human body, and serious cases will die.

However, these two are both medicines. If used well, they can treat diseases."

Li Yi poured the washed kidney beans into the pot and stir-fried them back and forth. They must be stir-fried until they change color.

"Master, I know that eating lentils and cowpeas raw is also poisonous." The little girl spoke. Her family is a traditional medicine family.

If someone accidentally feels uncomfortable, she has to ask others what they have eaten.

"Yes, they contain the same things, so you can eat kidney beans with confidence when you take them back. You can eat kidney beans the same way you eat cowpeas."

Li Yi didn't worry about it, because the people of the Tang Dynasty would eat them.

After a while, he poured water into the pot and stewed it, and then opened two cans of braised pork and threw them in.

He started to cut the small grains into strips: "Go cut a piece of fat and lean meat from the bear, cut it into strips, and stir-fry it with the kidney bean strips. First, feed them with cooking wine, salt, starch, and pepper."

The Yulin Flying Cavalry next to him went to find meat, peeled off the bear skin, and the natives were cleaning the internal organs.

Li Yi wanted the bear's internal organs, but the natives didn't eat anything except the heart, and they didn't eat the liver either, because some animal livers are poisonous if they are not processed.

As a foodie, Li Yi didn't think there was anything he couldn't eat.

What's to be afraid of if it's poisonous? River fish are poisonous, but they can be eaten with Artemisia selengensis and reed sprouts.

The natives cut meat and roasted it. They didn't sprinkle the seasonings brought by Li Yi on the roasted food, but carefully brushed the sauce on it.

They also know how to cherish it and eat it with the seasoning.

Although they are not very tall, they may have eaten it. I think they are also short of oil and water on weekdays.

Li Yi expressed his understanding. When Li's manor bought slaves at the beginning, my God! The cakes made from two catties of flour can be eaten in one meal, not to mention the dishes that can be eaten more.

Now it's still those people. Let alone two catties of flour, the noodles made from two taels of flour, plus the dishes, are enough to eat.

Even those who do manual labor can only have two or two more steamed rice. If they eat more, they will definitely not be able to eat it.

On weekdays, red meat, white meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruits, and dried fruits are eaten every day.

Digestion, absorption, nutritional supplementation, and calorie conversion, there must be a limit, right?

The nutrition of the natives is unbalanced. The more food they eat, the higher their requirements are, mainly because of their poor absorption capacity.

"Li Lang, how do we get along with them in the future?" Princess Yongmu asked a very critical question.

Li Yi kept moving his hands: "My goal is to turn them into people of the Great Tang Dynasty. The people here are okay. They look similar to us.

Then when we arrived in another place, I didn't expect to turn them into people of the Great Tang Dynasty. I'm not discriminating.

In fact, I don't know how long it will take to educate them. The problem of skin color sometimes..."

Li Yi was very embarrassed. He wanted to say that in Africa, the white-skinned people have a nation, and they are still Chinese, helping to guard the border.

What about black people? It feels too strenuous. Maybe changing the environment and not being affected by the original place will work.
