Chapter 1490: Food Enlargement Is Difficult
"Set off the cannons!" Many indigenous children shouted together.
'boom! ’ The fifth pot of popcorn appeared, and the children cheered to help.
It is difficult for them to learn other Tang Dynasty dialects, but they can master these three words after hearing them twice.
The leader stood nearby eating popcorn with a look of shock on his face.
He looked at the original corn kernels for a while, then looked at the size of the popped popcorn, and finally stared at the popcorn boiler, thoughtfully.
"Li Lang, what's wrong with him?" Princess Yongmu sensed something was wrong.
Li Yi glanced over and said with a straight face: "He is thinking about a grain amplifier, a popcorn machine, and a grain of corn will grow several times bigger with a bang, hahaha~~"
Speaking of the latter, Li Yi finally couldn't hold it back.
Princess Yongmu pursed her lips and smiled: "The buns, steamed buns, fried dough sticks and bread have also been enlarged. If he wants it, can he give it to him?"
"It's not easy to give. It's easy to cause trouble. No, it's guaranteed to happen. The reason why copper seals are not as good as lead seals is that they are seriously worn.
If it explodes too much, every time it is forced to open, the gasket will wear out, and the air will leak if it wears too much.
They don't know how to read the humidity and pressure gauges, so they are being clever and want to burn them for a while longer. Who will be responsible for the explosion? "
Li Yicai did not believe that the native Indians would be as obedient as his farmers.
"Is this the big belly?" Princess Yongmu pointed to the largest part of the boiler.
"There is no explosion here. The front is sealed. Sometimes the head will fly out, so no one is allowed to stand in front." Li Yi was thinking about how to refuse.
He guessed that the other party was already thinking about grabbing it, so he put a few handfuls of corn kernels into the pot, and with a bang, dozens of handfuls came out, which was too big to hold. It was such a big pile.
How many people can this feed? Artifact!
Princess Yongmu also thought about it, turned around and saw, well, Yulin Feiqi's finger was placed next to the trigger of the assault rifle.
"Li Lang, how about we make some steamers for them and teach them the magic skills of making dough and amplifying food?" Princess Yongmu held back her laughter.
"A good idea is to leave something behind. So we have to educate them and let them know the principle of puffing. The increase in volume is a change in density, but the quality remains unchanged."
Li Yike was worried. Communication with the indigenous people was difficult. How to make them understand the truth?
"Master, fresh corn becomes smaller when dried with drying equipment. Dried corn can become very large when soaked in water."
The little girl didn't want to play with the children anymore. She stood behind Li Yi and now had an idea.
"Look, look at my eldest disciple, he is so smart."
Li Yi admitted that the apprentice had the simplest idea and told him what was going on.
"Go, crush the popcorn, put it in water, stir it into a paste, and then bake it dry." Li Yi ordered.
The craftsman went over and did some work. The indigenous leader looked regretful and understood that it was still those things.
But he still likes popcorn machines because they taste delicious.
"Bring the tablet, I'll show him how it explodes."
Li Yi was helpless, he didn't dare to give it, there were casualties in the explosion, and the natives thought that the Tang Dynasty was harming them.
The tablets are in hand, and the craftsmen are there to crank the boilers.
Li Yi demonstrated to the leader that there were various explosions and the seals needed to be replaced all the time. The production of seals was very troublesome.
"Did you see it? It's not that I won't give it to you, but you can't use it well. This software is so easy to use, who made it? It's a fool-proof operation."
Li Yi first gestured to the leader and then praised the software.
system:"……"
The leader understood, sighed regretfully, thought about it, and gestured.
Li Yi continued to operate the tablet computer and told the other party that the popcorn was too bulky to be stored and could get damp and moldy, just like corn.
The leader wanted him to have a lot of bang, and the tribe would keep it and eat it slowly.
Unfortunately, the popcorn is very damp and loses its crispness when eaten, and it also grows hairy. There is a lot of rain in the area.
Li Yi saw the leader's sad look, thought about it, and continued to demonstrate.
Tell the other party to leave this boiler and a batch of sealing gaskets behind, waiting for the subsequent Datang people to come over.
Some of those people know how to operate and pop popcorn for the locals, but don’t touch it yourselves.
Popped popcorn can be stored for a longer period of time in a dry place. When the sun is bright, take it out to dry.
The leader smiled, hugged Li Yi, and that was it.
"You six, draw a picture of this process, add text explanations, and put it locally for those of us who come later to see."
Li Yi reached an agreement with the leader. When he turned around, he saw six officials eating popcorn and ordered, "Don't be idle. My team does not support idlers."
The wooden houses continued to be built, and Li Yi collected various seeds from the local area, including tobacco.
This thing looks like Chinese cabbage after it is grown. It needs a fermentation process. It is relatively simple to roast, but the taste is not mellow enough.
Before making cigarettes, they will also go through the fermentation process, but the taste is lighter than that of sun-cured cigarettes.
He decided to go back and grow it, use it as a topical medicine to prevent the tobacco leaves from drying out, and sell it to pharmacies in various places.
If the tobacco leaves are too dry, put fruit peels, orange peels, sand peels, etc., generally within twelve hours. The peels will rot after a long time.
It is an orthodox operation, rather than spraying wine and honey. Tobacco leaves sprayed with wine and honey cannot be sold in a short time, and the taste is getting worse and worse.
Another unorthodox operation method of returning moisture is to place the cigarette seedlings on the bundled straw, stand it against the wall, and spray water on the straw.
The middle of the tobacco stalk is open and will slowly absorb moisture, causing the tobacco leaves to become wet.
The disadvantage is that the tobacco stalks will become moldy, and the mold will spread where they are connected to the tobacco leaves, making the smoke bitter.
There is also a kind of spray spice. Due to the cost of adding spices, the price is also high. It tastes good when you smoke it. That is the smell of spices.
Li Yi does not want people to eat and smoke, so he has to strictly control it. For example, anyone who wants to buy arsenic must register.
Three days later, Li Yi's team set sail again, heading south.
To the south is a series of small countries at that time, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador...
The key is that there is no canal, neither Nicaragua nor Panama.
Li Yi hurried back, so the time he stayed was short.
He had to go around Brazil and then back, instead of going through the Atlantic Ocean to Africa.
"After we get the things, we still have to go back to the previous place and give the drawings to the people who come later, especially the reef conditions of the two straits."
Li Yi felt that he could meet the Tang Dynasty team on the return journey, unless the fleet deviated too far from the route.
After listening to Li Yi, the six officials continued to study with their heads down, very honestly.
They felt fear, and they had to work hard to be eliminated.
They couldn't offend Li Yi, and Li Yi might not care. Once the palace maids and eunuchs went back and said something, they would lose their heads.
If I were the emperor, I would also value Li Yi.
There should be countless dangers in the ocean, but Li Yi was just playing.
All the way was eating, eating by myself, eating with the locals, and then giving things, exchanging things, sending flags, and building houses.
There was no danger, would others dare to think about it?
Who would come out without a plan to survive nine deaths? What life and death are we following Li Yi? It's clearly to experience the customs of other places.
"Li Lang, peanuts are delicious." Princess Yongmu squinted her eyes while eating peanuts that were boiled first and then dried. They smell good!
