Chapter 2498: Vast Island with Many Ethnic Groups
The local people who ate the glutinous rice fried rice instantly fell in love with this staple food, it was so delicious.
They felt that such delicious rice should be eaten with hands, but they have become Tang people, and Tang people should know how to use chopsticks.
"If you want to eat with your hands, eat with your hands." Li Yi is very open-minded.
When he was a child, not to mention when he was a child, when he was older, he ate barbecue and some other things with his hands.
It can't be torn without hands, and it doesn't taste good if the waiter tears it apart. The waiter tears it along the grain.
When eating, it is actually against the grain...
And eating prawns and crabs, don't use your hands? It's okay to eat Western food, others will prepare it for you, and you just eat the meat.
How about eating bullfrogs? Use chopsticks throughout the whole process? Don't use your hands to grab the bullfrog bones and chew them?
"We in the Tang Dynasty don't use chopsticks for food, but understand the ingredients and cooking techniques. Chopsticks are just auxiliary.
When we in the Tang Dynasty drink soup, we can use a spoon or blow air to the edge of the bowl.
When eating some grilled food, chopsticks are not easy to use, so we put them down."
Li Yi put down the chopsticks first, grabbed the fried rice with his hands and ate it, telling the people who were naturalized.
But the people didn't put them down, they tried hard to use chopsticks to eat.
They saw twenty-five lions and recognized the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty wanted to use chopsticks, they would use them themselves and talk about it after they were trained.
"Whether fried rice is delicious or not depends on the choice of rice. Japonica rice is better than indica rice.
In addition, the dryness and wetness of rice also affect the taste. The drier and more chewy rice is more delicious.
Rice cooked with rice crust under the big stove is better than rice steamed in a steamer.
Other fish and meat ingredients are not included. Just say that when frying rice, you have to put enough oil.
The choice of animal oil or vegetable oil depends on the situation of the person eating. People who can't eat meat are better to put animal oil.
Now we ordinary people prefer to eat vegetable oil. They eat fish every day.
The oil should be large. When it is large, the excess oil can be controlled. In fact, there is a cheating method that we don't use."
Li Yi continued to popularize science and tell others how to make fried rice delicious.
When he was in the past, some fast food restaurants steamed the rice first. When others wanted to eat fried rice, they directly mixed it with oil and other things and served it on the table.
That's not called fried rice. It's too insulting.
The amount of oil consumed and the control of the heat are different when frying and mixing rice.
If the fried rice is not fried well, the rice grains will become soft.
The rice steamed in the rice cooker becomes softer the more it is fried, but it is fine to stir-fry it.
Princess Yongmu and the people in Luoyang learned that fried rice in the village has always been made according to tradition.
When the ministers ate, they didn't consider this situation at all.
Just like eating fried noodles, fried noodles of the stretched type must be rinsed with cold water before frying.
In order to save time, many small restaurants start to fry the stretched noodles after taking them out of the pot, which is fast! Rinse with cold water will delay time.
The dwarfs have not yet been exposed to such a profound Chinese food culture, they just eat, it smells good!
...
The yacht left the shore and headed for the next two places.
The dwarfs wiped their tears and said goodbye, then took a calendar drawn by Li Yi and checked the numbers.
It was agreed that after thirty-five marks, other people from the Tang Dynasty must come.
The dwarfs used to live in their own world, but now they began to look forward to it.
Before Li Yi left, he helped them kill many beasts, including snakes.
A large stone "yard" and a wooden "fence" were built in an area.
Li Yi felt that his contribution to the Tang Dynasty had taken another step forward, and he would try harder.
The yacht arrived in Mozambique. There were too few people here, and most of the coastal plains were vacant.
The yacht stayed for a few hours, and the drone flew out to collect data. Then the yacht turned around and headed east to the island.
When Li Yi was in power, the island was a country, Madagascar.
There were many ethnic groups, and there are still many now.
The ancient people were not stupid, they knew the wind direction and ocean currents every year.
So some people came from the Strait of Malacca, and Madagascar had warm currents and trade winds.
At the beginning, people had a hard time getting a hard sail, going out to sea to fish, or occasionally finding ambergris.
Then suddenly the wind blew, and before the people on the boat could react, the boat was blown forward quickly by the wind.
It is more than 10,000 miles from the Mediterranean to Madagascar. If you walk by foot, you can't even imagine it.
The trade winds and warm currents are so interesting, and the direction of their blowing seems to be to send people to Madagascar.
It takes several days to sail more than 10,000 miles normally.
The wind was blowing, you dare not stop, dare you lower the sail? Then stop in the sea.
In this way, the wind speed was dozens of kilometers per hour, and the people who were fishing and looking for ambergris were blown to Madagascar.
The survivors noticed one thing, they did not reach Mozambique, but the strait.
It looked close on the map, but it was far away.
Then they had to survive, contact with the locals, and fish.
When the southwest monsoon came, they went back.
It didn't matter how many people died in the process, the key was that there was no problem with this route.
After the transportation was convenient, naturally some people were willing to come, maybe to do business, or maybe they were unhappy living there.
So there was colonization, and people from several places lived together on the island.
Li Yi was facing such a scene at the moment, UU reading www.uukanshu.net he wanted this island.
He also knew the complexity of ethnic groups and religions here, how difficult it was!
"The challenge is here! The ethnic groups on this island are very complicated. I think about which model is suitable."
Others will be very happy when they suddenly find Madagascar after traveling so far by boat, but Li Yi is not.
Others only come for supplies. Oh! There is a big island here. I will be finished because of deviation.
Li Yi is like this. I knew there was an island here long ago, and I know that the ethnic groups on this island are complicated.
As long as we take this island, the island of our Tang Dynasty will be up there. It's like an alien island.
I came back after a circle. The fleet of Tang Dynasty should also come.
"This island is a little big, more than 500,000 square kilometers, nearly 600,000. I can only walk around the seaside. The terrain includes hills, basins, plateaus, plains..."
Li Yi told the people on the boat and Zhuangzi about the local situation. There is nothing good in terms of resources.
There is a lot of graphite, but it's a pity that there is enough graphite in other places. It's a loss to use the ship to load graphite back.
The cost of mining other minerals is too high, but planting and breeding can help the locals and turn them into Tang people.
They are not Tang people, nor are they from Tang. If they help, they will create obstacles and difficulties for Tang.
His island country was very poor at that time and never became rich. When it was a little better, there would be problems internally.
With such a large amount of land for farming and breeding in the country, the food grown is not enough for the people.
They export a little, but it is all cheap goods, such as minerals, vanilla, essential oils, coffee, cotton, etc., which cannot exchange for enough money to revitalize the country.
Because there is no technology and lack of technical support, it is like selling blood.
