Chapter 2778 0 Surname Is Simple and the Route Is Dense
"Jerusalem artichokes are good. Now they are all planted in Datang. They are easier to take care of than snails."
Bi Gou was relieved. The old man was in good health. He could tell by looking at the food.
He loved snails. There were some on the boat. They were definitely put in the shrimp sauce side dishes. Datang planted them for pickled vegetables.
Later, Xiao Yi brought back a kind of ginger from here. It looked like ginger, but it didn't have the spicy taste of ginger.
This pickled vegetable is also good. The key is the demand for the growing environment. It can be planted in cold and hot places.
After planting once, don't dig out all of them when digging. Leave some small ones. They can survive in more than 30 degrees below zero in the winter and will be prosperous next year.
The people followed what was written in the newspaper. Those who were willing to plant should plant in the corner of the yard and choose the street-facing position with the neighbor's fence.
The fence between neighbors is generally less than one meter high. There are small sticks inserted there. You can get through it if you want to. Even children can bump through it.
But when both sides don't go through, if you want to go, you can go through the gate. Even if some parts of the fence are blown down by the wind, you can't cross it.
Jerusalem artichokes can grow roots and reach the neighbor's house. Neighbors who don't plant them will pretend not to know when they see them.
When they can harvest in autumn, they will dig them up. Both parties have a tacit understanding. Then if the neighbor's house has fruit trees, such as apricot trees, mountain red, plums, and sand apples, they will be guaranteed to send them to the neighbors, saying that they will let the children eat them.
It is planted everywhere in Datang. The speed of the Japanese ginger reproduction is too fast. Except for weeds, I have never seen such a crazy growth.
Other alien species may be harmful, but everyone doesn't mind too much Japanese ginger. What else can be used to make pickles?
Some people have sandy land by the river. The yield of planting other things is too low, so they plant Japanese ginger and leave it alone after planting.
No need to help weed, weeds can't kill it, drought doesn't matter, and more rain is okay.
Thirty degrees above zero and three degrees below zero are not a problem for it. It can survive, don't worry!
Once harvested in autumn, wash it clean, salt it in a jar, and throw it in a sauce jar for better.
I guarantee that I can't finish eating it at home. Some give it to others, and some sell it. It's very cheap.
Basically, the ones given as gifts have to be placed in a jar of sauce. The taste of the sauce made by each family is different, just like the pickles in Shu, each family makes it differently.
The Japanese ginger in the jar of sauce given to others must be recognized by their own family's sauce, otherwise it is not presentable.
The people in Chang'an who have good sauce will make a lot of it, and the neighbors will go to ask for it.
Bring things and chat, and then say that there are too many maggots in the sauce of your family, and they have to pick out the maggots recently, and the children want to eat the sauce, so they are making a fuss!
The neighbor understood, and I gave you a big bowl of sauce. The other party immediately said, I dare not ask for your sauce, but the children love yours, and I can't make it after they are used to it.
The neighbor was happy: Sometimes the children are picky, if they want to eat it, I will give it to them in two days, don't always say that the children are not good, they just eat sauce.
But there is no Jerusalem artichoke here now, and it is not planted nearby.
Bi Gou thought of this question: "Jerusalem artichokes are good. I found that they have few pickled vegetables, so we need to promote them."
"Yes, they are in the Neolithic Age. It's not just a matter of tools, it's technology. If you take technology, how can you develop without tools?"
Li Yi emphasized the other party's social development stage. When he arrived in the Tang Dynasty, many people in the Tang Dynasty still used mortars and pestles.
Stone mills are only made by rich families or wealthy villages.
Until he made the earth huller, followed by water power, and later manual and foot-operated flour mills.
Originally, corn was boiled or roasted, or it was pounded with stones. The pounding depends on how fine it is to be pounded. The best is the powder after pounding.
How long does it take to pound a pound of cornmeal with dry corn? Didn't you see that they were very happy to eat cornmeal steamed bread with large grains that were not fine enough!
Eating a big steamed bun with leavened dough and a steamed bun with white flour, they all felt that it was a reward from God.
"Let's go, eat, and send things to them."
Bi Gou pushed his little robot. His little robot had low authority and could not command Li's village.
However, he can be informed in time. As long as the administrative data is entered, the robot will give various data graphics.
Chat with him on weekdays, talk about literature, music, calligraphy, and painting.
When Bi Gou doesn't want to talk, the robot hums softly.
More importantly, the robot has a pistol on its head. The killing range of the pistol bullet is more than 200 meters, and the normal effective range of the pistol is 50 meters.
If the robot operates the gun, if the first shot misses, it is calibrated, and then the second shot's hit rate is improved, and the third shot is even higher.
This refers to the distance of 200 meters. At 50 meters, the robot can't kill you.
There is dust on Li Yi's robot, but not on Bi Gou's robot. He always wipes it with deerskin.
His wife is with him, but he does that less often.
Sometimes when he thinks about it, the robot is also responsible for helping to play small movies, and no security personnel come to catch him.
The stewed fish and fried meatballs are sent out, and a large group of people here still have separate meals.
Some people eat normally, boiled rice and cold dishes.
Li Yi grilled skewers, turning over and over a bundle of hundreds of skewers like a fan.
The frozen mutton and beef on the ship would be gone in three months if they were eaten this way.
But it won't take that long, the Tang Dynasty's supplies will arrive, and another batch of steam locomotives will have already set off. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net
The airship will not fly such a long distance, the air currents in the sky have too much influence, if the situation is not good on land, it can land, but where to land on the sea?
Ships are much easier to deal with. When America was occupied by foreign colonists, they used "broken" ships.
They came here with sailboats, not steamboats. Even when Britain defeated the Spanish Armada, they used sailboats.
At that time, they could send people here to colonize continuously. It was almost the same as crossing the Pacific Ocean.
From the other side of the Atlantic to here, the distance is shortened by one third.
Everyone has mutual supply points, and the supply positions of the Tang Dynasty are all ready.
Sailboats need to look at the wind direction, but steamboats don't need to care. Even if there are sails on the ship, they are used when there is a tailwind or a crosswind, not against the wind, and they don't move in a "zigzag" direction.
After the Tang Dynasty fleet set off, while heading here, they exchanged supplies and put things on the islands on the way.
Some ships dropped things and went back, accompanied by trade and material flows in the middle.
It was not specifically to assist Li Yi here. A fleet ran all the way.
In fact, it was opening up a convenient route. The Tang Dynasty was point A and Guatemala was point Z. There were twenty-six letters, and twenty-four in the middle.
There are routes between these 26 points. Point A is not necessarily connected to point B, but also to point C, point D, etc.
When the arrow is drawn, it is not a one-way arrow, but a two-way arrow.
The entire layout is a network, with different mid-distance, short-distance, and long-distance. When the fleet over there comes, the network is complete.
Li Yi's team is not all focused on this place, but also paving the sea route back, such as the Hawaiian Islands.
There are teams that go to islands that Li Yi's team has not been to twice, so that the network is richer.
