Chapter 1305 Reward

This is also the main reason why the Yevle couple intends to let Elva inherit their business. If he wants to be a seaman, he should think carefully.

Being a seaman in this era is a real life-threatening and extremely dangerous thing. After all, anything can happen on the sea, including natural disasters and man-made disasters.

As they talked, the cargo on the ship had been completely unloaded. After docking the ship at a fixed location, the Yevle couple began to go ashore to find a place to eat.

With the opening of the free market in East Africa, the catering industry in East Africa has ushered in a real explosion, which is vividly reflected in Kampala.

Various types of restaurants are everywhere in Kampala, especially oriental restaurants have become more diverse in East Africa.

In the past, the catering industry in East Africa was disturbed by the planned economy, so even if there were many immigrants from the Far East in East Africa, the dishes could only account for a small part.

Now, anyone with a little cooking foundation has the ability to open a small restaurant, which has greatly promoted the development of East African cuisine.

After all, East Africa itself is an immigrant country, and the cooking methods of the Eastern Empire, Germany, Italy, Slavic and other regions can be found in East Africa.

Among them, the Far Eastern Empire and German cuisine are the most widely distributed, and the unique product conditions of East Africa have provided a foundation for the further integration and development of these cuisines in East Africa.

The most distinctive cuisine in the Great Lakes region is naturally "fish". The fish resources of the Great Lakes are very rich, and various freshwater fish species with delicious taste, coupled with advanced cooking techniques, make East Africans particularly particular about eating fish.

In East Africa, fish meat mainly comes from two sources, one is freshwater fish and the other is marine fish. Obviously, the proportion of freshwater fish eaten by East Africans is much higher than that in Europe.

This is related to the short development time of East African marine fishing industry and the many lakes in East Africa. Among them, the freshwater fish in the Great Lakes, Lake Solon (Lake Tanganyika), and Lake Malawi are relatively famous.

For this reason, the East African government has also issued a special decree to prevent species invasion, thereby destroying the original fish growth environment.

This is naturally in response to the negative impact of the flooding of Nile perch in the previous life. In the previous life, Lake Victoria caused the extinction of a large number of native fish species due to the introduction of Nile perch.

However, the Yevle couple obviously don't like eating fish. After all, the two of them almost live on the big lake. Fish can be said to be the most common food on the ship. They naturally go to land to change their taste.

After landing at the Port of Kampala, walk about one kilometer northwest of the dock to a street dominated by catering, called Senhaier Street.

This street is obviously very different from many places in Kampala City. It seems to be more messy because the main people living here are dock workers.

The Port of Kampala is a large inland port in the Great Lakes region, so there are many dock workers. The business of Senhaier Street is basically supported by them.

The income of dock workers is not high, and the transportation of materials here is convenient, so the prices here are relatively low.

The Yevle couple came to a restaurant called Restaurant on Senhaier Street, and the sign read Li's Farmhouse Cuisine.

Yevl said to the restaurant owner very familiarly: "Boss lady, give me one stir-fried sausage, one onion beef, and one pepper tofu skin."

"One stir-fried sausage..." the boss lady shouted towards the kitchen.

Obviously, the catering industry in East Africa, especially the low-end catering industry, has been basically led astray by the Far East immigrants, and has almost monopolized the market, which has also led to the fact that the catering services in East Africa today are almost the same as those in the Far East Empire in the previous life.

Even the tipping that is common in Europe does not exist in East Africa. This is actually easy to understand. After all, when East Africa first accepted immigrants, it basically selected the poorest people in various countries.

The tipping culture originated from the upper class in Europe, but most of the upper class in East Africa also came from the lower class, the army or military academies, rather than the rich and declining aristocrats like American immigrants who directly landed in the United States.

The difference between the two makes it that the upper class in East Africa does not have the habit of "tipping", and the lower class people in East Africa naturally cannot "follow the example of the upper class", even though the people are now more affluent.

This is also related to the fact that most of the catering practitioners in East Africa inherited from the Far East Empire.

There is no doubt that the cooking skills mastered by the Far Eastern Empire immigrants are far better than those of other immigrant groups. The reason why some German delicacies and foods can still have a great influence in East Africa is also related to the previous cultural integration policy of East Africa.

If the policy was relaxed at the beginning and the two were allowed to compete freely, I am afraid that other cuisines would not be the opponents of the Far Eastern Empire cuisine at all.

February 24, 1918.

Rhine City.

Ernst is commending the National Defense Security Bureau. As time goes by, the gold from the Kazan Treasury is also successfully brought back to East Africa by the National Defense Security Bureau.

It can be said that there are no dangers along the way. The most dangerous one is the route through Persia. After all, Persia is deeply influenced by Britain, and there are even British troops stationed in its territory.

If the news is leaked, no one will be indifferent to the gold in the Kazan Treasury. It is necessary to guard against both the British and the Persians.

In the end, it was completely safe when the National Defense Security Bureau brought this batch of wealth to the warships in the Persian Gulf.

"Mr. Brühl, in view of your great contributions to the empire, I hereby confer upon you the title of Viscount of the Empire and reward you with one million Rhine Shields." Ernst said as he pinned an Iron Cross badge on Brühl's chest.

The Iron Cross badge of East Africa represents a high honor. So far, it has only been awarded to thirteen people who have made great contributions to East Africa.

If you look closely at Brühl's face, you will find that he is the leader of the Kazan Army who disappeared from Russia. General "Berezovka".

In terms of rewards, East Africa is still relatively petty. After all, according to the contribution of "Berezovka", a viscount is obviously not enough, but the current East African government cannot raise his title too high.

After all, what Brühl did in Russia was not glorious, and the Kazan Army he formed became a new warlord force in Russia, so giving Brühl only a viscount is actually a protection for him.

The physical reward is more realistic. One million Rhine guilders is not a small amount. Although the Rhine guilder is far less valuable than the British pound, it is also a currency directly linked to gold.

And one million Rhine guilders are enough to make Brühl a new rich class in East Africa, which is also related to the national system and policies of East Africa.

It should be noted that East Africa has only been open for eight years, so the rich people in East Africa are far less than those in traditional powers such as Britain and France. After all, the accumulation of hundreds of years is not something that ordinary people in East Africa can achieve in a few years.

Moreover, although Brühl played an important role in the robbery of the Russian Kazan Treasury, there were as many as 2,000 National Defense Security Bureau personnel involved in the robbery of the Kazan Treasury. With so many people, they naturally shared the "credit" this time.

As one of the best, Brühl's income is obviously more reasonable. Of course, the East African government and the royal family earn more. More than 200 tons of gold is not too much to make Brühl a duke.

Of course, there are a number of dukes, marquises and earls in East Africa. They are naturally more conspicuous. If Brühl is mentioned as a count, it will obviously attract the attention of some interested people, although the probability is very small.

When Brühl was in the Kazan Army, most of the Kazan Army members had seen his true face, especially the more than 10,000 Kazan Army members he personally commanded.

Ernst naturally did not want the theft of Russian wealth in East Africa to be exposed, so he tried to conceal Brühl's identity as much as possible.
