Chapter 332 He Wants Steel Chopsticks
This is the power of farmers who have received education and have been deeply hurt by famine.
Even though the Takagi Kingdom has faced famine, the upper-class ruling class is still in a state of intoxication, and its deliberately ideologically antagonistic style will only lead to one result - the people are in dire straits, and the land is wailing.
Whatever the Negan Empire likes to eat, the Takagi Kingdom cannot eat.
Isn’t this a joke about taking the lives of lower-class people?
But Zelen thought about it and realized that this was actually normal.
The upper-class aristocratic forces, headed by the Takagi royal family, are on guard against the people at the lower levels every day. They are extremely worried that the people at the lower levels will follow suit and suddenly one day gather a crowd to raise a flag of rebellion against them and attempt to usurp the throne. Therefore, the upper echelons of the Takagi Kingdom are of course trying every possible means to fool the people to ensure that the people at the lower levels are not capable of posing an obvious threat to themselves.
But with such a rule in the current era, King Junwu probably has to be mentally prepared.
It is very likely that he will not be able to take off the title of King of a Subjugated Country.
Under the pressure of civil war, the lower class people, especially those in war zones, must face the threat of famine.
In order not to go hungry, these hungry people will most likely throw the concept of "can only eat rice" into the sea, and begin to eat other staple foods collectively to satisfy their hunger.
As for not eating sweet potatoes...
Please.
You may starve to death tomorrow, or die directly from the flames of war. How can you still care about what you eat?
You must know that cannibalism does not only happen to wild animals, but even intelligent race life forms will have such historical cases.
So Donghyuk is looking at the sun above his head, not knowing that on the other side of the ocean, a country ruled by night is teasing him about whether he should eat sweet potatoes.
To be honest, he didn't want to obey the leader's orders.
However, rice resources have decreased as the control area has increased and the number of people taking refuge has increased sharply. Therefore, Donghyuk looked at the roasted sweet potato in his hand, he was very confused and hesitant.
He wants to eat rice.
Like those pig-headed people, they can eat rice every day.
He had to eat rice until the moment he died.
Without rice, what's the point of his life?
Obviously, Donghe is similar to the pig-headed man, and he also has a very obvious rice complex.
However, unlike the pig-headed man who had to eat a meal of refined rice, Donghe gritted his teeth and stuffed the roasted sweet potato in his hand into his mouth.
sweet.
This was his first feeling.
tasty.
This is his second feeling.
Sticky aroma.
This is his third feeling.
A bit sticky to the teeth.
This is his fourth feeling.
But as he ate, he still couldn't forget the white rice.
Even if the rice bran is not polished cleanly, he can accept it.
What's more, the sweet potato in his hand is a "vile" food that only women eat. As a man, he ate women's food and himself...
well!
Eat.
Now many more people have joined the Wanxi Liberation Force, and the rice that was originally abundant is now not enough. Therefore, sweet potatoes are always a hundred times better than poisonous potatoes.
Obviously, potatoes are treated worse than sweet potatoes.
It's just that this is a cognitive concept that only exists in the black-haired kobold society within the Kingdom of Takagi.
The Krorod Empire, which obtained sweet potatoes and potatoes through trade, was even more grateful to the Takagi Kingdom and every other country on the continent of Neoland that did not value these two deeds at all.
They deserved the famine, and they could never make the number of citizens in their country exceed 100 million.
But after Donghyuk finished eating the roasted sweet potato in his hand, he still felt very repelled deep in his heart.
Sweet potatoes are not for him.
Even if it can satisfy your hunger, it ensures that you have sufficient fighting power.
Even the dark spirits in the south have developed sweet potato powder and even dried sweet potatoes, a shelf-stable military food. This did not change Donghyuk's understanding of sweet potatoes and sweet potato products. Even if the caravans from the outside world said that the dark spirits in the south even had the skills to make sweet potato sugar, make wine, and pancakes, he was still not tempted.
】
The problem is, if he doesn't want to starve to death now...
Forget it, roasted sweet potatoes are definitely a simpler delicacy than the sheep-headed wheat porridge.
As a cannon fodder who had been under the hands of the sheep-headed people, Donghe couldn't help but want to continue cursing the sheep-headed people when he thought of the sheep-headed people's "fine delicacies", such as throwing a bunch of wheat into boiling water and cooking oatmeal. .
After finishing the roasted sweet potato in his hand and cursing some sheep-headed men, Donghe checked his equipment.
Compared to guns and bullets, Donghyuk is now more concerned about his tableware.
Ever since he seized a pig-headed man's lunch box and kettle during a certain operation, Donghe found that he still needed some simple tableware to help him eat.
For example, chopsticks.
But Donghe didn't want to use chopsticks made of bamboo and wood to eat like the Negan Empire in the south.
He wants steel chopsticks.
Yes.
Even Dong Hyuk, a black-haired kobold from a poor background, was also influenced by the female culture of the Takagi Kingdom, and he was determined not to use tableware made of the same material as women.
Of course, metal tableware has a disadvantage: it easily conducts heat.
Regarding this, Donghyuk didn't mind at all.
At least metal tableware is definitely more upscale than bamboo and wood tableware.
In order to suppress the people and reject the matriarchal social thought from the Nigan Empire, the Takagi Kingdom had to plant the seeds of misogyny in the people at all costs. As for what kind of fruit will grow from such seeds? Donghe is a good example.
As for tableware, metal is more upscale than bamboo and wood...
It must be said that in the Takagi Kingdom, there is aversion to women. Not only do they hate and have prejudices against women, but they also regard women as appendages of men. They will try to establish a sense of superiority through verbal violence and sexual exploitation against women, and the misogyny that regards behavior as reasonable has allowed the entire country to find a way to vent.
Because the Takagi Kingdom has been an illegitimate country from the beginning, and it is also a country with a long history of being a vassal state.
After a long time of being a vassal, there is a voice in the Takagi Kingdom.
I hope everyone can stand up and no longer have to listen to the orders of the outside world, and can dominate their own destiny.
However, the reality that the Takagi Kingdom is weak externally and tough internally means that such a voice is difficult to become a fact.
In the end, the title of "female hell" of the Takagi Kingdom cannot be shaken off. On the contrary, even the rebel leader like Nagamasa who realizes the importance of education, he also has a great suppression of women's rights due to traditional culture, and firmly believes that the truth that men are responsible for the outside world and women are responsible for the inside world is absolutely unchangeable.
Although everyone knows that such a trend of thought will cause a very bad thing. The hostility of the Negan Empire in the south, and various means of retaliation other than military and political means.
You must know that the Takagi Kingdom is not good at other things, but it is world-famous in cultural output, which has attracted diplomatic warnings from the two generations of the Queen of the Negan Empire.
As a result, the Takagi Kingdom has been forced to pay more tribute as compensation for its wrong words. At the same time, this is also an important reason why the Takagi Kingdom is increasingly unwilling to be a vassal state of the Negan Empire.
In short, Donghe always hopes that he can eat rice every day until he dies, even if he is called a "rice bucket" by everyone.
Rice is his soul.
It's that simple.
I don't know how those guys who eat wheat can ensure their combat effectiveness, especially those sheep-headed people who eat oatmeal porridge. How do they manage to kill the enemy with a long sword?
Long swords, which should not exist at all and have no value, are outdated weapons that are not only a hindrance, but also not conducive to modern warfare.
Anyway, Dong He now sees and knows that the most used cold weapon is the short knife.
Single-edged, good for chopping, with a short knife that can be stabbed.
After all, he is not using the short knife to chop people, but to clear weeds and open various cans.
That's right.
Open cans.
Since there is no special can opener or even a suitable can opener for the pig-headed man's cans, Dong He can only use a single-edged short knife instead...
