Chapter 357 His Ancestors Were Not Surnamed Dai

When time goes back to the forty years after the establishment of the Krulod Empire, the Krulod Empire was already in the period of the second generation of emperors who were ruling in name only. The first emperor at this time must not have passed away, and he was only 40 years old.

He could completely continue to take on the duties of an emperor.

However, this so-called emperor not only stayed away from military and political affairs (in fact, there was no place for him to speak, and the biggest function of the puppet emperor was to serve as a high-end vase-a beautiful decoration), but also began to grow mustard in a field not far from the palace. Therefore, from this time on, the Dai family royal family began to sell mustard and a yellow mustard sauce that was said to have been learned from the Nigan Empire and improved according to their own taste.

Let’s not talk about mustard, which is still a common vegetable for many people in the Krulod Empire. Its rhizomes are also used to make special pickled vegetables or feed according to the preferences of the people. But yellow mustard is the first seasoning in the Krulod Empire that is made from plant seeds, specially ground and has a spicy taste.

Compared to the peppers that came across the ocean through international trade later, the mustard sauce from the royal family made the people today love and hate it in a certain sense. Especially until now, the salads and even bread of the Crurod Empire are simply sorry for every domestic diners without yellow mustard.

As for the spicy taste, sorry, Zelun can only say that the taste of the people is getting more and more novel every day. Even now, Zelun knows that Natalie and Naseri like horseradish, which is more spicy. It is said that it was originally a weed in the farmland and even pests did not visit it. It is used as a stronger raw material for yellow mustard.

This, he can't stand it.

Just yellow mustard, ordinary yellow mustard ground from mustard seeds, don't put other weird things in it. Eating is not to seek trouble, even if it is to satisfy your curiosity.

At most, he can only accept ordinary yellow mustard sauce with some ginger powder, garlic and other things added to it.

Of course, in the final analysis, no citizen of the Krurod Empire, or even the upper-level noble officials, would think that yellow mustard is a unique ingredient of the court.

For no other reason, mustard is one of the cheap vegetables in the streets and alleys of the Krurod Empire, and it is really not difficult to grow.

The only thing is how to use mustard seeds, which is the biggest watershed.

At that time, the first emperor was a person with a heavier taste, and he had been complaining about the dishes without salt and oil in the court life for a long time.

As a result, when he took the initiative to abdicate to his eldest son, he devoted his whole mind to how to make yellow mustard sauce. Although the matter is not very important, it is also worthy of being written in history books; but Zelun thinks that his ancestors are a role model worth remembering.

Especially at that time, although the Krurod Empire had temporarily recovered from the pursuit of the human forces in the north, the Krurod Empire, which was established too short, had been fighting against the cannibals who had not been completely cleared up now. Even due to the geographical reasons of the archipelago, the Krullod Empire's land resources are quite precious, and it has to repeatedly consider the land.

During this period, in addition to the work of dividing provinces and even urban areas according to local conditions, how to develop agriculture has become a top priority for the country.

As a result, everyone's opinions at the time were also very simple.

What is easy to grow, what has a high harvest, and what is easy to take care of. So the Japanese wheat people, as an intelligent race that originally relied on eating bread made of wheat to fill their stomachs, were transformed by the geographical environment into an intelligent race that eats rice.

At the same time, it was at that time that the Krullod Empire officially contacted the Negan Empire. As one of the cheap commodities, mustard and grinding mustard seeds to make sauce naturally took root in the Krullod Empire.

That's right.

Eating mustard sauce itself is actually one of the dietary behaviors from the Negan Empire. But the yellow mustard sauce of the Negan Empire is not very flavorful, and it pursues the fragrance too much. Therefore, the Krullod Empire will tinker with yellow mustard sauce on its own, and then make its own characteristic yellow mustard sauce a common condiment for the people.

However, compared to the yellow mustard sauce made by the first emperor of the Krulod Empire, the pig-headed emperor of the Akitsu Empire is the type who has everything he wants. Even though the soldiers below were angry because they had no refined rice to eat and launched a "military remonstration" to "clean up the emperor's side", their emperor, in order to highlight his noble status, had to ask his officials to make a green wasabi sauce as a royal tribute.

Wasabi is definitely not a common fruit and vegetable in the Akitsu Empire. And this thing needs shark skin to make sauce, yes, a tool for grinding shark skin.

It has to be said that the emperor of the Akitsu Empire really knows how to enjoy himself. No wonder the soldiers below have been doing something to overthrow the emperor, and they have used force to tell the emperor, who lives a luxurious life, that it is time to control his words and deeds.

In this regard, Zelun can only say that the emperor is not a person who has to ask about everything and intervene in everything. What's more, the emperor of the Krulod Empire, tracing back to the source, originally had no power.

It is better to make more money with mustard sauce than to do nothing and become a decoration. Moreover, the emperor of the Krurod Empire does not violate the laws of the Krurod Empire if he wants to do his own thing. It is just that there are factions in the Krurod Empire that need the emperor to mediate.

Even if everyone can guess, mediating the conflicts between the parties is a compromise.

Therefore, the first dozen emperors of the Krurod Empire basically chose to abdicate when their eldest son was about 20 years old and they had many grandchildren, and then continued to sell mustard sauce or engage in some very ordinary small businesses.

For example, the simple pickled sauerkraut, the reason why the people of the Krurod Empire later creatively invented the sauerkraut soup and stewed meat slices, is that the appearance of sauerkraut and its necessary food for the sailors of the Krurod Empire started.

In any case, on a long voyage, if the food carried cannot be stored for a long time and is not processed to prevent it from rotting, then the Krurod Empire will never be able to give birth to the shipping industry. As for the race that can come up with fermented fish to reduce salt consumption, in Zelun's eyes, they are all abnormal things.

Even though there were spells and things called refrigerators later, bacon and pickled cabbage did not bid farewell to the sailors' menu. Even though the current navy officers and soldiers don't want these two things anymore, they don't even want them to exist. However, the lessons left by history always have their reasons for existence.

What's more, bacon and pickled cabbage are the only two things that can absolutely guarantee everyone's survival at sea.

Zelun can only say that the initial development of the Dai family was very humble, so humble that it was originally just a mascot, pretending to be noble, and then looking for various opportunities to avoid becoming a member of the royal family. It was an accident that the royal family could develop a tyrant like his grandfather.

As everyone guessed, the royal family is not a free place. Especially the royal family of the Krurod Empire was originally just a puppet pulled out by a group of civil officials and generals and forced onto the throne.

Therefore, the royal family has so many rules that Zelen has to marry more wives to support the number of males in the royal family. Therefore, including Paula, they will not take any protective measures. As long as there is a new life, they will give birth to the children one by one. Therefore, Paula really doesn't mind sleeping with him every night.

Otherwise, the royal family of the Krurod Empire...

Let's put it this way.

In fact, Zelen knows very well that the Dai family was originally a royal family that was pulled out. In other words, the ministers below can also pick someone to be the emperor at will, so as to change the dynasty. What's more, what surname...

After all, Zelen himself knows that his ancestors are not surnamed Dai.
