The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 226
Yuan Wenwu was inexplicably excited about his next destination:
"Father, when Mother was fleeing famine, she told us about Journey to the West. Tang Seng took his disciples to the West to obtain scriptures. The West Paradise mentioned in the story is Tianzhu. Before I came to the capital, I always thought it was my mother's blindness." Made it up, I didn’t expect that Master Tang Xuanzang really existed!”

"Hey, Dad, do Tianzhu really have scriptures?" Yuan Wenjie was also curious about how Master Xuanzang arrived in Tianzhu from the Tang Dynasty.

Heiwa: How could he know all this with a junior high school education?The daughter-in-law came to the story of the later generations when she opened her mouth back then. How could she have thought that the two children of the family would have these later fortunes.And there is still a day to come to Tianzhu?

Let the most knowledgeable Huang Shangshu answer the children's questions.

In the ocean in winter, there is little precipitation and the temperature is above 20 degrees. It is advisable to travel on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Food merchants and doctors are the main force to send off, and the smallpox vaccine has already begun to be vaccinated in the expeditionary force.

What kind of changes will the expeditionary force with sufficient food and not afraid of smallpox bring to the structure of Europe today?Hei Wa said he didn't know.

The big summer fleet departs from the port of Deyer, where the Gulf (Persian Gulf) is rich in various seafood and fish.

Among them, pearls are the most famous, and people who pass by here will never forget to buy them.

Imperial Physician Sharif lived on the No. [-] sea ship of the Great Xia Dynasty with forty doctors from the empire, ten pharmacists, and Shangguan Imperial Physician.

The exchanges and discussions between the doctors of the two countries have already started.

Faisal, a food merchant, brought a fleet this time, accompanied by ten sea food ships.

The shrewd Feisal, according to the purchase list of the Great Xia ship merchants, brought all the goods they bought the most.

Among them, the most precious ambergris was a generous gift they prepared for His Majesty the Great Xia Emperor.

As the best maritime trader in this dynasty, the precious commodities of Tianzhu in the past were almost contracted by the big food merchants.

They continued to transport those spices, gems, etc. from Tianzhu to European countries for sale.

There are still many big food merchants who live in Tianzhu all the year round.

They not only have shops, trade points, but also many manors in Tianzhu.

Let slaves help them grow cotton, pepper, rice and other food or cash crops.

The sharing of the voyage to Tianzhu is also their sincerity in being allowed to go to the Great Xia Dynasty.

For Gao Huaiyu and the others, nothing is more important than sailing safety.

They will enter Ravi (Arabian Sea) from the port of Deyer, and travel eastward to Tianzhu.

Yuan Wenjie and the others spent more than half of their time on board Feisal or the No. [-] ship.

The teenagers are learning Dashiwen in depth, and Feisal and the imperial doctor Sharif are also starting to learn Daxia Mandarin.

Huang Shangshu and several officials of the Lifan Academy directly lay flat, this is too difficult.

For them, it is easy to get tongue-tied, so let the young people struggle.

Thinking about spending so much time at sea, by the time they return to Daxia, these teenagers should be fluent in listening, speaking, reading and writing Dashiyu!

Qin Ke: Hehe, Li Fan Academy, you really don't behave like a human being!

Hei Wa felt that he should be able to relax a bit during this voyage.

Someone is navigating, and compared to the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, the Arabian Sea has the right time, place and people, and they can paddle.

Of the more than 1000 bluegrass trees dug up by the teenagers, none of them have died so far, and more than a dozen of them even have flower buds.

It's a pity that it was divided up by Yan Fuzi, Huang Shangshu and Heiwa, and placed in their cabin.

It is impossible to return before the end of the flowering period.

The two ponies get along like fish in water on the No. [-] sea ship, and the two dark horses are very spiritual.

Hei Wa smuggled space water a few times, and after giving them a drink, they clung to him.

The sparkling eyes are as crystal clear as black gemstones and as pure as lake water.

When I want to please you, my heart and eyes are all about you, and horses are so cute? !

Seeing Heiwa's description of his new favorite in the letter, Cuihua loves the house and Wu.

For these big food horses which are said to be very precious, a few acres of barley were planted in the space for them.

Knowing that the horse is young, the oats have been crushed.

Barley, oats, corn, fresh alfalfa, carrots and apples for snacks.

As long as Hei Wa has the opportunity to sneak across the country, these two ponies will be able to eat the most delicious horse food.

Therefore, Heiwa is on several boats every day, feeding various kinds in turns, and being a happy breeder.

Huang Shangshu envied Uncle Zhongqin very much, Uncle Zhongqin was so popular with these animals.

None of the alpacas, ostriches, and zebras were afraid when they saw him.

I can't wait to squeeze in front of him, I don't know if it's because the food in his hands is particularly delicious?
Breeder Zhongqinbo: Animals are not fools, they are smart.

If it weren't for the fairy water in his house, these small animals would have survived to the summer, and I don't know how many of them there are.

Easy and pleasant sailing, the end of the month is coming soon.

"It's almost New Year's Eve in our Great Summer, and we haven't been at home for the New Year's Eve for two years!" Huang Shangshu sighed, he had never left the capital for most of his life.I didn't expect that I was old enough to come out and go through such a journey.

Hei Wa also sighed: "Let's try to celebrate the New Year at home next year. Mr. Shangshu, who are you in your family? What are the customs during the New Year?" Can be more emotional than Huang Shangshu.

"My husband's house, when it comes to Chinese New Year, it's a lively event. My wife is a lucky person. I gave birth to two sons and two daughters for my husband, eight grandchildren, and six grandchildren. There are so many people celebrating the New Year. The old man gives out lucky money I have to send a lot. The youngest grandson, it’s only been three months since I left, so I can call him grandfather when I go back.”

It's rare to see Huang Shangshu have such a tender moment, talking about his children and grandchildren endlessly.

Just listening to what he said about such a large family, it seems that his son is not very promising, and he is all supported by him alone!It's no wonder that at such an age, she took the initiative to invite Ying to go to sea.

The old man harvested a lot of gems when he came out this time. Hei Wa and the others eat meat, and he can also drink broth.

This trip is far enough to cover all his previous salaries in this life, so he is very contented.

"It turns out that you Lu people celebrate the New Year like this, which is really different from our Shu land customs. On the first day of the new year, we all eat glutinous rice balls."

The more they talked, the more energetic they became, and they wished they could go home for the New Year immediately, which attracted Master Yan.

Mr. Yan immediately joined the topic, and in the end several people unanimously decided that they would spend the new year on the boat.

Feisal is also listening to Yuan Wenwu talking about a particularly grand and grand festival in their summer: Chinese New Year!

"We people in Sichuan will kill pigs to make bacon sausages from this month. Wealthy people will also wax chicken, duck and fish together. Well, after these are salted, they use fragrant branches Smoke it, and if it is so smoked, it can be stored for a year. It's a pity that you don't eat pork, and I say, pork is the most delicious meat!"

"Yes, yes, in addition to bacon, my aunt's steamed pork belly, salty roasted white, braised pork, and garlic pork ribs are also first-class delicacies, but you can't do without pork!"

All the teenagers looked at Feisal with a very regretful expression, as if he had missed the best delicacy in the world.

Faisal didn't regret it at all, he was a devout Christian, and his faith did not allow him to eat pork.

Camel meat, beef, mutton and sea fish are also delicious!

"In addition to making preserved meat, after the first day of junior high school, we also visit relatives to pay New Year's greetings. The elders will give us lucky money, and when we go to each relative's house, we will be treated with delicious food. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there will be Guessing riddles with lanterns, setting off fireworks, it's so lively!"

Now that their purses are bulging, they are no longer greedy for the New Year's money from their elders, and they can give New Year's money to their younger brothers and sisters when they go home.

"Chiliu..." Qin Ke sucked his saliva, and when it came to eating, he became greedy, "Let's wipe out Uncle's last ham on New Year's Eve, right? It's troublesome to take it all the way!"

"I think it's feasible! Seafood is also a must!" Isn't it good to eat early and late?They can think about it.

During the period of the Dashi Empire, the chefs in the Bofu used local materials.

I basically eat beef and sheep as the main meat every day. I have eaten greasy seafood before, so I can still eat it again.

There are no conditions to create conditions. On the New Year's Eve, all the ships of the sailors hung the Great Xia Dragon Flag.

And the lights that can be lit in the cabin are all lit after dark.

It only took two hours for the sea fishing team to gain a lot.

The slap-sized sea prawn had its head twisted and its threads pulled out.The scallops the size of a child's face are taken out as meat the size of a pigeon's egg after boarding the boat;
Remove the internal organs and cartilage of the squid, tear off the red skin and cut into thick strips or small pieces;
Sea crabs, only take the part with the most meat and keep it.

Uncle Zhongqin donated all the ham left to this day, and cut it into finger-sized pieces for later use.

The conditions are limited, so we have to use all the seasonings that can be used.

Put the olive oil into the pan, put the onion, garlic, pepper, and ham into the pan and stir fry together.

Then add the washed rice, add pepper, salt, and tomato sauce to taste, and finally add water.

After the high heat is turned on, turn to low heat, and when the water is basically invisible, spread all the seafood evenly on the rice.

And gently press down until it is half-buried in the rice, squeeze the lemon juice, and simmer for a quarter of an hour.

The crude and simple version, paella is out!
To understand the greasy taste, serve with: cold spicy bean sprouts, cold hot and sour potato chips, pickled olives.

The sweetness of the seafood and the saltiness of the ham, the combination of the two opposites, makes the rice soaked in these two flavors delicious.

The crispy rice at the bottom of the pot has become a snack after the meal, and everyone "creaks and creaks" chewing that one deliciously.

"The way seafood is eaten in the past is not as fragrant as tonight's, so it can go well with rice!" Gao Huaiyu made three big bowls of rice, belching to his heart's content.
