The Rise of the European Emperor

"The Rise of the European Emperor ()"!

Of course Albert, the governor of New York, was responsible for planting sweet potatoes and brewing sweet potatoes. Albert, who took over the task, also looked confused - what? Can sweet potatoes make wine?

Sweet potatoes were grown in Colonial New York, not as a grain, but as a vegetable. After all, sweet potatoes can be eaten raw and cold, and they are also delicious when roasted. But it's used as food... Albert has eaten sweet potato noodles, which can't be made into bread, but can only be boiled into a mush. He has never tried pancakes or anything.

However, the yield of sweet potatoes is indeed high, and sweet potatoes can often be harvested in vegetable fields. Albert also agreed with Marin's plan to use sweet potatoes to feed the Taino people. Because it is indeed too extravagant to use wheat as food for the Taino people. It is rare for many small nobles in Europe to eat wheat flour, so how could it be squandered for the Taino who were serfs.

As for feeding pigs with sweet potato distiller's grains, Albert is in favor of it. After all, it would be too wasteful to feed pigs expensive wheat and not cheap rye. And if the pigs are fed with grass, the pigs will not grow fat. These days, not only Chinese people love to eat fatty meat, but Europeans also love it. Because they are also short of oil and water.

As the Governor of New York and the Earl of Philadelphia, Albert is not short of oil and water, but he likes to eat braised pork. Therefore, he is in favor of the development of the pig industry.

Coincidentally, the breeding of native Taihu pigs in Beihai has reached a certain scale. It is also a good choice to introduce thousands of Taihu pigs to the New York colony.

You know, raising pigs not only provides plenty of meat, but also leather and bristles. The bristle brush is a very popular product. Even the toothbrush, which is not very popular in Beihai, is also made of pig bristles.

In addition, what surprised Albert the most was the level of Chinese people's handling of pig offal. Although the Germans also eat pig offal, they usually chop up the pig offal and stuff it into sausages. But the Huaxia people are even more powerful. They can make pig offal into delicious fried pork liver, fried kidney and so on. What Albert admired the most was the Chinese people's handling of pig intestines. Germans eat pig offal, but not large intestine. Because the large intestine is a fecal tract, which is very smelly. Germans don't know how to clean the large intestine, so they usually throw away the large intestine. However, Huaxia's cooks (the family members of the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty in the New York Shipyard) were able to clean the large intestine quickly, and they could also make very delicious fried sausage, which made Albert unable to stop. That is, washing the large intestine is a bit of a waste of noodles...

But Marin told Albert that sweet potato noodles can be used instead of wheat or rye noodles, which can save a lot of cost. This made Albert overjoyed, after all, the cost was saved too much. You know, whether it is wheat flour or rye flour, the price is very expensive. It is too expensive to wash the large intestine. Therefore, it would be great to use cheap sweet potato noodles instead.

Marin also despised Europe. Until the 19th century, food prices were still so expensive. When the Corn Laws were implemented in England, the price of wheat was as high as 66 shillings per quarter.

That's 3.3 pounds per 25 pounds. On average, the price of wheat per pound is as high as 2.64 shillings, which is much higher than the current 5 pfennigs (equal to 5 pence) per pound.

That is to say, Liebig came out of Germany and came up with the theory of chemical fertilizers. Then, European agricultural production began to increase. But in the beginning, the primary fertilizers used were saltpeter from Chile and guano from the Chincha Islands in Peru.

At that time, the annual output of guano in Peru was about 300,000 tons, and each ton of guano was worth 10 pounds. Therefore, Peru at that time earned 3 million pounds a year, or 9 million taels of silver, just by selling guano. This meow is higher than the annual fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty...

But because the British monopolized the trade in guano and saltpeter, other countries did not benefit much. It was not until the beginning of the 20th century that the German chemist Haber invented the synthetic ammonia technology, which really changed the situation of European agriculture.

Therefore, there are indeed many German talents. It is said that before World War II, 60% of the Dynamite Prize winners were Germans. World agriculture also owes thanks to Liebig and Haber. Otherwise, the phenomenon of starvation everywhere in historical dramas will continue to exist. Therefore, it is not too much to consecrate these two saints.

...

Marin continued to explain to Albert about raising pigs, because raising pigs from sweet potatoes can be done on a large scale. Therefore, Marin plans to establish a large-scale meat processing plant in the New York colony in the future, mainly to produce meat such as sausage, ham, bacon, and bacon that are easy to preserve for a long time. Because North America is too far away from the mainland to transport fresh meat back to the mainland. As for transporting pigs? Cargo ships are not thick ships these days. The thick, diesel-powered boat is well-balanced, and the animals are fine with it. In the age of sailing, sailboats tend to sway from side to side due to the pull of the wind. Therefore, it is very unfavorable for the transportation of live pigs, and live pigs are likely to get sick and die halfway. At that time, it will be a big loss.

Therefore, Marin tends to process pork on-site into sausages, ham, bacon, bacon and other meats that are easy to preserve. Of course, it can also be processed into canned pork, such as canned pork with dried plums and vegetables. However, fatty meat cannot be canned. Otherwise, it is easy to have diarrhea after eating. Of course, it’s okay to eat after heating.

In addition, you can also learn from Laomei, grind it and add flour and spices to make it into canned luncheon meat that American soldiers hate. But Marin is not happy to use too many cans, mainly because the transportation is inconvenient and easy to break.

Now he doesn't have any extra metal to process tin cans, so he can only use glass bottles. However, glass bottles are fragile and inconvenient to transport. Therefore, Marin is going to learn from the future and get more pork jerky. Pack it in an oiled paper bag and press out the air, then sterilize at high temperature and seal it. Then, the jerky packed in paper bags is very convenient for transportation and storage. If it feels dry and hard, you can soak it in boiling water before eating.

"Huh? Soak it in boiling water? Hey, isn't this just instant noodles?" Marin was suddenly inspired and decided to make instant noodles!

The production of instant noodles is actually very simple, that is, fry the noodles, then dry and pack them. Marin does not have the conditions to produce barrel noodles, but it is easy to produce instant noodles in bags, and the technology is mature.

Moreover, rye flour is not good for making bread, but it can also be used for making noodles. In later generations, rye noodles are also high-end products because of their high nutritional value.

The noodles are easy to make, and the ingredients don't seem to be troublesome. Just add salt, pepper and other spices directly into the seasoning bag to ensure that the taste is okay. Maybe it can't catch up with the taste of instant noodles in later generations, but people in this era are not picky, and seasoning is good. As for other ingredients, Marin thinks that sauce packets are unrealistic. It is too difficult to pack sauces in oil paper bags. It is better to take out the sauce bottle when making instant noodles and dig a little into it. Then, pour some cooking oil.

Therefore, Marin plans to pack the sauce and oil in canned bottles, and unpack them when eating instant noodles. If it is for military use, it is enough for a squad to share a can.

Even without sauce and oil. After all, people these days are not demanding. Moreover, the noodles are deep-fried, which contains oil itself.

Then, vegetables and meat cubes are also easy to get. Vegetables can be dehydrated directly in oil paper bags. This technology is already mature in Beihai. Both the Army and Navy can carry large packs of dehydrated vegetables. When making noodles, soak the dehydrated vegetables in, just right.

And the pork jerky in the oil paper bag seems to be an instant noodle artifact...

So, Marin decided to make a four-piece set of instant noodles with bags of fried noodles, bags of seasoning, bags of dehydrated vegetables and bags of dried pork. It is mainly used for fighting in cold weather. After all, eating compressed biscuits in cold weather is not as comfortable as eating instant noodles that can drink hot soup. Moreover, the combination of meat and vegetables is extremely reasonable and easy to carry.

As for adding sauces and cooking oil, it does not belong to the four-piece set. When marching, each team can bring their own canned sauce and cooking oil according to their own conditions...

This is an upgraded version of eating, but in fact, the four-piece set of instant noodles is already enough.
