Chapter 823： Three hundred coffins

Top recommendations:

Marin sent people to study how to solidify maple sugar. Although maple sugar is called sugar, it is actually similar to honey and is liquid. Marin and Garland gathered all the master chefs on Cape Breton Island, and there was no way to turn maple syrup into solid particles. The use of saltpetre ice making method can actually freeze maple syrup, but it becomes liquid again immediately at room temperature.

"That's not right. I have eaten maple sugar cubes in a western restaurant in my last life!" Marin scratched his head a little.

In fact, this is Marin's ignorance. The so-called "maple sugar cubes" in Western restaurants are not pure maple sugar, but butter, granulated sugar and honey. They are mixtures, not pure maple sugar.

Marin did not give up, and took a dozen barrels of maple sugar just extracted to the north of North America and found Da Vinci ...

He believes that it was the masters of Cape Breton Island who were too inferior in level to get the maple candy. So he decided to find Leonardo da Vinci, the greatest **** of this era ...

As a result, Da Vinci and his wife Lisa ate half a barrel of maple syrup, and failed to make the maple syrup into a solid ...

Marin felt very frustrated, and it would be inconvenient to save it without making it solid. After all, liquids are more likely to deteriorate than solids. Marin remembers that the shelf life of maple syrup is relatively long, which can reach 4 years, which is longer than the 18 to 24 months of general syrups.

However, the shelf life of 4 years is high-purity maple syrup, which is basically free of impurities and moisture. However, in this era, it is difficult to obtain high-purity maple syrup. The ordinary quality maple syrup is no different from other types of syrup. Not only that, the preservation of maple syrup also requires a sealed container. After processing similar to canning, it must be placed in a cool, dry place ... In short, liquid maple syrup is not easy to preserve ...

In addition, the most important thing is that if the maple syrup is sold back in Europe, it is a bit unclear ...

You say it is sucrose, why not sell it as a solid? You say it is honey, the taste is wrong ...

If you confess the source, someone might come to **** Canada ...

Therefore, Marin was extremely distressed and did not know how to dispose of maple syrup ...

Fortunately, Da Vinci's family ate half a barrel of maple sugar and didn't eat it in vain. Da Vinci finally came up with a solution-since it can't be sold separately, why not mix maple syrup into other products and sell it together?

For example, mixing maple syrup into rye Erguotou (that is, whiskey), the taste ... much stronger than that with black granulated sugar ...

Moreover, the rye Erguotou doped with maple syrup will have a light amber color, and it looks good. Unlike the rye Erguotou mixed with brown sugar, it is a bit dark and the color is not good ...

So, the first use of maple syrup was decided-mixed with Erguotou to enhance the taste!

Then, Da Vinci suggested that you can mix maple syrup into food such as bread to enhance the taste. The bread is sweet with maple syrup and cream ...

Marin frowned at this suggestion. Why? The shelf life of bread is short! Without vacuum packaging, the shelf life of bread is only a few days. Adding maple sugar is not cost-effective. And if it is provided to the bakery, then the source of the maple sugar is unclear ...

"I'm just making suggestions, and you decide for yourself. It doesn't matter if Marin doesn't take his own advice. Da Vinci doesn't care. He saw his queen's bread with maple syrup and cream. He was half eaten, old The guy had a lot of sex, and actually made the bread into a little dumpling. Then, he laughed like an old child ... "

Marin looked at Da Vinci's mentally retarded behavior, but was inspired:

"Pinch into a small tuo ... compress ... yeah! Compress cookies!" Marin suddenly came to inspiration.

Marin remembers that compressed biscuits are the most important basic military food for the military. Moreover, the biggest feature of compressed biscuits is the long shelf life, which can reach more than 3 years. In fact, if preserved well, it is said that some have eaten for 10 years.

Marin now has oil paper in hand, as long as it is packed, presses out the air, and seals to heat and sterilize, so that the compressed biscuits can be stored for two or three years.

Moreover, the biscuits with maple syrup can greatly enhance the flavor of compressed biscuits and avoid uncomfortable eating. Maple syrup is rich in minerals, and it is added to compressed biscuits with little nutrition. Not only can the army use it on a large scale, but it can also bring a large number of compressed maple biscuits. Compressed biscuits with maple sugar will not only taste better, but also be nutritious.

"Very good, very good! With these two purposes, you don't have to worry about the maple sugar being used up!" Marin quickly took out his notebook and wrote down all of them.

Of course, with these two uses, the demand for maple syrup is actually not too large. Therefore, Marin adjusted the plan in time-no longer seeking to contact the Indians on the road, and a large-scale acquisition of maple sugar. With the greatly reduced demand for maple sugar, the maple sugar output on Cape Breton Island and Newfoundland is sufficient. However, if the technology of maple syrup is developed in the future, the Indians can also be united at any time to increase the output of maple syrup. Anyway, there are so many native sugar maple trees in Canada, and Indians do n’t like to cut trees and reclaim wasteland ...

...

After solving the problem of the use of maple syrup, Marin said nothing, and brought the Da Vinci family to the ship, preparing to take home. Because, Marin found too few people can communicate with him in this era. Only a genius like Leonardo can keep up with the advanced thinking of his traverser. There are many things that Leonardo has to do for him. For example, the new type of steering wheel requires Da Vinci's help. What kind of steering wheel did the watchmakers study before? It is actually a collection of gears and copper rods, which really gives full play to the expertise of watchmakers. However, the steering wheel system was not labor-saving and costly. Therefore, Marin intends to make Da Vinci a new style ...

"However, my steam engine application hasn't been done yet ..." Da Vinci objected weakly.

"Don't do it, that's not urgent now. Hurry up and go with me. If you don't accept it, you will be taken away!" Marin waved his hand impatiently. And Kahn beside Marin also rubbed his wrist, it seems that he really wants to come up and knock Ada down ...

Reminiscent of the last nightmarish experience, Da Vinci honestly went to tidy up and went on board ...

After arriving in New York, Marin was pleased to find that New York Harbor was already under construction. And Manhattan Island, which has now been reclaimed into an agricultural base, looks prosperous ...

After inspecting Manhattan Island and standing on the rooftop of the castle, Albert asked doubtfully:

"Brother, what is the island called Manhattan? Also, what is the name of New York (New York)?"

Marin froze, saying:

"Do you need a reason?"

"Isn't it necessary?" Albert tilted his head, his face puzzled.

"do you need?"

Albert retreated ...

...

"It seems that it's time to go back to Europe!" New York has seen it, but it's actually nothing. The old forest in the mountains is not much different from the forest area in later generations.

Only after boarding the Liberty Island where the Statue of Liberty was placed in later generations, Marin suddenly said to Albert:

"This small island is very suitable for a statue, a very large one ..."

Aibo nodded, but asked again:

"Statue of God or Jesus?"

"No, mine!" Malin Feng said lightly.

Albert immediately covered his face, and he felt ashamed for Marin ...

However, Marin asked blandly:

"Why? Have a problem?"

Albert immediately remembered that he was not only Marin's younger brother, but also a subordinate official of Marin. As a subordinate, you have to execute the will of the leader ...

So, despite feeling shameless, Albert replied confidently:

"No problem! In addition, I will arrange for those civilians to propose statues for you, instead of myself!"

Marin nodded with satisfaction when he saw his brother doing this. But he explained:

"The matter of the statue is not in a hurry ~ www.novelhall.com ~ You first lay the foundation on the island. After I talked to a carving master named Michelangelo in Italy, I asked him to carve. Then, use the boat It was transported here and placed on the foundation. By the way, the foundation was raised high, facing south. It is best to let the ships entering New York Harbor see from afar! "

"Yes, obey!"

...

After returning to Manhattan Island, Marin thought about it and called Albert:

"I'm going back to Europe, you arrange carpenters to build 300 coffins!"

Albert was taken aback:

"Brother, what are you doing with so many coffins?"

"I want to act for the Europeans! You also know how fertile and endless the land here is. If other European countries have coveted this place, it is difficult for us to resist. So, I want to exaggerate here The danger of making these 300 coffins is to carry them back for everyone to see. I want to make it known to all of Europe-the indigenous people here are brutal and fierce, and their fighting power is strong. In this way, they dare not covet this place!

"Understood!" Albert turned and called the carpenter to build the coffin.

Marin arranged for 300 soldiers to stay and counted as "death list." In fact, the family of these 300 people, Marin will soon send them to the Americas to reunite them.

Marin intends to hold a national funeral for these 300 "dead soldiers" in front of the envoys of various countries after returning to China, and try to make the situation as loud as possible so that everyone can know that America is "dangerous" ...

Anyway, no one will open the coffin to have a post-mortem. As long as the entourage is told, no one will know whether the America has really died of 300 North Sea soldiers ...
