Chapter 1490： Cumin and ketchup

In fact, Marin now has a large military gap. In addition to preparing 3,200 black soldiers for Ganfu Nobunaga, he also planned to build a 10,000-scale colony in the North American colony. In addition to being responsible for the expansion of the colonies in North America, this colonial legion will be transferred back to the homeland to fight when the religious war breaks out.

In order not to affect the development of local agriculture, Marin will not recruit troops locally. Therefore, recruiting troops from other states has become Marin's ideal choice.

In fact, Marin can also choose to recruit troops in Ukraine. However, Marin did not believe those Ukrainians. After all, the phrase "the heart of a non-my family must be different" is deeply engraved in Marin's mind. In particular, North America is a site far away from overseas. If it is handed over to the foreign army, what if the foreign soldiers are distracted?

Therefore, Marin can accept Ukrainian integration into the local society, but does not allow foreigners to stand alone in the American colonies. Even if foreigners are allowed to go to the American colonies, the premise is that the Germans and the English must have an upper hand. In this way, those of other nationalities will not be able to turn the waves. For the most important armed forces, they must be in their own hands.

Therefore, Marin sent a large number of men and horses to recruit soldiers in the southern region of Germany in the name of "replace veterans".

At first, many princes were not happy, but Marin explained that the first batch of veterans who followed him were older and wanted to retire, and those princes were willing to let go.

Moreover, this time Marin was smarter, and focused his recruiting efforts on the kingdoms of those church princes. As for the obstruction of church princes? This is too easy. It can be solved with a bribe. After all, high-level church leaders in this era love corruption. People spend so much money competing for the position of bishop, don't they just want to recover the cost, plus some profit? As long as Marin gave money, they closed their eyes.

The end result was that, with the exception of a few bishops from the princely families who were hostile to Marin, most of the bishoprics had released Marin's recruitment team. After all, money can make ghosts grind, and the bishop "give grinds" like money ...

After obtaining permission, a large number of recruiting teams were sent to various places to advertise and recruit new recruits. But Schwarz, who was in charge of the matter, sent in a recruiting team and discovered the difficulty-it seems that those princes have carried out anti-propaganda ...

The so-called anti-propaganda refers to the negative propaganda or defamation of Marin's propaganda. After all, those princes were not the same as Marin. Even if it was clear that Marin was allowed to send to the recruiting team, they would have sent people to spread the news and say Malin's bad things.

For example, in the electoral country of Saxony, the local government propaganda said that the army of the North Sea State does not regard soldiers as human beings. Moreover, they usually eat poorly, and often soldiers are crushed by stones in the bread when they eat bread ...

Although the recruiting team sent to explain everything, and come up with a soft "Kohler bread" proved that the Beihai National Army eat well. However, the young people of various princes still do not believe it. After all, in their eyes, the reputation of the local nobility is better.

The news came back to Aurich. Schwartz was so angry that he wanted to send a team of chefs to show young people everywhere what Chinese fast food is ...

But Kohler rejected Schwartz's idea, mainly because the cost was too high ...

First of all, there are not many chefs who can cook Chinese fast food in the military. If they were sent, what would the generals eat? Moreover, those chefs need a lot of vegetables and meat to cook. It is very expensive if purchased locally. Unlike in the North Sea country, because of the planting center, coupled with the large increase in fertilizer production, the cost is lower.

If you send so many chefs to make Chinese fast food promotion everywhere, the cost is too high, and the mobility is very poor, inconvenient ...

"Otherwise, use compressed biscuits mixed with maple syrup to advertise? This stuff is easy to carry and delicious ..." Schwartz suggested.

Kohler nodded, and Marin agreed. This year, the Canadian colonies sent another 15,000 barrels of maple syrup, all of which could not be used up. It was no problem to take out a large amount of maple syrup to make compressed cookies.

At this moment, Kohler suddenly said:

"By the way, this time, Cape Breton Island not only sent back 15,000 barrels of maple syrup, but also sent back several ships of dried salted fish. Otherwise, bring some dried salted fish by the way and show them to those recruited?"

Marin nodded, and felt that this was not bad. After all, Marin ’s colony on the Canadian side now depends on the world ’s top fishing ground, Newfoundland, and the catch is very high. If the fishing is open, it is estimated that the entire Beihai country will not be able to eat.

Moreover, it is close to the salt cooking base. It is very convenient to pickle salted salted fish. The salted fish is very popular in Europe. After all, there are a lot of canons during this period, and we need to fast for almost half of the year. During fasting, the consumption of "red meat" is prohibited, even for nobles. But fish are not in the fasting range, so this led to the prevalence of the salted fish trade in this era. Lüneburg also made its fortune by supplying salt for pickled salted fish.

However, because the price of salt is not cheap, salted fish is not often eaten by ordinary people in Europe, and it is generally used to improve meals. The people in the coastal areas are better. The inland areas can eat salted fish.

...

Therefore, Marin made a final decision-when he went to recruit troops, he asked the recruit team to put on a large amount of maple sugar compressed biscuits and smoked and dried salted fish. As long as Ken comes to the North Sea country as a soldier, he directly promises Dunton crackers and salted fish ...

It is estimated that this condition will be sprayed on people's faces when it is put into later generations. However, in this era, Zhente is a better treatment than the five insurances and one gold in later generations ...

After all, Dunton can eat salted fish, but that is the life that nobles can live ...

In order to improve the taste, Marin plans to send someone to Daming next time to find the seeds of cumin and bring it back for large-scale planting. In the future, sprinkling cumin powder when grilling salted fish will enhance the taste ...

"No! It seems that nature is native to Egypt ..." Marin remembered that it seemed that nature was originally from Egypt and then spread to the western frontier of China. So, go directly to Egypt to buy cumin powder ...

When the dried salted fish is roasted, sprinkle some cumin powder, and then sprinkle some chili powder to make a spicy dried fish, don't be too cool ...

Although it was not possible to have canned beef as much as later American soldiers, Marin felt that Dunton's level of spicy and dried salted fish was still wide. On this standard, it is absolutely dominant in this era ...

...

On the Cuban side, it seems that peppers have been imported from Mexico and grown. Once the scale expanded, Marin decided to produce paprika on a large scale and shipped it back to the local market as an important seasoning. Europeans in this era generally have a heavy taste. Pepper powder can be dipped in bread and grilled meat and eaten directly, and chili powder is not a problem ...

Well, there are tomatoes, it seems to be cultivated?

Suddenly, Marin thought of an overlord seasoning that would be popular in Europe and the United States in the future-tomato sauce!

Ketchup appeared very late and did not appear until the end of the 19th century. It was the old beauty that was inspired by Chinese workers who moved to the United States. In other words, it was the Chinese from Minyue to the west coast of the United States who brought the idea of ​​pickled tomato sauce ~ www.novelhall.com ~ and then it was used by Laomei and carried forward.

Later, with the popularity of KFC and McDonald's in the world, ketchup quickly became one of the most popular seasonings in European and American countries. If there is no ketchup, there is no famous French fries dipped in ketchup.

The sweet and sour taste of tomato sauce is very popular among European and American countries. In later generations, the Yankees like to eat tomato sauce. Authentic Chinese restaurants, when they arrive in the US, are forced to use tomato sauce instead of chili sauce and other original classic seasonings.

Many people feel unauthentic when they go abroad to eat Chinese food, because a lot of spices have been replaced with ketchup. But there is no way to do it-the foreigner just like this one, what do you do? Most of the Chinese restaurants that insist on the original taste have closed down hi ...

...

Marin suddenly felt that maybe, the tomato sauce business was quite good. Not to mention foreigners, I also like to eat french fries with tomato sauce. Just use tomato sauce to pour it on the bread, it looks delicious too. Many burgers will add tomato sauce to the lettuce to increase the taste.

While Europeans have not seen tomatoes, Marin can completely monopolize the production and sales of tomato paste ...
