Hearing that "sago" was their main food, Liu Mingqi became interested again: "Does it have a lot of output?"
"A lot! If you cut down a sago tree, you can get thousands of kilograms of sago, which is enough for people in our village to eat for two or three days." When talking about the areas he is familiar with, Sadodo also spoke more smoothly: " There are sago trees everywhere on the mountain, and new ones are growing every year. There is no way we can eat them all! We poor people can only survive because of it!"
"Did you bring Simi here?"
"Bring it with you!"
¡°Okay, when you go back later, sell some to me, and I¡¯ll eat them too!¡± Liu Mingqi said with a smile.
"Ah?! How dare I let you, noble man, eat such vulgar food?" Sadodo shook his head quickly.
Of course he knew that this young nobleman was just trying something new.
But it¡¯s okay. If he had diarrhea or something, would he still be alive?
"It won't do much good if you feed it to a noble man, but if it has negative consequences, he will have to pay for it. How can this be done?"
Liu Mingqi smiled brightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll let the servants eat it first. I'll eat it only when they're fine I'm not a fool."
"oh¡¡"
Saduoduo had no choice but to nod: "Okay! But you'd better cook it and eat it."
"good!"
Liu Mingqi nodded.
In fact, this kind of sago is equivalent to sweet potatoes, and you don¡¯t need to take care of it. Just chop it when the time comes and start making sago using the sedimentation and filtration method.
Sometimes I feel that people in Southeast Asia are particularly happy. Not only do they not have to worry about the cold, they also have too much to eat.
There are endless fish on the seashore, sago, bananas, coconuts, etc. on the ground and in the mountains. Moreover, bananas have no seasonality at all. They can be harvested all year round, at any time. Cut it from the tree and eat it, right?
But why were there not many ancient populations in Southeast Asia?
The reason lies in their very backward medical conditions and very low birth rate.
Coupled with the various disadvantages of the tropical rainforest climate, such as mosquito miasma, etc., which exist anytime and anywhere, and there are no qualified doctors, all relying on wizards and hard resistance, naturally the life span is not long.
¡°Low life expectancy, low birth rate, high chance of child death¡ When these conditions are added up, their population is certainly not large.
Oh, by the way, they often have wars between tribes.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????What good population growth can we achieve?
The real population growth in Southeast Asia only started to improve after the poor Chinese people sailed south by boat, opened up fertile fields for cultivation, and brought medical treatment and various hygiene habits.
It¡¯s a pity that our Central Plains Dynasty failed to live up to its expectations at that time. It gave up so many good places in vain and looked down on the ¡°barbaric and desolate land¡±.
I bother!
???????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT Off out of China?
If it were replaced by the land of North America, it would be almost the same.
There are only three plains along the coast, and most of the rest are hilly and plateau areas. Fundamentally, China is not suitable for large-scale human survival, reproduction and development.
The establishment of such a splendid civilization is entirely due to the hard work of our ancestors, every drop of blood and sweat!
Liu Mingqi¡¯s desire to eat sago was certainly not due to greed.
He wanted to see if the sago could be preserved and transported to Dakang.
If the cost is low and it can be transported on a large scale, it can be used to make up for the food shortage problem.
I can¡¯t say that it can completely alleviate it, but it can at least have some effect, right?
Just like many people who travel through time, they buy rice from Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar and other places back to the Central Plains to feed the Chinese people.
You have to think of some way to help the people, otherwise you will really be ashamed of this time travel.
As for why Liu Mingqi never thought of buying rice from abroad before?
The reason is very simple. The people in these places now are the same as those in Southeast Asia. They just ignore the sowing and do not take care of it. The harvest depends entirely on God's will - just like the black corn in Africa today!
They only have some big landowners and nobles who will cultivate and take care of the land, and then feed the grain grown to the nobles.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? don¡¯t have enough for their own citizens, how can there be enough to feed the more than 100 million people in the Central Plains?
The other world is also oneThe 200,000 border troops, garrisons, and even the Forbidden Army in Yulin and other defense lines did not dare to move.
Hebei, which is adjacent to Liaoning and Shanhaiguan, is also on this line, so it dare not move.
This also makes the Northeast Liaoxi Corridor, which is currently being fought fiercely, lack of military support. Li Nanyuan does not have enough defense forces, so he can only transfer them from Lianghu and Jiangxi in the central part.
Originally, the neighboring Shandong and Anhui could send troops, but suddenly it was said that the Japanese were coming to kill them. How could the imperial court dare to cause any losses to Jiangnan?
So not only could the 200,000 people in Jiangnan not move, but the Huben Guards, the strongest overall force among the Forbidden Army, had to come here. A total of 20,000 people were stationed by Wanyanyi himself.
As for the northwest side, not to mention, a total of 300,000 people were on guard nervously, for fear that they would not be able to guard against the Xiqiang and Uighurs who might respond. It would be terrible if they came in!
¡¡
After recovering his thoughts, Liu Mingqi said to Sadodo: "What is that red hanging string you sold to them just now, and how did you get it?"
Perhaps because the previous communication was very relaxed, Sadodo no longer had the initial fear when he heard this topic again.
He finally figured it out. If this noble man had any ill intentions towards him, how could he give himself a pack of White Rabbit toffee worth fifty taels of silver?
How can someone as lowly as me deserve to be treated like this?
Therefore, the noble man must have good intentions, or he is very interested in the thing just now, so he brought himself here.
Didn¡¯t you see that just now he didn¡¯t mind being stepped on a few times, picked it up, wiped it and tasted it?
"Reporting to your noble lord." Thinking of this, Sadodo said in a polite tone, "This is a plant in our hometown. We call it the red devil because it looks bright and beautiful, but when eaten in the mouth, it tastes terrible." It's so spicy that many people's mouths swell because of it, hence the name.
Because there is no way to eat it, everyone picks it and uses it as a pendant to ward off evil spirits. This is how I sold it to the customer just now, and what I told him. Who would have thought that after he squeezed the red devil hard, he accidentally rubbed his eyes, and his eyes were stung. "
The red devil?
This name is a bit expressive.
Liu Mingqi laughed, "But what I just saw was a very fresh red devil. You came from such a far away place, how could you still bring fresh ones with you? Shouldn't it have dried up long ago?"
Sadodo said: "We will also plant some vegetables on the ship. I don't know who mixed the red devil's seeds in this trip, so by the time we found out, it had already grown.
Because it can ward off evil spirits, the captain and the owner asked us to keep it. I saw that it was growing a lot, so I picked some of them, put them on strings, and sold them for some pocket money. "
The young man nodded.
This explanation is very reasonable and interesting.
It is also a blessing for myself and even all foodies.
"How many are there?" Liu Mingqi asked simply.
After all, Sadoduo is someone who has worked hard on a merchant ship for ten years. How could he not understand what Liu Mingqi meant when he heard this?
He immediately said: "There are ten plants in total, and they are all ripe now. Sir, do you want them? I will get them for you when I get back."
Sensible!
Liu Mingqi was not reserved, nodded and said: "Go! Be careful, don't damage it even with the soil!"
"Don't worry!" Sadodo stood up and wanted to walk out.
But Dazhu stopped him, took out an ingot of gold from his arms, and handed it to him.
"this?"
Sadodo was stunned.
"This is the money to buy the Red Devil. We are all business people, so we can't take it for nothing." Liu Mingqi explained: "Besides, this thing is not yours, right? Don't you want to pay for it?"
Of course Sadodo has to pay.
He planned to give the boss of the ship a few White Rabbit toffee candies, so the Red Devil could get them.
"After all, this red devil is not the merchant's thing, but an unknown crew member who made it, so the boss of the ship has the final right to deal with it.
But no matter how expensive the White Rabbit toffee is, it cannot compare to this ingot of ten taels of gold!
It¡¯s already one hundred taels of silver.
Real money.
Sa Duoduo subconsciously wanted it, but didn¡¯t dare to ask for it.
???????????????????????????????????????????????
The red devil is not a strange thing at all, and the noble man was very kind to me before. He not only invited me to drink tea, but also gave him White Rabbit toffee. It is really a bit embarrassing for such a person to charge him ten taels of gold.
But Dazhu still put the gold into his hand.
"Go, they will follow you, go and come back quickly." Liu Mingqi said, "When you come back, I will treat you to dinner, authentic Dakang cuisine!"
"this¡¡"
Sadoduo smiled flattered, knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Mingqi, saying loudly: "Thank you, noble man!"
Then he followed Dazhu and walked out. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??I feel a little ashamed of myself, White Rabbit Milk Candy, for accepting ten taels of gold from such a person.
But Dazhu still put the gold into his hand.
"Go, they will follow you, go and come back quickly." Liu Mingqi said, "When you come back, I will treat you to dinner, authentic Dakang cuisine!"
"this¡¡"
Sadoduo smiled flattered, knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Mingqi, saying loudly: "Thank you, noble man!"
Then he followed Dazhu and walked out. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
