Chapter 2100 The Ming version of Katyusha rocket launcher - a swarm of bees
In addition to the four-piece set that is easy to preserve and transport, Marin also plans to develop canned beef sauce, canned mutton sauce and other seasonings that are easy to preserve. Of course, these canned foods are not convenient to transport. However, they are not rationed for ordinary soldiers, but for nobles and officers.
Of course, Europeans are not used to eating spicy food, and Marin himself does not like to eat spicy food. Therefore, this kind of meat sauce that is popular in Beihai Country does not include chili, but some pepper will be added to maintain a little spicy flavor.
It’s strange that Europeans in this era had a strong taste, but they were afraid of spicy food. Therefore, pepper, a slightly spicy spice, became their favorite.
The same is true for Malin. He likes to put ginger and garlic paste in the dishes, but he just doesn't like to eat chili. This is also the characteristic of Huaiyang cuisine in his previous life. It is light, but the taste can be recognized by most people in the world.
Therefore, the future canned beef sauce and canned mutton sauce will not be spicy, but have a little spice flavor. For example, add some pepper and dried ginger powder.
But it is too honest to use all the meat, so some soybeans and peanuts will be added to it at that time. Especially peanuts can enhance the fragrance.
At that time, when you are instant noodles, pour in fragrant and delicious peanut meat sauce, which will definitely increase the deliciousness of instant noodles by several levels.
Of course, this is actually a helpless choice. After all, there are no frozen boats or freezers these days, so they can only preserve meat in this way for a long time. Especially meat produced in the Americas and meat produced in Australia in the future can only be preserved and transported back to the local area in this way.
However, in the future, North American bison will provide a large amount of meat. That is tens of millions of North American bison, each weighing about one ton, or at least thousands of pounds of meat.
In addition to meat, cow skin, cattle internal organs, etc., can be of great use. Marin has sent hundreds of Cossacks to the Gulf Coast to find landing sites, and then headed inland to hunt North American bison.
But how much beef can those hundreds of Cossacks eat? Killing a bison is enough for them to eat for two days. So, Marin decided to send a processing team to make beef sauce on site with soybeans, peanuts and various seasonings. Of course, a large amount of wide-mouthed glass bottles, as well as corks and beeswax, are needed for sealing and preservation.
In order to get enough glass bottles, Marin prepared to build a new large glassware factory, specializing in the production of canned bottles. The corks are easy to deal with, and imports are just. As for beeswax, they can also be imported from the Baltic region.
But Marin feels that with the development of Beihai's industry in the future, the demand for canned food will definitely increase greatly. At that time, the demand for corks and beeswax will also increase greatly. Therefore, Marin decided to find areas similar to Portugal's climate and plant cork oaks on a large scale to prepare for future needs. In addition to encouraging the development of beekeeping. In addition to obtaining honey, it can also obtain useful beeswax.
Some people may say that sealing mud can also replace beeswax. However, sealing mud is prone to cracking, so it is not as good as beeswax. Beihai Country only chooses to use sealing mud when it is to preserve cheap materials such as fresh water. Of course, sealing mud is sometimes used in wine jars that preserve white wine. But for smaller cans, try to use beeswax.
As for using rubber as a bottle plug... Well, rubber plugs have a smell and can easily cause food to taste. Therefore, try not to use rubber plugs when preserving food.
...
On this day, Marin was processing documents in the office, and at the same time wrote a plan to build a new glass bottle factory, as well as promote the planting of cork oak and the development of beekeeping. At this time, a big man with a beard and fur face suddenly broke into the office, picked up Marin and walked around for several times.
Marin was so scared that he almost shouted, "Brother Jie, don't want it." It was not until this big man with a big face spoke that Marin felt relieved:
"Young master, I'm back!" Hearing the voice, it turned out to be Kahn.
"Hu——" Ma Lin breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a random face:
"Why did you come back? Noel has been back for more than ten days, but his ship was deliberately slowing down. Where did you go to waft?"
Mao Face Kahn said aggrievedly:
"I just went around New York, so I delayed some time. And if I came back too early and the boat and Noel's boat would be in trouble?"
"Oh..." Marin nodded, then sat down and wrote the plan again, ignoring this guy.
However, Kahn probably had been away for too long and had a lot of things to say, so he sat next to Marin, chatting and talking nonstop. He mainly talked about the practice and final performances on the set over the past few months, as well as his experiences in the New York colony.
After the nonsense, Kahn said as if he was offering treasures:
"Master, this time I went to the shipyard in Long Island, New York, and found something very interesting. I specially brought it to you. This thing is amazing!"
"What?" Malin asked casually without raising his head.
"Feng..." Kahn's tongue was a little big when he said it.
"What's the matter?" Marin didn't hear it clearly.
"Yi-bed Feng, this is the name of Chinese people, probably that's it. I'll get the sample and bring the craftsman here..."
After a while, Kahn carried a long hexagonal wooden tube in, followed by a timid Ming Dynasty man.
"The little Ke Laowu, the former craftsman of the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard in Nandu, kowtow to the emperor! Long live my emperor!" This Ke Laowu probably had read too much opera. When he saw Ma Lin, he immediately bowed three times and bowed nine times. Moreover, he called the king the emperor.
"Please flat..." Marin was speechless and was not used to this title. Moreover, he was not used to being bowed to others.
After Ke Laowu got up, he immediately stepped aside and didn't dare to raise his head. Kahn opened a cover on the wooden tube and showed the wooden tube in front of Marin.
"I'll go... Isn't this a swarm?" Marin blurted out, in Mandarin.
At this time, Ke Laowu raised his head and said:
"Your Majesty has good eyesight. This is indeed the weapon of the Ming Dynasty's Shenji Camp - a swarm of rushing!"
Malin looked at Ke Laowu and then asked in confusion:
"Isn't Shenji Camp in Beidu? How could you, a shipbuilder from the treasure shipyard in Nanjing, build this thing?"
Ke Laowu raised his head and bowed:
"Go back to Your Majesty, this cradle was invented when the capital of Nanjing was established in the Ming Dynasty. Later, Emperor Chengzu moved the capital to Beidu and took away most of the firearm craftsmen, but some of the craftsmen were left in Nanjing. The young father-in-law was a firearm craftsman in the Ministry of War of Nanjing. He had no son and only had a daughter's wife. So, before his death, he passed the craftsmanship to the vil. He heard that Huang Sanxi had been appreciated by Prince Ai (Albert) because of the paper armor, and brought back to Kyoto. The cradle also wanted to make a comeback, so he offered this cradle, hoping that Your Majesty would like it!"
