Chapter 1020: Is the solar cooker a magic weapon?
Of course, the real owner of this Majiabao is Marin, and the future small owner is Ma Yun Mario who is still feeding. Kong Tai is just a manager appointed by Lao Ma. After all, Marin had no time to come here, and the pony was still young.
While cooking lunch, the people in Jilong Village were stunned by Kong Tai's methods. Of course, it's not that Kong Tai's cooking skills are amazing, but cooking tools ...
What tool? Kong Tai took out 10 solar stoves made of tinplate ...
The gleaming silver tinplate brightened the eyes of the people in Jilong Village. Liu Laogen pointed to those solar stoves and stuttered and asked:
"Kong ... Master Kong, these ... all ... are all silver?"
Liu Laogen thought that Kong Tai was here to show off his wealth. He threw ten silver umbrellas under the sun.
Kong Tai laughed and said:
"It's not silver, it's tin-plated tinplate!" Kong Tai was actually deceived. For the sake of secrecy, Marin told people outside the insider that tinplate was tin-plated. Therefore, Kong Tai did not know that the tinplate was actually galvanized. However, tin plating and galvanizing are very similar in appearance, and it is difficult for everyone to distinguish.
Liu Laogen sighed and said:
"Old deceased thought it was made of silver!"
Kong Tai laughed and said:
"It's nothing, it's just a cooking thing, it's nothing rare."
"Cooking rice?" Liu Laogen's brain is not enough, can this kind of silver shiny inverted umbrella cook rice?
Soon, he saw that a North Sea sailor put the dark pot on the bottom. Then, the tinplate umbrella was turned to face the sun.
"Do you not make a fire?" Liu Laogen could not understand.
"No, the soup in the pot will be cooked when the sun shines!"
Sure enough, after a quarter of an hour, the broth in the pot began to boil. The meat in the pot was venison exchanged by the Kangtai sent by the Jilong Village translator, using salt and the Pingpu indigenous people on the land.
"You can make pork without a fire! Is this a magic technique?" Liu Laogen was a little scared to stand steadily-mother, this is a big fairy ...
"It's not an immortal technique, it's just a skill of carving insects ..." Kong Tai explained lightly, pretending to be a comparison.
In fact, Kong Tai did not understand physics and did not know how to explain the principle of solar cookers. So, just fooling around. Speaking of which, when Kong Tai first saw the solar stove, he was as surprised as Liu Laogen.
This ambiguous explanation made Liu Laogen and other villagers in Jilong Village deterred by a severe earthquake. In their eyes, this group of foreigners knows how to do magic! Can't afford, can't afford ...
Even, many villagers bowed down on the sun stove and bowed down, as if to worship Daxian ...
In the mouth of the villagers, these solar stoves are not ordinary pot stoves, but legendary magic weapons!
After hearing the villagers' words, Kong Tai was dumbfounded. But then, he suddenly thought of a good idea ...
...
Afterwards, Kong Tai solemnly told (Fuyou) the villagers in Jilong Village that these 10 solar stoves were indeed magic weapons, made by their great Grand Duke Ma Lin, in order to facilitate them to cook a fire on the sea. . After all, it ’s inconvenient to cook on a wooden boat ...
Then, in the eyes of the villagers in Jilong Village, Marin officially upgraded from the big brother to the big fairy, and the people gave the nickname "Ma Daxian" ...
When drinking venison soup, the villagers of Jilong Village almost all drink soup with piety. In their eyes, the venison soup made by Fabao is the fairy soup ...
Since then, the shrines enshrined by the villagers of Jilong Village have added the Marin "Ma Daxian" card, and are tied with Buddha, Sanqing and Mazu ...
...
Kongtai Huyou people seem to be addicted. Next, he intends to jog the Pingpu indigenous people on the shore ...
So, through the translation of Jilong Village, he invited several Pingpu indigenous leaders near the Keelung estuary to come to the banquet.
In front of several indigenous leaders, Kong Tai once again performed the "miracle" of cooking soup with a solar stove. In order to fool several indigenous leaders, Kong Tai also pretended to read a few mantras and made a "giving up" gesture ...
And, this time, the pot is not boiled, but seawater ...
After a large section of Confucius' German Bible is finished, the seawater in the pot (which has been concentrated once before) will become white flower sea salt ...
After it was over, Kong Tai told the indigenous leaders seriously:
"You guys, this is how salt came from!"
...
Several indigenous leaders of the Pingpu ethnic group were directly frightened-Nima, am I dreaming? I actually saw the spell ...
The "master" named Kong Tai really can do magic, but actually used the "artifact" to make the sea water into salt in front of them ...
Then, a few indigenous leaders bowed and jumped at the ten silvery solar stoves, with fear in their expressions ...
...
At this time, Liu Laogen, the middleman, had a stomachache. Of course, he dare not laugh. Although he knew that Kong Tai was fooling the indigenous people, the magical thing that the solar stove could cook soup without firing could not be done. Out of awe of the "magic weapon", Liu Laogen held back a smile ...
In fact, Han Chinese such as Liu Laogen must have known salt cooking. But the indigenous Pingpu people on land didn't know it. Of course, they did, and the Han people told them. For example, some indigenous villages of the Pingpu ethnic group in Tainan have mastered salt cooking techniques. But this generation of Keelung is regarded as a remote area. The local indigenous people have little contact with the Han people and have little knowledge.
Moreover, the villagers in Jilong Village are not stupid. By boiling salt, they exchange the salt and the Pingpu indigenous people on land for resources such as venison, buckskin, and wood. Will they tell them the secret of boiling salt?
This time, Kong Tai told the indigenous leaders about the salt cooking process. However, the miracle that the solar stove can boil water without firing scared the indigenous chiefs. They naturally ignored the details of the sea water that can boil salt.
In the eyes of those chiefs, the salt was actually made by Daxian using the treasures, so high-end, no wonder it is expensive ...
...
Afterwards, Kong Tai made a friendly exchange with several indigenous chiefs "kindly". However, no matter how intimate Confucius was, the several indigenous leaders who were deterred were somewhat trembling. After all, Kong Tai is a ruthless man who uses the "magic weapon" method in front of them ... oh no, it's a fairy ... how dare they make it in the face of the fairy?
Seeing that the fire was almost over, Kong Tai finally showed his hand-he wanted to buy the land at the mouth of the Keelung River. The purchased chips are the salt produced by the "magic weapon" ...
In addition, Kong Tai also sent a few excellent hunting bows made by European craftsmen, as well as a few bobbins. With these elaborate bows and arrows, it is more convenient for these natives to hunt sika deer.
It should be pointed out that in this era of Taiwan Island, it was a very low-primary forest area. Although the local Pingpu people also have agriculture, their output is very low. Because they lacked agricultural technology and did not have cattle farming and iron farm tools.
Therefore, the local indigenous food source largely depends on hunting. The sika deer is the most important kind of prey. It is estimated that there were millions of sika deer in the jungle of Taiwan Island during this era. Indigenous hunting methods are inferior, mainly relying on javelins and earthen arrows to hunt. But the accuracy of the javelin is very poor, and the power and accuracy of the soil bow and arrow are relatively poor. Therefore, although there are many local sika deer, there are not many indigenous people hunting. Kongtai gave them excellent bows and arrows, which allowed them to hunt more sika deer ...
...
It was probably shocked by the "powerful magic weapon" of the solar cooker. After discussing with several indigenous chiefs, they finally agreed to sell a few square kilometers of riverside land on the east bank of the Keelung estuary on the south side of Heping Island to Kongtai. The original village there will be moved, and the price paid by Kong Tai is-500 pounds of salt, and those bows and arrows. At the same time, Kong Tai needs a commitment to continue selling salt to those indigenous villages in the future ...
For the requirements of these indigenous villages, Kong Tai was almost not a condition. Why? 500 pounds of salt, he can now be taken out of the boat.
Of course, it would be too hasty to pay 500 pounds of salt so quickly, and those indigenous chiefs might regret it. Therefore, after reaching an agreement with them, Kong Tai said that he needs to "give power" every day in the following days and use those artifacts to make table salt. So, it takes half a month to trade 500 pounds of salt ...
Several indigenous chiefs who were limped happily went back home ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ and Contai was more happy than them. Why? Because Marin said that the most troublesome thing about colonization is the difficulty of gaining a foothold. If you are attacked by indigenous people just after landing, it is very troublesome. Especially in places like Taiwan with dense jungle. Even if you want to fight back against the indigenous people, the indigenous people hide in the forest, you have no solution at all.
So, now we have a foothold on the land and build a castle before we can plot more land. The most difficult thing is to safely pass the beginning stage and complete the construction of the castle on land. Because, during this period, the indigenous people may attack you. It is difficult to resist if the castle is attacked before it is completed.
And now, relying on 500 pounds of salt and a few bows, he has changed to a large area of the Keelung estuary. How can he be unhappy?
And Liu Laogen is also very happy, because the area on the east bank of the Keelung estuary is very suitable for agriculture. There are too many stones on Heping Island, and it is difficult to cultivate many good fields. The land on the east bank of the Keelung estuary is an alluvial plain, which is a very suitable place for agriculture. Therefore, Liu Laogen applied to land, and Kong Tai also agreed, the two sides can be described as a hit.
After all, Kong Tai ’s activities on Taiwan Island ca n’t rely on the local people to transport food, which is a long way from the local people. It is best to produce food locally. However, colonists such as Kongtai would not go to grow land, so let the villagers of Jikelong Village go to grow land and buy food from them. That would be the best choice.
As a Ming Han, Liu Laogen was naturally very serious about the plot of the land and was able to cultivate with fertile land. They must be very happy. And to produce food, the surplus must also be sold. And those who have the financial resources to buy food on the island are undoubtedly a group of Kong Tai. Therefore, this is a win-win situation.
