Chapter 1239: Radish and Chinese Cabbage

Of course, this alone is not enough. Because natural sodium saltpeter may also contain magnesium ions, calcium ions and other impurities, it is difficult to separate.

Therefore, further processing is required. For example, Marin remembered a good way to purify saltpetre from the Ming Dynasty-saltpeter and radish were cooked together. Then, the adsorption of radish is used to further adsorb and remove magnesium and calcium ions to achieve the purpose of purification. The saltpetre thus treated is not easy to deliquesce. If it is stored in a sealed oil paper bag, it can be stored for a long time ...

"Yeah, I almost forgot the carrot!"

Malin slapped his head, remembering the sacks of radish seeds he had brought back. This is an artifact, not only can purify saltpetre, but also remove the smell of goat milk, absolutely omnipotent.

As it happens, radishes can still be grown in late spring and early summer. After all, the growth cycle of radish is very short, as long as two months. After two months, a large number of radishes will be produced.

Radish not only has a short growth cycle, but also has a large yield. Especially the large white radishes, the yield per mu can be as large as ten thousand catties. Of course, the white radish varieties in this era may not be so powerful, and the yield per mu is not so high. However, it is no problem to produce two or three kilograms per mu.

Moreover, radishes can be planted two or three seasons a year, and the total output is higher. Compared with potatoes and sweet potatoes, radish is the hegemon of production.

Unfortunately, radish cannot be used as a staple food, otherwise, you can crush potatoes and sweet potatoes.

However, although it cannot be a staple food, it is also a very good vegetable. Marin remembers that before the rise of vegetables in greenhouses in the later generations, he lived on Chinese cabbage and radishes in winter. Every winter, the northerners' vegetable cellars are filled with Chinese cabbage and radishes.

Moreover, radish can also be pickled to make salted dried radish, which can be preserved for a long time and used as a supplementary food for staple food. For example, it is good to eat dried radishes when drinking porridge or biting buns.

In fact, because there are no radishes and Chinese cabbage in Europe, vegetables are very scarce in winter. After thinking for a while, Marin decided to vigorously promote the cultivation of radish and Chinese cabbage in Beihai (he also brought back a lot of Chinese cabbage seeds).

Then Marin asked Angela to come forward and send him to reclaim a large wasteland to grow radishes and Chinese cabbage.

At the same time, each manor is divided into a few areas for growing radishes and Chinese cabbage.

In this way, the serfs of each manor in the future can also eat two kinds of vegetables that can be preserved in the winter, such as Chinese cabbage and radish. It's really not good. You can also pickle radishes to make dried salted radishes, and pickle Chinese cabbage to make sauerkraut. As for the specific curing method, Marin has brought two women from the Ming Dynasty back to guide farmers to pickle dried radishes and sauerkraut.

...

In fact, the use of radish is not only used to purify saltpetre, absorb the smell of sheep's mutton, and be used for cooking or pickling.

Because radishes can be grown for three or four seasons a year, and the output is large. In addition to the value of the radish itself, the radish leaf itself is also a vegetable that can be fried. Alternatively, it can be used as green fodder to feed animals.

In fact, eating carrot leaves is also popular among modern talents. In the past, farmers generally did not bother to ask for radish leaves, they were used to feed pigs.

In any case, it is useful to use radish leaves as vegetables, or to feed animals. Moreover, because radishes can be harvested for one season before winter, not only can they be used as vegetables, but also a wave of fresh green feed can be added to the animals. After all, there is no green fodder to eat before late autumn and winter. Being able to eat fresh radish leaves is also a VIP enjoyment for animals.

...

Because the spring ploughing had long passed, Marin asked Angela to call a large number of serfs in the name of the mother of the North Sea, to reclaim the wasteland, or to find vacant land and grow radishes and Chinese cabbage in the manor under the Huffman family.

In fact, Chinese cabbage, like radishes, grows fast and has high yields. The growth cycle of Chinese cabbage is also about two months, and the yield per mu is several thousand jin. Even in this era, it is no problem to produce two or three kilograms per mu.

Marin did not know how much shock he brought to the European turtles in the 16th-century Europe, where the radishes and Chinese cabbage he produced only cost a hundred pounds per mu ...

Later, the North Sea and later England competed to grow Chinese radishes and Chinese cabbage. These two vegetables have become the most important vegetables in the North Sea and the United Kingdom.

In addition, there is a passage in Germany and England-an uncle named John walked into a small restaurant and shouted "Mary, serve sauerkraut!", And then called "another dish of dried radish, spicy. ! "

Then, the southern Europeans of the later generations, when spraying the Germans in England and northern Germany, would say-"Hey, the Yankees who grew up eating sauerkraut and dried radishes" ...

Hundreds of years later, the most classic German cuisine is not sausage but sauerkraut and dried radish. Huaxia Northerners traveled to Germany and were very kind and almost thought they had returned to their hometown ...

...

In addition to a lot of radish and Chinese cabbage seeds, Marin actually brought a lot of ready-made dried radish and sauerkraut back to ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ As for fresh radish and Chinese cabbage, Marin does not. Because he sailed through the tropics, fresh radishes and Chinese cabbage could not be kept. Therefore, he can only bring some seeds back. As for the finished product, only a few jars were said to be pickled cabbage pickled in the old altar, as well as many salted radishes.

However, these salted radishes are not very tasty because they didn't contain chili (previously Daming did not have chili). But sauerkraut is very popular with Marin, because when cooking, Marin can add some pepper and ginger.

Because hiding in a secret house was boring, when Marin was fine, he called Kohler, Schwartz and others, plus himself and Kahn, boiled a pot of pickled fish in the house, got some skewers, and moved A barrel of dark beer came over, eating sauerkraut fish, skewering, drinking dark beer, don't be too cool. However, because they are together at night to eat sauerkraut fish, skewer and drink beer, Marin obviously feels a big belly these days-obviously, this eating and drinking method is too easy to get fat ...

As a last resort, after eating and drinking with Kohler every day, Marin did not dare to sleep immediately, but ran laps in the big courtyard of the house to consume energy. Otherwise, the general belly will come out.

The sauerkraut he "invented" quickly became popular in Beihai. First, after people such as Kohler and Schwartz had sauerkraut fish, they drove a lot of sauerkraut from Marin and cooked it by themselves.

Later, sauerkraut fish became a famous German dish with a reputation comparable to French truffles and foie gras. Then, this practice was passed back to China and became a famous restaurant in the western restaurant ...

Many ABCs with matching ratios will enter the Western restaurant, and they will snap their fingers and cry:

"Aiter, give me a German-style pickled fish!"
