Chapter 71: 1 plate of rice

After solving these problems, Marin waved his hand, trying to make Aben retreat, but Aben didn't move.

"What else?" Marin was puzzled.

"Yes, lord, Governor George asked me to bring you some gifts."

"Oh, what is it?" Marin was interested.

"It's 5 bags of food eaten by Indians, and 1 bag of ginger." Aben didn't know rice, so he used "food eaten by Indians" instead.

When the guards brought in 5 bags of rice, Marin opened the bag and immediately excited:

"Big ... Rice!"

Most people may not understand the excitement of Marin. You must know that Marin has not eaten rice since crossing. It has been eight years now.

So, after an interval of 8 years, when he suddenly saw the rice he ate every day in his life, Marin was excited ...

"Quick! Instruct the kitchen to prepare a pot to cook rice. Lao Tzu wants to eat rice today!"

After finishing, Marin directly left some dumb Ahben, ran to the kitchen himself, and directed the cooking ...

The chefs are all native Germans. Naturally, no one has seen rice, and they do n’t know how to cook rice. Therefore, Marin took command directly in the kitchen.

Half an hour later, using a cooking pot, Marin finally cooked the first pot of rice after crossing ...

At the same time, the chefs also cooked two dishes for Marlin.

Marin held the silver plate with shaking hands (there was no special bowl for serving rice and no porcelain), and spooned a spoonful of rice into his mouth ...

"Huh? Not right ... not like the taste of rice ..." Marin frowned. Before Marin did not look carefully, did not recognize those rice, in fact, they are relatively slender indica rice.

Marin's rice is rice in a narrow sense, actually called japonica rice, which is a common rice species in northern and central China. Its taste is soft and waxy, which is very popular with Marin. Rice in a broad sense also includes indica rice.

Marin's hometown is in the Jianghuai area north of the Yangtze River. People there prefer to eat japonica rice. When I was young, I also planted the hybrid rice developed by Mr. Yuan Lao, but the rice is not very tasty although it is high-yielding. Therefore, after the conditions in the family improved, no one had planted at Marin's hometown, and they all changed to planting japonica rice. Although the yield is not as good as hybrid rice, the taste is more popular.

The bowl of rice eaten by Marin is a bit like a hybrid rice that he doesn't like to eat. It is not soft enough. However, Indica rice is the best choice for fried rice because it is not sticky enough. Because the rice grains of indica rice do not stick together, it is more suitable for stir-frying. Japonica rice is more suitable for cooking.

In fact, japonica rice is grown only in the area north of the Yangtze River. In the Jiangnan region, most of the indica rice is grown. Because indica rice is heat-resistant. Even in tropical areas, indica is grown. The legendary Zhancheng rice, originally from southern Vietnam, is also an indica rice.

In India, there is no japonica rice. The rice imported from India naturally has no japonica rice that Marin loves to eat. Even if japonica rice is introduced, it can only be grown in temperate zones, such as North America, and is not suitable for tropical areas like Grenada.

Indica rice white rice obviously does not meet the taste of Marin, but Marin has not eaten rice for 8 years. So, he swallowed the big plate of indica rice quickly.

After eating, it seemed that he was not enough. He was very prosperous and drove away the chef. Using the indica rice left in the pot, he fried a legendary egg fried rice ...

Indica rice is not sticky, so it is really suitable for fried rice. Unlike japonica rice, sticky pots often occur. Marin easily fried a plate of egg fried rice with butter, indica rice and eggs, and green onions, and then had another meal. I felt very satisfied.

So, he told the chef not to eat brown bread in the following days. In addition to eating bread for breakfast, he had to eat egg fried rice for lunch and dinner.

The chef is also a little ignorant. Although they watched it all the time, they did n’t try it out and still had no confidence. So they dared and asked Marin for attention. But should you pay attention to cooking? Marin only told them that the rice should not be cooked or squeezed. Egg fried rice is not difficult, and with these chefs ’years of cooking experience, it should not be difficult.

As for cooking, this is easy, let them try a few more times. Anyway, this time Arben brought 500 pounds of indica rice, only one or two pounds of rice at a time, enough for them to cook many times.

When Marin returned to the office area with his stomach full, he found that Aben was standing there stupidly, waiting for instructions ...

"Why are you still here?" Marin asked in surprise. It's been more than an hour since he left the office, and the silly boy hasn't left yet. It's past dinner ...

"You didn't let me go ..." Aben grumbled.

"Uh ..." Marin blushed a little, and he remembered that he was only going to cook, and he forgot to call Aben back.

"This ... Aben, you are doing very well this time, and I am very happy. Next time you go to Grenada, remember to tell the old George, and say that I like this rice ... um ... rice ... tell them to send more Click here, understand? "

"Just like it, I will bring back more next time!" Seeing Marin happy, Aben was also flushed, and his light head was a little bright.

"Well, before leaving, go to Kohler to collect 100 gold coins. Come, I will make a note for you ..." Marin clutched his stomach and found the paper and wrote a note for Aben Go to Kohler to collect the reward of 100 gold coins.

Abon is also very happy about the reward. Although not too much, it is definitely a lot of money for a captain who has not yet won the title. You know, as the captain ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ although his salary is three times that of ordinary people, but only 36 gold coins per year. Counting the sailing rewards, there are only about 50 gold coins every year. 100 gold coins are worth his two-year salary.

More importantly, this reward is not only an increase in material wealth, but also an honor. Because every time money is rewarded, a certificate must be issued. This parchment certificate can be hung in the home as a display ...

This is also a kind of malice psychology of Marin, and some of the men's credit is not enough to confer the land. But without the title and the land, how to go out and show it? So, Marin thought of the common certificate of the last life school ...

The certificate of parchment is more durable than the certificate of paper. Hanging at home is also a display. Moreover, there are Marin or Jeffrey's signatures on it, which are very authoritative.

The certificate that Aben got this time to receive the award was Kohler's certificate, which was then signed by Prime Minister Jeffrey personally. It was used to hang the pendulum. It definitely had face.

Moreover, the Marin rewards are generally in gold coins. Unlike the schools in the previous life, what kind of pencils, books and other valuable things are rewarded.

The commendation, even people in the 20th century can live in vain (the 21st century seems to be unable to live in ordinary people, pennants can't do it), but it is still very useful for ignoring European people at the end of the Middle Ages.

For example, after receiving the Jeffrey's signed certificate, Aben was as happy as a child, and when he met an acquaintance, he deliberately showed it to people-Nima, why is it like the old man's first time in his life received the progress award certificate What does Shi Er's goods look like ...

Out of the breathable Marin, after seeing Aben holding a sheepskin certificate to show to the acquaintance's second plot, he suddenly remembered his own green onion in the previous life ...
