"Why?"

"It has to be Panama, because in the whole of Central America, only Panama is useful to us and needs to be fought for, and other places will be, but it will be delayed, and we need the Panama Canal. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

China Shipping even has to buy a century-old operation right for a Greek port, not to mention a super waterway intersection like the Panama Canal.

Descending from the volcano, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, it has entered the territory of Guatemala.

"Unlike El Salvador and Honduras, my Guatemalan visa is not national."

To enter Guatemala, you have to find a country that has diplomatic relations with China at the same time, and then apply for a visa in this country.

And the surprise thing is that if you're going to immigrate from China to Guatemala, you don't need anything.

If you are clamoring to immigrate every day, you can go to Guatemala without any formalities, it only takes six weeks.

The per capita GDP of this country is about 3,000 US dollars, but the rich are particularly rich, and the common people are particularly poor, which is the consistent South American custom.

The absence of Salvadoran chaos in this country does not mean that there is no black in this country, on the contrary, Guatemala is darker than El Salvador.

El Salva is a country with many murder crimes, Guatemala is a country where sexual assault is serious, and it is a ripe killing, last year, Guatemala had 4,904 teenage girls under the age of pregnancy, and most of the most annoying people were uncles and uncles.

However, it is much safer than that of foreigners.

"However, I entered from the wild, and the chapter that entered the customs was completed in advance, if you come to travel and enter from the customs, you should prepare a little money, they will definitely extort you, a dozen dollars can be done, how long you delay, you can't solve the problem."

The key point is that there is no diplomatic relationship.

Many people who like to travel abroad are discussing what visa-free things are going on every day, Guatemala has visa-free access to 140 countries and regions, if someone really thinks that they can give up their motherland for tourism, don't immigrate to the United States or Canada, just go to Guatemala.

You can be a Guatemalan and stay in Guatemala all year round, with 140 countries in the world rotating and staying in one country for three days.

"Like El Salvador, Guatemala is a country of volcanoes, and they are at the junction of three tectonic plates, but in terms of the frequency of volcanoes and earthquakes, they are far less severe than El Salvador."

Upon entering Guatemala, it feels familiar.

The earth is no longer the bright, abrupt earthy yellow, the trees are a little thicker, and the mountains are less strange.

The scenery of the lake and the mountains looks similar to some wild scenes in China.

Fang Hong walked a little leisurely in the forest, but he could still feel the aftershocks from time to time.

"Brother Gun, are you walking so slowly, are you looking for something?"

Fang Hong shrugged: "It's so smart, I'm looking for a chili pepper." ”

"What chili?"

"Chinese chili peppers."

“WTF？” Water friends are very puzzled, everyone knows that Central America is the origin of chili peppers, and they came to the place of origin to find what the stalk of Chinese chili peppers is.

Fang Hong laughed when he saw the barrage: "You misunderstood, the first chili pepper discovered in the Western world is called Chinese chili, in 1776, the Dutch physician Nicolas van Jacohan collected chili seeds from the New World (Caribbean) for the Dutch Emperor Francis I, due to the error of geographical cognition at that time, he mistakenly believed that this chili pepper originated from China, so he named it Chinese chili." Chinense is Latin for Chinese. The erroneous naming has been used for a long time and has become a conventional name. Internationally, Chinese pepper is identified as one of the five major cultivated varieties of pepper, and the other four are annual pepper, shrub-like pepper, berry pepper and hairy pepper. ”

Before the Age of Discovery, Europeans, especially the European aristocracy and royal family, took pride in using things made in China.

Wear silk in clothes, ceramics on plates, tea in drinks, and add sugar to snacks, everyone must read Marco Polo.

However, the establishment of the Great Arab Empire (the capture of Constantinople by Turkey and the establishment of a super-empire) blocked the possibility of Europeans getting their hands on Chinese goods.

The most powerful power in Europe at that time was Venice, which at that time was only a city-state and could not afford to cross the Arab and Chinese trades.

Of course, Europeans, who thought they had a glorious tradition, still believe that the end of the Crusades led to the disconnection of communication between East and West.

If you think about it, the Crusaders are a group of bandits who go to rob the Middle East and fail, to paraphrase the female bear looks at the hunter and asks, 'Are you here to hunt or are you here to sell?'

The truth is that Turkey separates the Eastern and Western worlds.

Therefore, the royal families of European countries began to support navigation, because the theoretical basis at that time was that the earth was round, and it was possible to go to China from the west.

First of all, Columbus, Columbus went to a small island in South America, and the crew said that the mission failed and did not find China, Columbus turned his mind and said that he did not find China but found India.

It's right to think about it, when Spain was just established, the Spanish royal family supported Columbus's adventure with a lot of money, and Columbus was embarrassed to say that he didn't find it? The fact is that Columbus had a good life, and later a large number of silver mines were discovered in South America, and the Spanish royal family would not care whether it was China or India, as long as there was money.

Columbus himself is not the legendary adventurer, but an illiterate, Columbus gave his own idea on the basis of the theory of the circle of the earth, he believed that the earth is in the shape of milk, the lower part is a hemisphere, and the upper point is heaven, Columbus is ready to use the money supported by the Spanish royal family to find the paradise of **.

Indians, in fact, should be called Indians, and in most Latin languages, the two words are the same.

Then the adventurers of the sea coachman Holland also went to Central America, and the Dutch adventurers thought that since the lump below is India, then from a geographical point of view, it is the legendary Great China, so they thought that the Caribbean was once the world-famous Quanzhou Sea, so they named this pepper Chinese pepper.

Over time, chili peppers have really spread to China, and they have become the most popular dish in the world today - Sichuan cuisine.

"This adventure, the most important thing is to find the Chinese chili, the chili pepper has been domesticated for 7,000 years, primitive humans know how to use this plant, and in the Mayan civilization, don't think that they are the chili pepper as a condiment, they treat the chili pepper as a hallucinogenic item, used to tryst with the gods."

Imagine a Mayan, swallowing a chili pepper raw, being spicy with seven meat and eight vegetables, then bleeding through a cut in his arm, and then falling into a hallucination, seeing the god of the gods, seeing the god Quetzalcoatl.

The original varieties of peppers we are talking about now are actually the original varieties of peppers when they were brought out of Central America, not the varieties of peppers in nature, at this time they have been screened for 7,000 years, and in the next few hundred years, the global pepper breeding is faster, and the changes in peppers in 300 years are greater than those in the past 7,000 years, and they are greater than those in the past 10 million years.

Fang Hong wanted to know what the taste of chili pepper was when it was introduced to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and then to Yunnan, Guichuan, and the people of that era made the first dish of chili fried meat.

"If you want to find the Chinese peppers, you have to find the Mayans who are still burrowing."
