Ask, what is the indicator of the level of development of a civilization? Is it the level of industrialization? No, absolutely not, that is the arrogance that only modern civilization has. The real reference value is the food.

Human beings need three things to survive: air, water, and food. But there is only one thing that really needs to be actively obtained, and that is food, and in general, water should be classified as food.

To look at the level of a civilization, you only need to look at the diversity of food varieties. Once upon a time, the only thing people wanted from food was to be able to eat it. People collect wild fruits, collect plant seeds, catch insects, catch small animals. Then, all the way up to hunting large animals, growing their own food, and domesticating animals. Along with the food upgrade, there are also food patterns.

It can be explained that from an energy point of view, eating raw is actually a means of maximizing the use of food. But when cooked, it tastes good, and it's easy to digest, and when sprinkled with a little salt, it tastes even better.

Gradually, the cooking methods became more and more diverse, and the cooking techniques became more and more complicated. People began to be more and more picky, not eating the parts that were not delicious, eating the parts that were not good-looking, and then developing to the point that they were not healthy enough to eat.

In fact, generally speaking, if you just eat at home, very few people use complex cooking techniques. But business practices are different, in order to attract more people in a limited customer base, restaurants must constantly improve their technology and use more tricks to attract people.

However!

First of all, the food supply must be diversified.

For example, there is a thing that is a specialty of Yannan City, and only people in Yannan City will buy it at a relatively low price.

Sugar.

The sugar supplied to Yannancheng is not white sugar, but unfiltered jaggery sugar, which looks average, but there is no difference in sweetness, and it also has a sugarcane aroma. In a world where manual labor still dominates production and life, sugar, which can quickly replenish physical strength in a matter of minutes, has become a favorite food.

Therefore, in the snack street, the processing of sugar food is a subject that tests almost every restaurant.

And because of the characteristics of sugar, almost any food will be particularly delicious as long as sugar is added. In order to satisfy the needs of businessmen who travel from south to north, some shops have invented fried sugar cakes, which are dehydrated at high temperatures, and this thing will not spoil for a month. It is most suitable for merchants to carry, and it has become a signature snack here.

- This was not invented by Gao Li, but naturally formed.

In any kind of place where the flow of goods is fast, a kind of signature fast food will naturally be formed, such as the well-known grilled chicken roast chicken and large plate chicken, almost all of which have developed with the railway. At this time, in Yannan City, it was also accompanied by the demand of merchants, forming its own food pedigree.

Today's snack street is more deserted than in the past, after all, the war is cloudy, and the merchants are rarely quiet at this time. There were only a few chatting with the owner in the restaurant. At this time, seeing Ling Long and Nonoka walking in with a group of eagle demons, many people glared angrily.

Then, in the shadow of the shop, Yaya's thief's voice came: "Don't keep a straight face, relax, let those dirt buns who come from afar see the advancement of our Yannan City." ”

Who doesn't know Yaya all the year round in Yannan City? Who can't hear her very characteristic voice? As soon as they hear Yaya say this, these people will all come to their senses.

The mood suddenly brightened.

【】

Bendoma was in a bad mood at this time.

Very bad.

He really didn't expect that this goddess would say that they were not gods, they were not omnipotent. Moreover, he said it in front of all the Eagle Demon Warriors.

After so many years of faith, it is scattered?

So what have we done over the years?

This cognitive impact made Bendoma's spirit a little confused, and he even began to doubt life.

Like many people in the church, he grew up in the church, listening to God's deeds and longing for God. But now, the goddess is right in front of her, and she says she's not?

Bendom wanted to shout 'False God!', but he couldn't say it. Because people have already said that they are not gods, but just a celestial, a celestial from another world.

Bendom is not a fool, nor is he a fool, and there are all signs that this goddess ...... No, the celestial man is not lying. He could feel the divineness—or the fluctuations of true qi peculiar to celestial beings. Her words are far more real than the so-called gods who are high up and cannot be touched.

Could it be that the Archbishop really deceived us?

The archbishop, the sole leader of all the churches in the Western continent, these bishops who govern the churches everywhere come from the training and education of the archbishops. And all the things that are said about God come from the archbishop alone. There is only one archbishop in the church, and when a new archbishop is elected, the old bishop will lead him to the ascension chamber, where legend has it that they will enter heaven and be with God, only the new episcopal church will come out of it, and the whole process will take days, no one will see it, and no one will know how it will happen.

Once upon a time, Bendom was looking forward to being able to walk into that room.

But now, Bendom suddenly felt a chill.

If God is not God, then what is our faith for?

"It's here. Noroka led the group to a rather large restaurant, where two merchants were sitting, and they were chatting, and when they saw the eagle demon and them enter, they did not have the slightest look on their faces.

"Shopkeeper, get something to eat and entertain the guests who have come from afar. Nonorka said.

"Okay, Rank, what do you want to eat?" asked the owner and chef.

"Something, something. Nonorka said.

"Whatever, it's simple. Nonoka said with a smile.

The shopkeeper understood.

"Haha, we're just a small shop here, and we don't have anything to eat, even if you want something hearty, we don't have it. ”

The shopkeeper came to the back kitchen, and through another door, the shopkeepers of the surrounding shops came.

The shopkeeper cleared his throat and said:

"Gentlemen, some of us are natives of Yannan City, and some of us have come from Yanan to pan for gold. Before that, none of our lives were as good as they could be. It is this city, it is Lord Gao who gives us the opportunity to make money. Before I came to this city, I couldn't even imagine that I would have such a large store and be able to save so much silver. And now, under the leadership of Lord Gao, I not only dare to think, I dare to do!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's battle is not my own battle. Today's restaurant is not my own restaurant. The face of my Yan Nancheng is tied to our hands. The two princesses are looking at us, and the prince is counting on us! On weekdays, you and I are intriguing, quarreling and scolding the streets, but today, it is the time for you and me to let go of our prejudices! In this battle, we can only win, not lose! Today, we must let these birds understand what it means to go to the city!"

The rapid accumulation of wealth gave these people a strong sense of belonging to the city and the motivation to fight.

Serving food to these businessmen who are racing against time is a matter of speed. Now, there are so many helpers in the back kitchen, and all kinds of dishes are richer, with both speed and variety.

And the eagle demons at the table also really opened their eyes.

All kinds of snacks and delicious snacks. Some are sweet, some are refreshing, some melt in the mouth, and some are chewy. The eagle demons had beaks and teeth in their mouths, and they could feel the complex taste of this completely different food spreading through their mouths.

It was completely unattainable in their hometown.

Bendom lifted a crystal clear piece with some diced fruit suspended in it with a spoon and asked, "What is this?"

The shopkeeper on the side smiled and said: "This is crystal jelly, select the best pork skin, scrape the skin, boil for two quarters of an hour, then shave the grease, then shred, simmer for three hours on low heat, filter out the purest soup, add a lot of sugar and stir, cut the prepared fruit into cubes, sprinkle it evenly, and put it under the cold ice for two hours." ”

"Pigskin?" the group looked at each other.

For these eagle demon warriors, the biggest use of pigskin is to boil pigskin glue. The longbow behind them was glued with pigskin glue. For them, pig skin glue is a very important strategic material, which must be stored, how can they be willing to take it to eat?

Bendoma puts a piece in his mouth, it melts in his mouth, sweet, with a rich fruity aroma and a very subtle taste.

Delicious.

It's so sweet, it's sweet that people can't stop at all.

"So, in order to taste the taste of this sugar, you have worked hard to boil the pork rind into crystal jelly and add diced fruit?" Bendom was a little surprised.

"That's right. The shopkeeper nodded again.

"Then I'm afraid you'll have to have a large army of hunters to feed your city, right?" said Bendom, looking at Noroca.

"Hunters, our pigs here are all raised at home, and every household in our city feeds them. By the way, I said that you can only feed the pigs with the grain, don't you understand?" asked Noroka.

Families feed pigs, and the people of this city not only have enough to eat, but also have surplus food to feed these wild beasts?

At this moment, a young eagle demon walked in and said, "No one in the West has ever raised livestock, all animals come from hunting, because we eagle demons believe that livestock are not qualified to share the food that God has given us, so they don't understand. ”

The eagle demon is none other than Custer, who has been here a long time ago.

"Why are you here?" said Bendom, surprised.

Custer saluted, "Bishop Bendom, you remember me. ”

Bendoma nodded and said, "You are the most fanatical believer I have ever met, and you often give impassioned speeches in the city, so I have an impression of you. ”

Custer smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that everything is a thing of the past, and I no longer believe in God now." ”
