Chapter 550: What is Food, What is Civilization, Do You Understand?

Bendom smiled and said, "Why are you suffering? Living in misery, but rejecting God's gift only because of your senseless pride? Or are you deceived by vile evils into thinking that the food you eat is the best food in the world?"

Noroka smiled, "You see, these brown rice of yours, just the skin that has been removed, has a terrible taste, and it is obviously moldy. We can't give it to people to eat, and the rice we eat has to be ground twice, and if it doesn't show a crystal clear appearance, no one will buy it. ”

"Buy?" said Bendom, laughing, "your food is for sale, and can they afford it?"

"These are just rice, the main food of our Yannan City, the price is very small, of course it is affordable. In these days, who doesn't have a few catties of rice?" Noroka said.

"Funny little girl, Gao Li sent the wrong person, you can't even lie, hahahaha!" said Bendom laughed.

"How did I lie?" Noroka asked.

"You say everybody can afford it, it's very cheap. And who doesn't have a few pounds of rice, and who would keep such a small amount of food at home?" said Bendom continued to laugh.

"Our people in Yannan City, Yannan City has a large granary, centralized management, low temperature drying. Ordinary people buy so much food and put it at home for a while, and it is easy to get moldy, and if it is moldy, it has to be thrown away, or fed to pigs, what a pity?" said Nonoka of course.

"Lies! are all lies! Under the light of God, your lies are hidden!" Bendoma suddenly roared.

"What are you doing so loud and spicy. Noroka asked with a smile.

All along, Nonoka felt that she was quite eloquent, but she really didn't know how to deal with a group of fools at this time, she looked up at it, Gao Li gestured, so Nonoka smiled: "In that case, why don't you go into the city and see it with your own eyes?"

Bendom smiled and asked, "You dare to let me into the city?"

Noroka also asked, "Do you dare to go in?"

The Eagle Demon Warrior behind immediately shouted in Eagle Script: "Despicable barbarian, he wants to introduce us into the city and kill us!"

Bendom shook his head and said in eagle words, "Don't worry, O people of God, with God's grace, we will be fine." Besides, you've all seen what just happened, and if they really want to kill us, they don't have to go in at all. I was also afraid that the rulers of the city would not dare to let us enter the city, because once they entered the city, the people of the city would see that we had brought the light and food of God, and they would inevitably become believers in God. But now, they're letting us in? This is our chance! We're going to let their people open the gates of the city themselves! without a single feather!"

In such a tense moment, Bendom felt his mind much more flexible, and he motioned for the warriors around him to pick up the food, and he walked into the city side by side with Nonoca.

As soon as you enter the city, you will see an extremely wide main road that leads straight into the distance. Because the war was about to begin, the merchants were hurrying to deliver their goods to the warehouse. The buses are passing through and will take the ordinary people outside home. When the people along the street saw the eagle demon entering the city, none of them had a good face.

Bendom was somewhat surprised.

Something is wrong with this city.

The roads are clean, the buildings are shiny, and there are not many people on the streets, but everyone is dressed in cotton clothes!

It was a cloth that only the church could afford! In the Western Continent, the common people could only use linen and animal skins!

No, no, no, this is definitely the conspiracy of the city lord named Gao Li! He deliberately asked these actors to show me! And those ordinary people sat behind those doors, trembling!

Bendom smiled, "You don't mind if I visit the inhabitants here." ”

Noroka smiled, "Please." ”

Hondoma crossed the middle road and came to a house whose walls were made of stone and painted with white plaster, which did not look new, indicating that they were not making a show. There was a delicate buckle on the main door, and when the door was gently slammed, a man's voice came from inside: "Who?"

Bendom said, "Messenger of God, bring you glory and freedom, and bread. ”

"What?" The man inside didn't seem to understand Bendom's accented Central Plains, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was an eagle demon, his face was happy, and he was about to touch the pioneer armor on his waist, but he saw Noroka on the side shaking his head slightly. He said angrily again: "What did you just say?"

Bendoma looked at the man in front of him, his face seemed to be doing manual work, wearing a cotton short-sleeved jumper on his upper body, shorts on his lower body, a pair of slippers on his feet, and a grain of rice at the corner of his mouth.

"O barbarian far from civilization, I am Bendom, messenger of God, messenger of God, messenger of God, and I have brought you, food. Bendom backhanded a handful of brown rice from a warrior's pocket and held it out.

The man glanced at Nonoka, Nonoka nodded slightly, although the man didn't know what it meant, but he also stretched out his hand, took the brown rice, frowned, and said, "What kind of is this?"

"It's food. Bendoma said.

"Can anyone eat this thing?" The man looked at the rice that was already full of mildew, these products that were only roughly shelled were not good in themselves, and the face was full of mildew, in Yannan City, where consumer goods had already been upgraded, no one bought them at all.

At this time, we need to add a knowledge point.

In ancient times, for a long time, people ate rice almost like boiled rice, and almost everyone who has seen rice husks knows how strong this thing is and how hard it is for people to eat. As a result, people invented the Chung-mortar, and there was the activity of Chung-mi. However, the speed is slow, the damage to the rice grains is great, and the hulling effect is not good. Later, with the mill, it is much easier to use than the mortar, but it still can't get rid of the low precision and high difficulty of post-processing. and processes such as post-sorting. And when Gaoli had natural rubber, mechanized large-scale processing of rice became possible.

The huller is this kind of machine, which runs in reverse by two rubber rollers to shred the rice husk, and then blows away the rice husk and rice bran through the blower, with fast processing speed and high precision. Compared with the grinding wheel, the rubber roller has less damage to the most rice grains. Rice imported from Yanan is transported here and then processed. Because the rice is alive, it can be stored for a long time, after it has been processed here. After the rice mill is finely ground, the rice grains become smooth and translucent. In this way, it becomes polished rice.

In fact, this kind of milled rice has not been on the market in Yannan City for a long time, and the machine is only in the trial operation stage to verify the stability, and Gao Li has not yet spread it to the entire Central Plains. Compared to brown rice, polished rice is also more expensive. However, because the people in Yannan City are basically wealthy, rice polishing is not a rare thing. Especially since the battle is about to start today, many people have prepared delicious food. As the saying goes, you can only go to the battlefield if you are full of food and drink, so it is very reasonable to treat yourself by making a meal of rice polished rice.

The man went back to the house, came out with his own rice bucket, took out a handful of fine 100 meters from it, and brought it to Bendom, and said, "See? ”

His eyes widened, and he reached out and grabbed a handful, yes, it was rice. This is rice that has been polished with all the skin and bran removed! What kind of life is this? How can rice be eaten like this? What a waste? Even living in a luxurious church, Bendom never thought that anyone would eat like this!

"You, how do you polish every grain so smooth? How much labor does it take? How many poor poor people have you enslaved?" said Bendom, pointing at Noroka.

Nonoka rolled her eyes helplessly and said, "Don't you have a rice mill there? There is no rice mill either? What do you do with rice in the West? You don't still use people to work, do you? We didn't have people here for a long time to do boring work." ”

Bendom's mouth opened for a moment, he didn't know what Noorca was talking about!

"Ridiculous! simply ridiculous! How can there be anything that we don't have in the light of God, in the land of freedom? I'm worried about you!" said Bendom, of course, unable to admit it.

At this time, it is necessary to talk about the source of information about the eagle demons, in the past, this city belonged to the Dugu family, and they raised the people in this city as their own servants. Only a minimum standard of living is maintained, and the life of the whole city, except for the palace, can only be lived in two words: live.

At that time, the Eagle Demon had already infiltrated the city and established a stronghold. At that time, the Dugu family was united with the evil spirit, so the eagle demons at that time were only operating in secret. They passed the news of the city to the past, and the closest point in time to the present was also the time when Gao Li became the lord here. The eagle demons didn't see the city bustling, so they were completely wiped out by Gaoli, and by the way, a certain prince even gave away his divine punishment controller.

So, even the churches didn't know the actual situation of the city, and they instinctively thought that it was still the same as it used to be—especially since they had heard from various sources that the lord of the new city, a fellow named Gao Li, was an insatiable businessman.

The grain was supposed to be their rations, but because it was moldy, no one ate it. Bendoma had an idea and planned to use this method to buy people's hearts. It seemed to him that a poor group of hungry people, faced with the temptation of food, would immediately believe in God.

However, he never thought that the food of the people in this city would be much better than theirs.

Nonoka smiled: "That's good, I've heard a long time ago that you poor eagle demons from the Western Continent have almost no knowledge, except for being able to fly, they are rude and rude, just a group of people who have broken away from modern prestige and live in a barbaric world." And your life is not very good, look at the armor of your Eagle Demon Warrior...... Are you still hitting these pieces with a hammer?"
