Chapter 139: Lavoisier and the French Snail

Paris, the city that has been the capital of France since the sixth century, is in a period of rapid development, last time Ye Kai only passed by the suburbs of Paris and did not enter, but this time he followed Anna in a carriage, he was completely shocked.

This stinking and messy Paris is really beyond Ye Kai's expectations, with muddy streets and roadsides piled up with all kinds of household garbage, mule and horse dung, and even human dung.

The streets are lined with two- and three-story buildings, and the walls that were originally white have been smoked a strange color by soot and other things, and people in all kinds of clothes can be seen spilling sewage from the doorways and upstairs at any time.

The carriage drove to the banks of the Seine, all kinds of large boats shuttled back and forth, and on both sides of the river, I don't know what factory was, a series of huge chimneys were emitting thick black smoke, and the Seine River took on a strange color, and all kinds of garbage floated on it.

Nima, Ye Kai suddenly felt that Paris and Kolkata had changed roles? This river is the Seine, it is the Ganges after all!

It is estimated that the ghost animal netizens who will see it will inevitably send out, "Dry this bowl of Seine water, and survive in the future!" ”

Jenna took Ye Kai to walk around to more than a dozen vegetable markets and slaughterhouses, and finally bought all the pork ribs and even some offal, but on the way back, Ye Kai looked at these ingredients and fell into contemplation.

Chinese food is delicious, but do these white-skinned people appreciate it?

They have always only been interested in the sweet and sour taste, what if they are not used to these spicy Chinese food he makes?

Thinking of the famous foreign Chinese food in later generations, all of which are the kind of Chinese food like Zuo Zongtang chicken, Ye Kai hesitated, he blew out all the cattle last night, there will definitely be a vote of people who are not convinced, and are waiting to see his jokes, if he can't surprise the four people, then his high-end character design of the Seris people who has accumulated with great difficulty will be ruined!

In this world full of white skins, if he loses his aura, why can he still make a difference in Europe? Why should you be called brothers and sisters with this French aristocracy?

It seems that I have to make some changes, I can't make Chinese food, I have to make some Western-style Chinese food, or fake Chinese food, maybe... This bizarre Zuo Zongtang chicken invented by Wanwan chef is a good choice?

And there are also the most famous French dishes of later generations, foie gras and French baked snails, which have not yet appeared.

Foie gras is made of goose fatty liver, which is certainly not immediately available, but the French giant snail is easy to find! Lao Tzu just uses your own French famous dishes, I don't believe that I can't get you French g-points!

Thinking of this, Ye Kaixi smiled, he found that he was getting more and more talented, so he decided that in the future, the two dishes of French baked snail and French foie gras will be Chinese food, and it will be called Seris fried foie gras and Seris baked snail!

"Anna! Anna! Ye Kai shouted loudly, and Anna, who was riding a horse in front, stopped when she heard the sound.

"Do you know where there are big snails?"

"Big snails?"

"That's right! It's the kind of very large, white shell, or the color of the shell is very light! Ye Kai compared a circle with his index finger and thumb, indicating that it was so big!

"What do you want that?" Anna shook her head in disgust, girl, it's not a blessing for this strange object that always spews slime

"I'm going to make a dish, a dish that will fascinate you Frenchmen!" Ye Kai's face was proud.

"Oh my God, how did you come up with the idea of cooking with snails? I don't eat it anyway, but I can help you find it, there are a lot of aristocratic farms on the outskirts of Paris, and they are everywhere! Anna shuddered.

。。。。

On the outskirts of Paris, at the Oscher farm, a tall man was leading a beautiful woman who was obviously much older than him for a walk, and an old man who looked like a butler was running towards them.

"Sir, there's a lady and a strange man outside, who seems to be the Seris from the East mentioned in the newspapers!"

The man known as Mr. had an interested look in his eyes, and after picking a purple wildflower and handing it to his wife beside him, he turned to him and asked, "A Serris?" Didn't he live in the king's palace? Why did you come to my farm? Do they have anything to do? ”

The old butler looked like he was constipated, and began to mumble suspiciously, "That Seris man, the snails in your manor are fat and big, he thinks of catching some big snails in your manor, what kind of person will catch snails?" It's weird, I think he's supposed to be lying, what good can this kind of snail be! ”

"Snails?" The man was also stunned, that expression was like when you met a person in the next life, he said to you, the cockroaches in your house are fat and strong, can I come in and catch some?

"Ahh The young wife screamed, "This can't be some mysterious Seris magic, right?" I've heard a lot of evil witchcraft that requires all sorts of weird things! ”

"Mary!" The man looked back at his wife dotingly, "I have been, there is no witchcraft in this world, and those phenomena that we don't understand must be caused by some elements that we don't understand yet." ”

The young wife blinked embarrassedly, and the man then said to the butler, "Pierre! Go and invite them in, I'd love to meet this Serris, the mysterious kingdom of Seris was once very advanced in terms of technology! ”

Anna took Ye Kai's arm and walked up a hillside, and the Vietnamese maids who followed them out to buy followed them to catch snails with the peasant women and children in the manor, and Ye Kai of course wanted to visit the master and thank him for his generosity.

"Zinedin from the East, Marquis of Saigon in Quang Nam Kingdom thank you for your generosity, I hope it doesn't bother you too much!"

Ye Kai and Anna greeted the male and female hosts on the opposite side elegantly, although he was a marquis, but these French people didn't know that a noble identity in this era was very useful, even if Ye Kai was a marquis thousands of miles away.

"You are too polite from Seris, a little snail, not to be disturbed at all, I am Antoine, the owner of this manor. Laurent. Lavoisier! The man warmly stretched out his hand and introduced himself.

Pull.... Lavoisier? Ye Kai's brain exploded, and he saw the big bull, this is the father of modern chemistry!

Outstanding chemists who discovered elements such as oxygen and hydrogen overthrew phlogiston and published chemical nomenclature and basic treatises on law.

Of course, the most famous is the painting printed on the textbook, Lavoisier is sitting at his desk with a quill in his hand and a test tool in front of him, and he looks back, with words under the drawing, Lavoisier is studying the composition of air.

God studied the composition of the air, and the screenshot in the textbook was only half intercepted, and Lavoisier was simply looking back at his wife, the beautiful and intelligent Mariana who married him at the age of 13. Pierre Potzer.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Monsieur Lavoisier, your research on air and the elements has been truly eye-opening, and it's a pleasure to meet a scientist like you!" Ye Kai was quite enthusiastic and excited.

First, in this era, how much help does playing chemistry have for the military and other aspects, then there is no need, Ye Kai knows 10,000 kinds of golden fingers, but he is not a chemist, he doesn't know how to operate specifically, and he can't use it at all, if he has Lavoisier..... It's a perfect fit!

Second, although Lavoisier was a scientist, his desire for money and status was also obvious, and he was later beheaded during the Revolution on charges of tax evasion and selling counterfeit cigarettes.

Nima, such a big scientist goes to sell fake cigarettes???

But for Ye Kailai, a scientist who likes money and power, that is his favorite, he is not afraid of the greed of people with skills, but he is afraid of those who hold the idea of white supremacy.

"Is this true? My research has made all Seris know about it? Lavoisier shook hands with Ye Kai, and was very satisfied that his learning had spread to the far East.

"Of course, if I don't have an urgent matter today, I would really like to have a perfect East-West dialogue with you, but Mr. Lavoisier, are you free after the third generation? I would like to invite you and your wife to the Celestial Dinner I have prepared at the Palace of Versailles! ”

I have a general idea in my heart, the next step is how to fool Lavoisier into his friend, the dinner at the Palace of Versailles is definitely high enough, even if it is hosted by Ye Kai, this is a good way to make friends.

Lavoisier had long been a member of the Royal French Academy of Sciences, but he could not resist the temptation of such high-society gatherings attended by kings and queens.

"Really? That's a real pleasure for us! Sure enough, Lavoisier didn't say anything, and his wife Marianna. Pierre Poser hurriedly agreed, and Lavoisier nodded with a smile on his face.
