560 Inspiration at the table changes the world
Therefore, this group of crew members who had just returned from a long voyage, when a big head had just woken up, there was almost no one else in the Red Mansion, and the crew at this time lazily washed, lazily went to the restaurant on the first floor to have breakfast, and then began to wander around.
However, the three of them, Zhou Ruiyue and Chu, got up much earlier than everyone today, and they didn't bother to have breakfast, so they ran to the platform on the roof of the Red Mansion to watch their little daughter-in-law do morning exercises.
Under the sunshine on the roof of the building, Tao Tao took three sisters and Haidong Niu Niu, a total of six people were doing morning exercises, Tao Tao shouted one, two, one, and several people were skillfully or clumsily waving their arms and twisting their waists.
Last night, the three new little girls were told that your husband will play with you for a day during the day, and that you will enter the Sunflower Girls' School before the evening, and you will only see each other once or twice a week, and this state will continue until you are seventeen and half a year later.
This is Xia Xiaoou's marriage age bottom line - seventeen and a half years old, because this is called "rounding up to eighteen years old", barely counting it as a violation of the law that everyone has formulated before, according to Xia Xiaoou, this is an expedient measure in special circumstances, and it can be regarded as maintaining the "dignity of the law".
After the girls finished a set of weird morning exercises under the leadership of Tao Tao, the next thing was to wash their faces and brush their teeth and eat breakfast.
Until they saw their respective "husbands" on the roof, the three girls from Liping Courtyard had been in a state of dizziness.
Since getting off the train yesterday morning, the train has been "rushing" all the way to the gate of the cave at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, along the way the girls finally did not hold back the teaching of their mother Sang's An Xian Jingshu, and began to scream non-stop, or looked at each other and laughed---- sitting on the "magic car" without livestock pulling on the ground, which is an unprecedented life experience for the girls.
Although the husbands had vaccinated the girls in advance, saying that it was not magic but technology, when they experienced it themselves, they were still surprised and doubted about life.
But that's not all, I looked at the calm faces of the aunts and sisters next to me, and I was able to hold on to it after experiencing the initial fright.
However, after entering his three-person dormitory, he was first frightened by something called "electric fan" that shook his head, thinking it was some kind of elf, and then he was startled by the floor-to-ceiling glass mirror in the dimly lit bathroom - thinking that he had seen a female ghost, and then, he was "teased" by things such as electric water heaters, bath heads, and flush toilets, sorry, there are no such things on the Nicole, so the girls have no chance to experience them in advance......
In the end, the girls stared at the large glass window and the glass mirror, glass lamp and glassware on the bedside table, but fortunately, the aunts and sisters appeared in time and accompanied the three sisters, so that the girls finally did not suspect that they were dreaming.
This is not a dream, my mother said, I have to dream every day and night, how can I dream about things I haven't seen? It's another world!
The breakfast is very rich, milk, eggs, white rice porridge and all kinds of fruits, at this time the three girls looked at the red tomatoes in a daze, and asked the husband who was sitting next to him what this is?
"Cherry tomatoes!"
Yue Chu, who came over from the love scene, warmly picked up a small tomato and fed it to the purple girl girl's mouth, completely ignoring the strange eyes projected around him.
Fortunately, during this time period, the vast majority of single dogs either went to work after breakfast, or slept lazily in the dormitory, so in addition to these girls and children in the restaurant, there were only Zhu Beiguo, Xu Zhi, Li Junming, and those who had wives and children, as well as Sun Lao, Lao Wang, and two people who helped the cook, so no one complained or ridiculed this.
At this moment, several old brothers at the next table are commenting on the new varieties in this vegetable garden, Zhu Beiguo said, at present, in Europe, tomatoes seem to be plants that decorate the courtyard in this era, and the Spaniards brought tomatoes from the Americas to Europe, but in the following two hundred years, tomatoes are just ornamental plants in the backyards of nobles, and Europeans think that this red fruit is a dangerous and poisonous thing, let alone eat, and you can't touch it more.
As for Asia, it seems like it will take another one or two hundred years for this kind of thing to be on the table.
So the conversation spread from here - breakfast time is supposed to be a time for everyone to diverge their thinking, which is the custom.
So someone suggested to Lao Wang on the spot, should we make a real ketchup condiment food? Your old man's drink with cane sugar, carrots and tomatoes doesn't count! That stuff is so bad!
Lao Wang listened to these comments, but he didn't care, he said that we didn't make that thing for you to use as a condiment, it was medicine! It is a medicine that can eliminate scurvy, and it also adds sugar, just by virtue of this, it is already a delicacy of this era, you guys, the taste is too tricky......
"Isn't it? It's just a ketchup, which is considered a bad taste? ”
The brothers were dissatisfied and refuted the old king's way.
"Tomato sauce is something that can be made, but the key is that it can't be stored for a long time."
Sun Lao came out of the kitchen with a pot of vegetable soup and answered.
"Isn't it okay to add sugar?"
"Yes, it's easy to store with sugar."
"Do you do the math! Add sugar to make a lot of tomato sauce, who do we sell it to? Is there a market in this era? ”
Lao Wang retorted with a sneer.
"Isn't ketchup delicious? At the beginning, Pimont said it was delicious......"
"Humph! That's because he didn't know that the red thing was made of tomatoes, and if he knew, wouldn't he scare him to death? I didn't want to poison him for us! ”
Lao Wang continued to retort.
"What Lao Wang said is that the tomato is synonymous with poison in Europe, but I have an idea, anyway, Asians don't know about this thing, why don't we try to put it on the market and try the water temperature?"
"It's okay to do less, but if you do more, you can't make it from the cost accounting, and it's time-consuming and labor-intensive, so it's better to waste sugar on that thing, it's better to make more money by selling sugar directly......
After listening to Sun Lao's suggestion, Lao Wang replied thoughtfully.
"It seems that we have to make less, we eat it ourselves, let the world see, not only can it not be eaten to death, it is still delicious, and it can also prevent scurvy!"
Sun Lao put down the soup basin, sat down and scooped a spoonful into his bowl, and responded after taking a sip.
"So now it's still carrot juice! As for the ketchup used for seasoning, let's talk about it later, when the world and the market accept tomatoes, we will make that thing on a large scale and sell it. ”
Lao Wang finally replied.
However, although Lao Wang said so, but after a few days he really made a batch of ketchup on the ship for the crew to eat, and a few years later, with the "Australian iron sailing ship" appeared in various ports, ketchup was finally gradually accepted by the world, and gradually had a consumer market.
In any case, according to everyone's later recollections, this small talk at the table seems to be the origin of the "Australian tomato sweet sauce" that is marketed all over the world.
In fact, it can be said that many of the foods that became popular all over the world were suddenly remembered and put into practice during breakfast time - these commodities have a common characteristic: either eating or drinking, including the later famous Australian bulk trade goods ---- spicy sauce, many of these seasoning bulk goods originated at the breakfast table, basically a group of people eating and drinking suddenly came to inspiration.
And these inspirations at the dinner table ultimately changed the world.
