Section 1006 The three pots are the successful nation
From the car window, the streets are full of random sales, and they are not selling things like Chinese people in large piles and piles on the stalls, but simply put a few kinds of goods for sale, and the quantity is not much, which shows the underdevelopment of productive forces.
The juice squeezed by hand is constantly being made by the vendors with their black and dusty hands, and the diners eat it as it is.
Some Indian vendors are very skillful in making a kind of pilaf rice with their hands on the spot, the glass windows on the carriage are very transparent, Li Laiheng has good eyesight, he saw several flies rushing into the steaming rice like moths to the fire, and never flew out again!
The peddler skillfully grabs the rice with his hand to fill the bowl and slams it on the table, and the diners pick up the large piece to eat, and the vendor collects the money with the hand he just grab......
A stall sells fried stuff like fried fritters, piled high and looking tempting. However, when the carriage drove over, he was speechless when he saw the pots and other cooking utensils they were using, all of them were rusty and dirty, and he had no appetite for a moment.
The order is chaotic, there is no city management!
The people occupy the road to operate and trade, the purchase and sale are booming, the flow of people is dense, and the streets of the sacred cow are lying horizontally, and there is a mess, if it is not for the lord of Cresinara to pick up, the large group of people entering the city can only open the road unless they shoot.
In the carriage, Li Laiheng sat in the main seat, and Zhang Jiayu sat opposite him, so Zhang Jiayu pointed to a vendor on the side of the road, Li Laiheng looked at the other party doing business, but, what is there to see?
Zhang Jiayu didn't need to show off, and said directly: "They don't use scales!" ”
Li Laiheng understood when he saw it, Zhang Jiayu found a very interesting phenomenon, Indians don't use scales to sell things at all, they sell things by piles, by the piece, by the bowl on the cup!
Later, Li Laiheng went to Africa and found that the same was true for black people.
Don't underestimate a small scale, only China since ancient times, even remote villages are using scales to weigh things to sell, no wonder in China, the peddlers and pawns want to get children are not successful, maybe the children are illiterate, but they will nod their fingers from an early age to count, how many catties, multiply by the unit price, to get the total price!
Why are Chinese so strong in mathematics, this is one of the reasons, they can count since childhood, can this intelligence be bad!
The Han Dynasty in 200 BC has used scales, simple and easy to use hand scales are the quintessence of China, and in India after 1800, they have not used scales!
PS: The Indus civilization once found stone weights for scales, but Indian society did not use scales, and the people who used scales were obviously killed by the people who did not use scales.
……
On the hillside, a castle-like palace stands overlooking the town below.
It was the hero, the owner of the lord Chrisinara, who, when the Chinese reached the bottom of the mountain, was surprised to find a team of elephants dressed in red and green already waiting at the bottom of the mountain.
The servant respectfully invited the Chinese guests to the elephants and sent them to the castle.
Li Laiheng and Zhang Jiayu happily obeyed, sitting on the back of an elephant and slowly climbing up the hill, and when the Chinese entered the palace, they couldn't help but praise.
It is made of red sandstone and white marble and consists of a series of beautiful courtyards, palaces, halls and gardens.
The interior is beautifully decorated and luxurious, with large marble tiles, and the corridors are beautifully decorated with myths and legends painted on the walls.
The old man was smiling, dressed in their traditional national costume, all made of Chinese silk, and the rings on his fingers were shining brightly.
Seeing him smiling like a mythical character on the wall, looking harmless to humans and animals, Li Laiheng and Zhang Jiayu didn't dare to despise him at all, knowing that this was a ruthless Kshatriya!
The poor Nashiks are more prosperous than other cities, but they are only fifty paces and a hundred paces, and the big money goes to the old men.
There are large slums in the city, all of which are low and dilapidated houses, where people sit around in tattered clothes and chat, and the streets are full of people lying on the ground begging for food.
The old man was a large landowner, owned a large amount of land, and countless people were his tenant farmers.
Their agricultural productivity is not high. Overall, India's wheat, rice, corn and beans yields per mu are only half of those of the previous Ming Dynasty and one-third of those of southeastern countries.
With a large population, the local people can't get enough to eat, and Lord Krisinara also provides a large amount of food to the Chinese in Mumbai, and is the number one supplier!
His tenant farmers starved to death every year, and the fortune of Lord Chrisinara increased every year.
"Welcome, distinguished guests!" Master Chrisinara said politely, and his words were translated by fellow Chinese businessmen.
"It's a pleasure to come to you, noble master!" Li Laiheng responded, introduced him to Zhang Jiayu, and gave the master a gift, which was nothing more than tea, silk and porcelain, which were specialties of the southeast.
"Please!" The host was very happy and even asked for words.
"Please!" The guests answered.
The host led the guests to sit down by the pool, which is a good place to cool off on a hot day in India.
Tea, fruits, yogurt, desserts and snacks are sent at a price for guests to taste.
This is the diet of the upper class of India, clean, fresh, and served out in fine Chinese porcelain, full of colors, color, fragrance, and beauty!
For example, there is an oil triangle, which is made with potatoes, lentils, onions, lamb with grated cheese, chicken, etc., and then served with coriander sauce.
Indians are religious vegetarians and don't eat meat?
Can't afford to eat!
Religious, rich men eat meat!
Master Chrisinara had the intention to please, and Li Laiheng was interested in enveloping him, thanking him for his support to the Chinese, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
At first, Li Laiheng and Zhang Jiayu were worried about the main meal of the Indians, because they had eaten goat meat paste, fried rice, milk bean paste, vegetable paste and pancakes, which were really difficult to eat.
There is a strange phenomenon in Indian cuisine, they are used to stir-frying rice, as if they don't stir-fry much, they all use vegetable leaves to make a paste, and then stir fried rice and grab it.
Among the Chinese, vegetable paste is eaten by the sick!
Fortunately, the curry lamb pilaf was very solid, and the color of the cooked fragrant rice was golden yellow and mushy, but it was a tomato and spice mush, and the taste was acceptable.
In addition to the food, the host also dug his heart out, calling for magic, tricks and cabaret performances.
It has to be said that the level of dancing of Indians without saying a word is superb!
Hindu DanceClassical dance is a dance performed for the gods, and for Indians, dance is not only an art, but also a religion. Born of a devout and unselfish love for God, the dancers express and interpret everything in the universe through their fingers, arms, eyes, facial features, and body.
The performance was full of charm and was very intriguing, and it was a high-level performance that delighted the guests.
In particular, the female dancers who performed, a total of eight beauties, were quite beautiful, they were fair-skinned, had devilish figures, delicate looks, and tall figures, which were particularly eye-catching.
This is a Kshatriya woman!
It's not ordinary people who can watch them dance, but gods can see it, brahmins can watch it, and noble Kshatriyas can watch it.
The Chinese dignitaries are the noble Kshatriyas, so they can see it.
When they take off, all the low-caste attendants have to bow their heads deeply, they can't look, and if they do, they will be gouged out!
The high caste must not be blasphemed!
According to the meaning of Lord Chrisinara, whoever the two distinguished guests fancied, they gave the beautiful woman to the Chinese lord as a gift, Li Laiheng and Zhang Jiayu quickly declined, saying that the king must have a law that cannot be accepted, otherwise there will be trouble.
The host entertains the guests every day with good food and drink, and takes them around...... It wasn't until three days later that the host personally led the guests to the Ganesha Festival, and saw that the banks of the Godavari River were crowded with people, and the believers sent the statue of Ganesh into the Godavari River.
Ganesha Festival is one of the important religious festivals in India, during which Hindus invite the idol of Ganesha to their homes during the 10-day festival, symbolizing the introduction of wealth, wisdom and good fortune. On the last day of the festival, a grand ceremony is held to send the idol of Ganesha into the river and the sea, and let it go with the waves, meaning to remove the old and make the new.
……
I went on a visit, and after coming back, Li Laiheng never wanted to go out again, so he still stayed in the Chinese nest comfortably!
In his historical biography "My Days and Nights in India Training Soldiers", he recorded his experience in India, and said with emotion: "Such a strange nation, but I have to admit that their ruling class is extremely successful in ruling the people under them, and in such a harsh living environment, the people can not rebel and be willing to do so, no nation or country can compare with them!" ”
