Chapter 323: Soybean Oil

Zama nails are too terrifying, they can hurt both the enemy and themselves. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Moreover, its four sharp corners, no matter how you dial it, will have three sharp corners to support the ground and form a stable structure, while the other sharp corner, which remains upward, and whoever steps on it will be unlucky.

Therefore, when it is sprinkled, it is too powerful. Legend has it that the Zama nail was invented by Zhuge Liang in order to deal with the cavalry superiority of the Wei State. With the Zama nail, the opposing cavalry could not let go and charge. Whether it is to block the enemy or retreat, it can play a huge role. The only problem is that after throwing the Zama nail, the charge of one's own people will also be hindered.

So, Marin began to think about how to pin the enemy with a zama without harming himself...... Eventually, he found the answer in the thistles on the barbed wire......

The specific method is to make a hole in the middle of the zama nail and string it with a rope. During the battle, a string of zama nails is thrown out, and the soldier on the cart holds a rope in his hand that can take back the string of zama nails.

As soon as their own army needed to attack, the soldiers of the cart used ropes to take back the string of horse nails, so as not to pierce their own people. If the enemy attacks, even if you stop and bend down, you will see a string of Zama nails and close them. However, the musketeers behind the wheelbarrow will not give the other side this chance. And the enemy's cavalry, because they rushed too fast, and were on horseback, would not have had a chance to retract the skewers of the horses. As long as the opposing cavalry rushed over, it was difficult to avoid being seriously injured by the horse nails.

Everyone gasped when Marin showed the dozens of modified wheelbarrows and dozens of built strings of zama nails to his officers on the school grounds. Especially the cavalry officer, after seeing it, only felt a numb scalp.

Faced with the dense number of horse nails on the ground and the wheelbarrow with four spearheads in front of the last cart, the cavalry officer did not know how to crack it. The level of terror is no less than the two ditches and wooden pickets that Marin made before. The functions of both are very powerful. The difference is that the tactic of two ditches and wooden stakes, which blocks both the enemy and themselves, can only be used for defense. The wheelbarrow chariot with the addition of horse nail strings can not only block the enemy, but also quickly retract it, without affecting our army's pursuit of the enemy.

The cavalry officers discussed for a long time, but they couldn't think of any way to crack it. Ultimately, they decided that avoiding the edge was the right choice. Or, use the musket tactics of the Blackshirt Knights.

However, in Marin's phalanx, there were a large number of musketeers. Moreover, a long-barreled rifle with more power than the carbine of the Black Shirt Rider was used. Therefore, the black-shirted knight is not the top either. If you shoot against each other, it will definitely be the black-shirted knight who suffers......

If you attack with artillery, it's a good idea. However, the number of artillery equipment in the Marin army has always been high. It doesn't seem wise to engage in artillery fire with Marin.

In the end, everyone could only think of one way - to use the spearmen to advance without fear of casualties, clear the strings of zama nails, and then go forward and stab each other with the soldiers of Marin through the wheelbarrow. However, under the blow of the arquebus platoon, this casualty was a little too great. When the casualties reach a certain level, the army can easily collapse......

At the end of the discussion, the cavalry officers had a look of horror on their faces. They felt that as soon as the tactics of wheelbarrows, horse skewers and horse rejection came out, it would be infinitely difficult for cavalry to storm the infantry phalanx in the future, and the era of the infantry phalanx was coming......

……

Autumn is harvest season, with a bountiful harvest in Marin on the mainland, as well as on Cape Breton and Twin Islands. As for the island of Grenada, there is naturally a bumper harvest. However, there is no concept of autumn over there, and it is summer all year round.

After the autumn harvest, all three colonies brought back large quantities of supplies by ship. Cape Breton brought back rye, salt, and a large amount of paper; America's return was mainly 1 million pounds of soybeans and 2 million pounds of spring wheat; Grenada brought back 500,000 pounds of cane sugar, as well as large quantities of ginger and rice.

Originally, Grenada could have brought back more cane sugar. However, because of the newly opened colony of Havana in Cuba, a large number of sugar cane seedlings were needed. As a result, George Sr. ordered more of the sugar cane festival to be used to grow sugar cane seedlings. However, 500,000 pounds of cane sugar was enough for the nobles of East Friesland. After all, in this era, sucrose is not something that can be eaten by civilians. And with so little aristocrats, the total consumption of sucrose is not large.

The price of sucrose in this era was also very expensive, reaching 2 shillings per pound. That's 24 pfennig per pound, which is equivalent to 12 days' wages for an average worker. If calculated at the level of 100 yuan a day for ordinary people in later generations, a pound of sucrose may sell for as much as 1,200 yuan -- it is simply scary......

Of the 1 million pounds of soybeans shipped back from America, Marin made fried soybeans and tofu last year. But this year, Marin suddenly remembered that it seemed that he could squeeze soybean oil......

Today, the aristocrats of Marin and East Friesland have always used lard and butter as oil for stir-frying. Although the taste is not bad, it is not as healthy as vegetable oil. As an aristocrat, because of the large intake of meat, you still need to pay attention to your health.

So, Marin got a spiral pressure oil press and began to use soybeans to extract oil. Marin first fried the soybeans, and then put them into a spiral oil press, and used the spiral column to squeeze the soybeans vigorously to make them oily. The oil from cooked soybeans has a flavor and is easier to preserve.

After getting the soybean oil, Marin ordered that in the future, the kitchen would no longer use lard and butter as cooking oil. After all, animal oil has a lot of unhealthy ingredients in it. Vegetable oils, on the other hand, are much healthier.

Moreover, the cooked soybean cake left over after oil extraction, with the aroma of fried soybeans, is also a very good feed, and it is also very popular with horses when used to feed horses.

With soybean oil, many Chinese stir-fried dishes, the taste of stir-fried dishes is also more authentic. Especially when stir-fried vegetables, if you use animal fat to stir-fry, you will inevitably have a meaty aroma. However, this is out of the original meaning of stir-frying vegetables. Only by stir-frying vegetables in vegetable oil can you taste the original taste of vegetables even more. Moreover, animal oil has a high cholesterol content, and eating too much is not good for health. Therefore, using soybean oil instead of animal oil for stir-frying is obviously more in line with health requirements.

In fact, Marin's practice is known to ordinary people in this era, and it will definitely be sprayed. For those ordinary people, oil and water are very scarce. Therefore, ordinary people are more invited to animal oil. Because, animal oil can make them feel more meaty. This is just like before the reform in China, the common people lacked oil and water, and preferred to eat fatty meat. And in the 21st century, everyone has begun to like to eat lean meat and not like fatty meat.

Only a big nobleman like Marin would get tired of eating animal oil, and in addition, for health reasons, he switched to vegetable oil. When Marin ordered to eliminate all animal oil in the kitchen and switch to soybean oil, the few barrels of animal oil stored in the kitchen were instantly snatched up by the cooks and kitchen helpers. This animal oil, Marin dislikes, but for them who are poor, it is a very tall thing, and it is good to be able to eat it......
