Like sea salt, white sugar is not suitable for large-scale long-distance transportation.

The Nankai region may be processed by growing sugar beet, while Liberty Island can be extracted by growing sugar cane.

Liberty Island is perhaps the most suitable place to grow sugar cane throughout Europe.

Among the 500 households sent from the distant Great Song Dynasty, there were special sugarcane farmers, of course, this was also selected at the beginning.

Chairman Wu Dapeng may be planting on a large scale in the Tianzhu area where the water and heat conditions are good, and he will certainly consider the technical needs of Liberty Island.

It is entirely feasible to grow sugar cane on a small scale on Liberty Island, after all, sugar is still a more expensive food in this time and space.

The slime led David Charles to walk freely on this walled, unfortified island.

David Charles was amazed to see many vegetables that he had never seen before!

There were also vegetables on the European continent during this period, but there were only a few things, shallots, garlic, leeks, shallots, parsley, and the most common were peas, cabbage------ which were far less numerous than those of the Federal Empire.

Previously, when David Charles came to Liberty Island for his first meal, he was accompanied by a slime because he was afraid that he would not eat.

Europeans of this period, whether nobles or commoners, did not eat breakfast during the day, but only ate two meals at noon and in the afternoon.

Of course, some aristocrats steal snacks, that doesn't count.

Their food is outrageously simple, and there are restrictions on what they eat!

Their church has very strict rules about when people can eat meat.

It prohibits the consumption of meat on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Lent, 40 days before Easter and Easter, and Advent Sunday, which is closest to November 30, and Christmas Day.

If you do the math, you can find that you are not allowed to eat meat for half of the year.

And eating eggs during Lent is also not allowed. Even the king had to obey this rule.

And eating meat is still an extremely luxurious behavior------ you think you can go hunting casually?

All mountainous forest areas have lords, and the guards guarding there will think that you are stealing the lord's property, and if you are caught hunting, the prey will be confiscated, not to mention, a violent beating is not a must!

David Charles is a real aristocrat, but he only eats meat half the day of the year, and they only eat three ways of eating------ he can certainly afford to use spices, but where can the average small family use them.

That is why, the canned whale meat, which was originally intended for oriental sailors, turned out to be so popular in the market------ because there was not only meat, but also spices in it.

Slime and David Charles went to the best restaurant on Liberty Island together, and Slime weighed the money in his wallet and carefully ordered a few dishes.

After waiting for the guy to bring the dishes on a tray, David Charles didn't have time to praise the beauty of the porcelain plate that filled the dishes, and was attracted by the aroma of the dishes there.

There are two meat dishes, spicy beef and fried lamb with green onions!

David Charles couldn't help but didn't grab it directly------ but asked reservedly, are all these meats specially prepared for him.

There is no meat preservation technology in continental Europe, so fresh meat can only be eaten on the day of killing------ unless it is marinated and smoked.

The slime shook his head and told him about the restaurant's business.

The Orientals used a miraculous technique to make ice in the summer, and then use the ice to preserve the fresh meat.

After speaking, the slime took out a porcelain spoon from the bamboo tube on the table, untied the knife from his body, and handed it to him.

He took out his chopsticks and used them himself.

David Charles held back his curiosity to notice how the slime used two small sticks to pick up the meat and put it directly in his own mouth, and then with his other hand he could hold a porcelain glass and drink wine!

His two hands worked hard to cooperate, but he could eat it------ it was really delicious, but he had to get used to the spicy taste slowly, but he didn't think that pepper could still be used like this!

After eating for a while, he put down the porcelain spoon in his right hand, picked up the porcelain cup, and said in a toast commonly used by nobles: "Let us thank God for his favor, thank our friends for their sincerity, and thank this ------ restaurant for hospitality!"

May our friendship be as eternal as the sea! ”

Slime hadn't seen the nobleman's toast, and he didn't know that there was such a ceremony, so he was a little flustered, and just said, "Do it first!" ”

Well, David Charles was in a better mood, this friend of his was not of aristocratic origin------

There is also a dish of whole pale red sea bream, and you can even see the color!

David Charles didn't understand why he was pouring a thick sauce on it, he cooperated with both hands, and finally got a piece of fish meat, tasted it, it tasted so delicious, it was sweet and sour!

The slime smiled as he kept eating the sweet and sour snapper dish.

As the slimes knew, due to their poor fishing and storage skills, even the nobles here rarely had access to fresh fish.

Even some of the king's royals gave each other fish as gifts.

In those days, the Duke of York of the Kingdom of England regularly presented pike, sea bream, ding, and salmon to his cousin, King Henry IV of England.

In fact, with the exception of the freshwater pike, all of those fish can be bought fresh at the markets on Liberty Island!

On the European continent, because the aristocracy or the wealthy could not eat meat often, the price of fish was pushed up, so fish was more expensive.

In this case, ordinary people have to eat pickled fish. Pickled herring is most commonly eaten by farmers

Caucasian people on Liberty Island prefer to eat sea bream, because most people don't know how to use chopsticks and can't pick out the bones, while sea bream basically doesn't need to be spine.

The last dish is a cold dish with sugar made up of tomatoes, cucumber slices, lettuce, and coriander leaves.

However, David Charles only glanced at it and didn't touch it.

European aristocrats ate vegetables and fruits in the same way as they were, by boiling them in water.

They believe that everything green should be cooked thoroughly.

Because at that time, the opinion of famous European doctors was that green vegetables were not good, and if they were eaten raw, they were harmful to the body.

The same goes for fruits.

In particular, sailors who go to sea must not eat vegetables and fruits raw, and must eat them after they have been cooked, so as to ensure that they will get sick during the voyage.

The slime was beaten by his commander for wanting to eat boiled fruit.

It seems that the king of the Federal Empire said that what vitamins can be supplemented by eating raw vegetables and fruits after washing, especially those who go to sea and sail must eat raw vegetables and fruits!

After the slime went to sea, he learned the good skills of growing soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts from a chef, which was more than the average chef.

The slimes had only obeyed orders, but the more they got older, the more they thought the king was right, because he had seen the pirate captives, and they didn't eat raw vegetables and fruits------ some of them not only had their teeth out, but also had large ulcers on their bodies------ so the cook forced them to eat raw turnips, and the results were much better.

After eating a few chopsticks and sugar mixed with cold dishes, the slime felt that the taste was refreshing, so he told him the reason for eating raw vegetables and fruits, and also gave the example of a pirate captive.

Maybe David Charles didn't understand the new word vitamin, in fact, the slime himself didn't quite understand, but he still wanted to persuade him to eat it raw.

David Charles disagreed with this advice, and instead said in surprise:

"I heard you've been cleaning up pirates?

Ah, no wonder there is a legend that pirates have gone to an island to burn lime------ I thought it was nonsense. ”

Anyone who wants to do business at sea will be glad that the number of pirates has decreased.
