Chapter 369: The Persian Gulf

"I really want to follow the teacher like this, I don't want to be an official. After eating an authentic African specialty, Li Hao's students couldn't help but sigh, although it was impossible.

Li Hao's side, whether male or female, has never kept his own students by his side. All the students who have stayed with him, he will arrange their own futures, so that they do not have to worry about their livelihoods. Over the years, a strong group has formed around him.

The people in their group are united, all of them are taught by Li Hao, and the knowledge they receive is also wide. However, they are like Li Hao, basically they don't love power very much, they just follow Li Hao's arrangement, and then do their own things well. Of course, these are not compulsory, but based on their interest and ability.

In addition to being officials, there are many people who are struggling in scientific research, business or academia, and Li Hao didn't ask them to do anything. It's just that because they were all adopted by Li Hao, they have a lot of good relationship with Li.

So much so that some people secretly made a small report to Li Ke, but they were not ignored. If Li Hao wants to rebel, he will not do his best to improve the strength of Datang, and Li Ke himself is still very clear about the changes brought by Li Hao over the years. And even if he can sit on the throne, he can't do without Li Hao's help, Li Ke himself knows these very well, so what he believes in the most is Li Hao.

After Li Hao brought the army that swept away the natives and tribes on this side, he was ready to leave here. I haven't thought about swallowing it all right now, and it doesn't really matter if he's not here. In addition, in addition to facing the hazards of nature, the combat effectiveness of other places can basically be ignored, even if Li Hao is not used, it will be a matter of time before Africa is taken.

Starting from Africa, Li Hao chose to leave here by boat, followed by four European women. Although Li Hao's nationalism is strong, these women have been with Li Hao during this time, and he can't leave this woman here. However, after going back, it will be repaired well, and this Li Hao is also mentally prepared.

"Be careful! These are the best food materials, this time we went to Chang'an to participate in the God of Food Competition, whether we can win the prize or not, it all depends on these things. "Li Hao has his own ship alone, and there are many guards to escort him. Even if he wants to be low-key, whether it is Li Ke or the Tang Dynasty, they attach special importance to him and don't want him to have any accidents.

Li Hao's role in Datang is too great, in Li Ke's words, Li Hao personally pushed the entire Datang's scientific, technological, economic, and military strength forward for hundreds of years, if Li Hao has any accidents, it is estimated that people within a radius of thousands of miles will have to follow the bad luck, so his safety cannot be ignored.

When they arrived in the Persian Gulf, when Li Hao and they found a place to dock for supplies, several Tang merchants and Arabs carefully moved things to the ship, after listening to their words, Li Hao was a little surprised, it seems that the scope of the Tang Dynasty's Chef God Contest is now getting wider and wider, and even the people here are preparing for the God of Food Competition.

Li Hao had never been here to play in his previous life, so he didn't know what style of food was here. However, after watching some movies, he found that Arabic food has a bit of a Western feel, and there are appetizers, soups, salads, barbecues, desserts, etc., but the use of ingredients is very different.

Thinking of this, Li Hao simply took the guards to find an Arab restaurant with a good business nearby to eat, and saw if he could find any special food.

Arabs are actually very good at cooking, and the food is rich and colorful. Its meals are characterized by sweetness, aroma, spiciness, and greasy. Coffee and tea are indispensable beverages every day. Later generations of Arabs embraced Islam and forbade the eating of pork, ugly and unclean things, such as soft-shelled turtles and crabs, and dead animals. For example, when hunting wild meat, the hunter will quickly cut off its throat while the blood has not yet coagulated, otherwise it cannot be eaten.

But now these are gone, and after the Tang Dynasty's army bulldozed the rule of Che here, there is only one religion here, which is the state religion of the Tang Dynasty. The others are all on the sidelines, and if they don't follow the national religion, they all have to change, or they will go to the Americas to build a railroad. The construction of the north-south artery on the American side is now beginning and requires a lot of manpower.

"This drink is good! I didn't expect there to be some special food here. When he arrived, Li Hao and his guards found a place to sit down, and what he ate was made of dried yogurt and wheat grains, with a layer of olive oil on the surface, and a sour and salty taste.

In addition, various types of beef and mutton also occupy an important place here, and the recipes are varied. Li has a fresh feeling after eating, develops his latent taste buds, and makes his index finger move. This made him can't help but be a little nice to the owner of this hotel, which requires a little level.

In the past, the staple food of the Arabs was tortillas, wheat cakes and beans, and the main food of poor families was tortillas. Their meat is mutton, beef, and camel meat, but because of the environment, there is not much to eat. These things can make a good delicacy, and Li Hao is naturally good.

The restaurant's expensive dishes include fried pigeon, baked fish, and roasted whole lamb. Roasting a whole lamb is to remove the head and feet of a fat lamb, hollow out the internal organs, stuff it with rice, raisins, almonds, olives, pine nuts and other dried fruits and spices, and then enlarge the fire to roast. It is characterized by its tenderness, aroma and delicious taste.

The fried pigeon and baked fish also tasted good, and the rice was pilaf. The people here are very skilled in eating rice with their hands, they are not afraid of getting hot, and secondly, they can quickly tear off small pieces of meat and dishes with their fingers and send them to their mouths, and their fingers are not allowed to touch their mouths.

Li Hao is a little resistant to the pilaf, but there is no mandatory requirement here, otherwise Li Hao estimates that people can directly seal the restaurant. Eating pilaf by hand always feels less hygienic, and no matter how you wash it, your hands will always feel uncomfortable.

"Guest, are you satisfied with the food we eat? If you are satisfied, please remember to help us spread the word. Our boss is now preparing for the Datang God of Food Competition, and his skills are very good. While Li Hao was eating, a young Arab man came over with a smile and asked, speaking fluent Datang dialect.

Because the skin color is the same, and because the resistance to Datang here is not so high. The population of Canada is not very large, and the Arabs are in some respects close to the East. Therefore, Datang is not strict with the cleaning here, which makes Li Hao once object.

The ideas of his heart are all non-my race, and his heart must be different, and the people here may not be so reliable. You must know that there was a Pu Shou Geng in the Song Dynasty, and that guy was also from here. It's just that after the imperial court did this thing, Li Hao couldn't keep quiet.

It's just that the state religion is going to push for the clean-up work here, which must be believed in the state religion, and those who don't believe it, and those nobles are all counted as cleaning it up, and then they scrape it hard here, making the people here a lot more honest. The progress of sinicization is also very smooth.,It can be seen from the performance of this young man.。

"The food here is good, look at the reward!" Li Hao smiled after hearing this, the things here taste really good, especially the roasted whole sheep, which has the style of the core area of Datang, but there is more taste here, and it is not much worse than the roasted whole sheep that Li Hao once made.

"Thank you, guest!" It's a pity that this waiter doesn't know Li Hao, otherwise he would definitely call his boss out, and then let the boss talk to Li Haohao. Li Hao is not only the recognized god of food in Datang, but also the organizer of the God of Food competition they are about to participate in.

"This guy still barely has a vision." Li Hao's guards couldn't help but laugh when they saw the waiter leave happily after receiving the reward. If they can get Li Hao's guidance here, I'm afraid that the business and fame here will be even more famous, and Li Hao's name can make the Tang people here come to taste it one after another.

"It's normal, maybe he knows my name, but he definitely doesn't know the person." This is not the era of information explosion in later generations, when people become famous, photos and various materials will be dug up. At this time, even the camera hadn't spread much, except for familiar people, who knew Li Hao?

In the evening, Li Hao went to the governor's mansion here, and the chief of the governor's mansion here was still Li Hao's student. For Li Hao's arrival, this student was very excited. But knowing that Li Hao actually had a meal outside, this guy was a little disappointed, he actually wanted to taste Li Hao's craftsmanship.

"You don't have any special ingredients here, if there is, I can stay here for a long time."

Li Hao smiled and replied after seeing this guy's reaction. These students who were sent out were actually really hard, they could obey Li Hao's arrangement without regrets, and Li Hao would naturally not snub them in some small things. The time to return to Datang is not in a hurry, and Li Hao can arrange it freely, so there is no problem with him staying here for a few more days.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! There's a lot of seafood here, lobster and crab, so I'll have people prepare it and let them bring it back tomorrow morning. I also have a Persian song and dance troupe here, and I am going to participate in the Tang Song and Dance Contest and the Model Competition, so let them perform for the teacher. They did a good belly dance, and the show was ready to appear in a song and dance competition. ”

Seeing that Li Hao promised to stay here for more days, his student's expression instantly became excited, and even the song and dance troupe that took out the competition was taken out. These are the most beautiful young women of the Arabs around the Persian Gulf, and ordinary people can't see them.
