The addiction of tobacco stems from the dependence of the body on nicotine ingestion over time, and the Lotte in the previous life was more or less addicted to smoking, but the body of Lotte in the present life does not have a little dependence on nicotine, and the dependence on tobacco is only in the spirit. Oriental Reading Network

Perhaps this dependence can also be called feelings.

Although it was a little choking, it was a familiar smell, and the smoke that was inhaled and exhaled gave Lotte a sense of spiritual comfort and satisfaction.

Wang Yuanwai, Bai Yuanwai and others endured the choking smoke and watched Lotte swallow the fog here.

Another puff of smoke erupted, and Lotte looked at Shui Wang, asking, "Shui Wang, have you brought this tobacco seed?" ”

Flood Wang hurriedly replied: "Master Hou, the small ones have brought some." ”

Looking at Wang Yuanwai, Lotte said, "Father-in-law, set aside some land in the mountains to grow this tobacco!" ”

In response, Wang Yuanwai hesitated and asked kindly: "Master Hou, this thing ...... What's the use? ”

Not only Wang Yuanwai, but also Bai Yuanwai, Lu Jiang, Chen Hoop Bucket and others are also good.

"This thing is called tobacco, although the smell of burning is a little choking, it is not very good for people's bodies, and it is addictive, but after inhalation, it can relieve people's anxiety, and it can be used to repel snakes, insects, rats and ants in summer." Lotte introduced to everyone, and after finishing speaking, he smiled again: "If this thing is promoted, it will increase our income and the taxes of the imperial court." ”

Hearing Lotte say this, a group of people looked at each other left and right, and finally General Lu said: "Master Hou, I don't understand what Master Hou means!" ”

Shaking his hand and burning half of the cigarette roll, Lotte smiled: "Le Mou said that this thing can relieve stress, but it is also addictive, and its meaning to people is somewhat similar to tea, as long as it is promoted, its meaning does not need to be said by Le." ”

What is Tea? To put it bluntly, it is the leaves of trees, which are processed to soak in water, and sold overseas for the same weight of gold and silver, which can be described as a million profits.

And the meaning of Lotte is very obvious, to achieve this kind of thing called tobacco to the extent of tea, this is obviously the amazing place.

It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, Wang and Bai are like this, Chen Hoop and Lü Jiang have been with the fleet in the past few years to fight in the east and south, suppressing the natives who made trouble in Dongying and Luzon, and gradually became infected with the habit of profit-seeking by merchants, and never made a loss-making business.

At this time, the housekeeper of the king's outer house came and asked: "The chef of the master's kitchen asked the little one to ask the master, the wine and food have already been prepared, is it time to have a banquet?" ”

Nodding, Wang Yuanwai asked Lotte for instructions: "Master Hou, it's not early, is there anything to do and eat first?" ”

"Hmm!" Lotte snorted, took a hard puff of the cigarette in his hand, threw it on the ground and trampled it with his feet, and instructed the housekeeper of the Wang family: "You go to the warehouse and get a handful of that kind of dried chili peppers that are as red as fire, and order the chef in the kitchen to cut them into small pieces, remember to keep the chili seeds, don't throw them away, and then slaughter two little roosters of the year, and chop them into pieces the size of longan."

Heat the rapeseed oil in the pot, put in the peppercorns, green onions, ginger and garlic, then add the dried chili peppers, fry them until fragrant, then put in the chicken pieces, spray in soy sauce and vinegar to fry the fragrance, then add water and beans to stew together, and dry the juice and serve the table! ”

"Yes!" The housekeeper of the royal mansion remembered and hurriedly responded: "The little one will do what the Hou Ye tells him to do!" ”

"Remember, you can't throw away a single pepper seed, collect them all!" Lotte continued.

"I didn't expect Master Hou to be good at cooking, and he is a gourmet everyone!" After the housekeeper left, the white clerk said with a flattering smile.

"Although the recipe of this dish is a little rough, the beauty of the taste will be known after the table!" Lotte laughed.

"Master Hou, please!" Wang Yuan led the way, led Lotte and the others to the garden of the house, and then ordered the people to cook.

After everyone sat down, Lotte didn't say anything to everyone, but pulled Shui Shui Wang closer and said, "Shui Wang, let me ask you, have you ever seen a tree in the Americas, where the local natives cut a hole in the bark of the tree, and the tree will have white sap flowing out, and this tree water will solidify into a gelatinous substance?" It's just that this kind of tree is not cold-tolerant, and can only be planted in hot places, such as Qiongya and Liangguang in my Great Song Dynasty, but it cannot survive in other places. ”

"Master Hou is talented, he actually knows that there is such a thing in the Americas!" Hearing Lotte say this, Flood Wangxin was surprised.

Since Flood Wang came back, he has mentioned the Americas with Wang Yuanwai, Bai Yuanwai and others, but to everyone's surprise, Lotte's understanding of the situation in the Americas actually knows that there are more people who have been in contact with Flood Wang.

Listening to Hong Wang's words, Lotte just nodded and didn't say much.

"Master Hou, I have seen the small tree you mentioned just now, and the local natives in the Americas will cultivate this kind of tree, and there is also a set of rubber tapping process, which produces sap like glue sap from this tree in the cloak to prevent rain, and the effect is very good." Flood Wang hurriedly said, and then said as if begging: "Master Hou, the little one returned to the Great Song Dynasty, and brought a lot of this gum tree sapling, because of the climate of my Great Song Dynasty, the small one asked Wang Yanei to open up a piece of land in Luzon, which was specially used to plant this kind of tree." ”

"You're doing a great job!" Lotte nodded.

The development of modern industry in later generations is inextricably linked with rubber, as we all know, rubber is the basic raw material of industry, and later generations are usually used to manufacture tires, hoses, tapes, cables and various mouths like glue, and even almost all industrial sectors are inseparable from rubber.

Lotte had planned to use a steam engine to propel the steam locomotive, but it was abandoned because the friction between the wooden wheels and the ground was too great and the speed was extremely slow, but with the tires made of rubber, it was possible to avoid this kind of wheel friction and extremely slow speed, so how could Lotte not be happy.

And with rubber, wires don't need to be insulated by costly and insulating hemp coils.

After receiving Lotte's praise, Hong Hung Wang continued to express his merits: "Master Hou, the little one also found several dye plants in the Americas that can be used to dye cloth, as well as trees that can treat headaches and brain fever, and drugs that can anesthetize people, and brought the seedlings back to the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"You're doing a great job!" Listening to Flood Wang's performance, Lotte nodded again and again, turned his head and instructed Shakuhachi: "Shakuhachi, open a deed ticket with 1,000 guan and Flood Wang, and the rest of the crew members who returned with Flood Wang will each be rewarded with 100 yuan!" ”

"Master Hou, how can this be done, the king has already given a reward to the younger ones and a group of brothers!" Flood Wang hurriedly excused himself.

"Don't excuse yourself!" Lotte said with a smile: "The reward given to you by Wang Yuanwai before was given to you on behalf of the company, and this time it was Le Moumou's personal encouragement, and your name will definitely be written in the history of the future to make my Chinese descendants remember it." ”

"I haven't thanked Master Hou yet!" Wang Yuanwai said busily.

After Shui Wang thanked him, Lotte nodded and ordered: "Shui Wang, take two people to the warehouse to bring you crops from the Americas, Le Mou wants to explain to everyone here the significance of this trip to the Americas to my China." ”

Hung Shui Wang answered, and the housekeeper of the Wang family next to him was busy leading the way to the warehouse for Hung Shui Wang.

When Hung Wang and the others arrived with corn, sweet potatoes and other crops in their hands, Lotte got up and first picked up a corn and said to the crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, this thing is like topaz, called corn, which is very suitable for planting in arid climates and barren land, and it only takes about 100 days from sowing to harvesting, but the yield is at least twice that of the same rice and wheat. ”

After speaking, Lotte picked up the sweet potato again and said, "This thing is called sweet potato, and it can also be called a sweet potato or sweet potato, which is very easy to grow, and the yield is more than ten times that of wheat and rice......

When Bai Yuanwai and others heard this, they were shocked and knew that if corn and sweet potatoes were widely planted in the Great Song Dynasty, the people of the Great Song Dynasty would not be hungry, and the government would no longer be worried about the lack of rice and grain, and the significance was not ordinarily huge.

Speaking of this, Lotte's gaze swept over everyone present, and said meaningfully: "Just these two crops, not to mention the rest of the crops, everyone will know its significance and influence on my Great Song Dynasty......"

Everyone nodded subconsciously, and Bai Yuanwai even said: "Master Hou, what do you want us to do, we will all listen to Master Hou's orders!" ”

"Bai Yuanwai is right, what you command, Master Hou, I will do it later!" Wang Yuanwai, Lu Jiang and others also hurriedly said.

When the audience said this, Lotte nodded: "Le's meaning is very simple, set aside a piece of land to hire people who are proficient in farming, plant these crops brought from the Americas, and send special personnel to guard them, and after the harvest in the first few years, try not to eat it, and use it as a seed for large-scale promotion, so that the people of my Great Song Dynasty will no longer starve." ”

Lotte's voice fell, and everyone nodded again and again. Bai Yuanwai even had an idea, and said to Lotte: "Master Hou, the old man has an idea, let's set up a maritime college, it is better to set up another agricultural college, specializing in training some agricultural technicians, to improve the varieties of wheat, rice and other crops, so that they are more suitable for the growth of various lands and increase yields." ”

"Father-in-law's proposal is very good!" Lotte nodded, "At present, the industry under the name of our company, in addition to the impact of the war in the north, the ticket number is a little lossy, the maritime trade and overseas mineral business is quite rich every year, the maritime college has been run, and there is no more agricultural college, corn, sweet potatoes and other things will be cultivated in the agricultural college." ”

"Master Hou, the chicken nuggets you ordered to burn are ready......"

After Lotte's words fell, someone entered the pavilion and brought a large plate of red spicy chicken nuggets to the table.

The air wafts with a spicy and choking aroma.

"I'm sorry everyone, Le Mou was rude today!" Seeing the spicy chicken nuggets on the table, Lotte was not as gentle as before, picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, and feasted on a large piece.

The taste of memories, the taste that has not been tasted for many years, hot and fragrant, rare in the world, Lotte immediately fell into the memories of the past and deliciousness......

Ahem......

Soon a violent coughing sound came into Lotte's ears, pulling Lotte back from the memories of his previous life, only to see Wang Yuanwai, Bai Yuanwai, Lu Jiang and others all sticking out their tongues and coughing incessantly.

"Water...... Water...... Water, get water and rinse my mouth. Wang Yuanwai couldn't help but shout.

After pouring two large cups of cold tea in a row, it was only after relieving the burning pain caused by the chili pepper in the mouth, Chen Hoop asked with a painful expression: "Master Hou, what is this, why is it so spicy?" ”

In the face of the tragic image of everyone being spicy to tears and snot, Lotte I was still taking care of myself and eating the chicken nuggets on the plate, and at the same time accompanied by good Huadiao wine, and said indifferently: "This thing is called chili, and you will get used to eating it a few times in the future, and you will know its benefits when you stay in winter, and you will be more addicted!" ”
