readx;?? c_t; Zhang Jiashi is very dissatisfied with the food of the ancients, it should be said that Zhang Jiashi, who is accustomed to eating spicy food occasionally, has to say that the improvement of the taste of the food at the moment can be regarded as a vain.

Because don't talk about chili, cumin, not even pepper, how can we improve the situation in this regard?

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi can be said to be very helpless about some situations, after all, if he wants to make the taste of the future generations with peppercorns alone, he has to express heheda.

Zhang Jiashi remembers seeing a joke before, which was about a time-traveler who traveled to a certain dynasty and wanted to eat nothing.

Hawkers, this kind of thing happened to him, and there was no way to change it accordingly, this mood made Zhang Jiashi cry and laugh.

For example, the two main crops of pepper, black pepper and white pepper, are not native to China, which makes Zhang Jiashi have to say what kind of thing is this?

Black pepper is native to the Malabar coast of South India and is widely cultivated both locally and in other tropical regions after its spread. The fruit of black pepper is blackish-red when ripe and contains a seed, and when dried, it becomes a 5 mm diameter pepper drupe.

Dried ground black pepper is a common spice used in European-style dishes, and since ancient times, black pepper has been prized for its dual value in terms of flavoring and medicine. Black pepper comes from the piperine it contains. Ground black pepper, often abbreviated as "pepper", is one of the most widely used spices in the world and can be found on tables around the world, often along with refined table salt.

White pepper, also known as pepper in the mouth of the Chinese, is native to Southeast Asia and was cultivated in the tropics in later generations. It is cultivated in Taiwan, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan provinces.

Pepper grows in shady woods. Slow growth, heat-tolerant, cold-tolerant, drought-resistant, wind-resistant, shear-resistant, and easy to transplant. Not resistant to waterlogging. The cultivation soil is preferably fertile sandy loam, with good drainage and light.

The appearance of pepper is woody climbing vine, the stems and branches are glabrous, the nodes are significantly enlarged, and the roots are often small. Leaves thick, nearly leathery, broadly ovate to ovate-oblong, rare nearly rounded, 10-15 cm long, 5-9 cm wide, apex short pointed, base rounded, often slightly oblique, glabrous on both sides; leaf veins 5-7, rare 9, the top pair alternate, 1.5-3.5 cm from the base from the midrib, the rest are from the base, the outermost pair is extremely weak, the reticulate veins are distinct; The petiole is 1-2 cm long, glabrous, and the leaf sheath is elongated, often half the length of the petiole. Flowers heterogeneous, usually monoecious; inflorescences opposite to leaves, shorter than or as long as leaves; pedicels nearly equal in length to petioles, glabrous; bracts spoon-shaped, oblong, 3-3.5 cm long, about 0.8 mm wide in the middle, broad and rounded at the apex, separated from the inflorescence axis, shallowly cup-shaped, narrow and long, conjugated with the inflorescence axis, separated only at the margins, stamens 2, anthers kidney-shaped, filaments stubby and short, ovary spherical, stigma 3-4, rare 5. The berries are spherical, sessile, 3-4 mm in diameter, red when ripe, and turn black when unripe when dried. Flowering period is from June to October.

Well, even if Zhang Jiashi knew some things about pepper, he had to say that it was useless to know so much, because he couldn't get pepper or black pepper at the moment.

Not to mention that it seems to be still in chaos at the moment, whether the Peacock Dynasty, which has entered the countdown to its demise, can find Black Pepper, just because of the distance of the road and the obstacles of the Huns, Zhang Jiashi has to say that in order to be a foodie, he has to let his subordinates do nine deaths, or even ten deaths (Cantonese dialect, indicating that there is no possibility of success in a matter or the meaning of death), he has to give up this relatively unrealistic idea. Read the full text of the latest chapter

And now that the Dayue clan has been expelled by the Huns, maybe in less than a few years, the Great Qin Empire will face a full-scale offensive by the Huns, I am afraid that at that time, even if the black pepper is successfully found from the land controlled by the Mauryan Empire, it is estimated that it will be a major test on the way back.

As for the sea from Nanhai County, or from the Qiang control, or even thousands of miles of uninhabited areas, across the Tibetan Plateau, through the Himalayas to the Mauryan Empire-controlled areas...... Hawkers, Zhang Jiashi thinks that if he wants to trap his subordinates, it is more practical to directly convict him of a trumped-up crime.

......

As for cumin, it was relatively probable, but after a failed plan to find cotton a few years ago, Zhang Jiashi temporarily abandoned his plan to send a caravan to the Western Regions.

Cumin, also known as: dry tea, cumin celery, native to Egypt, Ethiopia. In southern Xinjiang, it is called cumin. In later generations, cumin was mainly distributed in India, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, China and the former Soviet Union in Central Asia, cumin is the king of condiments, suitable for meat cooking, and can also be used as a spice. The fruit of cumin can be used in medicine to treat indigestion and stomach cold and abdominal pain. The medicinal and edible value is very high.

Cumin belongs to the genus Umbellifere, its crop time is an annual or biennial herb, 20-40 cm high, the whole plant (except the fruit) smooth and glabrous. The petioles are 1-2 cm long or nearly sessile, with a narrowly lanceolate sheath, the leaves are three-fold and pinnately lobed, and the terminal lobes are narrowly linear, 1.5-5 cm long and 0.3-0.5 mm wide. Compound umbel inflorescences numerous, mostly bifid branched, umbel inflorescences 2-3 cm in diameter; total bracts 3-6, linear or linear-lanceolate, margins membranous, white, apex with long mang-like spines, sometimes 3-deeply lobed, unequal, 1-5 cm long, reflexed, umbrella spokes 3-5, unequal length; small umbel inflorescences usually have 7 flowers, small total bracts 3-5, similar to total bracts, apex needle-shaped, reflexed, smaller, 3.5-5 mm long, 0.5 mm wide; petals pink or white, oblong, slightly absent at apex, with small tongues folded inward; calyx teeth drill-shaped, longer than columella; pedigre-conical base, short, forked, stigma capitate, meristem oblong, narrow at both ends, 6 mm long, 1.5 mm wide, densely covered with white bristles, 1 tubing in each groove, 2 tubing in the conglomerate, and slightly concave on the ventral surface of the endosperm. The flowering period is April, and the fruiting period is May.

Zhang Jiashi could not determine whether the present nature had been circulated to the Western Regions or the Parthian Empire further west through trade between the East and the West, and had begun to cultivate accordingly.

The Thiothian Empire, which had previously controlled the Parthians, should have contributed to the circulation of cumin as a spice from its internal agricultural development. However, Zhang Jiashi believes that this statement is unreliable, because in the Qingyu Lingshu, there are not many descriptions of the Sethian Empire, which is basically based on the Parthian Empire.

Therefore, in this regard, Zhang Jiashi could not make up his mind to make corresponding plans and arrangements in this regard.

......

In the corresponding historical descriptions of later generations, the Théthisidians and the Egyptians have corresponding accounts of exchanges and even wars:

Antiochus II fought wars against Byzantium (presumably Istanbul, not the later Byzantine Empire), Galaklia, and Thrace, resulting in the loss of large territories in the East. He maintained good relations with the Mauryan king of India, Ashoka, and allowed Buddhism to spread within the Seleucid kingdom.

Antiochus II united Macedonia to launch the Second Syrian War (261 BC ~ 255 BC) against King Ptolemy II of Egypt to regain most of the lost territory in Anatolia, including Miletus, Ephesus and the Phoenician coast. In 258 BCE, Antiochus II recovered Miletus and overthrew the cruel Miletus tyrant Timarcus. The people of Miletus thus gave him the corresponding title, which means "god".

In 248 BCE, he married Belerici, the daughter of Ptolemy II, and broke off relations with his former wife, Laudith I, and granted her a large domain, achieving a truce between the Seleucid and Ptolemaic dynasties. But these two queens sparked the Imperial Civil War and the Third Syrian War after his death.

During the reign of Théthisi II, Berenicki's death sparked the Third Syrian War. Ptolemy III, the pharaoh (king) of Egypt, was the brother of Belerici, and Ptolemy III immediately set out to avenge his slain sister by declaring war on the newly crowned Seleucus II.

In 246 BC Seleucus II was defeated in the Third Syrian War. Ptolemy III once occupied the city of Antioch. In 245 BCE, Laudice I asked Seleucus II to give his brother Antioch Ieras co-regency and the right to govern Anatolia in Seleucid territory. Antioch Ioras declared** that this move jeopardized Seleucus' efforts to fend off Ptolemy. The Seleucid Empire turned to war in Syria, and in 241 BC Seleucus made peace with Ptolemis and ceded the coastal areas of Syria to Egypt. Ptolemy III captured the fortress of Antioch and killed Laudis I. He then went east into the territory of the king of the north, plundered Babylon, and then marched on India.

From the above records, it can be seen that the Thiosian and the Ptolemaic dynasty of the Egyptians had a deep grudge and corresponding people-to-people exchanges over a period of several decades, and it is likely that the black pepper native to Egypt was transplanted to Central Asia during this period or during the previous Alexander Empire.

Alexander's empire spanned three continents, Europe, Asia and Africa, and the internal ties between them may not have changed much due to Alexander's early death, but it is undeniable that it was also an important opportunity for nature to be transplanted.

In 323 BCE, Alexander died of a sudden illness while preparing for an expedition to the Arabian Peninsula at the age of 33. Because the empire was just beginning, the system was not perfect, and Alexander was too young to consider and arrange the succession, so he left a power vacuum that no one could fill. With the rapid disintegration of central power, governors everywhere became self-reliant and engaged in a life-and-death struggle for Alexander's legacy. In 301 BC, the Battle of Ippsus (also known as the Battle of the Successors) in Phrygia ended the dispute, and the empire was divided into a number of kingdoms, among which the Ptolemaic Kingdom (305-30 BC), the Seleucid Kingdom (312-64 BC) and the Macedonian Kingdom established by Alexander's ministry were the most powerful. Since this period was the period of widespread spread of Greek culture in North Africa and West Asia, and also a period of extensive exchanges between Greek and Eastern cultures, the period from the collapse of Alexander's empire to the fall of the last Greek-ruled kingdom, the Ptolemaic Kingdom, is called the "Hellenistic Era".

Cassander ruled Greece, Lysynmarcus occupied Thrace, Seleucus I, known as the "victor", received Mesopotamia and Iran, and Ptolemy I received the Levant (referring to the eastern Mediterranean states) and Egypt. Antigonus I established a brief reign in Asia Minor and Syria, but was soon defeated by four other generals. Control of Indian territory was short-lived, ending when Seleucus I was defeated by Chandragupta Maurpy (the first emperor of the Mauryan Empire).

Antigonus I may have been a commander with considerable military prowes, as he would not have been besieged by the other four post-Alexandrian states in the Fourth War of the Diadochi (308 BC to 301 BCE).

Because in the three previous wars of the Diadochi, the contradictions between these countries were also quite profound.

In 308 BCE, the War of the Diadochi broke out again. Ptolemy extended his power to the Aegean Sea and Cyprus, while Seleucus toured the East to consolidate his grip on Alexander's vast eastern territories. Antigonus rekindled the war and sent his son Dmitry to retake Greece. In 307 BCE, he took down Athens, ousted the governor of Cassander, Dmitry, and declared Athens free. Dmitry then pointed the finger at Ptolemy, who invaded Cyprus and routed Ptolemaic fleet at the Battle of Salamis in 306 BC. After this victory, Antigonus and Dmitry became kings together, and Ptolemy, Seleucus, Lysimachus, and Cassander became kings one after another.

In 306 BCE, Antigonus attempted to invade Egypt, but the storm prevented Dmitry from supplying him, so he had to return home. By this time, Cassander and Ptolemy had become weaker, while Seleucus still held the east, and Antigonus and Dmitry had turned their attention to Rhodes. In 305 BCE, Rhodes was besieged by Dmitry, supported by Ptolemy, Lysimachus, and Cassander. Eventually, the Rhodians compromised with Dmitry, promising to support Antigonus and Dmitry against all their enemies and cut off their greatest ally, Ptolemy. Later, however, Ptolemy earned the title of "Savior" because he prevented the fall of Rhodes, but the victory ultimately belonged to Dmitry, as he was able to attack Cassander in Greece with all his might. Dmitry returned to Greece, defeated Cassander, and formed a new Greek alliance to defend the Greek city against all enemies (especially Cassander). Dmitry was the general of the Union Army.

In the midst of these wars, Cassander ostensibly sought peace, but Antigonus refused, and Dmitry invaded Thessaly. There, Dmitry and Cassander were engaged in a tug-of-war with each other. This time, Cassander summoned allies to help, and Lysimachus's invasion of Anatolia forced Demetrian to leave Thessaly and send troops to Asia Minor to assist his father. With Cassandre's help, Lysimachos was able to run amok in Sianatonia. However, not long after (301 BC), he was isolated from Ipsurus by Antigonus and Dmitry. Seleucus' intervention was crucial, as he arrived in time to save Lysimachus and completely destroy Antigonus's army at the Battle of Ipsus. Antigonus was killed in battle, and Dmitry fled back to Greece in an attempt to preserve his strength. Lysimachus and Seleucus divided the territories left by Antigonus in Asia: Lysimachus took over Asia Minor, while Seleucus took over the rest, cutting off Cilicia and Lycchia and giving them to Cassander's brothers, who had contributed to the battle.

......

Zhang Jiashi thought of this kind of history more than a hundred years ago in the consideration of the food arrangement of the banquet, and he also thought it was funny, because he may have thought of such a thing in the matter of cumin because he was really free.

But no matter what, although it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, Zhang Jiashi still tried his best to think of some dishes that needed to be used in the cooking methods of later generations at banquets.

What Zhang Jiashi didn't know was that his arrangement in this area would create a precedent, and what he didn't expect was that he would gradually swing the troops of the Great Qin Empire westward after more than ten years.
