Chapter 64: Scher's Scimitar
Different parallel universes have different time differences.
I haven't seen it for many days at Yangquan Restaurant. Nizam is in a plane that may have spent years.
…………
Today, Nizam is no longer the severely malnourished teenager with a big belly, a bare body, a tattered blanket, and tattered straw sandals underfoot.
He was well-dressed in a tunic tunics, wide trousers with ankle cuffs, and a woolen hat.
"Give me a bowl of Sapporo ramen and half a bowl of rice. Another glass of Sapporo bulk beer. Nizam ordered.
"Hey!" Gifutaro went to the barrel and poured a large glass of beer.
"Nizam, how have you been?" Nobunaga Hato, skillfully making Hokkaido Sapporo ramen, chatted with Nizam.
"I'm very grateful for the canned fish back then. I replaced those cans with plenty of coarse wheat and carried them through the famine. Later, Prince Nasser-al-Din, recruited the Junior Guard Corps, and I was chosen. ”
Nizam took a sip of beer and ate a piece of mentaiko and let out a comfortable exclamation.
"This ...... It's so cool. ”
Pickled mentai roe with chili peppers and spices is perfect for sake.
…………
Nobunaga Hato, shredded the cabbage, blanched the oil noodles in hot water, drained them and set aside, and said, "Boys' Guards...... Sounds like a good post. ”
Nizam showed a scar on his arm, which looked like a canine bite.
"This is the Enfield M1838 shot-gun with shrapnel tearing marks."
"The old king thinks that the prince's boy guard corps is too expensive. So, Cossack instructors, let's practice with real guns and live ammunition to reduce personnel and increase efficiency...... However, there is also a reward for the effort. ”
Tons and tons of ......
【Ding! Nizam fell into a sore drink! 】
Nizam drank half of his beer, spat on it, and said:
"I have been selected as the prince's squire and am going on a study tour in Europe. We have to learn from Western factories, guns, artillery. We're going to change Persia! ”
Nobunaga listened to Nizam's description and lamented the inertia of history in his heart.
…………
Historically, Nizam, who was born poor, was sold into slavery in the estate of the former prime minister of Persia, and because he was clever and clever, he was reused by the housekeeper and stood out.
He was even recommended by the former prime minister to serve as a secretary in the government.
Working as a technocrat in the Persian government gave Nizam the opportunity to travel to Russia, which was his first trip to Europe.
During his 11-month visit to Russia, Nizam was struck by Russia's achievements in industry, technology, culture and education.
While expressing his admiration for the success of Russia's modernization, Nizam also planted seeds and hope for Iran's future reforms.
…………
However, it was Nizam's second visit that really gave him the opportunity to start the wave of reform in Iran himself.
This time, Nizam was accompanied by Prince Nasser-al-Din.
During their visit to Armenia, both Nizam and Nasser al-Din were shocked by what they saw.
Armenia, which had been in ruins for just over 10 years, has undergone earth-shaking changes. Nizam and the young Nassr al-Din had to lament the power of Russia's modernization reforms.
During his second visit, Nizam also forged a strong friendship with the young Nasser-al-Din.
This friendship was crucial to Nizam's efforts to carry out reforms in the future.
…………
Because of the canned sardines and canned salmon given by Nobunaga Hato, the fate of Nizam in the parallel universe has changed greatly.
However, the inertia of fate, which was strong, still led him to the side of Prince Nasser-al-Din, the future king of Persia.
………………………………
【Ding! Fledgling Hokkaido Sapporo ramen】
【Ding! Half a bowl of white rice without any worries】
"It smells so good. Or this rich taste. Nizam mungulates Sapporo ramen.
【Ding! The results are fantastic! 】
The soup base is pork bone broth dissolved in miso sauce, served with vegetables stir-fried with lard and garlic, and a thin layer of lard flowers floating on top of the soup. The noodles are mostly corrugated with medium thickness, and they are full of toughness.
The precipitation of time and memories makes the deliciousness in memory further sublimated and superimposed to the limit of taste bud impact.
…………
【Ding! Nizam had a lot of fun! 】
Hokkaido Sapporo ramen, served with half a bowl of white rice, unsurprisingly, was well received by diners.
Nizam paid for the meal this time, not with Toman notes, but with a Scherschel scimitar.
This is a Kurdistanian, popular double-edged scimitar. In terms of origin, it belongs to a type of Persian scimitar, which is usually worn on the right side of the belt.
The handle and sheath are made of silver, the blade curves like a protruding rib, and the scabbard is inlaid with blue broken stones.
In addition to the royal emblem, the pattern on the end of the knife also contains a local Ali script, which is pronounced "Ya fath" or "Ya fatah", which means victory.
This was the reward of the Persian royal family.
Compared to the last Toman banknote, the value of this Schercher cutlass was enough to eat 1,000 bowls of Sapporo ramen in the 70s of the 20th century.
…………
"In this plane, was the Persian reform in the 19th century successful?"
As he left, Nizam blushed and drunk and asked the question.
【Ding! Plane repulsion is abnormal! 】
【Ding! Plane repulsion の is highly dangerous! 】
In Nobunaga's mind, an alarm sounded to continuously improve the repulsion of the plane, this is the [Yangquan Restaurant] system, warning that history has revealed too much......
Nobunaga Hato, who lit a handmade cigarette, paused for a moment, looked at the Schesch scimitar on the table, and said.
"Four thousand years of history, eight thousand miles of rivers and mountains, thousands of people, what is the difference between one more knife and one less."
Nizam was silent for a moment, then said firmly: "It's man-made. ”
