Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1845, Rough Golden Continent

In the Zhiwei Restaurant in Yazhou City, Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin ate food and wine leisurely.

After more than ten days of sailing on the ship, I have long been tired of eating all kinds of food carried on the ship. Naturally, I have to taste the local delicacies when I arrive here.

"Well, this roast lamb is not bad, the meat is very tender, without the slightest smell of lamb."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help admiring the roast lamb.

Roast lamb, Emperor Hongzhi naturally ate too much.

Since the Northern Grassland was incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty have realized the freedom to eat mutton, and the steady stream of cattle and sheep from the northern grassland has enriched the tables of the Ming people.

As Emperor Hongzhi was the Son of Heaven, cattle and sheep were naturally common dishes.

But because I have been sailing at sea for more than ten days, I haven't eaten fresh roast lamb for a long time. After I tasted it, I immediately applauded it.

"Guest officer, I can see that you are an expert. The roast lamb of our Zhiwei Restaurant is quite particular."

"Although our store is not too big, and it is only opened in a small place like Yazhou, but the craftsmanship of this roast lamb is passed down from our boss' ancestors."

"First of all, this sheep must be a sheep produced here in the southern Huangjinzhou prairie. Only choose sheep that are about one year old. Such sheep are not too big or too small, just right."

"Besides, the South Huangjinzhou prairie is the best and largest grassland in the world. The mutton grown there is of good quality, and the smell of mutton is also low. The breeds of sheep are also carefully bred, and the meat quality is excellent."

"Secondly, there are materials and processes. Our boss's requirements are very strict. The materials are all from our local Daming. You can get the famous Roasted Lamb of Golden Continent!"

Zhao Nan, the waiter who came over to serve the food, also bragged quickly when he heard what Emperor Hongzhi said.

"Well, it seems that your roasted lamb is quite famous."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately said with a smile.

"That's right, it's quite famous. Many people from Penglai City come here to eat. Our boss is also thinking about opening a branch here in Penglai City."

Zhao Nan said proudly: "Whenever an expedition team comes back, our business here will be quite booming. If the expedition team finds gold and silver, it will cost a lot of roasted sheep at one time. Drinking wine When I came here, I had to drink several large jars at once."

"Haha, what good wine do you have here? It's best to be locally produced in Jinjinzhou."

When Hongzhi heard this, he laughed even more happily.

"Speaking of wine, you have come to the right place. Our Zhiwei Restaurant has a variety of good wines. We come from Daming, Xinghuacun, Nv'erhong, Fenjiu, Guojiao, and Waguo. Sake from Japan, red wine from Europe, and of course the tequila, sweet potato yaki and corn wine from our Golden Continent are indispensable!"

As soon as Zhao Nan, the waiter in the shop, heard that he wanted to drink, he immediately began to introduce the fine wine in the shop.

"What is tequila?"

"It's the first time I've heard it."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi asked quickly.

"This tequila is made from agave. Agave is a unique plant in our Golden Continent. Its leaves can be used to make strong ropes, which are very resistant to friction and seawater corrosion. Comparable to sisal."

"Tequila balls can be used to brew tequila. This tequila, like the national cellar, is a distilled liquor. It is very strong. It is also the most popular here. Those explorers My favorite is tequila."

Zhao Nan said quickly.

"So that's it, then a catty~"

After listening to Emperor Hongzhi, he nodded half-understood and said.

"Okay, a catty of tequila!"

As soon as Zhao Nan heard it, he immediately sang a single track.

"This sweet potato and corn can also be used to make wine?"

Liu Jin has been listening, tequila is naturally very famous in later generations, it is the soul of Mexico, but he did not expect that someone in Daming has already used it to make wine.

But what really surprised Liu Jin was that the sweet potatoes and corn can also be used to make wine.

"of course."

"When we Daming people first immigrated to this Golden Isle, we couldn't bring any wine because of the long distance, but drinking is a custom of our Daming people."

"So someone thought of using local sweet potatoes and corn to make wine. These things are everywhere here and are very easy to grow. I didn't expect that wine could actually be made."

Zhao Nan explained to Liu Jin with a smile.

"That's it~"

"We Daming people are smart and hardworking, and we will try our best to live a better life no matter where we go."

After Liu Jin listened, he suddenly realized, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help sighing.

"That's right, we Daming people are like this. No matter what kind of situation we are in, we Daming people can always improve our lives and create better lives."

Zhao Nan also nodded and said.

"Boy, looking at you, you seem to be a bit out of place in Daming."

Liu Jin looked at the waiter in the shop, and found that the other party's eyes were blue. After a closer look, he found that the bridge of the nose was higher and the skin was fairer, so he should be of mixed race.

"Sir, I'm going to get angry when you say this, I'm a native of Ming Dynasty."

"Although my mother is European, my father is an out-and-out Daming. I am also from Daming. How can it be said that I am not from Daming?"

When Zhao Nan heard this, he immediately became a little angry.

"Haha, sorry, sorry!"

When Liu Jin saw it, he quickly cupped his hands and apologized, saying, "I'm just a little curious. I think my younger brother should only be in his teens."

"Mr. Hui, I am sixteen years old this year."

Zhao Nan said.

"Why didn't you go to school?"

Liu Jin thought for a while and asked.

"I'm not very good at studying, so I didn't pass the exam, so I came out to do things. First, I worked in this Zhiwei restaurant for a few years. When I grow up a bit, I plan to go out with my father to explore and become an explorer."

Zhao Nan smiled awkwardly and said.

"Haha, yes, the ambition is very lofty."

"Are there many brothers and sisters in your family?"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and praised, and then asked about the situation in Zhao Nan's house.

"My family has quite a lot of brothers and sisters. My father married a sixteen-room concubine. Now there are more than 40 brothers and sisters. The eldest is in his 20s and is currently managing the gold and silver mines at home. "

"The little one has just been born, and is now on the family farm. Only teenagers like me will come out to do things."

Zhao Nan said quickly, it can be heard that he doesn't seem to be taken seriously at home, otherwise, he should also go to work in the gold and silver mines in the family, instead of being a waiter in this restaurant.

"Then you have so many brothers and sisters, more than 40 brothers and sisters, the family is very large."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately said.

"Haha, it's okay."

"Here in our Golden Island, every household is similar, and some rich people have more, and there are even hundreds of brothers and sisters."

Zhao Nan said with a smile.

"That's really huge, there's no way to compare it to Daming's local side."

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi immediately sighed.

People in the Golden Continent can really give birth. Of course, the main reason is that there are more women. If there are more women, they will naturally have more children. Ordinary families are not like royal families. The court struggle is dark, and many of them are gone in the stomach.

In addition, there is a lot of land and resources here, and it is easy to raise children. Almost every household has its own farm, and it can support a large family casually.

Unlike the local side of Ming Dynasty, where there are many people and little land, it is not easy to raise a few, let alone a large group. Of course, women are also the most important labor force here in Golden Island.

Men are out and about, and women are at home with their children farming or something.

"The native land of Ming Dynasty is better than the native land of Ming Dynasty, and the Golden Continent is better than the local one of Golden Continent."

Zhao Nan said with a smile.

While talking, there was a rush of horseshoes coming from outside, and a dozen or so people on horses. The dusty people got off their horses skillfully, walked into Zhiwei Restaurant and shouted: "Old Tu, bring the good wine and roast sheep quickly."

"Grandma, after running outside for 2 months, I didn't gain anything at all, and I ate thin-swallowed bran every day, and I lost dozens of catties."

"Okay, I'll be here soon, I'll be here soon, I'll serve you a few side dishes to accompany the wine and eat first, the roast lamb will start roasting soon~"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly came out with a smile, and seeing that it was an acquaintance, he quickly asked, "Did you encounter a gold mine outside this time?"

"Don't mention it, there is no harvest at all, let alone gold mines, even silver has not been found."

"Hey, I've been busy this year, and I haven't found anything."

The leading expedition leader drank a big gulp of wine, sighed, shook his head and said.

Explorers rely on their luck to eat. When luck comes, they find gold mines and get rich overnight, but most of the time they have nothing to gain, and they all return empty-handed.

"It's okay, it's okay~"

"Go out after the new year, next year will definitely be a lot of good luck, gold and silver are waiting for you."

Shopkeeper Tu quickly poured wine for him and comforted him.

"Haha, with your good words, with your good words, hurry up and serve the roast lamb, and wait for the ladies after eating~"

"Haha, okay, okay~"

Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin upstairs also laughed when they heard the bold discussions of these explorers downstairs.

The people in the Golden Continent seem to be born adventurous. They have been running outside for many years, looking for gold and silver, and they are very rough in doing things.

The wine should be the strongest tequila and sweet potato burnt, and there must be more women and stronger, so that it tastes good. All of this is very different from Daming. Relatively speaking, the people of Daming are more gentle and refined.

Of course, this is something that has been cultivated here in Huangjinzhou for a long time. Gold and silver mines are hard to find, and they will be robbed if they are found. People bully.
