America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

Chapter 93 The Voice of China, Cultural Invasion

As soon as the phonograph went on sale in the United States, sales of the phonograph began in European countries and all regions covered by the Universal Patent Group.

Similarly, the first episode also featured Voice of China.

Even though many candle holders didn't sell, the word "first" was written on them.

Moreover, these "Voices of China" are not all Li Changsheng's introductions to China.

On the French Chinese Radio, there are songs like "High Mountains and Flowing Water" and "Ambush from Ten Sides".

On the Chinese Voice in the British Empire, it was Peking Opera.

On the German Chinese Radio, it's Sun Tzu's Art of War and the Thirty-Six Stratagems.

The Southeast Asian version of "Voice of China" features Chinese poetry.

On the African version of "Voice of China," there are introductions to traditional Chinese festivals and customs.

The voice of China resonates in different countries.

At the same time, Li Changsheng handed over the production and sales of phonographs in the Qing Empire to Daoxuan.

Therefore, the Voice of China of the Qing Empire introduces the Qing Empire during this period.

In the Far East, they even sell Chinese language tutorials directly.

Furthermore, in order to enable more people to learn Mandarin, it was specifically required that each village be equipped with a phonograph and corresponding Mandarin teaching materials.

This incident infuriated the Russians, who banned the purchase of phonographs within their borders, but it had no effect; those who liked them still bought them.

If we're talking about talent, the most talented one here should be Chen Junshen, the clone located in the Hawaiian Islands.

Because Li Changsheng specially summoned many clones in the Hawaiian Islands to help Canghai control Hawaii, half of them were natives and half were Chinese.

Those on the mainland control everything within the country through various means.

Meanwhile, on the Chinese side, several agents have already begun to take control of the Chinese laborers' groups.

The remaining people will have to wait for new immigrants to arrive before they can take control of these people.

So these Chinese clones, having nothing else to do, participated in recording "Voice of China".

Li Changsheng left the affairs of the Hawaiian Islands unattended, allowing them to handle them as they saw fit.

As a result, one of the clones came up with the idea of ​​bringing the "A Bite of China" documentary from their previous life over.

They introduced traditional Chinese dishes using the methods described in "A Bite of China".

At the same time, the cooking methods for carp were also promoted.

As a result, every merchant ship and passenger ship that passed through Hawaii couldn't resist buying one of these Hawaiian phonographs to play on board.

After all, for ships that can sail in the Pacific Ocean, spending tens of dollars to buy a phonograph is nothing.

As the phonograph played, it sparked a bit of interest in the Chinese culinary delights among the crew members.

Especially when they hear the translated version of the story, they always feel their mouths water.

Some people who come to China want to try it.

Others who went to other countries naturally wanted to try it out for themselves.

There's nothing else, but recently the number of carp has skyrocketed in various countries.

Therefore, some people have tried making steamed carp and braised carp.

As a result, because of the lack of soy sauce and soybean paste, the products made from these most basic ingredients were always unsatisfactory.

Some people who had eaten it during the Qing Dynasty would insist that it was not authentic at all and that it was no wonder it was not delicious.

Whether you like the food or not is not important; what matters is the sense of superiority.

This is precisely why the number of people eating carp worldwide has increased significantly.

As a result, many people have come to understand the food culture within Chinese culture.

If that's all there is to it, it may not necessarily play a significant role in spreading food culture.

Most importantly, the so-called "A Bite of China" created by Li Changsheng's alter ego was completely copied from his memories.

This raises a very serious problem.

During the Qing Dynasty, no one would share their secret recipes with everyone.

Many restaurants have been able to survive for decades because of a single secret recipe.

However, "A Bite of China" revealed hundreds of secret recipes to the public.

Some people who weren't good at cooking before found that their food tasted better after hearing the secret recipe.

Some apprentices, upon hearing this, realized that their master's secret recipe was not as good as this publicly announced one.

Putting aside everything else, the Qing Empire made a leap forward in culinary arts.

At the same time, all kinds of master chefs are emerging one after another.

With more chefs and fewer restaurants, these chefs have no room to showcase their talents, and some are even unable to find work.

Left with no other option, they readily agreed to the offer from the Qing Dynasty's immigration bureau to allow them to immigrate and open restaurants and eateries around the world.

Especially in countries where carp are plentiful, carp are practically worthless to the locals. They can acquire carp for very little money, and by combining local specialties with Chinese culinary techniques, these Chinese chefs have made their debut on the world stage.

When Li Changsheng learned that the cultural export he had worked so hard on had actually resonated most with food, he was both amused and exasperated.

What surprised him even more was that the carp he had casually arranged earlier would have such a good effect.

Because Chinese food culture is always accompanied by certain historical stories.

Therefore, when foreigners eat Chinese food, they can always learn something about Chinese culture.

Some who heard the Voice of China found their confirmation here and were filled with excitement.

It can be said that Li Changsheng directly sparked a wave of Chinese fever with a phonograph.

It has made significant contributions to the promotion of Chinese culture globally.

At the same time, Li Changsheng's Voice of China appears in various countries around the world in a combination of Chinese and local languages.

Therefore, more and more people around the world want to learn Chinese.

Hawaii, a Pacific island nation, originally didn't have many Chinese hotels.

However, since the documentary series "A Bite of China" came out, many people who come to Hawaii want to try the food featured on the show.

It turned out that there was no Huaxia Hotel at all.

Faced with this situation, Li Changsheng's Chinese clone naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass.

As a result, Chinese food streets were born near each dock.

A large number of Chinese chefs came to the Hawaiian Islands.

To make Chinese cuisine, you need a lot of local Chinese ingredients and specialties, and these things have become popular in the Hawaiian Islands as a result.

Whether it's the production of soy sauce, soybean paste, or various other condiments in China, factories and planting are necessary to achieve self-sufficiency.

So, as the King of Hawaii, Canghai directly purchased a large amount of land again to start building factories to produce various seasonings, and at the same time, he used a large area of ​​land to grow various seasonings and raw materials.

Batch after batch of Chinese people were transported here.

This laid a solid foundation for the popularization of Chinese culture in the Hawaiian Islands.

Unfortunately, the large number of Chinese people going to Hawaii eventually attracted the attention of the United States.
