After holding his thighs and signing the peace agreement, Marin felt extremely happy. It just so warm that Marin took Schwartz, Kahn, Schor, Kidd and other decent subordinates, and a bunch of guards, to find a place to play football on the beach outside Copenhagen.
However, unexpectedly, when I ran to the beach east of Copenhagen, Marin did not find a beach full of fine sand, but found a beach full of oysters...
"What's going on? Why are there so many oysters?" Marin was a little stunned. Before traveling through time, he heard that there was an outbreak of "oyster disaster" in Denmark. However, it was a Pacific variety of oysters. But it was only 1503 now, and the local species are so arrogant?
Moreover, Marin wondered, aren’t oysters known as “milk in the sea”? Why are there so many that no one eats?
Kidd didn't feel surprised. As an old sailor who had been in trouble for more than 30 years, Kidd understood the truth. So he replied:
"Probably, the fishermen on the island of Zeland were all conscripted as sailors, or kidnapped by the coalition fleet connecting those ordinary merchant ships... So, no one has come to clean up these oysters for a long time..."
"It's really a waste of resources... This is 'milk in the sea'..." Marin sighed regretfully.
"Milk in the sea? What does it mean?" The men next to them were confused.
No wonder, Europeans don’t know the nutritional value of milk yet, let alone oysters…
Marin reacted, and then he briefly explained:
"It means nutritious, and eating this can strengthen that aspect..." Marin blinked, and everyone understood in a flash...
Then, several officers called their subordinates to go back to find seasonings, and immediately began to pick up oysters on the beach, intending to start eating.
Except for Schwartz, the group of people who have not found their wife, have women. Especially Kahn, there are two more people who are very physically and energy-consuming and need to be repaired... Marin is the same, with a wife and sister-in-law who need to be taken care of...
After the seasoning came, several people started to eat...
However, how big are the stomachs of several people? Even if they start eating wildly, they only ate dozens of them. Then, Marin asked the dozens of guards to help them eat together. However, it was still a drop in the bucket...
Marin originally wanted to clean up a football field by relying on everyone to eat oysters. However, after eating for a long time, he failed to realize this wish...
Moreover, according to Kidd's description, there are many things in the beaches and shallow waters of the East Frieslander country. Similarly, there are many things along the coast of the Principality of Schleswig...
Marin was a little confused at first, but then he figured it out...
Why? Because Europe is still the era of serfs! As the main force in the population, serfs are not allowed to leave the manor without authorization. Therefore, most people, even if they want to eat oysters, they have no chance of going to the beach. As for the fishermen who live on the beach all year round, do they care about oysters? They have all kinds of delicious sea fish to eat and need to eat oysters every day? Moreover, oysters are delicious, but they are not as delicious as fish when cooked. They are not delicious when marinated and cooked...
Perhaps, only those aristocrats and merchants who come to the beach to play often come to the beach to eat oysters...
However, there are so few such people, ordinary people cannot eat them. And fishermen do not care about them... Then, there are naturally more oysters...
Usually, when there are too many oysters on the beach, the fishermen clean up the oysters like garbage, and most of them are thrown back to the sea...
It can be said that in this era when the population is not circulating, the consumption of oysters is really a big problem. Because those who want to eat oysters may not be able to get to the beach, and oysters cannot be safely transported into the mainland... No one eats the stale oysters... Fishermen who often eat oysters are tired of eating...
Anyway, oysters are hard to consume...
Moreover, Europeans are still very conservative now. No one runs to the beach to dry their fruits without any trouble. Therefore, even if the beach is covered with oysters, no one will clean it up. Because there is no need...
But Marin felt distressed when she looked at it... "Milk in the sea"...high nutrition...
However, as a time traveler with infinite imagination, Marin quickly came up with a very good solution - that is, to set up an oyster sauce processing farm...
Lee Kum Kee oyster sauce is very famous before Marin traveling. Many Cantonese dishes use oyster sauce as an important seasoning.
In my previous life, Marin liked Cantonese cuisine, such as the two types of oyster sauce beef and oyster sauce chicken wings. When I think about it, Marin saliva was pouring. According to a friend from Guangdong, Stephen Chow's braised chicken wings seem to be oyster sauce chicken wings, which tasted very enjoyable... If you eat delicious oyster sauce chicken wings while singing "Braised chicken wings, I like to eat..." It would be very happy to think about it...
However, compared to oyster sauce chicken wings, Malin actually prefers oyster sauce chicken thighs. Because the chicken thighs feel more when they chew. After all, the chicken wings are less than a few taels of meat, and they will be gone after two or three times. If you make a few big chicken thighs and apply oyster sauce, they will be full of color, fragrance and flavor... Okay, Malin applied saliva...
Oyster sauce is also very strange to say. It turned out to be Lee Kum Kee's ancestor, Lee Kum Kee's grandfather, suddenly went out one day while cooking oyster soup and forgot to extinguish the fire in the stove. After coming back, I found that the water was boiled dry, but a fragrant and delicious thick juice appeared at the bottom of the pot. In this way, Lee Kum Cherry accidentally discovered the very important seasoning of Guangdong cuisine - oyster sauce.
Oyster sauce is not MSG, but it has a certain function of improving freshness. Although it cannot replace MSG, it is also a very good condiment. In many Cantonese dishes, oyster sauce directly replaces MSG.
Of course, that is modern. With the overflow of MSG and chicken essence, the oyster sauce, which is already expensive, naturally has no competitiveness.
But what era is it now? At the beginning of the 16th century! The MSG has not yet appeared...
There is no umami seasoning in the whole world. If you want umami, you can only eat seafood, boiled chicken soup, or mushrooms with Chinese specialties...
If it is not a specific dish, you cannot get umami flavor. But if Marin makes oyster sauce and promotes it to Europe, it will definitely have great potential as a seasoning for adding umami flavor...
You know, in the whole of Europe, except for its own palace, which has begun to promote Chinese cuisine, other countries are still eating dark medieval dishes, with pepper dipped in bread and barbecue...
The launch of oyster sauce will surely become a clear spring and a dazzling existence in this European food desert...
Actually, it’s funny to think about it. It’s already the 21st century, and Denmark is still stumped by a few oysters. It’s not realistic to find foodies in China. Because it’s too far away...
I, a Chinese foodie, wouldn’t spend more than 10,000 yuan to buy air tickets for a few oysters, just eat them? It’s not like China. If you spend 20,000 yuan or 30,000 yuan, you can eat oysters in your country and you’re so full...
Even if it is exported, it is not that cost-effective. Because from Denmark to China, the shipping fee is high, so it may not be profitable to export oysters.
So, it’s better to find Lee Kum Kee to set up an oyster sauce manufacturer in the local area. She peeled thousands of oysters into a large pot and cooked them in a pot. The oyster sauce they cooked was packaged... Cough cough... to whom should they sell it?
Oh, there are many Chinese overseas who seem to be more Guangdong and are used to eating Cantonese cuisine, so they can be sold to them in European Chinese supermarkets. Local European products also save shipping from Guangdong to Europe, and the price is still a bit advantage...
Then, the authorities can encourage Chinese people to set up grills on all streets in Denmark, flip the roasted chicken wings, chicken legs, apply oyster sauce, and then use an electric fan to blow the fragrance straight to the streets to attract Danes to come and consume... and then ask Xing Chow to dance a "Braised Chicken Wings" to cheer up... Stephen Chow is worth a lot, and the copycat Stephen Chow can be a good match...
"Well, what a good idea. The Danish government should give me a big prize... Well, the Nobel Prize for the brain..." Marin said with satisfaction.
