Growing sweet potatoes and brewing sweet potatoes, of course, Albert, the governor of New York, went to do it. Albert, who took over the task, was also confused - what? Can sweet potatoes still make wine?
The New York colony planted sweet potatoes, but not as food, but as vegetables. After all, sweet potatoes can be eaten raw and cold, and they are also very fragrant when roasted. But they are used as food... Albert had eaten sweet potato noodles, but it could not be made into bread, so he could only cook them into a paste. He had never tried pancakes or something.
However, the yield of sweet potatoes is indeed very high, and growing sweet potatoes on the vegetable fields often leads to a lot of harvest. Albert also agrees with Marin's plan to use sweet potatoes to feed the Tylenol people. Because it is indeed too luxurious to use wheat as food for the Tylenol people. Many small nobles in Europe rarely eat wheat flour, so how can they be used to squander the Tylenol people who are serfs?
Albert agreed with feeding pigs with sweet potatoes and wine lees. After all, feeding pigs with expensive wheat and cheap rye is a waste. If you feed pigs with grass, the pigs will not grow fat. These days, not only Chinese people love fat, but Europeans also love them. Because they also lack oil and water.
As the Governor of New York and the Earl of Philadelphia, Albert is not short of oil and water, but he likes to eat braised pork. Therefore, he agrees with the development of the pig farming industry.
Just so happens that the breeding of Taihu pigs in Beihai Country has reached a certain scale. It is also a good choice to introduce thousands of Taihu pigs to the New York colony.
You should know that raising pigs not only provides sufficient meat, but also provides leather and bristles. Bristles made of pig bristles are very popular products. Even toothbrushes that are not very popular in Beihai Country are also made of pig bristles.
In addition, what makes Albert most amazing is the Chinese's level of handling pig internal organs. Although the Germans also eat pig internal organs, they usually chop the pig internal organs and pour them into sausages. But the Chinese are even more powerful. They can make pig internal organs into delicious fried pork liver, fried waist flowers, etc. What Albert admires the most is the Chinese's treatment of the pig large intestine. The Germans eat pig internal organs, but they don't need the large intestine. Because the large intestine is the feces and is very smelly. The Germans do not know how to clean the large intestine, so they usually throw away the large intestine. However, the Chinese chefs (family of Ming Dynasty craftsmen in the New York Shipyard) can quickly clean the large intestine and make very delicious fried fat intestines, which makes Albert unable to stop. That is, it is a bit of a waste of noodles when washing the large intestine...
But Marin told Albert that using sweet potato noodles instead of wheat noodles or rye noodles can save a lot of money. This made Albert overjoyed, after all, it saves too much. You should know that whether it is wheat flour or rye flour, the price is very expensive. It is too expensive to use it to wash the large intestine. Therefore, it is better to use cheap sweet potato noodles instead.
Marin also despised Europe. Until the 19th century, the price of grain was still so expensive. During the period when Britain implemented the Cereal Act, its wheat price was as high as 66 shillings per quarter, which was 3.3 pounds per 25 pounds. On average, the price per pound of wheat was as high as 2.64 shillings per pound, which was much higher than the current 5 Finney (equal to 5 pence) per pound.
In other words, Germany came up with Libich and came up with the theory of fertilizers. Then, the agricultural output in Europe began to increase. But at the beginning, the primary fertilizers used were saltpeter in Chile and bird droppings from the Chinca Islands of Peru.
At that time, the annual output of bird droppings in Peru was about 300,000 tons, and each ton of bird droppings was worth 10 pounds. Therefore, at that time, Peru earned 3 million pounds per year, which is 9 million taels of silver. This special cat was higher than the annual fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty...
However, because the British monopolized the trade between bird droppings and saltpeter, other countries did not benefit much. It was not until the early 20th century that German chemist Harber invented the synthetic ammonia technology, which truly changed the situation in Europe's agricultural situation.
Therefore, there are indeed many German talents. It is said that before World War II, 60% of the winners of the explosives award were Germans. World agriculture also has to thank Libich and Haber. Otherwise, the phenomenon of starvation in historical dramas will continue to exist. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to enthrone these two saints.

Marin continued to explain pig farming to Albert, because sweet potatoes can make a large scale. Therefore, Marin plans to establish a large-scale meat processing factory in the New York colony in the future, mainly producing meat that is easy to preserve for a long time, such as sausages, ham, bacon, bacon, etc., because North America is too far from the local area to transport fresh meat back to the local area. As for transporting pigs, cargo ships these days are not thick ships. Thick diesel-powered ships are stable and livestock can adapt very well. In the sailing era, the ships are prone to shake left and right due to the wind pulling. Therefore, it is very unfavorable for pig transportation, and pigs are prone to illness and death in the middle of the journey. At that time, they will suffer a huge loss.
Therefore, Marin tends to process pork into sausages, ham, bacon, bacon and other meats that are easily preserved. Of course, it can also be processed into canned pork, such as canned pork with dried plums and vegetables. However, fat meat cannot be used to make canned food. Otherwise, it is easy to get diarrhea after eating it. Of course, it is okay to eat it after heating.
In addition, you can also learn from the United States, add flour and spices to make canned lunch meat that American soldiers hate. But Marin is not willing to use too many canned foods, mainly because it is inconvenient to transport and is easy to break.
He now has no excess metal for processing iron canned boxes, so he can only use glass bottles. However, glass bottles are fragile and transported very inconvenient. Therefore, when Marin prepares for the work, he should make more pork jerky. Pack it in an oil paper bag and press it out of the air, then sterilize it at high temperature and seal it. Then, the jerky wrapped in this paper bag is very convenient to transport and store. If it is dry and hard, you can soak it in boiling water before eating.
"Hmm? Soak it in boiling water? Huh, isn't this just instant noodles?" Malin was suddenly inspired and decided to make instant noodles!
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The instant noodles are actually very simple, it is to fry the noodles, then dry and package them. Marin does not have the conditions to produce barrel noodles, but it is still easy to produce bag instant noodles, and the technology is mature.
Moreover, rye flour is not delicious to make bread, but it can also be used to make noodles. Later generations, rye noodles were also high-end because of their high nutritional value.
The dough cake is easy to make, and the ingredients don’t seem to be troublesome. Just put salt and pepper and other spices on the seasoning bag to ensure the taste is OK. Maybe it won’t keep up with the taste of instant noodles in later generations, but people in this era are not picky, and it’s good to have seasonings. As for other ingredients, Marin thinks that the sauce bag is unrealistic. It’s too difficult to pack the sauce in the oil paper bag. It’s better to take out the sauce bottle when brewing the instant noodles and dig a little and put it in. Then, pour some cooking oil.
Therefore, Marin plans to pack sauces and oils in canned bottles and open them when eating instant noodles. If it is military use, it is enough for a team to share a bottle of canned food.
Even without sauces and oil. After all, people these days have low requirements. Moreover, the dough is fried and contains oil.
Then, vegetables and meat pieces are easy to make. Vegetables can be directly packaged in oil paper bags. This technology has matured in Beihai. Whether it is the Army or the Navy, you can carry a large amount of dehydrated vegetable bags. When instant noodles are brewed, the dehydrated vegetables are soaked in, just right.
The pork jerky wrapped in oil paper bags seems to be a instant noodle artifact...
So, Marin decided to use bags of fried noodles, bags of seasonings, bags of dehydrated vegetables and bags of pork as a four-piece instant noodles set. It is mainly used for combat in cold weather. After all, in cold weather, eating compressed biscuits is not as comfortable as eating instant noodles that can drink hot soup. Moreover, the combination of meat and vegetables is extremely reasonable and easy to carry.
As for adding sauces and cooking oil, it does not belong to the four-piece set. When marching, each team can bring your own canned sauces and cooking oil according to their own situation...
