Because the 10 ships were half empty, the fleet of Americo had enough space to ship the 700 Indian untouchables. At the same time, when Draka was recruiting untouchables, Americo also took people to the market to buy a batch of human-powered spinning trucks and human-powered looms for wooden cotton spinning that were abundant in India.

That's not all, Yamerico also bought a large amount of Indian cotton seeds and local sugar cane seeds. Anyway, the fleet has room, so I'll bring it back by the way.

In fact, Marin looked down on Indian cotton varieties. The Indian cotton variety is called Asian cotton, also called coarse cotton. This cotton yield is low, the fiber is short, and it is not suitable for machine textiles, and it is only suitable for artificial spinning and weaving. Therefore, it was gradually eliminated.

However, at this stage, both India and the Ming Dynasty used Asian cotton native to India. The better-quality upland cotton and island cotton are all native to the islands in Mexico and the Caribbean Sea in Central America.

Among them, the quality of island velvet cotton is the best. However, the growth conditions of island cotton are harsh and are not suitable for promotion around the world. Therefore, in later generations, including China, the most popular one is the onion cotton native to Mexico, which is the kind of cotton seeds brought back by Columbus.

Therefore, although the starting point of Asiatico is good, the Asian cotton varieties in India will eventually be eliminated. After all, Marin has the seeds of upland cotton.

However, Marin is still very satisfied with Indian sugarcane. Why? No matter how bad the third brother is, in this era, agriculture must be far superior to that of Europe. Therefore, India's prices are very low, and even the price of trafficking in humans is relatively low.

Agriculture is stronger than Europe, and the varieties are naturally good. According to the local inquiry in India, their sugarcane yield is much higher than those of the Portuguese. At least, Indians know how to use manure. The sugarcane varieties cultivated with fertilizer for a long time are naturally better than those of the Portuguese.

If Indian sugarcane seedlings are considered a small surprise, then the other species dedicated to Marin by Americo is a complete surprise...

First, there were bananas and coconut seeds. Bananas had no seeds in later generations. They used split buds to cut them down to cultivate seedlings or used underground stems to cultivate banana seedlings.

But in fact, bananas originally had seeds. The subtle black spots distributed in the banana meat are actually the seeds of bananas. However, they have degenerated after long-term cultivation. The banana seeds brought back by Americo this time are very small, but they still exist. As long as Marin sends people to cultivate carefully, he can still grow bananas.

Needless to say, coconut has seeds. Americo drank coconut milk in India and ate coconut meat. He thought it was good, so he collected the same delicious banana seeds and brought them back together with the coconut seeds.

As a navigator who helped Marin explore Grenada, Americo keenly felt that these two fruits seemed to be able to be grown in Grenada. So he brought the seeds back.

Sure enough, after getting the seeds of bananas and coconuts, Marin was "very happy" and rewarded Americo with 1,000 gold coins. Looking at the seeds of bananas and coconuts, Marin felt like she was treasured.

At present, Grenada has been developed on a large scale, while Cuba Island and Panama are also developing vigorously.

Although there are already crops such as rice and sugarcane suitable for planting in tropical areas, Marin always feels uncomfortable. Why? As a tropical island, how can there be no tropical fruits?

For Marin, the most familiar tropical fruits are probably bananas, pineapples and coconuts. If you lived in the tropics in later generations and had never eaten these three fruits, you would probably be despised. Unless you live in the tropical areas of the Sahara Desert...

Anyway, in Marin's impression, the tropics are banana trees, pineapple trees and coconut trees everywhere. Of course, there are rubber trees and other things.

Although it is difficult to obtain fresh fruits in tropical colonies, Marin also has to do with planting these tropical fruits. After all, the refrigeration technology in this era is poor, or almost none.

But Marin can eat canned fruit...

The technology of canning fruits is so simple. Just make a glass bottle, soak pineapple slices in dilute salt water, boil it in a steaming pot, and then seal it with a waxing it. It can be stored for 10 months. It can be delivered to the local area and can be eaten by Marin.

As for bananas, Marin does not have to eat canned bananas. Because bananas are dried into dried bananas, it is also a good snack. Coconuts can also be dried into dried coconuts and transported back as food. You should know that in later Pacific island countries, coconuts are important agricultural products and grains. Coconut juice seems to be transported back to Europe by making canned food and preserving...

However, among the three common tropical fruits, banana, pineapple and coconut, pineapple is not found in Marin. Because pineapple still grows in Brazil.

Now that the Portuguese have not occupied Brazil, no one has discovered this pineapple anymore. Therefore, Marin now only has the ability to grow bananas and coconuts.

However, Marin felt that bananas should have seedless now. After all, bananas have been cultivated for more than a thousand years, so there should be seedless varieties.

So, Americo found an Indian untouchable craftsman who came to Emden with a boat and asked about seedless bananas through translation. Through inquiry, Marin determined that there were indeed seedless banana varieties in India. However, Americo didn't know how to do it, so he bought seedless banana seeds. After all, Americo had never eaten bananas, so he didn't know that there were seedless varieties. Moreover, seedless banana seedlings are difficult to carry. Therefore, Americo missed the seedless banana varieties.

Of course, Marin was not that scrupulous either. Even if there were only coconut seeds, it was pretty good. Because Marin liked to drink coconut juice in later generations.

As long as coconut planting is promoted in Cuba or Grenada and coconut plantation is built, it will be easy for Marin to drink coconut juice in the future. The method is very simple, similar to canned food, put the coconut juice into a glass bottle, boil it in a steamer, then plug it in a cork and wax it, and a bottle of coconut juice will be made. As long as this canned coconut juice is shipped back to Europe, Marin can drink the long-lost coconut juice.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! As for bananas, Marin thought about it and sent someone to send the seeds to the colony. Just in time, the Indian untouchables, Marin planned to send them to Cuba Island. These coconut seeds and banana seeds were taken together. These Indian untouchables obviously knew how to plant coconuts and bananas. Just in time, they asked them to serve these fruit trees.

After that, pineapple seeds were obtained and seedless banana seedlings were obtained from India. Marin planned to promote these three tropical fruits on a large scale in Cuba, Grenada and Panama and make them an important food in tropical regions.

Anyway, Marin will send someone to India to buy supplies in the future. At that time, we will ask for seedless banana seedlings. And pineapple may need to send someone to Brazil to find...

In fact, among these three tropical fruits, the most suitable one for canning is probably pineapple. Canned pineapple is sour and sweet, and very popular. When Marin was a child in her previous life, she especially liked to eat canned pineapple. Every time she ate canned pineapple, she not only ate all the pineapple slices, but also drank all the water with the soaked pineapple slices... The sour and sweet taste is the most attractive to children and girls...
