Chapter 762 Peanuts and Chili

Conte didn't know that the bottle of "sterilization" he collected was prepared by Marin for the French Queen Anne. Otherwise, he would definitely be frightened and unsteady.
That is the queen of France! Letting the French queen sterilize it is equivalent to letting the French royal family be defeated! If the French knew that Marin wanted to do this, they would have to die with him. Just like in the future, would you give the wife of the American president a try? It would definitely cause a war. Because you slapped a country in the face.
It is precisely because of this that although Malin had planned to obtain similar drugs from the Ming Dynasty, he was worried about letting his subordinates do it. Because, once this matter was leaked, the Grand Duchy of Beihai would never be able to take it. Therefore, although he occasionally mentioned to Kong Tai before, when Kong Tai set off, Malin hesitated and did not tell Kong Tai to do the matter. Because Malin knew very well what kind of big storm would cause if it was leaked at this time. Moreover, Malin planned to go to find this medicine in person when he went to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute to him in the future, in order to keep it confidential.
Even when Contee brought the medicine back to Europe, Marin's first reaction when he got the medicine was not to reward Contee, but to silence him... Fortunately, Contee was nervous, and had never mentioned it to others, nor did he tell Columbus that he would give this medicine to Marin. Otherwise, Contee would have been silenced...
...
Of course, this will not happen until the Columbus fleet returns to Europe. Now in Europe, Marin is looking at a dish in front of him in surprise - boiled peanuts... and, even chili is added...
"I made a big grass! There is such an operation!" Marin looked at the pot of spicy boiled peanuts in front of him in surprise.
Everyone knows that peanuts and peppers are native to the Americas. Although later generations have said that China is also the origin of peanuts and has also taken out the so-called peanut fossils. However, those were discovered in the 1960s and 1970s or 1980s. However, Marin read an article saying that after international academics sequenced the peanut genome in 2014, it was found that peanuts were a hybrid variety. Its two parents, Via Peanuts and Tariha Peanuts, are both from Bolivia, South America, from Paraguay to northern Argentina. Anyway, no genes from other regions were detected.
Moreover, Malin believes that in the environment of the great movement in the 1960s and 1970s and the environment in which Qigong could be used as scientific research in the 1980s, the research results obtained were difficult to convince. Even this behavior was somewhat similar to a stick-telling method - to pull everything on their ancestors...
As for those "peanuts" that were discovered, Marin believes that they should be carbides in certain plant seeds that look more like peanuts. Another point is that if peanuts are really native to China, they will definitely not be unknown in history.
However, in history, before the Ming Dynasty, although there were records of the names of plants called "peanuts", it only said that the fruit "shaped like taro", and it was mentioned in one stroke.
But peanuts are definitely a very important species in the history of food. Since the middle and late Ming dynasties, peanuts have been almost praised in the altar of the food industry. Not only did they appear such as Kung Pao Chicken Ding appear, but peanuts alone were also the standard for drinking old wine. Just a plate of peanuts, a drunkard can drink a lot, without any other dishes.
But before the Ming Dynasty, there was never a delicacy called peanut. It was completely unreasonable to eat everything that Chinese people flew in the sky, ran on the ground, and swim in the water...
Therefore, Malin concluded that there may have been plants similar to peanuts in ancient China, but it is definitely not a domineering delicacy like peanuts...
...
It's a long way to go. Although Marin is happily eating boiled spicy peanuts, she is so angry that she shouts "It's a waste of resources" in her heart...
As a gourmet, Marin knows very well that the best way to eat peanuts is fried peanuts with salty flavor!
A plate of fragrant fried peanuts, a bottle of Erguotou... Damn, the more you drink it, the more delicious it becomes...
Marin is not an alcoholic, but he knew that there were too many alcoholics in China in the future. At this moment, what he thought of was not eating fragrant stir-fried peanuts and drinking old wine, but about the Russians who were waiting for Eastern European Slavs while eating fragrant stir-fried peanuts and drinking rye Erguotou... Ah, it's whiskey...
"If you launch fragrant stir-fried peanuts and pair them with whiskey, the sales will probably be better..." Marin thought of boiled peanuts...
These peanuts were brought back by Gorard, the guard in charge of developing Panama. While leading a group of black slaves to cut down Panama forests to open up the road to the Pacific Ocean, Gorard also tried to contact the local Indians. And these peanuts were obtained by Gorard's trade with the local Indians. As for what to exchange for? Needless to say... It's decisively salt...
Moreover, the local Indian natives, as well as chili peppers, were also traded with Golad. When Golad ate it, he thought the boiled peanuts made by the local Indians were good. It happened that because the road had not been completed for a long time, Golad was a little anxious.
You know, he is not the direct lineage of Marin. Even among the guards, he was not close to Marin before. In order to prevent Marin from replacing his position as governor, Goulard decided to please Marin. So he exchanged salt and local natives for a few sacks of peanuts and a bag of peppers, and sent back to the local area, and sent a chef to make a pot of boiled peanuts with peppers for Marin...
After Marin started eating, the chef sent back from Goulard came to introduce to Marin - this is a rare local product in Panama and is delicious...
As a result, Malin drove away the chef with disgust on his face - Damn, and he was so embarrassed to say! He wasted such good ingredients!
So, Malin came to the kitchen in person and decided to make a fried peanut dish by himself...
However, after coming to the kitchen, Marin suddenly realized that he did not have salt and pepper in his hand...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Salt pepper is the product of the mixed processing of Chinese pepper and salt, which is very fragrant. However, there is obviously no pepper in Europe...
So Marin could only settle for the second best - using pepper instead of pepper... As a result, after tasting it, it seemed to have a different flavor...
Then, Chef Ma personally poured soybean oil into the pot. Without heating, peanuts were immediately added. After the pot was heated, a "crackling" sound came from the pot, and at the same time, a very strong aroma came...
It felt like the heat was almost done, so Marin sprinkled with special edition salt made of pepper and salt, and a plate of fragrant fried peanuts were released from the pot...
When Marin was holding the steaming plate of peanuts and trying to go back to the bedroom to enjoy it alone, he didn't expect that the little Caesar, who was running around the palace, smelled the fragrance. So the cute little Caesar ran to Marin, looked up at the plate in Marin's hand, kept saliva all over, and shouted "Damn I want to eat"...
Then, the two of them killed a plate of peanuts... When they left, Little Caesar did not forget to lick the salty oily water all over his hands...
It seemed that he was not satisfied, so Malin went to the kitchen to fry a plate of fragrant peanuts. This time, he not only added a special edition of salt and pepper, but also added some chili, which made it even more exciting...
Before, Little Caesar ate half a plate of fried peanuts, and was probably full, so Marin planned to enjoy it alone...
During dinner, Marin solemnly recommended fried peanuts to Angela and Ferris... Then, at dinner time, he had no share of the fried peanuts...
The next day, the famous dish of fried peanuts was reported to the palace. Kahn, the greedy man, came to the court and then brag about how fragrant fried peanuts are...
Seeing that Marin didn't have to push his hands to hype, he simply invited Schwartz, Jeffrey and other bigwigs to hold a "food seminar" about fried peanuts... On the table, Marin didn't prepare any dishes, so he prepared pure pepper and salt-flavored fragrant peanuts and spicy peanuts. Then, he was uniformly matched with rye Erguotou - whiskey...
After this banquet, the famous dish of fried peanuts became a legend in the upper class of Beihai Kingdom...
"Maybe, people should promote peanut planting..." Marin thought for a while and added a sentence to the plan - promote peanut planting...
Later, he thought again - if such a good food was dedicated to the naughty child Zhengde, it would definitely win his favor. Will it increase the confidence to become the Ming Dynasty toast? Also, peppers are also a good tribute...
Chapter completed!
