"This is called sunflower seed? Why don't they rush me to eat it? Didn't they say dried fruit? They are easy to deal with. "
The yacht had arrived at its destination, Li Yi's Mexico.
When they met the locals, Li Yi built a large wooden 'tower' on the peninsula. There was no space inside, just a pile of wood.
At the top was the flag of the Tang dynasty. Then, his yacht continued to the east and arrived at the Mexican side.
The distance was only about 600 miles. It was not far, but Li Yi still raised the flag on the peninsula.
Sometimes, 600 miles could break the will of an army. No, not 600 miles, not even 60 miles.
When they arrived, they immediately met the locals.
The locals were standing by the sea, catching fish. When they saw a yacht, their eyes widened.
They did not know that this was a yacht. In their eyes, it was a boat. They also had one, just a little … smaller.
Such a big boat with several levels. It was so beautiful.
The people who came down from the boat … Oh, why are they wearing so many clothes? Are they wrapped on top? Our clothes are all exposed.
What clothes are made of hemp and tree leaves? When they moved, the color changed, just like a rainbow in the water.
These people did not have any tattoos on their faces. Were they holding weapons? They were not spears, blowarrows, or bows.
There was a rope hanging around their necks, and there was a very thin hole in front of it.
Aiya, what did they bring here? It was like white sand. Oh, it was salt. Can salt be so fine?
It was white and big. It was edible. Taste it. There was something else inside. It was delicious.
What did it mean to trade with them? They understood. They could not lose out. Such a delicious thing could only be exchanged for a bag of seeds.
These were the feelings and thoughts of the natives when Li Yi first came into contact with them. They ate pork and onion stuffed buns.
They guessed that the weapons were indeed weapons, such as assault rifles and shotguns.
The temperature in Mexico was high. Now, planting was not very planned. They planted everything in a mess. Anyway, when they found something edible, they would eat it.
This was the advantage of the tropics. They could plant anything. If they did not plant it together, they could eat any kind of crop all year round.
Everyone was exchanging. The little girl was holding a tablet to communicate with others. Who asked her to be so talented in languages? No, she was talented in everything.
She was so talented that she had congenital heart disease, but she died at a young age. She had never made it to the top, so there was no record of her in history.
She wasn't like Xiao Nie, who wrote Li Yi's national anthem. He wasn't sick. After he finished writing the song, he insisted on swimming in the Japanese Empire. In the end, he said that he drowned himself.
As for whether or not he drowned himself, there were no surveillance cameras at that time. In any case, he wanted to see what the Japanese Empire was like …
At this moment, Princess Yongmu was holding a large plate of ripe sunflowers. She dug out a seed from the plate and ate it. She felt that the taste was not good.
"This is called a sunflower. It's quite interesting. Its disc can rotate. When the sun rises, it will always face the sun.
When the fruit ripened and stopped spinning, he lowered his head and looked at the fruit.
Just like many people, they were filled with ambition when they were young. Even if their feet could not move, their heads would not yield, and they would always face the sun.
The soil might not be good enough, and the rain might not be enough, but the world was full of ups and downs, and they still faced the sun.
Then, they got married and had a wife and children. Gradually, they lost their dreams and bowed their heads to reality.
That's why its seeds are sweet. It's because they had dreams and chased after them.
When it lowers its head, it's also the moment when he is about to grow old and give everything to his descendants. "
Li Yi spoke to Princess Yongmu in a scholarly manner. His voice was calm and gentle, without the slightest bit of anger or emotion.
"Li Lang, I'm so sad. Is it because of Mother's sacrifice? Mother was once young and beautiful. She also chased after the sun, but in the end … Li Lang, what are you doing? "
Princess Yongmu's eyes were red. She felt that she understood the true meaning of life.
In the end, she saw Li Yi break apart the plate of sunflowers and rub them together. The sunflower seeds fell down.
"Hurry up, come with me. Let's rub the seeds. They're already ripe. We can go back and plant them so that the people can eat more.
This thing is very fragrant when fried. Let's go back and let our mother eat it. If you have time to be sad, why don't you do more things?
We're rather busy now, so don't delay things. I'll play romance with you on the way back. Why are you still in a daze? Hurry up. "
Li Yi broke apart the second plate of sunflower seeds and rubbed them in pairs as he spoke.
Xiaolan wiped her tears at the side. "Li Lang, you're too bad! Some monks say that meat is taboo, but you don't even let people eat vegetables. Aren't eggplants and cucumbers very pitiful? "
"This thing is delicious. It's like hazelnuts, pine nuts, and melon seeds. It can be eaten as a dry fruit as a snack. It can also be used to extract oil.
Isn't raw soybean oil always smelly? It has to explode. This oil extraction doesn't have to explode.
Hurry up and rub it. I'll get a machine. Let's eat tomatoes. They've brought them over. "
Li Yi rubbed the seeds and saw that the aboriginals had brought something new — tomatoes.
Due to the tropical climate, the tomatoes here were bigger and red.
Li Yi knew before he ate it. He didn't want to eat it. It wouldn't have the same texture as when he bit on a plastic sheet.
When he was young, his family farmed and loved to eat tomatoes. When he grew up, he discovered that tomatoes didn't have the taste and texture of tomatoes because of the production and preservation time.
There was also coriander. It looked like celery and couldn't be bitten.
When he was young, regardless of whether it was dry cucumber or water cucumber, they all had the taste of cucumber. Later on, they didn't have the taste.
The aboriginals got the benefits and picked tomatoes. The big ones had a diameter of ten centimeters. From the color of the skin, one could tell that they were sandy.
"The two of you take a rest. Blacksmith, follow me. I'll draw a diagram for you guys. It's a machine for harvesting sunflower seeds. It's quite simple."
Li Yi didn't want to exchange for it. The technological threshold was too low.
"Dongzhu, there's no need for you. We know how to do it. It's just a thresher. It's the kind that's easier to harvest than rice."
The blacksmith stopped Li Yi. (Do you need to worry about harvesting seeds?)
"Let's eat tomatoes. Learn from me. You have to be careful."
Li Yi didn't care anymore. He took three big tomatoes and gave one to Princess Yongmu and Xiao Lan.
He wiped it with his hand, took a bite, and sucked hard. It was too sweet. The taste was similar to what he ate when he was young.
After sucking for a while, he stopped. "Is it delicious?"
Princess Yongmu and Xiao Lan were sucking hard and didn't have the time to care about Li Yi.
Li Yi smiled and waited with the tomato that he had just sucked a big mouthful of.
He felt full with just one bite. It was too big.
"It's delicious. Li Lang has waited for a long time." Princess Yongmu finished drinking the tomato juice and looked up at Li Yi with a sweet smile.
"This thing can be made into a sauce. It's sweet and sour. We can't eat it now. It's already ripe and can only be eaten as fruit.
Xiao Lan, stop for a while. You have to bury your face in it. You have to wash it later and then apply skincare cream.
Otherwise, it will be very painful. If this thing touches your face, it will tear if you don't wash it or something. "
Li Yi said to Princess Yongmu. When he realized that Xiao Lan had eaten her face, the first thing he felt was pain.
Yes, eating a tomato. It was so big. After her face touched it, there would definitely be a tear.
In the past, the children in the countryside would know to wash it or wipe it with their sleeves after eating it.
The side effects of eating a big tomato were no less than eating a pineapple.
