"These three are all chili peppers. The small bean should be the original chili peppers. Later, the locals planted them and they took on other shapes."
Li Yi ate slowly. When the dried pot was ready, he introduced the local specialties.
He also brought the sunflower seeds. Apparently, the Native Americans knew how to grow them and knew that they were delicious.
They ate raw sunflower seeds, which were not suitable for boiling or roasting.
There were also pumpkins, kidney beans, sweet potatoes, and other edible things.
Li Yi didn't keep his fingernails, but he could still pinch open the shells of the sunflower seeds. He handed one to Princess Yongmu.
Princess Yongmu ate it and smacked her lips. It was gone. She wasn't satisfied.
"I'm too tired. I'll pinch them one by one." Princess Yongmu, who had never eaten sunflower seeds, thought that it was inconvenient to eat this dried fruit.
Li Yi grabbed a handful and began to chew skillfully. Crunch, crunch, crunch. He was very fast.
He didn't chew the sunflower seeds after he finished them. He held them in his mouth. When there were more than 30 of them, he put his mouth next to Princess Yongmu's face. "Open your mouth. I'll help you chew them."
"How can you do that?" Princess Yongmu blushed and dodged to the side.
Xiao Lan leaned forward and opened her mouth slightly.
Slap! Princess Yongmu slapped Xiaolan's head. "Eat your roasted corn."
Li Yi had no choice but to chew it himself. It was delicious. He hadn't eaten it in a long time. It was full of memories.
He grabbed a handful, chomped, and bit open. He held it in his hand with the shell and the kernel.
When his hands couldn't hold it anymore, he tossed it with his hands and blew. The shell flew away, leaving only the kernel.
He divided it into three portions and gave Princess Yongmu, Xiao Lan, and the eldest disciple a small portion each.
The three of them ate it in one bite. This time, they were very satisfied.
"Actually, I can make a simple shelling tool, but unless I make sunflower oil, it's better to eat it with the shell on.
You guys eat pine nuts and hazelnuts, but don't you chew them yourself? It's not delicious if someone else peels them. "
Li Yi stopped chewing and controlled himself. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stop.
If he stir-fried a part of it and made it into five spices, he would be able to eat it for a whole day. It would be addictive.
Even in the end, his head was buzzing. He kept thinking that he shouldn't eat it, but he still continued to chew.
If it were to be replaced with Australian nuts in the future, their shells would be very thick and they would need to be peeled with tools. They would not be able to be eaten for a day. They would taste like wax and one would get sick of eating too much of them.
"Ka, bah!" Xiao Lan imitated Li Yi's actions and grabbed a handful. She picked one up and ate it. The first one was wasted.
"It's not easy, is it? You need to practice. If you eat too much, there will always be gaps in your teeth. "
Li Yi had already forgotten how old he was when he first ate sunflower seeds.
The only thing he knew was that this action of chewing needed to be practiced. If he always chewed in the same position, his teeth would change positions, and he would not use the same amount of strength.
"It should be thrown into the mouth and gnawed with the teeth." Li Yi thought for a while and thought of another method of gnawing, which was to test the tongue.
Princess Yongmu threw a few seeds into her mouth and stopped. She looked at the kidney beans sent by the natives and asked, "Is this delicious?"
"This can be cultivated into many varieties. Now, they have brought two varieties. One is bigger and the other is smaller. They will cook them and eat them. The bigger ones will ripen and be peeled out to eat."
Li Yi knew the purpose of the Native Americans to grow kidney beans. They wanted to obtain food.
The big ones were rice beans, and the small ones were being cultivated.
Logically speaking, there should be more populated areas inside the local area, and there should be pyramids.
Pyramids used for surveying, farming, war, and religion.
Pyramids of all sizes. The big ones were the main ones, and the small ones were for others to rest in and be used as war castles.
When there was a flood, they would hide in the pyramids. Food was also stored inside.
Li Yi did not know what happened to make a civilization abandon the pyramids. In any case, the information said that there was no one there now.
He picked up a big kidney bean and taught everyone how to pinch the string. Pinch the two ends, but do not place it in two. He did not know how to use oil.
He pinched a big pot, put it on the iron pot, and poured the soybean oil into it.
When the oil was almost warm, he used a spoon to scoop one-third of the black bean sauce and stir-fry it in the oil.
Amid the crackling sound, the fragrance of the sauce wafted out, and the sauce exploded.
"If you use this sunflower seed oil to extract the oil, it won't explode. The raw soybean oil has a fishy smell.
The kidney beans must be cooked. Otherwise, the saponin and agglutinin inside will cause a reaction in the body. In serious cases, it will cause death.
However, these two are both medicines. If used well, they can be used to treat diseases. "
Li Yi poured the washed kidney beans into the pot and stir-fried them back and forth. He had to stir-fry them until they changed color.
"Master, I know. Raw kidney beans and cowpeas can also be poisoned," the little girl said. Her family was a traditional medical family.
If someone accidentally felt uncomfortable, she would have to ask what they ate.
"Yes, they contain the same thing. Therefore, when you bring the kidney beans back, you can eat them without worry. You can eat them the same way you eat cowpeas."
Li Yi was not worried about this. The people of the Tang dynasty knew how to eat.
After a while, he poured water into the pot and stewed it. Then, he opened two cans of braised pork and threw them in.
He began to shred the small ones. "Go and cut a piece of fat and lean meat from the bear. Shred it and stir-fry it with the kidney beans. First, feed it with cooking wine, salt, starch, and pepper. "
The Winged Knights next to him went to look for the meat. The skin of the bear was peeled off, and the internal organs were cleaned by the natives.
Li Yi wanted the internal organs of the bear. The natives didn't eat anything except the heart. They also didn't eat the liver because the liver of some animals was poisonous even if it wasn't processed.
As a foodie in the capital, Li Yi didn't think that there was anything that couldn't be eaten.
So what if it was poisonous? Pufferfish was also poisonous. It could be eaten with Artemisia granulosa and Lu sprouts.
The natives were cutting the meat and roasting it. They didn't sprinkle the seasoning Li Yi brought on the roasted meat, but they just carefully brushed the sauce on it.
They also knew how to cherish it and dipped it in the seasoning.
Although they weren't very tall, they might have eaten it. They also lacked oil on a daily basis.
Li Yi expressed his understanding. The slaves bought by the Li Family Zhuangzi in the beginning … Oh my god! They could eat two catties of pastries scooped out of noodles in a meal, and that didn't even count the dishes they ate.
Now, they were still the same people. Not to mention two catties of noodles, even two catties of noodles made of noodles and dishes would be enough to fill their stomachs.
Even if they worked hard, they would at most eat two catties of steamed rice. If they ate more, they would definitely not be able to eat anymore.
On a daily basis, they ate red meat, white meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruits, and dried fruits every day.
Digestion, absorption, nutritional supplement, and calorie conversion. There had to be a certain amount, right?
The natives' nutrition was not balanced. The more food they ate, the higher their requirements. The main reason was that their absorption ability was poor.
"Li Lang, how will we get along with them in the future?" Princess Yongmu asked a very important question.
Li Yi's hands didn't stop moving. "My purpose is to turn them into people of the Tang dynasty. The people here are okay. They look similar to us.
Then, when we go to another place, I don't expect to turn them into people of the Tang dynasty. I'm not discriminating.
I'm just not sure how long it will take to educate them. Sometimes, the problem of skin color … "
Li Yi was in a difficult position. He wanted to say that the people in Africa with white skin had a nationality. They were Chinese and helped to guard the border.
How should he describe the black people? It felt too difficult. Perhaps a change of environment and not being affected by the original place would work.
