Chapter 32 The Kingdom of Hawaii
On Saturday morning, Li Xin temporarily closed the [Gate of Fate], and a business sign hung at the restaurant door, and he went out excitedly.
In the 101 block of Xinghu, Jiangzhou Development Zone, Li Xin and Li Wei met at the entrance of an ancient ceramic store.
....................................
The mud on the tapering machine was spinning unreasonably. Li Xin's hands were relatively stable and could control them better, while Li Wei could only watch from the side.
The cup gradually takes shape.
Li Xin suddenly said to Li Wei, "Why don't you play anymore?"
Li Weiwei muttered, "Niba doesn't listen to me."
"Is it okay to leave this text on it? [Eat together, go shopping together, spend a good time together, not for anything else, just to stay by your side..." Li Xin asked.
While talking, he pulled Li Weiwei's stool to the side of the machine, grabbed her hand and hugged the mud.
"Yeah, okay..."
Li Wei seemed to feel the mud getting hot. I don’t know if it was because Li Xin’s hand warmed him or because the mud was too hard to make the heat.
In the morning, the two made a cup together, which was a bit ugly, but very warm.
In the afternoon, Li Weiwei was going to prepare for the interview information for the Magic City TV station, and the two were reluctant to part.
................
At 2:30 pm, [Gate of Food in Destiny] will be opened again.
bite!
The first guest to visit was the young and beautiful Hawaiian princess Liana.
Leana comes from the mlj-011 plane, 1842.
This Leyana has Latin American style wheat-colored skin and a healthy body.
At the age of 14, he was sent to the United States of America for two years by his father, King Karacava I of Hawaii, to study criminal investigation science and technology.
She looks cute and has a meticulous mind, but has an impulsive personality.
He is only 16 years old, and he has a hot measurement of 36-26-37 and a height of 168cm.
When she smiled, there were two cute dimples on the corner of her mouth, revealing a pair of small tiger teeth.
It can be regarded as a typical example of ** childish face.
Based on the experience of the island country, Goro told Li Xin more than once that in the future, Leana will definitely be the kind of woman who can make men lose their minds.
.............
After two years of studying in the United States, this Hawaiian princess has exposed her to a completely different new world.
The technology and culture of the Western world are so rich that Princess Leana is eye-opening. She is like a sponge, absorbing the knowledge of art, science and economics in Western society.
Knowing that her father was exhausted due to domestic reform affairs this year, Princess Leana had to end her Western study life and return to Hawaii Island.
Returning from the flower world of the New World to the backward Hawaiian Islands has left Princess Leana depressed for a long time.
After two years of living in the West, I returned to my hometown.
Princess Leana feels very uncomfortable with the local values and lifestyle of Hawaii.
Until Princess Leana discovered a magical door in the utility room of the palace and came to Li Xin’s restaurant by chance.
This world 164 years later completely subverts the worldview of the Hawaiian princess.
Every Saturday morning, Leana would go to the palace's utility room, looking forward to the appearance of [Gate of Fate]. Only when the [Gate of Fate] appeared, Leana would immediately come to the restaurant and stay in the restaurant all day, knowing that she would leave in the early morning of the next day.
Especially the restaurant owner, like the eldest brother, is knowledgeable and gentle, and takes special care of her.
................
1842 was the first year of diplomatic relations between the Kingdom of Hawaii and Western civilization.
The United States first recognized the Kingdom of Hawaii, and this diplomatic recognition was mainly due to the containment of the rising Japan.
In the communiqué of the establishment of diplomatic relations, the US Secretary of State clearly stated that if Japan forcibly annexes Hawaii, the US will intervene on the grounds of anti-aggression.
Subsequently, France, Germany, Britain and Japan all began to establish diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Hawaii.
Before 1842, Western powers did not recognize the existence of countries in the Hawaiian Islands.
Because in accordance with international law and conventions.
Invade and annex a sovereign state without sufficient reason.
There will inevitably be a lot of troubles in the face of international public opinion pressure, vigilance and hostility of neighboring countries, condemnation of other countries, intervention of hostile forces, declining international reputation, and so on.
However, developing a land that is only indigenous inhabitants is based on the principle of first-hand
At the beginning of the Age of Discovery, Western powers divided the "borderless lands" of Africa, Latin America and North America according to the principle of first-hand, gained large tracts of territory and established direct rule.
For Asia and the Middle East, most powerful people gave up the direct annexation of lands with huge ruling costs, but instead adopted the method of establishing colonies to carry out indirect control.
................
In 1830, British and American missionaries arrived in Hawaii and began to contact the ancient Hawaii kingdom.
Westerners brought tobacco, tableware, bread, milk, textiles, and horrible muskets and explosives.
Hawaii buys a large amount of daily necessities and weapons from Western merchants every year, and the treasury is empty and local handicraftsmen are unemployed.
The kingdom gradually became a colony within the influence of Britain and the United States.
Of course, it was not that King Karakava of Hawaii was foolish and incompetent, but this was really the trend.
During the decades of reign of Karakava I, he continued to send envoys to travel around the countries, hoping to form an alliance of Eastern countries to resist the invasion of Western civilization.
However, the intelligence collected over the past few decades made Karakava I feel desperate,
Intelligence shows that the entire Asia has become colonies and semi-colonies.
Only the successful rise of Japan, which is [leaving Asia and entering Europe] and [****], became the dawn of Asia in the 19th century.
Karakava I actively carried out relations with Japan.
However, Japan has always delayed time, failed to recognize the Kingdom of Hawaii, and coveted the territory of the Hawaiian Islands.
This made Karakava I's plan to go bankrupt.
……………………
With the immigration of the United States and Japan, the number of merchants and investors on the island is increasing.
Both maritime powers began to actively expand their power in the Pacific, and the United States finally chose to take more active actions to control.
Faced with such domestic difficulties and major changes.
Leana's father, Karakava I, began to promote reforms and westernization at home.

"Little Yana, your sugar water," said Li Xin. "It's especially added more red beans you like."
"Well, thank you, Brother Li Xin." Liana licked her lips, looking like a little greedy cat.
………………………………………
The classic TVB Hong Kong drama has two major "delicacies", one is cooking noodles and the other is sugar water.
However, the sugar water here is of course not white sugar water, but classic Cantonese desserts.
For a long time, life in Guangdong and Hong Kong is inseparable from stewing soup, cooking porridge, and cooking sugar water.
No matter which one, I insist on slow work and meticulous work. Even a simple bowl of red bean paste will be cooked patiently for two hours, and the beans will be dense and sandy.
Drinking candy water with your family in the house and cultivate feelings.
While scooping up sweetness, gather with friends or grind with your partner.
A bowl of street sugar water is sweeter the more you drink.
Although Chinese sugar water does not have the tricks of Western desserts, it is better because of its real ingredients, red beans, mung beans, peanuts, walnuts, and various ingredients are boiled to make it moist and nourishing in the heat.
