Chapter 343

: That one is worthy of being called

"Look at what civilization this is! This is what the Egyptians used to make paper. They actually have the face to compare the breakfast with our rice paper. If we compare this way, we would have had bamboo rolls at the beginning. Even the same thing as bamboo rolls, they dare to call paper. They are really fearless!

This... this is obviously a broken reed mat. In terms of this thing, we Chinese invented it earlier. But this thing can only be called a mat, not a paper!"

When all the dangers were lifted, Martin finally felt relieved. He could once again despise the so-called Egyptian papyrus.

The raw material for producing papyrus is the stems of papyrus. First peel off the hard green outer skin of the papyrus stem, cut the light-colored inner stem into strips about 40 cm, and then cut into thin slices. The cut slices should be soaked in water for at least 6 days to remove the sugar contained.

Then, the long strips are placed side by side into one layer, and then another layer is covered on top. The two layers of thin sheets should be perpendicular to each other. Spread these thin sheets evenly between two layers of linen cloth while wet, press them into one piece and squeeze out moisture, and then press them with heavy objects such as stones. After drying, grinding them with pumice stones to obtain the finished product of papyrus.

Carlos didn't understand why Martin complained so much. It seemed that who invented this thing, and it was not important to Carlos. What was important was that everyone was safe now. In addition, what was the one that kept smoking in Martin's mouth?

Curiosity killed the cat. Seeing Carlos' appearance, Martin laughed, took out a spare pipe, and turned around to give him a box containing tobacco.

"This is called tobacco, this is called pipe. It can refresh your mind if you smoke, but sucking too much will damage your body."

As the saying goes, smoking and drinking are not separated. Since you are smoking a pipe, you might as well have a few more glasses of strong wine. In October in Egypt, the weather at less than 15 degrees Celsius is something that makes people feel comfortable. After accepting Martin's bad habits, Carlos naturally left. In addition, he also intended to interact with Martin in his heart, so the two sat by the fire and chatted.

At this time, Martin took out the paper made on the Island of Felecchi. Although it was not much different from the paper from the Song Dynasty in technology, their paper was not only manufactured quickly because of the help of mechanical products, but also the application of bleach was much better than that of Chinese local paper. However, in order for Carlos, a foreigner, to know that the civilization of the Song Dynasty was something that they, the Western natives, could not catch up with, so they had to brag a few words.

A particularly important point is that when he bragged, he forgot that he was also a Western native.

"I saw it, this is the paper. This is the paper used to write in the Song Dynasty. This kind of cotton is used to wipe it. No matter where it is wiped, it will be done. After it is wiped, it will be convenient for me to throw it away. This is called paper. What the Egyptians play with is not called paper, but it is called a mat!"

This time Carlos understood, took the raw materials of papyrus, and looked at the grand paper that Martin took out and the paper for writing. He also saw that the gap was more than a few hundred years.

"Indeed, your paper is good!"

After responding, Carlos handed the paper back to Martin. Martin shook his head and said that he had given it to him.

"No need, I'll give you all paper, pen, ink, pipe, and tobacco! When you get used to it, you will know that our things are good. In the future, our trade route will be opened, so you can buy more!"

At this point, Carlos understood that he gave him so much to advertise.

Just when the two old men were talking and laughing, only Yao Zhilin was not with her side, Zhao Fubo came back by the girls. Not only were Juliana and Sophia on the left and right, but even Gong Zi looked nervous.

When he came to the two old men, Gong Zi glared at Martin.

"I'm smoking and drinking here again. But Fu Bo was injured to save you, so I'm not lucky to go and see you!"

Martin spitted a long breath of cigarette and looked at Sophia and Gong Zi with a smile on his face.

"It's not a big injury, it's just a dislocation. You'll go back and put on a cast in two days. It's okay!"

Although Zhao Fubo's wrist was off and he only got plaster after taking a shower. Fortunately, although there was a flood in the afternoon, there was still sun in the morning. The water in the water tank on the roof of the Martin car was hot. In fact, it was just a black inner tank and several convex lenses, which caused this simple thing.

"Oh, you kid really loves cleaning so much. You haven't used up the water, otherwise what will I use when I look back at the teacher!"

Zhao Fubo knew that Teacher Martin looked like this. Although he looked a little petty, he was actually a very good person.

"No, there are still many left! Juliana, what are we eating? I'm a little hungry!"

In order for Martin to stop thinking about how much water is left in the water tank, Zhao Fubo immediately changed the subject after answering him.

"Well, you were injured on your wrist today, so you can drink more bone soup. In addition, I have prepared some teppanyaki for you, just pay attention to your teacher, he has been greedy for a long time."

Gong Zi said, asking someone to bring a piece of iron plate and a small charcoal stove. On the small table next to it were chopped beef, mutton and other things roasted on the iron plate. Teppanyaki, like hot pot, are all foods that Zhao Fubo and the others like. Roast beef, mutton, tofu, cold rice, etc. on the iron plate sprinkled with credit oil, mix seasonings, and a plate of thick food is finished.

The difference is that the soldiers are going to pick up their own meals in the cooking chariot. The officers sit together and use the next-generation food and wine to make the meals together. Usually, there are strict restrictions on the wines of ordinary officers and soldiers.

However, today, Emin and Basel, as the ones who have contributed the most to rescue Zhao Fubo’s teachers and students, were lucky enough to sit with them, so naturally there was no limit on drinking. The two brothers were not good at smoking, but they usually only suffered from military regulations when it came to drinking. Since they sat at Zhao Fubo and his team today, it was naturally not a problem.

Martin doesn't care about Gong Zi's targeting. He has Yao Zhilin, so he doesn't have to worry about his delicious food and drink. He just needs to sit there and enjoy it comfortably. Carlos has never seen such a strange way to eat teppanyaki.

It also depends on eating. Europeans and Middle Easterners can't catch up with the Chinese when they ride on space shuttles. It's better not to mention the recipes of Europeans at this time. You can imagine what the sanitary conditions in Europe would look like without even wiping the butt paper.

Moreover, soap was also something that was tasted from the Middle East during the Crusades after the Roman era. Although it has to be admitted that the Europeans did a good job after the revival, from the Industrial Revolution to the technological era.

But in Europe in the Dark Ages, Europe at that time was far inferior to the Middle East, which inherited some Greek, Roman civilizations, and some Eastern civilizations, or China, which had always led the world's footsteps.

But we should also note that when the Magna Carta of Britain began to be established, democracy and freedom began to breed, science gradually developed among the free people. It promoted the subsequent Reformation and Renaissance, which enabled later European countries to surpass China in the Age of Discovery.

A so-called great man in China proposed the so-called three policies to return the people to military, political, political, political, and constitutional government. The reason for the so-called three policies to return the people was that the quality of the Chinese at that time could not bear democracy and freedom, so the Chinese should live in a relative ***.

I would like to evaluate here, what a stupid opinion this is. Is the quality of the Chinese in that era worse than that of the civilians in the Roman era or the British in the Crusader era?

As the saying goes, a girl in the family seems to have a treasure. Although Sophia has a vague affection for Zhao Fubo, when she saw her father and was not used to eating on the island of Ferai, she came to her father.

"Father, this is called teppanyaki. It is very popular with hot pot on the island of Ferai. You only need to use these thin slices of meat... so... Oh, that's it. Then sprinkle some seasonings according to your taste. What does it call this 13-flavor, and the food tastes very delicious!"

With Sophia's step-by-step instructions, Carlos finally picked the first piece of roasted beef on the tip of his fork. When the beef with the outside and tender inside was in the mouth, Carlos felt that it was the best food he had ever eaten.

This is also the ability to eat in the world. Europe is not as good as the Middle East, and the people here are far from China at that time. However, Martin brought the way to eat 1,000 years later, whether from the perspective of hygiene or deliciousness, it should be the best way in the world.

On the Island of Felecai, the children eat white bread-cup meat, drink milk, juice, and learn mathematics, physics and chemistry. According to Martin, they are the future rulers of this world. Whether they like it or not, whether they want it or not!

Because of the flood, Zhao Fubo and his friends had to park on this high ground. Fortunately, many animals driven by the flood became their prey, thus replenishing their food. In addition, the water tank on the Martin cart also became a clean fresh water production equipment because of the sunny days that followed.

And as Martin said, the sandy land along the coast quickly turned the flood into shallow streams that could be traversed. With the compass brought by Zhao Fubo and others, they quickly found the right direction in the vast water and walked towards the direction far away from the river.
