Chapter 2324 petermnnchen(6)

As a small city with a population of less than 100,000 people, Mechelen's vegetable market is not as big as Paris Hall, and perhaps because there are fewer people, it looks much cleaner. At least the ground is not particularly dirty.

There are fresh fruits and vegetables in the morning, but in the afternoon there are basically only leftover vegetable leaves picked by others. There are also a lot of sea fish at the fish stall, and there is also some pork in the vegetable market. "Vienna Schnitzel" does not necessarily have to be

To fry chicken, you can also use the same method to fry other foods. However, chicken is relatively soft and does not need to be beaten with a hammer like beef and pork. After the steak is relaxed, it should be coated in egg liquid, flour and bread crumbs.

, usually dipped in sweet and sour sauces, such as tomato sauce. It’s just that pork is very expensive in the Low Countries, but beef, which is very expensive in France, is very cheap here, and vegetable cattle raised in Denmark are fattened in the Netherlands.

After being slaughtered and processed, and put on the market in large quantities, it is much cheaper than the pigs raised in the forests of Belgium.

Then there is the Viennese burrito, which can be rolled with anything. Georgiana chose minced meat and cheese. Mechelen has a lot of dairy products shipped from the Netherlands. When buying cheese, the local aunt told her that she could use cheese.

Make pancakes and soak them in beef soup. This is how Austrians used to eat them.

This is actually a Georgian dish, somewhat similar to mutton steamed buns, but mutton steamed buns are made by breaking up the dough and soaking it in mutton soup. The dough itself has no taste. So Georgiana bought some more after the enthusiastic introduction of her aunt.

cheese, and then a vendor came with a bunch of fresh cabbage. He came a little late today and the vegetables were not sold out, so Georgiana bought all his vegetables.

Later, more and more people gathered around her, all vying for her to buy their things. This was different from France. Even if French vendors knew who she was, they would not be "special" to her, they would still be like

Treat ordinary customers with the same indifference.

She returned to the palace opposite before being overwhelmed by the crowd. There were guards guarding the place, and the vendors did not dare to come, but they still enthusiastically shouted "Come back tomorrow" from across the street.

When she returned to the kitchen, she found that her food basket was heavy. When she opened it, she found that there were a lot of things in it that she had not paid for. Someone had probably stuffed them in while she was not paying attention. If it was enough for two people,

Been eating for several days.

The contents of this basket are actually not valuable, but it would be different if it were expanded to tens of thousands, millions, tens of millions, or billions of times.

Many banks in this era were also related to industry. For example, many bankers in Lyon were engaged in the cloth business, bankers in Nantes were engaged in the shipbuilding industry, Hope Bank monopolized the exclusive agency rights for Russian sugar, and England's East India Company also had a monopoly.

Even if the West India Company cannot monopolize the sugar and coffee trade in France as an agent for tea, it can still make a good living solely on Mocha coffee. Moreover, the port of Mocha is located in the Gulf of Aden, Yemen. If coffee beans are transported from Mocha,

There are two ways to transport by ship. One is to go south, around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, and then around West Africa to reach Europe.

Another option is to enter the Red Sea from the Gulf of Aden and reach Suez. Either dig the Suez Canal and take the water route, or unload the goods in Suez and transport them by land to the Mediterranean. When the canal is repaired, tolls can be collected. The Egyptians also broke out in order to regain the ownership of the Suez Canal.

Revolution. There is also a strait at the junction of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, called the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Once the Suez Canal is opened to navigation, that place where no one goes will become a strategic location, and regional conflicts will arise to compete for it.

The Netherlands is nicknamed "Sea Coachman", but their naval strength is not bad. One of the missing legs was replaced with a wooden leg, a hook was used to replace the missing arm, and the image of a pirate with an eyepatch covering his one eye was just like that of Peter S.

Trevisant is almost the same.

Tobacco advertising was banned in many places in the 20th century, but there are no laws against it now. Stuyvesant is reminiscent of the Dutch Golden Age, and the North American colonies, rather than the United States of America.

Leviathan is a giant beast in the sea, and now that Georgiana has seen a glimpse of its true appearance, even this is amazing enough.

Obtaining goods from one's own colonies at almost free prices is certainly a benefit, but alliances can also be formed through commodity exchanges. When visiting the Louvre in the 20th century, Pomona saw that the ancient Egyptian princess in the display cabinet had many possessions from Greece.

jewelry made of glass.

This has nothing to do with whether it is a natural diamond. When Mycenae prevented the coalition forces from sieging Troy, why didn't Troy's allies take advantage of the empty space behind Mycenae to attack Mycenae? Let alone a ten-year siege.

It would be good if it lasts for a year.

Andromache would not become a slave because of this. Not only did he lose his favorite child, but he also had to smile to his enemies.

Even if the news would not reach Egypt for a while because of the lack of news, even after ten years of siege, there would still be no news at all. If the Trojan War happened around 1200 BC, then the Egyptian Pharaoh at that time was Ramesses II.

Will he let this rare opportunity pass?

The image of Hathor, the Egyptian God of Love, was modeled after Nefertari, Ramses II’s favorite queen. She was not a God of Love like Venus who won the golden apple.

Nefertali and Ramesses II participated in the Battle of Kadesh to fight for Syria. The Pharaoh dispatched chariots and infantry. At that time, the role of the navy was more to transport the army. In order to get the wind to set sail,

The heroes wanted to kill Agamemnon's daughter to sacrifice to the gods, but were stopped by the goddess of hunting. Agamemnon's wife also hated her husband because of this, and waited for him to return in triumph and killed him with her lover.

It was the same on the return journey. Because there was no wind, the heroes could not return to their hometown. At this time, the ghost of the dead Achilles appeared, and he designated Polyxena as a sacrifice.

Polyxena was the last girl of the Trojan royal family. She was still a girl at the time. Helen pretended to tell Andromark that the son of Achilles wanted to marry Polyxena. Polyxena said

Helen frowned coldly, and Andromache even scolded Helen. Helen had no choice but to tell the truth. The Greeks hoped that Polyxena would be sacrificed and killed in front of Achilles's tomb.

Polyxena smiled now.

Why is she laughing? Is it because she worships Achilles and is willing to be his sacrifice, or is it because this subjugated princess would rather die than be a slave?

After the death of Princess Troy, the wind picked up, and the Greeks set sail with a ship full of loot, but it sank in a storm or an attack by a sea monster, and the treasure sank into the sea.

Maybe there will be a salvage team a few years later, similar to the plot of Titanic. They have no interest in the sunken ship and the people on it. They just want the heart of the ocean, but unexpectedly get a "worthless" love story.

Why can Achilles return to the world but you can't, Hector? Is it because you are a mortal and not a demigod?

She sighed and arranged the ingredients in the kitchen. Although she should be socializing with the ladies in the living room at the moment, not in this place, she believed that there were many people who were willing to do it for her, such as Mrs. Devodai.

Because, after all, she is not a person from the flashy world, which is actually good.
