Seeing the confused expressions on the faces of Manager Wu and the surrounding students, Xiangchuan felt helpless at what to say.
Now she really wants to have a Doraemon time machine, and travel back to when she started recording agricultural data, and ask her questions about who didn't leave down the correct way to eat grains?
However, it is true that Kagawa wronged the scholars at the time.
The agency responsible for recording various books and documents into the cloud network at that time believed that cooking would never disappear from the DNA of people around the world, otherwise the most popular historical relics unearthed would not be those of that time.
Cereals and utensils eaten by ancient humans.
But they never expected a dark virus crisis. This huge disaster was comparable to the great flood that appeared in the myths of various countries, causing mankind to lose almost all historical data.
During the dark virus crisis, in order to isolate themselves from the virus, people basically lived in air-raid shelters or basements, and ate solid food and liquid food for a long time.
At that time, human lifespan had not reached the current level, so while avoiding the virus, generation after generation died.
When newborns grow up, the first thing they chew is solid food and liquid food.
When the crisis passed and people began to rebuild the major shipping fleets that were waiting to be renovated, they had forgotten how to cook the ingredients.
Therefore, the scholars of those days really shouldn’t take the blame.
Xiangchuan scratched his head and asked another question: "Don't we usually talk about eating, breakfast, dinner and so on? Then haven't you ever thought about the original meaning of the word 'rice'?"
Upon hearing these words, the eyes of Manager Wu and some of his classmates suddenly brightened: There is indeed a story behind this!
Xiangchuan casually wanted to pick up her water glass and take a sip of fruit milk, but it was all empty. She then remembered that her water glass and the vacuum-packed fruit milk had been delivered to their residence together with their luggage, so she had to pick up the soup.
I took a bowl and took a sip of the delicious mushroom and chicken soup to moisten my throat.
"According to the records of ancient documents, the history of mankind is the history of eating grains. When archaeologists of ancient times were researching earlier ancient civilizations, the first thing they found was the fossilized grains and the grains that survived.
The word "rice" in ancient times means cooked food made from cereal grains. Usually the word "rice" refers to rice. But not only rice, but also wheat can be made into wheat rice through the same process.
It has a different flavor from rice.”
"Rice is a high-yielding crop and is an easily digestible fine grain, so it is very popular in countries with large populations. Other cereals, such as wheat and corn, were first widely used as staple foods in other continents because they are durable and can be easily processed for secondary processing.
To spread the word, using our current analogy, Dazhou is another fleet, right?"
“The taste of rice itself is relatively light, but because it is a fine grain, it is easily affected by other dishes and seasonings after steaming. In addition, it is a carbohydrate that can fill the stomach, so most of the time people use it as a food.
The first choice to fill the stomach. At the same time, because of this characteristic of rice, ancient people would more or less consider whether it can be paired with rice when cooking other dishes..."
As soon as she turned her head, she saw Aino holding a lunch box in each hand, which made her eyes light up instantly and she forgot what she had just finished saying.
He is not active in his work and has problems with his thinking.
Ainuo saw the right moment and put the lunch box in front of her, and then she felt the piercing eyes.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Manager Wu and the employees of the staple crop department who had just been "hanging out" near their dining table for a long time, glaring at him with murderous eyes.
What's going on? Aino looked at Ouyang Yating and Nancy in confusion.
Ouyang Yating raised her eyebrows, Nancy shrugged, and the two of them smiled in tacit understanding.
Not only was Kagawa just introducing the history of staple foods in the ancient world, but she also mentioned a crop that was not listed as a staple food: corn. This means that Kagawa's words are very likely to change the distribution pattern of staple food crops in the future.
Aino got her a meal "at the right time" and interrupted her. Now not only the Agriculture Bureau and the Staple Crop Department were beating their chests, but the Institute of History was probably also unable to sleep.
Fortunately, someone as slow as Xiangchuan also noticed the resentful look that Manager Wu looked at Aino, and naturally understood what he was resenting, and said with a smile: "That's about all the theoretical knowledge I know, and the rest is just the simplicity of rice and corn."
Cooking methods. Then I will sort out the records I can collect and send them to you. I can’t understand those complicated things, but I think they will be of some use to Manager Wu and everyone in the staple food crop department."
As soon as these words came out, Aino felt like the needle-pricking eyes in his body disappeared instantly.
Manager Wu and the members of the staple crop department were smiling like they were changing faces in a Sichuan opera. They kept saying, "Kanggawa-san, just watch and give it to me."
Afraid of being interrupted again.
The commotion lasted for five minutes before the area around Kagawa's table finally returned to (seemingly) calm.
Xiangchuan looked around and found that Liang Gong was missing, and asked: "Aino, where did Liang Gong go? Didn't he cook with you?"
Aino pointed to the dining area of the Animal Husbandry Department not far away with his chopsticks and said: "When he came back, his mother called him over. It is estimated that his lunch box is being divided up now."
How miserable! Everyone couldn't help but light a candle for Liang Gong.
"Wouldn't it be nice to ask their leaders to copy the kitchen AI data here to the kitchen AI in other department canteens tonight? That baby is still growing. How pitiful..."
Xiangchuan frowned and shook his head, and ate a large piece of eggplant sadly.
Foodie Qiu Manman rolled his eyes and asked: "Xiangchuan, should we still eat this tonight?"
night?
Kagawa blinked his eyes and thought while chewing his food.
It took a lot of effort to eat this white rice. Even if she eats the same thing at night, no one would refuse it, whether she is a leader who "likes the new and hates the old" or a modern person who has been doing this for hundreds of years.
But when Qiu Manman said this, Xiangchuan had some new ideas in his mind.
"You're right, Manman, we've been here, so we must do something different." Xiangchuan hummed: "Hey, rice is not the only way to eat it!"
As soon as Xiangchuan finished speaking, she felt that her thoughts were broadened in an instant. If she hadn't been reluctant to part with the rice she finally had in her mouth, she would have planned to rush directly outside the cafeteria to discuss something with Manager Wu who had just left.
At this time, Xiangchuan was very happy that he had just been forced to exchange contact information by Manager Wu.
The other people at the table exchanged glances: Today's dinner is in order.
