Chapter 239 Rum
Is there a God, and are everything I do arranged by God?
For Garris, there is a high probability that he will never be able to answer this kind of question in his lifetime.
Gairis must admit that he has had the feeling of being inspired.
It’s just that this inspiration is not an enlightenment in meditation, but a negative distance from suffering.
If we say that it is God who inspires us, then we can only say that God is in the midst of suffering, in the faces of those who have gone through hardships.
God is not holy, but is covered in dust.
It was this god of dust who summoned Garris, making him extremely obsessed and eager to change the world.
He didn't want to look back at the past, feeling regret for wasting his years and feeling ashamed for doing nothing. He wanted to dedicate his entire life and energy to the most magnificent cause in the world.
Gailis calls himself the Son of God. The former Gailis may still feel uncomfortable.
But now, he is very magnanimous, he is the Son of God.
He is the son of this God who is covered in dust, fallen into the world, covered with ridicule and filth.
To unite as one is to be God, to be scattered and to live in all directions is to be sons.
Who says that this God is not the creator of history?
History was conceived in His arms!
[We have been together in the tragedy of sin and death, and now we are united in Him. 】
......
Aaron felt that he had met a very baffling guy, indeed, very baffling.
I took the other party around the city for a week and earned a full 3 gold dinars.
After deducting the two gold dinars for the medicine, one more gold dinar came out.
If it were at the beginning of the year, this 1 gold dinar would make Aaron happy for a few days.
After all, this means a month’s expenses for their family.
But at the end of the year, this 1 gold dinar can only make Aaron happy for one day, because based on today's prices. In less than 20 days, their family will spend all the gold coins.
In fact, if the other party hadn't said a lot of incomprehensible things at the end, Aaron would have wanted to stay with the other party for a while longer.
Beside Garris, Aaron felt a sense of peace of mind.
It's just that this kind of guy who speaks incomprehensible words must also be a very troublesome guy.
Aaron is a smart young man, so he doesn't want to get into trouble.
How else can this world change? How can the new heaven and new earth be new?
In the new heaven and new earth, don’t people need to be apprentices or carry bags at the dock?
This society and this world cannot be changed.
No matter how Garris describes Aaron's misery, as a person living in suffering, it is difficult for Aaron to have passion.
But as soon as Aaron walked away from this street, he couldn't help but want to look back and take a look at the ordinary house of the Garris family.
These days, he has not gained nothing.
At least number recognition, addition, subtraction, and simple multiplication and division were all taught by Garris during the breaks in the investigation.
These knowledge, which should have been acquired with money, became something given away casually by Mr. Garris.
"If Mr. Garris wasn't an inexplicable guy, it might be a lot better..."
In the end, Aaron ran towards his home without looking back. This time, his feet At least I have an extra pair of shoes, so my feet won’t freeze anymore. Unlike the young man Gareth had seen in the tavern, Aaron, as the eldest son in the family, could at least inherit his own house.
Without having to pay a large amount of rent, Aaron is convinced that he can actually support his family by carrying bags...
Not sure. In the future, he can also let his children try to be an apprentice...
Even though the life of an apprentice is extremely torturous, it is also a way out.
The world is miserable, but Aaron still has hope for the future.
......
Gairis is not in a good mood. Without performing a "miracle" or revealing his identity, it is really difficult to just try to reason and get him into the group. of.
There is no need to analyze it in detail, this world is very bitter.
Pointing out the causes of suffering is actually not enough for people to resist. The other party will only ask: "So?"
Even if Garris proposes some reform plans and explains to the other party how to get through it, better.
But the 12th century was the 12th century, and Aaron never went to school.
None of these things can be achieved overnight, we can only say that we should change slowly.
However, the depressed mood was difficult to resolve, so Garris chose to indulge himself once.
Therefore, he returned to the previous tavern that operated a hotel business and ordered a few more drinks.
Around him were many drinkers from all walks of life.
Today, Tire’s port and dock area is extremely prosperous.
For the heroes and heroines on various ships who are just trying to make ends meet, going to a tavern to have a glass of wine, eat fish, chicken, and pork chops, and then pinch the plump buttocks of the waiter, makes people feel excited. A big move of the index finger indicates sexual excitement.
Sailors are always inseparable from wine and women after landing. If they can have a sumptuous dinner rich in fat, protein and salt, they can easily take out a large amount of money from their pockets. .
Especially now, because of Garris, rum was born hundreds of years in advance.
Now, the drunkards of the Levant are blessed.
Historically, rum was first invented in the Caribbean in the 17th century.
At that time, sugar cane planters in the colonies discovered that the molasses extracted from sugar cane was sometimes discarded as waste, but some farmers discovered that alcohol could be produced after fermentation of molasses, so they began to produce alcoholic drinks.
These early spirits were called "kill-devil" and later evolved into modern rum.
Coincidentally, before cane sugar production began in the Caribbean, Europe's main sugar supply actually came from the Levant or some islands in the Mediterranean.
Whether it is Transjordan, Cyprus, or Tripoli, there are actually a large number of sugar cane plantations.
Therefore, it naturally has unique advantages in brewing rum.
The principle of making rum is actually quite simple.
First, pre-process the sugar cane juice, the raw material of rum, adjust the sugar content and the ingredients and impurities inside, then add yeast for fermentation. Different yeasts can bring different flavors.
After fermentation comes distillation, again and again. The rum produced in the Transjordan workshop is distilled twice using a tower still, and some fruity flavors are added in a timely manner to continue to enrich the taste.
After the distillation is completed, it is aged. However, the rum industry in Palestine is just emerging, even though it has already been sought after by sailors and has become their favorite.
But the output is still small and the price is relatively expensive.
The second update, see if I can do two more updates before going to bed.
