Malin sent people to study how to solidify maple syrup and failed. Although maple syrup is called sugar, it is actually similar to honey and is liquid. Marin and Garland rallied all the master chefs on Cape Breton Island and couldn't turn the maple sugar into solid particles. Using saltpeter to make ice can freeze maple syrup, but it becomes liquid again at room temperature.

"That's not right, I've eaten maple syrup cubes in a western restaurant in my last life!" Marin scratched his head.

In fact, this is Marlin's ignorance. The so-called "maple syrup cubes" in western restaurants are not pure maple syrup, but butter, sugar and honey. It is a mixture, not pure maple syrup.

Marin didn't give up, and went south to the North American Twin Islands with a dozen barrels of maple sugar that he had just extracted, and found Da Vinci...

He believes that the masters of Cape Breton Island are too poor to make maple syrup. So, he decided to find Da Vinci, the biggest god of this era, to do it...

As a result, Leonardo da Vinci and his wife Lisa ate half a barrel of maple sugar and failed to make the maple sugar solid...

Marin was very frustrated that it would be inconvenient to store without making a solid. After all, liquids spoil more easily than solids. Marin remembers that maple syrup has a longer shelf life, up to 4 years, which is longer than the 18 to 24 months for typical syrups.

However, the shelf life of 4 years is high-purity maple syrup, which is basically free of impurities and moisture. However, in this day and age, it is difficult to obtain high-purity maple syrup. Ordinary quality maple syrup is no different from other types of syrup. Not only that, the preservation of maple syrup also requires a sealed container, which has been processed like a can, and must be placed in a cool, dry place... In short, liquid maple syrup is not easy to store...

In addition, the most important thing is that if the maple syrup is brought back to Europe and sold, it is a bit unclear where it came from...

You say it's sucrose, why isn't it sold in solid form? You say it's honey, it doesn't taste right...

If the source is confessed, maybe someone will come to snatch Canada...

Therefore, Marin was extremely distressed and didn't know what to do with maple syrup...

Fortunately, Da Vinci's family did not eat half a bucket of maple syrup for nothing. Da Vinci finally came up with a solution-since it can't be sold separately, why not mix maple syrup with other products and sell it together?

For example, mixing maple syrup with rye Erguotou (that is, whiskey), the taste... is much stronger than mixing brown sugar...

Moreover, the rye Erguotou mixed with maple syrup will have a light amber color, and it will look good. Unlike the rye Erguotou mixed with brown sugar, it is a little black and the color is very ugly...

So, the first use of maple syrup was set - mixed with Erguotou to enhance the taste!

Then, Leonardo suggested that maple syrup can be mixed into foods such as bread to enhance the taste. The bread tastes super good with maple syrup and cream...  

Marin frowned at the suggestion. why? Bread has a short shelf life! If the bread is not vacuum-packed, the shelf life is only a few days. Adding maple syrup is not worth it. And if it is provided to the bakery, it is not clear to explain the source of maple syrup...

"I'm just giving advice, it's up to you. Da Vinci doesn't care if Marin doesn't take his advice. He's munching on Queen's bread with maple syrup and cream. Halfway through, old man. The guy was so playful that he actually kneaded the bread into a small lump. Then, he laughed like an old child..."

Marin looked at Da Vinci's mentally retarded behavior, but was inspired:

"Knead into a small lump... Compress... Yes! Compress cookies!" Marin suddenly got inspiration.

Marin remembers that compressed biscuits were the most important basic ration for the military.

Moreover, the biggest feature of compressed biscuits is the long shelf life, which can reach more than 3 years. In fact, if kept well, it is said that some are still eaten for 10 years.

Marin now has oil paper in his hand. As long as it is packaged, the air is pressed out, and the compressed biscuits are kept for two or three years.

Moreover, biscuits with maple sugar can greatly enhance the taste of compressed biscuits and avoid discomfort. Maple syrup is already rich in minerals, and it is added into compressed biscuits with no nutrition, which is a proper high-end military ration. Not only can the army be used on a large scale, but the voyage can also bring a large number of maple syrup compressed cookies. Compressed biscuits with maple sugar added will not only taste better, but also rich in nutrition, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

"Very good, very good! With these two major uses, there is no need to worry about the maple syrup being consumed!" Marin quickly took out his notebook and wrote down all these.

Of course, with these two major uses, the demand for maple syrup is actually not too large. Therefore, Marin adjusted his plan in time - no longer seeking to contact the Indians on the road, and buying maple sugar on a large scale. With the demand for maple sugar greatly reduced, the production of maple sugar on Cape Breton and Newfoundland is sufficient for consumption. However, if the technology of maple syrup is developed in the future, it can also join the Indians at any time to increase the production of maple syrup. Anyway, there are many native sugar maple trees in Canada, and the Indians don’t like to cut down trees to clear the land...

...

After solving the problem of the use of maple syrup, Marin said nothing, took the Da Vinci family aboard and prepared to bring them back to China. Because, Marin found that there are too few people who can communicate with him in this era. Only a genius like Da Vinci can keep up with the advanced thinking of his traveler. There are many things that Da Vinci has to do for him. For example, the new steering wheel needs the help of Leonardo da Vinci to study. What is the steering wheel that I asked the watchmakers to study before? It is actually a collection of gears and copper rods, which really gives full play to the expertise of the watchmaker. However, that steering wheel system is not labor-saving and expensive. So, Marin decided to let Da Vinci get a new style...

"However, the steam engine application on my side has not been completed..." Da Vinci objected weakly.

"Don't do it, that's not in a hurry now. Hurry up and pack up and follow me. If you don't agree, you will be knocked unconscious and taken away!" Marin waved his hand impatiently. And Kahn, who was beside Marin, also rubbed his wrist, as if he was really going to knock Ada unconscious...

Remembering the nightmarish experience last time, Da Vinci honestly packed up and got on the boat...

After arriving in New York, Marin was relieved to find that the New York Harbor was already under construction. And Manhattan Island, which has now been reclaimed into an agricultural base, is thriving...

After inspecting Manhattan Island, standing on the roof of the castle, Albert asked suspiciously:

"Second brother, why is this island called Manhattan? Also, why is it called New York (New York)?"

Marin was stunned and said:

"Need a reason?"

"Don't you need it?" Albert tilted his head, puzzled.

"do you need?"

Albert loses...

...

"Looks like it's time to go back to Europe!" New York has seen it, but it doesn't really matter. The old forests in the deep mountains are not much different from the forest areas of later generations.

Only after landing on Liberty Island, where the Statue of Liberty was placed in later generations, Marin suddenly said to Albert:

"This small island is very suitable for placing a statue, the tall one..."

Albert nodded, but asked again:

"God's statue or Jesus'?"

"No, mine!" Marin said softly.

Albert immediately covered his face, he felt ashamed for Marin...

However, Marin asked in a flat tone:

"What? Is there a problem?"

Albert suddenly remembered that he was not only Marin's younger brother, but also a subordinate officer of Marin. As a subordinate, you have to execute the will of the leader...

So, although he felt shameless, Albert still confidently replied:

"No problem! In addition, I will arrange for those civilians to propose to you the statue, not myself!"

Seeing that his younger brother was on the road, Marin nodded in satisfaction. But he explained:

"The statue is not in a hurry for the time being. You lay the foundation on the island first. After I have negotiated with a master sculptor named Michelangelo in Italy, let him sculpt. Then, ship it here and place it on the foundation. Come on. By the way, the foundation should be raised up and facing south, so it's better for ships entering New York Harbor to see it from afar!"

"Yes, obey!"

...

After returning to Manhattan Island, Marin thought for a while, then called Albert again and said:

"I'm going back to Europe, you go and arrange carpenters to build 300 coffins!"

Albert was taken aback:

"Second brother, why do you want so many coffins?"

"I want to show the Europeans! You know how fertile and endless the land here is. If other European countries are coveted here, it will be hard for us to resist. So, I want to exaggerate this place. These 300 coffins are made to carry them back for everyone to see. I want the whole of Europe to know that the indigenous people here are savage and fierce, and their fighting power is strong. In this way, they will not dare to covet here!"

"Understood!" Albert turned around and called the carpenter to build the coffin.

And Marin arranged for 300 soldiers to stay and counted as the "death list". In fact, the families of these 300 people, Marin will soon be sent to America to reunite with them.

Marin plans to hold a state funeral for these 300 "dead soldiers" after returning to China, in front of the envoys of various countries, and try to make it bigger, so that everyone can know that America is "very dangerous"...

Anyway, no one will open the coffin to conduct an autopsy. As long as the accompanying soldiers are instructed, no one will know whether 300 North Sea soldiers really died in America...\u003c/content\u003e
