MTL - American Warehouse Taobao King-Chapter 870 【Visit the Nile River】
After watching the documentary on the entire production process of the mummy, everyone felt a little shudder. Only the ancient Egyptians would have the courage and technology to deal with the dead in such a way. Of course, this is also related to the beliefs at that time. Even now, embalming is a very popular profession in the West. Although it is not as scary and professional as making mummies, it is also a respected profession.
This is also related to religion, whether it is Christianity or Catholicism, it is a necessary rule to keep the bodies of believers intact. When **** came to the world to be resurrected again, these believers were also resurrected. No body was burned to ashes. How could they be resurrected? Therefore, there is such a mysterious and respected profession in the West, that is, embalmers who specialize in handling corpses.
After the tour of the mummy exhibition hall, I came to the second floor of the museum to visit the small pieces of art. Most of these small pieces of art are pure gold jewelry, which is of course the product of thousands of years ago, but the shape is still relatively exquisite, which can be compared with those gold art pieces collected by the Yang family.
The Cairo Museum is quite large. It takes a day and a half for a family to visit all of them. Due to the lack of time, only those key areas of interest were selected to visit and tour, and the whole morning was spent like this. When it was almost noon, I walked from the museum and came to one of the best restaurants in Cairo, Egypt to taste the local cuisine.
The arrangement in the afternoon is also very compact, that is, take a yacht to visit the scenery on both sides of the Nile River, Egypt is in the upper half of the Nile River Delta. You can take a yacht to visit the scenery of the Nile River on both sides. Last time we talked about the Nile River, the longest river in the world, but its temper is not so good. Every year, there will be floods and flooding.
But the wise ancient Egyptians understood the temper of the Nile, and the Nile flooded every year at a fixed time. After crossing the river bank, the Qianli River embankment is flooded into a vast ocean, but after the flood recedes, there will be nutrient-rich silt left on both sides of the Nile River. These silts are all nutrients brought from Africa by the upper reaches of the Nile River.
When the river recedes, the silt will be exposed, so fertile that even a rolling pin can grow into a towering tree. A handful of seeds can grow food, so the ancient Egyptians developed a calendar based on the flooding of the Nile, and after the flood had receded, they began to cultivate crops on it. Coupled with the convenience of watering, basically every year will get a bumper harvest and feed the entire ancient Egyptians.
This time, Yang Yong took his family to Cairo for a tour, and he was on a yacht to visit the agricultural areas on both sides of the Nile River. It was just in time. The flood had receded as early as two months ago, and now the banks of the Nile River have become 10,000 acres of fertile land. Growing a variety of crops, Egypt's wheat is quite famous, and the baked bread produced is rich and delicate.
There is also a very high cash crop, that is Egyptian long-staple cotton, which is the most popular textile cotton in the world. Cotton cloth made of Egyptian long-staple cotton is very popular in the world, because the silk of this cotton is very long and it is very convenient to imitate, and it is also very comfortable to wear on the body.
The Yang family pays great attention to environmental protection and greenness, and the bedding they use is made of pure cotton. Its main raw material is Egyptian long-staple cotton, so it is no stranger to the Egyptian long-staple cotton Yang family. In addition to these crops, there are many fresh fruits. Tomatoes and cucumbers, Yang Yong even saw the rice planting area. I didn’t expect that Egypt would still grow rice. Can you imagine that rice is grown in the desert?
The yacht rented by the Yang family is not small, and of course the price is high. There are five rooms for people to live in. There is a small air wave bathtub, which also allows people to soak in it and enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait. Tonight, the Yang family lives on the yacht, and it's time for them to come, and prepare to spend a romantic night on the yacht.
Of course, no matter how luxurious it is, it can’t keep up with the luxury of the Anna, but it is not easy to rent such a luxurious yacht in Egypt, what else can you expect. That night, the yacht happened to be driving in the most prosperous new city in Egypt. Haojia was brightly lit on both sides of the strait, and docked on the shore to enjoy the splendidly lit night scene on the shore. Then there was a candlelight dinner, and the whole family felt very happy.
Stayed on the yacht for one night and the next morning, Yang Yong and his family began to visit the most famous ancient city in Egypt. Although the buildings in these ancient cities are very dirty, which building's history is that? It's almost as long as the United States' national history. The architecture is also very distinctive, especially the Grand Bazaar in the old city, that is, the characteristic agricultural market is very lively. It sells everything in it, only what you can't think of, and nothing you can't buy.
And the things are of good quality and low price. In a clothing store that is said to have a history of more than 200 years, all members of the Yang family have tailor-made a set of characteristic Arabian clothing. Due to the large number of clothes, the time to pick up the clothes was arranged after three days, and the chef of the Yang family came to the Grand Bazaar with his assistants to buy a lot of special spices, ready to bring back to the United States to increase the freshness of the kitchen.
Egypt is also a food kingdom, there are many special foods waiting for people to enjoy, especially in the famous Grand Bazaar market. It can be said that there is a dazzling array of everything. Don't look at these food stalls, which seem to be dirty and messy, even if the things in these old places are the most authentic and the most delicious.
If you want to experience the most traditional food in Egypt, no other place dares to call yourself the maker of traditional food. Which store is not a hundred years old? No matter how dirty or messy the store is when eating here, it gives the feeling that one cannot experience it in any high-end hotel, and that is the vicissitudes of history.
Because there are too many delicacies, people’s stomachs are limited, and they can’t vomit and eat. Eat and vomit. So even if the people in Yang Yong's family ate a little bit of every specialty snack, their stomachs would be full after two hours, and they could barely walk. The servants behind him were covered with all kinds of packaging boxes, and the contents were all the snacks that the Yang family liked very much, and they were going to buy them back and eat them slowly.
When everyone was tired from walking, they came across a special cafe. After entering, they didn’t expect to sell special black tea. You said why there was a neon coffee cup advertisement outside a teahouse, and Yang Yong understood when the black tea was served. Why is there an advertisement for a coffee cup outside, because black tea is served in a coffee cup, and the black tea is very rich in color.
Based on experience, you must think that these red and purple black teas will definitely be bitter and astringent. In addition to the fragrance, there is some sweetness in your mouth. This is the black tea with Egyptian characteristics. There are not many people in the teahouse, but they are all elderly people. Some people still smoke hookah and feel that their life is very leisurely. When I saw these people, I felt a sense of tranquility, which calmed my irritable heart unconsciously.
