- #331 - Chapter 332 He wants steel chopsticks
This is the power of farmers who have received education and have been deeply hurt by famine.
Even though the Takagi Kingdom has faced famine, the upper-class ruling class is still in a state of intoxication, and its deliberately ideologically antagonistic style will only lead to one result – the people are in dire straits, and the land is wailing.
Whatever the Negan Empire likes to eat, the Takagi Kingdom cannot eat.
Isn’t this a joke about taking the lives of lower-class people?
But Zelen thought about it and realized that this was actually normal.
The upper-class aristocratic forces, headed by the Takagi royal family, are on guard against the people at the lower levels every day. They are extremely worried that the people at the lower levels will follow suit and suddenly gather a crowd to raise a flag of rebellion one day and attempt to usurp the throne against them. Therefore, the upper echelons of the Takagi Kingdom are of course trying every possible means to fool the people to ensure that the people at the lower levels are not capable of posing an obvious threat to themselves.
But with such a rule in the current era, King Junwu probably has to be mentally prepared.
It is very likely that he will not be able to take off the title of King of a Subjugated Country.
Under the pressure of civil war, the lower class people, especially those in war zones, must face the threat of famine.
In order not to go hungry, these hungry people will most likely throw the concept of “can only eat rice” into the sea, and begin to eat other staple foods collectively to satisfy their hunger.
As for not eating sweet potatoes…
Please.
You may starve to death tomorrow, or die directly from the flames of war. How can you still care about what you eat?
You must know that cannibalism does not only happen to wild animals, but even intelligent race life forms will have such historical cases.
So Donghyuk is looking at the sun above his head, not knowing that on the other side of the ocean, a country ruled by night is teasing him about whether he should eat sweet potatoes.
To be honest, he didn’t want to obey the leader’s orders.
However, rice resources have decreased as the control area has increased and the number of people taking refuge has increased sharply. Therefore, Donghyuk looked at the roasted sweet potato in his hand, he was very confused and hesitant.
He wants to eat rice.
Like those pig-headed people, they can eat rice every day.
He had to eat rice until the moment he died.
Without rice, what’s the point of living?
Obviously, Donghe is similar to the pig-headed man, and he also has a very obvious rice complex.
However, unlike the pig-headed man who had to eat a meal of refined rice, Donghe gritted his teeth and stuffed the roasted sweet potato in his hand into his mouth.
sweet.
This was his first feeling.
tasty.
This is his second feeling.
Sticky aroma.
This is his third feeling.
A bit sticky to the teeth.
This is his fourth feeling.
But as he ate, he still couldn’t forget the white rice.
Even if the rice bran is not polished cleanly, he can accept it.
What’s more, the sweet potato in his hand is a “vile” food that only women eat. As a man, he ate women’s food and himself…
well!
Eat.
Now many more people have joined the Wanxi Liberation Force, and the rice that was originally abundant is now not enough. Therefore, sweet potatoes are always a hundred times better than poisonous potatoes.
Obviously, potatoes are treated worse than sweet potatoes.
It’s just that this is a cognitive concept that only exists in the black-haired kobold society within the Kingdom of Takagi.
The Krolod Empire, which obtained sweet potatoes and potatoes through trade, was even more grateful to the Takagi Kingdom and every other country on the continent of Neoland that did not value these two deeds at all.
They deserved the famine, and they could never make the number of citizens in their country exceed 100 million.
But after Donghyuk finished eating the roasted sweet potato in his hand, he still felt very repelled deep in his heart.
Sweet potatoes are not for him.
Even if it can satisfy your hunger, it ensures that you have sufficient fighting power.
Even the dark spirits in the south have developed sweet potato powder and even dried sweet potatoes, a shelf-stable military food. This did not change Donghyuk’s understanding of sweet potatoes and sweet potato products. Even if the caravans from the outside world said that the dark spirits in the south even had the skills to make sweet potato sugar, make wine, and pancakes, he was still not tempted.
【】
The problem is, if he doesn’t want to starve to death now…
Forget it, roasted sweet potatoes are definitely a simpler delicacy than the sheep-headed wheat porridge.
As a cannon fodder who had been under the hands of the sheep-headed people, Donghe couldn’t help but want to continue cursing the sheep-headed people when he thought of the sheep-headed people’s “excellent delicacies”, such as throwing a bunch of wheat into boiling water and cooking oatmeal. .
After finishing the roasted sweet potato in his hand and cursing some sheep-headed men, Donghe checked his equipment.
Compared to guns and bullets, Donghyuk is now more concerned about his tableware.
Ever since he seized a pig-headed man’s lunch box and kettle during a certain operation, Donghe found that he still needed some simple tableware to help him eat.
For example, chopsticks.
But Donghe didn’t want to use chopsticks made of bamboo and wood to eat like the Negan Empire in the south.
He wants steel chopsticks.
Yes.
Even a black-haired kobold like Donghyuk, who came from a humble background, was also influenced by the female culture of the Takagi Kingdom, and he was determined not to use tableware made of the same material as women.
Of course, metal tableware has a disadvantage: it easily conducts heat.
Regarding this, Donghyuk didn’t mind at all.
At the very least, metal tableware is definitely higher-end than bamboo and wood tableware.
In order to suppress the people and reject the matriarchal social ideology from the Negan Empire, the Takagi Kingdom must do whatever it takes to plant the seeds of a culture of misogyny among the people. As for what kind of fruit will grow from such seeds? Donghyuk is a good case.
For things like tableware, metal is superior to bamboo…
It has to be said that in the Takagi Kingdom, there is misogyny, not only hatred and prejudice against women, but also treating women as accessories to men. They will try to establish a sense of superiority through verbal violence and sexual exploitation of women, and treat their behavior as The country’s legitimate misogyny found some form of catharsis.
Because the Takagi Kingdom has been an unfair country from the beginning, and it is also a country with a long history of being a servant state.
After being a servant for a long time, there was a voice in the Takagi Kingdom.
I hope everyone can stand up and no longer have to listen to outside orders, but can control their own destiny.
However, the reality that the Takagi Kingdom is weak externally and tough internally means that it is difficult for such a voice to become a fact.
In the end, there was no way to get rid of the title of “Female Hell” of Takagi Kingdom. On the contrary, even a rebel leader like Nagamasa, who is aware of the importance of education, greatly suppresses women’s rights due to traditional cultural reasons, and firmly believes that the truth of men being outsiders and women being inside is absolutely unchanging. The presence.
Although everyone knows that such a trend of thought will cause a very bad thing. The hostility of the Negan Empire in the south, and various means of retaliation in addition to military and political means.
You must know that the Takagi Kingdom is not good at other things, but it is world-famous in terms of cultural export, which has attracted diplomatic warnings from Her Majesty the Queen of the Negan Empire for two generations.
As a result, the Takagi Kingdom was forced to pay more gifts as compensation for the reason why it said something wrong. At the same time, this is also an important reason why the Takagi Kingdom is increasingly unwilling to be a slave state to the Negan Empire.
In short, Donghe still hopes that he can eat rice every day until he dies, even if he is called a “rice bucket”, it doesn’t matter.
Rice is his soul.
It’s that simple.
I don’t know how those wheat-eating guys ensure their combat effectiveness, especially the oatmeal-eating sheep-headed men. How do they manage to kill enemies with long swords?
The long sword, an outdated weapon that should not exist at all and has little value, not only gets in the way, but is not conducive to modern warfare at all.
Anyway, Dong Hyuk now sees and knows that the most commonly used cold weapon is the short knife.
It has a single blade, good for chopping, and comes with a short knife that can be used for stabbing.
After all, he is not using the short knife to chop people, but to clear weeds and open various cans.
That’s right.
Open cans.
Since the pig-headed man’s cans didn’t have a special can opener or even a suitable can knife, Donghyuk had to use a single-edged short knife instead…
