But then again, Zelen himself was also very curious. There are too many forces or countries in the world that rely on a single staple food. If you want them to change their taste, it will be a war.
Especially the humans on the Mania continent. These guys not only refuse rice, but even regard rice as a “weed” that harms wheat planting and burns it.
The reason…
is very simple.
In the past, the humans on the Mania continent were collectively exiled by some tall people with pointed ears who eat rice – the dark elves of the Negan Empire, and in the more distant history, they were almost killed to extinction by another intelligent race that eats rice – the dog-headed people.
For this reason, they regard every race that eats rice as a very terrible enemy, and carry out large-scale rice elimination operations within their control areas, and resolutely prevent these foods that nourish extremely terrifying enemies from existing in the world.
Even if the Negan Empire is willing to send a merchant group to purchase at a suitable price, the humans on the Mania continent still have not stopped the action of clearing “harmful weeds”. In short, after the outside world was interfered with by the mind control ray. The humans on the Mania continent temporarily stopped the business of burning rice.
But…
Even if it is not the intelligent race (human) that occupies the majority of the world, some alien races do not accept the existence of rice at all.
The sheep-headed people are one of them.
In their eyes, wheat is above everything.
And the sheep-headed people have never invented pasta so far.
There is no noodles at all, and the common food of the sheep-headed people is just oatmeal porridge.
It is not even as good as the toasted bread that humans often eat on the Mania continent.
Even if such bread is not processed by baking soda or other fermentation technology, the bread baked in this way is as hard as a mallet that can be used to hit people or a hammer for hammering nails.
So, for now, there is only one country in the world that is best at cooking wheat – the Negan Empire. Even the Crurod Empire, which learned to grind wheat with a millstone from the members of the Negan Empire’s merchant group, and then added a certain amount of water to the ground flour to make noodles, and invented seafood stewed noodles.
Before this, the Crurod Empire only ate wheat in the form of baked bread. As for later, the Holy Church also developed the technology of steaming dough and making bread, and the Krulod Empire naturally did not hesitate to learn it directly through trade.
But as for Zelun’s own taste, he thinks that between bread and noodles, noodles are the best.
The production and processing are the most convenient and quick, and with the special noodle machine, many people’s meals are solved so simply and quickly.
Even if it takes more time to cook noodles than steaming rice directly with water. But this will not stop the pace of every noodle lover in the Krulod Empire, nor will it let these lovers continue to eat rice from now on.
Of course, inspired by noodles, the Krulod Empire and the Nigan Empire have a kind of food-rice noodles.
The white noodles are ground from rice and then squeezed out like noodles.
In terms of taste, it is said to be sweeter than noodles made from wheat.
But Zelun himself can’t taste it.
However, because of the appearance of rice noodles made from rice, there have always been many fans in the Krulod Empire.
In particular, rice noodles are cheaper than noodles, and are often eaten by many poor people who are short of money. Therefore, after the appearance of rice noodles, the tableware of the Krurod Empire was basically chopsticks.
Eating rice noodles with a knife and fork, even if they are not soaked in soup, but just placed on a plate, and soaked in cold water to make them taste better, is really difficult.
Moreover, in terms of absorption and satiety, rice noodles are actually better than simple steamed rice. However, the production of rice noodles also requires grinding. During the grinding process, the rice itself will definitely lose some nutrients. Therefore, in the Krurod Empire, rice noodles are at most a fast food for the poor masses, and they are not qualified to be a regular meal.

To sum up the above, the more staple food varieties a country has, the less likely it is to encounter a food crisis and cause famine. Therefore, Zelun is very interested in the pig-headed people of the Akitsu Empire, and he really hopes to see what kind of reaction the pig-headed people will have when they don’t have rice to eat.
Can they do what they often say, that they will never agree to the orders from above without refined rice?
Obviously, Zelun, who knows how sinful he is, doesn’t mind taking on such a sin at all. Even from his perspective, he could have a sports meeting on the big bed for this matter, and everyone must be happy.
It would be fine if he couldn’t provide any ammunition.
Just like now when Mu Jie took the initiative to lie down, he hugged Paula and kissed her while cultivating Mu Jie and enjoying Mu Jie’s high-quality exclusive service.
Anyway, as long as the Crurod Empire was not affected by the disaster, what did it matter to him as the emperor of the Crurod Empire?
Could he be kind enough to compensate the pig-headed people?
Don’t even think about it.
In his opinion, the pig-headed people should not exist. At least, they should not stay in the eastern islands of the current Aisha Continent, thus posing a threat to the South China Sea Islands including the Crurod Empire.
Of course, Zelen doesn’t mind at all that the pig-headed men of the Akijin Empire move westward and occupy the territory in the eastern part of the Aisha continent that originally belonged to the Iron Fist Empire. But in this way, the end of the Pig-headed people is not far away. As long as the Holy Church follows the development trend of regaining one-sixth of the original territory of the Iron Fist Empire, once the Pig-headed people make such a choice, it is equivalent to declaring war on the Holy Church.
Although the current Holy Church does not have many troops or even weapons and equipment, they do have proton cannons, a dangerous strategic weapon comparable to the Orchid Republic’s atomic missiles and the Negan Empire’s weather control devices.
Once the pig-headed man figured out his goal, Maoran stepped into the territory of the original Iron Fist Empire.
Feel sorry.
The proton impact cannon will tell every pig-headed man in the Akitsu Empire what they should do now, as well as important things they must not do.
After all, one or two countries in the northern part of the Neoland continent in the past had set a very good example, so the shocking power of the super weapon could keep the pig-headed man awake.
For this reason, this is why Zelen will visit a certain research center in the country every day to see what the status of the storm origin device is. As long as he has this device (more precisely, a super weapon that can greatly affect the world situation), Zelen does not believe that the pig-headed man will keep pretending to be dead and pretend that he has not invaded the Crurod Empire.
As long as they don’t come out to sign the armistice agreement, Zelen doesn’t need to care what they think, he can use whatever weapons are powerful.
if it is possible……
If a major earthquake breaks out in the Akitsu Empire’s homeland, or an undersea volcano erupts…
Admittedly, Zelen, who had no sympathy for foreigners, looked happy. He didn’t know, or even wanted to know, what the consequences of his decision would be.
But who can blame that?
After all, the pig-headed people did not declare war and slaughtered innocent people, so don’t ask Zelen why he attacked the pig-headed civilians of the Akijin Empire.
Anyway, Zelen now has enough time and a sharp butcher’s knife to ensure that the pig-headed man can survive but not die.
At the same time, and more importantly, the pig-headed people’s statement that rice is supremacy and that eating wheat or other staple foods is a base race is as absurd as the Iron Fist Empire’s claim that some forces who are disobedient and incompetent use sabers to split tanks.
Although in the continent of Neoland, there was indeed a brave man who was summoned through some unknown method. He actually held a long sword and fought against the kobold tanks.
But the fate of that brainless “reckless man” was absolutely miserable.
His long sword couldn’t cut into the tank, so he was knocked down by the tank and then crushed into two pieces by the vehicle’s tracks. In the end, he was strung up on a long pole by the kobolds, and cut off all the pieces of the hero’s flesh in front of many hostile soldiers and civilians who had expectations for the brave and even believed that the brave could defeat the kobolds, and bled him to death…
