Thousands of sparks

Chapter 80 The Empire Has No Shredded Onions
"I have something to remind you." On the sparkling lake, Lorraine and Dusande were sitting in the same small wooden boat.Lorraine looked heroic today in a beautiful safari jacket and trousers.

She opened the rattan picnic basket in front of her, took out a metal thermos bottle from it and put it on the floor of the cabin, then hesitated a little and said, "My mother heard a piece of news recently, and this news made me feel a little nervous."

Dussande paddled, staring absently at the ducks on the lake.The duck meat of this season is not generally delicious, and he really wants to get two racks to roast on the stove until the skin is golden.

"My mother has a good relationship with the directors of United Mining." Lorraine supported her knees and said, looking at Dusand in front of her. "The directors of United Mining are very dissatisfied with the several bills of the House of Commons."

"Strictly speaking, they are dissatisfied with my mother and me." Du Sande looked away and smiled wryly twice.United Mines was unhappy with himself and his mother, which was a totally predictable thing.It would be abnormal if they didn't remember their family.

According to Dusand's own incomplete statistics, the mining association has lost a total of losses here, including but not limited to: a duke, four mines that were secretly mined, a "garbage station" for processing prisoners of war miners, Mining rights to two satellites in Seoul.

Among these losses, the loss of satellite mining rights is probably the one that angered United Mining the most.

The Empire has 42 colonies, 41 of which have satellites.According to the laws of the empire, the satellites of these colonial stars belong to "non-colonies", and United Mining has inherent rights to mine all of them.

Mineral resources are abundant on the satellites, except that there are no energy deposits such as coal and oil, they have almost all kinds of minerals with economical mining value.Of these moons, 37 have mined Ypsilon ore.

This is the strategic material of the empire and the foundation of the mining complex.

And now, the bill passed by the Newall House of Commons directly threatens the foundations of the mining complex.Although the Mining Affairs Committee of the House of Commons gave the mining consortium permission to continue mining on the two satellites of Newsail on the day the bill was passed, this is a very dangerous sign.

There are 41 colonies that also have satellites like Newsail, and their Houses of Commons may not be as wise as Newsail's House of Commons.

Fighting against the Mining Consortium is a very convenient means for small members of parliament to gain votes. As long as they put on a posture of "I am not in harmony with the Mining Consortium", the nobles who mine on the colonial planet will spend a lot of money. donations.

In order to win these "supports" for themselves, those little councilors might even throw away their last shred of reason.

Of course, Dusande knew that the situation was very serious now, and was missed by a behemoth like the mining complex, and the other party wanted to "eat its flesh and lay bare its skin", so Dusande felt uneasy when he slept at night.

He also took many measures for this.

For example, the gas supply order to the mining complex is an important mitigation plan he is currently promoting.At present, all military vehicles and civilian vehicles produced by the "Belford Automobile Manufacturing Company" established by him and Polina use the gas from the United Mining Industry.

In order to ensure that the joint mining industry can have enough food without competition, Polina also specially improved the design of the interface of the vehicle's fuel system.This interface is patented by the Belford Motor Company, and the patent is currently only licensed to United Mines.

As a modern person, Du Sande knows very clearly that the community of interests is the most stable relationship.The mining complex suffered several sap blows, so a large sweet date must be given to prevent them from flipping the table over on the spot.

"The exclusive right to supply gas may not be enough to appease United Mining." Lorraine sighed and said, "I suggest that my mother let me hear their conversation on purpose-the energy department of United Mining is in the entire mining union. The right to speak in the body is very slight, if you want to appease United Mining, you need further measures.”

Du Sande sighed, this is already beyond his ability.

"I will arrange for my mother to meet with the representative of United Mining as soon as possible." Du Sande picked up the thermos, unscrewed it, and sniffed it carefully. "What's in it? A drink?"

"A drink made of milk and fruit." Lorraine smiled, "I adjusted it according to your taste, and I reduced the proportion of sugar."

Dusand poured it out, and found that the liquid inside had turned into a sticky, cheese-like thing.

"Next time you make this kind of drink, you can consider replacing the sour fruit like citrus with other types." Dusande said while pouring "Iced Old Yogurt" into his mouth, "But this... It tastes good!"

"Master, let's go back to the shore!" On the small boat in the distance, Rosen waved his hands at Dusande Xingao and shouted, "I've already killed six ducks, enough to eat!"

Behind the reeds by the lake, there is a gently rising hillside, and the green grass on the ground of the hillside grows gratifyingly.It can be seen that the gardener at home has put a lot of thought into taking care of the lawn, and it feels like stepping on a thick velvet spread.If you step on it with bare feet, the grass leaves will not prick your feet, but it will make people feel a little itchy.

The servants of the manor pushed the mobile duck oven designed by Dusande to the hillside, and built a shade area with a thick canvas coated with a thick layer of grease and beeswax.

The ducks that Rosen shot back were all accurately hit on the head, and the skin on their bodies was not broken at all.While lamenting that his little brother's marksmanship is getting better and better now, Du Sande started to process the duck meat.

The servants plucked the feathers from the duck ahead of time, and gutted the duck as Dusande requested.

Roasted duck oven, the whole duck embryo with its internal organs taken out from the neck, these two things put together, Du Sande suddenly felt that he could do it.

One of the standard items for travelers is here - BJ Roast Duck!

Five minutes later, Dussand gave up on his foolish attempt. The reason why BJ roast duck is one of the facades of Chinese food is that the technical difficulties in it are simply beyond the reach of a normal person.

At least Dusande couldn't think of how he could use his mouth to blow up the duck's skin.He also doesn't know how to prepare the crispy water.

And he doesn't know how to make spring pancakes, let alone how to make sweet noodle sauce.

The empire doesn't have shredded shallots either.
