Chapter 1305 Reward
This is also the main reason why the Javr couple intend to let Alva inherit their career. If they want to be a sailor, they must carefully consider it.
Being a sailor in this era is a real escape from death, and the danger is extremely high. After all, anything can happen on the sea, including natural disasters and man-made disasters.
While they were talking, the cargo on the ship had been completely unloaded. After docking the ship at a fixed location, the Yevels began to go ashore to look for a place to eat.
With the liberalization of the free market in East Africa, the catering industry in East Africa has ushered in a real explosion, which is most vividly reflected in the city of Kampala.
Restaurants of all types abound in Kampala, especially oriental dining, which has become more diverse in East Africa.
In the past, the catering industry in East Africa was disrupted by the planned economy, so even though there were many immigrants from the Far East in East Africa, the dishes only accounted for a small part.
Now, anyone with some basic cooking skills can open a small restaurant, which has greatly promoted the development of East African cuisine.
After all, East Africa itself is a country of immigrants, and the cooking methods of the Middle Eastern Empire, German, Italian, Slavic and other regions can be found in East Africa.
Among them, the Far Eastern Empire and German catering are the most widely distributed, and the unique product conditions of East Africa have given these cuisines a foundation for further integration and development in East Africa.
The more distinctive food in the Great Lakes area is naturally "fish". The Great Lakes is very rich in fish resources. Various delicious freshwater fish species, coupled with advanced cooking techniques, make East Africans particularly particular about eating fish.
In East Africa, fish meat mainly comes from two types, one is freshwater fish and the other is marine fish. It is obvious that the proportion of people in East Africa eating freshwater fish is much higher than that in Europe.
This is related to the short development time of the marine fishing industry in East Africa and the large number of lakes in East Africa. Among them, the Great Lakes, Lake Solon (Lake Tanganyika), and Lake Malawi are famous for their freshwater fish.
For this reason, the East African government has also issued special decrees to prevent species invasion, thereby destroying the original fish growth environment.
This is naturally in response to the negative impact of the Nile perch flooding in the previous life. In the previous life, the introduction of Nile perch into Lake Victoria led to the extinction of a large number of native fish species.
However, the Javr couple are obviously not interested in eating fish. After all, they almost live on the big lake. Fish is the most common food on the boat. Naturally, they came to land for a change of taste.
After disembarking from the Port of Kampala, walk about one kilometer northwest of the pier and you will find a street mainly dedicated to restaurants, called Senhail Street.
This street is obviously very different from many places in Kampala. It seems more chaotic, because the main people living here are dock workers.
The Port of Kampala is a large inland port in the Great Lakes region, so there are a lot of dockworkers, and the business in Senhel Street is basically supported by them.
The income of dock workers is not high, and the transportation of materials here is convenient, so the prices here are also relatively low.
The Yevel couple came to a restaurant named Li's Farm Cuisine on Senheier Street.
Yevel said to the restaurant owner very familiarly: "Mom boss, please order a stir-fried sausage, a piece of beef with onions, and a piece of chili tofu skin."
"A stir-fried sausage..." the proprietress shouted towards the kitchen.
Obviously, the catering industry in East Africa, especially the low-end catering industry, has basically been led astray by Far Eastern immigrants, who have almost monopolized the market. This has also led to the fact that the catering services in East Africa today are almost the same as those in the Far Eastern Empire in the previous life.
The tipping culture originated from the European upper class, but most of the upper class in East Africa also come from the lower class people, the army or military academies, rather than the rich and declining nobles like American immigrants who directly landed in the United States.
The difference between the two means that the upper class in East Africa does not have the habit of "tipping", and the people at the bottom of East Africa naturally cannot "follow the example", even now that people's lives are more affluent. This is also related to the fact that most of the East African catering employees inherited from the Far Eastern Empire.
There is no doubt that the cooking skills mastered by the immigrants from the Far Eastern Empire are far better than those of other immigrant groups. The reason why some German delicacies and foods are still quite influential in East Africa is also related to the previous cultural integration policy in East Africa.
If we had liberalized the policy and allowed free competition between the two, I am afraid that other cuisines would not be able to compete with the cuisine of the Far Eastern Empire at all.

February 24, 1918.
Rhine city.
Ernst was conducting a commendation event for the National Defense and Security Bureau. As time went by, the Kazan treasury gold was successfully brought back to East Africa by the National Defense and Security Bureau.
It can be said that there are no dangers along the way, and the most dangerous one is the route through Persia. After all, Persia is deeply influenced by the British, and there are even British troops stationed in Persia.
If the news leaked, no one would be indifferent to the gold in the Kazan treasury, which had to be guarded against both the British and the Persians.
In the end, it was completely safe until the Defense Security Administration took the wealth aboard a warship in the Persian Gulf.
"Mr. Brühl, in view of your great contribution to the empire, I specially make you a Viscount of the Empire and reward you with one million Rhine guilders." Ernst pinned an Iron Cross badge on Brühl's chest and said .
The Iron Cross badge of East Africa represents a very high honor. So far, it has only been awarded to thirteen people who have made great contributions to East Africa.
And if you look closely at Brühl's face, you will find that he is the leader of the Kazan Army who disappeared from Russia. General "Berezovka".
In terms of rewards, East Africa is still relatively petty. After all, according to "Berezovka's" contribution, one viscount is obviously not enough, but the current East African government cannot raise his title too high.
After all, what Brühl did in Russia was not honorable, and the Kazan Army he formed became a new warlord force in Russia. Therefore, currently only giving Brühl one viscount is actually to protect him.
The physical reward is more realistic. One million Rhine Guilder is not a small amount. Although the Rhine Guilder is far less valuable than the pound, it is also a currency directly linked to gold.
One million Rhine guilders is enough for Brühl to become a new wealthy class in East Africa. This is also related to the national system and policies of East Africa.
You must know that East Africa has only been open for eight years, so the rich people in East Africa are far inferior to traditional powers such as Britain and France. After all, hundreds of years of accumulation are not what ordinary people in East Africa can achieve in a few years.
Moreover, although Brühl played an important role in the robbery of the Kazan treasury in Russia, there were as many as 2,000 National Defense and Security Bureau personnel involved in the robbery of the Kazan treasury in Russia. With so many people, they naturally shared the share of the treasury. "credit".
As the leader among them, Brühl's income is obviously relatively reasonable. Of course, the East African government and the royal family make even more, with more than 200 tons of gold. Even if Brühl is given the title of a duke, it is not an exaggeration.
Of course, there are countless dukes, marquises and counts in East Africa, and they are naturally more conspicuous. If you mention counts to Brühl, it will obviously attract the attention of some interested people, although the probability is very small.
When Brühl was in the Kazan Army, most members of the Kazan Army had seen his true appearance, especially the more than 10,000 members of the Kazan Army who were personally commanded by him.
Ernst naturally did not want the theft of Russian wealth in East Africa to be exposed, so he tried his best to conceal Brühl's identity.
