Hello gr.9 class. This will be my last post about China. And because we are having a luncheon to talk about our countries, I have decided to talk about popular Chinese food. Here are the best foods:
Dragon Beard Candy. Made by experienced people, it is a lump of sugary stuff that is stretched like crazy until is is about 4000 strands. The strands are wrapped around coconut and peanuts. It must be eaten by 1 hour after it is made or else it loses it's texture.
 Wonton Noodle Soup. This is a very well known Chinese dish. It is made by wrapping meat or veggies in noodle dough and boiled with salt, spices, and garlic or chopped green onion. It can also be deep fried.
Pitaya or Fire Dragon Fruit. This is sour and juicy and is happily consumed by the people of the province of Guangzhou. It is said to taste kind of like kiwi. The pinker the flesh, the sweeter it is.

This is just a few of the foods of China. For the luncheon, I want to bring the Dragon Fruit. Goodbye forever bloggers.

Chinese Inventions

This time I will tell you about different Chinese inventions. Here is the list with the explanations:
1. Ice cream. In about 2000BC, Chinese people packed a milk and rice mixture in the snow.
2. Gunpowder. It was written 1044 in the Collection of the Most Important Military Techniques,by Zeng Goliang.
3. Alcohol. In the 3rd century BC the Chinese found out a way to refine vinegar and soy sauce by fermenting them. Drinks soon came later.
4. The Compass. The earliest compasses were created in the fourth century B.C. They were made of lodestone. Lodestone is a magnetic iron ore.

Those are some of the Chinese inventions. There are many more but these are the most important. Good bye.
