48. Hot sauce

What will happen to Zhu Min and the girl of the salt people in the end is not what Ming Yijun cares about. After parting with them, Ming Yijun felt relaxed, and after Zhan Lu sighed for a while, he no longer took the matter to heart.

In the end, it is someone else's story, and the lives of the two of them have to live by themselves after all.

The boat moved slowly, and the sailors cut out of the cloth cast their nets and caught a large octopus.

Zhan Lu had never seen an octopus yet, so she looked at this strange thing curiously and volunteered to make it into a delicious meal.

Zhan Lu took a knife and cut off two of the octopus's wrists and feet.

The octopus's wrists were the length of a human arm, and Ming Yijun smiled as she struggled to walk into the ship's galley with her struggling wrists.

There was only a very small galley on board with some simple spices. Zhan Lu cut the octopus's wrist and foot into several pieces and began to try to do it.

She first threw the octopus brachiopod into water and boiled it, but after boiling it for too long, the octopus brachiopod became so hard that it was difficult to eat.

She fired it again, and the ending was the same.

Zhan Lu tried it several times before finally finding the right heat. She found that the octopus brachiopods at the right temperature were sweet and fatty, and the taste was very satisfying, and it was a wonderful ingredient.

Zhan Lu searched the kitchen for a suitable spice for octopus, and she found a small jar of chili sauce in the kitchen, along with some sesame seeds and cumin. If you make octopus with these seasonings, it will taste good.

She pours oil into the pan and puts the sliced octopus in it, adding seasonings like hot sauce. The octopus brachiopods rattle in the pot and keep jumping up and down, which looks a little strange, but it still looks delicious. The red hot sauce covers the octopus feet, dyeing the octopus feet, which are supposed to be white, into a very delicious color.

She quickly brought out the octopus foot and couldn't wait to taste it.

Oops!

Zhan Lu can't taste the spicy taste of the chili sauce, but the fermented chili sauce is not just spicy. This slightly sweet and sour fragrance is perfectly combined with the strange aroma of cumin, and the umami of octopus feet is fully stimulated, and the feeling is simply wonderful.

The heat of the dew is very well controlled, and the squid foot has an excellent taste and is full of elasticity.

Zhan Lu made a large plate, and while she ate it, she took the plate out and took it to Ming Yijun. Ming Yijun took a piece of the spoon and put it in his mouth to chew, narrowing his eyes.

Zhan Lu looked at him expectantly:

"How's that?"

"It's good," he commented, "and the seasoning is quite sophisticated, like a master chef." ”

It was rare for Zhan Lu to hear him praise like this, and he laughed.

Ming Yijun didn't intend to let Zhan Lu stay proud, he said while eating:

"It's just...... It's so spicy...... I just can't stand it. ”

Ming Yijun has seen the world, although this octopus is extremely spicy, he has never lost his temper. After eating the octopus enough, he refused to eat it again, but poured himself a large bowl of water to drink.

Zhan Lu was so easy to get a compliment from him, but when he heard him say something bad at this time, his feelings fell down all of a sudden, but he still had to argue with his neck:

"I can't eat anything if it's spicy!"

Ming Yijun didn't argue with her, picked up a piece of octopus foot with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth.

Zhan Lu relied on himself to not eat the spicy taste, and enjoyed the delicious taste of the octopus feet, the large octopus feet were to be eaten in a big gulp, and it was quite enjoyable to eat, Zhan Lu couldn't stop eating, and kept admiring in his heart:

Ahh

This octopus was probably very spicy, and Zhan Lu felt that her esophagus and stomach were a little hot!

Zhan Lu ate and ate, and slowly noticed some irritation in her mouth. She didn't pay much attention to it, after all, most of the seasonings used to make octopus feet this time were a bit exciting. It's normal for something to feel something isn't quite right in your mouth.

But after a while, Zhan Lu felt that her mouth was starting to heat up. The spicy taste of the chili pepper stimulates her taste buds, jumping on the tip of her tongue, while the taste of octopusfoot seems to get even better.

Zhan Lu didn't realize what happened right away, and it wasn't until she was spicy that she looked at Ming Yijun with a plea look:

"Lang Jun, what's wrong with me!"

Ming Yijun didn't say anything, just silently handed her a large glass of water.

He watched her drink the water, jumped to her feet and flashed her tongue, and said with a smile:

"What a rare opportunity, do you know what the chili sauce you used to cook just now?"

Zhan Lu was a little confused, raised his head and asked him:

"Isn't that ...... Chili sauce in general?"

Ming Yijun laughed at her and realized it:

"You idiot, you chili sauce...... Do you think your stiff tongue can taste the spicy taste of ordinary hot sauce so lightly?"

"Ahh......h Is this what it tastes like?" exclaimed.

Piquancy...... It's not as easy to accept as sweet and sour, but it's a very attractive taste.

Is...... It's amazing.

Zhan Lu was still savoring, and Ming Yijun gently stroked her hair:

"You're really lucky, maybe it's providence too. I originally thought that if I couldn't find the red pepper, I would ask you to find it for you. You have always liked to travel around the world, and you should have been to the production area of Tianhong pepper. It's just that Jun has never paid much attention to these things like diet, and even if he asks him, he probably won't be able to find it. Now you have four flavors of five flavors, and there is not much difference between you and ordinary people. As for the bitter taste, since you said you didn't need it before, then don't think about it for now. After all, I don't want you to suffer. ”

The two men were talking quietly, and before they knew it, the boat had already docked. For the sake of the red pepper sauce, Ming Yijun overpaid the boat fare. At this time, the sun was already setting in the west, and the two stood in the harbor, watching a round of red sun set over the distant mountainside, and a bright moon rose on the east sea, casting a silver glow on the calm sea.

The fishing boats came back one after another, and the harbor resounded with fishermen's songs and strange harmonies.

Zhan Lu was fascinated by this beautiful scenery, but Ming Yijun was looking at her.

His eyes softened, as if he was stroking her hair with his gaze:

"Tomorrow morning...... Come and see the sunrise. ”
