519. East meets West
Throughout Northern Europe, there is nothing to praise about the Icelandic diet, which excels in dark cuisine.
However, Iceland has a long coastline and abundant fishery resources, producing a variety of fish such as salmon, sea bass, herring, bonito, cod, shrimp, crabs and mussels.
Christmas Eve is mostly traditional food, tonight because of the two customers to pick up the wind and wash the dust, Chen Song chose a lot of seafood, Tao Yao said that Wang Xiaohui and his wife's hometown are in the northwest, they are more curious about seafood.
As a result, king crabs with a basin size, lobsters as long as an arm, and oysters larger than a palm, Chen Song's selection is a relatively rare ice water seafood in China.
He asked Rhine to buy geothermal roasted rye bread, and after the bread was bought back, he divided it between the two of them first, and said, "This is a special delicacy in Liuying Town, you can eat a little first." ”
The freshly baked bread was fluffy and soft, sweet and delicious, Du Yihan nodded again and again, and then felt something touch her arm, she turned her head and saw Brother Bai sitting behind her and gently pulling her arm with his paws.
Du Yihan divided the bread into two portions and gave it to Brother Bai, who closed his mouth and closed his mouth, and then continued to ask for it.
"No more. Du Yihan ate his piece in three or two bites and spread out his hand to show it.
There is no need for her to say, seeing that she eats the last bread, Brother Bai left, and it continued to pull Wang Xiaohui.
Wang Xiaohui gave him all the bread very unplanted, he was afraid of these beasts, unlike Du Yihan, who could treat Brother Bai as a baby.
After eating, Brother Bai continued to look for Du Yihan, it pointed to a bag of breadcrumbs on the stove and muttered at her, Chen Song saw it and took a knife from the stove and put it on its neck and asked, "Do you want this?"
Brother Bai patted his ass and left.
Breadcrumbs are used to fry pork cutlets, and the breaded pork chops quickly turn golden brown after being put into boiling oil, which is a Polish dish called Polish pork cutlet, and the elderly and children love to eat it.
Mr. Bruce prepares some Icelandic pork jelly during the day, and Chen Song thinks it is also a dark dish, which is to mix pork strips with a large amount of minced pork and onions, and then season them with salt, pepper and various spices, and finally cook them in a pressure cooker, cook them and freeze them.
Mrs. Emma saw that the young couple could only stay by and could not participate, so she asked, "What will you do?"
Du Yihan said: "I basically know Chinese food, my husband, hehe, he can wash the dishes." ”
Wang Xiaohui argued: "Who said that?"
"You want to say you also cook instant noodles and scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"
"No, I can make dumplings. Wang Xiaohui said.
LADY EMMA NODDED AND SAID, "IS THE DUMPLING RIGHT?PIEROGI? THAT'S GREAT, JUST IN TIME I'M GOING TO MAKE A RUTHENIAN DUMPLING." ”
She took out the dumpling wrapper, and then Wang Xiaohui was stunned: "This is the bun wrapper, right?"
The wrappers are thin and large, and this Ruthenian dumpling is stuffed with cheese, mashed potatoes and fried onions, and the shape is a bit like a Qilu vegetable box.
There are more people tonight than last night, three people were added in one day, and the old lady likes to be crowded, so she deliberately made a soup that she doesn't usually do, UEEK.
This soup is cooked with rye flour and mushrooms, and it is simple to make, but with a side dish with complex side dishes, the ingredients are potatoes, sausage slices and hard-boiled eggs, and it looks tall when it is done anyway.
Eating happily, Chen Song asked the two, "You don't have to return until after New Year's Day, right?"
"Well, we want to see how Iceland celebrates the New Year. Wang Xiaohui said.
Chen Song asked, "Then how are you going to spend these few days? This time is not short, but the daylight hours in Iceland are too short now, so it is not very long, which is not easy to arrange......
"Wow, there's an aurora!" Du Yihan suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
A layer of turquoise appeared on the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Chen Song looked out, and a twisted green ribbon appeared in the sky, which was the first aurora after winter.
What is surprising is that the aurora level in the southern area is relatively low, and many need to work hard to see the aurora color, but this time there is a rare high-grade aurora, Chen Song has been in Iceland for almost a year, and this is the second time I have seen it.
So he joked, "It seems that newlyweds are popular, and Iceland is welcoming you with the warm aurora borealis." ”
The high-grade aurora lasted for a short time, and the turquoise color in the night sky dissipated after about a few minutes.
Du Yihan sighed softly: "It's so beautiful, I have to tell Xiaoxiao quickly, she didn't see the aurora last time, I have to make her envious and jealous." ”
Wang Xiaohui was very self-contained, he first said to Chen Song: "I'm sorry Brother Chen, my daughter-in-law interrupted you just now, you asked us to arrange it, right? We are mainly resting this time, so go around the town, soak in the hot springs, take a look around your ranch, and it would be better if you could go to the sea." ”
Chen Song said: "It's no problem to go to sea, we have boats to go to sea every day in winter, in fact, I also have a boat, but it's a fishing boat, it's a bit too big, it's not suitable for us to go to sea." ”
The money paid by the two is not enough to go to sea.
Hearing that he still has a boat, the two of them admired it even more: "Brother Chen, you are really rich, I have seen a lot of local tyrants, but it still can't compare to you here." ”
Chen Song smiled and said, "What are you doing? A fishing boat, second-hand." ”
Later, Terry Kron told him that it was hard to say how many hands the fishing boat was, but it was certainly not second-hand when it came to him, because Trickron was at least second-hand......
After Christmas dinner, Goble and Rhine took the two to the bar to play.
Rhine said tactfully: "Actually, we don't have to go to the bar, we had a great time last night, right? I mean, we have an extra poet today, and we can add a poetry recitation, wouldn't that be happier than last night?"
"I like poetry a lot, but reading is not my forte," Shoko said. ”
Chen Song waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the bar and play, I won't listen to you sing tonight." ”
Mostly he didn't bring earplugs.
Goble invited him to go to the bar with him, and Chen Song waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, I'm not very keen on too lively environments, I want to be quiet." ”
The Bruces are going to the bar tonight, and they participate in the Christmas night organized by the bar every Christmas, which has become a tradition and a ritual in life.
Led by Bruce, who understands Chinese and is highly respected in the town, Chen Song was relieved, and Angelina saw that he did not go and stayed in the manor, saying: "Just use tonight's time to plan the customer's itinerary in the next few days." ”
Chen Song said in surprise: "Didn't they make their own plans?"
Angelina shrugged, "But we can't sit idly by, they're here to travel, and we have to offer at least a few interesting activities." ”
