Chapter 539: Food Stalls
Barnacles are also called "horse teeth" because they resemble a horse's teeth. What impressed Ning Xiaoxian the most was that this thing looked like a shell but it was not a shellfish, but an arthropod, and it was the same brother as the shrimp and crab. It's not too much on the reef by the sea, on the bottom of a big ship, or even on a whale. It is too sticky, and if it is too large, it will slow down the ship, so every time a large ship docks, the sailors have to go to the bottom of the boat to clean it.
The food stalls bought them from the sailors at a very low price, about a few cents per ten catties, and then applied skillfully handmade zuò. In the Wenzhou area of China, the treatment of barnacles is "heavy salting, can be stored for a long time", but the food stalls here knock off its hard shell, and then add ginger and onion vinegar, coriander and bell pepper to mix together, the taste is actually a little fresh and sweet, although there is no other seafood to come happily, but chew slowly one bite at a time, crispy, fresh and smack, it is also a good product to accompany wine.
Another cold dish surprised her very much, it turned out to be pickled mud snails. Each piece of this seafood is less than the size of her index finger finger and is usually found along the beach. The city of Turin is adjacent to the Sea of Mirrors, and naturally it is also rich in mud snails. For this region, it is now the late autumn season, the mud snail is also called "Tu Tie", the quality of the peach blossom is the best, but the mud snail after autumn is not as good as the "peach blossom mud snail" in the third lunar month, but it is also large and fat, extremely delicious.
The food stall where she sits is to use salt to draw out the seawater in the snails, and then add ginger, sugar and a high concentration of old white dry to marinate it raw. At this time, spicy foods have become popular in this area, so a little pepper is added to the marinade. The taste is plump, crisp and tender. It is unforgettable, and this thing also has good medicinal value, which can be used for liver and kidney yin deficiency. Men, it's good to eat a little bit, well, everyone understands.
It's a pity that the shell of the snail is thin and fragile, so it takes some effort to eat, and you must "suck" out the snail meat in one bite, otherwise the shell will be broken in the mouth. Baba blah Ning Xiaoxian had never eaten this before, so naturally he would not show his foreign appearance in front of Huang Fuming. She said in her heart, thanks to the fact that she is not a decent lady. Otherwise, in the face of such deliciousness, it is really impossible to swallow.
Huang Fuming saw her eating mud snails, and suddenly laughed.
Ning Xiaoxian raised his chopsticks and knocked him on the head, and said angrily: "What are you laughing at." Ladies at dinner. How dare you make such a noise from the sidelines?"
Huang Fuming grinned: "Last time I brought someone here to eat, Jin Manyan didn't touch this or that, this pickled mud snail is obviously so delicious, she is actually able to look at it and not eat it." ”
She thought about it and covered her mouth and smiled. Jin Manyan is the daughter of the head of Jishilou, and she loves Huang Fuming, and she can't wait to show all the good in his table, how dare she suck and eat mud snails. Destroying his own image? This kid brought her here for dinner, and eighty percent of them were also intent on seeing people make a fool of themselves.
Take advantage of the cook's stir-frying. She asked casually: "Your kung fu is not a miraculous power to wait for leisure, right?"
He smiled and said, "It's not what I learned from my master, but the secret kung fu of my Jinghai Palace." Sister Ning, my father won't let me tell these supernatural secrets, so ......"
"Got it, I don't ask. She wasn't surprised. If the secrets of the Jinghai Palace's Mansion were so easy to come out, even Miluo wouldn't be able to find out. But when Huang Fuming performed the spell just now, she always felt that this child gave her a very strange feeling, as if he was not using spiritual power or demonic power. She had also seen this feeling in the second person, that is, the Yuan Infant Monk who stood up for him when he was chasing Qingji, and the skin painting technique and straw man spell used by this person seemed to be a routine with Huang Fuming's magical powers.
Huang Fuming was curious: "How do you unravel the poison of my little yellow snake?" The really powerful poison is not something that can be solved by ordinary detoxification pills, and you have to prescribe the right medicine like a folk doctor. Like the snake he summoned, it is poisonous and vicious, and any fixed void pill and beneficial poison are completely ineffective.
Ning Xiaoxian dipped in water and drew on the table, with a curved snake body, small wings, and a few small bags bulging out on his head. Huang Fuming recognized that this was the little snake he had summoned. "Look at this image, isn't it obvious? It's still yellow, this is an ancient beast, called a beetle snake, which can fly through the fog, its speed is incomparably fast, and its poison is more vicious. I guess it's not the beetle snake deity you summoned, otherwise such a strange beast is not easy to control, and even these monks and mortals will gnaw it clean when it starts. "Changtian's real body is a giant snake, she loves the house and the black, and she has studied snakes more, so she naturally recognizes this famous beetle snake.
After that, she turned her head and glanced at Huang Fuming, and saw that he was just grinning and laughing, and he didn't answer, and he was such a cunning kid. She speculated that what Huang Fuming summoned was just a phantom or doppelganger of the beetle, and made it attach to the paper to attack others. The ancient beast of the beetle snake is different from the dragon, the dragon can only live in the water and the harm is limited, while the beetle snake goes to the sky and the earth, almost everywhere. However, the temper of the beetle snake is extremely irritable, and the emperor is young, if he can't control the alien beast himself, this beetle snake is afraid that he will stir up the anger of the defense office of Turin City.
He only made a phantom or doppelganger, which was a very clever move. But can the ancient beasts be summoned by any person, if you want to summon them, you also want the beasts to be willing to take care of you! If this kid is older and his cultivation is deeper, what can he summon?
While thinking about it, she continued: "The poison of your beetle snake is not a difficult disease in my eyes, and after knowing its nature, use the fire nature of the Luoxia Dzi to neutralize it, and the solution will be faster." "The small ball on the root of Luoxia Dzi can be used to prepare a fire attack talisman, which can be seen to be fierce in fire, and it is used to deal with the yin poison of the beetle snake, which is to drive the tiger and devour the wolf,-for-tat, and there will be a ruthless confrontation in the patient's body, so the injured person just now suffered a lot.
Huang Fuming also wanted to understand this, and sneered a few times: "He dares to despise my Jinghai Palace, only to suffer so much, it's really cheap for him." ”
Ning Xiao smiled and said nothing, only took a few barnacles and tasted them slowly.
Huang Fuming was so obedient, seeing the noncommittality in her eyes, he couldn't help but whisper: "Sister Ning, don't you like me like this?" The big black and white eyes immediately showed an innocent and pleading look.
She was sure that this kid would also be a master of face-changing in the future.
"Where did I get the power to point fingers at you? Where did I get the power to let others act according to my likes and dislikes?" she snorted lightly, but Huang Fuming saw the sincerity in her smile, "You will definitely have a time when you will turn into a dragon in the future, I want to be a smart person, I shouldn't tell you what to do and what not to do." ”
"But I like people to do things according to my likes and dislikes. Huang Fuming said seriously, "Why should I practice with a pure heart and few desires? I prefer to be rich all over the world and dominate the world, so that everyone in the world will fear me and fear me, otherwise even if my cultivation reaches the realm of eternal immortality, what is the point of being alone?"
This bastard boy, shouldn't he take this as his heart and make a grand wish in the future? Then the demons he will face in this life are a thousand times that of others. Are the other monks stupid, willing to live an ascetic life with a pure heart and few desires? Aren't they all afraid of the wreaking havoc of demons in their hearts? Ning Xiaoxian bit his chopsticks and said in distress, "Where did you get this idea from?"
Huangfu Ming raised his head and said, "My father said, a manly man, act quickly." ”
She chuckled: "It's not impossible for you to climb to the realm of power while eating, drinking, and having fun, but the demons you have to face are too violent." Just the six desires of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it then. ”
Huangfu Ming flattened his mouth and said, "I'm not afraid." Only the greater the power in your hands, the safer you are. ”
Chang Tian also said this. The smile on her face unconsciously narrowed.
Huang Fuming stared at her and asked, "Sister Ning, you said that if I can stand on top of the heads of the people of the world one day, do I have whatever I want?"
She blinked, he asked the wrong question, "Probably...... Well, I never thought about it. "Her biggest dream is to follow Changtian and wait for death. Look at the heart that others have set up so grand, and then look at the heart she set up at the beginning, the ideological consciousness is simply not on the same level!
She's so ashamed.
As he spoke, the cook finally brought the dish to him. Mortals are far away for fear of being affected, and these stall owners have their own good dishes, so they can hurry up while they are in this gap. The mortals in the distance saw that it had been peaceful for a long time, and they began to move back one after another to sit down.
The shed was finally lively again, but everyone consciously stayed away from Huang Fuming and the others.
When you eat food stalls, what you want is an atmosphere. She sighed and reached out to grab a chopstick.
"Guan" means finely cut raw meat, and the so-called "yuji" is actually sashimi, but this thing actually originated in China, not an invention of Fusang as most people think. In the Zhou Dynasty, there were records of eating sashimi (fish tart), and the industrious and brave pre-Qin people knew that raw fish should be seasoned with green onions and mustard sauce.
In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was even a "golden jade", and the "Eight Harmony Stones" section of the "Qi Min Yaoshu" written by Jia Siqian of the Northern Wei Dynasty introduced the practice of Jin Yan in detail. "Ba He" is a condiment, which is made with eight kinds of ingredients: garlic, ginger, orange, white plum, cooked corn, japonica rice, salt, and sauce, and is used to dip fish belly.
But what they eat now is not salmon, of course, but fillets made of sailfish and octopus. In contemporary China, these two kinds of seafood are extremely expensive, especially the swordfish is regarded as one of the finest fish, eating a thin dozen or so slices will cost a hundred yuan of soft sister coins, but in this huge sea of mirrors, it is just the most common fish.
