192 Dancing Partner
"Hey, what is this?"
A curious inquiry sounded in his ears, as if he was talking to himself, but Hodden's ears caught the question, and his eyes were projected, and he subconsciously explained, "That's a mackerel." A deep-sea fish. β
"Because I live in the deep sea, the fat is very fat, the meat is unusually full, and there is a faint taste of oil, but it will not be greasy, and the seafood is still fresh and refreshing. After entering the mouth, you can feel a dense chewiness, but it melts between your lips and teeth, and you can deeply feel the taste of the sea churning in your mouth. β
"The taste was absolutely unforgettable. β
"However, no one has yet been able to find a better way to cook it, and it is still the same way that fishermen eat raw at the dock or on the boat, which is 'sashimi', which is cut directly into slices and sent to the mouth, ensuring that the tip of the tongue can taste fresh and vigorous. β
In addition, it is precisely because of this bold way of eating that many people dare not try it. Not to mention the aristocratic lords, even the common people in the lower city, many people did not dare to try, and always felt that Ru Mao's blood drinking was too cruel. β
The information at his fingertips was eloquent, and the other party just said a word to himself, and Holden had already written a paper in a hurry.
"Wow!"
After a sigh, there was a "pop" clapping sound, like a seal clapping his hands, which made Hoden turn his head, and then saw a familiar face:
The words of the entrance test are the nagging girl Ariel Catullus.
Tonight, Ariel is still dressed as a boy, with a suit and a hat, simple but in place - although the suit is a little old, it is still chic and handsome under the dim light, and the unpowdered face also has a faint sassy temperament.
"So, catch this fish...... Uh, Maharaja, isn't it very difficult?" Ariel stared at Hodden with curiosity in her eyes.
Hoden nodded in affirmation, "Indeed." All fishermen must have some ability, preferably psionics, because the Enlightened cannot harness the power of their resistance and are prone to accidents. β
"Hmm......" Ariel dragged out the end meaningfully, "So, after catching it, it doesn't need much processing, and it can be eaten directly?"
"If it's a psyker, it's not difficult to deal with it simply with the thunder element and the light elementβyou should ask the professional fisherman for the specific procedure, but ...... Yes, it doesn't take much processing. Hoden patiently explained.
A smile appeared in Ariel's eyes, "So, it's not that you don't like to talk, it's that you haven't encountered your favorite topic." He said a word, and then winked at Holden, and without waiting for Holden to respond, he continued, "You say, can this fish sell for a lot of money?"
"......" Hoden blinked: why should the food be sold for money?
Ariel rubbed her little hands, "I thought that if I could work with the fishermen to get a batch of mahi mahi - the market price should not be high at this time anyway, and then I would make a special trip to the banquet or restaurant in Uptown to sell it and show them how to eat it, and they would definitely buy it." β
"Such a novelty is especially fond of the nobles. I just hadn't tried it before, so I thought it was terrible, but as long as I showed it in front of them, they were able to clear up the misunderstanding. β
Ariel's thoughts spun fast, one second she was talking about the nobles, and the next second she had already jumped to Tuno and the royal family.
"I think you can even push it towards a court dinner, you know, rare things are precious. As long as it is approved by the royal family, it will be popular throughout the empire. It's a business that can make a lot of money!"
As she spoke, Ariel also made a few expressions at Holden, which was really funny.
Hodden paused for a moment, did not respond, but silently stabbed a piece of mahi on his plate with his fork, stuffed it into his mouth, and enjoyed the pleasure of the soft and fat flesh exploding between his lips and teeth, the feeling of happiness was indescribable and irreplaceable-
It's much better than salmon or something, it doesn't need any seasonings, it doesn't need any side dishes, just a piece of fish is enough.
Ariel also stuffed a piece into her mouth in the same way, without the slightest hint of timidity or fear, and chewed along with Hoden.
But Ariel looked at Howlen with a confused expression, as if to say, "Do I eat the same thing as you?" Why don't I feel anything? Are you sure what you just said is true? Or are you fooling me?
After a moment of silence, Ariel couldn't find the answer, so she put down her plate, and a probe cut in front of Horden, forcing a face-to-eye contact, "Would you like to dance with me?"
"......" Hoden's eyes showed confusion, but he still chewed and swallowed the food slowly, and then asked, "Why so suddenly?"
"Because you look like you're single and you're not invited." So, I invited you to dance, and then you told me more about the Tahi, and I felt like it was a fair deal. Her eyes widened and she looked at Howlen excitedly, as if she had come up with a brilliant idea, "How? What do you think?"
Holden raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes looked up and down at Ariel's men's dress, as if he was being picky.
Ariel immediately realized her problem, and when she was annoyed, Horden's words rang in her ears, "Okay, so be it." β
"Really?" Ariel immediately jumped on the spot, clapping her hands to express her excitement, "Then hurry up, let's start now." "It's like a mission, lest a little later the cooked duck will fly.
Holden laughed dumbly.
As Hodden was about to put down his plate, a terrible scream pierced the sky, breaking the harmony of the clothes and sideburns, and the crowd immediately became bustling and chaotic, and all eyes were cast in the direction of the source of the sound, and fear and anxiety began to spread.
In the line of sight, under the dim light, you can see the figure with a large area of blood stained on the evening dress stumbling in, his hands spread out like this, the bright red blood is dripping, and the face distorted by fear cannot close his jaw.
Although I couldn't see my face or expression clearly, I could still feel the fear that came over my face.
Finally, someone next to him hurriedly greeted him and asked about the situation repeatedly.
The girl just shook her head continuously, and kept shaking her head, "No, no, no, no, no." Behind the series of almost murmuring denials, the godless eyes slowly focused, as if they had only come back to their senses a little at this time, "It's not me, it's not me, it's Greta." It's all Gretta's. She's dead. Greta is dead. β
After a series of muttering, she finally came to her senses and screamed heartbreakingly, "Greta is dead!"
