Chapter 184: Milk Hunting Journey. [It's the last day, ask for a monthly pass]
"Thank you." Zhang Feng thanked him politely.
The boss smiled and nodded, and handed Zhang Feng an English version of the paper introducing frankincense, and there was another thing on the back - the introduction of milk.
Frankincense is a resin secreted from a peculiar tree, and the frankincense tree is all natural and wild.
The more arid and barren the natural conditions, the more suitable for the growth of frankincense trees.
The Negd Plateau in southern Oman fulfills the tree's quirky requirements: rough limestone soil, scorching heat, and the moisture of early morning dew. The world's finest frankincense, known as "silver incense", is produced in the Negde Plateau.
Silver incense, on the other hand, can improve sleep and is suitable for people who sleep less, helping them to provide sleep quality.
"I'll buy some for Lao Xu and send them back." Zhang Feng thought so and continued to look at the card introducing frankincense.
In 450 B.C., the famous Greek historian Herodotus, in his famous work "History", mentioned frankincense: "The whole country wafts everywhere, and exudes a wonderful sweet fragrance." "Frankincense is also known by many aliases, such as "pearl of the desert", "teardrop of God", "white gold", and many more.
In ancient times, frankincense was once worth as much as gold and has always been one of the symbols of power and wealth of rulers.
This aromatic resin was in high demand in ancient times and was widely used in religious sacrifices, funeral ceremonies, and people's daily celebrations. The ancients believed that the smoke of frankincense would bring their prayers to heaven, so burning incense was indispensable for any religious ceremony.
……
"Sure enough, this movement is related to religion everywhere." Zhang Feng couldn't help but shake his head, faith, to put it mildly, is called spiritual pursuit, and a deeper understanding is spiritual quality.
After walking around for a while, I found a magnificent frankincense shop, and since I knew about the silver incense, I naturally wanted to ask.
"Boss, is there any silver incense?"
Zhang Feng was very direct, but the boss who asked a question was stunned, and after a few seconds, he smiled and waved a young man about his age.
"Hello sir, my father doesn't understand English, what do you need?" The young man asked.
"I heard that there is a silver incense and I want to buy some." ZHANG Fengdao,
When the young man heard Yinxiang, he was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to explain Zhang Feng's intention to his father, but the middle-aged man shook his head and signaled no.
"My father said that the silver incense is too precious for us to have here, and that you better go to the place of origin, which is the city near the Negde plateau, and that there is a new silver incense in the finished product this season." Youth Road.
Zhang Feng nodded, and asked resignedly: "Thank you, how to get to this handmade milk shop?" ”
"The end of the east."
"Okay, thanks."
Zhang Feng immediately left the frankincense shop, and when Zhang Feng left, the young man asked, "Father, I remember that there was a batch of silver incense at home, right?" ”
"It's for the guests, you can't sell it, go do your thing."
"Yes."
This conversation between the Arab father and son shows how precious this silver incense is, and it also indicates that Zhang Feng searched for half a month in Negde and spent 100,000 riyals to buy 100 grams of silver incense.
Before I got to the east, I asked about the unique aroma of dairy products.
"System, you're looking for milk, right?" Zhang Feng was a little confused by frankincense and milky fragrance now, so he asked.
System: Yes.
"Oh, that's good...... Excuse me, do you offer handmade milk products? Zhang Feng politely said to the old man who was cleaning up the white powder.
The old man glanced up at Zhang Feng, and pointed to a large piece of paper next to him, which was written in English: Our store provides a variety of milk products in hand, and the prices are as follows......
"Hehe, there are so many fruity ones, boss, give me a copy of each." Zhang Feng translated such an Arabic sentence with AAP and handed it to the old man, the old man glanced at Zhang Feng suspiciously, Zhang Feng smiled and knocked down another sentence: I can pay all the fees first.
Zhang Feng thought that the old man would smile when he saw his words, but he was helpless, pointed to a table in the store and motioned for Zhang Feng to wait, and then walked into the house by himself, Zhang Feng was very confused, but he didn't think much about it, and looked at the whole store, there are many tools for making milk products in the store, many of which are made of silver, which are delicate and remind people of various handicrafts in the market.
"The realm of the magic lamp is really exquisite."
After waiting for a while, the old man brought more than a dozen kinds of milky products, and did not ask Zhang Feng for money in a hurry, but continued to be busy with the work at hand after putting it down.
Looking at more than a dozen kinds of milky products in small bowls on the table, I sniffed it gently, the taste was complicated, but there was no disgust because of the smell mixture, the milky products in the bowl were colorful and colorful, some were like yogurt, some were pure jelly, and some were normal milk.
"Hmm...... This is good...... I don't like this...... The taste is a bit strong, this one is ok. ”
After tasting them one by one, Zhang Feng was very disappointed, although some of them made people's taste buds feel a new experience, but the system did not speak, obviously not enough, so he used his mobile phone to translate a sentence: These are not what I want.
Looking at the old man with a serious face, the old man frowned, and looked at Zhang Feng seriously, Zhang Feng also tried his best to keep smiling, waiting for the old man's response.
Maybe Zhang Feng looked pleasing to the eye, maybe Zhang Feng didn't waste the milk products on the table, or maybe it was Zhang Feng's words "It's not what he wanted" that moved the old man, the old man moved to Zhang Feng, and walked towards the inside of the store, Zhang Feng hurriedly followed, no language exchange.
The old man went inside, there were two camels, one big and one small, the small one was unstable, and it was estimated that he was born, the old man signaled Zhang Feng to wait, and then walked to the big camel with a bucket, and after petting the camel, he began to milk the cow.
Zhang Feng watched quietly and quietly admired this art.
Milk extraction, milk washing, milk boiling, milk preparation...... Step by step, Zhang Feng was allowed to watch, and saw that a large bowl of milk finally turned into a small piece of white milk like snow on Mount Everest.
Zhang Feng reverently took the milk cube that was only the size of the white rabbit toffee with both hands, and put it in his mouth under the encouraging eyes of the old man, and the milk cube began to release its taste at the entrance, without a sweet taste, but there was a special taste produced after the decomposition of the protein in the milk.
It's not that the legend has a sour taste or stinky baking, but it's like drinking broth, which makes people instantly full of vitality.
System: Congratulations to the host for completing the milk fragrance task, the daily quota of the hacker will be increased by 40,000, the total quota will be 150,000, and the lottery mechanism will be triggered.
Hearing the word lottery, Zhang Feng opened his face, and before the system said whether it was a lottery now, Zhang Feng had already said that the lottery was held.
……
System: Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Extreme Challenge full class skill.
"Extreme challenge to full vocational skills? What the hell, is it about extreme sports? Zhang Feng is very confused, but the fact is similar to what Zhang Feng thinks, it is a skill related to extreme sports, in his opinion, it is a chicken skill, do you want to open an extreme tour?
Coming back to his senses, the old man looked at Zhang Feng with a puzzled expression, and Zhang Feng hurriedly typed down a sentence: It is the taste I am looking for, I am a chef, and an excellent chef, I want to cook a meal for you, to thank you for making this magical milk for me.
Seeing Zhang Feng's words, the traces left by the years on the old man's face stretched, and he took Zhang Feng's hand and walked towards his kitchen.
