Chapter 374
In addition to preparing for battles at sea, the defense of the Datang frontier also needs to be added, so as not to find a breakthrough by the United States, which has been eyeing the enemy.
And Xingzhe and General Yu Zhan are the main persons in charge of military power, and in addition to a large amount of military power in their hands, they also have very strong military capabilities.
Therefore, the new emperor Qin Yu unsurprisingly summoned Xingzhe and the general Yu Zhan, and asked the two of them to discuss the matter of strengthening the border defense with other generals and generals.
Although this increased Xingzhe's workload, it also provided Xingzhe with some time so that Xingzhe could continue to train his special operations team.
In order to increase the portability of the special combat team during combat, Xingzhe removed the shields from the hands of the soldiers of the pro-guard team and replaced them with ceramic body armor.
The material of this kind of body armor is not particularly difficult to find, and the production process does not require a particularly high level of machinery, Datang's craftsmen are very good, and it will become a very simple thing to hand over to them.
Moreover, although the ceramic pieces are not invited, the weight is not particularly large, and it is very easy for these soldiers who wear armor all year round and carry weapons and luggage to fully adapt.
The battleship sailed on the sea, riding the wind and waves, like a bamboo, the fleet of the Tang Dynasty has been sailing on the sea for nearly four days, and the navigator told Xingzhe and the general Yu Zhan that if nothing else, they will be able to exchange fire with the Neon Kingdom today.
The soldiers are gearing up one by one, for this day, they have been preparing for so long, and today they can finally fight with the Neon Country with real guns.
The Neon Nation kept harassing them in the waters of the Tang Dynasty, not only Xingzhe was disgusted with them, but these Tang soldiers who often fought with the Neon Navy's fleet were eager to draw their tendons, pick their skins, drink their blood, and eat their flesh.
"General, the island is found ahead!"
The soldier in charge of the reconnaissance suddenly shouted, and when the navigator heard it, he immediately climbed to a high place, looked in the direction the scout was pointing, and nodded repeatedly.
"General, that's the island of the Neon Nation, and there is the Navy of the Neon Nation patrolling the island."
After the navigator came down, he gave the report of what he saw to the generals Yu Zhan and Xingzhe.
"Little Brother Xingzhe, do you have any plans?"
General Yu Zhan looked at Xingzhe thoughtfully, he didn't know what Xingzhe was thinking again, but looking at Xingzhe's serious expression, it should be a very important thing.
However, Seongzhe was really thinking about something very important, he was wondering if this neon country was the same country as the original world, and if so, was there any sushi on the island?
The general Yu Zhan and the soldiers were very nervous, thinking about how to make a quick decision, but Xingzhe was not nervous at all, he was very relaxed, and his mind was full of sushi.
Xingzhe also ate sushi once, and that was in the original world, an authentic Japanese sushi restaurant owned by a Japanese. As an otaku, it is inevitable that Xingzhe will become interested in sushi, after all, sushi is a frequent guest in various anime.
Sushi is one of the traditional Japanese cuisines, and the main ingredient is rice seasoned with sushi vinegar to maintain human body temperature, and it is loved by Japanese people because of its delicious taste.
While the earliest sushi in Japan was a small dish made with rice, raw fish, and sauce that could be eaten in one bite, there are many types of sushi today, and you can put a lot of things in it, but it must be eaten in one bite. Japanese sushi is already recorded in the Heian period code "Enki Shiki", which was completed in 927 AD. At that time, sushi referred to a way of preserving fish.
Salt the fish and press it with a weight to allow it to ferment naturally. When it has a sour taste, it can be eaten, and its taste is very good, that is, it is a bit like Chinese stinky tofu, which smells particularly bad, but tastes very good. This method originated in Japan itself.
However, this method was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and soon developed into a way of simply soaking fish in vinegar. Sushi has been developed to refer to any food that has been mixed with vinegar and added with other fillings. In addition to "nigiri", there are also "maki sushi" and "box sushi" in popular Japanese sushi.
"Sushi" is made up of rice, cucumbers, tuna, eggs, and pickled radishes wrapped in seaweed, and can be divided into large rolls and thin rolls, that is, large and small. Sushi rolls are usually 90 grams of rice, cooked into rice about 200 grams, wrapped in nori and eaten. Sometimes thin scrambled egg skin can also be used instead of seaweed. Sushi rolls wrapped in a whole sheet of nori are called "Taimaki", and those wrapped in only half a sheet are called "thin rolls". Sushi rolls are usually filled with boiled sweet cold days, cucumbers, sausages, mushrooms, scrambled egg skins, fish floss or duck parsley.
Sushi in Japan is mainly made and sold by specialized sushi restaurants. Chefs dressed in white overalls cut the peeled fish into slices and stack them on equal-width pieces of rice at the request of diners.
This is the reason why Japanese cuisine is becoming popular all over the world and is becoming more and more popular. Among them, sushi is the ultimate expression of the philosophy of simplicity in this cuisine.
There are two major schools of sushi in Japan: first, Edo pie, nigiri sushi; Second, Kansai pie, box sushi (the most famous in Osaka), in contrast, nigiri sushi is more favored by everyone. Since no molds are used, it is all hand-made by the sushi chef, which not only ensures that the grains of the rice are rounded, but also effectively maintains the mellow flavor of the rice.
Among them, "nigiri sushi" should be considered a very unique one in the entire culinary field. The most mainstream and the most elaborate is "nigiri sushi". Different fish materials, knife techniques, thickness, and even seasoning methods are different. Just as the order of tasting must be champagne, white wine, red wine, dessert wine or spirits, there is also a particular order of eating sushi.
Just like in the documentary "The God of Sushi", the quality of nigiri sushi is all in the hands of the master. The nigiri sushi made by Jiro Ono has the ingredients on it that can be marinated or baked by the master for a fraction of a second, and the thickness of the slices can be accurate to millimeters. It is this spirit of craftsmanship that has shaped the unshakable status of nigiri sushi.
Sushi is expensive and cheap, and Seongzhe definitely eats cheap. In fact, in an authentic Japanese sushi restaurant, even if it is cheap, it is not much different from the expensive one, except that the expensive one is fresher, looks more beautiful, and the selected ingredients are more fine, and the taste will be better than the cheap one.
But Xingzhe is not a gourmet, for a child who grew up eating instant noodles, the taste is insignificant at all, as long as it is delicious.
