Chapter 531: Operation Red Sea XIX
The air in the room was suddenly silent, Fu Hua stopped scooping up the hand of the bird's nest and looked at Jiang Yunfeng with a probing gaze, raised his eyebrows and handed over a reassuring look, Jiang Yunfeng coughed, cleared his throat and said, "Bird's nest is a precious Chinese medicinal material, which is flat and sweet, and has the effect of nourishing yin and moisturizing dryness, nourishing qi and replenishing the middle... ”
"Shut up!! I didn't ask you!! Suspicious, Erina Nagi stopped the gushing Jiang Yunfeng with an indifferent gaze and a cold tone, the experience of dinner is still vivid, and now the cup of jelly-like object in his hand is very likely to belong to the same category as the bee chrysalis.
Erina Nagikiri, who had made up her mind, looked at Fu Hua and wanted to use Fu Hua's guilt in her heart to make her tell the truth, "Classmate Fu Hua, is this bird's nest the same type of ingredient as the bee chrysalis?" ”
According to Erina Nagikiri's understanding of Fu Hua, I thought that Fu Hua, who was serious, rigid and upright, would nod and admit it, but Fu Hua shook his head and replied in a resolute tone, "No!" In the classification of ingredients in Chinese food culture, bee pupae belong to the treasures of game. But it is not enough to qualify compared to bird's nest because bird's nest is classified as one of the highest grade 'Eight Treasures'. ”
"Hachizhen? However, each dynasty has a different definition of Bazhen, and I remember that I have never seen bird's nest in the ancient books I have read. Erina Nagiri, who has flipped through several essays on ancient Chinese cuisine, continues to raise doubts.
The corners of Fu Hua's mouth rose slightly, revealing a knowledgeable smile, and drove Jiang Yunfeng to make room for him to sit down, and then held his glasses and began to make up for Erina Nagikiri, "Miss Nagi Cut, you estimate that you are reading a relatively old literature, bird's nest was entered into people's tables during the Ming Dynasty, and was included in his book "Suiyuan Food List" by the great gourmand Yuan Mei of the Qing Dynasty, and it was enshrined as eight treasures together with sea cucumbers, shark fins, fish crisps, fish maw, bear paws, deer tendons, and toads. ”
"Fu Hua has explained so much or still hasn't made it clear, what is this bird's nest?" Erina Nagikiri, who was about to be dizzy by a serious Fu Hua, pointed out the key to the problem.
"Ahem, ahem, that's literal. It is a precious ingredient obtained by picking swiftlets to build their nests on the cliffs through a tedious extraction process, and the market price is very expensive, and many times it is priceless. Fu Hua organized her words, trying not to irritate Erina's tense nerves.
"Since it's the nest of swiftlets, it should be dominated by plants and trees, why is it cooked in a transparent gelatinous form, and there is a faint egg white smell?" Erina Nagi scooped up a spoonful of trembling bird's nest, touched it with her fingers, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it.
Fu Hua, who had just swallowed the bird's nest, was almost choked, and he closed his eyes and patted his already barren chest to avoid swallowing the bird's nest smoothly. After breathing a sigh of relief, he continued to organize the language to explain the composition of bird's nest to Erina Nagikiri, but unfortunately Fu Hua's nonsense was not as powerful as Jiang Yunfeng's, which made Erina's doubts increase instead of decreasing. Seeing that he was about to be exposed, Fu Hua quietly slapped Jiang Yunfeng with an elbow, meaning that he should hurry up and save the scene.
"Swiftlets like to nest in steep places such as cliffs, and use these hazards to defend themselves against threats, so their nests are made of different materials than other birds. The other birds are made of grass and trees, and the canary is made of a kind of slime, which is plucked from the cliffs and then rinsed in a series of rinses, and of course, it is carefully cooked by my wonderful hand to get this nourishing cup in your hand. ”
Jiang Yunfeng is worthy of being a master of blind breaking, and he miraculously resolved Erina's worries, and the elegant taste of the stewed Sydney bird's nest is also very favorable. Erina Nagikiri, who was relieved, enjoyed the bird's nest with peace of mind, and guessed based on the local environment of Mandalay, "The swiftlet should be collecting the pectin liquid secreted by the trees, after all, there are many trees near Mandalay that are rich in pectin." ”
"There, in fact, it's the swiftlet's own saliva." After slackening, Jiang Yunfeng couldn't control his broken mouth that didn't go through his brain, and he leaked all the bottom at once.
The air in the room fell into an eerie silence again, Fu Hua covered his face and sighed silently, the scene that he barely came back from scratching his mouth just now was caused by Jiang Yunfeng's thorough nonsense.
Sure enough, the pig teammates can't take it!
Thirty-six strategies, go for the best policy! Fu Hua decisively left the room with his pear cup, leaving Jiang Yunfeng alone to bear the anger that Erina Nagi had accumulated by being deceived twice in a row.
"That.... In fact, you don't have to worry about the fact that bird's nest is actually swiftlet saliva, I think that the food culture inherited by my Greater China for thousands of years can be juxtaposed with those precious ingredients, which shows the cherishing and nourishing effect of bird's nest itself. The quiet and oppressive atmosphere oppressed Jiang Yunfeng a little breathlessly, but despite this, he still tried his best to ease the atmosphere.
It's a pity that even if he is clever and tonguey, it is impossible to soothe the anger accumulated in Erina Nagikiri's chest, the metal spoon held tightly in the jade hand is about to be pinched and deformed, and Erina Nagikiri, who has a clear expression covering the upper half of her face with her bangs, slowly got out of bed, and walked towards Jiang Yunfeng step by step with bare feet.
Every step taken by Erina Nagi made Jiang Yunfeng frightened, and instinctively slowly retreated while begging for mercy, "Miss, if you have something to discuss, let's not be rude?" ”
"Jiang Yunfeng, you beast! Devilish beasts! It's bugs and saliva again... Lie to me... Go to hell! Bastard!!! Successfully forcing Jiang Yunfeng out of the room, Erina Nagi suddenly raised her head, tears of anger in her apricot eyes and smashed the spoon in her hand and the bird's nest that was still half left at him, and then slammed the door shut.
Jiang Yunfeng deftly avoided the things he had given and knocked on the door again to explain, but there was no response in the room. I had no choice but to get cleaning tools to clean up the broken pear cups and the juice that was wandering everywhere, the soup was very sugary, and if it was not cleaned up in time, it would attract ants.
"It's a miracle that you can still come out in one piece!" Fu Hua, who was hidden in the stairwell, poked out his little head.
"Yes, but the squad leader, you slipped away so fast, obviously we are still accomplices, why should I be left alone?" Jiang Yunfeng, who wiped the wall with a rag, complained without looking back.
Fu Hua expressed his apologies for betraying his teammates in an extremely perfunctory manner, sitting on the steps and sighing, "Obviously they all belong to Asia, and they are also close neighbors with a strip of water." Why can't you accept bird's nest as a nourishing product? ”
"Cultural differences, after the Meiji Restoration, Japan ****, of course, also includes ideas. In addition, the eldest lady grew up under the education of European-style aristocracy since she was a child, and it is normal that she can't accept it. The rag was thrown into the bucket, and Jiang Yunfeng asked Fu Hua to put the pear cup that had only been dug into a thin empty shell into a garbage bag, and take it downstairs along with the cleaning tools.
"By the way, is there still a blood bird's nest? When Ivia saw her mother, I wanted to stew her a little to replenish her body. Fu Hua, who stood up and patted his buttocks, called Jiang Yunfeng, who was downstairs.
"There are two more, I'll give them to you later."
