Chapter 143: The Source of Spicy Taste Birds don't step on it
"That's it, I said!"
Mo Lan looked at the red fruit with a look of surprise, and said happily: "This thing is good, and the taste is indeed unique!" ”
"Looks like Miss Moran knows this."
Jin Yu sighed secretly in her heart, there is really nothing Mo Lan doesn't know!
"Our Yan clan calls this thing Dogwood, it is the ancestor of spicy seasoning, but it is more complicated to use this thing to make spicy sauce. By the way, what do you call it? ”
Mo Lan picked up a dogwood fruit and found that its flesh was still elastic, it seems that this snow ape clan is also a master of storing food!
"My tribe called it the bird not to step on it, because there are so many barbs on the branches of this tree that the bird cannot stand on the branches, so the people gave it this name. However, the name of your Yan clan's dogwood is better. ”
Jinyu has a great interest in the Yan clan to which Mo Lan belongs. How powerful is the Yan Clan? can create a character like Mo Lan?
Mo Lan smiled and nodded, "That's right!" However, our Yan clan also has a spicy seasoning, which is even better than this dogwood! ”
"Oh? What could be better than that? What is that? ”
When Jinyu heard this, a stronger interest suddenly rose.
"That kind of spice is called chili, but chili peppers are even more difficult to find than dogwood, and I'm afraid you can't find it in the entire Kumo Snow Field!"
Mo Lan's answer disappointed Jinyu for a while, he thought that he could exchange something better with the Flame Wolf Clan, but it seemed that it would not work.
It is indeed very cumbersome to make chili oil juice with this bird's step. The fruit needs to be stored in the shade in advance, and after removing the sunspots during production, it is mashed to extract the juice, and it takes a day to make it alone.
He had been looking for a spicy spice that he could use directly after picking, but unfortunately he couldn't find it. It's a shame that I can't get one now, but I can't get it.
Seeing Jinyu's face full of pity, Mo Lan rolled her eyes and smiled: "Actually, it's not impossible to get chili peppers, there is no Kumo Snow Plain, but there is no outside the Kumo Snow Field!"
I heard Han Che say that the territory outside the Kumo Snow Field is vast, and if the Jinyu Patriarch wants chili peppers, then we can work together to leave here and go outside to find a new civilization. ”
Jinyu didn't say anything when he heard this, just frowned and pondered for a while before he said: "It's easy to leave the Kumo Snow Plain, but it's not easy to find a foothold outside, so we'll talk about this later." ”
Mo Lan also saw that Jinyu seemed to have some scruples about leaving the Kumo Snow Plain, so she didn't continue the topic.
She turned to look at the three of Han Che Chords and smiled, "You guys can try it too!" The food of the snow ape clan is a very unique and spicy food, but when eating, you should be careful that the taste is a bit choking, and some people may not be able to adapt to it for a while. ”
Han Che nodded, took a pointed spoon, forked a small piece of sheep's horn into his mouth, and chewed it carefully.
After a while, he looked up at Mo Lan and said, "This taste is indeed a bit unique, it seems to have a feeling of numbness, a feeling of heat, and a slight pain." ”
Mo Lan clapped her hands and smiled: "That's right! In fact, this spicy is not a taste, but a pain. All spicy foods are indispensable for a substance called capsaicin, which is the active ingredient in chili peppers, and it is because of this that your tongue will experience the hot and spicy sensation of fire.
Spiciness is produced by the capsaicin in spicy foods, which stimulates our capsaicin receptors, which are very important receptors that can produce a burning sensation when we are exposed to temperatures above 43 degrees.
When capsaicin stimulates the pain receptors in our tongue, it sends a pain alarm to the brain, and when the temperature of the tongue rises, sensory organs throughout the body receive pain signals. And then, it's the spicy taste we feel! ”
"Hot, numb and painful? Can this also be called food? ”
Lan Qiao was immediately curious when he heard this, picked up the pointed spoon and couldn't wait to fork a large piece of sheep's horn and put it in his mouth. But as soon as I ate two bites, I was choked by the spicy breath and my face was flushed, and I finally couldn't hold it back for a long time, and coughed violently!
"Ahem, ahem! Ahem......"
"Drink fruit tea, drink fruit tea quickly!"
Seeing Lan Qiao's appearance, Mo Lan hurriedly reminded with a smile.
Lan Qiao hurriedly picked up the fruit tea and drank a big bowl in one go, which diluted the spiciness.
Harriet and a few other onlookers covered their mouths and snickered, and Harrie thoughtfully stepped forward and poured a bowl of fruit tea for Lan Qiao.
And in just a moment, Lan Qiao's face has already been burned into a monkey's ass!
"Poof!"
Mo Lan smiled and leaned back, pointed at Lan Qiao and said, "Call you greedy!" Do you think you can eat all the flavors? ”
"I'll know now! This taste is really good! Hey, Miss Mo Lan, why I ate this spicy taste, and suddenly remembered Zhan Hong! ”
Lan Qiao rubbed his hot cheeks and couldn't help but take another big sip of fruit tea.
Mo Lan nodded and said, "Hmm! I think the big stupid cow must like the taste! That guy belongs to the kind of person who is rougher, this spicy taste has a fierce edge, and it is the most suitable for him! ”
"Yes, yes, yes! That's right! ”
Lan Qiao nodded, what Mo Lan said was right, Zhan Hong's guy likes strong flavors, and it was because he really coveted the salty food of the Snow Wolf Clan that he easily agreed to Xue Shen's request and came back in exchange for a bag of salt.
At this time, Lan Qiao saw that the strings on the side had not moved their chopsticks for a long time, and asked.
"Strings, why don't you taste it?"
"The string is a fairy body, and it does not eat the fireworks of the world. He definitely doesn't like something like this! ”
Mo Lan said with a look of understanding deliberately.
"The Jinyu patriarch is gracious, so naturally he can't live up to it."
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Xian immediately reached out and picked up her chopsticks, pinched a small piece of sheep's horn and put it in her mouth, that elegant posture, like a British nobleman.
Mo Lan rolled her eyes, this guy, if she didn't say that, it is estimated that he would not move the chopsticks!
Jin Yu saw that Mo Lan and the others were able to accept this spicy food, so he raised his finger and pointed to the barbecue again: "This bowl of barbecue is also filled with spicy sauce, let's try it and see how it tastes?" ”
When several people listened, they all picked up their own cutlery forks and took barbecue pieces to taste, this time Lan Qiao learned to be obedient, poked the smallest piece with a pointed chopstick and put it in his mouth, and also picked up the fruit tea in advance with his left hand, ready to quickly fill the fruit tea if it was still so spicy.
However, it may be that the meat is not easy to taste, and the spicy taste of this barbecue is much lighter than that of the green vegetables!
Not only that, but the slightly spicy meat aroma is particularly delicious, at least much better than the meat pieces that are simply grilled!
After eating, there was a little bit of hot numbness in the back of his mouth, which brought him a strange taste experience.
"Well, this piece of barbecue is delicious! It's more to my taste! ”
Lan Qiao ate it bite, poked three pieces in a row, and praised it while eating.
Mo Lan smiled: "That's because the chili oil juice is just right, so you can taste both the meat and the spicy taste, and you won't choke."
In fact, the bitterness and spiciness, among the five flavors, should not be eaten too much! The other flavors are fine, but no matter which flavor you have, too heavy will make us feel uncomfortable! Mix like this in the right amount, that's the best! ”
"Five flavors? I don't know what the five flavors you call are the five flavors? ”
When Jinyu heard this, her curiosity immediately rose again.
And Han Che, Xian, and even Lan Qiao, who was eating Zhengxiang, couldn't help but raise their heads to look at Mo Lan, they also wanted to know, because Mo Lan had never seriously introduced it to them about the taste!
