Chapter 39: Braised Steak? Dark Cuisine!

Probably because of the discussion of the local flavor and food, the host's family, Baron Flintre, was also aroused. He also recalled with great interest the special flavors of various places that he had eaten in his youth, including his studies, military service, and travels, and the banquet came to an end, and the baron was satisfied to announce the highlight of the evening, a rare dish prepared by Mr. Smitz, a famous chef from the Red Ridge Mountains.

The old butler Fersom suddenly led the servants to busily shuttle.

The first is to give everyone a glass of warm water in front of them for them to rinse their mouths, so that they can enjoy the next dish in the best state without disturbance.

Then the servants with shaved shirts and straight backs took away the old cutlery and brought a new one.

At last they held their heads high, and with a little Saxon pride of old Fersom, they served trays one after another, and the thermal cover on them was as bright as a mirror. When a pair of hands with snow-white gloves were so steady that they placed the tray on the table without a hint of trembling, and removed the thermal insulation cover for the guests, the milky white steam rose all at once, and when the steam dissipated, the white bone china soup bowl inside was revealed—white, delicate, and a fine product from Hinterland.

Beneath the milky white steam, there is a bowl of soup that has been stewed very fragrantly. A few stalks of emerald green coriander float in the bright red and rich soup in the soup bowl, and two or three slices of shiitake mushrooms cut from the center and thinly sliced salted ham are dotted in between, and the pleasant color and mellow aroma alone make people swallow their mouths; The main dish reclining in the soup is even more eye-catching for Jin Shaolan, a modern person, with golden and translucent filaments neatly stacked in a stack, each filament is rich in golden yellow, and the texture is transparent and has a cream-like mellow and luster. The filaments start from one side and gradually become thinner, laying out a streamlined arc on the other side.

It turned out that the finale dish that Baron Flintrey was very proud of and carefully cooked by the celebrity chef was actually a very rich piece of pork wings, and Jin Shaolan couldn't help but move his appetite. But when he was about to feast on it, he felt a strong annoyance: in order to avoid showing timidity, Jin Shaolan had been secretly observing the actions of Tabesa and Bauer and others to draw gourds in the same way, and the High Elf poet he played at a banquet was not unnoble and elegant, but at this moment, the braised pork wings with full color and fragrance were placed in front of him, but he was a little at a loss: because although the shark fins were glutinous, they were not sticky to each other, and they could only pick up a few when they used knives and forks, at least for Jin Shaolan, who was skilled in using chopsticks instead of knives and forks- However, now that he is in the world of Azeroth, there is no "chopstick" for him to use.

It's a blissful annoyance _(:з"∠)_

Fortunately, this time, Brother Bao and they quickly gave the answer: use a fork to dial it into the spoon. As a result, Jin Shaolan successfully reveled in admiration that lasted for a few seconds, and covered up the embarrassment of not knowing where to start.

In fact, there is a widely circulated saying on the earth, that is, shark fin is not as good as pig's trotters, because shark fin is far different from pig's trotters in terms of taste and nutritional value. The first half of the sentence actually makes sense, shark fin is made from shark fins, and most of the ingredients are incomplete proteins and cannot be absorbed by the body; The taste of shark fin is bland, but also has the unique fishy smell of cartilaginous fish, which is difficult to eat, and from this point of view, shark fin is really not as good as pig's trotters. But the reason why Jin Shaolan never agrees with this view is that, in his opinion, the reason why shark fin is precious is not its taste at all, let alone its nutritional value - the beauty of shark fin lies in its unique taste. Besides, shark fin itself is like pig's trotters divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the top-notch, unique taste that makes shark fin dominate the scenery can only be cooked with top-quality fin steaks, just like this one in front of you-

Putting it in the mouth is a delicate and silky smooth enjoyment, soft and glutinous with obvious elasticity, but there is no sense of glue between each other, the roots and wings are distinct, and when you bite down, you are slightly sticky to the teeth with a faint resistance, but the next moment it seems to break apart by itself as soon as you are forced, rather than being cut off by your teeth. With the unique soft and smooth taste of shark fin, Jin Shaolan tasted the shiitake mushrooms, shredded bamboo shoots, chicken, ham, and pork chops that were compatible with the broth, giving shark fin a very rich sense of deliciousness. Rather than first commenting on how clever the dish is or how many flavors it has, that's a gourmet's job......

The plump and delicious flavor of the braised pork ribs pushed the atmosphere of the dinner to a climax. If in the first half of this meal, everyone enjoyed the joy of communication while enjoying the rare delicacies, now everyone is immersed in the delicious taste of braised pork wings, and gluttonous delicacies have become all at the moment, even if they occasionally open their mouths, it is all about its praise.

When everyone's pork wings in the soup bowl were swept away, the table was replaced with sweet chilled moonberry wine, for everyone to slowly reminisce about the deliciousness of the dishes in their hearts, and Jin Shaolan, who often had to go out to socialize and was known for his long-sleeved dancing, greatly appreciated this rich and beautiful wings. Thanks to the explosion of information in modern life, he can say a full range of reviews from taste to cooking techniques without thinking, which further won the baron's admiration and favor, so he was cited as a confidant. When the baron, who had a sense of sympathy with Jin Shaolan, boasted about it himself (not annoying, endearing boasting), this lovely half-old gentleman said triumphantly

"Yes, that's what it's known for—"

"Fish-man fin soup!"

……………………

Jin Shaolan squirted out a sip of wine with a "poof". “Anar'alah belore!” After taking a breath, he couldn't help but shout.

Everyone else at the table looked at him strangely.

“…… In the name of the sun. Yes, it was Salas, and he changed his words, his handsome face turning a little blue: "That's the fish-man's fins??? ”

The other people at the table were still puzzled. "yes?" Bauer's reaction to him was momentarily confused: "Didn't you eat it?" ”

But when I ate it, I thought it was a shark's fin!! Do you think I should know what kind of wings I have when I eat them!! I can't tell the difference between the golden hook and the heavenly nine, I'll tell you!! Jin Shaolan complained frantically in his heart, he thought so, so he also said so, of course, changed his tone to a more tactful and elegant tone:

“…… But, however, the "row of wings" is usually made of sharks, isn't it......"

He said weakly.

Then he watched as the other people's expressions changed from dazed to surprised.

"Shark!" Baron Flintrey, a half-old gentleman, gasped, and his eyes sparkled.

"Sharks??" The son of Duke Eberlock, Mayor Ellro, also said that his mouth was wide open, and his upper body leaned forward so hard that it almost pressed against the table.

"Wow," said Bauer, who raised his eyebrows in surprise and forgot to put down the glass in his hand. "Shark's Row of Wings! I thought that the elves of the Northern Kingdoms cooking shark meals were a joke about the luxury of your lives. ”

Sitting beside him, Tabesa's eyes lit up and she sighed yearningly, "Hey...... Not to lose is the source of mystery, Quel'Salas. ”

The Baroness, who had been quiet and languid most of the time, had her eyes widened, and she gasped as if she were about to faint, leaning her back against her chair, holding a white handkerchief to cover her cherry mouth.

Jin Shaolan suddenly felt that something was wrong......(:з"∠)_

After a flurry of exclamations/exclamations, everyone seemed to regain their composure a little, and after a few seconds of staring at each other, the old baron was the first to speak: "Praise the mysteries, praise the sun." Mr. Desidual, the power and richness of the Elven Kingdom is beyond my imagination, and hunting sharks is a dream for an old country man like me! ”

has not yet recovered from the shock of "Fish-Man Fin Soup", and Jin Shaolan's whole person is close to being completely stunned. In spite of some foreboding, which the Baron's words had deepened, he replied habitually, "Yes...... So ...... the fins of the fish-people? =。 =|||”

Fish-man fin soup!

Holy Light is on top, and he has indeed eaten an unknown number of bowls in the game, but this does not mean that he is also willing to try fish in reality. When this dish actually became a reality, and he just ate a portion of praise that proved the truth of the whole thing, he still didn't understand and couldn't imagine why someone would eat fish people so outrageous!

Anyway, Jin Shaolan himself can't accept eating a fishman who is also a sapient creature and a social sapient creature (if he is allowed to eat dragon meat, he can accept it), even if it's just shark fins, no, even if it's just the fins of the fishmen, which have nothing to do with humans. Although it doesn't make him feel like he is eating stewed fingers, it's still very disobedient, okay?! Big sister and Brother Bao, since you know what kind of wings this row of wings are in the bowl, how did you eat so calmly?!

It was only then that Bauer seemed to figure out what was the problem that shocked him. These elves are weird. "It may seem a little weird," he reassured the young elf, "but there's no denying that shark fin is a rare and wonderful ingredient." So I don't think it's a particularly difficult thing to do – once in a while. ”

Of course, he also complained about the fact that many extravagant and corrupt nobles ate everything, but if it was for the sake of the delicacy of fish-man fin soup, his principle was still willing to compromise his appetite. Elo, who is a great nobleman but has a personality that is closer to that of a warrior, is even more tendonous:

"Uh, what's wrong? …… Oh, don't you have a pimple in your heart because of the strange appearance of the fish-man, Mr. Dexiuda. In addition to looking a little like a human, this monster is almost the same as other big fish, and the taste of the fish is quite bad, yes, but in fact, it is completely non-toxic, and eating it can also make the body strong. And their fins are really a great dish! Besides, you can rest assured that before the pot is served, Smitz's apprentice has been carefully washed repeatedly and carefully to ensure that it is clean, not even a trace of mucus or aquatic plants. ”

As a friend of Baron Flintelin, and a companion today, Ello persuaded himself as if he were half a master:

"If you want me to say, since these monsters eat our people, then we will also eat shark fin to retaliate back, tooth for tooth, eye for eye, isn't it very exciting!"

@#$%^∪*……!!
