Chapter 148: The World of Two
In the eyes of a qualified cook, the world is full of ingredients. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the seemingly barren desert, there may be an agave that grows for decades in the depths of some inconspicuous sand dune;
On the top of the snow-covered mountains, you can also pick the sweet yacon;
In the foul-smelling swamp sludge, cattail is no less delicious and nutritious than any animal protein.
The vast ocean, the place of origin of the ancient human race, in Lin Chou's view, is a real paradise.
When the tide recedes slightly, the rocky beach formed by the reef and reef reveals a whole grayish-black vegetative surface of the water, which grows so luxuriantly that it almost completely buries the rocky beach, and looks like an elderly beggar's perennial untreated hair piled up in layers and is disgusting.
But this thing is a real treasure in the alley, at least Lin Chou couldn't afford to use it before.
Commonly known as velvet moss, those hair-like branches and stems are extremely rich in natural vegetable oils, and a large amount of ointment can be easily squeezed out after a little alcohol soaking.
The ointment is not suitable for consumption due to its very strong smell, well, occasionally some people use this thing to ferment stinky tofu.
The ointment is semi-solidified, blue-black, extremely flammable, and burned at a temperature slightly higher than that of fine coal, so it was also used by craftsmen to make metal or to make steel in blast furnaces.
But at this moment, in Lin Chou's view, this is ready-made natural firewood.
When fishing for the velvet moss, there are many slender silver fish swimming around in panic in the pool below, and their movements are fast.
They are very lively, and the length of the palm is short and the thickness of chopsticks makes them look delicious.
Especially when Lin Chou grabbed a pinch, looked at the meat and smelled it, this idea was affirmed.
As the saying goes, fish eat small and eat jump.
This means that the smaller and more lively the fish, the more delicious and nutritious it is.
I didn't rush to fish out these small fish, anyway, the puddle was so big, and it was just something in the bag.
...
Rolling can't hear any words like "rice" and "eating" now, and after seeing Lin Chou ignore it and go to the side to be busy, Rolling couldn't hold back his saliva a little.
The two fat bear paws rubbed back and forth, looking at the various fish and shrimp stranded in the terraced water less than half a meter deep, and his expression was very melancholy.
"Hey, I remember, bears are all good swimmers, and most of them are good at catching fish, Roll Lord, are you going to show me your hands?"
"Whew!"
Rolling his eyes, his dark pupils revealed resoluteness and seriousness, and he vigorously brushed the hair on his body while moving his hands and feet.
Lin Chou looked at the rolling, is this going to the sea to catch fish?
Rolling took a deep breath, leaned forward on tiptoe, and with a wave of the bear's paw, the sea water in the terraced fields of dozens of square meters in front of him converged to the middle, gradually rising out of the ground, forming a huge water ball with a diameter of 100 meters, and all kinds of fish and shrimp were panicking and struggling in the water.
Manipulate the water balloon to float above the beach and immediately dissipate the gravitational field.
"Whoa!"
Lin Chou watched a large number of living creatures dying and struggling on the beach, crying and laughing.
When all the water was gone, the big man walked over and picked out a big fish and twisted it between his two fingers, looking dazed.
"Hmm, that's your lunch?"
The largest of them are about 25th of a claw long, about a catty.
Feeling deceived, Rolling became furious and drifted towards the distant sea.
Huge ballballs of water rose from the surface of the sea and shattered and fell back into the sea.
Lin Chou's eyes lit up, and in the pool that Rolling had just emptied, two strangely shaped reefs attracted his attention.
When he looked closer, sure enough, as he thought, these were two huge crooked people, that is, sea mussels.
The specific species is unknown, one large and one small, the large one has a diameter of three or four meters, and the small one is nearly three meters, the surface is blue and black, covered with all kinds of corals and marine moss, I don't know that it has grown for hundreds of years, if you don't pay attention to it, you may ignore these two big guys lying on the reef.
The junction between the two sea mussels and the reef has been completely stoned together, and Lin Chou cut off the roots of these two guys as soon as he shoveled it down.
Although the meat of this thing may not be delicious or even edible, its shell is a natural cooking utensil.
The main dish is already there, and there is no shortage of meat from the two crooked people - the big toad more than 100 meters long is not lying there honestly.
Rolling toes came back with two big fish on his shoulder, and there were several huge crabs floating in the air beside him.
Lin Chou said, "Do you want to taste that toad?" ”
Rolling immediately patted his chest, signaling that this kind of arduous task should be handed over to it, not to mention tasting it, Ben Rolling could finish it in a few meals.
Lin Chou let Rolling tear a frog's leg down, the leg of this thing has three joints, fully stretched out and fifty or sixty meters long, directly cut off the other parts, only the round thighs remained, and after the skin was removed, the crystal tight snow-white frog meat was revealed.
Let the rolling break open two sea mussels, which are also tender white meat.
This thing is more troublesome to make, and Lin Chou doesn't plan to use mussel meat, so he just swallows it in one bite.
"Whew!"
The rolling adult said that the taste was acceptable, but he was a little toothy, and casually spit out a few finger-sized pearl crumbs.
This kind of rough texture pearl has a lot of bright light.
The women of wealthy families use fried pearl powder mixed with egg whites of exotic eggs to make masks, which are said to be excellent for the skin.
The four-petaled open mussel shell is like a four-mouth cauldron, and the inner surface is finely lubricated and has a delicate soft light like a pearl.
The composition of the mussel shell is actually the same as that of pearls, so it can be said that it is a pearl with more impurities.
Before the cataclysm, the vast majority of expensive cosmetics with pearl powder ingredients used by the ancients were calcined and ground with this thing, and after two crude grinding, it became a fine "pearl powder", and after three grinding, it could reach "nano-food grade", and the cost was outrageously low, but when it was sold, it was measured by grams.
The two big fish in the trophy, one is a whale with a mouth full of jagged teeth, but the big guy ten meters long is useless, the meat is rough, and the oil in the stomach is smelly.
Lin Chou pursed his lips and motioned to throw it away.
Rolling was a little reluctant, and after taking a hard bite, he spit out the meat in his mouth with a bitter face and threw the whale away.
Although whale meat is very tasty after being processed by certain means, it is quite cumbersome and time-consuming to make, and it is not suitable for the current situation.
The other fish is amazing, it is actually the famous bluefin tuna, which is ten meters long, and God knows why this top ingredient that is active in the deep sea is so unthinkable, and it is daunted by this island where birds don't and die.
A shovel broke through the round belly of the fish, and the long lumps of fish oil and internal organs rolled out in an instant.
After being disemboweled, the bluefin tuna almost completely devoid of the fishy smell of ordinary fish, and the jelly-like fish oil has a very light aroma.
After fiddling with it for a while, he sighed, "It's the top ingredient that all chefs want to cook!" It's just different. ”
Lin Chou, who has been aggrieved in a small alley since he was a child, has never seen this kind of ingredient equivalent to silver, and he has only learned a lot of things by relying on his two old men chattering in his ears over and over again.
Well, I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it.
