Chapter 198: Constance on the Tip of the Tongue
In early October, a sudden gastronomic boom erupted from Tongue Island, quickly swept through the chaotic sea, and finally formed what was later called "Constance on the Tip of the Tongue!"
In the local area of Tongue Island, even though Lin Taiping has left Tongue Island, but Tongue Island still has his legend, those guests who have been spoiled by oriental food, suddenly lose interest in those cookie-cutter food, even if they walk into the top luxury restaurant of Tongue Island, the first thing they say when they sit down is - "Hmm, do you have Kung Pao Chicken here? Do you have green pepper beef tenderloin? Do you have any sizzling tofu? Nothing, dare to come out and open a store?"
Fortunately, not all restaurants will face this embarrassment, at least a dozen top restaurants led by Chef Meng Keduo have already reached a cooperation agreement with Lin Taiping, in fact, just a few days later, they jointly launched a special event for the Oriental Food Month, an ordinary fish-flavored shredded pork, just because of the four words of the royal supreme, they actually dared to sell fifty gold coins, and they actually had to queue up to make a reservation.
Half a month later, the chefs who were originally forced to board the thief ship were suddenly surprised to find that the profits of the Oriental Food Month were far more profitable than before, and it was much easier than in the past.
In Lisbon, Baron Oku, who returned from a trip to the island of tongue, invited many nobles to a private dinner, the main course of the banquet was not a fine steak, nor a deep-sea tuna, but a steaming copper stove small hot pot placed in the center of the table, under the stunned gaze of a group of nobles, Baron Oku picked up a piece of mutton and soaked it until it was medium-rare, and dipped it in a special seasoning, and put it in his mouth with great enjoyment: "Well, delicious!"
What kind of food is this? A group of nobles looked at each other for a long time. Finally, someone followed the example of Baron Oku, carefully ate a slice of mutton, and then ...... In the blink of an eye, the three plates of mutton on the table suddenly disappeared, and even the soup in the small hot pot of the copper stove and the special seasoning next to it were drunk cleanly, not even a drop left.
From then on, in less than a few days, the small hot pot with mutton shabu on the copper stove became a must-have main dish for banquets throughout Lisbon. It doesn't matter what kind of aristocrat you are, no matter how luxurious and high-end your banquet is, if you don't put a small hot pot with a copper stove on the table, you are embarrassed to send invitations to invite people to participate!
On Silvermirror Island, a city famous for its art in the chaotic sea, the musician Mr. Munster invited famous local artists to hold a grand art salon, which was completely different from the previous discussion of poetry and opera, and this time they discussed the theme. Yes - "The Artistic Creation of Oriental Mysterious Cuisine"......
That's right, around the plate of fried screws that has just arrived at the mansion, the famous artists sucked and discussed enthusiastically with their own opinions. In the end, they all reached a consensus: "There is no doubt that frying screws is not only about screws, but also contains the totem worship of fire by the Oriental people for 5,000 years, which is a symbol and sublimation of art!"
All right. If Lin Taiping heard such a conclusion, he would definitely be moved to tears, but it didn't matter whether he heard it or not. However, for a long time after that, Silver Mirror Island set off a boom in paying tribute to oriental food art, so that the original price of fish-flavored shredded pork was only a few gold coins, but the price of fish-flavored shredded meat in the name of art actually increased nearly six times!
So, so, so, this food craze on the tip of the tongue continues to spread at a crazy speed, a large number of orders are flying like snowflakes, Mrs. Philina who stays in charge of business on the island of tongue is very busy, the first thing she gets up every morning is to receive orders, and the last thing before going to bed every day is to receive orders, and her Blue Jade Ocean Restaurant can be renamed the Oriental Food Order Reception.
However, this qiē has nothing to do with Lin Taiping, because at this moment, he has already left Tongue Island with everyone, and is riding a fast boat on the vast angry sea, which is completely different from the frenzied atmosphere on Tongue Island, but at this moment, the deck is shrouded in an anxious and irritable atmosphere-
Facing Lin Taiping, Angelina, and Mr. Clente, the scarred Black Tu beat his chest and was full of anger, and he used too much force to tear the wounds: "Woo woo, it's all over, it's all over, the Golden Chamber of Commerce that we have built up with great difficulty has all been served by the bastard of Duke Blood, and even Lanshan Island has been raided!"
"Damn, how could this happen?" Mr. Krent trembled with rage, grabbed Black Tu's neck and shook it vigorously, "Don't you even notice it, are you just stupidly waiting for someone else to seize it, all our funds, as well as a large number of medicines and comics, are all stored on Lanshan Island, do you know how much money it will cost us?"
Do you blame me? It's good that he didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, Hei Tu beat his chest with grief and indignation: "How do we know that there will be such a thing? When you were away last month, Baron Mills, the only son of the Duke of Bloodsa, passed by in the name of going to sea to play, but who would have thought that he suddenly ordered the fleet to turn halfway through, and then ......"
Then, the defenseless Lanshan Island fell into bad luck, in fact, even if there is defense, it is useless, under the vicious threat of the armed fleet and thousands of soldiers, Lanshan Island does not even have the courage to resist, the industry of the Gold Chamber of Commerce was directly put to a pot, and more than a dozen black merchants were all arrested, only the black slaughter reacted very quickly and immediately escaped from the hidden tunnel, which was lucky to escape.
After that, Hei Tu secretly stuffed a sum of money, and finally got the news from several thieves, it is said that the cause of this incident is because the gold chamber of commerce is developing too fast and making money day by day, which has caused the greedy desire of the Duke of Blood, the duke has been distressed by the shortage of military spending recently, and after learning about the wealth of the gold chamber of commerce, he suddenly became greedy, and his only son, Baron Mills, immediately volunteered, saying that he would handle this matter skillfully.
Well, it is indeed very skillful, this brutal baron didn't even bother to inquire about the background, and directly led the fleet to the door to seize the Chamber of Commerce, and looted all the property of the Chamber of Commerce, including those drug comics, and there was not even a single copper coin left...... What? Unreasonable? It's funny, do you know who my dad is?
"I'll let him die with his father!" Mr. Krent was already furious when he heard this, and Angelina was even more murderous, and the whole fishtail stood up like an electric shock. Even Tooth brandished two kitchen knives and roared viciously, vowing to cut that damn Mills into sashimi, just like his half-brother.
You know, the Gold Chamber of Commerce is the agent of the dark creatures, specializing in helping the Ice and Fire Islands make money and collect resources, without the agent of the Gold Chamber of Commerce, the drug business and the comic business will all plummet, and it is not so easy to find a suitable agent, more importantly. Looking at the meaning of Duke Bloodsa and Mills, it seems that they are not only satisfied with the seizure of the Gold Chamber of Commerce, but also want to figure out the Guò Gold Merchant to find secrets and monopolize the huge profits of the drug business and the comic business.
What kind of behavior is this? This is no longer a slap in the face, but a reckless kicking of the nose in the face, if this can also knock out the teeth and swallow it in the stomach, we will not be mixed up in the chaotic sea in the future, just as the so-called cutting off people's financial routes is like killing the whole family, and daring to destroy the bastards who make us gold coins. Just give me all to die, die, die!
"Calm down, guys, calm down. Lin Taiping was still very calm, wiping the fog on his glasses. While looking at Hei Tu, "The face is definitely going to be hit back, and the left face is going to be hit the right face, but there is one thing I don't quite understand." Doesn't that Baron Mills care about the connections of the black merchants at all, and doesn't investigate the background of the Gold Chamber of Commerce?"
"That guy is a stupid pig. It's still an arrogant and domineering stupid pig!" Hei Tu gritted his teeth in hatred, clenching his fists to the core, "Actually, I once sent him a letter saying that the forces behind our Gold Chamber of Commerce were willing to sit down with him to negotiate, but that bastard from Mills actually said...... I actually said......"
Angelina and Mr. Krent couldn't help it, and urged desperately.
"The guy said...... "Remembering the humiliation he had suffered, Hei Tu's face was still flushed with anger," said the guy, who had been waiting for a long time on the island of Lisbon, and had prepared a beautiful row of gallows, just waiting for us to send them to the door automatically, of course, it doesn't have to be hanged, if we are willing to kneel down and ask for his forgiveness, and honestly obey his ......"
Bastard! Damn bastard! Before Hei Tu could finish speaking, the giant fang screamed viciously, and slammed his fist on the side of the ship, smashing the wooden planks scattered and scattered: "Bastard! How dare you say that? I swear with my favorite kitchen knife that I will tie him to the board and carefully cut him into thousands of pieces!"
How can a few thousand pieces be enough? At least tens of thousands of pieces! Mr. Crent waved his arms with a flushed face, and Angelina was even more angry and condensed the fireball, eager to kill Lisbon Island now, damn Mills, sure enough, exactly like his father, all of them are despicable, shameless, greedy, and brutal scumbags, no, the scum all lifted them up.
"Wait, wait. But in the midst of such excitement, Lin Taiping suddenly pushed his glasses and turned his head to look at Hei Tu, "Old Hei, you just said that Baron Mills has been staying on Lisbon Island?
"Huh?" Black Tu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously shook his head and said, "No, no, no, Duke Bloodsa has been busy expanding his armaments recently, so Baron Mills will replace him as the consul of the commercial island of Lisbon, to be honest, since he took office, Lisbon Island has simply been boiling with public resentment." ”
"Very good, that's right!" Lin Taiping clapped his hands suddenly, and stood up with a smile, "You know, I suddenly have a very interesting plan, maybe our goal is not only to regain the wealth and slap the face by the way, maybe we can also take the opportunity to do a big deal and give Duke Bloodsa an unforgettable memory." ”
What kind of plan?What plan?
"That's right!" Lin Taiping smiled even more happily, his eight teeth shining in the sun, "What do we lack most now, isn't it a lack of money?"
"Well, I want to ...... Poof!" Mr. Krent replied stupidly, but just halfway through the answer, he suddenly spurted blood from his mouth in a daze, "Lin, you must not sue me that you plan to ......"
Why not? Lin Taiping blinked innocently, but Angelina and Giant Fang didn't care so much, they couldn't wait to sharpen their knives for a long time, at this moment, in their eyes, the originally hateful Baron Mills had turned into a bundle of golden tickets, which couldn't be more cute.
Crazy! You are all crazy! Mr. Krent burst into tears, don't be kidding, just a few of us here, we can't even get into the port of Lisbon, and you still dare to beat Baron Mills's idea, this is the rhythm of being bombed into scum every minute, no, no, no, maybe there is not even scum left.
"Who said there are only a few of us?" Lin Taiping stretched and patted Angelina's fragrant shoulder again, "Sister, you and Jufang go back to the archipelago first, and gather the hundred-legged ones to come and meet......;
Needless to say, looking at Lin Taiping's kind and enthusiastic gaze, Mr. Krent was only stupid for a third of a second, and immediately pulled his leg without hesitation, but before he could take a step on his right leg, Lin Taiping grabbed him and said with a touched face: "Old Ke, I know, you must be willing to accompany me to Lisbon Island to explore the way, right?"
It's not right at all, poor Mr. Krent shook his head desperately with tears in his eyes, woo woo, why should I accompany you to Lisbon Island to explore the way, even if you really want to go, it is enough for you to go alone, a fat man like me who will pant for breath after running a few steps will only drag his legs.
"It's okay, I just like a fat guy like you who runs slowly, especially when you're being hunted down. Completely ignoring his grievances, Lin Taiping clung to him tightly, like grabbing a humanoid meat shield that was delivered to the door for free, "Anla, I promise you won't die, at most, you will be seriously injured and broken and have a few arms or something, so ...... Let's go!"
In the tears that Mr. Krent spilled everywhere, Angelina couldn't wait to raise her fishtail and jump onto the bow of the ship with her giant fangs murderously, and a moment later, the merchant ship with full sails turned sharply and sailed towards the distant and unknown deep sea fog in the face of the howling wind and waves......
The sea breeze whistled by, and the originally turbulent sea gradually returned to calm, and only Angelina's serious question could be faintly heard in the distant fog, still fluttering in the wind on the deck.
"Xiao Linzi, you said that after we kidnap that bastard Mills, should we cut off one of his fingers and give it to Bloodsa, or should we cut off one of his ears...... Uh, Giant Fang, are you starting sharpening your knives now?"
So, at this moment, thousands of miles away on the island of Lisbon, a certain fat baron, who was getting drunk with his dancing girl in his arms, suddenly couldn't help but sneeze hard.
It seems, maybe, as if...... What terrible thing is about to happen?
