Chapter 266 Delicious hot pot

In the castle of Hodeida, bright lights rise at night. This makes the residents here think that this place is already a place that is almost heaven.

These are all new changes that have occurred since the city of Hodeida, a city lord named Abdul Matini. The people in the city finally liked the new changes. The slaves obtained from the city of Zabid were expanding the harbor of Hodeida. I heard that there will be important commercial ports here in the future.

Zhao Fubo, who is about to set out, will be here tonight to receive a farewell banquet decorated by the city lord Martini. He will lead his cavalry to march northward and capture several other cities in western Aden. Tonight is the last drink before the expedition, and tomorrow will be another journey full of difficulties and obstacles.

Zhao Fubo hopes that in a short time, he can take over these cities that were removed from the main force by the Little Ashlevo City. In the western part of the Aden province, in Zhao Fubo's eyes, in addition to being like a city like Zaibid, the city is not even large in size. As long as these small cities are solved, the battle in the Aden province will be about to end. In other words, their efforts to make the supply line will also achieve the expected results.

For this expedition, the city lord Abdul Matini of Hodeida put in a lot of effort. The food he prepared at the banquet should not appear in the Arab Empire at all. It was also a way of eating that he had only tasted on the island of Felekai and he already liked very much.

Sophia stayed on the island of Ferai for a lot, but she had never seen such a way of eating. When she and the officers who were preparing to follow Zhao Fubo to fight, they had already set up some rectangular tables. But what made her eyes widen, she had never seen the things on the table before.

The copper pots placed on the table were still steaming constantly, and fresh vegetables and various sliced ​​meats were placed around the copper pot. This is the most unique food on the Island of Ferai - hot pot. I don’t know if there was any Da Song at that time, but Martin likes to eat it, so naturally this way of eating was promoted on the Island of Ferai.

Interestingly, many soldiers from the Arab Legion who like to eat greasy and sweets actually like this way of eating. However, most of them chose the bottom of the three-fresh pot, and they didn't even dare to look at the spicy pots "created" by Martin.

It is natural that it would be a shame to eat this kind of thing. Fortunately, using chopsticks is not a difficult task for the people of Ferai. The officers looked at the bright red slices of meat, pink fish fillets and fresh vegetables, all with saliva all over their mouths. Unfortunately, the one who spoke on the top now was the new city lord of Hodeida.

He held the wine glass high in his hand, and the officers had to sit upright one by one, listening to his almost endless words to wish him.

"Dear colleagues, you all will go on the battle again tomorrow. I wish you all the best and everyone here..."

The officers held their cups and trembled slightly, and their hearts retained a strong appetite for the food that could be seen but could not be eaten. The faces had to show a look of concentration, as if they were listening to Abdul Martini's speech wholeheartedly.

"…The future is difficult, I hope you all work together..."

Abdul Martini's long speech has already made many people regret it. They should sit outside and gather around the iron pots with their subordinates. Although the eating habits there may not be very elegant and the dishes cut out will not be more detailed than here, the biggest advantage there is that no one is willing to talk more.

Even this includes Uncle Zhao Fu. Facing his own city, he was overjoyed and showed his special hobby brother. Zhao Fubo had to shake his head helplessly. The wine glass in his hand was held in the air with everyone to show respect for him.

In fact, their big meal together for the whole army was thankful to the Lord of Ofar who got Zabid City. In order to express his gratitude to Zhao Fubo, when Zhao Fubo returned to Hodeida, he immediately sent a large amount of food, grass, cattle and sheep.

The food and grass were delivered with him, and some girls he picked out from Zabid. At this moment, they were wearing veils and waiting with musicians. When the banquet officially began, they would dance in the empty field in the middle of the table to cheer them up.

"Victory...Victory...Victory..."

Abdul Martini finally ended his long speech with a proposal of "victory" three times. Zhao Fubo discovered that although the young lord didn't talk much when he was in Huangsha City. But now, his long speech was indeed very unexpected to Zhao Fubo. He never knew that his brother had this hobby.

After Zhao Fubo and Abdul Martini had a glass of wine, he drank the first glass of wine with other senior generals on the table. Then Zhao Fubo personally poured a glass of wine for all his men. When he raised his glass and spoke, it was brief.

"Safowan, this time I did a good job in Zabid City. Today I borrow the banquet of the Lord of Martini, and I would like to wish you a drink on behalf of everyone on the island of Felekai!"

Saffwan was not prepared at all for this matter. Even Zhao Fu's behavior of toasting him made him feel a little embarrassed. Like all the people from Mamluk cavalry, Saffwan was a taciturn person. He just raised the wine glass in his hand and touched the wine glasses of Zhao Fubo and others. Although this was just a glass of wine, it definitely had a different taste for Saffwan.

Sophia put down her glass, but she didn't drink much. Because she had lived on the island of Felecia for a while, she knew that drinking too much would make people confused. She grabbed the chopsticks in her hand and turned it over to the table of food.

In front of her table, except for the wine glass, there was only a bowl filled with thick and thick. Looking at the table, there were raw food or fresh vegetables everywhere. She had never eaten hot pot before, but she knew how to make it.

Zhao Fubo was a little funny when he observed her embarrassment. When he recalled the first time he had eaten this way of eating hot pot because Martin was a little greedy, his mood was probably somewhat similar to the girl in front of him. Therefore, he stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat and put it into the copper pot in front of him.

Sophia saw what Zhao Fubo meant, which made her very curious. She didn't understand why this should be done in the kitchen and why it was done on the dining table.

In the fresh soup that was rolled with charcoal and rolling, the color of the thin, bright red rolls slowly began to change. After being 70% ripe, it was put into the bowl. After eating this piece of meat into your mouth, Zhao Fubo, who was burnt and constantly inhaled, told Sophia with his eyes that this thing was the way to eat.

Sophia followed Zhao Fubo's appearance and rinsed a piece of mutton in the pot. After she put the hot and tender mutton into her mouth, a delicious taste that she had never tasted before spread between her lips and teeth. She just dipped it in too much sauce with chili and pepper in the bowl, but she couldn't help but drink several sips of wine.

"How about Sophia, are you still used to eating? This is how we Chinese eat it, it is called hot pot."

Just here, they were waiting for the singers and dancers, accompanied by the drum beats, twisting their waists under the veil, and came to the empty field in the middle of the hall. Under the illumination of the steam lights, they began to twist their soft and graceful waists.

As the banquet progressed, the cold wind at night delivered outside the window could not affect the people in the hall. Many young officers had unbuttoned their military uniforms. The young officers who had already started sweating began to follow their delicate curves under the gas lamp.

Even Sophia had some similar reactions. The hot hot pot and the wine that was constantly drunk due to the heavy taste made her blush, and some traces of sweat appeared on her red face. On this cold desert night, there was no better food than hot pot.

"Do you know that the word "fresh" in our Chinese characters is the word "fish" and "sheep". Now we use fish soup to sauté mutton, which is exactly the same as this word!"

After touching the sauce in the bowl once, Sophia was attracted by the taste stimulation caused by spicy and numbness. At this time, her numb tongue could no longer feel what "fresh" tasted. However, the young officers who had already eaten hot pot in the hall and fell in love with this food had no problem. Many of them even drank soup with big bowls.

Although Sophia, who was numb from the spicy sauce in the bowl, was surprised to find that she thought she knew very well about Ferai. But reality told her that this Ferai is probably the most mysterious place in the world.

The simplest fish soup and mutton can actually make hot pot with such delicious taste. She had decided in her heart that if she could save her father, she would definitely let him taste these delicacies.

In fact, what I want to say with this hot pot meeting is that Martin provides a seasoning that is absolutely not available in the world - MSG. It is precisely this seasoning that has no magical characteristics for chemistry teachers, Martin has been extracted from soybeans and wheat, and has become another most important seasoning on the island of Ferlieke in addition to the excessive salt.

In fact, this kind of product is used in hot pot today. Therefore, if we only talk about the taste of the food, there is no regional or international food in the world that can be compared with the food on the island of Ferai.

This is actually just the attraction of technology!
