Although Ma Zhou is an upright gentleman, he is not a pure scholar who is ignorant of human feelings and knowledge. His vision is quite broad among contemporary young people.
Of course, I also know that the commander-in-chief of the army and the high-ranking officials from the court secretly drink and eat some delicious snacks. This is not a big deal. Compared with the problem of food and grass, these are nothing short of trivial matters.
Now that I have broken it myself, it seems a bit embarrassing.
but……
Immediately afterwards, Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji on the opposite side stared at him, but they were stunned.
The two people stared at me in a daze, which made people nervous, but also confused...
Judging from their expressions, it seemed like something big had happened.
Ma Zhou became a little nervous and couldn't help but bowed his hands again and asked,
"Two adults, do you have any instructions? If there is any situation on the ship, I can help you..."
As Ma Zhou spoke, he looked at Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji nervously.
But then...
The two people suddenly looked at each other and showed a somewhat embarrassed smile...
Immediately afterwards, Chai Shao put away his embarrassed expression, looked at Ma Zhou and asked,
"My dear nephew, Prince Bin, do you know this fish...?"
Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji were really nervous at this moment. The most nervous thing was... what kind of fish they were eating.
If it is really a strange fish, then things will be in trouble...
Ma Zhou looked at it and thought about it...
Then he said, "General, this should be grouper...it has a unique flavor, second only to lobster."
Ma Zhou was a little surprised. These two guys didn't even know what they were eating...
What to do if you are poisoned?
But he didn't ask much. After all, when the army goes out, there is always something to eat.
However, Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji were startled again by his answer.
"My dear nephew, King Bin... do you know this fish?"
The two looked at each other in astonishment, "Do you know what's so special about this grouper?"
"Grouper...what's special?..."
Ma Zhou was startled when he heard this. He didn't understand why Chai Shao would ask such a question...
You have all eaten, what else do you have to ask...Besides, apart from the delicious meat, there is nothing special about this fish, right?
After thinking about it for a long time, Ma Zhou still couldn't figure out what was wrong with this fish.
So Zhidei answered honestly and talked about some experiences.
"Well……"
"Say it!"
"...Okay, General Chai, Lord Changsun. This grouper... I really don't remember what is so special about this grouper... because I also ate some of this fish when I was in Hangzhou."
"This fish...except for the delicious meat, there is nothing unique about it."
"ah?……"
When Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji heard this, they immediately fell into deep thought...
Apart from being delicious, there is nothing special about this fish?
No, wait...
Ma Zhou has eaten it himself several times.
Doesn't that mean that this fish... is actually non-toxic?
Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji quickly realized this and let out a sigh of relief.
Damn, it was getting more and more scary the more I talked about it just now. Now when I hear Ma Zhou’s words, I feel so safe.
but……
A question also arises now.
Since this fish is nothing special, why...
The two of them couldn't help but smell it again. The fish was too fragrant.
Why is it so fragrant? This special girl has a strange fragrance...it smells so abnormal.
Then...could it be that someone poisoned me?
Changsun Wuji felt bad. He couldn't remember what the two sailors looked like before!
Damn it, is it an assassin?
But while he was thinking wildly, Chai Shao looked at Ma Zhou and asked directly,
Hiding his panic, he laughed loudly, "What Nephew Bin said is right, this fish is indeed delicious. However, what Nephew Bin said is also wrong. This fish is not only delicious, but it is no worse than lobster. This
It’s clearly far superior!”
"Well……"
Ma Yiyi heard what Chai Shao said...According to his not low emotional intelligence, he actually knew that when the Venerable was bragging about something, he should agree to it.
However, the gentlemanly education he received since childhood had a great influence on Ma Zhou. After thinking about it, he still answered honestly,
"Well, General Chai... I think this fish cannot be compared with lobster... In fact, the market price in Hangzhou is that lobster is more expensive..."
When Chai Shao heard what the other party said, he immediately understood.
What's the market price in Hangzhou? If there's a market price, doesn't it mean that you're not the only one eating the fish? It means that the fish is really safe.
Then this strange fragrance is...
Chai Shao then showed a puzzled look, "Why don't you give it a try, my dear nephew? This fish meat is indeed stronger than lobster."
Ma Zhou didn't hesitate this time, smiled and answered directly.
"General, don't make fun of me. This fish is indeed not as good as lobster, but when cooked with white pepper, the flavor is indeed not inferior to lobster. In fact, you can say that."
"black pepper?"
This time it was Chai Shao's turn to be stunned.
What is pepper?
Not only Chai Shao, but also Changsun Wuji suddenly caught this word.
It sounds like...this thing seems to be very important!
…
Ma Zhou started talking again...
Then, I finally explained it to the two catering supervisors.
There's nothing special about this fish. It's delicious and is of the highest quality. It's not a unique treasure.
The reason why the fishes of Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji today are so delicious is because of the "pepper" used in cooking!
Changsun Wuji had asked for this "pepper" directly when he asked two sailors to take away the fish, and then went to the mess hall to ask for it. When cooking, he put it in based on his impression, and it was subject to being cooked...
In short, if it weren't for Changsun Wuji and Chai Shao, who know almost nothing about cooking due to their military career training, these two people would really not realize...
The real source of this strange aroma is not the fish, but the seasoning!
But I realized that this scent is seasoning...
The two of them were very shocked.
This stuff...is too fragrant?!
It smelled so incredibly good that both Mad and Mad thought someone had poisoned it...
But now it seems that no one poisoned...
This seasoning is so fragrant!
Strange fragrance!
The kind of fragrance that breaks your nose!
Before coming here, both Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji thought it was a hard job in a miasmatic land... a classic stereotype.
But now that I look at it, my dear, this is so exciting.
Such fragrant spices are better than all the spices they have smelled in their lives...
It's not like they haven't smelled ambergris before, but compared to this...
I can't say it all, but this thing can definitely be compared with ambergris.
This moment...
Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji looked at each other and understood in an instant.
Good guy...
Is this thing found on the southern island?
This has never been heard of in the Central Plains!
But Li Sheng mentioned that there are countless magical species overseas that are worth millions of dollars...
