"Auntie asked you to practice your cooking skills and make authentic fried tomato balls for me to eat when you get back."
"Yes, yes, after returning to Seoul, I immediately bought the raw materials and made a delicious tomato ball for my boyfriend."
"Forget it, let me do it."
"You just don't believe in my cooking skills?" Li Xianghe muttered with his lips curled up.
"I just trust the coach and Li Zaiwan's evaluation of you." Su Yuhang smiled, "The coach said it more tactfully, saying that you are not suitable for the kitchen. Li Zaiwan was more direct, saying that your seafood soup is a lost soul from the underworld.
Soup."
Lost Soul Soup is also called "Meng Po Soup".
The kind that would kill you directly after drinking it.
"Didn't I just put in more seafood sauce before serving it?" Li Xianghe sighed helplessly.
Only Jiang Shanjiu pinched his nose and took a small sip of the bowl of soup. The others immediately ran away when they smelled the smell, unwilling to become victims of dark cuisine.
"But if you try again, you should do better." Su Yuhang comforted. The two of them had finished the mutton rolls in their hands and were tasting the tomato balls in the paper bowl with toothpicks.
After deep frying and special sauce.
The taste of tomato balls becomes different.
It has both the original sweet and sour taste and the umami flavor brought by the seafood sauce. It is indeed a delicious appetizer.
Pair it with the setting sun gradually setting in front of you and the sunset glow that dyes the sky red.
The idiom "beautiful and delicious" is most vividly reflected in this situation.
"You, a great chef, need to be there to guide you." Li Xianghe said, "This is a simple side dish. You have to learn it no matter what."
"Why do you have to learn it?" Su Yuhang didn't understand.
If you want to eat.
You can ask your boyfriend, who has pretty good cooking skills, to do it for you.
"This is a secret weapon to please your mother-in-law and father-in-law." Li Xianghe looked proud.
As long as you learn this European snack, you will be able to show off your skills in front of your aunts and uncles. I dare not say anything else, but at least it will increase a lot of impression points.
"Maybe you won't even have a chance to enter the kitchen by then." Su Yuhang took half a bite of the tomato balls, and Li Xianghe snatched the remaining half.
"Why don't you have a chance?"
"My dad's cooking skills are pretty good."
"How can I, my son-in-law, ask my father-in-law to cook when I come to visit?"
"My mother doesn't like to eat food cooked by others. Even if my cooking skills are pretty good, she will never let me cook." Su Yuhang explained.
But not necessarily.
If my mother wants to test her.
Maybe he will really let Li Xianghe enter the kitchen.
"Even so, I still have to prepare a few specialty dishes in advance."
After all, you are prepared for anything.
What if my mother-in-law changes her mind temporarily?
I want to have a taste of my son-in-law’s craftsmanship.
If you know how to cook a few dishes, you will naturally be confident. If you can't cook anything, won't you just be embarrassed and make a fool of yourself?
Finished the last tomato ball.
The setting sun also completely sank into the sea level.
Although this village built on an isolated island retains its quaint medieval architectural style, its infrastructure is still in line with modern society.
As the street lights turn on.
The night life officially begins.
It is close to the sea and has a variety of seafood stalls.
Dinner was just a casual mutton roll. When passing by a food stall, Li Xianghe enthusiastically ordered a few. Just like watching the sunset at the beach, the two of them ate snacks and wandered along the winding paths of the village.
"I read in the travel guide that there is also a luxuriously decorated palace here." Li Xianghe bit into the fish balls, his words slurred.
It’s different from the fish balls in Seoul.
The sauce here is more intense.
The flavor of fish fills your mouth as soon as you enter it, and the soup is also made from fish bones. Even if the night here is a little chilly, one sip of the thick soup will warm you up.
"The palace seems to be built on another nearby island." Su Yuhang nodded.
I have to say that the lady selling fried tomato balls was very enthusiastic.
Not only did he explain the sauce recipe without reservation, he also recommended many tourist attractions worth visiting to them, and the luxurious palace mentioned by Li Xianghe was one of them.
"Actually, the palace is also related to the myth and legend of the Aegean Sea." Li Xianghe said, "Originally, this place was originally called the Aegean Sea because the king fell in love with a beautiful young man who played the piano, and the two got married smoothly."
"Then what?" Su Yuhang asked.
He can generally guess the development of the subsequent plot.
It was just because of some force majeure that the two of them were separated.
"Then the war broke out, and the king left his beloved boy on his wedding night and went to the battlefield himself." Li Xianghe sighed, "and finally died on the battlefield."
"Since then."
"The boy plays a tune for his wife every night."
"The ghosts of kings also respond with the morning dew."
"Years later."
"The young man died of a broken heart."
"People poured the dew he collected on the young man."
"A magical scene happened. A clear spring gushes out of the boy's grave, changing from the spring to a stream, from the stream to a river, and finally from the river to the sea in front of us."
"To commemorate this tragic love."
"In addition, the boy likes to play the piano, so his name is also Qin."
"So this sea is called the 'Aegean Sea', and it is also the 'Sea of ​​Love' mentioned in the travel guide."
With the blessing of such a romantic background story.
Many couples who travel here subconsciously regard the "Aegean Sea" as the "Love Sea". In order to promote tourist attractions, travel brochures and some guides will use the latter name to refer to it.
"It's a pity that the palace on the island next door was newly built according to the architectural style." Li Xianghe continued.
At first she thought that the palace had been preserved from the Middle Ages and had been renovated accordingly in modern times, but she was a little disappointed because it had nothing to do with ancient buildings.
“But it’s still worth a visit.”
Traveling.
Definitely need to walk around.
The Aegean Sea is not that big to begin with.
There are only three or four corresponding islands worth seeing.
Other islands have either not had time to be developed or are too desolate.
"I definitely have to watch it, but now we're almost back to the hotel." Li Xianghe looked at the time.
It's similar here to Europe.
There is not much entertainment in the evening.
Moreover, the hotel also requires tourists to return to their rooms as early as possible to rest.
It is said that they are worried about the safety of traveling at night, especially since there are not enough patrols in the sea area here. If there is an emergency such as a tourist falling into the sea, there is no way to deal with it in time.
"Go back to the hotel?"
Although he knew that his girlfriend cared about him, when he thought about what someone did last night, Su Yuhang always felt that there was a strange hint in these words.
"You...don't think wrongly." Li Xianghe denied with a blushing face.
However, this statement directly highlights that "there is no three hundred taels of silver here".
Obviously Su Yuhang hasn't said anything yet.
Someone began to try their best to get rid of it.
"Forget it." Su Yuhang waved his hand, "I had some ideas originally, but if you say this..."
