Nine hundred and eighty-eighth chapter ginseng flowers
The old man said disdainfully,
"I thought you were a discerning person, haha, I look up to you. You are just as ignorant as the little brats from the Xue family."
Lin Chou pretended not to hear this and instead carefully observed what was strange about the sea cucumber in the water bag.
After watching for a while, Lin Chou let out a surprised sound,
“Are these red sea cucumbers female?”
Suddenly, he almost jumped up,
"Old... old man... you can't do it!!"
The old man sat there with all his might and asked,
"What's wrong? I don't understand what you are saying."
Lin Chou opened his mouth wide and said excitedly,
"Don't tell me these sea cucumbers are all seed-bearing! It can't be true!"
Since the old man was so confident, his sea cucumbers must have something worthy of attention. So when Lin Chou discovered that these sea cucumbers were all female, he immediately realized that they were probably rare sea cucumbers with seeds.
Genuine and good things are also very rare in Mingguang.
Under Lin Chou's expectant gaze, the old man finally nodded.
"good."
Lin Chou's surprise and surprise were hard to describe in words.
Knock, your luck has already increased even before you eat the crock pot chicken?
The seed-bearing period of sea cucumbers is very short. Just like the sea cucumbers before the catastrophe, it usually only takes about 20 days from late May to early June to catch sea cucumbers with seeds. After this time, the sea cucumber eggs will
will be discharged into the sea - and the seed-bearing period of red sea cucumbers in the Cataclysm Era is only seven days.
Of course, these are just rumors.
After all, it is not possible for Lin Moumou to dive and observe personally. It is impossible to dive, and it is impossible to dive in this life.
The short seed holding period is not the main reason. Don’t forget that the wild sea cucumbers in the Cataclysm era also have a sharp move that directly hits the soul: "Whether you can beat me or not, I will spray the internal organs first" - what the hell.
Intestines, stomach, children, gods and horses are just floating clouds.
Everything will disappear in the blink of an eye!
Regardless of how powerful this trick is, you don't want to come up with a reliable way to deal with it and never see a sea cucumber with internal organs in your life.
Lin Chou didn't even know what to say. The sea cucumbers in the water bag hadn't even started to turn into skin yet. They shrank and swelled and were jumping around.
"This is unscientific..."
The old man stroked his beard,
"That's right, it's not scientific. Haha, this is my unique secret, old man."
The old man said,
"I don't have the conditions you have. It's a waste to serve these little elves. Now I'm taking advantage of you."
Lin Chou nodded repeatedly,
"Okay, okay, don't worry, old man - we can eat it however we want today, just ask."
The old man thought for a moment,
"I heard that your kid has a good boiled cabbage soup here, ahem..."
Lin Choucheng understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.
This old man... is pretty good at figuring things out...
"Okay, then it's up to you."
Originally, Lin Chou was thinking of using sea cucumber flowers to make jelly, such as diced earth jelly, which would make her eyebrows fade away. However, since someone wanted to serve the soup by name, Lin Chou didn't want to be called stingy.
This rare and light ingredient is mostly served as a cold dish according to Mingguang's taste, and is served with sand crab juice or jellyfish seasoning.
As for whether the soup stock is boiled...
Few, very few.
Sea cucumber flowers are notoriously intolerant to high temperatures, even just boiling water won't do.
First, it will lose its flavor, second, it will lose its shape, and third, it will become old and useless.
but...
Lin Chou smiled,
"The old man's taste is quite light."
Mr. Jie glanced at Lin Chou and said,
"Don't fool me, do you want to make me some sauce to stew this thing or something?"
"..."
This old man's words are too unpleasant to listen to!
So Lin Chou went to the kitchen holding the water bag.
A bag of sea cucumbers was poured into the basin. The belly of each sea cucumber was swollen and red, and beautiful frost flowers spread on its body. Its slightly sharp thorns were as translucent as gelatin, and it felt a little bit irritating to the touch.
"How did this old man do it... He doesn't know how to do it..."
Lin Chou used a cold iron knife to insert a knife into the belly of the sea cucumber near the anus, and cut a small opening vertically, which was about one third of the length of the sea cucumber body. After taking out a piece of intestine, you can see the golden sea cucumber seeds.
.
Sea cucumber seeds are golden yellow in color and look like strings of slender, soft miniature wheat ears connected together. The sea cucumber seeds are spread out in the sea water in the water bag, and they float continuously with the water like a flower blooming in the water.
The chrysanthemum is called sea cucumber flower or simply called ginseng flower because of this.
The ginseng flowers taken out from one sea cucumber look as large as a flat plate of normal size, which is particularly spectacular.
Lin Chou thought about it. There was something wrong. One sea cucumber had so many ginseng flowers, so wouldn't it be okay to hide it privately?
emmm, you shouldn’t be able to tell it!
...
Three minutes later, Lin Chou appeared in front of the old man holding a tray.
The old man raised his head and looked at the items on the plate, and suddenly became angry.
"You kid, what are you doing?"
On the tray were lined up a row of large teacups equal to the number of people present, and in the middle was a small purple sand stove with only pine cones burning. On top was a teapot made of the same material. The water in the pot was steaming and had already boiled.
The old man said angrily,
"You've been in the back for so long, and you just boiled a pot of water and you're planning to fool the old man that I'm here?"
Lin Chou placed the tray on the table,
"Old man, you said you wanted 'boiled water', so how can you say that I deceived you?"
The old man was stunned, opened the lid of the small pot, looked at it, and smelled it.
"Well, it's really 'boiling water'. Your 'water' is not bad, it's really good!"
The soup of boiled cabbage looks like tea and smells like water. Only when you taste it in your mouth can you taste its real richness and sweetness.
There is half a golden ginseng flower in each tea cup, dotted with a small lavender flower no bigger than a grain of rice. It seems to have been seasoned in some way, so that the ginseng flower looks better than before.
The sea cucumber is slightly sticky when taken out from the belly.
The old man frowned and looked for a long time but couldn't see anything. He was too embarrassed to ask, so he continued stroking his beard as calm as a mountain.
Ye Yu asked,
"Tea?"
Lin Chou took off the small purple clay pot and held it in his hand with a smile.
"Let's just say it's tea, ginseng flower tea."
"Hey, I'm lucky today. Even though the bright light is backed by the dark sea, I have only seen sea cucumber flowers twice since I was a child, let alone the first-order red sea cucumber."
Ye Feng sniffed and his eyes lit up.
Lin Chou suddenly said strangely,
"Hey, aren't you a 'vegetarian'..."
Ye Feng glared angrily, and spoke in a strange tone for a while, speaking in a language that no one could understand.
Lin Chou scratched his head,
"Do you mean to refute? But I remember correctly..." (To be continued)
