Godly Fisherman

"Worry about our food? Oh, I see, are you worried about eating dog meat or something?" Xiao Peng asked curiously.

Emilia shook her head: "No, one of the education we have received since childhood is food safety advice, which is something that every child must touch from childhood to adulthood. The eating habits of Chinese people are completely incompatible with the Stars and Stripes. Food safety recommendations. When I first came to China, I dared not eat many foods."

Xiao Peng asked curiously: "I don't see any food you dare not eat. You love everything I make."

Emilia shook her head: "That's because of the trust in you, dear. I believe you can only give me the best food. But before I eat some things, I remain skeptical. Let me give you an example. The simplest example: I didn’t dare to eat the crayfish you made at that time."

Xiao Peng looked speechless after hearing this: "My dear, don't you tease me? I remember you ate a small pot when I made you spicy crayfish for the first time."

Emilia took a photo of Xiao Peng after hearing this: "That's so delicious that you made! I am actually really afraid of eating crayfish. When I was in middle school, our school organized activities. At that time, the crayfish of Echo Lake It flooded, so we went to clean up the crayfish that had flooded there. Do you know how we dealt with the crayfish that were cleaned up?"

Xiao Peng shook his head.

Emilia explained: "Our country's Ministry of Agriculture has contacted several cold storage rooms and sent the caught crayfish to freeze to death."

"Puff." Xiao Peng sprayed: "Freeze the crayfish to death? Your brain circuits..."

Emilia said: "At the time they said that there are parasites on crayfish, and they must be killed by low-temperature quick freezing."

Xiao Peng extended his thumb: "Come closer to science! Believe in science! I said Emilia, wouldn't you ask how people in Louisiana solve this problem?"

Crayfish is flooded in many places in the 50 states of Star-Tangled Country, except for Louisiana, where crayfish is treated the same as China: not enough for people to eat.

As early as when the entire American continent was the Indians, the natives had a history of eating crayfish. In 1987, 90% of crayfish in the world were produced in Louisiana. Most of them are used for eating, and a few are used for feed. The annual production of crayfish in Louisiana now exceeds 50,000 tons, all from aquaculture.

Of course, it is incomparable with Huaxia, which now produces more than one million tons of crayfish every year. . . . . .

In fact, this is also related to the national conditions of the two countries. In China, almost all people like to eat crayfish, but in the Star-Tangled Nation, people in other places don't like crayfish except Louisiana.

The way people in Louisiana eat crayfish is a bit different from China.

The first way they eat it is to boil it in water. Wash the crayfish and put it in a large pot. Put the corn with the outer skin into the pot and cook with the peeled potatoes. The most important thing is: inside There is almost no condiments, just eat this original lobster.

Later it was the Vietnamese who improved their lobster taste.

After the Vietnam War, a large number of South Vietnamese have immigrated to Louisiana. They found that people here like to eat crayfish, so they adopted a new way of cooking crayfish: braised with butter oil, and then sprinkled with chopped garlic and other Spices.

This way of eating made the locals laugh for a long time, because from the appearance, the surface of the lobster looks like a layer of diarrhea, just like it has not been cleaned, so the locals call this crayfish'ugly 'Food' or'dirty food', refused to go to Vietnamese restaurants to eat this kind of crayfish.

But everything in the world can't escape the "True Fragrance Theorem". Some curious locals in Star Stripe tried this crayfish and were surprised to find that it was so delicious! So this Vietnamese-style crayfish is popular in Louisiana. However, in the past few decades, with the exception of Texas, which has nothing to eat crocodiles and snakes, the popularity of this crayfish in Stars and Stripes is still not widespread. The big reason is their ‘food safety advice’.

In China, those'primitive game' are the most popular among Chinese people, but in the Star-Tiao Country, wild food is not recommended, so there is something similar to'Asian carp overwhelming and crayfish overwhelming' .

Another example

In the food safety recommendations of the Stars and Stripes, it is rejected to put sodium glutamate in meals, which is considered to be unhealthy, but Chinese food cannot do without this sodium glutamate-that is, MSG.

Although this name sounds scary, in fact, many foods in nature naturally contain sodium glutamate, such as kelp, corn, wheat, sweet potatoes, and soybeans, including tomatoes and cheese that are commonly eaten by Westerners. It also exists naturally. Because of this, MSG is edible all over the world, but the people of Star Stripe believe that it is not safe. Even if you go to a Chinese restaurant to eat, they will remind you not to put MSG for fear of lower IQ.

This is purely frightening. The Chinese people have eaten MSG for nearly a hundred years and are still known as the smartest people in the world. What do you say in the West? ‘No matter how hard you work, there is always a Chinese person better than you’.

In fact, the biggest reason for such a gap in diet is the way of cooking.

Western food emphasizes cold, cooked and raw food, while Huaxia emphasizes hot food.

Hot food can better eliminate the bacteria remaining in the food, while cold food may have more or less bacteria. From this point of view, it is reasonable for Westerners to insist that wild animals cannot eat. The key is still the problem of cooking style gap.

Take crayfish as an example. Crayfish in the states of Star-Tiao Country are prone to cause health problems, but in Louisiana, where there are many Vietnamese immigrants who like cooked food, it will not cause any problems.

Emilia picked up the recipe, flipped through it, and said, "Speaking of crayfish, I want to eat it now. I don't know if there is any crayfish on the plane."

Xiao Peng shook his head: "How could there be crayfish on the plane? But the first-class cabin of Air China has an advantage. If you want Chinese food, there is Chinese food, and you want Western food and Western food, you can order according to your own taste."

Emilia flipped through the recipe: "Huh? I really didn't expect that there are simmered abalones with goose palms! My favorite food at Qianliyan is your simmered abalones with goose palms. I want to order one."

Xiao Peng tilted his head and looked at the recipe: "Emilia, I still suggest you don't order it."

"Why?" Emilia asked curiously.

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Can their cooking skills compare to mine?"

Emilia gave Xiao Peng a satellite eyeball: "Whenever you don't forget to brag to yourself. I have decided, I will eat it. Add another steak, what about you? What do you eat?"

Xiao Peng said: "I am not hungry at all, just ask for a champagne for me. I will learn Greek for a while."

He put on the headphones again, holding the book in his hand, but his eyes kept peeking at Emilia, he wanted to see Emilia's disappointed expression.

Because this simmered abalone with goose palm is an out-and-out ‘kung fu dish’: first, use dried abalone instead of fresh abalone, because it tastes more mellow. After soaking the dried abalone in cold water for 24 hours, blanch the old hen, pork, ham and goose paw with boiling water and deep-fry them until golden brown. Then put the fried hen, pork, ham, and goose. Put the palms and abalones in a boil, first cook on high heat for two hours, then turn to low heat for six hours. When the abalones are soft and tasteful, simmer on low heat for one hour. Finally, add starch to thicken and pour on the ingredients.

The most important thing about this dish is the ‘tasting’. The abalone tastes very good when it’s done, and it’s almost like eating rubber when it’s not done well. And this approach is the most guarantee of taste.

Xiao Peng didn’t believe that he could make this dish ‘tasty’ on an airplane. It was simmered in high fire and simmered slowly in low fire. How could it be so meticulous on an airplane? At best, it's pretty good.

Sure enough, simmering abalone with goose palms, the main dish that came with a few appetizers, and Emilia took a bite and put down her fork: "My dear, it tastes too different from what you cooked? It's not good at all. eat!"

Xiao Peng looked smug: "What do you think? Let me tell you that what I make for you is full of love! In order for you to eat this dish, I have to start preparing it nearly forty-eight hours in advance. Is it possible to do this? You eat this dish at home is delicious, does not mean it is also delicious here."

"Do you want to prepare so long in advance?" Emilia was startled when she heard that, Xiao Peng told her how to do this dish. Emilia was dumbfounded: "My dear, I have to eat this dish every day at home."

Xiao Peng said: "Yes, you know now

Why is this dish delicious? This is a pure Kung Fu dish, because you love to eat it, every day someone in the kitchen will give you this dish! "

Emilia spit out her little tongue: "You Huaxia people are really amazing. You have studied eating to the extreme!"

After hearing this, Xiao Peng smiled and shook his head: "What you said is correct, but if you are talking about this dish, then you are really wrong. This dish was really not a Chinese dish at first, but the source. The Middle Eastern halal dishes on the coast of the Persian Gulf were later transformed by the Chinese into what they are now."

After hearing this, Emilia suddenly realized: "So that's the case, huh? Can you eat abalone over there? I remember that they seem to have strict religious control."

Xiao Peng shrugged and said: "The fasting range of their seafood is not the same. Some places do not eat shellfish, sea cucumbers, crabs, and some places can eat them, but they must be made by people who believe in their religion. , Non-believers can't eat what they cook."

"Then their authentic goose palm simmered abalone is better than yours?" Emilia asked.

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "I'm not blowing this. You can throw them ten streets just now! Don't look at this lack of flavor, but at least the soup will throw them ten streets."

After hearing this, Emilia nodded, suddenly as if remembering something: "My dear, does this route take the Persian Gulf?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "Yes, really go over there, why? Don't tell me you are going to jump off the plane to taste the original goose-foot simmered abalone. That's too capricious, right?"

After hearing this, Emilia gave Xiao Peng a hygienic eyeball: "Am I a foodie like that? I am worried that the Persian Gulf is now chaotic. What can happen to our plane?"

Xiao Peng was delighted after hearing this: "You really deserve to have grown up in the Star-Stripe Nation, and you are also a persecuted paranoid! What can happen to the plane? You said the Star-Stripe Nation’s navy is demonstrating here? Don’t worry about those. Can't fight. Longyi's control over the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf is very strong, and the think tank of the Stars and Stripes is not a fool. It is absolutely impossible to come to scare people and start a war. No matter how much Apu messes around, he also knows , The Star-Spangled Nation needs only two things to become the second strongest country in the world: a local war and a trade war. Now that the trade war has been fought, what if the local war starts again? It's over, if one day comes, the wishes of California and Texas may be fulfilled!"

"What are their wishes?" Emilia was taken aback after hearing Xiao Peng's words.

Xiao Peng took a sip and said, "What else? Independent!"

Emilia patted herself on the forehead: "Why have you forgotten this? The people of Lone Star State have waited too long for this day. Hahahaha.

The American flag is rarely seen in Texas. They use a state flag with only one star, and they call themselves the "Lone Star State". The Xie Ear in "The Big Bang Theory" is a Texas native, and they call themselves "lonely" all day long. The Star Son' is for this reason.

But after listening to Xiao Peng’s enlightenment, Emilia was relieved, and simmered the abalone with the goose paw in front of her, saying: "After this, I will know how comfortable I have been in Qianliyan, dear, I If you let you become a fat man, you can't despise me!"

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "What are you thinking about all day long!"

Emilia shook her fingers and said: "What you said may make sense. I have delusions of persecution. For example, when I fly here, I am worried that missiles will be blown up. Bah, Bah, Tong Yanwu Avoid the strong wind, I didn’t say anything!"

Xiao Peng comforted: "Don't worry, baby, these international routes are very safe. Even if there is a war, the safest route will be planned without problems."

Emilia was relieved when Xiao Peng said so.

When Xiao Peng looked at Emilia, he suddenly thought of tricks, and saw him frown: "Unless..."

"Unless what?" Sure enough, Emilia was a little nervous after hearing Xiao Peng's words.

Xiao Peng smiled and said: "Unless someone stupidly hijacks the plane, otherwise there will be no accident. But the security check of China Aircraft is second to none in the world! What kind of hijacking do they use? Do you eat the abalone fork?"

As a result, as soon as his voice fell, he heard screams and broken glass from outside the box.

"Fuck it, didn't you let me say it?"
