Chapter 50 The man of the sea
"tasty!"
We first picked up the giant fish grilled white meat that Gu Le Gu highly recommended.
This piece of white meat has been grilled until it is golden brown all over, with clear lines, and it looks full of delicious food. When you take a bite, the crispy skin bursts instantly, revealing the tender white fish meat inside, with a slight oil leaking out.
Moisturizes lips.
I just felt that the crispy exterior of the piece of fish had just finished giving off the caramel aroma, and the fatness inside instantly occupied all the taste, mixing the two flavors together to form a wonderful storm of deliciousness.
The salty taste of the fish itself, after being grilled to a certain extent, is already the best seasoning. The natural salty taste and soft meaty taste, as well as a hint of the fishy smell of the fish itself, make the whole dish
A piece of roasted meat becomes a rich gourmet temptation, and the sensation changes with every bite.
"It's so delicious! Let's bake it more!" Zach was the first to express his opinion. Such a small amount of fish is simply not enough to eat.
Lin also ate the white meat of the grilled giant fish pitifully in her hand. She was afraid that she would not be able to eat such a thing accidentally, but she still divided half of it and handed it to me: "Marcus, I'm sorry just now, this is for you~"
I had just recovered from the severe pain in my eyes. Maybe it was the loss of vision that made my sense of taste sharper, or maybe it was the superb cooking skills in my system that inspired me. I said to Lin: "You can eat it.
Gu Le Gu must have been specially measured. If you eat too much or too little, you won’t feel as delicious as it should be.”
Sure enough, Gu Legu said to me with excitement.
"Yes! Master Marcus, you are really awesome! The white meat of giant fish is relatively greasy. I grilled it first to evaporate the excess oil and preserve the essence inside. But if you eat too much, you will notice the shortcomings."
"And when cutting it, cutting it thin and then grilling it will make the fish taste too dry, and cutting it too thick will make the fish greasy. This is my secret recipe!"
"Awesome! Your method of cooking is unique, isn't it?" I exclaimed. His use of local ingredients in cooking has reached perfection.
"Hey, try this again!"
Gu Legu also motioned for everyone to try the freshly baked giant fish red meat.
This piece of red meat is obviously different from white meat. Because there are more blood vessels in the fish meat, the color of the red meat is transparent and the texture is softer.
However, after Gulegu was grilled on the barbecue grill with fierce fire, the overall color has turned dark brown, and the appearance is also covered with unique lines of the iron frame, making it look beautiful and elegant.
What attracts us the most is the overflowing aroma.
This aroma is not as restrained and soft as that of white meat. Instead, it is so strong that it hits your nostrils, and the entire taste is occupied by the aroma. Relying on the fat left by the white meat, the fire of the barbecue grill did not burn the entire fish, and Gu Le Gu flipped it just right.
The doneness of each side is controlled just right.
And the same goes for the taste in the mouth.
The entire piece of exaggeratedly thick-cut red meat has a complete taste inside and out, and the meat is full of chewy texture. After one bite, it bounces around the teeth and breaks into fibers, suddenly blooming on the tongue.
This wonderful taste should appear on beef and mutton, not on such a fish. But it just appeared so reasonably and unexpectedly.
We immediately devoted ourselves to eating grilled fish and red meat, and even Gu Legu looked happy with it.
"Hey, why do you, the chef, have so many expressions?" Zach complained.
"I just love to eat! I will never tire of eating fish like this! Otherwise, why would I keep improving my research!" Gu Legu defended inarticulately.
Finally, all four of us completed the task and ate all the fish and meat. Only Zach looked like he was still unsatisfied.
"I miss you so much! That's how you cooked for us on the ship. We all ate while we were grabbing it. By the time you found out, there was nothing left!"
Zach laughed and talked about my past. Sure enough, excellent cooking can make people feel good.
So Zack’s thalassophobia doesn’t involve ocean fish? That’s a blessing.
"Hahahahaha." Gu Legu said with a smile, looking at the sky and remembering the past days, "I didn't know how to be a sailor at that time, and it was you who taught me how to fish. I would walk to the bow of the boat every day with my fishing rod.
, throw the line, and then lie there and look at the clouds, and the whole day will be spent watching them.”
"Zach, what business did you run before? Delivery?" I asked curiously.
Zach shook his head and pointed to the sea over there.
"Our Voyager Alliance is divided into two categories. One category is waterfowl boats with fixed routes, which regularly cruise on existing routes."
"We are a raven ship belonging to the free route, facing the storm, crossing life and death, looking for infinite new paths!"
Zach and Gulegu laughed, and then added: "Even this place under your feet was discovered by our ravens in the storm."
The Voyager Alliance were the ones who transported the first batch of miners to the island. I still remember this, but I didn’t expect Zach to know about it.
"How long ago was that?" Lin asked exactly what I wanted to know.
"Oh, that seems to have been forty or fifty years ago. The navigators at that time had all retired for a long time. I heard that the old captain of our seagoing ship was also a member of the ship."
Gu Legu also interrupted.
"At that time, we were still fighting against the trust groups, and the open sea route was our only hope. Forty or fifty raven ships set out at the same time, and the total blockade was broken."
That's right! The Trust Group is the organization that originally enslaved the miners. This was also made very clear in the monologue.
I quickly asked: "What's going on behind the scenes?"
Zach touched his head and said: "The back? We will be officially independent. That's what you see."
"No, I mean Ore Town, what happened next?"
"What else can it do? It rose quickly and declined quickly, just like most industrial towns at that time. Their dreams of getting rich were crushed by the interstellar mining industry, and residents returned to the federal territory one after another."
I asked a few more questions and found that Zach and Gu Legu, as outsiders, really didn’t understand them, so I gave up and continued to ask questions.
Can they know this because of the records of the Voyager Alliance? Maybe I can focus on this organization?
"By the way, Master! You haven't answered me yet. How much will I give you to sell me the materials?"
Gu Legu finally remembered the purpose of his coming here and asked quickly.
I thought for a moment and realized that I really didn't understand the prices here.
The boss said that he would charge me 800 yuan for a set meal, which should be equivalent to the price of goods in Japan in the previous life. So, 3,000 yuan for a bow is not too much, right? It can’t be too low based on the raw materials...
"How many do you need?" I asked.
Gu Legu thought for a while and looked at the size of the short bow.
"It takes about ten handfuls of this material."
Ten times three thousand dollars...
"Then I'll give you 30,000G for those ten, right?"
"Thirty thousand? Deal!"
When Gu Legu heard this, he immediately took out his wallet!
Why are you so straightforward? Am I missing something?
But the next moment, my expression changed from doubt to happiness, and I was already holding a thick stack of banknotes in my hand!
Chapter completed!
