Chapter 176: Small fish as long as a finger, kilograms?

[If you have been to Japan once, you will know that there is not a single delicious dish in the whole country! 】

The famous national dish Haggis is actually made by stuffing sheep offal into a sheep's stomach, including sheep stomach, sheep heart, sheep lungs, and sheep liver, and then cooking it.

This is a famous dish that the British are proud of, and the Chinese have another name for it, which is belly wrapped in meat!

In fact, only the mutton is of good quality, and the taste of the tripe meat is very good.

But this Haggis is obviously not good!
They are not as professional as the Chinese in processing mutton. The mutton has a strong fishy smell, and it is still black after being cut. No one knows what is added to it.

From the smell to the appearance, it's unpleasant!
The eel jelly was even more explosive.

This is a traditional English dish that originated in the eighteenth century.

They put the cut eel slices into the pot, add vinegar and cook them. The eel itself will secrete gelatin, which makes the soup gradually thicken and then solidify, becoming a jelly-like texture.

There is also a piece of eel in the middle, which is the eel jelly.

Not only does it look disgusting, but the taste is also terrible. I want to vomit just thinking about it!

After finishing the main meal, of course you have to have some dessert. Apart from anything else, the British are quite talented when it comes to desserts.

Just look at this Sussex pudding. Regardless of how it tastes, it looks pretty good.

At least it's bearable to look at, unlike the eel jelly, which looks like you're going to vomit.

In fact, it tastes good too.

But you thought it was over?

The British wanted to show off their culinary talents, so they actually added a whole lemon to the pudding!

Yes, a whole lemon!

It’s really hard to imagine the British people’s train of thought. Why add a whole lemon to the sweet pudding?

Is it for the refreshing scent of lemon?

Have you ever considered that lemons are sour?
The taste of the mushy peas was decent, but the appearance was truly explosive.

First soak the peas in baking soda overnight, then put the peas in a pan, add water and boil them. After cooking into a paste, add salt and black pepper to season.

Especially like a green indescribable object!
People who have never eaten the Starry Sky Pie will definitely yearn for it because the name is really nice.

Looking Up at the Stars, such a romantic name, it must taste great, I’m really looking forward to it!

But when they saw the finished product, everyone was shocked.

This is a pastry-based fish pie made with roasted sardines, eggs and potatoes. The ingredients don’t seem like much, but its shape is really speechless.

When making starry sky pie, the fish heads must be retained and they must be made to look up at the stars.

After all this time, the one looking up at the starry sky is not a human, but a salted fish!
They even made up a story about it.

A devil came to Daiying and found that the locals would make pies out of any ingredients, especially stargazing pies filled with fish heads.

It thought this pie was very strange, and people could eat it without hesitation, so the devil decided to escape from here before the locals planned to make a devil pie to eat.

I really don’t know what the British people are thinking.

As for the national dish with English in it, fish and chips, this is the only relatively normal dish.

The taste is actually OK, but there is nothing special about it.

It's so mediocre that you can find it in any restaurant on the street.

Can you even brag about this?
It's not comparable to Chinese cuisine at all!

Chen Lu also ordered red-scale fish, a very representative local delicacy of Mount Tai.

When it was served, there was a small fish and a tofu meatball. The focus was naturally on the small fish.

Anna picked up the small fish in surprise, and the fish was not even half the length of the chopsticks!

“This fish is so small.”

After seeing the price, she took a breath.

Why is a fish the size of a little finger sold at such a high price?

[Am I seeing right? This baby fish is so expensive? 】

[The Chinese are so cruel! They eat it before it grows up! ]

[Her Highness, have you been cheated? Why is this fish so expensive? ]

[Silly foreigners, don’t you understand? This is called Taishan red-scaled fish, one of the most expensive freshwater fish! ]

[And this fish is not stagnant. Judging from its size, it should be seven or eight years old! ]

"This is called Taishan Red Scale Fish. It's expensive because it's precious. It can't survive without Taishan water." Chen Lu explained with a smile.

The red-scaled fish of Mount Tai, the shad of Fuchun River, the huangyu of Qinghai Lake, the oil fish and bow fish of Bohai Sea are collectively known as the five tribute fish of China.

Since ancient times, red-scaled fish has been a delicacy in the imperial meals of emperors of all dynasties during their Fengshan ceremonies at Mount Tai.

Red-scaled fish has extremely strict requirements on water quality and can only live in mountain spring water.

It is also very sensitive to temperature, and is neither resistant to high temperatures nor cold temperatures. It will die of heat if the water temperature is higher than 28℃ in summer, and it will freeze to death if the water temperature is lower than 2℃ in winter.

The water used for aquaculture must also be from Mount Tai. Without Mount Tai water, the fish will die!

Don’t be fooled by the small size of this fish, it is actually seven or eight years old.

Red-scaled fish are usually less than 20 centimeters long and weigh no more than 100 grams, which is about half the size of a palm.

Because it grows extremely slowly, it can only grow to ten centimeters in seven or eight years. A twenty-centimeter red-scaled fish is already an ancestor level!
As for the price of red-scaled fish, it can easily be sold for ten thousand yuan per kilogram!

What bluefin tuna? Its price is really not as good as that of Taishan redfin tuna!

In other words, the growth conditions of the red-scaled fish are harsh. It will die if it leaves the water of Mount Tai. It can only be enjoyed by the Chinese, otherwise it would have been exported to earn foreign exchange long ago!
After the meal, both of them were very full.

Chen Lu had a big meal and made up for what he had missed in the Russian bear market.

Then Chen Lu took Anna to buy high-speed rail tickets and headed towards Beijing, preparing to take her to see the Forbidden City.

Last time I only went to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony and climbed the Great Wall, but I haven’t been to the Forbidden City yet.

How can you miss the Forbidden City when you go to Beijing?

The Forbidden City is not only one of the most magnificent architectural complexes in the world, but also contains a lot of hidden architecture and high-tech, which are difficult to replicate even with the current level of architecture.

Anna leaned back in her seat and began to reply to private messages from fans.

Suddenly I saw the message from Emma.

Anna clicked on the homepage and confirmed her identity as a fashion designer.

"Look, dear, she is a fashion designer who wants to work with you to incorporate elements of military coats into her designs and put them on the stage of Barry Fashion Week!"

Chen Lu took the phone and took a look at it.

Barrie Fashion Week?
This is the highest level fashion week in the world.

It can be said that the trends of the entire Western world are led by fashion week, and various famous brands will showcase their new products at fashion week.

If military coats really come on stage, they will definitely cause a storm!
