1166 Speciality Meal (1/2)
The third morning in Egypt arrived.
”Meow meow meow! You all went to the holy temple of Goddess Bastet? Is the goddess pretty? Is her chest big?”
In the morning, Snowy Lionet was already continuously chattering, feeling deep regret that it had not been able to see the Goddess' bountiful chest with its own eyes yesterday.
”We did not see anything at all. That place has already become a wasteland.”
Zhang Zian pushed open the door and entered.
He had just gone to Khan el-Khalili Market to buy breakfast and thank Lazart and his family for their generous car lending. Unfortunately, there was nothing on hand that could be a gift other than the Pinduoduo version of cooling ointment. He got over it and inquired about the address of Lazart's family secretly. He planned to send a gift when he returned home. After all, he was from a country of etiquette, and he couldn't let the Copts underestimate them.
In addition, when he went to the market, he was more careful. He was as sneaky as a burglar because he had inquired about it. The vendor nearby said that the local men he met on the first day who drank black tea and played mahjong had not come out for two days. The vendor wondered if they were sick.
Zhang Zian knew what kind of illness they had. The illness of the gentleman lay in his p*nis. If they didn't cure it, it might, regrettably, become worse!
”Meow meow meow! This servant does not need any other goddess! Your Majesty is this servant's goddess!” Snowy Lionet saw that Fina had also come in from the balcony and instantly expressed its loyalty.
Fina could not be bothered with Snowy Lionet right now. It took deep breaths and stared at the bag Zhang Zian was holding in his hand. It asked curiously, ”What smells so nice?”
”It seems to be something called a kofta and roast fish. I guess you're tired of eating roast pigeons, so I bought something else for a change.” Zhang Zian opened the bag and began to share breakfast with the elfins.
Kofta was another national meal to be ordered in Egypt. It was made with minced lamb, beef, or sometimes chicken, seasoned spices, and onions to make them into sticks or balls. It was then baked with iron sticks. After baking, it was served with celery or other seasonal vegetable dishes on the bottom of the dish. The dish was very filling, supplemented by potato chips or Egyptian pancakes. It would fully satisfy one's deep desire for meat.
The elfins besides Richard were carnivores, and when they smelled the kofta, they salivated. Even Snowy Lionet, who had been clamoring for raw brisket all day, wiped its mouth.
Nothing was wasted. Richard ate seasonal vegetables, and the elfins ate barbecued meat, French fries, and pancakes... What about Zhang Zian?
”Meow meow meow! What kind of sh*t is this? You stinky man! Are you trying to harm me?”
Snowy Lionet, who had a fanatical pursuit of meat, was not satisfied with eating kofta alone. It stealthily extended its claws towards the roast fish Zhang Zian had bought. In the end, it took a bite, wrinkled its face like it had eaten coptis chinensis, and spat out the roast fish.
”I haven't split that for you yet! Who asked you to make a move on it?” Zhang Zian asked.
Snowy Lionet kept spitting and ran to the bathroom to wash its tongue under the faucet, and it looked like it was very bitter.
The water made the long fur on its face and neck wet by quite a bit. If it had been in China, they would need to blow dry it instantly. However, this was Egypt, and it just needed to go to the balcony and lie in the sun for five minutes.
Fina carefully observed the roast fish for a while and asked in confusion, ”This fish… Why aren't the scales removed?”
”I only found out after I bought it. I can't throw it away,” Zhang Zian said helplessly. ”Who knew that the roast fish in Egypt wouldn't have their scales removed…”
Besides still having the scales, the grilled fish did not look very attractive. It looked like it had been cooked. Its skin and tail fins were burnt black. If it had been in China, it may have been rejected by picky eaters. But this was the specialty of Egypt. The cooking temperature was always a bit high.
