Chapter 457： Official recognition method (2/2)
”Isn't this busy? It hasn't been long since I was just promoted, and I am waiting for my calculations. If they hadn't heard from somewhere that I was an acquaintance of Brother Lin, I might have to schedule this holiday until next year. ”
As soon as the two of them were about to sit down, Lin Chou went to the kitchen and took a few knapsacks, carrying a plate of black and white meat on the table.
”This, what is this stuff?”
Lin Chou pointed,
”Whale-tail sashimi is said to be quite special. Well, it's my first try. This is a chili sauce made of thyme grass and ginger. Let's try it.”
”Raw fish?”
Shan Ye cast his mouth in disgust,
”How fishy is this?”
Lin Chou picked up a piece of sashimi, the upper part was whale skin, black and shiny; the lower part was whale fat, which was shiny and translucent, and a layer of crystal fish oil leaked out of the surface, shining a very moving light.
”Well, this part is whale skin and fat sashimi, and the other part is whale tail sashimi. Before the cataclysm, there was actually a very long history of eating raw whales, such as the Inuit. Their other name is also Called Eskimo, Eskimo can be interpreted as a person who eats raw meat. For them, a baleen whale is a rare treasure. It can be preserved and eaten for several years without deteriorating if it is frozen in ice and snow.”
Shan Ye shook his head repeatedly,
”I'd rather eat beef, mouse, meat, and insects raw. I can't put this fishy thing in my mouth.”
Lin Sorrow said,
”You are prejudiced. Who says fish must be fishy?”
Zheng Huai didn't take it seriously. He took a piece of fat with whale skin and dipped it in the chili sauce and served it in his mouth.
”Crack, click.”
It can be heard from the sound, quite brittle and tough.
Zheng Huai nodded.
”Well, this smell is a bit of sea smell but not enough, the skin of a whale...it's not so thin, right?”
Lin Chou said,
”This is only the part that is close to the fat, and the rest has been disposed of. This whale is really too big. It has lived for at least several decades, and its skin is only a cubit thick.”
Zheng Huai nodded.
”It doesn't have much taste, it's neither delicious nor unpalatable.”
”Try the whale tail again.”
The appearance of the whale tail is much better, white and flawless, it looks like a slice of crisp white radish.
Most of the smaller fish have white flesh, except that there are two narrow ”red meat” on each side of the tail, which are dark or gray. This is due to the fact that they are closer to the fish’s **** and usually swim. It is caused by blood accumulation in the tail that needs to be forced to move.
But the whale tail is just the opposite. The whale's body is full of bright red meat, but only this part is white and flawless, like jade, which is particularly moving.
Zheng Huai tried it out,
”Well, this tastes good, how can I say it, the taste is a bit similar to oysters, it has a mineral fragrance... it is not fishy at all, except for the protein and special fats, it can hardly taste other flavors, more than whale skin and fat. That part is much better.”
”Hey, this kind of behemoth is full of sense of accomplishment when you eat it in your mouth. It's a mess, and it's okay to taste it fresh.”
Shan Ye said disdainfully,
”This thing can only be eaten like this?”
Lin Chou tasted a slice himself, and shook his head.
”Whale skin can be served cold, and whale tail should be stir-fried, but with this meat quality, it is estimated that it will be about the same as wild boar ears with crispy bones after being fried, and it will be very hard.”
”This smell reminds me of something.”
Zheng Huai asked,
”what?”
Lin Chou thought for a while,
”The yellow throat and whale tail have a taste very similar to that of the yellow throat, which is the aorta and heart tube of a pig or cow. It is brittle and tough.”
Zheng Huai thought, ”That's true.”
Lin Chou smiled,
”Yes, it seems that I have two more hot pot ingredients, not a loss.”
