Chapter 989: Breakthrough! (1/2)
”My father is not interested in all kinds of addictive cigarettes, alcohol and psychedelic drugs. He is not too keen on female **** and gambling. He is not even crazy about cultivation. He rarely has any unchanging habits. The only thing I like to enjoy after the daily work is ”Star-spotted Red Flame Oysters” as a supper.”
Li Yao raised his eyebrows: ”Star-spotted Red Flame Oyster, what is that, is it precious?”
”It can't be said to be too precious.”
Jin Xinyue said: ”The star-spotted red flame oyster is a shellfish that grows in a bay ”Red Flame Bay” on the coast of Jinwu country. The meat is fresh and tender, and the juice is rich. Just dip in the local sea water.”
”It is said that there is a semi-dormant volcano on the seabed of Chiyan Bay. The special minerals ejected from the seabed volcano give the sea water here a unique taste, which gives birth to this kind of delicacy, but I am It’s not very good to eat.”,
”The star-spotted red flame oyster is a very popular food among the nobles of the Golden Crow country, not because of its taste, but because it is not interesting to eat.”
”First of all, the shell of the star-spotted red flame oyster has patterns like flames and meteors. Each star-spotted red flame oyster has a completely different pattern. You can enjoy it before eating it, and even use shells to make each Planting bonsai and decoration is very elegant.”
”Secondly, the two shells of the star-spotted red flame oyster are closed tightly. You must use special techniques and patience to manipulate the shell knife and pry it open bit by bit. If the technique is proficient, it will emit a very pleasant crispness when opened. Loudness is a kind of spiritual enjoyment. If you use brute force to pull it away, you won't be able to hear such a moving sound.”
”The most important thing is that occasionally, in the flesh of the star-spotted red flame oyster, there will be a kind of crystals similar to pearls. We call it'Chi Zhu'. Chi Zhu is not a treasure, let alone a lot of it contains a lot of it like'Demon Pill' An extraordinary treasure of psychic energy, but it is radiant and beautiful. There are strands of lines like living creatures in it. When facing the light, every angle can inspire different patterns, which is gorgeous to the extreme.”
”The traditional custom of the Golden Crow country believes that it is very auspicious to eat'red beads' in star-spotted red flame oysters. In ancient times, red beads were even used for divination to determine good or bad records.”
”Therefore, many Feather clan powerhouses have the habit of eating star-spotted red flame oysters every day. Rather than coveting that kind of delicacy, they use the cumbersome eating process and the elegance of playing with shells and red beads to soothe it. Highly nervous!”
”My father is no exception. Although he looks like a machine, he is a man after all. He is intriguing and has a lot of opportunities. He will inevitably be mentally stressed and exhausted. So eating some star-spotted red oysters every night may be special. Relax.”
Li Yao squinted his eyes, the stars under his eyes jumped like flames, and he muttered, ”Is there any characteristics of the star-spotted red flame oyster your father ate? Is it the same as others?”
Jin Xinyue seriously pondered for a while: ”The star-spotted red flame oyster grows only in Chiyan Bay. Because it depends on the nourishment of the submarine volcano, it cannot be cultivated artificially, and the output is extremely small.”
”My father is the patriarch of the feather clan. Of course, he has the largest body, the most gorgeous appearance, or the old fishermen who judged that they are most likely to form'Red Beads,' and he specially provided him to enjoy them.”
Li Yao asked again: ”Then you guess, after your father became the commander of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance, and stayed away from the Golden Crow Nation, will he still keep this habit?”
Jin Xinyue nodded: ”It should be. Before he became the commander of the Ten Thousand Demon Coalition Army, my father would often go to Tongtian City to handle official duties, and even stay in Tongtian City. At that time, there would be flying monsters that were specially transported to him by air. The star-spotted red flame oysters, anyway, our Golden Crow country controls the air power, and it is also convenient for air transportation. It doesn't cost much. As the feather clan chief, this hobby is not a luxury.”
Li Yao blinked: ”It must be shipped by air every day, not once every two or three days?”
Jin Xinyue smiled and said: ”Master does not know that the red flame star spotted oyster is the most delicate food. Once it leaves the seawater of its native place, it will degenerate within a few hours. Even if it is soaked in native seawater, It won’t last a day, no matter how you use the fresh-keeping symbol array to store it.”
”With the Frozen Talisman, it can be stored for a longer period of time, but if it is frozen and then thawed, the original flavor will be lost. With my father's identity and status, how could it be possible to eat such a thing?”
”So, when he lived in Tongtian City, he was rushed by flying monsters eight thousand miles every evening, and even continued to relay through the teleportation array to ensure that the red flame star spotted oysters would be sent to him within two or three hours. The one in front of you!”
Hearing this, Li Yao finally let out a sigh of relief, and a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: ”So, after the red flame star spotted oyster is salvaged from the sea, it will be rushed to your father by eight thousand miles. To race against time, it is impossible to go through too many tests, right?”
Jin Xinyue was taken aback, her beautiful eyes widened, and she exclaimed, ”Master, you want to—”
Li Yao thought for a while and confirmed again: ”Is there a possibility that someone will pry open all the star-spotted red flame oysters first and present the shellfish directly to your father to enjoy?”
Jin Xinyue shook her head: ”It's absolutely impossible. We Golden Crow aristocrats enjoy star-spotted red flame oysters. What we want is the first appearance, and then slowly pry open the shells and look for the fun of'red bead', which is not true. Coveting such a bite of tender meat, prying it apart in advance, the shell meat has been exposed to the air for too long, the taste has changed, and all the fun has been deprived of it. Isn’t it the cow chewing the peonies and utterly horrifying the scenery?”
