Chapter 350: Dragon and Phoenix Blessings
"You're still so polite to me." Claire smiled, picked up the chopsticks casually, picked out a piece of golden-colored, fragrant and oily meat from the plate, followed it with the other hand, and raised it to Tang Fang's mouth Bian: "This is the Chinese dish that Zhou Aixin taught me. It tastes pretty good. Come, have a taste."
"En." Tang Fang nodded, put it in his mouth with a smile, and chewed slightly, the juice was overflowing, his mouth was full of lubricity, and the umami taste flowed into his throat along with the meat juice, and the fragrance was strong in his mouth and nose, which lasted for a long time.
"Not bad, not bad." After a long aftertaste, he couldn't help admiring loudly: "With this dish, my Claire is not far behind those chefs."
"Tch, who is your Claire, who is taking advantage of me." Claire gave him a hard look, and the flashing blue light of the touch screen of the workbench in the standby state made her eyes move like a deep spring. .
"Haha..." Tang Fang said haha, without embarrassment. This kind of flirting between the two of them has long been used to, not to mention the parties involved, even Tang Lin, Bai Hao and others have already seen it.
"By the way, you said that Zhou Ai taught you this." Tang Fang pointed to the delicious dishes in front of him: "Is there anything famous about it?"
Claire put down her chopsticks: "The name, what's it called..." After thinking for a while, her eyes suddenly lit up: "I remember it's called...'Longfeng Chengxiang', yes it's 'Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang'."
"Dragon and Phoenix presented?" Tang Fang plucked the meat on the plate. As expected, he picked up another piece and put it in his mouth. After chewing a few mouthfuls, he praised: "The name is good, and the taste is good, as expected of Zhou Ai."
"So, do you like it? After that, I will often do it for you, okay?"
"That's a good relationship." Tang Fang chuckled: "Is this a small matter?"
Claire seemed to have never heard of it, and muttered to herself: "The only fly in the ointment is that the supplies returned by Granta are only refrigerated chicken, not black-bone chicken. Zhou Ai said that black-bone chicken would be better as another ingredient of this dish. "
"Black-bone chicken?" Tang Fang couldn't help laughing bitterly, in this era of great integration of Chinese and Western nations. Authentic Chinese food, French food, Japanese food and so on have become famous and expensive cuisines, except for special festivals such as treating guests, celebrating festivals, entertaining relatives and friends, and various anniversaries. The average working family just cooks some fast food casually to get by.
Only a descendant of nobles like Zhou Ai would be so contemptuous of such precious ingredients as "black-bone chicken". I think it is like Chinese cabbage in winter, a dime a catty.
For example, his hometown, Caronesburg in Rector, even in such a second-tier city, black-bone chicken is not sold in general food supermarkets, and can only be bought in large shopping malls in the city center.
"This guy,
What a tricky mouth! It's good to have meat. Tang Fang slandered casually, and picked up another long piece of meat. After carefully looking at it, he put it in his mouth and asked, "Since the phoenix is chicken, what about this one?" Fish? eel? It doesn't look like it...the taste is also a bit different. "
"It's snake meat." Claire squinted at him, "Usually she's smart, but why is she so stupid at critical moments."
Tang Fang glared, and rolled her eyes back: "Haven't you heard the allusion of the carp jumping over the dragon's gate?"
"Hmph, sophistry." Claire refused to let go, but she picked up the white porcelain bowl and held it flat in front of Tang Fang: "Hurry up, the porridge is getting cold."
"Oh, oh." Tang Fang agreed. As soon as he took it, he drank it in a nonchalant "gulp" and wiped his mouth when he was done. Picked up another piece of snake meat: "Don't tell me, Zhou Ai's cooking skills are really good. This snake meat is processed, tsk, tsk, there is no fishy smell at all, it is simply delicious in the world, a peerless delicacy, even if you eat four meals a day. Not tired."
The corners of Claire's mouth curled up. There is a line of bright jade between the lips, and a few naughty blond hairs hang down on the cheeks. Yangchun Baixue is general. "Well, indeed. Zhou Ai's cooking skills are very good. However, she also said that the good taste is mainly related to the ingredients."
"Well, snake meat... Grant, that guy, he won't move all the meat from the Syrbes starport."
"That's not true." Claire shook her head: "Grant only brought some common meat products such as beef, chicken, and pork. The snake meat was obtained by Zhou Ai."
"Zhou Ai got it? I can't tell, she's quite capable." Tang Fang smiled knowingly. Ordinary girls, if they saw snakes, lizards, etc., they would have screamed and fled. Only girls with a personality like Zhou Ai would dare to catch them and eat them. Um? Catching snakes for food? Wait, Zhou Ai was rescued from Silbero Naval Port by himself, and he has never even been to the inland area of Rector. Where did he go to catch snakes?
At this moment, Claire shook her head: "You forgot, when you entered the relay station a few months ago..."
Tang Fang was stunned for a moment. He spat out the snake meat that he had chewed carefully, pointed to the sliced meat on the plate, and said with a pale face, "You... you mean, this... this is the giant snake. ...a giant snake?"
"That's right, that's right." Claire nodded: "It tastes pretty good, isn't it? Valentine saw the giant snake's corpse before, and was moved to do some research. So he ordered Moriton and Caroline to collect samples. It just so happened that Zhou Ai has nothing to do, she is going to see the giant snake, after that, she had a whim..."
"A sudden whim? A sudden whim!" Before she could finish speaking, Tang Fang suppressed the churning in his stomach, and interrupted: "He had a sudden whim, and you just let her do whatever she wants? This girl is trying to die. It's too fat. That giant snake is not a domestic pet. I think it died after being hit by hundreds of widow mines. Such a big guy, an epic creature, you actually use it to cook? Don't be afraid to give it to me. poison?"
Claire smiled and waved her hand and said, "Valentin said, it's okay, he has tested the snake meat, it is absolutely non-toxic and pollution-free, you can use it with confidence."
Yes, these two crazy women. The corners of Tang Fang's mouth twitched angrily. In just half a day, Claire, a kind and gentle girl, was driven mad by that woman. No one knows the origin of the giant snake, but he is very clear about one thing, including the centipede monster, the evil eye, and the giant snake, all of which grew up on a zero-vegetarian diet.
Can this tm be eaten? Have you eaten enough to digest? If there is any adverse reaction, damn it, if you go to the latrine a hundred times a night, you will be killed.
"By the way, I don't know if the half of the mushroom cap you left in the entrance cabin of the ruins is still there, why don't you show it to Valentine tomorrow, if it's not poisonous..."
At this moment, Claire's murmurs drifted into her ears. Tang Fang looked up, the expression on the girl's face was serious.
He knew it wasn't a joke. Absolutely not kidding!
"Zhou Ai, you bastard. What kind of soup did you feed her..."
Just when Tang Fang lamented that the world is going down, people's hearts are not old, and the virtuous girl he trained with great difficulty was taken away by Zhou Ai in a blink of an eye.
On the second floor of the Morning Star, in another room more than 20 meters away from the captain's cabin, Zhou Ai, who had just finished his supper and slept, suddenly turned over and sat up. It wasn't indigestion from eating the giant snake's meat as Tang Fang was worried about, nor was it sleepwalking, she suddenly felt hot all over. The skin was still a little itchy, and there was a fire burning in the pit of the heart.
As the grandson of the Marquis, Zhou Ai received noble education since childhood. However, this "noble" is not that "noble". As a descendant of Yan and Huang, Zhou Hanlin is not interested in Western etiquette. Of course, he will not be so pedantic that he will arrange for his descendants to study poetry, classics, and Huang Lao's learning. For example, the aristocratic education that Zhou Ai received is based on practicality, including survival in the wild, first aid in the field, traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, cooking skills, knowledge of firearms, engineering, geography... and so on.
Joey was talkative before. During dinner, he flaunted himself as a senior figure in front of Bai Hao and Roy, and followed Tang Fang since Crotan. While chatting about the experience of the relay station, I learned that there is still a giant snake corpse in the outer ring area that has not been disposed of. Valentine, who was born in biology, showed great interest.
After dinner, seeing Joey taking Valentine to find the corpse of the giant snake, Zhou Aisuo took Claire to join in the fun anyway. Afterwards, when she got to the place where the giant snake was buried, and saw such a huge monster, she suddenly had a whim, but she didn't know how such a big snake tasted like?
As a descendant of Yanhuang. The dragon culture is deeply rooted in the bone marrow. Although Zhou Ai knew that the creature "dragon" did not exist, it was just something invented by the sages. But the idea that "dragon meat and phoenix marrow are rare treasures" still inevitably took root in my heart.
Such an epic snake. Even if it can't be called a "dragon", it can still be called a "jiao".
It can be seen from the fact that he killed Ladios and others recklessly in a fit of anger. Zhou Ai is not only a ruthless person, but also extraordinary in courage. Seeing that the snake corpse was still fresh and fresh, she couldn't help but have a bold and absurd idea, she would be the first person to eat crabs.
The "White Bone Empress" is obsessed with wanting to eat Tang's monk meat, so she should wash it dry, slice it with a knife and debone it, and then steam it in a steamer. When Tang Fang fought the giant snake before, even the plasma cannon of the siege tank could not hit the giant snake seriously. It is conceivable how strong its defense is.
However, what surprised Joey and Walton was that when the giant snake was alive, it looked like an iron cloth shirt with a golden bell cover, invulnerable to weapons and guns, water and fire. There is no difference between ordinary beasts. The knife easily cuts through the flesh and cuts the hundreds of meters long giant snake into several sections.
Under Zhou Ai's strong request, Valentine selected some samples and used the medical equipment on the Morningstar to conduct tests. It was found that the snake meat had a high energy level, and the gene chain had the same triple helix structure as the evil eye. In terms of aspects, there are no toxic side effects.
Ever since, Zhou Ai got his wish and became the first person to eat "crabs". Not to mention, the edible value of the giant snake is very high, the meat is delicious and plump, without the earthy smell of ordinary snakes, it is really a top-quality food.
Naturally, she would not enjoy such a good thing to herself. Claire was dragged into the water logically and became the second person to eat "crabs".
Since the quality of snake meat is so good, what about snake gallbladder? Zhou Ai, who has studied Chinese medicine, knows the function of snake gallbladder, which can dispel wind and dampness, cool and improve eyesight, detoxify and remove prickly heat, and delay aging.
Next, after teaching Claire how to cook snake meat dishes, she returned to the outer ring area alone to search for snake gall inside the giant snake's huge carcass for use as medicine.
However, what she didn't expect was that the giant snake was so huge that after searching for a long time, she couldn't find the gallbladder. Finally, after searching for a long time in its abdomen, she only found a silkworm cocoon that looked like an egg but was light blue in color. organs.
Zhou Ai thought it was the gallbladder of the giant snake, and took it to Valentine for analysis of the slices, followed by a toxicological experiment. After reaching the conclusion that it was non-toxic, she hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't resist the temptation, so she steamed it , swallowed whole.
Tang Fang was with Freya at the time, and he didn't know what happened after the dinner. If he had been there, he would have scolded this daring female man to death, it would be death!
As everyone knows, this is a kind of ethos, which only exists in the martial arts culture of military families in the imperial aristocratic circle. Since humans rushed out of the earth. There are thousands of star systems that have been explored, and it is inevitable to encounter some native creatures.
As the old saying goes, the world of foodies. It is difficult for ordinary people to understand. During the period of the federal government, the political, social, and life situations were relatively stable. Due to the impact of various factors such as Epsilon technology, alien species, and the cosmic environment, it is inevitable that some special phenomena will appear in all walks of life. On the issue of "eating", it is natural to keep in line with the times and keep pace with the development of civilization. As a result, some wonderful "gourmets" appeared, and their goal was all edible but non-toxic ingredients in the sea of stars.
Of course, there are not many such "gourmets" who are determined to dedicate their lives to the art of "eating". after. The federal government collapsed, all heroes rose together, and troubled times came. The number of "civilian gourmets" who have no worries about food and clothing and live for their dreams has dropped sharply. In Monya, this kind of thing has become the exclusive hobby of some idle and painful imperial nobles.
Especially among the younger generation of aristocratic children, some hot-blooded and brainy guys always like to show their bravery and publicity by eating those strange alien ingredients with strange shapes and unique tastes.
A ruthless character like Zhou Ai, a female man, is naturally unwilling to lag behind. Over time, he became an out-and-out "foodie". Of course, this is only one of the reasons why she eats "snake gall".
Dafan girl's house. Whether it's a woman who picks her feet, or a golden branch and jade leaf, a peerless beauty. Who doesn't want to stay young forever and look ageless. Ordinary snake gallbladder has the effect of delaying aging, but what about this epic giant snake? You must know that after studying the tissue slices of the giant snake, Valentine concluded that although the dna structure of the epic giant snake is a rare triple helix, there are shadows of earth snakes in the sequence of certain gene fragments.
Snake meat is non-toxic and harmless. The taste is delicious; snake gall is good for the body and mind, and can delay aging; plus the wonderful eating habits developed over the years. Hence the three elements. From Zhou Ai's point of view, it is understandable to do so.
only. She overlooked one thing. The giant snake is not an ordinary alien life form. It is much stronger than the general Zerg unit in StarCraft. The snake meat and snake gall may be non-toxic and harmless, but it does not mean that they have no side effects and sequelae. .
Just like the current her, in just a few breaths, she was already sweating profusely and trembling all over, her originally white and tender cheeks were flushed, like a drunken beauty.
The color is light blue, and the lines as thin as hair spread from the chest to the surroundings, winding and wandering under the pale pink skin, which looks extraordinarily strange.
"Huh, huh..." Zhou Ai regretted it, she was too reckless, thinking about the absurd things she did today, it didn't match her character at all. Joined the army for 2 years, experienced a marriage change, escaped from the stars, and was imprisoned for more than half a year. On the 5th planet, she met Tang Fang. Along the way, she is no longer the young and vigorous woman she used to be. Spitfire Girl With Wine. Logically speaking, such a reckless act should never be done.
what is it today? It's like... like a marionette.
"What's going on here?" Zhou Ai couldn't figure it out, and felt his body was like a flame, and the blood all over his body was boiling. The light blue texture diverges along the meridians, and every time it moves, it's like a needle is provoking the pain-sensitive nerve.
With a "plop", she fell off the bed and fell heavily on the ground.
She began to lose control of her body, and she couldn't even call for help. Every time she raised her breath, the words reached her throat, but she couldn't cry out, and finally turned into a weak panting. Slowly, the touches of light blue submerged her like a tide.
The originally dilated pupils began to constrict, twist, and then slowly rotate, like amber nebulae in violent motion. And her skin, which began to radiate a pink-blue bicolor halo.
In the end, Zhou Ai couldn't even control his facial expressions, and the distorted facial features returned to their original positions. The sweat dripped from his forehead, which was reflected by the pink and blue two-color halo on his skin.
From the outside, she looks like a human-shaped neon sign, emitting a soft and colorful iridescent light, so charming and beautiful.
However, on the spiritual level, waves of continuous pain hit her sensitive nerves one after another. At this time, Zhou Ai wished someone would kill her with a knife to end this inhuman torture.
Finally, as the light diffused outside the body turned into a river, a wave of pain that was a hundred times stronger than before hit, the girl couldn't bear it, she felt her eyes darken, as if she had fallen into an abyss, and she passed out completely.
...
"Ding dong!"
I don't know how long it took, ten minutes? fifteen minutes? Or an hour? A doorbell rang.
In a trance, there seemed to be ten thousand deep voices exploding in my ears, and some seven-color lights and shadows wandered back and forth like ghosts in front of my eyes.
"I'm still alive?" The muffled echo echoed in his ears, Zhou Aiqiang pulled himself together, and exhaled a long breath of stale air from his lungs. When his strength recovered a little, he struggled to twist his body, and stood up straight with the edge of the bed.
"Ding dong, ding dong..." The ringing of the bell continued, and the monitor on the door showed a pretty face, but with a little hesitation.
"It's Linglong, why is she here?"
"Huhu..." Zhou Ai took a few quick breaths, supported the edge of the bed with both hands and stood up slowly. She didn't rush to open the door, but walked to the mirror at the end of the bed and carefully looked at herself in the glasses. (to be continued)
