Chapter 2298 Gotham Music Festival (XI)

"Of course, the dishes are not finished yet. There is only one dish now." Wanda, who squeezed in later, looked at Bruce with some confusion, wondering why this Batman didn't look very smart.

"No, I mean this dish is not finished yet," Bruce looked back and said, "You guys are going to eat it like this?"

"What's wrong with that?" Wanda had already pulled the crab legs off. Jarvis next to her seemed to stop her but didn't. Wanda bit open the shell of the crab legs with a click. The moment the crab meat entered her mouth, she coughed violently twice, and then began to gasp wildly, her face almost turning as red as her hair.

"Shit, why is this so fucking spicy?? !! You stuffed a whole chili plantation in it?!!"

Magneto's face fell immediately, but suddenly he remembered that Professor X couldn't eat spicy food. If he ate it first, he would definitely cough from the spiciness. So let him curse. It's a good thing for young people to be brave enough to try. It's understandable that they have a bad temper.

Professor X hurriedly handed Wanda water, Jarvis patted her back, Wanda coughed for a while, frowned and pointed at the crab legs to Natasha, meaning you try it.

Natasha didn't believe it, she can eat spicy food very well, and because she has almost no sense of pain, she is not very sensitive to spiciness, and only very spicy things can make her feel a little spicy.

She also bit the crab legs with a snap, and took a breath of cold air in an instant. Although it was not very spicy for her, she knew that she could feel the burning pain on her tongue. This thing is not something that normal people can eat.

She looked at Bruce with a puzzled look on her face, and the unbelievable expression on her face was as if to say that making crabs so spicy, what are you Gotham people worried about?

"Crab legs are not the main dish, but the condiment." Bruce said helplessly: "I told you that the dishes are not finished yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter brought one plate after another of ingredients, one for each person, with a slice of butter puff pastry in the middle, a ball of sour cream cheese, green sauce, and two small pieces of basil leaves.

Jason began to work skillfully, spreading sour cream cheese evenly in the middle of the sliced ​​puff pastry, spreading two or three knives of sauce, putting basil leaves in, picking up the crab legs and biting them lightly, squeezing the meat inside to the middle, and then picking out a large piece of crab meat from the main part of the crab and coating it with curry sauce, scooping some crab roe with a spoon, and piled it all into the bread, opening his mouth as wide as possible and taking a bite, squinting his eyes and enjoying the chewing.

Professor X suddenly understood and his eyes fell on the yogurt cheese. Bruce introduced: "Although I don't know why, the peppers in Gotham grow harder than other plants, which makes them very spicy and almost inedible."

"But the people in Gotham love spicy food, so they will choose to use some peppers to pickle food, which can well alleviate the overly irritating spiciness. At the same time, they will add a lot of dairy products that can relieve spiciness, and add spices such as curry, parsley sauce, and basil leaves to make spicy and rich food."

"Of course, this is a more high-end way of eating. If it is a home-cooked dish, it is usually bread with cheese, spicy crab legs dipped in curry and eaten together, but adding some extra spiced crab meat and crab roe will taste better."

While learning Jason's operation, Schiller asked: "The core of this dish should be spicy crab legs, right? Is it a fisherman's recipe?"

"Yes and no, the crabs in Gotham are very It is very large and easy to catch, so it is still the main dish of fishermen. They have no shortage of crab meat, so no one usually eats crab legs. "

"Even so, there is still a lot of meat in the crab legs. When the boat arrives at the dock, there will be special vendors collecting crab legs, taking them back to pickle them into various flavors and selling them to residents. Because they are cheap and can be found everywhere, various ways of eating have been developed. "

Jason said while spreading the next piece of bread: "You can see a stall with crabs painted on it on almost every street in the East District. Usually they will hang colorful crab legs on the poles on the top. That is the stall selling pickled crab legs. In addition to this way of eating, I also like to eat raw onion crab leg salad. "

Schiller finally finished his first bread, and Natasha finished it almost at the same time as him. The female agent looked left and right and found that no one was paying attention to her, so she simply swallowed it like Jason, and Schiller did the same.

Then they all found that it was indeed as Bruce said, this was a very unique and rich flavor. The various flavors seemed to be a concert in the mouth, and people could hardly tell what was fragrant at first. Anyway, it was very fragrant, and the fragrance rushed straight from the nose to the brain.

After chewing it, you will find that the main fragrance is of course brought by the fat of dairy products. The yogurt cheese is very rich and tastes a bit like dry cheese. The milky flavor is the easiest fragrance for humans to distinguish. It can perfectly satisfy human appetite since primitive times.

Then there is the smell of various spices mixed together. In addition to the fragrance of curry, the celery sauce applied also has a very rich and indescribable fragrance, a bit like a forest condensed into a mouthful of sauce, but the taste of basil leaves is almost undetectable.

Next came the fresh and fragrant aroma brought by the crab meat and crab roe. The main body of the crab was not processed too much, and it was obviously not cooked with curry, but steamed first and then poured with curry, so the original sweetness of the ingredients was well preserved, and the crab roe was even more delicious and rich, with the ultimate freshness and fragrance.

The spicy taste that should have been very prominent was not highlighted until the last step, but it overwhelmed the crowd as soon as it came out, stimulating the taste buds to secrete a lot of saliva. In the end, it was fragrant, fresh and spicy. It’s hard to say why it’s delicious, anyway, it’s very simple and delicious.

For a while, no one spoke, and everyone stuffed one piece of bread after another into their mouths. The two plates of curry crab were quickly eaten up, and then the pickled crab leg salad that Jason mentioned was served, but it used green mango and white radish shreds, and the crab legs were not spicy, but pickled into a sweet and sour taste, mixed with chili and salt powder, just to relieve the greasy feeling brought by the cream.

Then came a large bowl of porridge, which Schiller found familiar. It looked a bit like the seafood casserole porridge in Chaoshan area, with a layer of rice oil floating on it, but there were no seafood in the porridge, and the seafood was served separately.

Schiller saw Bruce take a bowl of white porridge, scoop a spoonful of fried dried fish, two spoonfuls of green beans, a spoonful of fried fish skin, peanuts and green pepper rings.

Then he broke the heads of two large shrimps on another plate and squeezed the contents of the shrimp heads on the surface of the porridge. A layer of red oil immediately floated on the white porridge, then peeled the shrimps, threw the shrimp meat in, mixed them together, and added two drops of sesame oil.

Schiller became hungrier and hungrier. He knew how delicious this thing was just by looking at it, and obviously the others were the same, so they immediately served themselves a bowl of porridge and added everything they could.

Of course, this is the performance of outsiders. Gotham people are still picking and choosing. Pamela doesn't eat peanuts, so she took the small plate of peanuts off the plate. Jason used a spoon to crush the dried fish and fish skin into smaller pieces. Tim obviously doesn't like green peppers, and can't stand coriander, but he poured the two dishes into Jason's bowl.

Jason accepted everything. He grew up in the bottom of society and has a strong taste. He also snatched Tim's two shrimp heads and soaked them directly in the porridge. He scooped up the thick shrimp paste and shrimp oil and mixed it with the white porridge. After a large spoonful, he sighed with satisfaction.

Schiller also tasted a spoonful, and then couldn't help but sigh that Gotham people really know how to eat. Although it can be seen from this large porcelain basin with a blue and white porcelain pattern that this should be a masterpiece of Chinese chefs, Gotham seafood is indeed well-deserved.

Maybe because the living environment is too harsh, the seafood has to work hard to grow and accumulate nutrients to survive, so the seafood here is very fresh.

Normally, a bowl of porridge this big with a few spoonfuls of ingredients shouldn't taste anything, but the shrimp oil squeezed in by the two shrimp heads fills your mouth with a sweet and fresh taste, followed by the salty and fresh taste of the dried fish and a little fishy smell of the fish skin, which almost blends with the aroma of rice.

"How does it taste?" Bruce asked, looking at Schiller.

"Far beyond expectation." Schiller blew the porridge in the spoon and said, "Arrogance actually ate so well behind my back."

Bruce laughed and said, "The professor doesn't eat these."

"Yes, he usually can't accept these steps." Schiller shook his head and said, "Prefer to keep the status quo and not make changes."

"And he can't eat spicy food." Victor said while picking shrimp for his wife, "It's always the same three things, steak, salmon, stewed vegetables, and a glass of ice wine. He doesn't need to order at every restaurant he goes to."

"For me, anything that can stimulate the senses, I will try and accept it." Schiller stirred the porridge in the bowl and said, "But dopamine boiling will affect reason. Most Schillers don't like this feeling, so eating is like a task for us rather than enjoyment."

Direct Natasha, who drank the porridge in her bowl, let out a long breath and burped after putting it down. She said, "There is a Russian proverb that life without hot food is a kind of penance. Heat not only includes temperature, but also calories. The more oil, spices, salt and sugar, the better. If you don't have this simple happiness, you can't find so much elsewhere even if you spend ten times the effort."

"So I can't understand people who avoid enjoying happiness." Schiller's eyes stayed on Bruce's face for two seconds, then turned to look at Batman sitting behind him, and said, "Rejecting happiness and enjoyment is not a test of willpower. Accepting them naturally, letting the brain indulge in them, and then regaining reason when it is most needed, is the real life."

"Well said, toast to you." A glass of wine was handed over, and Schiller looked up along the arm and saw Constantine's face.

Bruce glanced at Victor, Victor glanced at Pamela, and Pamela glanced at Lex.

In an instant, several glasses of wine were extended to Schiller and said, "Cheers to you for your generosity."

Constantine's glass was completely pushed away, and Schiller didn't take it seriously. He clinked glasses with them, but only took a sip of wine and focused on other dishes on the table.

Constantine gave one person a dissatisfied look, and the others responded with a serious warning. Natasha was a little confused. She had some impression of Constantine, but she didn't know him well.

Pamela picked up her phone and started typing frantically. Soon Natasha's phone rang, and she picked it up and saw a long, dizzying text.

But soon another long string of text came in, and Natasha saw that the sender was Bruce. She had no time to think about how he had her number, and was completely shocked by the unspeakable things described in Bruce's text message.

She glanced at Bruce, her eyes seemed to say, "Are you serious?", and then she looked at Constantine, her eyes seemed to say, "Are you serious?"

Finally, the female agent looked at the ceiling in despair. If there is anything more difficult than stopping fish from biting sick hooks, it may be to stop greed from biting the hooks of mental patients.
