Chapter 725: Roe is More Expensive Than Gold
The people who heard this introduction were actually more confused, why is this dish called black gold? Then I thought of the previous Jin Yu Mantang and Jin Si Huang Ju, although they both have the word 'gold', but obviously they have nothing to do with metal.
It is conceivable that this so-called black gold is not a metal, but something black.
"What is it, it can be described as 'gold', and the price is probably very expensive." Wang Yun thought about it, something black and very rare, even she couldn't think of what it was.
"I'm going to come up anyway, just take a look!" Cao Cao muttered in a low voice, vaguely remembering something, which Wang Yong had mentioned, but it was a bit long, I don't remember it very well, it seemed to be some kind of fish roe.
No, as the palace maids came over one after another, everyone had a small bowl in their hands, a very small bowl. At the same time, a soup spoon was also included, which was placed in front of the guests one after another, visible to the naked eye, it was a black mass, and I don't know what it was.
"One thing at a time...... Could it be fish roe? Lu Zhi looked at it, and then thought about it.
"The problem is that it's a little too stingy, isn't it? This bowl is estimated to be gone after only three spoons......" Wang Yun complained a little, especially this spoon, which is actually not very big.
"Black roe, what fish roe is black." Lu Zhi couldn't help but think about it.
"Sturgeon!" Cao Cao suddenly reacted, "I remember, Wang Yong said before that there is a kind of fish roe called sturgeon black caviar!" Wait, this thing is said to not be super expensive, and the house of all things has not been sold yet! ”
"What's that?" It's the first time Cao Ren has heard of this thing.
"It's nothing, it's mainly that someone used to say this thing during afternoon tea. It is said that foie gras and caviar are more popular in some extreme western places...... Among the caviar, the most delicious is the black caviar of sturgeon! Cao Cao thought for a while and said.
"Foie gras...... The foie gras doesn't taste good......" Cao Ren complained.
"It is said that it was raised by a special method, and one goose will take a liver, and the others will be discarded......" Cao Cao thought about it, and remembered that Wang Yong said so at that time.
"Super wasteful ......" Liu Bei is a little unimaginable.
"Foie gras aside...... This black caviar, I'm very curious! Cao Cao picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful, this thing is really rare, at most three spoons are gone, but it can also be seen that this thing is really expensive.
"Indeed, you will know if it is delicious or not!" Cao Ren also picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful, originally her habit was to take a mouthful, but now she heard that this thing is very expensive, so she slowly put it in her mouth, first took it, and then bit it down with her teeth.
The roe burst open in her mouth, releasing the characteristic umami of black caviar, as well as a vague sweetness, and a slight sourness, which is characteristic of pickled products, but not obvious.
"I feel that the fish roe burst in the mouth, and then all the deliciousness of the fish roe completely blooms at the moment of bursting, and the explosion one by one creates a unique food feeling...... Cao Hong slowly felt, "The key is that as more and more fish roe burst, the umami instantly converges into a torrent, and this umami is really a foul!" ”
"Yes, it's too ~~~ guilty ~~~ rules ~~" Cao Ren breathed a long sigh of relief, this umami taste is simply intoxicating, the soul seems to have been sublimated, and the feeling of food is really incredible.
It was an unprecedented experience, and I didn't expect the roe to be so delicious. No, no, no, this can only be said that the grade of this fish roe is much more than the fish roe I have eaten before! Although she didn't eat much fish roe, she did eat fish occasionally. But those so-called caviar, and this one is not at all on the same level!
"Anyway, how much does this caviar cost?" Cao Ren held his cheeks and looked like he was enjoying himself.
"Who knows, even Wang Yong couldn't say the exact price at that time......," Cao Cao shook his head, "but it's definitely very expensive, after all, the sturgeon fish used are said to be more than twelve catties...... It is said that there is also a hundred-year-old black caviar, and that kind of black caviar is the real price of gold! ”
"No wonder it's called black gold, isn't this thing the same price as gold?!" Cao Ren exclaimed.
Her shouts were also heard by the people around her. It's just that after hearing it, many people who have finished eating it immediately regretted it, and they were still feeling that this thing was delicious, but everyone didn't feel anything, basically they ate it casually after three spoonfuls, and then began to taste the taste.
Now that I heard that the price of this thing was actually equivalent to gold, I immediately regretted that I couldn't taste it carefully at that time.
"Didn't you hear ......" Lu Zhi sat in front, holding the last spoonful of caviar in his hand, and looked at Wang Yun, "The price of this thing...... It doesn't seem to be cheap......"
"I'm curious, though, where did Cao Cao hear about this?" Wang Yun, "But since you dare to call this dish 'black gold', I think the price of this thing is definitely not low, and it is definitely very rare!" ”
"I'm going to take my last bite...... Ah~~um~~~~ I have to say that the food sensation of this thing is indeed very comfortable, and it is rare that it is so delicious, which is stronger than the previous crab roe lion head. Lu Zhi slowly tasted this mouthful, and then felt the fish roe burst in his mouth, and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's just that this is too extravagant, so many people, how much is consumed...... If the price is more than gold, then how many times have we eaten this meal?! Fu Wan shook his head.
"That's why I don't dare to give us too much, look at it, about three spoonfuls, it's not enough at all......," Wang Yun sighed, "I suddenly thought, if there is a condition another day, I also want to buy some and try it slowly." ”
"The price is so expensive, I can't afford it." Fu Wan shook his head, he had known that it would be good to take a stake in the "Shilin Weekly", but now it is good, relying only on his fortune and his wife's fiefdom is not enough for him to be so luxurious.
Especially Fu Shou has also grown up, and he needs to find a suitable partner for him...... At this time, he looked at Liu Bei, the commander of the Xuzhou army, and at the same time a relative of the Han family, if he could marry, it would be considered a kiss. It's rare that she hasn't been married yet, and this is a very good opportunity.
He will find a way to create opportunities for Fu Shou, but whether he can succeed or not depends on Fu Shou's ability.
In the back kitchen, Yang Xiu was eating a spoonful of black caviar and looked at Wang Yong: "This thing is very expensive?" ”
"It's quite expensive, if it weren't for the high budget for the imperial banquet, I wouldn't have been able to get it. I also asked someone from the house to look for it before, and then fortunately...... There are also many sturgeon in the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins...... It's a pity it's not caviar from the Caspian Sea...... But in terms of price, fortunately, it's not very high......" Wang Yong joked.
The ecology of this era is very good, wild species are very rich, including sturgeon, unlike his world, which has become a protected animal, and because of this, the price is not very high, otherwise he would not be able to afford it.
