Chapter 929: Expensive Dishes (Part II)

"Lang Jun, you're talking nonsense again, how can such a small thing be worth the same amount of gold?" Cui Yue shook her head, looking incredulous.

Although Cui Yue didn't know what caviar was, she could see that the spoonful that Zhang Nan scooped just now was clearly fish eggs, how could a few fish eggs be worth so much money?

"This is Yue'er, you haven't seen anything expensive, this caviar is not the roe of an ordinary fish." Zhang Nan slammed his mouth and said.

Although Zhang Nan can't taste the taste of caviar like a gourmet, he still eats it if it's delicious, after all, if an ingredient is not delicious, it won't be sold so expensive, and the local tyrants are not stupid.

"What's the value of fish eggs, even our people in Datang won't eat this thing, Lang Jun, if you like to eat it, then the concubine will let people go to the river to find it for you slowly, I dare not say more, a few big buckets can still be found." Li Li asked.

"Is that still caviar from the vats?" Zhang Nan said with black lines on his face.

Although Zhang Nan didn't have much money before, he liked to read the news about luxury goods, and there is no doubt that caviar was one of them.

In daily life, you will often see a wide variety of fish roe products of different colors, mainly made of fish eggs commonly found in the market, such as cod, salmon, carp, salmon, etc., which are very convenient to buy and their prices are also very cheap. Therefore, in terms of quality, culture and nutrition, it has never been able to compete with real caviar.

If it is strictly divided, only the eggs of the sturgeon are eligible to be made into caviar in the true sense of the word; There are also many types of sturgeon, and the grade of caviar varies depending on the fish species.

The highest grade is beluga caviar, which produces less than 100 whales a year, and only mature beluga whales over 60 years old are eligible to make beluga caviar; The second is Asetra caviar, which is made from the eggs laid by Asetra fish over the age of 40; Then there is the Sevruga caviar, which is made from the eggs laid by the 20-year-old Sevruga fish.

And there is a very simple way to distinguish caviar, and that is by looking at it.

In terms of appearance, the whiter the color of the caviar, the older the sturgeon from which it is derived, the more noble the quality of the caviar, and the more delicate and elegant the natural taste.

Almas is one of the highest grades of beluga caviar, derived from the 100-year-old endangered albino sturgeon of the Caspian Sea, the largest and only carnivorous fish in the sturgeon family. This dinosaur contemporaneous fish has survived for at least 1.2 billion years and is the oldest survivor of the Cretaceous period.

What's even more valuable is that even after so many years, the appearance of the albino sturgeon has not changed in any way.

As the king of caviar, the annual production of Almas caviar is only eight to thirteen kilograms, which is very rare.

Now the caviar in Zhang Nan's plate is the king of caviar, Almas caviar, although the production is scarce, but who let Zhang Nan have a universal system? As long as you pay the equivalent of points, you can get the corresponding thing.

As for whether the output is scarce or not, it is not within Zhang Nan's consideration.

However, Zhang Nan didn't bother to explain to Cui Yue how precious this caviar was, after all, Cui Yue and the others didn't even have a clear understanding of what the world was like.

Therefore, Zhang Nan thought that explaining the preciousness of caviar to them was tantamount to playing the piano to the cow, but in order to highlight the nobility of the food he ate, Zhang Nan couldn't help but explain, so Zhang Nan chose a more straightforward statement.

"Eh, I'll explain to you that you definitely think I'm lying to you, but in fact, this thing is really so expensive, so I'll tell you about the processing process of this thing." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he found that all the women looked expectant, and Zhang Nan was also relieved and boldly showed off his knowledge.

Although this knowledge was just seen in the system not long ago, this does not affect Zhang Nan's current learning and selling.

"These are not simple fish eggs, to process fish eggs into caviar, you must complete more than a dozen processes in the time of a tea, and if these processes are less or a little overtime, then this precious fish egg is a waste."

"The first thing to do is to stun the sturgeon, because it secretes a lot of adrenaline on natural reflexes, which will spoil the original flavor of the caviar. The eggs are then retrieved, screened, cleaned and drained...... Experienced fishermen then rank them by sniffing, tasting, seeing, and touching. And last but not least, one thing that affects the taste of the whole caviar, is how much salt to put in it. Since the better the quality of the eggs, the less salt is used, so it must be very accurate. ”

After Zhang Nan finished introducing, as if he couldn't stand the temptation of caviar, he scooped a spoonful of caviar again, and then he wanted Zhu Bajie to eat ginseng fruit, and sent it to his mouth in one go.

Cui Yue even felt that Zhang Nan might have swallowed it without chewing much.

"Lang Jun, if this thing is really as precious as you say, then you can still eat it like this?" Li Lizhi looked at the shiny caviar and asked cautiously.

In fact, smelling the fragrance of the food in Zhang Nan's study, Li Lizhi was already hungry, but it was not easy to say it directly.

"It's okay, I didn't have money before, but now that I have money, haven't you heard a word about it, wives? It's called money makes ghosts grind, and now as long as I have money, I can make fish spawn. Zhang Nan said with a smile.

Zhang Nan suddenly felt that if he really couldn't find any good jobs in modern times, then it was actually a good choice to go to work as a second-course seller with expensive ingredients.

Just like this caviar, as long as you give money, Zhang Nan can even provide unlimited amounts.

Other Western restaurants serve caviar by the ounce, basically an ounce is the equivalent of gold, so Zhang Nan can sell it by the pound.

After introducing the caviar to the women, Zhang Nan then introduced the Buddha jumping over the wall, white truffle bagels and other dishes, and when the last dish was introduced, that is, the most important dish, when the women saw Zhang Nan's dessert after dinner, they finally couldn't hold back anymore.

sat directly next to Zhang Nan, picked up Zhang Nan's spoon and prepared to start.

Zhang Nan's dessert after dinner is the love of Jin Fengyu sundae, although it may not even be as expensive as two spoons of caviar, but helplessly, this dessert after dinner looks beautiful.

The sundae is mixed with five scoops of Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream, vanilla from Madagascar, and chocolate from Venezuela and covered in edible gold, as well as some caviar, truffles, and plenty of nuts.
