Prince Charming with Super Brain - C81
Even though she had never eaten a meal with Duan Lingfei in the canteen, she could not help but blurt out that he did not have any food to eat, making her happy.
“Hehe, a bird’s nest?” Bai Youqing smiled and did not answer.
When Jin Yunting saw that Bai Youqing did not have any reaction, she thought that she did not know what was good for her. After all, a white bird’s nest was a common sight.
“Miss Bai, you may not know this, but the nests are divided into three types: white swallow, yellow swallow and blood swallow. The blood swallow has the highest nutritional value, and its price is also the most expensive!” Jin Yunting pointed to the red flecks floating in the soup.
“That’s right, the blood swallow contains the blood essence of the Golden Silk Swallow. It’s extremely rare. Its nutritional value is several times higher than that of an ordinary white swallow!” Luo Zhiliang also agreed. He thought that since he had spent all his money, he should at least leave a good impression on a foreign girl. Thus, he also talked about the Yan Ye.
However, Bai Youqing did not seem to have the desire to taste it.
“Thank you, but as far as I know, the origin of the Blood Swallow is actually the Golden Silk Swallow, which was built on the walls of the cave. The mineral in the walls slowly seeped into the nest and made it red in color.” Bai Youqing said without batting an eyelid, “Furthermore, 99% of the Blood Swallows sold on the market are fake!”
“How is this possible, this is a four-star hotel, there is no lie to it!” Luo Zhiliang could not sit still any longer.
“Don’t be so sure.” “Once a swallow’s nest has been dyed the color of blood red, its original color and impurities would be covered up, making it look pure and beautiful. It’s precisely because of this reason that those impurities that were mixed within those bird’s nest that were of poor quality were often used to make blood swallows.”
“Impossible …” Luo Zhi Liang wanted to argue, but Duan Lingfei and Bai Youqing had a tacit understanding and directly ignored his words.
“Then do you know how an ordinary white swallow is dyed red?”
“I don’t know. I’m curious too!”
“In fact, a lot of bird’s nest dealers have admitted that they placed ordinary bird’s nest in a box filled with swallow feces. After about ten days, the nest turned red and smoked, turning into a so-called blood swallow.” Bai Youqing said, calmly.
With a “pu” sound, Jin Yunting vomited out all the food she had just eaten.
“…”
There was no need to mention the speed at which the four star restaurants were eating. The next dish, “Red Braised Sky and Nine Wings”, followed closely behind.
The highest grade was the nine wings of heaven, which was known as the “king among the wings”. The others were: Sea Tiger, Golden Hook, Spring Wings, Butterfly Green, and so on.
“Duan Lingfei, this is not an ordinary shark fin, do you know what the Heaven’s Nine Wings are?”
Jin Yunting was obviously not convinced by Duan Lingfei and Bai Youqing’s actions. When the fish fin appeared, she took the initiative to attack, as if she was asking for guidance, but her eyes were still filled with provocation.
Duan Lingfei thought: “If you had asked me about anything else, I might not have known about it, but you asked me about these luxurious accessories. I’m afraid you don’t know about it yet, I washed my mouth with fish wings soup!”
“The so-called nine wings of heaven, its original idea is from the Chinese game of” nine cards “,” nine cards “is a card nine out of a way of calling, almost the biggest card. Also within the shark fins, only the fins of a whale shark and a basking shark are qualified to be called the Nine Wings of the Heavens. ” Duan Lingfei explained slowly, as if he was reciting something.
She thought that she would be able to ridicule Duan Lingfei when the time came. She never thought that the other party would actually be able to explain everything so clearly, and could only awkwardly take a sip, then laughed: “I didn’t think that Duan Lingfei was so familiar with Fish Wings, could it be that you came from a fisherman’s family?”
However, Duan Lingfei did not answer Jin Yunting’s question. Instead, he turned his head to look at Bai Youqing and mysteriously said: “I heard that the current situation is where the fish wings are faked, and it’s even more serious than in a bird’s nest!”
Once she said that, Jin Yunting’s hand that was holding the spoon trembled as a bad premonition arose in her heart.
“Really?”
“Yeah, in the current market, many of the lower tier restaurants use fish skin and agar to synthesize their fish wings. Although the taste isn’t too different from real fish wings, they are basically of no nutritional value.”
“It’s alright if it’s just not nutritious, but it can’t be that this was made using some disgusting method, right?” Bai Youqing intentionally acted as if he was afraid that he wouldn’t make it in time, causing Jin Yunting’s stomach to churn again.
“Probably not.” Duan Lingfei picked one out of the small bowl of fish wings and placed it on the table. Then, he lightly rubbed it with his fingers.
“You see, if it’s a fake shark fin, it would stick to the table like rice, but the natural fish wing’s fiber is more elastic, so it can’t stick.”
“It didn’t stick, it didn’t stick. How could a four-star hotel have fake goods!” Luo Zhiliang hurriedly shouted, afraid that Duan Lingfei would say another word.
“Indeed, this is an authentic natural shark fin. There’s no doubt about it!” Duan Lingfei nodded his head, his expression suddenly became serious: “But, I would rather eat that imposter!”
“Duan Lingfei, you …”
Luo Zhiliang originally wanted to say “What kind of shitty nerves are you getting again”, but as the words were just about to come out of his mouth, he remembered that Bai Youqing was still around and that he had to maintain his image in front of the chick, so he changed it to: “Duan Lingfei, why do you say that?”
“Do you know how to obtain a shark’s fin?”
“In the distant Caribbean Sea or Atlantic Ocean, shark-fishing boats travel in groups. Every time they go out of the sea, they return with a full load. The cabin is filled with only a small portion of the massive body of the shark.”
Duan Lingfei spoke slowly and softly, his tone seemingly carrying a trace of sadness, as though he was telling a sad story. Adding on his gloomy expression, even the waiter at the side could not help but be attracted by him.
“This small portion only accounts for 5% of the shark’s body, but it’s the main ingredient for a luxury fish’s wings.”
“When fishermen catch a shark, regardless of its size, they cut off the shark’s dorsal fin, two pectoral fins, and a portion of its caudal fin on the deck, and then throw the bloody shark back into the sea, because the cabin is not so big as it is filled with relatively cheap shark meat.”
“The damaged bodies of these sharks were directly thrown back into the sea, sinking deep into the sea. They were unable to swim, unable to find food, in pain, in hunger, in endless blood flow, finally dying a tragic and lonely death in the deep sea.”
The few people on the table were infected by Duan Lingfei’s story, while the female attendants at the side had their eyes turn red, as though they were about to cry.
