Chapter 725 Fish Roe Is More Expensive Than Gold
Everyone who heard this introduction was actually more confused. Why is this dish called black gold? Then they thought of the previous Jinyu Mantang and Jinsihuang Ju. Although they both have the word "gold", they obviously have nothing to do with metal.
It can be imagined that this so-called black gold is probably not metal, but something black.
"What exactly is it? It can be described as 'gold'. The price is probably very expensive." Wang Yun thought about it. Even if she was a black and very rare thing, she couldn't think of what it was.
"Anyway, I'm going to come up, I'll know if you look!" Cao Cao murmured in a low voice, vaguely remembering something, which was mentioned by Wang Yong, but it took a while and I don't remember it very much. It seemed to be some kind of fish roe.
As the palace maids came one after another, everyone was holding a small bowl, a very small bowl. At the same time, a soup spoon was also attached and placed in front of the guests one after another. It was visible to the naked eye, and it was a black ball, and I don’t know what it was.
"One thing... Could it be fish roe?" Lu Zhi looked at it and then began to think.
"The problem is that I'm a little too stingy, right? This bowl is probably gone in just three spoons..." Wang Yun complained a little, especially the spoon, which is not really big.
"Black fish roe, what kind of fish roe is black?" Lu Zhi couldn't help but think about it.
"Stubble fish!" Cao Cao suddenly reacted, "I remembered that Wang Yong had said before that there was a fish roe called Sturgeon Black Caviar! Slowly, this thing is said to be not super expensive, and the Wanshi House has not been sold yet!"
"What?" This was the first time Cao Ren heard of this thing.
"It's nothing, it's mainly because someone once said this during afternoon tea. It is said that some places in the west are more popular with foie gras and caviar... Among them, the most delicious one is the black caviar of sturgeon!" Cao Cao thought for a while and said.
"Food gras sauce...the taste of foie gras is not very good..." Cao Ren complained.
"It is said that it was raised by a special method. A goose takes one liver, and the others are abandoned..." Cao Cao thought for a while, remembering that Wang Yong said that at that time.
"Super wasteful..." Liu Bei was a little unimaginable.
"Let's not talk about foie gras... I'm very curious about this black caviar!" Cao Cao picked up the spoon and scooped a spoon. This thing was really rare, and it was only three spoons at most, but it could be seen that this thing was really expensive.
"Indeed, you will know if it's delicious!" Cao Ren also picked up the spoon and scooped a spoon. She was originally a habit of being stuffy, 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 fish roe broke into her mouth, and what was released was the unique umami flavor of black caviar, as well as the faint sweetness, and a slight sour taste. This was the unique taste of the pickled products, but it was not obvious.
"I feel like fish roe bursting in my mouth, and then all the deliciousness of the fish roe bloomed out at the moment of bursting, bursting one by one, creating a unique sense of food..." Cao Hong slowly felt it, "The key is that as more and more bursting fish roe, the umami flavor instantly gathered into a torrent, this umami flavor is really a foul!"
"Yes, it's too bad." Cao Ren let out a long sigh. The umami flavor was simply fascinating, and his soul seemed to have been sublimated. The food was incredible.
This was an unprecedented experience. I didn’t expect that the fish roe could be so delicious. No, no, this can only say that the grade of this fish roe is much higher than that of the fish roe I have eaten before! Although she has indeed not eaten many fish roe, she will still eat it occasionally when eating fish. But those so-called fish roe are not at the same level as this!
"After that, how much does this caviar cost?" Cao Ren held his cheek with an enjoyable look.
"Who knew that even Wang Yong could not tell the exact price at that time..." Cao Cao shook his head, "But it was definitely very expensive. After all, the sturgeons used were said to be more than twelve kilograms... It is said that there are also a hundred-year-old black roe. Such black roe is the real price exceeding gold!"
"No wonder it is called black gold. Is this thing the same price as gold?!" Cao Ren exclaimed.
Her shouting was also heard by the people around her. But after hearing this, many people who had finished eating it suddenly regretted it. They were still sighing that this thing was delicious, but everyone had no feelings. They basically finished it with three spoons and then began to reminisce about the taste.
Now that I heard that the price of this thing is equal to gold, I suddenly regret it. I couldn't taste it carefully at that time.
"Did you hear it..." Lu Zhi sat in front, holding up the last spoonful of caviar in his hand, and looked at Wang Yun, "The price of this thing... doesn't seem to be cheap..."
"Although I'm very curious, where did Cao Cao hear about this thing?" Wang Yun, "But since I dare to call this dish 'black gold', I think the price of this thing is definitely not low, and it's definitely very rare!"
"The last bite, I have to taste it slowly... Ah, I have to say, the food feel of this thing is indeed very comfortable. It is rare to be so delicious, even stronger than the previous crab roe lion head." Lu Zhi slowly tasted this bite, and then felt the fish roe bursting in his mouth, and couldn't help but sigh.
"But this is too luxurious. How much has so many people consumed... If the price exceeds gold, then how many coins did we eat in this meal?!" Fu Wan shook his head.
"So I dare not give us too much. Look at it, about three spoons, I'm not satisfied..." Wang Yun sighed, "I suddenly thought, if there is a condition another day, I would like to buy some and try it slowly."
"The price is so expensive, I can't afford this salary." Fu Wan shook his head. It would have been great if he had known to have invested in the Shilin Weekly. Now, it's great that relying solely on his salary and his wife's fief are not as luxurious as he has.
Especially Fu Shou grew up and needed to find a suitable partner for him... At this time, Fu Wan looked at Liu Bei, the commander of the Xuzhou Army, and was also a relative of the Han Dynasty. If he could marry, it would be considered a marriage. It is rare that she has not yet been married, which is a very good opportunity.
He will find a way to create opportunities for Fu Shou, but whether he can succeed depends on Fu Shou's ability.
In the kitchen, Yang Xiu ate a spoonful of black cabbage and looked at Wang Yong: "This thing is very expensive?"
"It's quite expensive. If it weren't for the high budget of the Imperial Banquet, I wouldn't have been able to get it. I used to ask the people from Wanshi House to look for it, and fortunately... there were a lot of sturgeons in the Yangtze River and the Yellow River Basins... It's a pity that it's not the caviar in the Caspian Sea... But in terms of price, it's not very high..." Wang Yong joked.
The ecology of this era is very good, with rich species of wildlife, including sturgeons, unlike his world, which is a degree of protection for animals. Because of this, the price is not very high, otherwise he would not be able to afford it.
