Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 731 Fish 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 Jinyu Mantang and Jinsi Huangju before, although they both have the word 'gold', they obviously have nothing to do with metal.

It is conceivable 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 for a while. Even she couldn't figure out what it was that was black and very rare.

"I'm going to come up anyway, let's find out if you don't see it!" Cao Cao muttered in a low voice, vaguely remembering something that Wang Yong mentioned, but it was a bit long, I don't quite remember it, it seems to be some kind of fish roe .

No, as the maids came over one after another, everyone was holding a small bowl, a very small bowl.At the same time, there is also a soup spoon, which is placed in front of the guests one after another. It is visible to the naked eye, but it is a black mass, and I don't know what it is.

"The one after another...could they be fish roe?" Lu Zhi looked at it, and then thought about it.

"The problem is that you are too stingy, right? This bowl is probably gone after three spoons..." Wang Yun complained somewhat, especially the spoon, which is actually not very big.

"Black fish roe, what kind of fish has black roe." Lu Zhi couldn't help thinking.

"Sturgeon fish!" Cao Cao suddenly reacted, "I remembered, Wang Yong said before that there is a kind of fish roe called sturgeon black caviar! Wait, it is said that this thing is not super expensive, and Wanshiwu has not yet Sell!"

"What?" Cao Ren heard of it for the first time.

"It's nothing, the main thing is that someone once said this during afternoon tea. It is said that in some places in the far west, foie gras and caviar are more popular... among them, the most delicious caviar is sturgeon fish black caviar!" Cao Cao thought for a while and said.

"Foie gras...the taste of foie gras is not very good..." Cao Ren complained.

"It is said that it is bred in a special way. One liver is taken from a goose, and the rest is discarded..." Cao Cao thought for a while, remembering what Wang Yong said at the time.

"It's so wasteful..." Liu Bei couldn't even imagine it.

"Let's not talk about foie gras... I'm very curious about this black caviar!" Cao Cao picked up the spoon and scooped up a spoonful. There are really few of these things, at most three spoonfuls will be gone, but it can be seen that this Things are really expensive.

"Indeed, you'll know if it tastes good or not!" Cao Ren also picked up the spoon and took a spoonful. Originally, she was used to being stuffy in one mouthful, but now she heard that this thing is very expensive, so she slowly put it in her mouth. He swallowed it, then bit it down with his teeth.

The fish roe burst open in her mouth, releasing the unique umami taste of black caviar, a slight sweetness, and a slight sour taste, which is a unique taste of pickled products, but it is not obvious.

"I feel the fish roe bursting in the mouth, and then all the deliciousness of the fish roe is fully bloomed at the moment of bursting, and the explosion of each one creates a unique taste..." Cao Hong slowly felt , "The key is that as more and more fish roe burst, the umami taste instantly gathers into a torrent. This umami taste is really foul!"

"Yes, it's too~~~violating~~~rules~~" Cao Ren breathed a sigh of relief, the umami taste is simply intoxicating, as if the soul has been sublimated, and the taste of this food is incredible.

This is an unprecedented experience. I didn't expect that fish roe can be so delicious.No, no, it can only be said that the quality of this fish roe is much higher than the fish roe I have eaten before!Although she did not eat much fish roe, she would occasionally eat fish roe.But those so-called fish roe are not at the same level as this one!

"Speaking of which, what is the price of this caviar?" Cao Ren held his cheek, looking like he was enjoying it.

"Who knows, even Wang Yong couldn't tell 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 over twelve catties... It is said that there are Hundred-year-grade black caviar, that kind of black caviar is truly worth more than gold!"

"No wonder it's called black gold, isn't it the same price as gold?!" Cao Ren exclaimed.

Her shout was also heard by the people around her.It’s just that after hearing it, many people who commented on eating it immediately regretted it. Before, they were still lamenting that this food was delicious, but everyone didn’t feel much. Basically, they just finished eating it with three spoons, and then began to relish the taste.

Now that I heard that the price of this thing is equivalent to gold, I immediately regretted that I didn't taste it carefully at that time.

"Did 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... doesn't seem cheap..."

"Although I am very curious, where did Cao Cao hear about this thing?" Wang Yun, "But if you dare to call this dish 'black gold', I think the price of this thing is definitely not low, and it is definitely very expensive. Rare!"

"The last bite, I have to taste it slowly...ah~~um~~~~ I have to say, the taste of this thing is indeed very comfortable, and it is so delicious that it is stronger than the previous crab roe and lion head. " Lu Zhi tasted this bite slowly, and then felt the fish roe burst in his mouth, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"It's just that this is too extravagant. So many people, how much did they consume... If the price is more than gold, then how much did we eat this meal?!" Fu Wan shook his head.

"That's why I didn't dare to give us too much. Look, about three spoonfuls, it's completely unfinished..." Wang Yun sighed, "Suddenly thought, if I have the conditions another day, I also want to buy some and go back and try it slowly."

"The price is so expensive, I can't afford this little salary." Fu Wan shook his head. At first, he knew that it would be nice to buy a stake in "Shilin Weekly". The food city is not as luxurious as him at all.

In particular, Fu Shou has grown up, and needs to find a suitable partner for him... At this moment, Fu Wan looked at Liu Bei, the commander of the Xuzhou Army, and also a clan member of the Han Dynasty. .It is rare that she is not married yet, which is a very good opportunity.

He will find a way to create opportunities for Fushou, but whether he can succeed or not depends on Fushou's ability.

In the back kitchen, Yang Xiu was eating a spoonful of black fish roe, and looked at Wang Yong: "Is this stuff expensive?"

"It's quite expensive. If it wasn't for the high budget of the imperial banquet, I wouldn't have been able to get it. I used to ask the people in the Wanshiwu to find it. Fortunately, there are also many sturgeons in the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins... It's a pity. It's not the caviar from the Caspian Sea... but the price is fortunately not very high..." Wang Yong joked.

The ecology of this era is very good, and wild species are abundant, including the sturgeon, which is not like his world, where animals are protected. Because of this, the price is not very high, otherwise he would not be able to afford it.
