Chapter 166 Asking Miler's Friend for Help
In addition to these two main types of fish, the seafood section also has some small silver fish, which can be pan-fried.
And shellfish, which are mostly used for raw consumption or in soups and noodles, have a very delicious flavor.
This is all the supermarket has. Miler said there are many huge fish in the ocean that taste great, but unfortunately they're too big for a small to medium-sized supermarket like this, so they're not available here.
Go further in and you'll find the vegetable section.
"Sister Yufei! This! I strongly recommend you try this!" Miler held an oval-shaped, milky-white fruit in her hand. The fruit was translucent and filled with liquid. Its peel was thin yet resilient.
It flicked in Yufei's hand, giving the feeling that the liquid inside might burst out at any moment, making Yufei's heart pound with fear.
"this is?"
"This is milk fruit, the favorite drink of the kids, girls, and our battle pets here."
Miler looked at the fruit in her hand, her eyes sparkling. This fruit wasn't very expensive, but it wasn't cheap either.
Miler usually doesn't buy it, unless there's something to celebrate, in which case she'll buy one to enjoy the happiness.
So when she got to the vegetable section, she strongly recommended this to Yufei. Yufei looked at it and saw that it was called "Milk Fruit" and cost 12 yuan each.
It's about the price of a cup of milk tea at Da Xia. It's not exactly expensive, but it's not cheap either.
Yufei thought about it and still bought three. As for Lei Jun and the others, these grown men shouldn't drink anything; they should restrain themselves!
Besides milk fruit, the vegetable section also contained many other vegetables that Yufei was completely unfamiliar with, such as cocoa fruit, which Mile had mentioned before—a tender green, prickly fruit.
Yufei had never tasted this fruit before, and she didn't know what it tasted like. Miler told her that you could squeeze it to get juice, which could be used to marinate meat and make it taste better.
Yufei calculated the money she had, sighed, and decided to wait until she earned some money tonight to buy this and try it. She also needed to save some money to buy some of the ready-made food here to taste.
Besides cocoa beans, the red leaves that Mile mentioned were also in the vegetable section. They were red leaves that looked like a palm. Yufei picked one up and smelled it; it had a faint, refreshing fragrance.
Like the mint in summer, it's quite refreshing, like a cool breeze brushing against your forehead, but without the harshness of mint; it's a very mild and refreshing scent.
Yufei could roughly imagine what it would taste like to make a sauce with it.
Besides these two, there are also thick, fleshy leaves that can be stir-fried; they are crisp, tender, and extremely sweet.
There are also large oval vegetable leaves, which Miler calls "bopa". These can be used to wrap things, such as fish, pom-poms, and rice.
When baked in the oven, the rice and vegetables have a fresh, herbaceous aroma. They're delicious even without any added seasoning; the meat is tender, juicy, and exceptionally fragrant.
Of course, besides the ones mentioned above, there are many other vegetables. Miler wasn't interested in introducing them to Yufei one by one; in Miler's words, the other vegetables were quite ordinary.
It tastes just like grass, so there's no need to describe it. She's probably a carnivore and doesn't seem interested in eating vegetables other than those mentioned earlier.
If it weren't for some older people saying that eating these herbs is good for your health, she wouldn't like to eat them at all. She even wrinkled her face as she talked about it, clearly showing a strong aversion to those vegetables.
Yufei and her friends only spent about 20 minutes exploring these three areas, but there was actually a wide variety of items, and Yufei found everything new and exciting.
Yufei noticed that they had no seasonings whatsoever—no wine, no vinegar, no soy sauce, no pickles, and no... well, let's just say they were quite adept at using technology.
All their flavors must come from fresh ingredients, which makes them quite healthy.
Next, they went to the shelves, which were filled with bottles and jars containing food for their battle pets, categorized into various types, such as fire-type and grass-type.
Different types of pets have different food preferences; the cans contain various meat-based canned foods that carnivorous battle pets like.
It's formulated by a professional nutritionist to ensure it provides all the nutrients and abilities your carnivorous battle pet needs.
The last row was a row of refrigerated display cases, which contained the food Yufei was looking for in this world. Of course, the taste was much worse than the food in restaurants that specialize in food.
But Yufei felt that this could roughly represent the general trend of tastes in this world.
Yufei chose from the list the Mbari fried meat and raw sword tapir meat slices with sauce that Miler had previously recommended, as well as a bighead carp soup.
After paying, Yufei quickly heated up the fried pork and bighead carp soup in the microwave provided by the supermarket for a few minutes, and then she, Sister Juan, and Miler tasted it.
To be honest, Yufei's only feeling after eating all this was that it was so light and healthy.
These dishes were basically only seasoned with salt; the rest of the flavor relied on the individual tastes of the ingredients themselves.
Moreover, even the sauce I made was just average in taste, with only a slight aroma and a sourness.
It's like a gentle breeze rippling the surface of water, barely making a ripple. After eating, it feels like you haven't eaten anything at all; your mouth tastes almost like bird food.
After experiencing the food culture of this world, Yufei suddenly lost some of her confidence in crayfish and barbecue.
Will they enjoy the thrill of this extreme collision of aroma and spiciness?
Yufei shook her head, deciding not to think about it too much and to just start cooking! Wasn't there a local person here? Let her try it and see if she likes it.
All the way, Miler looked at Yufei's face, which was as pale as a palette, and was very worried. She wondered what was on her sister Yufei's mind.
Mile looked at Yufei, hesitant to speak. Yufei, having composed herself, looked at Mile and asked...
"Xiaomi Le, what's wrong?"
"Sister Yufei, I was just about to ask you what's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind. If it's convenient, you can share it with me. I may not be able to help you solve it, but it will make you feel better."
Miler earnestly comforted Yufei, appearing to be offering her advice.
Yufei also needed her help with something, so she didn't refuse her comfort.
"Milo, I happen to have something you can help with. Do you have many friends in this city? Tonight, I'd like to invite you and your friends to try some local specialties from our village."
"Yes, yes! Who am I? I have a whole bunch of underlings, but I'd be too embarrassed to ask them for help. I'm afraid they'll be a burden to you."
Miler's eyes lit up at first; she wanted to show off her sister's cooking skills to her group of younger brothers. But then she thought about the behavior of her brothers and was afraid of scaring her sister, Yufei.
"It's alright, no trouble at all. I actually need some people to help me taste the dishes, preferably those who can give me feedback," Yufei said with a smile. Finally, one problem was solved, and Yufei relaxed and began preparing to make the honey lemonade.
