There is always a time to finish talking about heavy topics. Xiao Letian is not a working machine. After resting for a while in his cabin, he decided to go out and enjoy the Mediterranean sea breeze. Tian' "Lai Novelｗｗ
Accompanied by the footsteps of the guards standing at attention and saluting along the way, Xiao Letian's eyes suddenly lit up. The dazzling sunlight at noon shone on his eyes, and it took him a while to adapt before he could see normally.
It was already 11:30 in the morning, and half a day had passed since the collision at around 7 o'clock in the morning. The Zhiyuan was anchored outside the breakwater of the port. In the distance was the pleasant Port Said, and there are still warships until now. It is drilling out of the canal.
The entire people of Port Said were out of work today. People watched the drama all morning in astonishment, first the spy attack, then the collision of warships, and finally the grand parade of the British fleet.
The narrow canal restricted the ship, and every warship had to pass at the lowest cruising speed. As a result, it turned into a parade ceremony of the combined fleet.
The Royal Navy of the British Empire may have felt that it did not have any actual strength in this conflict, so it tried every means to show off its force during this tour.
Beside the railing of the battleship deck, neatly dressed sailors stood one after another with their hands behind their backs. These pacesetters used their bodies to outline the outline of the battleship. The sails were decorated with countless experienced sailors. There were deliberately frequent gunners in the artillery deck. He opened the gun doors, and the black muzzles of the guns one after another shocked all the citizens of Port Said.
Even more powerful are the steam warships spraying black smoke. The long smoke ribbon pulls out a black cloud in the mid-air. People can even see tiny cinders falling from the sky with the naked eye, landing on their gray-white Arab robes. above.
These actions of the British are very impolite. If they were normal, they would definitely cause a serious diplomatic conflict. In the French colony, such a wanton display of force is disrespectful.
But with the impact of the Zhiyuan just now at the bottom, the British's small actions are no longer a crime.
More and more warships emerged from the mouth of the canal. One after another, they gathered outside Sai Port, protecting the Chinese fleet in the middle.
This is such a spectacular scene. The outer sea of Port Said is almost filled with battleships, and it feels visually boundless.
In comparison, the French warships were much pitiful. The Maranta was severely damaged and was leaning in the dock, while other French reinforcements in the Mediterranean were directly blocked by British ships in the open sea.
The French are completely powerless at this moment. The British Indian Ocean Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet have joined together. Such a huge combat power can already destroy some small countries.
The French fort even put away all the ammunition packets in order to prevent misfires, leaving a group of French soldiers staring blankly.
Xiao Letian took a deep breath of the warm Mediterranean wind. The climate here in Port Said is pleasant. Affected by the warm and humid air of the Mediterranean, it is completely green and tree-lined. The scenery is quiet and the air is fresh. It is completely different from the dryness of the desert before. different.
"Didn't the French come to contact you?" Xiao Letian asked.
The guard beside him whispered, "No contact yet, no protest, very calm..."
"Haha, calm down? You said it's dinner time, and none of the British gluttons came to eat. What does this mean? The French must have boarded the British ship, and their European friends are negotiating... …”
"Let's eat, let's eat. There is no bigger meal in the world... I'll take a three-day break and let's see what the French can do to me!"
Xiao Letian pushed the railing and turned to go to the restaurant to eat. But at this moment, a familiar figure slowly walked over from the kitchen. When he looked carefully, it was Liu Dadao, the imperial chef from the Forbidden City, and he was holding a knife in his hand. There was a tray with a huge steaming casserole on it.
Of course Xiao Letian knew the deeds of Savior Liu Dadao. When he saw it, he couldn't help but feel much better. "Are you Liu Dadao? What are you holding in your hand?"
Liu Dadao never expected that Yuan would take the initiative to talk to him. At that time, his body trembled and he almost dropped the casserole in his hand. However, the guards around him protected the pot of fragrant food with lightning speed.
With a pop, Liu Dadao fell to his knees and said, "Kowtow to the Prime Minister! I'm going to say hello to the Prime Minister... This is a pot of hoof flower soup, which I prepared for Lord Long Live!"
Perhaps he was too excited, Liu Dadao knelt on the ground and shivered.
"Get up, I heard that your craftsmanship is pretty good. I couldn't tell which dish was made by you before... I met you today. I'll try your craftsmanship and open the lid!"
As soon as the lid of the black casserole was opened, a burst of hot air hit his face. When the white mist cleared, there was a strong aroma. Xiao Letian also stayed up all night and didn't eat breakfast. This pot of delicious food immediately aroused his interest. A glutton in the belly.
"Ginseng, golden chicken soup, simmered soybeans and kelp buckles...the rest is the hoof flowers. I simmered it for an hour and a half, and all the ingredients were soft and rotten. Prime Minister, please try it... "
It’s not Liu Dadao’s fault. This guy’s cooking skills are really outstanding. There is a wooden spoon on the tray. Xiao Letian took a mouthful of soup first: "Oh... hot, hot, hot... hoo hoo hoo... so fresh! So fresh." !”
It stands to reason that Xiao Letian is not a person who has never eaten or seen before. As the leader of the Chinese nation, he has been supported by all people, and he can eat delicious food from all over the world.
But Xiao Letian has always felt that there is a missing taste. No matter what dish Xiao Letian feels is delicious, he also feels that there is always a little bit of a fly in the ointment.
what is it? I finally found the answer today. This pot of secret hoof flower soup finally allowed Xiao Letian to find the answer to his confusion.
Umami, that’s umami!
In Xiao Letian's previous life, all dishes were heavily bombarded with MSG and chicken essence, and every dish had an extremely fresh taste.
People living in the 21st century have become dependent on this condiment and it has become a lifestyle habit. It wasn't until Xiao Letian came to this era that he felt the boringness of the ingredients in this era.
In fact, it’s not that natural and pollution-free ingredients are not delicious enough. In fact, the problem is that modern people’s spoiled taste buds, tongues stimulated by strong umami flavors, are no longer able to distinguish the unique taste of natural food.
This is a mild form of addiction, a slight dependence on the umami flavor provided by MSG.
"I found it, I finally found the source of the problem...ah hahaha!" Xiao Letian suddenly laughed wildly, which frightened Liu Dadao who had just stood up and knelt down again with a pop.
