Chapter 58 Drunk
After seeing the seasoning area, the manager took Johnson to the food area with great enthusiasm. Although it is the most advanced imported supermarket, although the Magic City is not short of rich people, there are very few people who are willing to spend 30,000 yuan to buy a small bottle of black vinegar.
It is rare to meet a rich man who knows things. He wishes to take out all the treasures in his box and promote it vigorously: "You are the most eye-catching gourmet I have ever met, Almas caviar, you must not miss this kind of top quality."
Johnson's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that he could meet the legendary fantasy food here. The small 18K gold exquisite packaging box is priced at 99,000 yuan, which is indeed exclusive to the rich.
"Produced in Iran, caviar is originally a precious ingredient, but its rarity is once a century. Pure white, from white sturgeons over 100 years old, takes up 20 years to mature."
"The annual output is less than 100 and the growth rate is very slow. The sturgeon that survives to be over 100 years old is known as the ginseng fruit in the ocean. Among the wild sturgeons caught, only 1/6,000 have golden white eggs, and the price of caviar of the same quality is more than gold!"
Johnson held a gold box the size of a palm and read a lot of food books. He regarded this caviar as a god without exception. He originally thought that he would meet him if he had the opportunity to go to the place of origin, but he didn't expect...
The manager observed his words and explained immediately: "Please rest assured that this is the treasure of our restaurant. Each kilogram of Almas caviar is about 25,000 fish eggs, which are respectively packed into cans of gold and stored in vacuum to ensure the original flavor."
"It is usually applied to small pieces of toast to be eaten alone, without any need to enhance the flavor. According to locals, the moment you bite, with a crisp sound, the faint smell of sea water and the infinite umami of sturgeon will spread in your mouth immediately..."
Johnson Smith smiled slightly and took it off without saying a word. Unfortunately, there were only two boxes, and you could eat at most two meals. Try it first.
"Iberian ham is produced from locally unique black pigs, even the hooves are black, nicknamed black hooves. Their main food for free-range farms is acorns. Every year from October to January of the following year, when the acorns are solid, each pig can grow to more than 600 kilograms. The ham is refined for at least 24 months, and the best is refined for 48 months."
The manager held a 7.5 kilogram air-dried ham with a price of 13,000 yuan, and smiled and said, "This is the highest-level acorn ham, and there are two other secondary products, filling and feeding type and compound feeding. I won't recommend those to you."
The ham in front of me reminded Johnson of a foodie who said: Walking on the streets of Madrid, you can see traces of ham museums of all sizes everywhere. The authentic black pig ham, white pig ham, and tenderloin are placed in front of you one by one. The aroma of ham hazelnuts that hit you seems to tell the past and present of Iberian ham.
The ham, which has been made for a long time, has a rich meat quality and has a strong taste after the natural changes of the four seasons. Even the person who is the least greedy for the taste of meat will instantly fall in love with the graceful taste of ham spinning on the tip of his tongue.
The Extremadura area, which specializes in the production of Iberian ham, holds a unique ham-cut competition every year, attracting many tourists to come and watch.
Putting the ham into the shopping cart, a bag of rice appeared in front of her, with a slightly red color and a peculiar shape. Johnson was surprised and said, "Is it rouge rice?"
The manager raised his thumb and flattered: "Oda rouge rice is a tribute from the Qing Dynasty. Only the emperor can enjoy it with blessings."
He teared the packaging directly and took out one and said, "The rice grains are slender, fragrant and slightly green. After cooking, they appear red in lotus petals. Look carefully at the body, which is commonly known as the three-stretch waist. Even if you turn it back three times, it will not be cooked. It can still grow by about three times."
Johnson grabbed a small handful and held it in his palm to study it carefully. The most special thing about rouge rice is that it has a green orchid color. It can only be irrigated with pure mountain spring water. It cannot be used to use any chemical fertilizers and pesticides, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted.
Rice is everywhere. In the past, it used to cost a few cents per pound, but now it costs a few dollars per pound, and a little more expensive one is more than ten dollars per pound. Rouge rice is known as the most expensive, with a kilogram of 4,000.
In the 53rd chapter of Dream of Red Mansions, "Ningguo Mansion's New Year's Eve Sacrifice to the Rongguo Mansion's Lantern Festival Banquet", Wu Jinxiao paid tribute to the Jia Mansion, which reads: Two stones of oden rouge rice, fifty hu of green glutinous rice, fifty hu of white glutinous rice, fifty hu of powder, fifty hu of variegated granite, fifty hu of variegated granite, and one thousand stones of qian rice were used.
When Yuanyang gave Liu Laolao two dou of Oda rouge rice on behalf of Jia's mansion, he said: Now this one contains two dou of Oda japonica rice, making porridge is rare.
Chapter 75 reads that Grandmother Jia specifically told her to send this bowl of red rice porridge to Brother Feng, when Wang Xifeng was ill at that time.
Later, historians studied that it was impossible for the Jia family to enjoy such precious imperial rice frequently. It may be that Cao Xueqin, who has rich imagination, made the real art of history, to put it bluntly, it is fantasy.
Ask Xia Hu to bring the last two bags of the warehouse over, walk to the red wine area, and there is no surprise after taking a walk around. It is better to get the goods from Ding Mengyao at a low price.
"You don't like red wine? This is Parmesan cheese, known as the king of cheese. The longer this hard cheese is fermented, the stronger the taste. It is best to use Rafi and Bordeaux."
"The curds extracted from the whole milk of regular cheese are mixed and soaked in salt water for about 25 days. Fresh Parmesan cheese needs to be fermented for at least 12 months, and some still need to ferment for 6 years."
Six boxes were packed, and finally arrived at the fruit area. Looking at a melon priced at 1,500, even Johnson couldn't help but curious and said, "What the hell is this?"
"Xizhang Wang melon, produced in the island country, is only affordable. There was a pair that once sold for US$23,500 and RMB 150,000."
The manager smiled and said, "I went to Hokkaido to inspect. The hybrids tasted excellent because of their sweetness ratio. They grew in a greenhouse and had to wear hats to prevent sunburn."
"It has become a symbol of local status and is most popular among island countries. The farmers who planted this melon are also called champion farmers."
"If you were at the island country's top fruit shop Sembikiya, they would definitely be like Miss World contestants, each melon surrounded by a white bag with MUSKMELONSPECIALSELECTION on it."
"A variety of strict environmental soil controls. In order to make melons sweeter, farmers will wear white cotton gloves and massage each melon every day..."
After listening to the manager's talk, you guys, buy one and try it!
There were a few strange-shaped ugly oranges next to them. When Xia Long saw the label, he said dissatisfied: "Not even if the melon is gone, the ugly oranges on the street dare to sell 499!"
"This is also from the island country, called Buzhihuo, which is very similar to the ugly orange, but has a bulge on the top, which is bigger and sweeter. It is very hard when bitten, but melts at the mouth, and is known as the most known as the orange."
"There are also this kind of apple. Sekai-ichi means the world's number one. Use honey to clean and package it manually to avoid damage and damage freshness. Use small sticks to pollinate, and the apples are filled with honey, angel urine and the tears of the local tycoons."
