Chapter 372 Is the gene mutated
Among these ingredients, there were a few that really made Tao Jiaren look at them for a long time.
At this time, her eyes were attracted by a table.
"Here, what kind of fish is this?" Looking at one fish occupying an entire square table, it has obviously been processed.
Tao Jiaren's eyes were full of amazement. There was such a big fish and it looked strange.
Baitao glanced at it and replied casually: "Oh, this is a manta ray."
"What? What, devil? Devil fish?"
She could understand these three words, but why when they were combined together, it became a little difficult to understand them.
Tao Jiaren looked at the strange flat fish and suddenly remembered what Baitao said casually before. She didn't know whether Winter Melon cheated first or Pumpkin was uncouth.
She wanted to complain now. She didn't know if the bat cheated or split his legs, which resulted in such a strange-looking fish.
I won’t mention the names like lobster, king crab, unicorn shrimp, anchovy shrimp, etc. Although there are suspicions of overstepping, the names are nice to hear.
But the name of this fish is manta ray, which makes people think it is unlucky.
Seeing Tao Jiaren frowning, Baitao didn't know what she was muttering in her heart.
After all, when Baitao just took out the manta ray, the villagers were stunned for a while when they heard the name.
But because it was Baitao who brought it out, although the villagers were stunned for a long time because of the name of the fish, they didn't make a fuss, especially after hearing Baitao's popular science.
People in Taohua Village now have the impression that this fish really tastes good.
The villagers also know that the deeper the sea, the weirder the fish look.
It is said that there are fish with eyes that have degenerated and are no longer used.
Baitao: "This fish has another name, manta ray."
"The reason why it is called the devil fish is because it has two protruding cephalic fins that are separated from the pectoral fins in front of its head, just like the horns on the devil's head, so it is also called the devil fish among the people. ”
Hearing this, Tao Jiaren immediately asked, "Didn't you choose this name?"
Baitao shook his head: "Of course not."
Before she traveled through time, she was an ordinary person, and then she encountered the apocalypse and could only struggle to survive.
Such a powerful thing as naming fish has nothing to do with her.
It’s just that the people in Taohua Village don’t seem to think so. Especially for the domineering and powerful names like lobster and king crab, the villagers think she gave them to them.
After all, no one had ever seen Baitao before he brought out these seafood. To say the least, even if the fishermen on the beach might have seen it, they wouldn't be able to come up with such a mighty and domineering name.
Therefore, the villagers are extremely proud of this: Our aunt is so powerful, no one else would have thought of such a name, right? !
Tao Jiaren immediately said: "The person with this name is so incompetent."
Before Baitao could speak, she continued to say disgustingly: "Does having horns mean you are a devil? Has anyone seen what a devil looks like?"
It's not a good idea to choose a name. Such a name is simply scary, not to mention elegant.
"This..." Baitao shook his head and said to himself, how could I know.
If we really want to find the reason, it is probably that in modern Western mythology, devils always have horns. Tao Jiaren curled her lips and then complained: "Have you ever seen pigs running before you have eaten pork? Those with horns are obviously cattle, sheep, deer and other livestock."
Baitao nodded in agreement: "This fish is actually quite gentle in temperament. It has plenty of meat without thorns and is delicious in texture. Delicious in one word!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Tao Jiaren laughed and corrected: "It's two words!"
Bai Tao waved her little hand in a sweet voice and hummed: "Oh, don't worry about such details."
It happened that Bai Dashan came to Baitao for advice on something, so Tao Jiaren began to look at the rich ingredients on the table.
Next to her, Bai Xiaofu followed her introduction carefully.
"This is hairtail, also called swordfish. It lives in a deep sea environment and dies soon after going out to sea."
"The reason for this is that the pressure balance inside and outside the hairtail's body is maintained by the high-pressure environment of the deep sea. When it is fished out of the water, the external pressure is much lower than the pressure in the deep sea, causing the pressure inside the hairtail's body to suddenly change and unable to adapt, thus Death quickly..."
Bai Xiaofu: "If you want to eat fresh hairtail, you must have enough ice on the fishing boat. Once the hairtail is caught, use ice to keep it fresh quickly."
Tao Jiaren nodded and her eyes fell on a strange-looking fish in a disk. This fish looked soft and had an indescribably strange appearance. It had several tentacles.
Bai Xiaofu followed her line of sight and blurted out immediately.
"This is a squid. It looks like it has been peeled off, but in fact it looks like this. Most squids are about the size of two or three fingers, and such big ones are rare."
As Bai Xiaofu spoke, he murmured in his heart that last time he saw a big squid weighing more than fifty kilograms. This time it weighed more than twenty kilograms. Although it was big, it was not bad.
Fried squid with green pepper is quite delicious, and of course grilled squid is also delicious.
Tao Jiaren nodded, pointed to another plate next to her, and said with some hesitation, "Is this also squid?"
They looked similar but not the same, and she thought to herself, could it be that as the little cutie said, it was a close relative marriage, or maybe one of them cheated on the other, so the genes mutated?
If Baitao knew that Tao Jiaren used her casual jokes on things she saw from time to time, she would probably not know whether to laugh or cry.
Bai Xiaofu: "No, this is cuttlefish."
"Boss Tao, please take a look. The body of the squid is slender and tapered, a bit like a red tassel gun, while the body of the cuttlefish is wider and flat, more like a ball."
"The squid has a triangular head with a pair of particularly long tentacles, while the cuttlefish has an oval head with sparsely arranged suction cups on the tentacles."
"There is a translucent cartilage in the body of the squid, and there is a hard bone in the body of the cuttlefish. This bone is called 'sea sheath' in Chinese medicine..."
While listening, Tao Jiaren nodded and praised: "You know so much."
Bai Xiaofu smiled sheepishly, with a proud look on his little face: "Our aunt taught us all this knowledge, and our aunt is really amazing!"
"Our aunt said, you can't just eat, you also have to know how to distinguish."
"In terms of use and taste, squid is often used in barbecue, stir-fry, etc., and the meat is tender but slightly chewy, while cuttlefish is mostly used in hot pot, making ink pasta, etc., and the meat is tender and elastic."
< br>
Speaking of this, Bai Xiaofu suddenly said: "The cuttlefish balls commonly eaten in hot pot are made of cuttlefish meat. Our aunt likes them very much."
After hearing this, Tao Jiaren suddenly said: "Yes."
She had eaten it several times and found the cuttlefish balls to be quite tasty, but she didn't think much of it.
