Chapter 408: Grilled Onions
After making up his mind, Yoshiyuki hurriedly read through the other parts of the book and selected the parts he liked.
Sure enough, the most interesting parts of the book are basically related to the journey.
The author is very good at describing interesting things on the road.
Moreover, this frequent traveler was also seasick.
Yoshiyuki was a little surprised by this, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing strange about it.
After all, no one stipulates that people who frequently travel to sea should not get seasick. And I should be more or less used to it when I feel dizzy.
Yoshiyuki felt that most people were seasick.
At least, there are definitely not a few people who faint and vomit when taking a boat for the first time.
Although he had never taken a boat out to sea and had only taken a small boat like the one in the park, he could already expect that he would get seasick.
No matter how strong a person is, he may be the same as ordinary people in a place like this.
For example, if the master is so strong, he will also get seasick - even car-sick.
This made Yoshiyuki very interesting.
Because Master can drive.
He claims that he does not get dizzy when driving, but he gets dizzy in an exaggerated manner when riding in a car, to the point where he is dizzy enough to vomit out his intestines.
Yoshiyuki felt that such a metaphor could no longer be exaggerated, and it was quite flavorful.
He had already begun to imagine that his throat might be filled with shit during the process of vomiting.
As for why I don’t get dizzy while driving but can only do so while sitting in a car, Yoshiyuki actually thinks that it may have something to do with whether my attention is diverted.
When driving, your energy is very concentrated, and the dizzy reaction is naturally blocked.
It's like he might feel sleepy when watching exercise videos, but he's basically very energetic when he actually goes out to exercise - of course, he only has experience in solo exercise.
All in all, everything about the travel process in this book is actually not as attractive to Yoshiyuki as the food-related parts.
He even felt hungry as he looked at it, and his stomach growled in a way that was quite rude to others.
The contagiousness seems to be the same as yawning.
As soon as one person in the room starts yawning, everyone else is likely to yawn as well.
Therefore, the growling sound of Yoshiyuki's stomach soon caused a commotion without words.
The stomachs of the customers who were studying nearby started to growl one after another.
Everyone pretended to be expressionless, as if nothing happened.
Instead, it made Yi Xing a little embarrassed.
Why……
At this time, if the eldest lady and the others were here, what would they say when they heard my stomach rumbling?
It's probably dinner time, let's eat together or something...
If someone brings snacks, they will give me some.
When Yoshiyuki thought of this, he became sad.
On the one hand, I miss my companions.
On the one hand, I feel that in order to save money, I can only eat the same old dry food at noon.
Salted fish and bacon are better.
It's just a little salty, and although it doesn't taste good, it's just that, nothing special.
Only the bread and fried rice made him want to vomit.
Bread is the cheapest coarse bread.
That was different from coarse bread in modern times on earth, which is more expensive than white bread. It was genuine coarse bread.
The taste is literally thick!
It contains less than 10% white flour, and Yi Xing even suspected that sawdust was added to it.
The taste...it's slightly sour, not fragrant at all, and there's no way it's sweet.
Even though the ingredients were already so poor, they had been stored for a long time and had become hard and dry.
This makes it taste so rough that it can be described as torture to the throat.
The process of swallowing this thing is very painful.
Every bite feels like it's stabbing your throat. Even if they have successfully slipped into the stomach, there is still a vague feeling that something is stuck in the throat and has not been swallowed. It's like taking a lot of medicine in one go, but drinking too little water when taking it.
All in all, you have to be very careful when chewing this thing.
Because occasionally there will be very hard wheat husks and small sand inside.
So far no stones or rat droppings have been eaten.
It's gratifying.
If he hadn't had to leave for something, Yoshiyuki would have really wished to stay in the library for a few more hours.
He has always liked reading books. In Jiuyuan Township, where entertainment activities are far scarcer than on Earth due to the lack of Internet and various electronic devices, the allure of books has been greatly enhanced.
Moreover, every time I read a book, the most interesting part is related to food.
When it comes to writing about food in this book, probably the most interesting part is the Roasted Onion Festival.
It was an annual celebration held in a small town in the Twin Towers Kingdom.
The so-called grilled onions are not grilled green onions, but leeks grilled until their appearance is dark.
On weekdays, it is sold as a set meal.
The set meal includes these foods: grilled leeks, fist-sized sausage slices, brown bread slices, white olives marinated in fruit vinegar, hummus, boiled lentils, blood sausage, and lamb that is basically grilled until black. Pai, apple sparkling wine.
As for the Roasted Onion Festival, it is a food festival where everyone gathers together to enjoy the delicious roasted onions. It is not an official holiday, nor is it a holiday, but everyone consciously skips work and fishes to celebrate.
At this festival, many people dress up as monsters and push a giant leek sculpture through the market.
There will also be a performance by a clown dressed as a leek - Yi Xing can't imagine how to dress up like a leek and a clown at the same time.
All in all, at this festival, everyone can help themselves to grilled leeks, sausages and other foods and enjoy them.
The way to eat grilled onions is also very simple. Just peel off the dark skin and dip it in a sauce mixed with white pepper juice, hummus, apple cider vinegar, applesauce, garlic paste, basil leaves and beef sauce.
In the evening of this festival, there is a competition to see who is the master of grilled onions.
The contestants are divided into groups, and each contestant has to take six grilled leeks. The contestant who eats them first wins. Then challenge other players.
The author said that this requires a lot of skills to do - you have to insert the leek into the throat vertically, and use rapid chewing and thrusting to stuff it down.
Looking at this description, Yoshiyuki couldn't help but start to imagine what kind of scene it was.
He couldn't help but think of the roasted leek as a sword.
indeed so.
Players who can win this kind of competition will definitely have the strength to challenge sword swallowing. You can work as a street performer.
Of course... a real sword must not be swallowed.
The kind that artists swallow are specially made swords. The tip of the sword will retract as soon as it hits the throat.
So what is actually swallowed is just the hilt of the sword!
