NOVEL NEXT Chapter 228 Blue Cheese
The Persian merchants were generous, and no one continued to raise prices.
Mao Xi decided to sell all the bird's nests he brought this time to this foreign merchant.
This bird's nest alone was sold by Mao Xi for more than two hundred gold. She couldn't help but sigh, foreigners really have a lot of money.
By the way, there were also mushrooms. She took out some of the remaining mushrooms and wanted the Persian businessman to collect them all.
"Brother, my mushrooms are picked and dried in the mountains. Today, I will entrust you to take care of the bird's nest business. I will sell it to you at the original price in Lingnan. It is very affordable."
After asking about the price, the Persian businessman generously accepted all her mushrooms again.
"Friend, the price of your mushrooms is half cheaper than the ones sold in the market. You are so kind!"
Lou Lan'er snickered inwardly, thinking that this exotic camel really cost a lot of money, but he didn't think it was expensive for a tonic like bird's nest.
The camel rider took out a ball of cheese from the bag and gave it to Mao Xi.
"Girl, this is our specialty there: blue cheese. It's a pleasure to work with you today. I'll give it all to you. You can cut it and eat it directly, or you can cook it and grill it."
"Western Region Blue Cheese! Ah Shu, this is a rare item among cheeses. I have never tasted it!" Lou Lan'er reached out and accepted the cheese for Shu Xi.
When this cheese is taken out, those who have never eaten it will smell a rancid smell.
Although Mo Xia ate sauerkraut, she couldn't bear the sour smell of the cheese. She pinched her nose and asked, "Sister Lan'er, are you sure this cheese is really edible? How can I smell it better than the smell of stinky tofu?" It smells even worse."
"Sister Mo Xia, do you still eat stinky tofu?" Shui Xi thought people here couldn't tolerate the taste of stinky tofu.
"Not only stinky tofu, there is also a kind of pickled fish bream that also has a stinky smell...but it's not as smelly as this."
The Persian camel driver cut some small pieces with a knife and distributed them to everyone.
Mao Xi took a piece and put it in his mouth first, then chewed it slowly.
This cheese was sour and had a strong taste, with a strong milky aroma. It was a sour smell that was acceptable to her.
Since it was not a dish made of cheese, Mao Xi just took a small bite in his mouth and swallowed it lightly.
But... the stamina came, and when she swallowed it, the smell of smelly socks flooded into her mouth and rushed directly to her skull.
Mao Xi pretended to be calm and didn't make it too obvious.
Lou Lan'er was very happy to eat, and she had dug it into her mouth for the third time.
Mu Zhiyuan and Mo Xia, who were on the side, only took one bite, and their expressions couldn't stop themselves!
"yue~" Although Mo Xia swallowed the blue cheese, she made two retching expressions.
Mu Zhiyuan took a water bag and kept pouring water into his throat.
It appears that the blue cheese challenge failed.
The Persian merchants still looked sincere, do you still want this cheese?
Lou Laner immediately wrapped the cheese in three layers and stuffed it into her luggage.
"We want it. Thanks to this big brother, this cheese is the most delicious I have ever tasted!"
"You are still a little girl, you know the goods~ I have set up a stall here for a week, and no one from outside dares to accept my cheese. Only you who have eaten cheese since you have never eaten cheese can accept it."
"Don't be discouraged, everyone will accept it one day."
After bidding farewell to the Persian merchants, Mo Xia looked at Lou Laner with disgust: "You just put that piece of cheese in your bag? Your clothes will be smelly by then."
"No, no, you've never tasted delicacies made from cheese!"
Mo Xia didn't understand why she couldn't accept this blue cheese given her acceptance of food. She could also eat yogurt.
But this blue cheese is like rotten spinach and tofu, stinky and hard to swallow.
Mao Xi has not yet recovered from the blue cheese attack, and now all he can think about is finding a drink shop and drinking something refreshing to get rid of the cheese smell.
"We sell fragrant drinks, fragrant drinks to relieve the summer heat~"
There were shouts in their ears, and everyone followed the sound to find a drink shop.
The drink seller was a young girl. She opened a large wooden ice tray beside her and said, "Sir, what kind of drinks do you want to drink? The shop sells the most popular iced drinks in Beidu. Look. ~”
The ice bowl contains drinks, and a hollow groove around it is filled with ice cubes.
"Where did the ice cubes here come from?" Shui Xi couldn't help but become curious.
"These are all stored in the ice cellar in winter, just waiting to be used as ice drinks in summer."
Mo Xia on the side had not yet recovered from the smell of blue cheese, and hurriedly asked the girl: "What is your most fragrant drink? Give us some."
"Wait a moment." After the girl finished speaking, she opened the lid of the ice bottle and poured out a pot of perilla drink. "Sir, your ice perilla drink is the best-selling drink here in summer. Please Savor it slowly.”
"Ah Shu, our shop doesn't sell this perilla drink, is it..." Lou Lan'er asked.
Previously, there were too many shops in the same city selling perilla drink and Chinese medicine soup, so Mao Xi did not develop drinks in this direction.
She took a sip of the perilla drink. The taste was nothing special, but at this time, it was particularly useful to them.
After all, I just ate a piece of stinky cheese, and now even the ordinary perilla drink seems to be particularly delicious, like nectar.
Moreover, the summer weather in Beisu is drier and hotter than that in Lingnan. No wonder people here love to drink this perilla drink.
Not sure if it was psychological reasons, Mo Xia touched her belly and always felt that the piece of blue cheese made her stomach feel uncomfortable.
The shopkeeper of the drink stall quickly noticed the customer's discomfort.
She walked to Mo Xia and asked softly: "Does this guest have some indigestion?"
"Shopkeeper, do you have any warm drinks here? I'm afraid I drank the ice drink too quickly and my stomach felt a little uncomfortable."
"Please wait!"
After a while, the female shopkeeper came to Mo Xia with a bowl of fragrant hot drink and said, "Girl, this is the spleen-shrinking drink, it's warm."
The taste of this drink was more fragrant than the perilla drink. Mao Xi smelled the flavors of black plum meat, grass fruit, licorice, and white lentils.
She had only drunk the iced one, called Xue Pao Shuipi Drink, and this warm one must have tasted good too.
"Shopkeeper, can I ask you something?" Mao Xi put down the drink and called the shopkeeper over, "Do you sell dried sea buckthorn fruits here?"
Mao Xi still couldn't forget the sea buckthorn fruit.
"Yes, but it must be in the north of the city, near the uninhabited desert area. There are merchants selling dried fruits at very affordable prices. Judging from the accent, you must be from other places!"
"That's right, shopkeeper, these are Xiangyinzi's money." Shui Xi paid the bill and got up impatiently, preparing to head to the north of the city.
Lou Lan'er turned around and headed toward the west of the city: "Ah Shu, you go first. I'll give the piece of blue cheese I'm carrying to the old woman selling handmade rice."
