Chapter 122 Not Buying It
"Yes."
Bai Sang'er was surprised. Not to be blunt, but nobody eats fish.
That stuff is incredibly fishy and full of bones, especially the fish from the North Sea. You can smell the fishy odor from far away, so nobody touches it. It's usually bought by clans to chop up and feed to their slaves.
Mu Yunyun said confidently, "Let's have a whole fish feast tonight, I'll show off my skills."
There are many ways to eat fish.
Stewing, frying, steaming, and slicing.
If it smells fishy, it means it wasn't prepared properly.
Mu Yunyun brought back a lot of herbs from the hunting grounds this time. You know, seasonings are herbs themselves.
For example, Thirteen Spices was originally used as a medicinal herb to replenish blood and promote qi circulation. Not to mention some spicy herbs, such as Sichuan pepper, which are also used to warm the middle, dispel cold, and relieve pain.
I've gathered a lot of these herbs, and they're all low-grade herbs. They can be found all over the mountains and fields, but there's no chili pepper. It's cold today, and if I used chili pepper to flavor them, the taste would definitely be better.
However, she picked a lot of Sichuan peppercorns, which would be great for making Sichuan peppercorn fish.
There are also braised fish, steamed fish, fried small sea fish, sashimi, and many other varieties that are too numerous to count.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Bai Sang'er had no choice but to give up.
The fish were bought quickly.
Many people came from the North Sea for this autumn hunt, since winter was approaching and the clans needed to support their slaves. They were reluctant to give them game, so they bought these extremely fishy-smelling fish to fill their stomachs.
When Mu Yunyun and her group arrived at the Dijiang Clan, they quickly alerted the people at the banquet.
"What did you say? Eat fish? Are you kidding me!"
Di Yao looked on in disbelief.
She was already feeling angry.
During this autumn hunt, Ying Hua hunted a six-striped beast and even extracted its inner core, thus reaching the peak of the seventh rank. In contrast, she didn't hunt anything at all, so it's no wonder she couldn't be happy.
When she heard that the Nightbird Clan was going to give her food that even slaves wouldn't eat, she immediately exploded.
"How dare the Night Bird Clan treat me with such lowly creatures! Do they really think the Dijiang Clan is easy to bully!"
Hearing Di Yao's furious expression, everyone at the banquet turned to look.
"What's wrong? Why is Yao Ji so angry?"
"I heard that Yao Ji asked the Night Bird Clan to prepare a feast, but the Night Bird Clan went outside the hunting grounds and bought a lot of fish that smelled fishy and rotten."
"What?! The Nightbird Clan is courting death?!"
The clan members looked at each other, their expressions somewhat unpleasant.
This Autumn Mountain Banquet is a grand banquet held once a year in Yuanzhou, organized by the Dijiang clan. Clans from various continents gather here to give face to Yuanzhou and the Dijiang clan.
Do you think we've all come all this way just to eat this filthy stuff that even slaves wouldn't eat?
"In the end, Lady Yaoji simply doesn't take us seriously."
"That's not quite right. Lady Yaoji is young and not mature enough. Such a grand banquet should be organized by Lady Yingji."
"Exactly, I don't know what the old clan chief was thinking, letting a second daughter organize such a grand banquet."
The mocking words of the crowd reached Yao Ji's ears, making her grit her teeth and feel humiliated.
She stood up abruptly: "All of you shut up! If you hadn't said the Nightbird Clan's food was good, I wouldn't have let them come over. Now you're blaming me? What kind of logic is that?"
The crowd did not buy this explanation.
"What do you mean by that, Lady Yaoji? We only mentioned it briefly. Besides, is this how the Dijiang Clan treats its guests at such a grand autumn banquet?"
"This is absurd. If your Dijiang clan is going to use this to fob us off, then we might as well not sit here."
"let's go."
"Go, go, go."
