About who is the first person that ate crabs on earth, there are several different versions of this legend. Some said it was Dayu's (the chieftain of Xia dynasty) subordinate Xia Bajie, some said it was a private assistant in Shaoxing city, Zhejiang province. But there is a written record in Emperor Wu's Cultivation Tale. It was written by Guo Xian, who was born in the eastern Han dynasty. In volume three, it records "the country Shanyuan paid a tribute with a crab, which was nine feet long , had one hundred feet and four claws. Therefore, it was named as one-hundred feet crab. The soup made of crab shell, also called crab claw soup, was better than the soup made of fish maw, and even phoenix beak ."
Emperor Wu's Cultivation Tale itself was about strange stories came out of people's imagination, therefore, it should not be studied as historical materials. But from its description, we could know that crabs already existed in the eastern Han dynasty because literature originates from life and is above life. Only when there is the creature "One-hundred feet crabs", can they describe it.
In Olund, Fang Tang would undoubtedly be the first one to eat crabs.
Eill Village is located in the northwest corner of Olund, and the local people here prefer salty and spicy flavor food. So there are some spicy accessory, the most common one is a plant called Wulie Grass. This grass is dark in color, with thick leaves and red veins. Because in recent months, traders have stopped coming to this village due to Sarman, the nearest town for purchasing life supply is Venoa. For some reason,the villagers here try to avoid buying things from that town. As a result, there is not much stock of Wulie Grass left in the village, so villagers who haven't had the spicy food for a long time feel this snake meat is extremely delicious.
Fang Tang chewed some Wulie Grass in the village chief's kitchen and felt it was not spicy enough. But the taste of Wulie Grass seeds was kind of similar to that of green prickleyash. As he expected, this grass seeds were thrown away by the local people because it was regarded as an useless stuff in their opinion. In Olund, people have no idea about adding spice in food.
In the culinary art of the earth, adding spice is a crucial part. Compared with human taste, people's sense of smell is more acute. In terms of flavors, we can taste sour, sweet,bitter, spicy and salty. But in smell, our sense of smell can distinguish thousands of different ones.
It should be said that the vast majority of animals, including humans, can obtain much more information from the outside through their sense of smell than through their taste. And the sense of smell can better arouse people's memory and trigger their emotions related to taste, that's why people would use perfume to enhance personal charm.
Likewise, spices can also greatly enhance the charm of a dish.
Families in this village all use baskets to store Wulie Grass, and the grass was almost used up. But if you shake the basket upside down, there would be lots of grass seeds dropping out. Therefore, Fang Tang told the families to collect the grass seeds and give them to him.
Because of his unprecedented tasty meal last night, Fang Tang's reputation in Eill Village was quickly improved. As long as he needs any help, the villagers would be ready to give a hand. So his words now work better than the village chief.
In their eyes, Fang Tang is omnipotent. He can kill the magical beasts Sarman and use its meat to made tasty food, he can also apply healing spell in food so that the villagers with poor health could be effectively cured in next day. What they expect is to have a similar dish again, so when they hear that Fang Tang is going to cook, they all line up waiting for dinner.
The villagers here are discussing that the dish made of Sarman meat is actually a magic cuisine, only the nobles and mages are qualified to have it. They believe that Reverend Roy must be an angel sent by gods, so that they could enjoy this high-class cuisine.
About their discussion, Fang Tang gave a smile as his answer.Because he didn't know much about this world, he felt that it was safe to keep himself mysterious in their thinking.
Fang Tang doesn't mind cooking for them, but the villagers should also provide some help, so the men here are all asked to catch crabs in the river. Crabs are not warcraf in this plane, although they look uglier and more fierce than their compatriots living on the earth. Moreover, their shells are harder and there are spikes on them. No wonder people here never think about eating them. These crabs move quite slow, so it's easy to catch them with tuck net.
It is October now in Olund, the golden month to catch fat crabs. Fang Tang replaced peppercorns with Wulie Grass seeds to cook the dish spicy crabs. Generally, people would put celery in this dish, but Fang Tang doesn't put it because like celery, and he hasn't found any alternative vegetables either.
The deep-fried golden crabs are attractive in color and succulent in the taste of their meat. In particular the red and golden crab roe, it has a quite appealing aroma. Compared to the snake meat he cooked yesterday, this spicy crabs is superior in aroma.
This time, the old village chief Morgan took the lead in tasting this dish after Fang Tang. With a big bite, the delicate and unique flavor of crabs spread in his mouth, the fine and soft texture of crab meat is something old Morgan has never experienced. It felt like there was a long spike crab-shaped gate appearing in front of him, as he took another bite, this gate was opened all of a sudden. Behind the gate, there was a cave filled gold like yellow crab roe and gems like crab meat, which have a seductive aroma. And a group of holy angels singing carols around him, "eat it, please eat it. the gold is yours, and gems are all yours..."
As he eats, old Morgan sheds tears of happiness, "Being able to have such nice food is really because of the gospel of God. Reverend Roy, please allow me to build an altar for Mother of Cats and Goddess of Travel, to thank her for giving us food."
Fang Tang had planned to take Eill Village as his first foothold in Olund, so he was undoubtedly happy to hear the villager chief propose to build a residence.
At this time, Jiang Jinjiu came over with a jar of alcohol, "How can we have crabs without spirits? I put the snake bile of the python soaked with the white wine I brought to make this spirits. Would you like to have a try?"
Seeing that Jiang Jinjiu poured a glass of spirit for Fang Tang, old Morgan ran home and took out a bottle of alcohol.
"This is a gift from a dwarf friend many years ago, and I have never find the perfect time to open it. Today, I want to share it with you."
Jiang Jinjiu is a completely liquor fan, so it's impossible for him to do nothing when there is liquor from another plane sitting in front of him. Right after the villager's words, he grabbed a glass and poured some for himself. This liquor is similar to dark beer on the earth. It has a dark color and rich foam, but its alcohol is no less than white wine.
Old Morgan stared blankly at Jiang Jinjiu who drank three large glass in about one minute.
"Master, this dwarf's liquor needs to be blended with water before you drink it. Even the dwarf warriors wouldn't drink it like this, otherwise they will get drunk very fast."
Jiang Jinjiu didn't understand what old Morgan was talking about, and he wouldn't care even if he understood it. Jiang Jinjiu got to know liquor at a very young age, and he never got drunk since he learned Kungfu.
Although Fang Tang is not as inhuman as Jiang Jinjiu in drinking liquor, he is not bad. He poured a glass of dwarf's liquor for himself with smile. Unlike the white wine, which is smooth and mellow, this liquor has a very weird taste even though its also strong. Besides, it's a little turbid in color which tells you that it hasn't been well filtered.
According to the standards on the earth, this can only be considered as inferior wine, and Jiang Jinjiu should have no interests in it. But he is enjoying it like it's some kind of top-quality liquor. After a few glasses, he suddenly put down the glass and concentrated on gathering his force.
As Jiang Jinjiu's intimate friend, Fang Tang knew that something unusual had happened, so he asked others to make way out of the open space without making any loud noise.
In a blink, there seemed to be a whirlwind blowing around Jiang Jinjiu, and this blue whirlwind got stronger and stronger. Confronted with this situation, the villagers retreated further and further. A muffled sound came out of his body, after that this whirlwind turned into a bright glow, like a green lotus blooming in the moonlight. And Jiang Jinjiu, standing in the middle of this green lotus solemnly, made a long howl, and this weird vision dissipated.
"Battled wills formation", shouted the old Morgan in shock.
"What is that?" asked Fang Tang.
Old Morgan was still immersed in shock, and did not notice that Fang Tang, as a priest, did not even have the common sense about battle wills formation.
"Generally, battle wills would bud in warriors when they cultivated to level 5, it could be emerged at the level 10 and formed at level 15, therefore, those who are above level 15 are also called glorious warriors. Only when the warriors complete their battle wills formation, can they rival with the mages. I didn't know that master Kratos is a powerful and glorious warrior."
Having concluded what he was doing, Jiang Jinjiu listened to Fang Tang's translation about the statement battle wills formation, laughed and shook his head.
"I don't know anything about battle wills formation, and what I learned is not the so called battle wills either."
"I thought it would take at least another two or three years to break through. I didn't expect to have such an opportunity in this world, which helped me break through the bottleneck ahead of time."
"Bro Jiang, what kind of Kungfu are you practicing, which is so cool and powerful? I have asked you many times, and you always try to be mysterious and don't answer me directly."
After breaking through the bottleneck, Jiang Jinjiu was in a quite good mood. He looked around and said " Fine,they couldn't understand Chinese anyway."
"I didn't tell you before is because the name of this Kungfu sounds stupid, so I don't want to turn this into a joke. My father invented this unique Kungfu, which is called Chiang Chin Chiu Magic Power."
