NOVEL WEB Chapter 405 Overlord Of Thousand Peaks
Before the airship landed at the Giant Valley Airport, Fu Han was able to get a bird's eye view of the entire Thousand Blades Mountains from the air. Fu Han dared to say that anyone could understand why it was named "Thousand Blades" just by taking a look at it from this perspective.
The Thousand Blades Mountains are criss-crossed, but generally run from south to north. Regardless of whether it is vertical or horizontal, the east side of Qianren Mountain is barren of grass. Stalagmites like sharp knives protrude from the mountain wall and point directly to the east!
Viewed from the air, it really looks like a super huge horse.
But according to legend, it should be called "Rejecting the Dragon". It is said that two ancient dragons once fought here, and one of them was nailed to death by the other on the stalagmites of Thousand Blades Peak. Its blood contaminated a large area of land, leaving it barren of grass.
This kind of thing is difficult to verify. Although there is indeed a large wasteland to the east of Qianren Mountain, it is connected to the Sun Desert further northwest, which always gives people the impression that it is the result of desertification of the land. But if you want to say that this is not the case, the forest area to the east is full of green. The separation is too clear, and it doesn't look like it was formed naturally at all.
In fact, to say that the separation is clear, the Thousand Blades Mountain Range itself is quite strange.
All the mountain faces to the east are like sharp knives, while the west side of the mountains is lush and green. Only one unique plant of Qianren Mountain grows among them - Bawang Bamboo.
Bawang bamboo is a very thick bamboo, with a diameter of more than 50 centimeters and a height of nearly 100 meters. Its leaves are also very wide and tend to block out the sun once they mature. It is already difficult for other plants to survive under such a behemoth. The Overlord Bamboo will even use bamboo shoots to destroy the root systems of other plants, so that no other plants can survive in the entire Thousand Blades Mountains.
It is indeed a very domineering bamboo. However, although the Overlord Bamboo is domineering, it does not grow outside Qianren Mountain. Otherwise, Qixing Land might be dominated by this plant.
Entering the Valley of the Giants, the Overlord Bamboo becomes much cuter. The tough and slender Bawang bamboo with few knots will turn into a deep and atmospheric purple after drying. After polishing, it can be made into quite beautiful handicrafts and furniture.
On the street outside the airport, there are many shops owned by bamboo craftsmen. There were many customers, but the bamboo craftsman boss looked ugly and seemed extremely impatient. This is a major characteristic of the people of Giant God Valley. The greater their ability, the worse their temper. It is somewhat similar to the craftsmen of Ming Mansion, but even worse.
There’s no way around it, cool and comfortable bamboo furniture is so popular in Sun City. But the Bamboo Industry Federation of Giant God Valley does not allow any manufacturing techniques that destroy traditional craftsmanship to increase production. Therefore, the businessman could only try his best to go to the Valley of the Giants to work hard.
I am so annoyed by these people that even those who have no temper have a temper. Fu Han saw a woman shouting at a young man in formal clothes: "I'm afraid you don't want me to tire myself to death!! No way, no way at all!"
Fu Han originally wanted to buy some furniture so that he could move into the Guao Tower. It's better to match the modern design fabric sofas, tables and chairs that Fu Han stuffed in before.
However, seeing how fierce the bamboo craftsman was, Fu Han lost interest in buying it. It’s not something that will kill someone if you don’t buy it, so why bother?
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, he saw the bamboo craftsman walking towards Fu Han in a hurry. Without any explanation, he stuffed something into Fu Han's hand.
There was no sign at all, so Fu Han was naturally stunned. When he opened his hand and took a look, he saw a pair of purple Overlord Bamboo earrings. The olive-shaped ball made of polished thick bamboo walls has hollow patterns of flowers and birds, which is quite delicate and beautiful.
Before Fu Han could ask any questions, the bad-tempered bamboo craftsman said, "Young man, I think your girlfriend is very pleasing to the eye. It's time for her to match my earrings and give them to you."
girlfriend? Fu Han looked at Weiwei beside him and wanted to explain, but saw that the bamboo craftsman had already left in a hurry. So Fu Han had to change his words and shout: "Thank you!"
The bamboo craftsman waved his hand without looking back, and then disappeared.
"Here~" Fu Han had no choice but to hand the earrings to Weiwei.
This is a person from the Valley of the Giants, with an unpredictable temper. If she likes it, she can give it away for free. She doesn't like her, and she has no way to do it even if she has money.
…
Speaking of which, it was the right time for Fu Han to travel to many places. But this time I was not so lucky when I went to the Valley of the Giants.
The Valley of the Titans is most suitable to visit in winter. On the one hand, the climate in the Valley of the Titans is warm and winter is not particularly cold. On the other hand, the delicacy of Giant God Valley, "Golden Clothes and White Jade", is a delicacy only available in winter. It's June now and it's very hot.
The so-called golden clothes and white jade refers to the new winter bamboo shoots. Peel off the golden bamboo shoot skin, and the white jade-like bamboo shoot meat inside is very thick, tender, and crispy!
Throughout the winter, the mountains and plains south of Qianren Mountain are full of these things. They are plentiful and very cheap. But things don’t mean they are bad because they are cheap. The winter bamboo shoots in golden clothes and white jade are both cheap and good!
With such top-notch and cheap ingredients, there is no need to have too particular cooking techniques.
It can be stir-fried, boiled in soup, stewed, chopped and steamed. As the saying goes, the taste of the world is happiness. Or, eat it with noodles or rice noodles. With the crispy fresh winter bamboo shoots in it, the taste level will always be on a higher level.
After boiling it in water, it can be cooled to make spicy, spicy or sour, or it can be boiled directly into the hot pot. It can also satisfy the needs of those who don't like spicy food.
It’s not hard to imagine sitting in front of a hot cooking pot in the dead of winter. Blanch two pieces of mutton and a piece of bamboo shoots with delicious mutton soup, dip them into the spicy dish before eating them. The deliciousness of the mutton, the crispness and tenderness of the bamboo shoots, mixed with the spiciness, bloom in your mouth, what a wonderful taste it will be.
In short, no matter how you cook this golden and white jade, the word "delicious" always runs through it. It can satisfy the taste habits of most people, making people unable to put it down.
But, but, but, these have nothing to do with Fu Han... At this time, Fu Han could only eat some hot pot with chicken stewed in sour bamboo shoots as the soup base.
To be honest, the chicken with bamboo shoots is actually one of a kind and tastes very good.
Free-range chickens are rare in the Alliance, and food companies can have chickens ready for slaughter in forty-five days. It's a specially bred variety, and it's all wood and minced chicken breast. Compared with free-range chickens like the Valley of the Giants, which have been free-range for at least six months, they are simply fighting chickens among the garbage!
This kind of free-range chicken has a rich aroma, which is just in harmony with the taste of sour dried bamboo shoots. It can produce a sour flavor that fully stimulates the taste buds and can whet your appetite even in the hot summer.
But even though the chicken hot pot with dried bamboo shoots was already very good, Fu Han was still more concerned about the fresh winter bamboo shoots that he had not eaten.
People are always more worried about what they don’t get.
In fact, the Valley of the Giants at this time also has a delicacy that is unique only in summer. That is a larval insect that lives inside the Overlord Bamboo. The locals call it bamboo insect. The adult bamboo insect looks a bit like a bee or a scarab beetle. The larvae of bamboo insects are shaped like maggots.
The locals eat bamboo insects by eating their larvae, as long as they see a yellow trunk of a certain bamboo tree in the bamboo forest. It is most likely due to insect infestation. As long as it is cut off, the hollows in the bamboo will be filled with larval bamboo insects.
Collect these little maggots and fry them to make them very crispy and delicious. Qi Qilu, Weiwei, Luo Shen and Xiao Zi can all testify to this, and everyone agrees that this kind of bug is delicious.
Accompanied by these crispy bugs, Fu Han's trip was not in vain when he drank a pot of Qianfeng Zui, the fine wine of the Valley of the Giants.
In fact, you can tell whether bamboo insects are delicious or not just by looking at the price. Both locals and foreign tourists in the Valley of the Titans love to eat it. As a result, this kind of bug has to be found deep in the mountains and forests, so it is expensive.
…
After a full meal, Fu Han headed towards the most famous dojo block in the Valley of the Giants. It is said that the star beast resources here are the best in the entire alliance. As a beast master, how could Fu Han miss it?
