The aquatic products in the Styx River are shaped like deep-sea fish.
There is a joke in the rivers and lakes that the deep sea is too dark, so the fish in the deep sea just grow up casually, and just live in the future.
Then the aquatic products in the Styx River are almost comparable to the aquatic animals in the deep sea.
It is probably because the Styx River cannot see the depth of the water at a glance, or it may be because the Styx River has a long history, and it also has countless extinct creatures that cannot be found in the world. In short, there are not many normal ones.
Ghost Phoenix knows this.
He also knew that Styx could still find normal fish if he looked around.
The problem is, the fish found by the group of little ghosts in front of them are getting more and more abnormal.
The first fish to play was completely transparent, with its eyes sunken deep in its head, and it was not hiding outside at all. Because the flesh is transparent, the brain, bones, and internal organs inside the fish are all clearly visible, and the sharp teeth are as thin as needle points, which is very frightening.
Transparent is transparent, and its shape can be regarded as a normal torpedo.
The second fish that came out looked like a flower. The color is orange-yellow slats, and it feels a bit wide and three-dimensional when it is laid flat, but it looks like a blooming piranha because of its huge mouth.
This is beyond the normal appearance of freshwater fish.
The color is so bright that even ghosts and phoenixes suspect that this fish is poisonous to eat.
The third one was not a fish at all.
Because ghost and phoenix want frogs.
What is the concept of frog? A frog frog has one mouth, two eyes and four legs.
What about this frog
First of all, this frog is blood red all over. Secondly, there is a small lantern on the top of its head, which has a row of small teeth. With such a small body still lighting the lamp, I don't know whether it is the food or the natural enemy that attracts it first.
As for the fourth species, due to its large size, during the process of carrying it in, its tail fell into the magma and was directly burned into carbon black.
Ghost Phoenix: "..."
He didn't think it would work.
He doesn't want to eat this creature.
After drinking the nectar for thousands of years, he finally began to accept ordinary food, and he didn't want to eat such a strange species, making himself like a glutton.
Meng Xiaoni's hot pot base was accidentally more than half ready. When she looked back, she saw the group of gray little devils trying to push an extremely huge fish into the magma.
She was surprised: "This fish is so big. Do they want to eat grilled fish?"
Guifeng looked deeply at Meng Xiaoni: "No, they just want to test the temperature of this magma."
Meng Xiaoni: "..."
These words sounded so fake that Meng Xiaoni really didn't know whether to pretend to believe in Guifeng or not.
It seems that after arriving in the human world, the ability of ghosts and phoenixes to make nonsense has skyrocketed.
Immediately afterwards, another group of gray little ghosts brought some aquatic products, humming and humming.
Three fish about two hands long, one after another small transparent fish, and countless flat frogs that finally look like frogs. These aquatic products are so fresh that they are all alive and kicking, and they are also trying to attack the ghost ghost.
Guifeng ordered: "Clean it up."
The Nether ghost immediately got busy.
They laid clean boards on the ground, cleaned up the fish on the spot, and threw the useless ones into the magma.
Then a group of little fellows piled up together like Xianbao, and offered the aquatic products they cleaned up to Meng Xiaoni.
Meng Xiaoni stepped aside and let the group of little guys put them into the pot: "Put it in carefully, be careful of the hot soup splashing out."
The little guys began to throw ingredients into it with a groan.
Cooking hot pot in this way is not like a hot pot, but more like stewing river fish in a big pot.
Meng Xiaoni shook the déjà vu in her head, stepped forward and gently stirred the food inside.
Aquatic products do not need to be cooked for a long time. After cooking for a long time, the meat will become old and fall apart, and it will be melted into the soup, and there is no trace of it.
Meng Xiaoni watched the fish submerge, witnessed the gradual color change of the fish during the slow stirring process, confirmed that it was almost done, and tentatively thought: if it is cooked, you can keep the fire low, instead of boiling the hot pot.
Thinking about it this way, the bubbling bubbles in the pot suddenly calmed down. The various spices that used to fly with the bubbles gradually calmed down with the slight heat wave bubbling in the center, and scattered towards the four sides.
There are a lot of peppers, and the entire upper layer is spread flat, with peppers and transparent small fish mixed in the middle. The three larger fish floated a little shallower, with only a little corner exposed.
As for the bottom, it is invisible. There are too many peppercorns, so I can't look down.
Meng Xiaoni turned her head to look at Guifeng: "You can eat it!"
Guifeng was about to change out the bowls and chopsticks, when he saw the Nether ghost next to him, Qi Shushu raised a big deep bowl on his head, and ran up to Meng Xiaoni, as if asking Meng Xiaoni to look at them more mean.
Meng Xiaoni was taken aback, and counted the number, exactly ten.
Guifeng paused: "This is what the ten kings of Hades intend to have a taste of. They have been paying attention to you."
In the whole hot pot restaurant, apart from the ghost ghosts, there are only Meng Xiaoni and Guifeng.
It turned out that it wasn't the Kings of Hades who let the two of them toss about in the hot pot restaurant, but these Kings of Hades have been paying attention to the two of them.
Meng Xiaoni paused, then continued to look at Guifeng: "Where's your bowl? I want to give you a taste first."
Guifeng made a quick decision, changed into a pot bigger than the ten bowls below, and handed it to Meng Xiaoni.
A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org
Meng Xiaoni scooped up a whole big fish for Guifeng, then spread it with countless small fish and strange frogs, and then poured spicy soup. The aroma diffused, and the aroma on the pot could not stop rising upwards.
She is extremely strong now, and she doesn't feel that her arms are sore at all, and she doesn't feel that she is tired.
After scooping up such a pot, she pushed towards Guifeng: "I don't know how to adjust the temperature of this magma. You go to the table and cook on a low fire. You can add some other ingredients after eating. If there are other ingredients."
Holding the pot, Guifeng glanced contemptuously at the group of ghost ghosts who followed the trend and directly turned the bowl into a small pot. He put his share on another table, turned into chopsticks, and picked up a piece of fish.
Meng Xiaoni was at the front, carefully distributing food among the ten pots.
There are still two big fish left, and each cut a section into it. I want to wait for the quantity of small fish and frogs per serving.
Pour the soup one by one, and serve with the remaining peppercorns and peppers in the pot.
The Nether ghost carried ten small pots, confirmed that Meng Xiaoni would not add anything, and walked towards the door in order, without bumping the small pots on his head at all.
After Meng Xiaoni finished all this work, she looked at the small fish and frogs left in the pot, feeling a little greedy.
She ran to Guifeng and sat down beside Guifeng, watching Guifeng eating hot pot with expectant eyes: "Is it delicious? How do you feel the power inside compares with what I do in the world?"
Ghost Phoenix picked up a piece of transparent fish.
Judging from the color, this transparent fish piece looks like a crystal jelly, as if it will be crushed and dropped by chopsticks in a second. The orange-red spicy soup is dyed on it, which is delicious at first glance.
Guifeng put the fish piece into his mouth and tasted it carefully.
"Smooth, delicate, tender, and very delicious. The energy contained in it is stronger than those made in the world. You didn't control yourself to reduce the output just now."
Meng Xiaoni put her face in her hands and propped it on the table, with confusion: "But I don't feel any special power in me at all. If I didn't want to heat up and cool down, the pot really heats up and cools down, I would think that I Just an ordinary person."
Guifeng put another piece of frog meat into her mouth: "This is your innate talent."
Meng Xiaoni recalled her actions just now, but she still couldn't realize the "talent" that Guifeng said.
She stared at Guifeng one after another: "Can't you eat anything in my underworld?"
There are many such and such sayings in mythology: "If you eat it, it will be like the goddess of spring in Greek mythology, and you will never be able to get out of the underworld."
Guifeng glanced at Meng Xiaoni and nodded: "The Goddess of Spring was finally allowed to go out, because in the Western Greek system, the rules of the underworld were made by Hades. In the same way, if the real master of the underworld agrees, you can eat it too." Hell, and go out. Of course, this promise is limited to existences like yours whose abilities have little effect on the balance of the two realms."
Meng Xiaoni was curious: "Who is the real owner of the underworld? Emperor Fengdu?"
Guifeng: "No, it's Houtu."
Guifeng paused: "But she hasn't appeared for a long time."
The author has something to say: Meng Xiaoni: I suspect that you want to eat alone to scare me.
