The eel wrapped around his arm gradually loosened its grip, and Sang Ning remained silent as he watched the comments on the screen.
She looked at the eel in her hand, which she had squeezed until it was almost dead, then tightened her grip and crushed it completely. Speechless, she said, "What do you call this?"
With a flick of the wrist, the dead, relaxed eel drooped down in a long, thin shape.
Viewers on various planets watching the live stream couldn't help but gasp in surprise, and their hearts finally settled down after they realized the thing was dead.
[Sea snakes, Ningning, you know so many marine creatures, there's no way you wouldn't know sea snakes.]
[Get rid of it quickly! Don't carry it around, it scares me just looking at it.]
I've heard that sea snakes can feign death. If you don't want to lose it, make sure to hold onto its head tightly, lest it bite you in its death throes, and then you're really done for.
The barrage of comments came like snowflakes. Sang Ning twitched her lips and corrected, "This is not a sea snake, it's a moray eel. It's a carnivorous fish of the family Eriocheiridae and genus Eriocheir. It has a high fat content, tender and delicious flesh, and is effective in treating stomach ailments and rheumatism."
audience,"···"
audience,"???"
audience,"!!!"
[Holy crap, this isn't a sea snake, it's a fish?!]
"No, I don't know. The bestiary clearly says it's a snake, and highly venomous."
[Is it probably, maybe, or possibly a mistake like the apple and durian in the plant guide?]
No, that can't be!
The reason why the plant research center previously made a mistake with durian and apple, resulting in errors in the popular science information about apple and durian in the plant guide, is that both of these fruits were brought out by humans when they left their home planet to enter the interstellar era and made mistakes due to the deficiencies in human civilization.
Sea snakes weren't brought out by humans. They exist not only on ocean planets, but also on other planets with seas.
There's no reason to be wrong.
If the plant illustrations are correct, then it's Sang Ning's fault.
Sang Ning sighed helplessly, "This really isn't a sea snake, it's a moray eel."
The dean couldn't sit still any longer. He asked, "How can you be so sure this is a moray eel?"
What else could it be but something I've eaten?
“I’ve seen descriptions of conger eels in ancient books, and they look exactly like this.”
Conger eels are deep-sea marine creatures and rarely appear on shallow waters, even during high and low tides.
If you're unlucky, you might not encounter a moray eel on the beach.
【tasty?】
"It's delicious."
How delicious is it?
"It's hard to say."
There's no way to compare different foods, since taste is a very personal thing; what you like might not be what others like to eat.
Similarly, just because you don't like a certain food doesn't mean others don't like it either.
Just like cilantro, scallions, ginger, and garlic.
Those who love cilantro find it very fragrant, while those who don't add scallions, ginger, or garlic feel that the dish doesn't taste right.
People who don't like cilantro, scallions, ginger, and garlic find them smelly and strange, and can't understand how anyone could find them delicious.
"It's easy to know if it tastes good or not. You'll know once you try it after I make it."
Eel rice is a specialty, but now that there's no rice, it's naturally no longer available.
However, there are many ways to eat conger eel. The simplest way is to dig a stove on the spot, find a few stones and put them on the fire to heat. After the stones are heated red-hot, put the prepared eel slices on the stones and sizzle them. The fish will be cooked.
At this time, the eel meat is at its most tender. Even without any seasoning, the natural flavor of the eel is so delicious that you'll want to swallow your tongue.
For a more refined experience, you can add a sauce; dipping the food in the sauce is also a wonderful way to enjoy it, each with its own unique flavor.
The blood clams were still alive, so Sang Ning placed the basket directly in the shallow water; they wouldn't die anytime soon.
But the eel was dead; she had strangled it to death. To keep it fresh, Sang Ning decided to cook and eat it.
This would also prevent the audience from always thinking that eels are sea snakes, which would make her feel uneasy.
"Wait here, I'll cook the eel right now."
As she spoke, she put the eel down, ran a short distance to collect firewood, and then brought back a fire to start it. After that, she went to fetch a few stones, each weighing about two or three pounds, and put them in the fire to burn.
While waiting for the stones to burn, she carried the dead eel to the seaside and cleaned it with seawater. After rinsing it with clean water, she returned to the fire and placed the eel on a clean banana leaf wrapped in a bowl. Then she took out the seasonings she had brought and made a simple seafood sauce.
"Ningning, is there anything we can help you with?"
While Sang Ning was busy gathering firewood and moving stones, Mo Nai Nai and Fei Meng Luo Ya, alerted by viewers in the live stream, couldn't stay still and ran over.
Just then, they saw Sang Ning slicing eel. Their eyes widened in disbelief as they murmured, "So, sea snakes can actually be eaten?"
Very well, here come two more people who mistake moray eels for sea snakes.
Sang Ning was about to explain when Mo Nainai suddenly asked, "Ningning, did you remove the venom sac and fangs?"
"It's not poisonous. It's a sea snake. No, it's a moray eel, not a sea snake."
Sang Ning was almost confused by their explanation, and explained with a mix of laughter and tears, "Eels and sea snakes are two different creatures. Eels are not poisonous and can be eaten."
"sea snake···"
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Ancient books record that sea snakes are also edible and very nutritious, but because sea snakes are poisonous, the venom sacs and internal organs must be removed before they can be eaten."
At this point, she cautioned the viewers in the live stream, "It is not recommended for non-professionals to catch and eat sea snakes."
Everyone, "???"
Is there a distinction between professionals and non-professionals when it comes to eating?
Just as they were about to ask her what she meant, Monet asked her first.
"Ningning, what do you mean by 'non-professional'?"
"People whose main profession is not cooking."
She paused for a moment, then added, "Studying venom can help deal with sea snake venom, but I don't recommend doing it yourself."
People who work with drugs have very creative minds.
Just like her senior brother who specializes in poisons, he's a real oddball and a nightmare for ghosts.
All of them, including their fellow disciples, brothers, sisters, and several masters, had been poisoned.
The master pharmacist suffered the most. He was poisoned and became paralyzed all over, except for his eyes. He was like a vegetable and lay in bed for more than half a month before the poison was neutralized.
"It could kill someone if things go wrong."
Everyone: "!!!"
Oh no, I've developed a strong interest in sea snakes, what am I going to do?
I'm planning to catch sea snakes, then bring my cooking utensils and cook them at the medical center. That way, if I get poisoned, the medical center can treat me immediately. Anyone want to go?
[This looks promising, I'm going, I'll be the first to make the arrests.]
I'd like to do it too, but it's impossible. We don't have a sea here; we have plenty of freshwater lakes and rivers.
At least you guys have lakes. Our planet is truly bizarre; there's no water source, only endless snow and snow cover. To get water, we need to melt the snow.
