Chapter 1062 Steamed
Xiao Peng answered Paula's question with his actions: he found a small basin, put oyster sauce, sugar, salt, light soy sauce and cooking wine into it, stirred it, added some water, then put the remaining fish meat in it, sprinkled some onion powder and ginger powder on it, and put it directly into the pot to steam.
"This is a cooking method in our country, called 'steaming,'" Xiao Peng explained. "My hometown was one of the first countries in the world to adopt this cooking method. To put it bluntly, it's because the conditions in our country were so difficult in ancient times that we resorted to this cooking method."
The two women were puzzled after hearing this: "What's the connection between cooking methods and difficult conditions?"
After putting the pot away, Xiao Peng explained, "Hmm... how should I put it? Our country has a high population density, and the supply of wood is relatively tight, and oil is also in short supply. So steaming is undoubtedly a good way to conserve resources while cooking. Of course, this is one explanation, and there are more than one factor contributing to this situation. For example, Westerners were originally mostly nomadic and hunting civilizations, living wherever they went. So open-fire grilling is your cooking style, while we are an agricultural civilization. People usually live in fixed places and gather along rivers, which further leads to a shortage of heat energy. Another important reason is..."
Before Xiao Peng could finish, Montrasse replied, "Because you don't have an oven!"
"Ah?" Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this.
Montella: "The bread, biscuits and cakes we eat are all made in ovens. If you don't have ovens, you naturally won't have any baked goods."
After hearing this, Paula nodded and said, "I heard that your country is very poor and you haven't had access to electricity for long. Refrigerators and ovens are luxuries, so naturally you don't know how to bake."
They had always suspected Xiao Peng was from an extremely impoverished area. The reason? Because Xiao Peng's wilderness survival skills were so good! He seemed to enjoy such a harsh environment!
Later, after they inquired and learned that Xiao Peng was from Daxia, they suddenly realized - Oh, it turns out that he came from that place that was like hell!
As for Daxia, their media reported daily that it was recognized as the poorest and darkest place in the world, with the people living in poverty and hunger. Seeing that Xiao Peng could live so happily in such a difficult environment, they felt a little more sympathy for him - this poor man.
Of course, they were also glad that they had met a big man. Look at his ability? Look at the Alvaro brothers, it's true that people are dying when compared to others, and goods are thrown away when compared to others!
Besides, Da Xia has kung fu! Look at his skills - this explains why Xiao Peng knocked down the Alvaro brothers so easily at the beginning!
After seeing Xiao Peng, they have been considering whether to hire a Daxia man as a bodyguard when they have money in the future!
Xiao Peng simply didn't know what they were thinking. If he did, he would definitely shake his finger and say, "You're overthinking it!"
The Great Xia, once a nation that revered strength, favored men of masculinity and strength. In early Chinese film and television, actors with poor appearances were barred from portraying positive roles: all actors were uniformly portrayed with sword-like brows and resolute demeanor. Women at the time preferred so-called "masculinity."
And now? Because women's aesthetic values have changed, all of this has changed.
Most women prefer the so-called "androgynous" or "fresh meat" look, leading to a surge in so-called "feminine" men appearing on television. These men, sporting eyeliner, eyebrows, heavy makeup, and earrings, appear more alluring than women. Because this image appeals to women and attracts more attention, the capital market, the driving force behind the entertainment industry, actively promotes it.
There are also so-called "danmei dramas," which are those that focus on male-male couples and are more popular with female audiences. Countless women are crazy about such films.
They say men think with their lower body, and it's absolutely true! They'll become whatever women like, and so young men in China strive to be what women like. What 'masculinity'? What 'muscles'? Forget all that! Now we want 'femininity'!
Nowadays, many young men in China use the phrase "weak as a chicken" to describe themselves as being thin and weak, which is a compliment – they are so skinny that they look like they will be blown away by the strong wind.
We all know that foreigners love to do all sorts of bizarre surveys and statistics. Americans once did a survey on women's mate preferences, and women of all skin colors ranked Asian men last. So, how can Asian men stand out and surpass men of other races? The hard requirement is an annual salary of at least $250,000 after tax.
What does this mean? In the United States, if your annual pre-tax income is $100,000, you earn more than 90% of the American people - and the number is even higher.
After all, this number is per capita. If we put Yao Lao Da and Guo Xiao Si together, their average height is over 1.9 meters. Does this mean that Guo Xiao Si is very tall?
The bottom line is that in the eyes of women of all skin colors, yellow men are not a good choice.
Many people with fragile hearts easily associate this phenomenon with "worshiping foreigners and fawning on foreign countries", but in fact, this is a very normal thing.
Men's lust is largely due to the "reproduction" factor imprinted in their genes. And what about women? "Protecting the weak" and "relying on the strong" are also factors imprinted in their genes.
The former factors have led to the emergence of a group of so-called "mom fans" who like effeminate men; while the latter factors have led them to look for stronger opposite sex when looking for a partner.
To be honest, compared with blacks and whites, yellow people do not look as good-looking. Coupled with the current perverted aesthetic style of "femininity is beauty", the gap between yellow men and other races is even greater - unless you can prove your strength with money.
Isn’t Xiao Peng himself the best example?
After years of toiling as a diver in Marseille, few women even looked at him. And what about now that he's rich? Isn't that the same even on this island? Money isn't essential here, but whoever's stronger gets the girl.
This is called 'reality'. Stop making fun of those 'foreign trash' who come to Daxia to play with women. If Daxia is not an immigration country, I'm afraid a considerable proportion of men in the country would not be able to find wives!
Xiao Peng shook his head after listening to Montraser's "no oven" theory. He was tired of explaining to foreigners what kind of country Daxia was over the years.
No oven?
How could you possibly think of that!
Do you want to know about kebabs, naan, and grilled bread?
We don’t bake because baking often limits the performance of the ingredients!
