Chapter 186 Journey to find milk. [It’s the last day, please vote for me]

"Thank you." Zhang Feng thanked politely.

The boss nodded with a smile, and handed Zhang Feng an English version of the paper introducing frankincense, and there was another thing on the back—the introduction of frankincense.

Frankincense is a resin secreted from a peculiar tree, all natural and wild.

The drier and barren natural conditions are more suitable for the growth of frankincense trees.

The Nagd plateau in southern Oman has just what the tree needs: rough limestone soil, scorching heat, and morning dew.The highest quality frankincense in the world is called "Silver Fragrance", which is produced on the Neged Plateau.

Yinxiang, on the other hand, can improve sleep, and is suitable for people with little sleep, helping them to provide sleep quality.

"I'll buy some for Lao Xu and send it back later." Zhang Feng thought so, and continued to read the card introducing frankincense.

In 450 BC, the famous Greek historian Herodotus mentioned frankincense in his masterpiece "History": "The whole country is floating everywhere, exuding a wonderful sweet fragrance." Frankincense has many other names , such as "Pearl of the Desert", "Teardrop of God", "White Gold" and so on.

In ancient times, frankincense was once as valuable as gold and has always been one of the symbols of power and wealth for rulers.

This aromatic resin was in great demand in ancient times and was widely used in Omani rituals, funeral ceremonies and people's daily celebrations.The ancients believed that the smoke of frankincense would carry their prayers to heaven, so burning incense was integral to any ritual.

……

"Sure enough, everything in this movement is related to the local culture." Zhang Feng shook his head involuntarily. Faith, to put it nicely, is called spiritual pursuit, and a deeper understanding is a spiritual drug.

After shopping for a while, I found a magnificent frankincense shop. Now that I know Yinxiang, I naturally want to ask about it.

"Boss, do you have any silver incense?"

Zhang Feng was very straightforward. The boss who asked a question was stunned. After a few seconds, he smiled and waved to call a young man about his age.

"Hello sir, my father doesn't understand English. What do you need?" the young man asked.

"I heard that there is a kind of silver incense, and I want to buy some." Zhang Feng said,

Hearing Yinxiang, the young man was stunned for a while, and then turned his head to explain Zhang Feng's intention to his father, but the middle-aged man shook his head, indicating no.

"My father said that silver incense is too precious and we don't have it here. You'd better go to the place of origin, which is the city near the Neged Plateau, to look for it. This season there will be new finished silver incense." The young man said.

Zhang Feng nodded and asked the next best thing: "Thank you, how can I get to this handmade milk fragrance shop?"

"The end of the east side."

"OK, thanks."

Zhang Feng immediately left the frankincense shop. After Zhang Feng left, the young man asked: "Father, I remember that a batch of frankincense came to my house, right?"

"That's for customers, it can't be sold, go do your thing."

"Yes."

The conversation between the Arab father and son shows how precious this silver incense is, and it also indicates that Zhang Feng searched for it in Negade for half a month later, and spent [-] riyals to buy [-] grams of silver incense.

Before reaching the east, I asked about the unique fragrance of dairy products.

"System, you mean looking for Naixiang, right?" Zhang Feng was a little confused by frankincense and Naixiang now, so he asked.

System: Yes.

"Oh, that's good... Excuse me, do you provide handmade milk fragrance products?" Zhang Feng politely asked the old man who was packing up the white powder.

The old man looked up at Zhang Feng, and pointed to a large piece of paper next to him. The words on the paper were in English: This shop offers various hand-flavored milk products, and the prices are as follows...

"Hehe, there are so many fruit flavors. Boss, give me one of each." Zhang Feng translated such an Arabic sentence with AAP, and handed it to the old man. The old man glanced at Zhang Feng suspiciously, Zhang Feng He smiled and typed another sentence: I can pay all the expenses first.

Zhang Feng thought that the old man would smile when he saw what he said, but he looked helpless. He pointed to a table in the store to signal Zhang Feng to wait, and walked into the room on his own. Zhang Feng was very upset. I was fascinated, but I didn't think too much about it. I looked at the whole store. There are many tools for making milk-flavored products in the store, many of which are made of silver. The exquisiteness makes people think of various handicrafts in the market.

"The kingdom of the magic lamp is really exquisite."

After waiting for a while, the old man brought more than a dozen kinds of milk-flavored products. He didn't rush to ask Zhang Feng for money, but put it down and continued to work on the work at hand.

Looking at more than a dozen kinds of milk-flavored products in small bowls on the table, I sniffed it lightly. The taste is complicated, but there is no repulsive situation because of the mixed smell. The milk-flavored products in the bowl are colorful and colorful , some are like yogurt, some are pure jelly, and some are like normal milk.

"Well... this one is good... this one doesn't like it... the smell is a bit strong, this one is okay."

After tasting them one by one, Zhang Feng was very disappointed. Although some of them gave the taste buds a new experience, the system did not speak, which was obviously not high enough, so he translated a sentence with his mobile phone: These are not what I want .

Looking at the old man seriously, the old man frowned and looked at Zhang Feng seriously. Zhang Feng also kept smiling as much as possible, waiting for the old man's response.

Maybe it was because Zhang Feng looked pleasing to the eye, maybe it was because Zhang Feng didn't waste the milk products on the table, or maybe it was Zhang Feng's words "None of them he wanted" that moved the old man. The old man moved his hands on Zhang Feng, and then Walking towards the inside of the store, Zhang Feng hurriedly followed without any verbal communication.

The old man went inside, and there were two camels, one big and one small, and the small one couldn't stand still. It was probably just born. The old man motioned Zhang Feng to wait, and then he walked towards the big camel with a bucket. After stroking the camel, he began to squeeze milk.

Zhang Feng watched quietly, appreciating this art quietly.

Taking milk, washing milk, boiling milk, making milk... step by step, Zhang Feng was allowed to watch, and saw that a large bowl of milk finally turned into a small piece of milk that was as white as the snow on Mount Everest.

Zhang Feng took the milk lump that was only the size of a big white rabbit's toffee with both hands devoutly, and put it into his mouth under the encouraging eyes of the old man. The milk lump began to release its own taste, which had no sweet taste, but had a certain taste. The special taste produced by the decomposition of protein in seed milk.

It's not that it has a sour or smelly taste in the legend, but it's like drinking soup, which makes people instantly full of energy.

System: Congratulations to the host for completing the milk fragrance task, the hacker's daily quota has been increased by 15, and the total quota is [-], triggering a lottery mechanism.

Hearing the word "lottery draw", Zhang Feng was delighted. Before the system could say whether the lottery is being drawn now, Zhang Feng had already said that it was a lottery draw.

……

System: Congratulations to the host for obtaining the ultimate challenge full-professional skills.

"Extreme Challenge All-Professional Skills? What the hell, related to extreme sports?" Zhang Feng was confused, but the fact was similar to what Zhang Feng thought. It was skills related to extreme sports. In his opinion, it was a useless skill. Could it be that he Want to open an extreme tour?
After coming back to his senses, the old man looked at Zhang Feng with confusion. Zhang Feng hurriedly typed out a sentence: It is the taste I am looking for. I am a chef, and an excellent chef. I want to cook it for you. Make a meal to thank you for making this magical milk for me.

Seeing Zhang Feng's words, the traces left by the years on the old man's face stretched, and he took Zhang Feng's hand and walked towards his kitchen.
