Chapter 1550: Absolutely dark cuisine

"Cave lion? What the is that? Is the lion's ancestor?" Emilia had never heard of this creature.
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "Yes, it is also called Eurasian cave lion or European cave lion. This is a very strange animal, uh, don't get me wrong, they are not the ancestors of lions, but another branch. The extinction was recorded ten thousand years ago, and a large number of fossils have been discovered, but in fact, cave lions still existed in the Balkans two thousand years ago."
Emilia gave him a white look: "My dear, did you make a mistake? This is America! You said this is a European cave lion?"
Xiao Peng shook his head, "How could I be mistaken? In the past, America and Asia were still connected through the Bering Strait, so cave lions became creatures here. It should have come from the bear country, the bear country. Two well-preserved lion cubs were also found in Siberia, trying to use cloning technology to resurrect this stuff. However, most of the ones that can be found are fossils. Speaking of which, the Star-Spangled Kingdom is really hypocritical. Fossil trading, everyone does not know that the world’s first fossil trading market is the Star-Spangled Nation. There are countless fossils of mammoths, short-faced bears, cave lions, and saber-toothed tigers that flow out of Alaska every year. But this is a fun thing, you see. There are no lions or tigers in the Americas, but here is where the most fossils of saber-toothed tigers and saber-toothed tigers are found."
Emilia smiled and said, "You can't trouble me with this. There is a Hancock Fossil Park in Los Angeles. It turned out to be an asphalt lake, not as big as Qianliyan, but more than two thousand blade teeth have been dug out of it. The tiger’s body is fossilized, but my dear, why are there so many Sabretooth tigers there?"
Xiao Peng said cheerfully: "You ask me to be the right person! Don't forget, we have many tigers in Qianliyan. This tiger is different from the lion. The lion is the hunter who chases the prey, and the tiger is Opportunists who are good at sneak attacks. The so-called saber-toothed tigers with big teeth that you have seen in the cartoons are actually Sabertooth tigers. They are characterized by two big tusks, but these two big tusks are actually very fragile and threaten their prey. The role is more than practical, so when hunting, they are more accustomed to catching weak prey and trapped prey. Those trapped in the asphalt lake are their targets. As a result, they can't get in and out, they become fossils. That's it."
Emilia looked at the cave lion skull fossil in her hand and looked at it: "That means you like this fossil, it's really ugly."
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "When I return to Los Angeles, I still want to make a fossil of the Sabretooth tiger. Don't underestimate these fossils. This is a very important income for these people. After all, like Jeff, he has himself. There are very few people on the land, and all people need to buy mining rights. The mining rights for a small area can be as high as five thousand dollars. When considering the fuel consumption and manpower, the hourly cost is almost 1,500 dollars. So all can make a profit. They will not let go of the things, such as these fossils, such as...Vaco!"
Emilia asked in surprise: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Peng pointed to the window of the plane and his tongue was a little awkward: "Mud! Mud!"
"Mud?" Emilia puzzled.
As soon as Xiao Peng pulled the joystick, the plane turned one direction and lowered its flying altitude! Suddenly a lot of huge mud spots appeared on the aircraft glass!
"Honey, what's the matter?" Emilia was a little nervous.
At this moment, noise came from a flying radio station that had never been heard on the plane. The radio frequency noise was so strong that Xiao Peng couldn’t wait to turn it off. A man’s unclear voice came from inside: "Novarupta The volcano is about to erupt! All nearby pilots are safe!"
Emilia was also a little nervous: "My dear, there will be nothing wrong, right?"
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "Nothing will happen. We turned one direction, and it was fine if we were far away from the volcano. Besides, I don't know if it was a large-scale eruption or two small sneezes. This is Alaska, just like the country of Japan. It is also the intersection of the continental plates, where earthquakes and volcanoes often occur. They are not surprised by the locals. I am angry because why do not explode early and not late, so we have to explode when we pass by? Let us go around again. Special Why didn’t Mt. Fuji erupt?"
Emilia chuckles and laughs: "Mount Fuji broke out? How do you hate the country?"
Xiao Peng shrugged: "Do you think I'm kidding? Mount Fuji has always been an active volcano, but it hasn't exploded for 300 years. According to the current frequency of earthquakes in the country, Mount Fuji is likely to be about to erupt."
At this time, there was heavy rain in the sky, and heavy rain mixed with volcanic ash hit the glass. The flight sight is very poor.
"My dear, can we still fly?" Emilia asked, "Should I find a place to rest?"
Xiao Peng looked at the navigator: "Okay, we are not far from Kotzebue, let's go there to avoid the rain! Hey, this is not as good as the sky, and I am worried that you will not be able to eat the "stinky head". Now you have a blessing!"
Emilia asked in a puzzled way: "You told Jones and them the other day about ‘smelly head’ and they were shocked. What the is it?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "That's the traditional food of the Inuit people, like'stinky head' is the food of the Yupic people, a branch of the Inuit people in southwest Alaska, that is, burying fish heads and fish innards underground. , A kind of food eaten after it rots to a certain extent. There is no such food in Pointlet we are going to, but there are Yupik people in Kotzebue now, and naturally there is this kind of food."
After hearing this, Emilia retched: "This is too disgusting, right? I don't know how to eat this thing, so what is Kiwiak you talking about?"
Xiao Peng explained: "Kiwiak is just salted puffins. Put the dead puffins in the belly of the dolphin and then stitch them up and put them in the ground to bury them. When the puffins rot, they take them out and eat them. From the puffin’s little butt, I sucked hard and ate the semi-rotted internal organs into my stomach."
Emilia shook her head like a rattle when she heard it: "I can't eat such horrible things."
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "This matter can't be done by you. This is the courtesy of the Inuit to entertain distinguished guests! Only the most distinguished guests can eat it, and we are probably the most distinguished guests."
Emilia looked sad after hearing this: "Can't we not eat such a terrible thing? By the way, don't you still say they have ice cream to eat?"
"Ice cream?" Xiao Peng came back to his senses after a moment of stun: "You said'Eskimo ice cream', right? I advise you to dispel your thoughts. It is not as beautiful as you think, the so-called'Eskimo ice cream' is Stir all kinds of animal fats together, such as seal fat, whale fat, reindeer fat, etc., and add milk, eggs, fish, sugar, raisins, ice, etc. Stir vigorously, how do you describe the taste? Anyway, when you eat it in your mouth, you first feel that the sticky and sticky lips are all oil, and then it is full of fishy smell, you can't eat it in your mouth. What is it? After you clenched your teeth and swallowed it, you will find a strange smell in your mouth. No matter how you brush your teeth or rinse your mouth, this smell will still be in your mind within a few days. And you have to know, because Newt people are very hospitable, this kind of "Eskimo ice cream" is also delicious in their mouths, and they entertain guests is this strange thing."
Emilia asked very puzzled: "How did you know? This is your first time in Alaska? How did you eat this kind of food?"
Xiao Peng pointed to the front and said: "After the Bering Strait is the place where the Chukchi people of the Xiong Kingdom live. The Xiong Kingdom conquered the entire country. The only one who has not defeated the entire country is the Chukchi people. The Chukchi people first lived in the northern part of China. During the Ming Dynasty, they called them "Beishan Jurchen" and called them "Zhilubu" to survive by hunting. Later, they went north and assimilated the local Inuit people. They also accepted a lot of Inuit marine culture. . Now Chukchi are also divided into two types, one is the marine Chukchi and the other is the Chukchi. Among them, the marine Chukchi's living habits, eating habits, and religious habits are very similar to the Inuit. . These things are similar over there."
"You mean, the same Chukchi and two different lifestyles?" Emilia was a little curious after hearing this.
Xiao Peng nodded: "You are right. To this day, the intermarriage of the two Chukchi people is still uncommon ------ even more than the mixed marriages of Russians and other ethnic groups. . But one thing is certain is that the "Animal Kayak Commune" of the Ocean Chukchi is very similar to the current Inuit lifestyle."
"Beast Kayak Commune?" Emilia heard another new word.
"In the early days, not all Chukchi people could have animal kayaks. A family with animal kayaks was the core of a settlement, and then organized several families to hunt and live together. They lived in fixed places, including pastures. The fishing grounds belong to everyone, but the boats, tools, houses, dogs, etc. are privately owned. This is the situation in Pointlet we are going to." Xiao Peng answered Emilia's question.
Emilia sighed: "Why do I seem to follow you here later? My scalp numbs when I think of "Kiwiak" or "Eskimo ice cream."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, we can now eat'Smelly Head' to cushion your stomach, and then eat those two kinds of things."
Emilia was shocked after hearing this: "My dear, isn't it raining now? Let's go to Pointlet in one go. Promise me that you will never let me eat these things when you get there! You can't eat them either! Don't even think of touching me in your life!"
PS: I went to the grave today. There is really no time to code words. I can only code two chapters to comfort everyone. Hope for understanding. . . . . .
PS again: Tomorrow is Lao Yang's birthday, the legendary April 4th. It's all stories about Lao Yang's birthday. Story 1: Lao Yang’s birthday and Lao Yang’s mother’s birthday are on the same day, so when others celebrate their birthdays with friends, Lao Yang is with his mother; Story 2: The reason why Lao Yang celebrates his birthday in the Gregorian calendar but the Lunar birthday is because he is old Yang's birthday is on February 30th, and only once in N years. If Lao Yang had his birthday in the lunar calendar, he would not be ten years old now. . . . . . Ahem, this is Lao Yang's young secret.
