Chapter 182 Save the child
Ao Guang and Ao Lan looked at each other, and Ao Lan said, "Yes, lead the way for us."
"My two distinguished guests, please follow me." The mermaid girl made a gesture of invitation and led the two big cutlassfish to the exhibition hall on the side.
"The experience center currently mainly displays two cooking tools: microwave ovens and induction cookers."
The mermaid girl pointed at the two types of stoves on the platform and explained with a smile: "The one that looks like a box is a microwave oven. As long as you put the food in it and adjust the time and heating power, the food can be cooked in a very short time."
"The flat plate on the other side is the induction cooker. You can put metal pots on it and cook or fry food just like grilling."
"Both stoves do not require open flames and can cook in the oxygen-deficient environment of the deep sea. They are groundbreaking products that will completely change the eating habits of aquarium people."
After the explanation, the mermaid girl led the two to the operating table, wrapped the cut raw fish in tin foil and put it into the microwave, demonstrating the entire cooking process.
The fish had already been seasoned, and soon after the oven door was opened, the rich aroma of grilled fish wafted out.
The mermaid girl put the grilled fish on a plate and handed it to Ao Guang and Ao Lan respectively, indicating that they could taste it for free.
After taking a few bites of the two large hairtails, I found them to be indeed very delicious, but that was all and I did not make any exaggerated expressions.
This father and daughter are from the dragon clan. The entire Crystal Palace is covered with water-repellent beads to isolate the water flow. The one responsible for cooking for the dragon clan is also a cultivator from the water clan who has mastered the fire spiritual art, so it is not uncommon for them to eat cooked food.
The other guests beside them were completely different from them. They were eating with their mouths full of oil and calling the food delicious.
Of course, the palace can enjoy culinary delicacies of the same standard as those on earth, but for ordinary people of the aquatic tribe, eating raw food is their daily life.
Even in the demon settlements on the ground, many of them had to eat raw meat and drink blood because of the sparse vegetation around them and the lack of wood for fuel.
The price of a microwave oven and an induction cooker is just a few gems, a hundred pounds of spiritual gold, and a hundred spiritual stones. The aquatic creatures can collect the minerals by diving into the veins near the underwater volcano in just half a month.
So some aquarium people placed orders on the spot, saying they wanted to buy them and keep them at home so they could enjoy the delicious cooked food at any time.
The receptionist in charge of the aquarium customer who placed the order pointed out that in order for these two stoves to be used properly, a watertight kitchen pressure tank cabin would need to be installed in the customer's home.
If the customer has water-repellent beads, there is naturally no need to install a watertight kitchen. The cost of installing a kitchen is much cheaper than using water-repellent beads.
"Excuse me, are you interested in buying one and installing it at home?"
The mermaid who was in charge of receiving the Dragon King and his daughter asked expectantly, "If you buy it now, there's no installation fee, no electricity bill for one month, and a recipe and seasoning package included."
Ao Guang shook his head with a straight face and said, "Uh, this king... I think there is no difference between cooked food and raw food. If you spend this kind of money, you will have to pay for electricity and buy seasonings in the future. Isn't it a waste of money for the Chamber of Commerce?"
He said this very against his will. As the Dragon King, he now had cooked meals for every meal, and he never tired of eating any fine food, and he could even eat imported land animal meat.
But as a superior, double standards are a very normal way of thinking. In the eyes of the Dragon King, the aquatic creatures under his rule are of such a high level that they dare to eat the same cooked food as him. It is enough for him to have fish to eat so that they will not starve to death.
Just to have a bite of cooked food, Wen Rui made a lot of profit in vain. In the future, his taste will become picky, and he might have to spend more gems, minerals, and spiritual stones from the seabed to import vegetables and meat from land.
This is sucking the blood of the aquatic creatures in the sea!
It's economic plunder!
As the king of the sea, the Dragon King felt that he had guessed Wen Rui's treacherous schemes and sinister plots. "My dear guest, eating cooked food is not just for the sake of appetite."
The mermaid girl had already received training and knew how to deal with various customers' challenges: "It is also for your health, to improve your quality of life, to reduce the pain that torments you, and to prolong your life."
"What nonsense! Your broken stove can have health benefits?" Dragon King Ao Guang's face darkened and he said angrily, "Do you think I'm an old fish?"
The Dragon King was furious, and his momentum was extraordinary. The mermaid girl turned pale with fear, but she did not feel guilty at all. Instead, she said very aggrievedly: "My dear, I am telling the truth and I am not deceiving you."
The big hairtail fish rolled its eyes and said viciously, "Well, tell me. If you can't explain it, I'll report you to the government and have you arrested!"
Ao Guang was really angry, and secretly decided in his heart that if this mermaid girl was bribed by Wen Rui to sell out the interests of the water tribe and deceive the people of the water tribe into spending money, he would definitely not let her off easily.
The merman girl's expression also turned serious, and she said earnestly: "Cooking the food thoroughly is the most important thing to kill the parasites!"
Ao Guang was stunned when he heard this, and his anger immediately dissipated a lot.
"The greatest pain for us aquatic creatures is that we have to coexist with all kinds of parasites in our bodies. Some parasites live on the tongue, some parasites live in the muscles, some parasites live in the intestines and stomach, and some parasites live under the skin..."
The merman girl said, "Even the Crab Generals in Dragon Palace were parasitized by the Crab Slaves without realizing it, and gradually became Crab Slaves' puppets. If you eat raw food, the probability of intestinal parasites is very high. If you eat cooked food, the parasites will be killed by the high temperature and will be digested normally in the stomach."
"Diseases come from the mouth. This is a very simple medical principle. We, the aquatic people, cannot make fire underwater. We have been eating raw food for tens of thousands of years, which has resulted in a serious proliferation of parasites. More than half of the fish and seaweed we eat contain parasite eggs. Almost everyone has to live with parasites for their entire lives."
"But with these two stoves, you can greatly reduce the chances of parasites invading your body. You also have children. You have suffered from parasites all your life. Do you want your children to suffer the same pain and suffering?"
After saying this, the Dragon King did not react much, but the other aquarium customers who heard it suddenly realized it. The customers who had been hesitant because they felt it was a bit expensive immediately made a decision and rushed to their respective receptionists, shouting to place their orders.
Of course, dragons are not afraid of parasites. They are sacred beasts with incredibly strong immune systems.
But ordinary sea creatures, even the sea monster cultivators who have become spirits, cannot avoid being parasitized in their bodies, and their nutrients and spiritual energy are constantly sucked away.
After all, this is a magical world. Mosquitoes can cultivate themselves into the ancestor who ate the Turtle Spirit Mother of the Hunyuan Golden Fairyland. Of course, parasites can also open up their spiritual wisdom and practice.
For example, if a demon cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul stage, ordinary parasites cannot parasitize him, but the parasites in the Nascent Soul stage have acquired unique parasitic abilities during thousands of years of evolution and specialize in parasitizing Nascent Soul sea monsters.
Although changing eating habits and eating cooked food from now on may not relieve the suffering of the aquatic creatures that have been parasitized, their children can be spared from the suffering of being parasitized.
If we continue the habit of eating cooked food for several generations, we can gradually curb the spread of aquatic parasitic diseases.
"Ah this..."
The Dragon King Ao Guang did not expect this effect. He was speechless for a moment. Instead, he felt that what the mermaid girl said made sense.
