Chapter 448: The So-called Old Oil
Mineral rock worm, this is an achievement task for Heath. At the same time, Heath thinks it may be a magical delicacy that can be included in his food atlas. However, Heath has never seen what this delicacy looks like. Now that he finds that he can take a look at the true appearance of the mineral rock worm, Heath runs over excitedly. He intends to see what the mineral rock worm looks like and understand the market situation of the mineral rock worm. Unfortunately, Heath’s food identifier has been used today, otherwise Heath thinks he can probably try to use the food identifier to take a look at the mineral rock worm.
Following the crowd, Heath soon found a stall with a lot of people. However, what annoyed Heath the most was the crowd at this time. There were too many people, so many that Heath's scalp was numbing and his head was overwhelmed. Although he could see that there were a lot of people at that stall, he could not see what goods were at that stall, let alone the rock worms. Heath could not even see the worm hairs.
"There are too many people..." Heath curled his lips . He suddenly felt like he was back in his previous life. There were a lot of people then, too. Especially when there were activities or celebrities coming to perform, it was crowded with people. The current stall gave Heath a similar feeling.
But when Heath finally squeezed through, he was surprised to find that the stall in front of him was not selling rock worms. On the contrary, it sold oil, all kinds of oil, and the price was very cheap. That's why there were so many people here. Heath frowned. There was nothing more frustrating than queuing for half a day only to find out that you were in the wrong queue. At least this was the case for Heath now.
"Boss, why is your oil so cheap?" An old man scooped a spoonful of oil, then put it close to his nose and sniffed it, then asked with a strange look on his face. Heath raised his eyebrows after hearing it. Heath, who was originally planning to leave, also stopped. He planned to see how cheap this boss's oil was.
"Hey, of course. This is the oil I worked hard to make. If I wasn't in a hurry to go back to my hometown, I wouldn't sell it so cheaply." The boss took a puff of his pipe and continued with a smile. At this time, Heath also saw the oil barrels and the labels on the stall. After a closer look, Heath was surprised to find that the price of these oils was indeed very cheap, even so cheap that it was a little unbelievable.
Compared with the same type of oil on the market, the price of oil sold by this boss is almost half the price. This is a very amazing figure. You have to know that merchants must make money and basically will not do business at a loss. However, the things sold by this boss are so cheap that it is difficult not to lose money in this case. However, looking at the other party's appearance, Heath also knew that the other party might have made some money.
Heath came over, and before he scooped out the oil, a fragrance came out. Heath couldn't help but become interested. Heath was very familiar with oil. After all, for Heath, oil was a necessity and the consumption was still very large. However, Heath had never smelled such a fragrant rapeseed oil. But then Heath's expression became strange .
"Boss, this... I'm afraid it's not fresh oil?" Heath scooped up a little oil and looked at it, then smelled it. Then Heath asked with certainty . After hearing what Heath said, the boss couldn't help but look at Heath.
"Of course. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this, but this oil is old oil, so I sell it so cheaply." After hearing the boss's words, some of the onlookers were stunned for a moment. Obviously they didn't know what old oil was, but the chefs who knew the business couldn't help but frowned.
The so-called old oil, to use a more familiar term in the previous life, is gutter oil.
Gutter oil, gutter oil, the very hearing of it makes Chinese people feel angry and want to vomit, but in fact, people in the past may have used gutter oil to save costs, but nowadays people use gutter oil partly for another reason.
After all, the current oil price is not very expensive. Even if you are lazy and use gutter oil, you can't save much money. It is better to find ways to save money elsewhere. Moreover, the supervision in the past life was relatively strict, and the detection of gutter oil was the top priority. Being caught and fined was enough to make the boss feel distressed.
But even so, there are still some restaurants that use old oil to cook, which is related to the special nature of old oil.
Oil is a very special substance. Generally speaking, oil fried with spices will taste better. In layman's terms, dishes cooked with used old oil will taste better. It is said that this is because some proteins can be decomposed and enter, thus resulting in such a result. Some businesses now use old oil to add flavor to their own meals, which is considered to be more conscientious. Some unscrupulous people will still fish oil from the gutter, which is the so-called gutter oil. Although they are all oil, the feeling is different.
After all, old oil is just the leftover oil that was not poured out after cooking in the restaurant. The only disadvantage is that it can be used to cook other dishes. However, after filtering, the customers cannot tell the difference. The only difference is the color is different from fresh oil. The same is true for gutter oil, but the problem is that gutter oil comes from a dirty place, and the thought of it makes people feel disgusted.
When Heath heard that it was old oil, he lost interest. For Heath, it was very easy for him to get some old oil if he wanted. After all, he had Dialga's pressure cooker, and could easily make old oil that had been stored for a long time. However, when Heath left, he still noticed that some people went up to buy the boss's old oil, and the boss also smiled and poured the old oil they needed for these customers.
Heath shook his head and didn't care too much. After all, he was not from the industrial and commercial department and it was impossible for him to stop others from buying oil from the boss, so Heath left calmly. He still wanted to go and see the rock worms, but because of the delay on the road, when Heath found the boss who sold the rock worms, the rock worms had already been sold. This made Heath feel a little regretful, but the boss was particularly cunning and took some photos. Heath spent one Alliance coin to buy a photo, and only then did he see the real appearance of the rock worms.
It looks like a centipede, but it is much bigger than an ordinary centipede. Its body width, not including its antennae, is larger than an adult man's thumb. Its densely packed legs are a bit creepy to look at.
