Chapter 157: Fried Bamboo Worms
"Bring it!" Mengyu immediately stretched out his hand and motioned for Shang Xin to take out all the cash on his body.
Shang Xin's heart suddenly had 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping, did this guy want to rob himself, but he still cooperated and gave all the cash on his body to Mengyu.
Mengyu immediately took out five hundred-yuan bills from them and handed them to the old man, saying, "Uncle, this is a little bit of my heart, and I hope you don't dislike it." ”
The old man's eyes lit up when he saw the banknote in Mengyu's hand, he naturally knew the currency of Huaxia, because there have been more and more Chinese people traveling in Southeast Asia over the years, and the currency of Huaxia can also circulate normally in Southeast Asia, but he still asked with some doubts: "Little girl, you're not joking with the old man, are you?"
Mengyu said with a smile: "Uncle, how can I joke with you, this money is for you." So saying, she stuffed five hundred-dollar bills into the old man's pocket, and then said, "Uncle, can I ask you about a place? Whether you know it or not, the five hundred dollars are yours, but if you know this place, I will give you another thousand yuan as a reward." ”
When the old man heard Mengyu say this, he immediately got up, wiped his hands on his clothes, and said, "Is what you said true? Whether you know that the five hundred yuan is mine?"
"Of course, but you have to be honest, and you can't make it up just to get a thousand dollars. Mengyu smiled playfully and said.
The old man nodded uncontrollably, and said, "That's nature, that's nature." He also took out the five hundred-dollar bills in his pocket to distinguish the real from the fake.
When it was confirmed that the money was real, the old man immediately shouted excitedly at the old woman: "Old woman, come here, money, come and see, there is money." ”
Although Shang Xin couldn't understand what they were saying, he knew more or less what was going on when he saw the old man's excited appearance, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "It's really rich that can make ghosts grind, and if you give some money, you can get this old man done." ”
Just as Shang Xin was muttering in his heart, the old woman also came to the old man's side, and she was much calmer than the old man when she saw the five hundred yuan.
The old woman opened her mouth and said to the old man, "Since they have asked you about the place, if you know, tell them." ”
The old man was already very happy, he stuffed the money to the old woman, then looked at Mengyu and asked, "Little girl, where do you want to inquire?"
"Wadang Kabuna Temple, have you heard of this place?" Mengyu said patiently.
After thinking about it, the old man said, "I really haven't heard of the Wadang Kabuna Temple, but there are many villagers in our village who often go out to work, and maybe some people will hear about this place. ”
"Then it's troublesome, uncle. Dream rain said.
When the old woman heard this, she immediately pulled the old man aside and whispered, "Old man, you can't fool people." ”
"What do you know, Huaxia people are rich, we just need to try our best to help others inquire, even if we don't find out in the end, people are embarrassed not to pay us out of face. The old man said with a wicked smile.
"But what are they looking for in the temple of Vadangkabuna?" said the old woman to herself curiously.
"What do you care about them? After all, our Southeast Asia is a holy place for Buddhism, and maybe these two Chinese people are interested in Buddhism and want to come to pray for blessings. The old man said casually.
Although this old man loves money, he is not a cunning person, so he asked the old woman to entertain Shang Xin and Mengyu at home, and he was ready to go out to inquire about the news.
Although they were far away, Mengyu's ears still heard everything very clearly, she didn't mean to eavesdrop, she just wanted to make sure that the old man would try his best to inquire about the news, Shang Xin of course could also hear the conversation between the old man and the old woman, but he couldn't understand anything.
After the old man went out, the old woman warmly greeted Shang Xin and Mengyu into the living room of the house and sat down, and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Mengyu nodded at the old woman, and then the old woman immediately said, "Then you sit here for a while, and I will cook for you." ”
"Then it's troublesome Auntie. Mengyu said politely.
"Oh, why are you polite to your little girl and aunt?" The old woman was naturally a little reluctant to accept Mengyu's five hundred yuan, so she was very enthusiastic.
After another exchange of pleasantries, the old woman ran into the kitchen and began to cook.
After the old woman entered the kitchen, Shang Xin asked, "Senior, what did you say to these two old men?"
"Hehe, of course, I asked them about the location of the Wadang Kabuna Temple, and they said that they would try their best to help us inquire, and we could only try our luck, no matter how much it was better than looking for a needle in a haystack that we were not familiar with. Mengyu smiled slightly and replied.
"Oh~ Did that uncle go to inquire about the news?" Shang Xin asked again.
"It should be, although the old man is greedy for money, he is still sincere, let's wait here for a while. Mengyu said lightly.
Anyway, Shang Xin doesn't know the language of Southeast Asia, so he can only listen to Mengyu's arrangement.
After a while, the old woman came out with a few plates of peasant dishes from Southeast Asia, and said, "Two distinguished guests, it's time to eat." ”
Mengyu responded with a good hello and beckoned Shang Xin to prepare for dinner.
The dish was fried pork rind, tomato pork sauce and fried horse worms.
Shang Xin couldn't help frowning when he looked at the fried bamboo worm, because it was clearly a plate of fried insects, which made his stomach suddenly start to turn upside down.
Mengyu couldn't help laughing when she saw Shang Xin's expression, she said: "Silly boy, this is a famous dish in northern Southeast Asia, the body of the bamboo worm can be rich in protein and amino acids, and then fried in oil is simply crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, very delicious." ”
"This thing is quite like our Huaxia rice fighting worm. Shang Xin muttered, but he was still not ready to eat bamboo worms, he just ate fried pork skin.
Mengyu didn't think so, she chewed the bamboo worm in her mouth, and said: "You kid still knows about the rice worm, but there is still a difference between this thing and the rice worm, the rice worm is a scarce product, as early as ancient times, there were rumors that a bucket of rice for a worm, and its medicinal value is extremely high in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Shennong's Materia Medica", "Chinese Materia Medica", "Dictionary of Chinese Medicine" and other medical books are recorded. ”
Shang Xin couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw Mengyu eating the bamboo worm, and asked, "Is it really that delicious?"
"Won't you try it? Mengyu smiled evilly.
In order not to be underestimated by Mengyu, Shang Xin still shook his teeth and took one, closed his eyes, stuffed it into his mouth, clicked it, and chewed it, not to mention that this fried bamboo worm was really crispy and delicious, and it was extremely delicious.
