Chapter 348: Thousands of Years of Ginseng?
He Zilong and Sakura went on the road in full gear, of course, they were fully armed, but in fact, they changed into slightly better and slightly more convenient clothes, packed the necessities, and then each person carried a bag, and then hung the AK47 on their bodies, and set off one after the other.
The weather outside is no longer snowing heavily, but the cold wind is like a knife, constantly blowing over, and the wind and snow are still a kind of test weather.
Of course, there are also benefits in terms of safety.
In such weather, the large animals are almost extinct, and there is a dead silence as far as the eye can see. Don't worry about wolves, don't worry about tigers, don't worry about snakes, don't worry about bears, (it's all gone to sleep!)
Passing by a big tree that suddenly seemed to be hollow and fell, He Zilong unexpectedly found a large group of insects in the hole in the trunk.
"It's such a big wood borer, thicker than your thumb, and if you don't feel sick, this is indeed one of the best high-protein foods...... "He Zilong said to Sakura next to him.
Wood borers are the larvae of various drill wood beetles, and they often destroy intact bamboo and wood tissues into fine powder. Common species of wood-borers are mealy beetle, powdery tea pillar worm, long-term silverfish, and longhorn beetle larvae.
If you're not afraid of being disgusting, it's actually a rare delicacy, but of course, it's okay to eat it raw. It's not like it's on some TV shows, and it's not like there's no food in the bag.
To He Zilong's surprise, he was still struggling with whether to wrap up the big insects weighing one or two kilograms in this big tree and use them as reserve food. Unexpectedly, Sakura took the initiative to go over first, took out a bag from her bag, and collected these bugs.
Didn't you say okay, women are afraid of bugs?
Just when He Zilong was surprised, Sakura spoke: "Zilong-kun, this thing is super high protein, my personal chef at home used to make a whole insect banquet, and it tastes very good." It is said that the outside is not cheap, and it is difficult to find food outside in the current weather, and the food in the bag can save a little bit, so we collect this bug and roast it when we have time, which is much more nutritious than the bull market......"
Facing Sakura, who was not afraid of insects at all and didn't feel disgusting, He Zilong frowned, and then thought about how stupid she was, and seemed to feel calm again.
Ri Ben even has a meal of gold grains, and it seems to be normal to eat a bug, not to mention that the Chinese Cantonese people in later generations also eat bugs?
(The so-called golden grain meal is a food made from the feces of teenage virgins, and in layman's terms, fried shit, which the Japanese call "fairy eggs.") The production process is very lengthy and complicated, and some of the top clubs will raise a group of young girls (who must be virgins), and they will be fifteen-year-olds who will not be red in the next ten days, even a year younger and a year older. )
After a week, the restaurant will send someone to select the feces that meet the most suitable requirements as the raw material for the golden meal, accompanied by a variety of expensive spice pots for steaming and frying. Then, according to strict process standards, the shape of the Chinese medicine balls should be made into the shape of the Chinese medicine balls, the surface should look extremely smooth, or the shape of stool according to the customer's designation, and finally wrapped in edible gold powder.
"You are not afraid of insects as a girl, of course I am not afraid of a big man, well, let's collect them and use them as spare food......" He Zilong nodded, and also went over to help pack the insects.
Insects have the characteristics of high protein content, low protein fiber, easy absorption of nutrients by the human body, short reproductive generation, high reproductive index, suitable for factory production, and abundant resources, and have become an ideal food resource to be developed.
In fact, as early as 1980, at the Fifth Latin American Congress of Nutritionists and Dietitians, it was proposed that insects should be used as part of the food source in order to supplement the lack of food for humans.
Of course, because food is plentiful, and eating bugs is not the mainstream after all, so, in civilized society, the richer people are, the more bugs are eaten. The poorer people eat all kinds of human food normally, which is also a strange comparison.

The weather was good, and it took several days to get to the pirates' lair.
At this time, I walked backwards in reverse, but the weather was so bad, and I walked slowly on the snow, even if I knew the road. Also be careful of the pits in the ground, which will be about half as slow as it should be.
He Zilong and Sakura are together, if there is He Zilong alone, it is easy to say, but Sakura's physical strength as a girl must be taken into account. And the special effects and ammo in her bread are also very important. So, naturally, Sakura's slow speed can only be used as the standard for traveling.
In this way, it was only a few dozen miles away, and it was night. I reluctantly found a small cave, looked at it, there were no snakes and bears sleeping in it, and then let Sakura go in first, He Zilong found a pile of firewood, and then brought a small stone to block the entrance of the cave to block some wind.
After lighting the firewood, the temperature in the cave rises. It's finally a bit presentable!
The man did the outside business, and he was still acting as a guard at the entrance, so the cooking was naturally handed over to Sakura. Perhaps considering that most of the bugs were dead and that it was not easy to keep them fresh, Sakura decided on the spot to eat the bugs tonight.
Soon, one by one, the fried golden worm strips appeared, like small fritters. Sakura even added some spices, and it smelled pretty good!
"This is the seasoning that Brother Luo gave me, saying that if I can catch game outside, I will use it, so I will bring ......" Sakura explained to He Zilong with a smile, and the latter directly extended a thumbs up to her.
The condiments prepared by the star chef are naturally not bad, He Zilong took the roasted worms, and after eating a bite, his eyes suddenly lit up. If you don't keep thinking that this is a bug, I have to say, just from the perspective of taste and nutrition, this thing is really good.
"If you can drink another glass of red wine with a big bug, it will be perfect......" He Zilong didn't know which nerve suddenly attacked, and made such a bizarre exclamation. However, what is even more bizarre is that Sakura actually took out another bottle of red wine from her bag.
"Zilong-kun, this is found from the base camp of the pirates, but there are very few, I am afraid that others will drink it, so I have been cherishing it and preparing it for you to drink, and now I can use it......" Sakura said very seriously.
He Zilong: "......"
It's naturally good to be able to drink wine and warm up your body in this weather, not to mention that it is unrealistic for you to expect He Zilong to be honest at night. He's going to let the little boy be a sentry, so it's okay to drink a little wine.
Soon, a man and a woman gathered around the bonfire, eating and drinking, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Even a little fantastic atmosphere came out!
After being full of wine and food, the two of them did not fall asleep immediately, the temperature plummeted, and it was very cold at night, even if there was a fire, it was impossible to add firewood all the time, which was unrealistic, so, well, it was inevitable to sleep together.
