"Oh? What new food, come and talk about it! Liu Mingxuan's eyes lit up.

He was just talking about leaving just now, and he finally came over, and he couldn't even miss the meal cooked by Sister-in-law.

"You'll know when it's time to eat." Sun Chen smiled mysteriously.

"Hmph, sample, it's still on sale! I don't want to ask, I'll find out at noon anyway! Although his heart was tickling like a hundred claws to know the answer, Liu Mingxuan still tried to keep his cold and did not continue to ask.

……

"That's what you're talking about, New Eat?" When Liu Mingxuan sat in the dining room with chopsticks, looked at the plate in front of him with his mouth wide open, and turned his head to Sun Chen to confirm with a look of disbelief, he realized that he seemed to have been fooled by him.

This, where do you want to try yourself, this is playing tricks on yourself!?

Sun Chen picked up one with chopsticks and chewed it in his mouth as usual, raised his eyebrows and said, "What, don't you dare to eat it?" I can tell you, you'll regret it if you miss it~"

"Can I say I regret it now?" Liu Mingxuan spoke weakly. "This insect is eaten as food, it is something that only those who can't eat can do it in the year of famine, right? Can't you make us something normal to eat? For example, white chopped chicken, tamales and the like? ”

Ever since he had eaten the food cooked by his sister-in-law at Sun Chen's place, he fell in love with the mellow aroma of the white chopped chicken, and later he specially asked the chefs in the house to come here to learn art. After he went back, what he made was still not as authentic as Sister-in-law Niu's, but he couldn't say anything if he asked Sun Chen for a cook, and in the end, he could only take advantage of coming here to discuss things with Sun Chen every time he could have a meal to satisfy his hunger.

"Who says it's not a good thing? It's a rare delicacy, and I don't tell him about it! Sun Chen chewed more and more with relish.

That's right, what Sun Chen invited Liu Mingxuan to eat at the moment was the larvae of the cicada that made people listen to the chirping in summer, commonly known as the monkey.

Time has unconsciously entered the height of summer, it is getting hotter and hotter outside during the day, there is an elm forest not far behind the store, and the screams of knowing are often so noisy that Sun Chen can't even sleep in the afternoon.

He listened to the annoying chirping of cicadas and longed to climb the tree to catch them now. However, he suddenly thought of something that made him look forward to the coming of the evening.

Yes, he is going to catch the monkey, which can not only add a rare delicacy to the table, but also make the chirps of the people during the day be less, killing two birds with one stone.

He did what he said, and that night he took a lantern around the elm forest, and he did not expect to reap a lot of harvest - he caught seventy or eighty monkeys!

Now he was very excited. You must know that in modern times, because the monkey has been well known to the general public for its efficacy, it has long been speculated to a very high price. A pound of monkeys can be weighed more than 110, a fresh monkey once sold for more than a dollar when it was the highest, even if it was a monkey blowout, it cost six or seven cents a piece. Even so, it is in short supply in the market, and it is often sold out as soon as it is put on the table. In the restaurant, there are less than 60 monkeys on a plate, and they are sold for more than 100 yuan.

Sun Chen himself likes to eat the monkey very much, but its high price makes him feel luxurious when he eats it once in a while.

But when he came here, whether it was a local person like Erniu Fennel or an outsider like Shen Bo's family, he didn't have the habit of eating monkeys, which gave him a subtle feeling that monkeys belonged to him.

Whenever he eats it, he finds it particularly amusing at the thought of the shock on other people's faces, and recommending it to the people around him has become a pleasure to eat every day.

"Knowing that the monkey is full of treasures, it can not only benefit the essence and aphrodisiac, protect the lungs and kidneys, but also the cicada on its epidermis can also dissipate wind and dissipate heat, clear heat and detoxify, and it has long been used as a medicinal material by doctors."

Sun Chen picked up another monkey and put it into his mouth, and at the same time popularized knowledge to Liu Mingxuan, "How about it, taste it?" In such a big place as the Apocalypse Dynasty, no one else has eaten this? You Liu Dashao have been traveling south and north for so many years, you won't be as ignorant as others, right? ”

"Taste it, whoever is afraid of whom!" Liu Mingxuan has traveled a lot over the years because of business, but he is waiting for people to eat and drink everywhere, but he really hasn't eaten this thing.

The big deal is to eat snake meat in Nanjun, Liu Mingxuan picked one up, put it in his mouth with his eyes closed, chewed it indiscriminately and swallowed it. Because he didn't chew thoroughly, some of the cicadas were still relatively large, which made his throat suffer for a while.

"Hehe, good things have to be tasted slowly, what's the point of swallowing them like this?" Sun Chen picked up another one, "You have to be like me, chew it for fifty times before swallowing, so that the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes." ”

And chew it to crumble and eat it in your stomach, which is also easier to digest.

Although Liu Mingxuan didn't taste it carefully when he ate the monkey, but now that he thinks about it, he feels that it is not as terrible and unpalatable as he imagined, and when he heard Sun Chen's words, he couldn't help but reach out and pick up another one.

This time, he didn't swallow it in a hurry because he was afraid, but like Sun Chen, he chewed slowly, and found that it was really like what he said, as if the more he chewed, the more fragrant it became.

"Like, it's really, it's delicious." Liu Mingxuan, who swallowed the monkey, was still in a trance, he didn't expect that he was really bewitched by Sun Chen to eat something he hadn't eaten before, and he even damn that this thing was really delicious!

"If there's any, I'll take some with me." Liu Mingxuan became more and more addicted the more he ate, and when he grabbed the last monkey with Sun Chen, he said cheekily.

"No, it doesn't matter if you eat it, I still care if you take it home? I want to eat and catch it myself! Sun Chen didn't have a good air.

Afraid that Liu Mingxuan wouldn't be able to accept the waste, Sun Chen only let Sister-in-law Niu fry forty or fifty, but he didn't expect this kid to accept it so quickly, and let Sun Chen lift a stone and hit his own feet, and in the end, there were less than twenty in his stomach.

There are still a lot of pickles in the kitchen jar, but those are all stored by himself, and he will not be easily taken away when he can't catch the monkey in the future.

"Look at your stingy appearance, catch it yourself, I can't eat without you?" Liu Mingxuan pouted disdainfully and said, "Tell me where to catch it, how to catch it, right?" ”

"Wherever there are trees, there are them, and at night people can carry lanterns to the trunks of trees to pick them up." Of course, Sun Chen will not hide his personal interests in this matter, and he will also give conscientious advice.

"If the quantity is too large to eat for a while, just marinate it with salt, and then wash it when you want to eat it, but remember to put more, if the salt is less, it will be bad."

There is no refrigerator to freeze and store at this time, so you can only use such a stupid method.
