Chapter 61: Cuisine in the Desert

With a piece of fried scorpion in hand, Dawn led the group to the store that had attracted attention from the previous shouting.

When a few people came to the shop where the owner shouted "honeypot ants" and looked at the honeypot ants raised in the store, they found that the name of this "specialty" turned out to be such an image.

The ant's predecessor was similar to that of a normal ant, but it was much larger, and the ant's belly was swollen like a cherry.

Dawn and his party, who had never seen this creature, couldn't help but be curious about this magical creature, and asked the boss what kind of species this was.

For Sora's many problems, this middle-aged uncle has always been smiling, and there has been no bloody plot of driving him out because he is a little ghost, but if it is those local little ghosts, it is estimated that the boss will change his face at this moment.

The owner of this shop is a middle-aged uncle, and he has seen a lot of visitors in the past, although this is just a few young ghosts, but a navy uniform is not something that anyone can wear.

Depending on the situation, there must be a certain amount of spending power, and there are so many people, and the honeypot ants are not big, so the number of people to buy will definitely not be less when the time comes.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if you don't have money, isn't there still the rear admiral who just got together? Could it be that the Navy will still fail to pay its debts?

So the shrewd boss was not impatient in the face of the questions of Sora and the others, but let them be quiet, and then began to explain the details of the honeypot ant to a few people.

"The origin of the name of this honeypot ant is because this kind of ant is very greedy, so it causes the abdomen to be named like dragging a big honey jar, do you see that their abdomen is like a jar?"

After speaking, the boss smiled and pointed to the huge honeypot ant with a belly in the ant nest, and asked everyone to observe.

"You also know that we are here in the desert, although there is no shortage of food for Anlua here, but it is for people, and the ants that live in the desert rely on their skills to survive in the desert.

This boss probably often explains to outsiders, and his eloquence is good, and it arouses the curiosity of the guests like telling stories, and even Dawn listens to it with relish.

"In the desert, food is very scarce, and only after heavy rains do plants secrete a lot of nectar, which is rare food in dry desert areas."

"So how can these honeypot ants pass up the opportunity to have a full meal? Greedy, they suck the nectar with all their might, until their bodies are about to burst. ”

"So when food is scarce, other ants can spit out honey as long as they touch the honeypot ants. This is how ant colonies come through times of lack of food. ”

"It's amazing that there are still such ants in the world." Tina picked up an ant and sighed in amazement.

"Little girl, the honeypot ants can eat it with their heads removed, you can taste it."

"Why don't you remove your head and eat it, are you the reincarnation of Bei Ye?" Dawn glanced at the smiling boss next to him, and complained in his heart that he didn't organize Tina.

The story is told, and you have tasted things again, so you are embarrassed not to buy them, right?

I guess this boss hit this idea.

However, Dawn already wanted to buy something to taste, but he didn't care much, after all, this was also a sales method for doing business, and he had seen a lot in his previous life.

"Huh? Is it that simple? Can you eat it when you go to the head? Why are they not the same color behind them? Tina asked, holding up a red honeypot ant.

"Oh, you said that, our honeypot ants are all bred in captivity, so instead of them collecting nectar, we choose a fixed food for them, and then we can choose different flavors." The boss said to Tina with a smile.

"Oh, I'll taste it." After saying that, Tina was not afraid, she went straight to her head, and then put the big jar behind the honeypot ant into her mouth.

"Well, this is watermelon-flavored and cool? That's nice. Tina's eyes lit up after tasting it for a while, it was like drinking juice, with a cool taste that was inexplicably refreshing to eat in this weather.

"Of course, because it's hot here, these honeypot ants will be paired with some mint, which tastes good."

The boss smiled and said: "And because the honeypot ants will fully mix what they eat after drinking, they don't need to mix other things to blend the taste like other drinks, it is pure and natural." ”

Seeing that Tina was eating well, Dawn bought some of the flavors and gave them to a few people to taste, and Dawn also tasted each taste, but the taste that Dawn liked the most was pure mint, which was very comfortable to eat cold.

However, in addition to the honeypot ants, what interests Dawn the most is the honeypot ant drink and the wine, which has nothing to say, as long as it is filtered enough.

The most important thing is that the taste of this drink is very good with mint, and Dawn bought a lot of flavors in one go, ready to take them back as a specialty when the time comes.

The wine is very distinctive, this kind of wine made with special ingredients and methods needs to be filtered through many procedures, and there is no residue of honeypot ant carcasses to affect the taste.

This amount made the middle-aged uncle smile from ear to ear, and as for money, there is no need to worry, such as the property seized on the pirate ship will also be distributed to the personnel involved in the battle, and the casualties will be given priority to the majority.

However, Dawn and the others started from escorting Roger's execution, and along the way, they also encountered many pirates and got a lot of Bailey, but they never had the opportunity to use it.

As for the various flavors of sweet wine, it is a bit of a cocktail in the previous life, and it is pure natural without adding preservatives and colors, and it is also divided into high and low alcohol.

As for Dawn as a minor? Of course, it was a low-alcohol drink, and although it was said to be wine, Dawn felt that it only tasted different from the drink.

As for the degrees? At least Dawn drank a lot and didn't do anything, and so did the others, drinking it as if it were drinking a normal drink, probably thanks to the strength of everyone's physical fitness?

However, this time it was a full harvest, and everyone saw that Major General Ark had not returned, so they walked around again and found a lot of novel food.

For example, crocodile eggs, turtle eggs, grilled crocodile meat, etc., made everyone happy, and this way of eating the stall reminded Dawn of the leisurely way of visiting the stall in his previous life.

I often feel like I haven't eaten much, but I'm full after walking around the street, and I don't really have much time to relax after coming to this world, although this time I came out a little unexpectedly, but it's not bad to be able to enjoy this moment of leisure.

But soon, this quiet leisurely atmosphere was shattered.

"Damn these sand thieves are here again! Run! ”

"Run!! Run, run!! ”

"Where's the Guard! Damn it! ”
