Chapter 211: The Ant World on the Tip of the Tongue

A bite of fried maggot meat slices with dogwood only feels that the meat is smooth and tender, and the heat is slightly old, but it brings a more chewy texture to the originally too slippery maggot meat, making this dish more chewy.

The freshness and spiciness, the fragrance of green onion and ginger, and the richness of the fat are all tightly locked by the meat slices, and when the big jaw cuts the meat slices, the condensed delicacy explodes in the mouth instantly.

After one bite, the protagonist only feels as if he is not indoors in winter at this time, but outdoors in the middle of summer, and the hot burning sensation spreads down the stomach and intestines to the whole body, and a burst of comfort makes the protagonist's whole body tremble.

This ant's body has never felt such a wonderful compound oral desire!!

Spicy, but cool!

A big pot of fried maggot meat slices with dogwood, the protagonist didn't even ask for the staple food, and ate the vegetables directly and ate a belly round. The rest was given to the noble ants who were close to them in the nest.

In the days that follow, the protagonist is surrounded by all sorts of compliments and ants urging the food, all of whom have come and want to eat another stir-fry.

The protagonist sells guanzi, saying that he can only eat it at the New Year's banquet. However, with confidence and vanity, he hurriedly began to research new dishes.

In fact, after the New Year this year, the protagonist has asked the scientific research team to study some refined ingredients based on the existing ingredients, which has greatly expanded his room for play.

For example, soy milk is made from wild beans.

The ants were unable to make and drive a stone mill that was heavy enough, so they used the method of scooping to make soy milk. It is to soak the beans until they are soft and cut into small pieces, and pound them continuously with a stone hammer with a wooden handle until they are completely mashed and pulped.

In addition to the ants pulling the rope beans with their own power, the research team also experimented with beetles as power, and even wanted to set up a waterwheel next to the canal as a power source.

The soy milk made in this way is very rare, and it is an ingredient that is more precious than honeydew, and even the protagonist is not often able to drink it. But once in a while, a bowl of hot soy milk with concentrated honeydew is condensed in this bowl, and the essence of various varieties of wild beans is condensed in this bowl, which is full of herbs and trees, which is really sweet and delicious.

With soy milk, you can order tofu, and the ants just have some old salt brine for tofu.

The coarse salt bought from the Maolin ant clan inherited by the water god is refined into fine salt, and the coarse salt is added to the clay pot and then put outdoors to purify it through the sun.

The tofu that comes out of this way is commonly known as northern tofu, which is more resilient and suitable for stews. The protagonist tries to stew the jerky with various spices and sauces, and it tastes great!

Especially now in winter, a large clay pot of steaming tofu stew is served, the red tofu dyed by the sauce absorbs the essence of the broth, the jerky also becomes soft in the soup, and a few wild vegetables are dotted in the meantime, not to mention eating meat and vegetables, just taking a sip of soup makes the protagonist and other ants want to stop!

Speaking of sauce, this is also a new achievement of food refining this year.

The key to making the sauce is fermentation, and the Ant Alliance learned the fermentation technique from the Big-headed ant remnants during the old Big-headed Ant Kingdom, when they still had a limited number of cultures, mainly to make some slightly sweet fermented drinks.

Nowadays, in the Ant Union, soy milk is the drink of the upper-class nobles of the Ant Union, honey dew is the drink of the middle-class nobles, and the fermented drink is the drink of ordinary professional ants.

After a long period of accumulation, the scientific research team finally found a strain suitable for making sauce from various moldy foods.

With these bacteria, the fermentation workshop quickly came up with three products: soybean paste, noodle sauce, and meat sauce.

Soybean paste is made by fermenting various wild beans soaked and chopped, with a lot of salt added to it, and has a salty flavor similar to bean paste and soy sauce, which can be used as a seasoning and dipping sauce.

The noodle sauce is made of mashed sagebrush seeds and plantain seed powder, which is fermented with water and noodles, which has a natural sweetness and can also be used as a seasoning and dipping sauce.

Bolognese sauce is made by boiling mealworm meat and chopping it before fermenting, with salt, and can also be used as a seasoning and dipping sauce, but most of the time it can be eaten directly.

These three sauces are currently produced in limited quantities, and there is not much stock in stock, and the protagonist plans to use them again at the New Year's banquet to make top-notch dishes, usually keeping them from other ants.

The main reason for limiting the yield of sauce is the processing of raw materials, whether it is mashing beans or making flour from grass seeds, it is too inefficient to rely solely on ant power.

But the protagonist is in a high position, and it is nothing to use his power for personal gain, he strictly manages these refined ingredients, and no one can take them away without his own orders, and he also specially uses tens of thousands of man-hours of ant power to make a lot of grass seed flour for himself, mainly barnyard grass seed flour.

The weeds themselves are the ancestors of wheat, and although the grains are not as large as those of wheat, they can also be used to make pasta. The protagonist's current limbs can't make fine ramen, but it's still okay to make a shaved noodle with a jaw knife.

Flour and water kneaded into a dough, the shaved dough sheet in the boiling hot water, the light and thin wheat mango dough sheet is immediately cooked, quickly scooped up with a hay grate, steaming a mixture of meat sauce, soybean sauce and noodle sauce, is a bowl of hot, fragrant lid topping.

It's been a long time since I've eaten pasta, and after just one bite, the protagonist feels like he's going to cry, but now he doesn't have tear ducts.

After so long, isn't a big goal to be able to live a better life, the people take food as the sky, and now the delicious noodles are in the mouth, and the protagonist instantly feels worth it, and the sky can't fall.

Next, there are still a lot of dishes to be developed by the protagonist, and he has to restore the bitterness of his favorite food in his previous life.

Is there a big plate of chicken!?

Yes, how about stewed mealworm meat on tubers instead?

The tuber is actually the grass root of some weeds, rich in starch, cut into pieces and boiled thoroughly, remove the bitter taste, and then stew with mealworm meat pieces, add dogwood leaves, add soybean paste, collect the soup over high heat, and finally add the cooked shaved noodles and mix them out of the pot.

There seems to be no difference between the appearance and the large plate of chicken, and the taste is very good, but the grass roots are not pink enough.

Roast leg of lamb!?

Of course, this dish has been restored before! There are no legs of mutton, but both locusts and grasshoppers have more vigorous legs, and the locust grasshoppers, who are good at jumping, have muscular legs and are very chewy.

Remove the carapace from the outer layer of the leg, roast it directly by the fire, flip it over while roasting, sprinkle with salt and spice powder, and finally smear it with a layer of honeydew, which resembles a mixture of honey-roasted wings and roasted lamb legs.

In one bite, it is burnt and crispy, and even the strong tendons are soft and delicious.

The protagonist was busy for more than half a month, making more than a dozen new dishes before he was satisfied.

There are three days left until the New Year, and I believe that this year's New Year's banquet, the ants will even want to swallow their big jaws!!
