Chapter 51: On the Ten Thousand Practices of Earthworms
At this point, Qiao Lu has exchanged all the technologies that he can currently exchange.
As for what other uses these technologies can be used, it depends on the scientists who wander the earth.
The system is only responsible for providing the technical theory, and it is up to the human being to use it.
Qiao Lu doesn't interfere too much in this point as a scumbag, and the wandering earth also needs a little time to digest these new knowledge obtained "by accident".
Then the rest of the time is to take a good stroll on the wandering earth, speaking of this main world that is prosperous and prosperous with himself, and has a loss, Qiao Lu has not yet visited it.
He walked out of the house again, but this time he was wandering aimlessly.
Qiao Lu first came to the central square of the dungeon as his first stop on his visit to the Wandering Earth dungeon.
It is said to be a square, but it is not big at all, it can only be regarded as a small open space, and with the dense flow of people, there is not much space for activities.
The whole square is surrounded by a large upside-down banyan tree, which hangs upside down from the ceiling like a chandelier, and I don't know how it was planted.
Although it feels weird, this touch of green of plants finally adds a little life to this dimly crowded dungeon.
A large number of small shops are laid around the square, many of which are the size of a small window, and there is a person crammed into it, and the surrounding area is full of goods, even if it is a store.
The farther away from the central plaza, the more chaotic the layout of the shops becomes, and at the back, all kinds of signs, seats, and wires are staggered together, like an underground version of the Kowloon Walled City.
Qiao Lu even saw a hotly dressed bunny girl serving guests between several mahjong tables, presumably where Liu Qi traded protective clothing in the movie.
Suddenly, Qiao Lu's eyes were drawn to a shop.
This shop is not a rare, rare, once-in-a-century magical shop, just a small food stall.
But this made Qiao Lu curious: "Food stalls? Is there anything else good to eat on The Wandering Earth? ”
Driven by this curiosity, Qiao Lu walked over and found a seat to sit down, intending to have a good taste of the folk food culture of the wandering earth.
Before he could pick up the menu, the three young men sat down at another table next to him, and the menu was not looking at the shopkeeper shouting:
"Boss, come with three skewers and two dumplings!"
"Okay!" The shopkeeper replied crisply, and then plunged headlong into the kitchen.
In his previous life, this can be said to be a common thing, but in the food stalls on the wandering earth, he can still order this kind of thing, Qiao Lu can't help but feel strange.
But when the shopkeeper brought out the food, Qiao Lu was also open.
I saw a few crispy earthworm skewers on the table, and the dumplings on the side were also mixed with black and green fillings, so it seemed better not to bite into them.
But the three young men still ate with relish, as if they had long been accustomed to such food.
After dealing with their table, the shopkeeper came to Qiao Lu and asked him:
"Guest, what are you going to eat?"
Qiao Lu then returned his attention to the menu in his hand, which was a terrible look.
Roasted earthworms, spicy fried earthworms, boiled earthworms······ It's just 10,000 ways to do earthworms.
Since the army is full of food and shelter, Qiao Lu has really never seen so many sassy operations.
Of course, there are other things besides earthworms, but those dishes will only be more terrifying.
Fried termites, fried cockroaches, iron plate meat insects······ Proper dark cuisine.
"Cockroaches and meat worms, aren't these cockroaches and fly larvae? Can this thing be eaten? Qiao Lu couldn't help but question.
It is true that these things will hardly go extinct, but it is difficult to say whether they can be used as food.
The owner said hesitantly: "The official doesn't recommend everyone to eat it, but there are always people who want to try it, right?" Anyway, I've had a few meals here, and I haven't seen anything happen to them. ”
Although Qiao Lu doesn't have to worry about being eaten by this kind of thing, psychological rejection is still inevitable.
In the end, he only ordered fried termites and spicy fried earthworms, which can be regarded as a taste of these folk delicacies.
While he waited for the food to be served, he heard three young men talking about recent events while eating.
"Gee, there's been a lot of excitement lately. It almost hit Jupiter, then suddenly traveled to another galaxy, and then I had to travel again, and it really messed up my mind. ”
Another young man said, "Don't worry about the mess, isn't it a good thing to be alive?" It doesn't matter what he turns upside down, anyway, someone will carry it when the sky falls. ”
"Hehe, are you going to carry it? I'm afraid I'm not going to be crushed to death, hahaha······"
"What am I going to carry? It must be the coalition government that will carry it! I'm just going to have to do something. ”
Indeed, in such a huge crisis, without a regime that can concentrate on great things, it simply cannot shoulder the burden of saving the world.
The sky falls and there is a coalition government to carry it, but at the same time, everyone must consciously contribute, which is the consistent pattern of the Wandering Earth in the face of crises.
The two dishes ordered by Qiao Lu were also delivered, although the ingredients were earthworms and termites that are rare on weekdays, but after being spicy and fried respectively, there was really a little fragrance.
To put it mildly, it tastes crunchy and has several times more protein than beef.
These folk delicacies are much more seasoned than the health-oriented military canteens, and they are a necessary means of making these special ingredients delicious.
Otherwise, the earthworm may still have an earthy smell when eaten, and it will not be swallowed at all.
While Qiao Lu was enjoying this special lunch, the three young people at the other table had already turned the conversation to the coalition government.
"Hey, you know what? Recently, I heard that the highest decision-making body of the coalition government, in addition to the five directors, there is also a mysterious sixth person. ”
"Who did you listen to? Do you believe this nonsense? Another young man sarcastically said.
"No, I listened to the people who came back from Pandora, someone can talk and laugh with the five councillors at the coalition government meeting, and a series of action plans for Pandora are all formulated by this sixth person."
"Doesn't that mean his status is so high?" A third youth also expressed disbelief.
"Hmph, then you're underestimating this person. At a critical moment, he can also take over the entire Earth wheelhouse, and this person commands the enemy's space carrier. ”
Suddenly, the other two fell silent, and to be able to do this is definitely not an ordinary military commander.
They asked in unison, "So who is this person?" ”
The young man who raised this topic shook his head and said, "His identity is a first-class secret of the coalition government, and it is impossible for us ordinary people to know about it. ”
"Cut, then you say a yarn!" The other two youths said disappointedly.
At this time, after their death, Qiao Lu had just finished lunch and silently checked out and left.
