Hu Xianxian consulted several chefs on how to cook centipede scorpions, and finally made a plate of fried scorpions and a bowl of centipede chicken soup for Caique after being stung countless times.

Hu Xianxian and Caique sat at the same table, looking at Caique, who was eating with relish, and then looking at the snake gall on the plate in front of him, Hu Xianxian smiled bitterly.

She closed her eyes, shoved the snake gall into her mouth, clenched her hands into fists, and swallowed the snake gall with all her might.

Fortunately, the snake gall was not broken, Hu Xianxian only felt a slight bitterness in his throat, and there was no strange smell coming out.

Hu Xianxian arched his hand to Caique and said, "Thank you, although I don't want to eat this snake gall, but it really has some benefits." I've been scared by those bugs for the past few days, and my head is a little groggy now, and I really feel much more sane now. ”

Hu Xianxian stroked the colorful magpie who was focused on eating, "It seems that you are a little glutton." Alas, I'm such a cook for someone else. Now it's a god, right? I even have to cook for my own mount. ”

When Hu Xianxian was reading these things, a coquettish smile came from outside the door. Hu Xianxian looked back and saw that it was Shen Zhujun and Mai Nasha walking hand in hand.

Shen Zhujun wore a turquoise dress, which looked more graceful and elegant than more than two years ago.

Manatha was a little less childish than a few years ago, sweet and generous, she smiled and said, "Sister Hu, we also want to eat the dishes you cooked, I don't know if you are willing to cook for us." ”

Hu Xianxian smiled and got up to greet them, "Yes." I've recently learned a few new dishes, but I don't know if the two eldest ladies dare to eat them? ”

Shen Zhujun smiled, "Is it the same dish that this cute magpie eats?" ”

Hu Xianxian raised his eyebrows, "How?" Can you dare to taste it? ”

Shen Zhujun said: "I don't have that mouthful. It's just that Nasha might like it. ”

Only then did Hu Xianxian notice that Mai Nasha did not gossip with them, but grabbed the remaining scorpion that Caique ate and smacked her lips while eating.

Hu Xianxian opened his mouth, and Shen Zhujun smiled and said, "Miss Hu, you are also willing to bow to the wind, right?" ”

Hu Xianxian nodded, "Willing to bow to the wind, willing to bow to the wind." ”

Manasha spat out the scorpion's hard shell, "You guys are rare and weird! In my hometown, these are common foods. ”

She walked up to Hu Xianxian and said, "Sister Hu, your cooking skills have regressed. These two dishes can only be eaten in the future, and they do not make the delicious taste they should have. ”

Hu Xianxian smiled bitterly, and Shen Zhujun frowned and said, "It is very difficult for her to make these terrible and disgusting things into dishes, what kind of taste does it have?" ”

Manatha pouted, "You say those delicacies are horrible and disgusting?" In our heavens, roasted scorpions and fried centipedes are delicacies for entertaining VIPs! Anyway, it looks like I'm going to have to make a few dishes myself to get you guys to accept them. ”

The three of them talked and laughed, and spent a long time happily.

At dinner, Manatha really brought several dishes made of insects to the palace. These are called: roasted scorpions, fried centipedes, crispy grasshoppers, stewed snake soup, and braised insect pupa. Looking at these peculiar dishes, the guests of the palace were very embarrassed.

They really couldn't chopstick these dishes, but it was a recipe that Master Mai Jibu and his son and daughter had worked so hard to cook. Because snakes, insects, rats, and ants were very few, they led people to search for an afternoon before they caught some hidden in the cracks of the rocks. After catching the ingredients, it was cooked by Mr. Mai and his children.

The guests in the palace all know that Master Mai and the old prince have a very good personal relationship, and in the past few years, King Shenjun was young, and Lord Mai helped King Shenjun a lot. If you don't eat these dishes, it will be a bit of a shame for Master Mai.

Hu Xianxian and the other guests all looked at King Shenjun, wanting to see his attitude from his expression.

King Shenjun picked up a scorpion and put it into Shen Tingyang's bowl with an expressionless face, "Mr. Shen, you have worked hard these days, please." ”

Shen Tingyang's face was purple, his eyes were slightly closed, and he put the scorpion into his mouth at an extremely slow speed.

Shen Zhujun, who was at the next table, glared at King Shenjun angrily, and King Shenjun pretended not to see it.

Just when Hu Xianxian was worried about whether King Shenjun's move of letting his future father-in-law "test insects" make him and Shen Zhujun have a relationship gap, Mai Taha snatched the scorpion from Shen Tingyang's mouth.

Shen Tingyang breathed a sigh of relief, and Metaha regretted: "It seems that you don't know how to eat these delicacies...... Look, peel off the shell first, and then dip it in some spices......"

"This seasoning has cumin powder, pepper, walnuts and salt......

Mata Ha smelled the scorpion dipped in good ingredients, and said intoxicatedly, "It's so fragrant...... He seemed to be eager to eat it, but he didn't eat it, he handed the scorpion with the seasoning to Hu Xianxian......

Hu Xianxian cursed Metaha ten thousand times in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he humbly said: "This is the delicious food that the prince comforts Mr. Shen, how dare I enjoy it?" ”

Metaha didn't care what she said at all, and said with a slight threat: "Xianxian, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and you don't want me at all?" When you refuse my food, do you refuse to be friends with me? ”

Hu Xianxian saw that King Shenjun's expression was serious, full of coercion to ask her to eat, as if she was committing a crime if she didn't eat.

She felt that she was really pitiful, and helplessly begged Cheng Haofeng with her eyes. But he didn't help her say a fair word, and he seemed to be smiling, looking like he was gloating.

Hu Xianxian didn't want to be looked down upon, so she lowered her heart and swallowed the scorpion in one gulp.

She closed her eyes and chewed a few bites, and the taste of surprise came over her taste buds. She couldn't help but frown, enjoying the taste.

After eating one, Manasha asked her expectantly, "Isn't it delicious?" ”

Hu Xianxian replied with a smile: "It really tastes great." ”

She glanced at Cheng Haofeng, he sat indifferently, and he didn't marvel at her "feat", Hu Xianxian was a little disappointed in his heart.

She turned to look at Mai Taha and whispered, "Thank you, Young Master Mai, for the delicious food." The taste of this scorpion is a bit like shrimp, but it is richer and more mellow than the shrimp flavor. ”

Mataha laughed, "Of course, how could I possibly let the fairy eat something unpalatable? ”

Mai Jibu took advantage of everyone's relaxed smile, hurriedly beckoned the guests to eat while it was hot, and personally peeled a scorpion and dipped it in the ingredients before offering it to King Shenjun to eat.

After King Shenjun ate it, he also praised the taste, and the guests ate it with confidence.

Shen Zhujun never dared to eat it, and later Mai Nasha pulled several grasshopper legs for her, and she barely tasted a little.

The banquet was going on happily, and Maitaha carefully peeled and dipped Hu Xianxian like this, and she didn't do it herself, just open her mouth.

Cheng Haofeng chewed things very slowly and carefully, and he never raised his eyelids, but Hu Xianxian always felt that he was looking at him coldly. She was unhappy in her heart, and she was afraid that she would lose her temper after drinking, so she took a plate of roasted scorpions, brought a pot of wine, and secretly went to the small garden to drink alone.

In the middle of the moon, the roasted scorpions have been eaten, and the wine is almost gone.

Hu Xianxian smiled to himself and said: "I knew that these snakes, insects, rats and ants were also delicious, so I should have called someone to eat them." What can stand up to a man's diet? Two or three clicks will have to be eaten. There is no need to remove it with great effort. ”

She wanted to take the last sip of wine and go back to rest, but in a trance she heard a sneer.

Hu Xianxian looked around vigilantly, only seeing the wind shaking the shadow of the tree, and there was no abnormality.

She felt dizzy and walked to the guest room step by step.

After only a few steps, he heard a terrible scream, and Hu Xianxian hurriedly swept to the direction where the voice came from.

In a pool of blood lay a maid whose body had been broken in two, and next to her was a maid with several bloody holes in her body sitting on the ground.

A few steps away from them, a woman was crouching on the ground, holding her head and shaking, muttering, "Youkai...... Yokai ......"
