Chapter 38: Eating Worms
The Chinese New Year Gala is located on the green grass of Central Park, and many people are busy with excitement. It's a bit like the last dinner party......
There is no strife, away from the noise, without a large number of functional robots, people do it themselves, and they have enough food and clothing.
The scene is very plain and full of warmth.
Of course, there are no large number of Chinese New Year performance ceremonies, everything is voluntary, and there is no government speech or anything like that. This gives people a feeling that "plain is true".
People get together in twos and threes, confide in each other, complain to each other, or confess to someone, or point out that someone is not doing something wrong at work, etc.
People will always choose this day to say things that they would not normally dare to say......
Perhaps, such an annual Spring Festival Gala will become the unique culture of the new human civilization......
Such a culture is not found on earth.
"Actually, the food we cook ourselves tastes good. How so...... There is a feeling of food soul. Yu Yifeng was moving a plate of pasta, and after eating, he wiped his oily mouth with a tissue.
I'm usually used to eating dishes cooked by functional robots, and I'm a little tired of it. Now he feels that the plate in his hand tastes better.
Yes, the dishes cooked by humans are indeed more delicious.
"You'd be wrong. The ultra-intelligent laboratory uses big data to find best practices for each dish. Every step of cooking by these robots is accurate to the second, whether it is turning the pot or controlling the fire, it is very standard. ”
"This standard is the standard of a five-star chef. What you say is delicious is nothing more than a psychological effect. ”
Yuriko finished her last fries, a little unsatisfied, and she said slowly, "If you let the gourmets on earth judge." Unknowingly, they have a high probability that the robot will cook it more deliciously. ”
"Of course, the same dish cooked by the robot tastes the same every time, and of course there is no food soul or anything like that......
Yu Yifeng nodded.
After such a long time of contact, he found that Yuriko was different from other girls, and seemed to be very logical and reasonable.
For her, the world is the greatest, and that's what it means.
Suddenly, an idea came to his heart.
Yu Yifeng went to other places and sandwiched some fried mealworms and grilled shrimp skewers, and of course, French fries, which were Yuriko's favorite things.
Now the party is still in the form of a buffet, eat at will, everyone is full, some people are working, some people are enjoying, everything is voluntary.
Yu Yifeng has all the advantages, but his cooking skills are not good, he can only eat with a shy face.
If he is forced to go up to work, he will only waste the ingredients. Until now, human food has been too precious to be wasted.
"Here, try this!" He pointed to the pile of fried mealworms and said with a slight malice.
Yes, bugs, fried bugs.
They are about three centimeters long, which is the width of three fingernails, and their bodies are rounded and rounded.
Of course, after being fried, it is a little more acceptable, and the level of dark cuisine is reduced a lot.
Yu Yifeng wanted to spoof Yuriko...... But then again, these bugs are indeed a new type of food that the new government wants to promote vigorously.
Because the appearance is really weird, people's acceptance is not very high, and the promotion effect is not good.
In fact, compared with livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep, insects have a faster ability to reproduce and consume more material resources.
And its nutritional value is even higher than that of beef and mutton!
People eating insects are actually a better life choice.
Mealworms, for example, can be used not only as feed, but also as food. Its larvae contain 56.58% crude protein, 28.20% fat, pupae contain 57% crude protein, and adults contain 64% crude protein, which is much higher than that of eggs, beef, mutton and other conventional animal foods, and is easy to digest and absorb, known as the "king of protein" in insects!
If people eat insects generally, they will be better off and will save a lot of resources to feed their livestock, which will make their lives a little better.
Of course, this is the idea of the new government, but it is difficult to get it to be accepted by the general public...... Many countries, especially people in Europe and the United States, face this kind of insect and call "oh my god!", they are not all Bei Ye!
There are also some girls who feel creepy in the face of this dark cuisine, and they don't dare to eat it at all!
"If you are sensible and look up some information, you will know that mealworms are not only high in protein, but also contain a full range of essential amino acids. Well...... You can eat it this way. ”
Yuriko said unconvincingly at Yi Feng's teasing.
Of course, she didn't say these words to Yu Yifeng, but to convince herself that she was trying to eat a worm......
However, when she saw the plate of fried mealworms, she couldn't help but think of how they squirmed when they were alive, and she suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
She was a very sane woman, and knew that it was impossible for this worm to poison herself, and that it was all just a psychological effect.
And, it is said, fried bugs taste good?
She encouraged herself: "Mealworm fat is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which can be purified as a medical and cosmetic fat, which can improve the anti-wrinkle function of the skin...... Yes, it is possible to be beautiful! ”
Yu Yifeng interrupted her very unceremoniously: "Okay, isn't it just eating a worm?" Do you need to say so much? ”
He shoved several strips into his mouth in a row, "That's it! It tastes good! ”
As a former special soldier, eating insects is simply trivial, and it can be said to be a compulsory course for soldiers. Yu Yifeng will never have psychological obstacles.
Yuriko glanced at Yu Yifeng, still stunned in his seat, and refused to move.
As an absolutely rational party, what is reasonable is something that needs to be tried. She brought out all kinds of evidence in her mind, trying to use all kinds of facts to convince herself to eat insects.
Eating insects is a better choice.
Yuriko grabbed a worm with her chopsticks and looked at it closely, feeling quite hesitant.
It's difficult, it's too difficult, solving the Schrödinger equation is just a scum compared to "eating insects"!
She felt her scalp tingle, and her heart was extremely resistant. But reason kept urging her to accept this thing for the benefit of humanity and not the harm.
After all, her thinking is different from that of a normal girl. For her thinking, there is a better solution and a better choice, but it is simply unbearable to resist because of stubbornness and other reasons in her heart.
In the end, she could only bite the bullet, close her eyes, and shove it into her mouth at will.
“##@¥??”
Actually, it tasted much better than expected, and after frying it, it tasted a bit like potato chips, and it couldn't be eaten as bugs at all......
Yu Yifeng felt very funny, "How about it, it's actually okay." ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly noticed that Yuriko's appearance suddenly changed a little......
He stared at it strangely for a long time, and then said, "Your skin seems to have become smoother and more like a ten-year-old, because of the use of new stem cell drugs...... Or the beauty effect of eating bugs? ”
Yuriko's face was stunned, she didn't know what to say, after eating this bug, she just wanted to quickly escape from the scene: "I'll go over there to help cook, you can eat it yourself!" ”
With that, she hurried away......
