Chapter 170: Meet Again

Food and gastronomy are two different concepts, and although both are also talking about the same "eating", the purpose of eating and eating is not the same.

Take the compressed biscuits and military dry food that everyone ate before, a little bit can fill the stomach, but the taste is really not flattering.

But the insect feast that everyone eats now is a delicacy. The main aspect of food is not nutrition, but taste, and then it is the color and flavor, and then it goes further, that is, the all-round dining utensils and environment are coordinated......

The taste of the ants is not bad, but unfortunately there are not many of these little things, and each person will be gone after two bites. Everyone knows the taste of the marrow, and gradually let go of the burden and begins to taste these "peculiar" delicacies.

The second dish is a specialty snack is fried bamboo worms, which are a local favorite in Thailand with sticky rice. There is no sticky rice here, but the baked breadfruit and fried bamboo worms taste just as good.

In fact, there is a whole bamboo banquet in the southern region of our country, which is a unique dish, and the same as the giant panda eats, all dishes are related to bamboo. Including bamboo shoots, bamboo insects, bamboo rats and many more.

In China, the most accepted is Zhizhi and Locusts. You can eat fried food all over Shandong, the whole body is there, sometimes it is coated with flour, crispy and refreshing, without any strange taste.

Many children who grew up in the countryside must have held a long bamboo pole wrapped with asphalt when they were young, and then simmered into the smoke of the farmland.

It just so happened that the silver wolf went to the forest to catch more than a dozen only to know that he had come back, presumably he had enjoyed this kind of food, and urged Qin Fen to do it.

Qin Fen thought about it for a while, and then planned to borrow a famous dish, that is, the famous "knowing the back meat filling" in Yunnan.

The production process of this special snack is quite unique, first cut off the cicada feet and wings, and then cut the back with a knife, and then fill in the mixed meat filling seasoning, close the knife edge, fry the yellow, crispy outside and tender "know the back meat filling" that is ready, which has the characteristics of Dai cuisine.

The production method is not difficult, and it tastes crispy and delicious, which makes everyone praise it loudly.

"It's a pity that I didn't find locusts, otherwise I would have been able to make my childhood dream come true." The silver wolf babbled, and said with some regret.

Qin Fen had also eaten locusts, and the best cooking method he had ever tasted was sauce locusts like sauce donkey meat. Repeated air-drying and repeated harvesting of juice, although it is more troublesome, but the soy sauce, sugar and spices taste into the internal organs of the locusts, and it is quite satisfying to eat.

"Woo, I didn't expect these disgusting-looking little things to taste so good!"

"To take care of your tastes, this is already very ordinary, okay?" Qin Fen said with a smile, "In the Great Heavenly Empire, there is no such thing as not being edible. There is a good saying: except for the four-legged bench, there is nothing that cannot be eaten except for those who fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water. The reason why many ways to eat it have not spread is probably because of the poor taste. ”

The silver wolf continued, "That's right, I spent the summer vacation at my grandmother's house when I was a child, and I ate a lot of things, such as mice, toads, bats, etc. Especially the toad, don't look at it disgusting, after throwing it into the fire and cooking it, the meat is fragrant. (I suddenly remembered that I had eaten toads when I was a child, and I couldn't go back to my childhood...... )

This topic quickly aroused everyone's interest, and Miss Yinzi also smiled and said:

"In the past, there was a large field of rape flowers behind the elementary school campus, and in the spring, when the rape flowers were in full bloom and thousands of bees gathered, the boys would tear two pieces of paper and rush into the field to catch bees. Dip some saliva on your clothes to let the bee sting off the needle, and then tear it off and suck the sweet honey inside. I remember eating bee pupae when I was a child, and the mountain wasp eggs have a strong almond flavor, which is the most fragrant bee chrysalis taste. After frying in oil, the outside is charred and the inside is tender and fragrant, compared with peanuts, it is as good as that. ”

Nina was not to be left behind, and said with a smile:

"I didn't have as colorful a childhood as yours, but I once heard a friend from Nepal say that there is a traditional dish in Nepal where live bee larvae are wrapped in cloth and squeezed, and the squeezed liquid is scrambled like scrambled eggs. There is also the "cold bee salad", which is said to have a unique flavor by boiling young bees in boiling water until they are half-cooked and then pickled in a pickled vegetable condiment. ”

However, the best way to cook bee pupae is to make them spicy and sweet, which is more acceptable than in Korea.

Saying that, the silver wolf sighed, "If that kid is still here, I think I'll be happy to find a topic." ”

"When I went to his hometown, I found that the countries of Southeast Asia are very popular in eating strange things, such as insects such as beetles and iron bulls. In particular, the iron bull, the bigger the more valuable, in addition to being able to train into a 'saint warrior' betting/betting, it is also famous for its deliciousness. The cooking method is boiled in salted water with various spices. It is not unusual for free markets to sell cooked food from insects such as beetles, spiders and iron oxen in the same way that they sell braised chickens and ducks. ”

Qin Fen nodded and said:

"It's not uncommon to see insects as food, and I've seen the Qingping Market in Guangdong, which is like an insect museum."

Guangdong has always been unique in the rivers and lakes with the attitude of "no one has me, no one has me, and I am surprised". In Cantonese cuisine, there are many delicacies made with insects. The crisp and light "White Blanched Dragon", the burnt and fragrant "Fried Osmanthus Cicada", the "Fried Banana Maggot", the luscious and salty "Salt and Pepper Dragon Llice", "Salt and Pepper Crickets", and "Salt and Pepper Maggot", taste faintly fragrant, delicious and faint, and the sense of mystery and freshness come together. There are a variety of insects that enter the Cantonese recipes, and as for the cooking skills, they are even more fresh, sweet, spicy, crispy and tender.

After eating a series of special insects, Qin Fen pulled out the "flower chicken" stewed by the Archaeopteryx and counted it as the staple meat. After eating this unique feast of insects, it was already dark. After everyone had eaten and drunk enough, and after washing, they simply cleared a clearing by the brook, which was a simple campsite. It is a swampy and waterlogged forest, with a damp and soft ground that is soft and sloppy in some places, and black sewage is floated when you walk up, while the surrounding shrubs and trees have tabular roots to help sustain themselves.

The canopy is layered from high to low, and each layer is full of life. Kudzu, orchids and bromeliads cling to their tall branches, which are home to monkeys, sloths, hummingbirds, adamantines, parrots, giant butterflies and countless bats.

After making some simple defensive arrangements in common ways and arranging the manpower on duty at night, Qin Fen lay down and enjoyed this rare peace and warmth. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and it didn't take long for rumbling footsteps to come from a distance, the ground was trembling slightly, and there was a roar that exuded ferocious intent.

"Tyrannosaurus rex?" Qin Fen frowned slightly and sat up.

However, all overlord-level predators have a fixed mobile predation area, commonly known as "territory", and usually will not leave the territory unless they encounter an emergency or when it is mating/mating season. Not to mention the Tyrannosaurus rex, a creature with bad eyes at night and almost blind, it is dark at the moment, and under normal circumstances, it must have squatted in the nest. When I reconnoitred before, I found that this area was not the territory of Tyrannosaurus Rex.

What is it that makes this Tyrannosaurus rex so angry?

The answer soon became clear. Because the two men had already rushed over with a shout, and in their arms, each holding a huge pale cyan dragon egg!

The man running in front was tall and burly, wearing a red vest with a cut head, and flaxen-colored muscles bulging into lumps all over his body. The guy in the back looks like Zhou Zheng, about twenty years old, but at first glance, he has an indescribable obscene feeling.

Qianxue's expression changed, and she gritted her teeth and whispered, "It's those two damn sluts!" ”

These two people are Zhang Cheng and Zhao Laosi, who threatened Qianxue in the city when Qin Fen first entered the world!

At this moment, the two of them jumped up and down like wild dogs, and the Tyrannosaurus rex that was chasing and killing was like a bulldozer rampaging through the jungle, startling countless resident birds.

Qin Fen's eyes narrowed, and he waved his hand to signal everyone not to move, and only after Zhao Laosi and the Tyrannosaurus Rex rushed all the way from the hiding point did he say softly:

“…… Did you find anything out of the ordinary? ”
