This time, the 'crocodile fishing' trip in the swamp area came to a perfect end, and everyone was naturally happy.

However, from sunrise to sunset, the nerves have been in a tense bowstring state, and when they stop at this moment, everyone is extremely tired.

But when I think of the hidden task I have completed, I wish I could do it again. When drinking in the bar, Qin Fen also heard gossip. For example, when you slaughter 1,000 civilians in a row in an adventure world, you will be given the title of "executioner", and some people say that if you rape/commit adultery with 100 women in a row in a mission world, you will get the title of "lewd/thief", and so on. Of course, the veracity of these messages is up for reference. The accomplishment of the hidden task of "genocide" is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.

"Woo, I'm tired!" The elf girl waved her white and tender little fist, her big eyes blinked, and she ran to Qin Fen's side to be coquettish, "I want to eat something delicious!" ”

As soon as she heard about eating, Qianxue, a foodie, naturally raised her hands in favor and said:

"That's right, I'm going to eat something delicious too! Today, I only ate three chocolates and a bag of compressed biscuits a day, so I had to treat myself. ”

Qin Fen was unmoved, and said in his mouth: "Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing." ”

"Don't, Brother Qin, you're the best!"

“……”

A group of people walked out of the floodplain plain and embarked on the road back.

At this time, it was almost evening, and the fire clouds on the horizon were like fish scales, layered on top of each other, magnificent and strange, and indescribably wonderful. It was almost dusk, and it was the time when all the birds were returning to their nests, and all kinds of unknown birds flew from the sky, and their ears were full of crisp birdsong. As the sun sets, all things are clothed in a layer of golden gauze, and the unnamed flowers are still blooming tirelessly, forming a magnificent garden of purple and red in the ground and in the air. Take a deep breath and the moist air after the rain and the refreshing fragrance of flowers pour into your lungs, making you feel refreshed and refreshed, outlining a peaceful and warm rainforest dusk......

Along the way, Qianxue and the elf girl talked endlessly, and in the end, Qin Fen was really worn out of temper, and even the eldest lady of Yinzi looked at him with a smile, and could only raise her hand to surrender, and said:

"Okay, just eat, you go and help me find some ingredients."

"yes, it's delicious again!" The elf girl made a triumphant gesture, "What are we going to eat this time?" Frogs? ”

Qin Fen smiled, "...... Eat bugs! ”

"Aren't you very active, let's go to the jungle and catch some red ants, and get some ant eggs by the way."

Xiaoxi clutched her chest and retreated, like a little girl who had been bullied, her big eyes were pitiful, and her mouth was pruned: "Why do you eat bugs?" I feel disgusting! ”

"You'd be wrong." Qin Fen said seriously, "The insects just look disgusting, but they taste very fragrant, how about it, do you want to try it?" ”

The elf girl couldn't resist the temptation of the food, and after hovering between 'disgusting bugs' and 'delicious dinner' for three seconds, she turned around and ran into the jungle: "I'm going to catch red ants!" ”

Insects have always had a bad reputation. They are thought to be dirty and disease-carrying – but in fact less than 0.5% of insects are harmful to humans, livestock or crops. Of course, it is not advisable to eat insects that you catch at will, but for the adventurer's strong gastrointestinal function, as long as you overcome the psychological barrier, eating insects is completely unhindered.

Why do we find insects so disgusting?

Actually, the answer is simple: because they are animals.

As a hidden universal rule, most of the foods that humans feel sick to are animal products. Even the most unsavvy meat-eaters eat only a small subset of species on Earth. On the other hand, cockroaches are no different from gorillas, gerbils, iguanas, or any other creature that we don't normally eat.

Ai Jia'er timidly pulled the corner of Qin Fen's clothes, "The insects are not delicious, I can eat some vegetables." ”

Qin Fen earnestly taught: "What are you afraid of, eating insects is actually beneficial to the human body. First of all, insects are high in protein, vitamins, and minerals. Secondly, insects are cold-blooded creatures that can convert plant bodies into proteins very efficiently, remember what Bei Ye once said? Hey, look what we found? A weevil hiding inside an oak tree has three times as much protein as the same beef! …… As long as you let go of your mind, you will find that it is nothing more than that, not as scary as you imagined. There are many things that you have to try to understand and learn, and gradually you will find out what the fun is. ”

"Oh......"

Many Chinese think that the moon in foreign countries is rounder, and once they have money, they think about immigration, immigrating to Australia, the Aegean Sea, ancient Greece, the United States, etc., as if even Americans are is fragrant. However, the meat of the United States also has Clenbuterol, because it is legal to use Clenbuterol in the United States, and the United States also uses the status of Big Brother to force Ben to admit that Clenbuterol is legal and has to buy it - this is the helplessness of having troops stationed in other countries on the soil. The same goes for eating insects, and if you get past the hurdle in your heart, you'll be fine.

After a while, the elven girl returned, carrying two jars in her left hand, one for red ants and one for ants, and in the other hand a brightly colored one with wings, one size smaller than an ostrich...... Archaeopteryx?

The elf girl said crisply, "This guy sneaked up on me, so I knocked it out and dragged it back...... Qin Fen, I want to eat and call Hua Chicken to say! ”

Your sister, this is your true purpose! I want to bite two bites when I see everything, and the last Tyrannosaurus rex barbecued pork didn't satisfy your appetite!

In other words, you must not be able to understand the essence of the flower chicken, maybe you will understand it as "the chicken eaten by beggars...... But then again, if you cook this "ancestor of chickens" in the same way as called flower chicken, maybe the taste will be different?

Qin Fen rolled his eyes and took the Archaeopteryx that still had one breath left, skillfully cut its neck and bleed, and then went to the stream to clean up the internal organs and other debris, and then asked the elf girl to go to the river to fish for a few lotus leaves, fortunately, these lotus leaves were huge enough to barely wrap around the archaeopteryx, and finally buried it all in the ashes.

At this time, the others also came back from looking for ingredients one after another, put down the things they found, and looked at Qin Fen cooking those ants with curiosity on their faces.

"In fact, there are many ways to eat small things like ants, which can be soaked in wine, can also be made into ant jujube cakes, and can also be used to cook porridge, which can treat some yin deficiency symptoms and strengthen the body." Qin Fen said, "When I was a child, I grew up in the countryside, and I had a neighbor's wife, who was in her nineties and still had a strong body, her head was not dizzy, she was not dizzy, she was not dizzy, and she could walk two miles without panting. The secret is to often stew the ants that crawl into the pot of her house......"

Everyone else looked at it with puzzled eyes, just when the strange people heard it, if eating ants can make people live a long life, then the ants in the world have already been eaten.

"Don't believe you." Qin Fen shrugged, "There is a local insect specialty restaurant in Mexico, and Mexico is known as the "hometown of insects". There are more than 500 species of insects on the menu, accounting for one-third of the world's edible insects. When former U.S. President Klint visited Mexico, he was able to taste the famous dish of "Mexican caviar" made from red ant eggs at the hotel where he stayed, and it was said to be quite delicious. ”

"Well, I'm starting to look forward to hearing you say that......"

In fact, ant food is no stranger in our country, and friends who like to travel must know that Guilin, Yunnan and other tourist destinations are selling big red ants that benefit the liver and protect the eyes and health, and the honey promoted in many places has the same effect.

This little thing is very easy to cook, as long as you master the heat and cooking method. As he spoke, he heard the explosion sound of "popping and popping", and a jar of red ants quickly became food, Qin Fen put a small plate on each of them, and added a spoonful of mixed honey.

Everyone frowned, silently staring at the black stuff on the plate. In the end, it was the elf girl, a foodie, who tasted a small bite first, and suddenly her eyes widened, and she exclaimed:

"Well, that's pretty good!"

Others will be skeptical, and after eating it, they will find that it does taste good. Some of them resemble rough black sesame seeds that have been chewed unground, but they also have a walnut flavor that doesn't make you feel too disgusting.

After a while, Qin Fen reconciled starch and other ingredients and made another canned ant egg. The ant eggs are the size of peas, and at first glance they look like a miniature version of the pork kidneys, with a white and tender appearance and a thin film on the surface, which is pleasing to the eye and refreshing. It tastes sweet and crispy, but with a slight elasticity, a little sticky, but the taste is undoubted.

Even after trying it carefully, she found that she liked the taste a little. In "jargon" terms:

In fact, the first time I asked me to eat ant eggs, I refused, because, if you can't let me eat them, I will eat them immediately. First of all, I'm going to give it a try......
