Chapter 277 An Lujia: Watch me perform a mouthful of insects
There is a kind of food in this world that people who have never eaten it think is a dark dish, but people who have eaten it think it is the ultimate delicacy.
Yes, it is...
Insect cuisine.
When the pale yellow larvae and cricket pupae of the bumblebee are placed on the scorching hot grill, the moment they come into contact with the flames, they appear to be twisted wildly and any normal girl would not be able to bear to look at them.
But the two people in front of Link would not do that. Not only that, when Anluga smelled the rising aroma, she widened her eyes and wiped the saliva from the corners of her mouth.
"Hey, charcoal grilled bee pupae, a specialty of our Jieyun Farm. How about it? You haven't seen it before, have you?"
Emily was not only a honey robber, she even robbed other people's children and roasted them for food.
Oh, I almost forgot, ordinary worker bees do not have the right to mate, they are just poor tool bees. Those larvae are the children of the queen bee and the queen bee, and can be considered their offspring at most.
It seems like a relief for them to end their miserable future lives prematurely in the pupae.
An Lujia didn't know whether it could be solved or not, she only knew that this thing was delicious and refreshing.
The moment you bite into the crispy outer shell, the interior is surprisingly soft and delicate.
The inside of the pupa is actually full of juice, with not much meat. It tastes similar to pudding, with a light sweetness.
"Brother, this is delicious. I'll give you one."
Faced with the girl's offer of food, Link did not refuse. There were not many bee pupae, and they were just a small dessert at most. It was enough to just taste them, and it would be meaningless to eat too much.
The three of them quickly finished eating the bee pupae. On the other side, Barus was still busy harvesting and did not come over to have a bite.
Emily, on the other hand, took out a bug net from behind her and pointed to a bush not far away, where several children were waving bug nets and having a lot of fun.
"Next I'm going to catch some medicinal bugs. Do you want to come with me?"
"Yeah."
When she heard that she had to catch insects, the girl nodded excitedly without waiting for Link to answer. Seeing this, Emily chuckled, took out two insect nets from behind her and stuffed them into the hands of the two men.
"In that case, let's go together. I scattered some insect bait earlier, and the insects should be gathering here by now."
As she spoke, Emily took An Lujia's hand, and the two of them ran towards the bushes like sisters.
Seeing this, Link sighed.
To be honest, Anluka, wearing a kimono, is not suitable for this kind of sport, as it is easy to get her clothes dirty, but the child loves to play, so Link can only let her do it.
After all, every child has experienced the age of catching and chasing butterflies.
Link followed behind and walked into the bushes surrounded by the children.
Above the bushes is an insect cage fixed by a frame. Inside is a three-layer structure. In the middle is a hollow area with a small cup. In the cup is bait to lure insects, which emits an unpleasant smell.
The outer edge of the cup is surrounded by a fine mesh, and outside of that is a sturdy insect net with an inverted whisker design. Once an insect enters through the entrance, it cannot get out.
At this moment, several trapped light insects, as well as large shovel-shaped butterflies, flower bollworms and other insects, were lying on the fine net, trying desperately to get closer to taste the bait.
However, humans are extremely cunning, and the design of this insect cage is extremely clever. Although the trapped insects can see the food, they cannot eat it anyway and can only run around anxiously outside.
Other insects attracted by the bait were chased around by the playful children.
At this moment, An Lujia and Emily, two adults, mixed in with the group of children without any scruples and started playing with them.
"Hey."
An Lujia took a fancy to a large light blue beetle, and with a wave of her little hand, she covered it with the net.
Reaching out to scoop the insect out of the net, An Lujia looked at its struggling appearance, thinking of the bee pupa she had just eaten, and opened her mouth expectantly.
"Aww."
After taking a bite, An Lujia's little face suddenly squeezed into a piece, and then she quickly spat out the half of the insect body in her mouth.
Link noticed this and looked down to see that she was vomiting bitter worms.
No wonder, although this insect has high medicinal value, it tastes much more bitter than the decocted Chinese medicine.
Normal hunters dry it, grind it into powder, and add a little bit to the potion.
After taking this bite, Anluga suddenly lost the idea of continuing to catch insects. She threw the insect net to the ground and moved closer to Link with a pouty face.
Seeing this, Link could only get some honey from the honey barrel that Emily placed next to the small fire, and then get some well water from the well beside the field, mix it into honey water, and use it to rinse the child's mouth.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp."
Holding the glass bottle that a hunter would definitely carry with him, Anluga puffed out her cheeks, rinsed her mouth, and swallowed the honey water in her mouth directly.
Seeing this scene, Link was glad that he got up late in the morning and did not take the child to brush her teeth, otherwise she would probably drink the water she used to brush her teeth.
Because of Anluga's previous record of eating bitter insects raw, Link didn't dare let the child continue catching insects. Ordinary insects were okay, but it would be a lot of fun if he caught a poisonous spider or scorpion.
"Okay, let's go back."
After eating bee pupae and catching insects, a lot of time passed. Link looked up at the sky. Although it was still early, he didn't want to continue playing.
While the guild employees are still at get off work, the important thing to do is go to the guild and draw a portrait of this child.
"Uh-huh."
An Lujia didn't want to play anymore. It was the first time she realized that besides delicious food, there were also such disgusting things.
The bitter taste, even after being washed away by honey water, still lingered in the child's heart, leaving a deep impression on her.
She would never eat randomly again, and even before eating, she decided to ask Link's opinion first.
"Emily, Barrus, I have something else to do. I'll take the child and leave first."
"Okay, take care, and come play again next time."
After waving goodbye to the two, Link took An Lujia back to the hotel.
He came to the guild front desk again, and this time, he finally saw someone he knew.
Huihui, the red-dressed poster girl who looked very energetic, was helping a hunter to complete the task registration procedures. Link took a quick look at the man and saw from the heavy earth dragon suit he was wearing that he knew he was probably a three-star hunter.
Seeing Huihui, Link thought of Sato in Lockrak. That lucky guy seemed to have a cat named Huihui at home who liked to play with explosive barrels.
It's not strange to have the same name, and he's not the only one named Link. Shaking his head, Link came forward with Anluga after the Sand Dragon Hunter left.
