Chapter 61 Cooking in the Desert
Holding a piece of the scorpion in his hand, Dawn brought everyone to the store that attracted attention from the previous shouts.
When several people came to the shop where the boss shouted "honey pot ants" and looked at the honey pot ants raised in the store, they realized that the name of this "special product" turned out to be so vivid.
The predecessor of this ant is similar to an ordinary ant, but it is much larger, but the abdomen of the ant is as big as a cherry.
Dawn and his group, who had never seen this kind of creature, couldn't help but be curious by this magical creature, and they all tried to ask the boss what species it was.
Regarding Sora's many problems, this middle-aged uncle has always smiled, and there has not been a bloody plot that drove him out because they were little ghosts. However, if it were the local little ghosts, the boss would have changed his face at this moment.
The owner of this shop is a middle-aged uncle and has seen many visitors from the past. Although they are just a few young kids, not everyone can wear a naval uniform.
Depending on the situation, there will definitely be a certain consumption capacity. Besides, there are so many people and honeypot ants are not big, so the number you buy will definitely not be small.
If you take a step back, even if you don’t have money, isn’t there the major general who just got the same amount as the first dollar? Could it be that the Navy will still be able to lose money?
So the smart boss was not impatient when facing the questions from Sora and others. Instead, he calmed them down and began to explain the details of the honeypot ant to several people.
"The origin of the honey pot ants is because these ants are very greedy, so their abdomen feels like a big honey jar is dragged. Do you think their abdomen look like a jar?"
After saying that, the boss smiled and pointed at the honeypot ants with a huge belly in the ant nest, and asked everyone to observe.
"You also know that our place is a desert. Although there is no shortage of Anluya here now, it is for people. The ants living in the desert rely on their appearance to survive in the desert.
This boss probably often explains to outsiders. He is very eloquent and arouses the curiosity of customers just like telling stories. Even Dawn listens with relish.
"In the desert, food is very short of food. Only after heavy rain can plants secrete a large amount of nectar. This is a rare food in dry desert areas."
"So how can these honeypot ants take a good chance to have a full meal? They are greedy and try their best to absorb nectar until their bodies are about to burst."
"In this way, when food is scarce, other ants can spit out honey pot ants by just touching the honey pot ants. This is how the ant colony comes to survive when food is scarce."
"It's so magical. There are actually such an ant in the world." Tina picked up an ant and said in surprise.
"Little girl, you can eat the honey pot ants just by removing their heads, you can try it."
"You can eat it by removing your head and turning it around. Are you the reincarnation of Bell?" Dawn glanced at the smiling boss next to him, and complained in his heart that he didn't organize Tina.
The story has been told, and you are embarrassed to not buy it after you taste it again, right?
I guess this boss is the one who made the idea.
However, Dawn originally wanted to buy some to try it, so he didn't care much. After all, this is also a sales method for doing business, and I have seen it a lot in my previous life.
"Huh? Is it that simple? You can eat it with your head? Why are the colors behind them different?" Tina asked, holding up a red honeypot ant.
"Oh, you said that, our honeypot ants are all grown by artificially, so we don't need them to collect nectar, but we choose fixed food for them, and then we can choose different flavors." The boss said to Tina with a smile.
"Oh, I'll try it." After saying that, Tina was not afraid, she directly turned her head and put the big jar behind the honeypot ant into her mouth.
"Well, is this watermelon smelling cool? It's really good." Tina's eyes lit up after tasting it for a while. The feeling of drinking juice was like drinking juice, and it felt inexplicably comfortable to eat it in this weather with a cool smell.
"Of course, because we are hot here, these honeypot ants will be paired with some mint, which tastes good."
The boss smiled and said, "And because honeypot ants will fully mix what they eat after drinking it, there is no need to mix other things like other beverages to mix the taste. It is purely natural."
Seeing that Tina was eating well, Dawn bought some of the flavors for several people to taste. Dawn also tasted each flavor, but the taste that Dawn liked the most was pure mint, which was very comfortable to eat in a cool way.
However, besides honeypot ants, what interested Dawn the most was the honeypot ants drink and the brewed wine. There is nothing to say about the drink, as long as it is filtered enough.
The most important thing is that the taste of this drink is very good with mint. Dawn bought a lot of flavors in one go and prepared to take them back as a specialty.
The wine is very distinctive. This kind of wine brewed with special ingredients and methods requires many procedures to filter, and there is no residue from the corpse of the honeypot ants that affects the taste.
This amount made the middle-aged uncle laugh from ear to ear. There is no need to worry about money. For example, some of the property seized on the pirate ship will be distributed to those involved in the battle, and the casualties will be given priority to the majority.
However, Dawn and others started to execute the execution of guarding Roger, and they encountered many pirates along the way and got a lot of Baileys, but they had never had the chance to use them.
As for these sweet wines of various flavors, they tasted a bit like drinking cocktails in their previous lives. They were purely natural without adding preservatives and pigments, and were also divided into high and low-grade ones.
As for Dawn as a minor, it is of course a low-grade drink. Although it is wine, Dawn feels that the taste is different from that of the drink.
As for the degree? At least Dawn drank a lot and nothing happened, so did others. Drinking similar to drinking normal drinks may be due to the strength of everyone's physical fitness?
However, this time, I had a lot of gains. Everyone saw that Major General Ake had been walking around before he came back and found a lot of novel food.
For example, crocodile eggs, turtle eggs, grilled crocodile meat, etc. make everyone have a lot of fun eating. This way of eating street stalls reminds Dawn of the leisurely way of visiting street stalls in his previous life.
Often I feel like I haven’t eaten much food but I’m full after walking around the street. Thinking about it, I don’t have much time to relax after coming to this world. Although it’s a bit unexpected to come out this time, it’s also good to enjoy this moment of leisure.
But soon, this quiet leisure was broken.
"The damn thieves are here again! Run away!"
"Run quickly!! Run quickly!!"
