She is determined to turn thi...

Chapter 196 Eating Locusts

Actually, he had already noticed that Lin Ru was also disgusted by these insects. When he first took them out, although Lin Ru tried her best to keep her expression steady, her tightly clenched hands and the slight tremor when she touched the locusts! He noticed it all!

However, he didn't know how to deal with these insects, so he watched Lin Ru finish one first before he started to do it himself!

When Lin Ru saw that Wu Ling had taken her place, she suddenly realized that he had been deliberately speaking in her ear!

The purpose was to prevent her from having to deal with those insects. She watched as Wu Ling skillfully pulled out the internal organs, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief!

"Alright! Wu Juan! Go get me some charcoal! I'll go inside and get some seasonings!"

Nowadays, due to natural disasters and man-made calamities, most of the people in this county have left, and the inn where they are staying is actually only occupied by this group of people!

They've booked the entire backyard!

Therefore, some seasonings and charcoal are very easy to obtain!

However, Lin Ru thought that since this was the first time she had made it, she needed to make sure everyone thought it tasted good so that things would be easier to handle later. So she went into her room, opened the Taobao shopping system, and bought barbecue seasoning!

In today's modern world, people don't pay much attention to their appetites; they're all focused on cultivating themselves and becoming immortals! Eating too much junk food increases impurities in the body, which is why this barbecue seasoning is incredibly cheap!

She bought ten kilograms with just one digital coin!

It's incredibly cheap!

She opened the barbecue seasoning and took a deep breath of that familiar aroma! It smelled absolutely amazing! She felt her mouth watering again!

She suddenly felt that grilling just a locust was too monotonous, and some people might not like it! She herself hadn't had barbecue in a long time. Back in the modern world, ever since she entered the era of cultivation, she hadn't eaten barbecue in order to better cultivate and prolong her life!

And most importantly, it was also to allow people in ancient times to experience the deliciousness of barbecue!

She was going to go to the kitchen to get some meat and bean products! It was just a pity that there weren't any vegetables available, otherwise she could have grilled some peppers and mushrooms!

As soon as she stepped out the door, she remembered that she didn't have any skewers, so she quickly ordered the people downstairs to get some bamboo skewers!

She also drew up a blueprint and had her men go to the blacksmith's shop to make a simple barbecue grill!

After that, she took the lead and started stringing the skewers!

Lin Bai and Lin Mo followed behind their elder sister, Lin Ru, and they were both puzzled by the strange things she was making!

However, Lin Mo was extremely skilled with his hands; he learned everything after only seeing it once! That's why he could skewer things so quickly and well!

Furthermore, they proactively suggested that the meat be marinated first, so that it would have a base flavor!

Lin Ru admired her second brother to some extent!

She almost forgot about marinating it first!

So she added some ingredients to remove the fishy smell and enhance the aroma, and then marinated the meat!

Looking at the things in front of him, Lin Bai couldn't help but sigh, "Given the current situation, these things must be very expensive, right? Eldest sister, do you still have any money?"

Lin Ru smiled and nodded at his head, "Don't worry about it! I have money! I can't afford vegetables, but I can still eat some meat!"

That's right, vegetables are now more expensive than meat. After all, it hasn't rained for so long, and the vegetables in the fields have basically all failed. Although there might be a little bit left by the river, these vegetables are very expensive and are only for rich people! And you have to have some connections to get them!

For someone like Lin Ru, who is new to the area, it's already quite good that she can buy some meat!

After they've prepared everything!

It took about another hour for the oven to return!

Looking at the ingredients, Lin Ru suddenly remembered the large appetites of the Wu people, so she had three large pots of rice cooked! She also went out and bought a large jar of pickled vegetables!

Everything is ready!

Lin Ru, with the grasshopper already strung up, lit the charcoal fire under everyone's watchful eyes and placed the locust on the makeshift grill to roast!

This was her first time working with this, so she was very careful and meticulous in every step!

By the time she finally sprinkled on the barbecue seasoning, a fine layer of sweat had formed on her forehead!

But smelling that familiar aroma, she suddenly felt that everything was worthwhile. It was just a pity that what was in front of her was lamb skewers!

She looked at the string of locusts in her hand, trying to mentally prepare herself, thinking of setting a good example for everyone!

But before she could even prepare the string of locusts in her hand, it was snatched away!

Lin Ru looked up and saw that Wu Ling had already put the skewer into his mouth!

He calmly bit off a locust and chewed it carefully in his mouth!

When the others saw Wu Ling actually open his mouth and eat a locust, and the locust made a crunching sound in his mouth, they felt their hands clench tightly together, and their expressions became uncontrollably ferocious!

Lin Ru also felt uncomfortable all over, but what made her even more nervous was that Wu Ling chewed the food without swallowing. After finally swallowing it, he ate another one without making any comments!

Everyone stared at Wu Ling's chewing mouth, their faces shifting from initial resistance to overflowing curiosity!

Even Lin Ru couldn't help but ask, "Is it good? What does it taste like?"

Wu Ling swallowed the worm in his mouth and commented, "When this locust first enters your mouth, it's a bit crunchy and tastes like the seasonings. But if you savor it carefully, it also has a chicken flavor. Because it's roasted over charcoal, it also has a charcoal aroma. This thing is quite strange; the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes!"

"It's quite delicious!"

Lin Ru breathed a huge sigh of relief upon hearing this assessment!

She suddenly felt incredibly confident and started baking again!

Wu Ling handed the skewer in his hand to the Wu clan members behind him, looked at them sharply, and commanded, "Eat this! No hiding! Everyone will have a skewer in a bit!"

The Wu clan members, frightened by the pitiful look in their young clan leader's eyes and his imposing aura, quickly accepted the string of coins with both hands and then distributed it rapidly!

Just as they were trying to mentally prepare themselves, Lin Ru smiled and explained to them, "Hurry up and eat, this is very nutritious!"

"I once read a book that said locusts can nourish the kidneys and enhance male virility! They can also detoxify and beautify the skin! They're a medicinal herb!"
