Chapter 514: Giant Mantis Shrimp



Although the people of the Blue Water Tribe did not get particularly close to them, everyone knows that orcs have sharp ears, and Xuan did not deliberately lower his voice, so he would definitely be heard!

Xuan blinked his eyes when he was warned by Meng Yuqing, then made a zipper-zipping gesture to shut up, and Meng Yuqing let him go.

The Blue Water Tribe sent a lot of seafood, as well as enough meat from large sea beasts.

Meng Yuqing just glanced at the animal meat; his attention was entirely on the seafood.

The seafood here is much larger than that in the modern world, but they look pretty much the same.

"Xuan! Come and see! It's a super-large mantis shrimp!" Meng Yuqing took a wooden stick more than one meter long and poked it into the shell containing the seafood.

Xuan Shou, who was making food, thought, "Pipi Shrimp? What a familiar name."

He remembered that when he had just met Meng Yuqing, Meng Yuqing would always say, "Pipi Shrimp, let's go," when she sat on his back and told him to go.

Therefore, he always wanted to see what the thing that Meng Yuqing called "Pipi Shrimp" was.

However, at that time, they had not yet made friends with the Blue Water Tribe, and Meng Yuqing did not know that there were mantis shrimps in this world. So he told him that the beasts in his world looked very different from those in the modern world. If he wanted to see the mantis shrimps, he might have to wait until they went to the modern world together. Not only could he see them, but he could also eat them.

After handing over the work at hand to Lian, Xuan walked towards Meng Yuqing to take a look at the so-called mantis shrimp.

On the stone-paved ground in front of the house, Meng Yuqing was dancing and talking with Wu Aling from the Blue Water Tribe.

A Ling stood beside him and listened quietly.

Quiet as a virgin, swift as a rabbit. However, the quiet one is A Ling, while the swift one is Meng Yuqing.

"A Ling, stay here and eat with me. I'll make you stir-fried mantis shrimp, grilled mantis shrimp, garlic mantis shrimp, and garlic vermicelli scallops." Meng Yuqing turned to look at Xuan again, "Xuan, did you put vermicelli in the food you packed for me?"

"We've put some of the food in Qingshan City there." Xuan walked over and said.

Meng Yuqing nodded and continued to say to A Ling, "The rice in broth is also delicious."

Listening to Meng Yuqing chattering in her ear, A Ling had a faint smile on her face. It was not the usual dignified and formal smile on her face, but a happy smile that came from the heart.

As the witch of the Blue Water Tribe, because of his special nature, the entire Blue Water Tribe treats him with more respect than intimacy.

In fact, this is the attitude towards witches in many tribes.

Some people enjoy this, while others find it lonely.

A Ling is obviously the latter, so he actually envies Meng Yuqing very much.

Xuan walked to the shells containing seafood, raised his hand and took out the mantis shrimp that Meng Yuqing only dared to poke with a stick.

He shook the nearly one-meter-long mantis shrimp. "Is this it? This is the mantis shrimp?" He turned his head and looked at Meng Yuqing in surprise. "You can't ride this one either..."

Meng Yuqing, who was sharing Qingshan City's unique juice with A Ling, said: "Puff..."

The Blue Water Tribe sent a lot of seafood in large quantities and of many varieties. After Meng Yuqing prepared the seafood, in addition to the few of them who ate it, other people from the Blue Water Tribe who came over after smelling the fragrance also tasted some of it.

Because the mantis shrimps here are too big and the tools are not complete, the mantis shrimps cannot be roasted whole and can only be divided into sections.

Although Meng Yuqing kept saying that she wanted to cook for A Ling, there were too many seafood, so the main labor force was still Xuan and Lian.

Not long after they started eating, Meng Yuqing, who was gnawing on the shells of the grilled mantis shrimp, quickly caught Lian's attention.

He tiptoed over to Meng Yuqing, picked up a piece of grilled mantis shrimp, peeled out the meat and ate it. Then he stared at the shell in his hand for a long time, unable to resist asking Meng Yuqing in a low voice, "Yuqing, why do you keep chewing on this shell?"

Meng Yuqing turned to look at the chain while holding the shell in his mouth, and said slowly, "Because I found that the flavor is all in the shell, and the meat is not very flavorful."

Hearing what Meng Yuqing said, Lian thought back to the grilled mantis shrimp he had just eaten. The taste was indeed a bit bland, but the mantis shrimp itself tasted very good, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

However, after Meng Yuqing said so, Lian looked at the shell in his hand, raised his head and looked around. After making sure that everyone was busy eating and not noticing him, he also licked the shrimp shell with his tongue.

Then his eyes lit up.

After that, there was another person quietly licking shrimp shells in the corner.

A Ling had been staying next to Meng Yuqing and heard the conversation between Meng Yuqing and Lian, but he couldn't see it and didn't know that Lian had started licking the shrimp shells.

But that didn't stop him from thinking for a while and then picking up a piece of shrimp shell and licking it.

Then he nodded secretly, thinking that Meng Yuqing was right.

A Ling came here just to meet Meng Yuqing. Neither of them talked about business. Meng Yuqing mainly expressed his love for the Blue Water Tribe, the island, and the Blue Water Tribe's architecture, and introduced what delicious and useful things there are in Qingshan City. He also told A Ling that after he and Xuan returned from the sea, they could go to Qingshan City to play when they had time.

"Okay." A Ling replied with a chuckle.

The result of Xuan Helian showing off his cooking skills here was that the orcs from the Blue Water Tribe hugged their legs and arms and invited them to stay.

Of course, Xuan Helian ruthlessly rejected their invitation.

After seeing the Blue Water Tribe's pursuit of life, Meng Yuqing quietly showed them the clothes designed by the sub-beasts of Qingshan City.

That’s right, there are finally sub-beasts in Qingshan City who have started to try their hand at designing clothes, and Meng Yuqing is no longer the only one.

The clothes he brought were soon loved by the sub-beasts of the Blue Water Tribe.

And they decided on the spot that when the next market opened, they wanted to exchange for the ready-made clothes directly instead of changing the cloth and making them themselves.

The plan worked! Meng Yuqing silently gave himself a thumbs-up.

The three of them only stayed in the Blue Water Tribe for one night. Although Meng Yuqing liked this place very much, everyone knew that time was very tight, so the next day Po arranged for two orcs to take them to find the Scaled Armor Tribe.

After entering the territory of the Scaled Armor Tribe, the few of them slowed down and Chain lowered his flying altitude so that the people in the sea could spot them.

However, before they encountered the patrol team of the Golden Scale Tribe, they encountered... beating children?

Not sure, let’s see.

Meng Yuqing and Lian closed their eyes, shook their heads, and then opened them again.

Yes, they were really beating children, and the children being beaten looked quite familiar. The one swimming in front was the little prince we saw at the market that day, right?
