Who is Grandpa Li? He has lived through countless storms, both big and small, in his life.
During the most difficult period of my youth, I was being hunted down by enemies. Unable to defeat them, I could only flee to the deep mountains and forests. Let alone eating insects, I had never even eaten poop before.
He vaguely remembered the nauseating sensation of those insects bursting in his mouth.
The physiological resistance made Mr. Li hesitate for once.
"Girl, I trust your judgment and I'll listen to whatever you say."
He really wanted to say that he didn't want to choose any of them, but he couldn't refuse the girl.
Gritting his teeth, Grandpa Li's face showed an expectant look.
At worst, I'll risk my life to keep the cook company.
Lu Wu, who had taken in all of Grandpa Li's changing expressions, didn't hesitate. After making sure the oil was hot enough, Lu Wu rolled her eyes and scooped up the grasshopper, which looked the worst, and poured it into the oil.
Sizzle.
Once the drained insects are put into the pot, the golden hot oil boils instantly, and the oil explodes with a series of loud sizzling sounds.
The insect rolled around in the oil pan, its body quickly covered with a transparent oil film, and its edges curled slightly before it began to shrink.
The grasshoppers, originally greenish-blue, quickly turned red. After losing their original color, the bright red grasshoppers in the pot were more visually appealing.
They bobbed up and down, their bulging bellies becoming increasingly full.
The aroma of rapeseed oil in the air was strong enough, and as the hot oil relentlessly swirled around the grasshopper's body, a wild, caramelized fragrance began to be released.
Explosive and captivating.
Grandpa Li's nose twitched, and his previously wandering gaze suddenly fixed on something.
At his feet, Big Yellow's nose twitched rapidly.
This aroma is like a powerful, subtle attack on rhubarb, hitting it right on the face.
They watched as the grasshoppers in the pot began to turn into a more appetizing golden yellow. Even though the grasshoppers still retained their original ferocious appearance, in the eyes of Grandpa Li and the three little ones, these grasshoppers had become a delicious delicacy that made their mouths water.
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
So engrossed in watching that he forgot to take care of his face, drool dripped from between his teeth, even forming silver threads in the air.
After wiping away his drool, Dahuang took a firm step forward.
Let him be the first to taste the food his master has prepared.
I, Gou Aotian, the future Dog Emperor, am the undisputed champion.
call out!
That was the sound of wings flapping. Huo Huo, coming from behind, overtook Da Huang and seized the initiative, with Mimi following closely behind.
The kitchen door was only a few steps away from Lu Wu, but the three little ones turned it into a racetrack.
They all wanted to take the lead, but they forgot that their biggest enemy was not each other, but Grandpa Li, who was watching the three fight from the sidelines.
"Girl, are you done?"
As he got closer, Grandpa Li could see the sounds of the grasshoppers colliding with each other when Lu Wu scooped them up.
So crispy, so delightful.
Grandpa Li was eager for it.
If it were anyone else, he would have already started snatching them, but he really didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Lu Wu.
Who made the girl shake her head?
This thing needs to be detonated twice, and even though it doesn't require much technical skill, the process is still very much watched.
Big Yellow rested its two paws on the edge of the stove, its round dog eyes never leaving the stove.
Huo Huo was perched on Lu Wu's head, its paws pressed against Lu Wu's scalp, and Lu Wu could feel Huo Huo's anxiety.
"Meow."
Mimi made a sound, attempting to launch a soul attack on Lu Wu with her cute kitten appearance.
In fact, he succeeded.
"It'll be here soon."
After being fried again, Lu Wu took it out and drained the oil.
The grasshoppers at this time are shiny and glossy, as if coated with a layer of honey. Some grasshoppers have their tails burst open, revealing the pale yellow meat inside.
Golden yellow is alluring.
As the steam rose, Lu Wu poured the pre-mixed salt and pepper seasoning and chili powder into a bowl. This step determined the final taste of the product.
After mixing the seasonings evenly, Lu Wu sprinkled on a handful of perilla leaves to balance the flavor.
The moment Lu Wu removed the chopsticks, she clearly heard the sound of someone swallowing saliva behind her.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Grandpa Li secretly wiping away a suspicious mark from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
"Try it."
Lu Wu placed the plate in front of Grandpa Li and the three little ones, gesturing with a smile.
Mr. Li had prepared himself mentally for the taste of the dish, but he found that when he faced it, all that preparation was unnecessary.
At that moment, he couldn't care less about anything else.
Eat it, eat it.
He was shouting those two words with his whole being, and Grandpa Li was an extremely capricious person.
With a swift movement, the chopsticks from the basket flew into Grandpa Li's hand, and he eagerly picked up a grasshopper and popped it into his mouth.
The moment Grandpa Li bit down, the grasshopper's shell cracked with a "crack" sound.
The grasshoppers in the Azure Realm are quite large and meaty.
After the outer shell of Lu Wu's thigh, which she had deliberately preserved, was bitten open, Grandpa Li pulled the firm thigh meat into his mouth.
After taking the first bite, Grandpa Li lowered his eyes slightly.
Unique food with unique textures, novel and delicious.
The spices, along with ample oil, successfully permeate every part of the fried grasshoppers, stimulating the senses without overpowering them.
Compared to the fibrous texture of the thigh meat, the hollow and soft abdomen takes a different approach, with a faint yellow yolk oozing out, making it very tender.
Grandpa Li ate very quickly. The broken shell stuck to the roof of his mouth. When he scraped it off with his tongue, he wiped it away along with the lingering aroma of the burnt shell.
Grandpa Li kept chewing, his hands rising and falling, unable to stop, leaving afterimages in the air.
It tastes similar to fried shrimp, with a sweet and savory flavor—so delicious!
On the side, the three little ones even used their size to fight over the remaining fried grasshoppers on the plate.
The hard outer shell becomes a small pleasure when eating it.
The food was so delicious that the three little ones scratched the ground with their paws, leaving marks of varying depths.
Judging from their outward appearance, Lu Wu knew that the food was once again a great success.
As long as psychological barriers can be overcome, Lu Wu guarantees that diners will enjoy a unique culinary experience this time.
Thump!
This is the sound of Grandpa Li's chopsticks striking the empty hard drive.
Grandpa Li ate the last grasshopper without anyone noticing, but he was still not satisfied.
Licking the lingering taste from his lips, Grandpa Li looked at Lu Wu, silently urging her on.
"Then, next."
With the grasshopper as a starter, Grandpa Li wasn't so resistant to the rest of the insects.
That day, the one person and the three little ones ate voraciously, and even when their bellies were full, they refused to leave the kitchen.
In the end, it was only after Lu Wu quit that they toned it down a bit.
Thus, it was time to set up the stalls.
Lu Wu, who had finished getting ready early, arrived at the entrance of the Divine Doctor's Hall. The hall was still full of patients today.
Lu Wu, who pulled out his stall in front of a group of patients, was destined to attract attention.
