Zhihe and Zhili followed behind the village chief, each carrying two straw bags on their backs, hopping and skipping along, occasionally explaining to Xu Milu:
“That’s Naga’s field. Two plots of land away from theirs is my field. My field is the biggest in the whole fried food village! And also, my field is next to the back mountain, and there’s a huge grove of fruit trees on the back mountain.”
Zhihe held his younger brother's hand and led the way, always holding his head high whenever he saw his friends.
I've hired a five-star gourmet hunter!
Many villagers were working in the fields, carrying baskets on their backs as they returned. When they saw the village chief bringing outsiders into the fields, they all looked at him with puzzled expressions.
"This Miss Milu is a five-star hunter."
The village chief's simple words dispelled all the doubts.
A five-star gourmet hunter?!
Good heavens, God of food, how could such a high-level hunter visit their fried village?
Past experience has taught them that it's best not to talk too much, otherwise they might anger the gourmet hunters and cause a lot of trouble.
Therefore, many people only glanced at Xu Milu quickly before immediately lowering their heads, thinking that no one had noticed, and then glanced again...
Xu Milu felt like she was some kind of rare animal being watched by many people.
She had no choice but to feign aloofness, walking along the ridge of the field with the air of a hermit, while in reality she was carefully observing the fried dandelions.
Fried dandelion has a rather blunt name. This plant looks like an enlarged version of wheat. It's a monocotyledonous plant with long, slender, and flexible leaves. From the center of the leaf, a thin stem extends straight out, ending in a large, fluffy head about ten centimeters in diameter. The fluffy head is composed of numerous white pappus feathers, making it quite appealing.
Many women used scissors-like tools to deftly cut off small pom-poms, carefully placing them in straw baskets, then layering them with thick leaves to separate them before adding another pom-pom. They arranged four pom-poms per layer, making three layers in total. A straw basket wasn't large, but with proper arrangement, it could hold about ten pom-poms.
Xu Milu looked closer and found that the fluffy ball was attached to the outside of a spherical fruit. She plucked a fluffy hair and found something that looked like a fried chicken nugget underneath. She could even distinguish the breadcrumb-like things.
"Fried chicken?? Fried chicken grew out of the ground?"
Xu Milu examined the item and was surprised to find that it really was fried chicken.
【Fried Chicken Dandelion: Non-toxic, fruit is edible. Rich flavor, fried chicken taste. Catch level: Two stars.】
Not believing it, Xu Milu tried again, plucking a fluffy hair from another dandelion.
[Fried Fish Dandelion, non-toxic, edible. Delicious flavor, with a fried fish taste. Catch rating: two stars.]
[Fried Shrimp with Dandelion: Non-toxic and edible. Delicious flavor, reminiscent of fried shrimp. Catch rating: Two stars.]
[Fried pork with dandelion, non-toxic, edible. Rich flavor, typical of fried pork. Catch rating: two stars.]
...
...
Xu Milu even detected fried dandelion flavored with fried oysters, which shocked her.
Isn't this just a bunch of fried food? Growing out of the ground, is that even acceptable? Do these plants grow by drinking oil?
First, plants grew eggs; now, they're growing meat skewers?!
It even thoughtfully fried itself until it was cooked...
With so much fried food, no wonder this village is called Fried Food Village.
Under the village chief's guidance, Xu Milu excitedly chose the fuzzy one.
Just as the village chief was about to ask someone to get her a pair of scissors, he saw Xu Milu easily fold the fried chicken-flavored pom-pom with her bare hands, leaving him so astonished that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets:
"Truly worthy of being a five-star hunter, he can actually break the stem of a fried dandelion with his bare hands?!"
The stems of fried dandelions are incredibly hard, requiring special metal scissors to cut them when harvesting. However, seeing that Xu Milu could easily break them with a single snap, the village chief no longer doubted Xu Milu's identity as a hunter.
Zhihe and Zhili were amazed, wishing they could immediately go and pick a few dandelions to try. Xu Milu, seeing their astonished expressions, knew she had done something unusual again and felt slightly embarrassed.
But she didn't dwell on these things; instead, she focused intently on observing what she was holding.
The dandelion fluff is distributed very evenly, with a fried chicken piece under each fluff. The fried chicken pieces are of various shapes, and there can be about twenty pieces of fried chicken on a fluffy ball. After all the fluff is plucked, only a bare calyx and flower stalk are left.
Fried chicken dandelion can be eaten directly, but it must be consumed within 24 hours of being picked, otherwise it will cool down and lose its best flavor and texture.
Xu Milu then truly appreciated the uniqueness of the food from another world, and the village chief smiled and gestured for her to try it.
Xu Milu picked up a feather, took a bite, and felt the crispy outer skin of the fried chicken, followed by the tender texture of the chicken meat. The most peculiar thing was the perfect temperature.
Like freshly fried chicken strips, they're warm to the touch, but not scalding.
"Lady Milu, please try this fried shrimp flavor, and this fried oyster flavor..."
Zhili took out a few of what she thought were the best foods from her father's basket and handed them to Xu Milu.
The fried shrimp flavored pastries even have red shrimp tails visible at the end. Xu Milu ate them one bite at a time with great enjoyment.
Tender and juicy shrimp meat coated in just the right amount of batter, topped with a thin layer of breadcrumbs, one bite not only satisfies the taste buds but also tantalizes the teeth.
The fried oysters are coated in a thick batter and are still piping hot. When you bite into them, the soft oyster meat bursts out with juice, plump and delicate.
