Mobaka was well-prepared; the insects were even delivered alive.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
"Squeak!"
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
The sturdy white giant worm wriggled restlessly in Xu Milu's hand. Its body was as white as jade, and its skin was so thin that it was almost translucent, giving it a strange and peculiar beauty.
To be honest, Xu Milu felt that this thing was more like a pet than food.
Although she believed in respecting the ingredients, these insects in front of her didn't look like edible at all.
"This insect is very sensible. It knows that one or two are not enough to eat, so it has grown so much meat. If all insects in the mountains were like this, I wonder how many birds could be saved from starving to death."
Aqing had been drooling over these fat worms for a long time. As soon as Xu Milu said they were edible, she immediately grabbed one of them, put it to her mouth, and took a big bite.
"Cough!"
Juice was spilling out, and the sound was like gnawing on a white radish, but the green juice made people hesitant to eat it.
Aqing handed the half-eaten worm to Xu Milu:
"It's delicious! It tastes like snake meat, no, more like a fattier quail. There's absolutely no fishy smell! Want to try some?"
Bai Tuan'er's eyes lit up when she saw the nut worm, and she asked Xu Milu for one and ate it raw.
The poor nut worm tried to fight back, but the white ball of fury bit off its head.
A pretty fourteen-year-old girl, her face as delicate and pink as a dumpling, was holding a worm bigger than her face. When she opened her mouth—
The scene was too horrifying for Xu Milu to bear watching any longer.
She was very touched, but then decisively declined her friend's offer: "No, no, you two should keep it for yourselves—"
Eating insects is fine; fried grasshoppers and fried bamboo worms taste quite good, even raw...
She can't accept it.
It's said that insects are part of a mouse's diet, right?
As for the "flowers" sent by Mobaka...
Xu Milu was exasperated by the several octopus-shaped flowers, each about half a person's height, that would cover their heads whenever they saw someone and would occasionally wriggle and spit out slime.
Why are the flowers of Lafa so Cthulhu-like?
Mobaka noted that this plant can survive in water, and its "flowering period" is about thirty days.
After this time, these "flowers" will spontaneously combust, making a sound similar to a scream. They are quite interesting and highly ornamental flowers, and are very popular on Lafa.
Extremely visually appealing?
When customers enter the store and see this dark, writhing, and squeaking thing, they'll just drop their sanity, right?
Xu Milu tore off the octopus sticker on her face without expression, thus figuring out her new friend's preferences.
She planned to use the remaining ingredients, specifically the brain berries, to make roasted pig brain.
The pig brains are slowly roasted in aluminum foil over low heat, with garlic, ginger slices, chili peppers, and scallions added, along with a spicy sauce. The soft and refreshing pig brains, with the aroma of oil bursting out under high heat, are simply wonderful.
These strange berries can randomly change your skin color if you eat them. They taste mediocre, but they can be used for pranks.
The syrup's texture was indeed as unique as Mobaka had described; it tasted a lot like honey with blueberry jam.
The moment you drink it, your throat will make a "crackling" sound, like you've swallowed a mouthful of popping candy with the effect magnified ten times.
By my calculations, the lotus roots in Nezha's palace will be ripe soon. I'll go "rob" them then and make sweet osmanthus lotus root when I get back.
In a few days, once her spaceship is completed, Xu Milu plans to give Mobaka a box of ingredients from Honghe Farm as a gift—she's quite interested in her new friend's brain ranch.
As for those few eye-catching live flowers, Xu Milu didn't waste her friend's good intentions. She went to the storeroom, found a white porcelain vase taller than a person, arranged the flowers, and placed it at the door.
"whisper--"
"whisper……"
"whisper……"
Countless octopus tentacles writhed simultaneously, emitting strange, unintelligible noises. From a distance, it looked like a thousand-legged octopus had been upside down in a vase.
Xu Milu stared at the unique "flower arrangement" for a while, but still couldn't grasp the "aesthetics" that Mobaka had mentioned.
It turns out that there really are differences in aesthetics between different aliens.
...
...
Soon, the box of Lafa Star specialties was processed. Apart from the two that Xu Milu kept for breeding, the rest of the nut worms ended up in Bai Tuan'er and A Qing's mouths.
Even Dai Zi was enjoying a bowl of magical syrup with great relish, her chubby little face full of satisfaction.
"My wife!!! How could you two cheat on me?!"
Mo Xuan smelled the fragrance as soon as he entered the door, and his once handsome face was now filled with grievance:
"The little demon has gone to great lengths for his wife, braving the fierce winds to go to the cold and gloomy underworld. That's fine enough."
Working in the shop, I can't even get enough mutton to eat, and now my wife is cheating on me with another man...
"Enough, enough, it was only because I, a lowly demon, was unworthy to question my wife..."
"Get lost! You're a dragon with thick skin and tough flesh. I don't believe the fierce winds on the road to the underworld can do anything to you. It's as if I've done something heinous."
Xu Milu laughed and scolded:
"There are lamb trotters cooking in the pot. Go eat them if you're hungry. Stop making a fuss here. These ingredients still need to be processed. Do you expect to eat insects like Ah Qing and the others?"
"Hehe, what's there to be afraid of eating insects? These creatures that swim in the water and fly in the sky, apart from those that are inedible, I've eaten everything. Even when I was little, I found and ate loaches in the water."
Mo Xuan chuckled a few times, took something out of his pocket, and before Xu Milu could see it clearly, he was covered in live flowers from the large vase.
