Chapter 195 Mastering the Animal Language
High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods. To put it bluntly, this is the way poor people eat.
By chance, you get a piece of high-end food, but you have no recipe and can't afford the ingredients, so you can only treat it as ordinary food and steam, boil, fry or deep-fry it. Compared with ordinary ingredients, it may taste good, but it is a real waste of food.
Rich people pay attention to the fineness of their food and the delicacy of their meat.
Little did people know that the state banquet dish Yangzhou fried rice has more than ten kinds of ingredients including sea cucumber, chicken thigh, ham, scallops, shrimp, diced fresh bamboo shoots, green peas, eggs, chicken broth, chopped green onions, cooking oil and shrimp roe.
In addition, there is a dish called eggplant and fish in Dream of Red Mansions. It takes ten chickens to make one eggplant, which has a unique taste.
Peel the freshly harvested eggplants, remove the flesh, cut into small pieces, and fry them in chicken oil. Then use chicken breast, fragrant mushrooms, new bamboo shoots, mushrooms, five-spice dried tofu, and various dried fruits, all cut into cubes, and simmer them in chicken broth until dry. Collect the sesame oil and add fermented rice wine, mix them together, put them in a porcelain jar and seal it tightly. Take them out when you want to eat and mix them with the fried chicken and melon.
High-end ingredients require more careful preparation.
If you told me that a mantis's front claws are as thick as an arm, no one on earth would believe it.
The color is rosy, the muscles are firm, the texture is fine, and it emits a faint halo.
Just looking at it makes people salivate. The high-quality Huadiao wine brings out the fragrance, and in an instant, the fragrance fills the air.
Downstairs, the dog who was still waiting for Grandpa Liu sniffed in ecstasy.
"Meat, it tastes like meat."
Shen Jiaxin and Shen Yunxi stopped studying the ginkgo leaves and sat obediently at the dining table, waiting to be fed.
The cups and plates were in a mess, and people were full of food and wine. Two people, one big and one small, were fighting for food. Shen Jiaxin couldn't be elegant at all.
Elegance means less food can be eaten.
“I’m so full!”
Shen Yunxi touched her belly and said with a satisfied look on her face.
"I'm going to compile a food ranking list, and mantis claw is currently ranked first."
Shen Jiaxin set another goal for herself.
"The Buckler Mantis is such a great monster. It's here to bring warmth to the community."
"We can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor. We need to store more before others find out."
A silent night to recharge your energy.
On the second day, Zhao Huan felt full of energy and seemed to have endless strength.
I did 500 push-ups in the living room in one breath, and my arms didn't feel sore at all.
"Is this the legendary saying, 'You are what you eat, you gain what you need'?"
Zhao Huan muttered.
Wearing the same tattered clothes from yesterday, Zhao Huan took protective measures, put on his backpack, fixed the camera, and went out with a long alloy stick.
Shen Jiaxin was analyzing the data transmitted back in front of the computer and providing technical support.
Shen Yunxi stared at the map of King Wen's courtyard in front of the TV. If there was a large-scale riot at the red dot on the ginkgo tree, she would notify Zhao Huan to run away quickly.
The environment outside the apartment building is changing all the time. From Zhao Huan's perspective, the ginkgo tree is taller than before. Zhao Huan feels that the height may have exceeded 80 meters.
When Zhao Huan was picking ginkgo leaves yesterday, he only climbed ten meters when a branch appeared on the main trunk.
Today, it has doubled, with the first branch appearing at a height of about 20 meters.
Time waits for no one!
Zhao Huan did not go forward directly. He rushed forward without knowing the situation. This was not bravery, but courting death.
Zhao Huan took out a drone from his backpack, then hid in the corner and operated the drone to fly towards the ginkgo tree.
The drone flew along the ground and slowly took off when it got close to the ginkgo tree.
At a height of more than 20 meters, the drone slowly explored along the direction of the branch, looking for the ginkgo fruit it saw yesterday, while also keeping an eye out for the mantis monster that might appear at any time.
Fist-sized fruits were faintly visible among the leaves, and Zhao Huan flew the drone closer.
A pair of shiny scissors with a net bag attached stretched out from the bottom of the drone, and it swayed towards the ginkgo fruit.
As expected, the sharp sickle-like claws grabbed the drone.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Huan turned off the power, and the drone fell straight down, barely avoiding the claw attack.
The mantis flapped its wings and swooped down towards the falling drone. The scene was so familiar.
When approaching the ground, Zhao Huan turned on the power of the drone and operated it to fly close to the ground.
The mantis was unable to change direction in time and slid forward for several meters before stopping.
The mantis turned around, stared at the drone in front of it, and waved its claws angrily.
A cross-shaped wind blade slashed towards the drone at an incredible speed.
Zhao Huan hurriedly operated the drone to dodge, but he was still a step too late. He was cut into two pieces by the wind blade and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
"Oh my god, I'm lucky I didn't act rashly, otherwise I would have been cut into pieces." Zhao Huan touched his chest in fear.
The mantis walked towards the drone with a proud stride.
The mantis used its sickle to scrape at the drone fragments a few times, lowered its head and took a closer look at the metal lump, wondering why it could fly around.
Poor drone, let’s make use of its remaining heat.
Zhao Huan pressed the self-destruct button and muttered to himself.
The emergency was surrounded by smoke.
A cloud of white smoke gushed out from the shattered drone, a large smoke bomb covering an area of five meters in radius.
I was caught off guard and blinded!
Taking advantage of the mantis's distraction, Zhao Huan rushed into the smoke with a long alloy stick.
