Chapter 97 Zerg Feast
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinyan glanced at the handsome man who had spoken. If she wasn't mistaken, he was likely in the military, and probably held a high-ranking position. She then explained:
"Apart from the toxin sac in its brain, the rest of this black beetle is edible, so I'd like to try what it tastes like."
After all, it wasn't this big back on Earth! And that multi-clawed worm, although it's covered in toxins, it's excellent material for refining weapons!
"What? This...this Black Beetle Clan is edible? No way?"
"Yeah, how can you eat these Zerg? They're so ugly, won't they get poisoned?"
"How scary! It doesn't look like something you could eat! And what is weapon forging?"
"You're asking me? How would I know? But Boss Gu is a good cook, maybe this black beetle will actually turn out edible!"
"Although...but...I would never dare to eat Zerg! They look terrifying!"
As soon as Gu Xinyan finished speaking, whispers arose all around.
Major General Hize was also surprised that she actually wanted to use the Zerg to eat. Did people in ancient times have such strong tastes?
Although he didn't quite believe it, he was willing to let her try, because he was also curious about what kind of food the insectoids would make. Was this some kind of weapon forging? He couldn't quite understand it.
"Boss Gu, can these black beetles be made into food? And what about weapon crafting? Does that mean these multi-clawed beetles can be used as research materials? But the claws of these multi-clawed beetles can indeed be used as a material for weapons."
"Yes, it's similar to what you described, except that weapon forging is a technique unique to other planes."
But we won't see them now. Perhaps we'll have the chance to meet them in the future. As for the black beetle tribe, how about we have them for lunch?
It's a good opportunity for everyone to try them. In our hometown, this creature has another name: crab.
There are many ways to eat it, and it's delicious in every way. It's just that here it's grown many times larger. Perfect timing to try the giant crabs here at lunchtime!
Gu Xinyan was somewhat excited. Although she didn't know how to forge weapons yet, making spicy crabs and the like was a piece of cake for her.
Upon hearing this, Major General Hize hesitated for a moment, but after the person in front of him mentioned that this had been a type of ingredient in the past, he nodded in agreement.
"Alright, then we'll have to trouble you, Mr. Gu. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything from us."
"Yes, I do. I'm planning to steam a big crab and stir-fry some spicy crab for lunch. I'll probably need your people to clean all the crabs thoroughly, making sure to get every nook and cranny clean."
Also, be very careful when removing the toxin sac from its brain; do not rupture it. Then, leave one for steaming.
The rest need to be chopped up into small pieces. If you're steaming them, you'll need a large pot—big enough to hold the whole crab.
Gu Xinyan didn't stand on ceremony and stated her request as soon as he finished speaking, since there were so many people around and they didn't need to do anything themselves.
Before Major General Hize could speak, Lieutenant General Mokri hurriedly nodded in agreement:
"Boss Gu, don't worry, leave these black beetles to us! We'll clean them thoroughly for you. And that big pot, I'll have someone make it for you too."
After saying that, they rushed towards the spaceship parked not far away. They brought two squads of soldiers with them this time.
They were in a hurry, so they came down first. The soldiers are still on the spaceship, so it's a good time to hand over these tasks to those guys.
He was really looking forward to the Black Beetle Clan feast at noon, especially after learning on the way here that Boss Gu and his group came from the ancient Blue Star.
He blindly idolized this person; this was only the second person he admired, the first being his major general.
He planned to wait until all these instructions were given before he had time to visit that magical shop.
Yesterday, while watching the news on Xingwang, I heard that his younger sister was calling his phone number non-stop, constantly asking him to buy her candy, chips, and drinks when he arrived.
Seriously! This glutton! He hasn't even had a bite yet! But if he doesn't agree, he'll probably get a beating from his parents when he goes home on his next vacation. For the sake of his life, he'd better behave!
Watching his hurried figure disappear into the distance, Major General Hize was somewhat speechless. Why was his deputy so active today? Oh well, since he's gone, he might as well go shopping!
"Boss Gu, if you want these multi-clawed insects, take them all. There are a lot of these insects, and they are all very prolific."
They reproduce very quickly, so you can take them if you want! I'll go check out your shop first!" Major General Hize said, and then strode towards the shop.
Seeing this, the group of academicians behind him also followed suit.
Gu Xinyan watched their departing figures and then prepared to go forward to collect the multi-clawed insects. After these things were put into her spatial backpack, they were automatically allocated to a certain location.
After collecting all the multi-clawed insectoids, they watched with great interest as the soldiers cleaned up the black beetle tribe, and the students also rushed over to help.
With many hands making light work, the black beetle tribe was quickly cleaned up, leaving only one whole beetle untouched while the rest were cut into small pieces.
The pot for steaming the Black Beetles was now ready and was being set up on the grass not far from the shop.
Gu Xinyan circled the pot with satisfaction. She had to admit, this interstellar space station was pretty good in this respect; whatever she wanted could be made on the spot.
These people are surprisingly good at using their hands. If we could just bring one of them back, I'm sure those academicians would be jumping for joy.
That's what I think, but I also know it's unlikely. Oh well, I should just focus on what's in front of me.
"Lieutenant General Mokri, please have someone place this whole black beetle in this pot, and then have someone keep an eye on the fire. This black beetle is quite large, so it needs to steam for a while. I'll let you know when it's ready to come out of the pot!"
“Okay!” Mokri nodded in agreement.
After steaming the entire black beetle, Gu Xinyan set up four more large pots next to it, with her and Gu Xinya each taking charge of two.
First, the processed crab pieces are coated with starch on each cross-section to prevent the crab roe from being lost.
Then marinate the crab pieces in white wine for 10 minutes. This step is also to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor.
