When he saw Brother Jiang Jin again, Green's eyes clearly shone with joy and excitement.

To be honest, with Green's character, it is simply unbelievable that he could wait three months without taking the initiative to find Jiang Jin.

Even if Jiang Jin didn't come to him, he should have searched the world for traces of this young chef long ago.

But the reason why Green never did this is because... the big boss wouldn't let him.

Yes, the big leader, "Silver Candle Divine Envoy" Catherine specially issued a restraining order to Green alone, not allowing him to take the initiative to find Jiang Jin.

"This? Big boss? Why do you want to issue such a prohibition order against me alone?"

"There is no reason, you just do it anyway, understand?"

When stared at by Catherine's stern eyes, Green's usually sharp-tongued tongue was completely useless.

As we all know, Green is most afraid of the big boss, and his fear is no less than that of mice who are afraid of cats.

After all, there are rumors that Green was beaten up by the big boss and then dragged into the Night Watch by his collar.

Because of this, Green could even refuse to give face to the second "Mahatma" Kusa, but he didn't dare to show off in front of the big leader.

Now that the big boss has given him a restraining order, what else can Green do?

He could only act like a naughty kid who was strictly prohibited from approaching a female classmate by his teacher, and left while sulking.

On the way out, Green said to himself: "That bastard, the big leader, doesn't he want to dominate Jiang Jin alone?"

Damn it, that old witch must have wanted to do something shameless to Jiang Jin because he was good at cooking and handsome.

Thinking of the old witch doing this to Brother Jiang Jin, Green couldn't help but almost broke his teeth.

But after waiting so melancholy for a few months, his unexpected call really came!

Under the moonlit night, Jiang Jin's voice penetrated the distant strait and resounded directly in Green's mind.

And he immediately ran towards this side at a fast speed, with a scalp-numbing smile on his face.

No, calm down, calm down, I have to be calm.

In order not to scare Brother Jiang Jin, Green sat elegantly on the chair and said with a smile:

"Brother Jiang Jin, long time no see. How have you been lately?"

Although he tried to keep his tone restrained, the excitement could still be clearly heard.

Jiang Jin didn't care much about his thoughts and smiled the same way:

"Because I recently came to Blackwater Port for work, I suddenly thought that Brother Green, you seemed to be nearby, so I asked you to come out for a gathering. I won't disturb you, right?"

"Of course not. I happen to be bored lately, so it would be nice to have someone to chat with."

Green took a deep breath, looked at the food box on the table, and grinned:

"And you didn't just come to see me, but you also brought some delicious food?"

This is not Green's boast, his nose has always been very good and he can smell the smell of various ingredients from a long distance.

But what surprised him was that the smell wafting out of the food box was very... very strange, and he couldn't tell what it was at all.

The smell smelled somewhat like seafood, with a strong umami flavor, but it was completely different from ordinary fish, shrimps, crabs or clams. It was not difficult to tell that it was something new that he had never tried before.

Green is absolutely confident in Jiang Jin's craftsmanship, so he can't wait to try the delicious food inside.

Seeing his anxious look, Jiang Jin also smiled slightly, took the initiative to open the food box and said:

"Yes, since we are inviting people to come over for a gathering, we naturally have to prepare something to entertain you... Come on, please."

After the food box was opened, Jiang Jin took out a large plate that was filled slowly and placed it between the two of them.

But after seeing the food placed on the big plate, Green showed a confused look.

There are many semi-circular balls on the plate that are crystal clear, amber in color, and very soft at first glance.

These strange little balls do look a little cute, but they don't look like food at all. They look more like some kind of gray gems or crystals.

This...what is this? Crystal? Jewelry? It looks soft?

For Green, who has tasted all kinds of delicacies in the world, this semi-circular translucent ball on the plate is definitely something he has never seen before.

The strangest thing is that these small balls seem to be wrapped with some small roots, something like some kind of slender branches.

If Jiang Jin hadn't brought it out, Green would have doubted whether it was edible.

But considering Jiang Jin's extraordinary skills in making "Mimetic Egg Fried Rice" before, he couldn't help but start looking forward to this little thing.

"Brother Jiang Jin, what is this? It looks like some kind of dessert?"

"Haha, it's not a dessert. This thing should be eaten with sauce. It's a cold appetizer."

Under Green's curious gaze, Jiang Jin picked up a fork, picked up a small ball, dipped it in the dipping saucer next to it, and then threw it directly into his mouth.

"Hmm... Not bad, the 'soil bamboo shoot jelly' was done very well today."

While he was eating something crunchy in his mouth, he showed a satisfied expression and looked like he was enjoying it very much.

Since Jiang Jin has already taken the lead in enjoying it, Green naturally has nothing he dares not eat.

So the Dark Erosion Emperor followed Jiang Jin's example and picked up a small ball with a fork, dipped it in the sauce and threw the whole ball into his mouth.

As soon as the semicircular ball entered the mouth, Green couldn't help but widen his eyes.

What kind of strange texture is this? The ball is soft, smooth, and very elastic. When you bite it with your teeth, it brings a crisp texture, like some soups or smoothies that bloom quickly in your mouth.

After melting, the things inside that look like small twigs are even crispier when bitten, and can even make a crunching sound, and are accompanied by a sweet and sour aroma.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The fresh aroma should come from the resin of this small root, and the appetizing sourness and mild spiciness come from the sauce that is eaten with it. The two combine seamlessly and taste wonderful.

Of course, compared to the taste, the most fascinating thing about this appetizer called "Jeopard Bamboo Shoots" is its peculiar texture.

The translucent jelly balls wrapped on the outside are smooth and bouncy when bitten, and the small branches inside are even more delicate and bouncy.

Even if this dish has no taste, the texture alone is enough to make you addicted.

"Not bad...yes, this cold dish is quite interesting."

After eating several pills quickly, Green stuck out his tongue and licked his charming lips, smiling:

"As expected of brother Jiang Jin, but I have never heard of this vegetable called 'earth bamboo shoots'. Did you find it from some place that is rare among people?"

Green is already familiar with most of the ingredients in the world, so he believes that this special plant called "earth bamboo shoots" should be a secret that Jiang Jin got from nowhere.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jin shook his head and shrugged: "It's not that exaggerated. These things are everywhere on the beach not far away."

"Huh? They are everywhere on the beach? Where are they? If such delicious vegetables could grow on the beach, I would have eaten them every day."

"It's true that they don't grow on the beach. To be more precise, they grow on the lower layer of the sand. Moreover, these 'earth bamboo shoots' are not a kind of vegetable. They should be regarded as a kind of seafood."

"Seafood? What seafood? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"It's normal if you haven't heard of it before, because the scientific name of this thing is...'checkered starworm'."

...Huh?

The moment he heard the words "checkered star worm", Green's action of picking up a bamboo shoot and throwing it into his mouth suddenly stopped.

Although Green is not sure what "checkered star" means, he is not stupid. Just by hearing the word "worm" at the end, he knows what it is.

Wait? Checkered starworm? Bug? Could it be that the little things that look like "twigs" in these bamboo shoot jelly are...

Immediately, Green used a fork to pry open the crystal clear crystal jelly, and indeed he picked out a small white insect from inside!

The body of this insect is long and cylindrical, much like a slender intestine. It is naked and hairless, and its outer skin forms a strange square grid pattern. Although it does not look ugly, it is definitely not good-looking.

That's right, the main ingredient Jiang Jin used to entertain Green today was bugs, a type of bug that grows under the beach.

The scientific name of this insect is "Checker Starworm", which is an annelid of the genus Checkerstellidae in the order Starworms.

They are affectionately called "sandworms" by fishermen on the beach because of their ability to emerge during high tide and lurk in sand and mud holes during low tide.

From a medical point of view, the whole sandworm can be used as medicine. It has the effects of clearing the lungs, relieving coughs, strengthening the spleen, nourishing yin and reducing fire. It is a very good medicinal material.

But compared to its medical value, the most surprising thing about sandworms is that they taste very delicious and are a rare ingredient that can only be found in the southern coastal areas.

Although it may seem a bit strange to say that you want to eat bugs, most people may lose their appetite.

But as long as you try it once, you will know that eating sandworms actually does not have the disgusting feeling that insects give people. It is more like pig farms, goose intestines, and chicken intestines that are crisper and more delicious.

Moreover, sandworms are rich in colloids. After being boiled, the colloids melt into the water, and after cooling, they will naturally form into a jelly-like shape, which is the "soil bamboo shoot jelly" that Jiang Jin takes out to entertain Green.

The well-cooked "earth bamboo shoot jelly" tastes without any peculiar smell or fishy smell, leaving only a luxurious bite.

Coupled with ginger ash and secret seasonings prepared with aged vinegar, mustard, soy sauce, etc., both the texture and taste are the best among the best.

Even a gourmet like Green, who has eaten all kinds of delicacies in the world, quickly became addicted to this new taste enjoyment.

After listening to Jiang Jin explain the origin of this "soil bamboo shoot jelly", Green also said in an admiring tone:

"I see... Are those little bugs that no one cares about under the beach actually such a special delicacy? How did you find out that they are edible?"

"It's not like I discovered it, I just summed it up based on previous experience. What do you think? Do you think this dish is good?"

"Nonsense." Green curled his lips, pulled the plate in front of him, picked up two bamboo shoots, dipped them in the sauce and threw them into his mouth at the same time, biting and laughing:
