Aslan pointed to the remaining five or six locust trunks and said casually: "Try to see if you can refine these locust trunks into nutrient solution."
Nicol suddenly nodded excitedly and picked up the locust body on the ground.
Nutrient solution is a topic assigned to him by Aslan. The purpose is to use various materials to refine a suitable food liquid that can quickly replenish energy and at the same time supplement the vitamins needed by the human body.
As for the taste, it is not in Nigel's consideration. He just needs to figure it out. As for the taste, there will naturally be a dedicated person in charge of it.
This nutrient solution will become one of the main foods in the army in the future. In today's army, in addition to the three daily meals, military compressed biscuits have become standing supplies. Almost every soldier has a backpack similar to the one on the back of his armor.
This backpack contains compressed biscuits that can be consumed by normal soldiers for three days, making it easy to use in emergencies.
If given a nutrient-rich nutrient solution, it might be able to greatly increase the soldier's combat effectiveness.
After all, the human body cannot absorb enough vitamins and salts for a long time, which can easily lead to various diseases.
Aslan peeled off the skin of the locust's thick hind limbs to reveal the almost snow-white flesh inside, sprinkled it with bread crumbs, and threw it directly into the oil pan to fry.
In no time, it will be fried to a golden color and crispy, with a fragrant aroma.
Nomeli and Cu Chulainn came back just at this time. Aslan asked Veretta to move out the mobile folding table and chairs. She looked like she was ready to eat. However, Veretta's expression was ashen for a while, as if she had seen something.
Something incredible.
After Cu Chulainn bowed very politely, he sat down at Aslan's signal and looked at the golden and crispy locust hind legs, his eyes shining.
Aslan is a famous gourmet in Merlo City. Nowadays, almost 90% of the delicacies and snacks in Merlo City are made by Aslan.
Even Mordred once said.
"Lord! Even if he does nothing in this life, he can conquer the continent with this delicious food."
Although this statement is exaggerated, it simply proves Aslan's cooking skills.
As expected, as soon as the fried locust legs were served, Mordred and Artoria almost took the time to come over.
As soon as he saw the golden and crispy locust legs on the table, Mordred said in surprise: "Brother-in-law, what delicious food have you prepared? Are you going to eat alone?"
Aslan simply rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Eat if you like, but go away if you don't."
Mordred smiled apologetically, quickly stretched out his claws, grabbed one of the locust legs, and started chewing it.
One bite, it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and has an indescribable sweetness.
"Wow! What kind of meat is this? It's so delicious." Mordred ate the locust legs in his hands cleanly.
When he was about to reach out again, Aslan knocked it away with his chopsticks.
"One for each person, wouldn't it be enough if you just wait for one more?" Aslan said angrily.
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
When tasting food, Aslan likes to invite a large group of people to taste it together. As long as they taste the food, there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority, and they are completely evaluated as gourmets.
After a while, Arthur and Gawain also came over. After seeing the group of people here, Wu Lusi also quickly pulled his daughter-in-law Lanya over, and soon the locust legs were separated completely.
Because the quantity was small, when Diego arrived after hearing the news, he had no share, which made him stomp his feet in anger.
"Lord, please do a little more and let me have a taste!" Diego knelt down directly on one knee, hugged Aslan's thigh and begged.
Aslan said with a helpless look.
"It's not that I don't want to cook it, it's that I don't have the ingredients."
As soon as these words came out, Diego immediately jumped up and shouted loudly.
"Whatever ingredients you need, I'll take people to get them for you right away."
Others also followed suit, because they had just eaten it, and it was really delicious. Mordred noticed that the locust legs in Veretta's hands did not seem to have moved, so he let go of them with both eyes.
Grabbed it.
In the past, Veretta would definitely rush over and fight Mordred, but this time, Veretta didn't react for a long time. Even if Mordred ate it all, there was no movement at all.
"Villetta, what's wrong with you? Are you angry?" Mordred asked curiously.
Others also looked at Veretta, and Cu Chulainn asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Veretta shook her head and said with a strange expression: "Do you know what you just ate?"
Many people shook their heads subconsciously, and Veretta pointed to the remaining head next to them.
"What you are eating is the hindquarters of that one."
Following Veretta's fingers, they saw that there were many yellow limbs on the ground. They were not thick, only about the thickness of a thumb. They couldn't see it for a while, but when they saw the locust's head
, suddenly the collective felt dizzy.
What did they see?
Locust's head.
Diego squatted on the ground and picked up the front and middle feet from the ground, and said thoughtfully: "Lord, I remember that locusts seem to be poisonous!"
Aslan nodded and said: "Yes, locusts secrete a substance called cyanide when they live in groups. After decomposition, they produce hydrocyanic acid, which is a highly toxic substance. However, if it is cooked at high temperature, it can be decomposed
If you eat this kind of cyanide raw, even with your constitution, you won’t be able to eat much before you die.”
Diego's eyes suddenly lit up, he picked up the front and middle feet from the ground, and asked expectantly.
"Lord! I see that there is still a lot of meat in these hands, feet, and I would like to make some more to taste."
As soon as Diego said this, he was immediately echoed by many late comers.
Veretta looked at everyone with a look of disbelief.
No one feels disgusted at all.
Mordred also shouted excitedly.
Veretta quickly grabbed Mordred, because both of them were masters of the great swordsman level and had legendary weapons given by Aslan, so they often competed with each other, because ordinary weapons were simply not enough for the two of them to chop a few times.
As time goes by, no one is willing to compete with them. People with legendary weapons are either much higher than them, or have higher strength and have no motivation to challenge at all.
Over time, the two became very good friends.
"I know what you are worried about? But it is really delicious. Let me tell you, as long as you eat it, you will definitely want to eat it again. Tomorrow I will go to the border to catch locusts together." Mordred looked excited.
said.
Veretta pushed Mordred's greasy hands away with a look of disgust, and said dissatisfiedly: "If you want to go, you can go alone, I won't go."
