Chapter 1051 Developing the Black Insect Slave Plan
"This black insect skin looks good, but tastes very unique and delicious."
Smith gave a positive evaluation, his eyes were bright, and he obviously liked this special delicacy very much.
Caroline calmed down and smiled: "Indeed, there is a refreshing feeling of mint, with a hint of natural sweetness."
"There are many strange customs and delicacies around the world. I have never eaten fried scorpions, but I have eaten cicada pupae once."
She took a few more slices with relish.
Now that I think about it carefully, except for my instinctive objection to the term insect.
The black insect skin itself tastes great.
Alice still disliked it, "I don't like eating bugs! It's too disgusting."
Smith looked at her with a smile, "Actually, it tastes really good and looks like potato chips, so it's not offensive at all.
"There are even more bizarre foods in the world, such as mosquito eggs, frog juice, etc."
"Oh, grandpa, please stop talking, I have no appetite anymore."
Alice glared angrily and casually plucked the fried insect skin.
"Have you ever eaten these old men?"
"Hahaha, I've eaten them all, but to be honest, they taste very ordinary and the ingredients are much more disgusting than this black insect skin."
Smith nodded, looked at the delicious food in the thermal box, and sighed with emotion, "Yagyu Village is really a magical place, it seems that the crops grown here taste better.
"By the way, what kind of insect skin is this?
I’ve never heard of it?”
"I know!"
Alice raised her hand, already guessing, and pursed her lips, "Some time ago, there was an infestation of black caterpillars here, they must be those disgusting bugs!
"Brother Huayang also built a breeding factory!"
Zhou Huayang made no secret and nodded, "Well, that's right, this insect is called 'Black Insect Slave', a special insect found in the mountains of southwestern China.
"Some people also classify them as Gu insects.
"It's just that these black insect slaves I cultivated are more spiritual. Now that the breeding factory has been built, it is estimated that more than ten million of them can be produced every week.
“Originally it was only intended to be used as livestock feed.
“However, I discovered that after removing its slightly poisonous flesh and fluff, its skin is tough and thick, and after deep-frying, its taste is very unique.
"It can be a very healthy and nutritious snack."
Zhou Huayang introduced.
Alice glanced at him and said, "Is this going to be put on the online store?
Selling nationwide?”
This girl has been in Liusheng Village for a long time and obviously knows some of Zhou Huayang's properties.
The online store in Yagyu Village has already ranked first in the entire Internet, and demand often exceeds supply.
"Yes, I'm sure it will be more popular than potato chips."
Zhou Huayang replied.
Mainly because he found that cultivating black insect slaves was far less difficult than imagined.
Black insect slaves are far more tenacious than ordinary insects.
The difficulty of cultivating them is only slightly less than that of silkworms.
The only thing needed is a large amount of high-quality grass in Xishan, and this is also the cheapest thing in Xishan.
Because of the Four Elements Earth Emperor Formation and the Qing Emperor Curse, in addition to the amazing growth of crops, the growth rate of weeds is even more terrifying.
Specialized personnel are required to remove these weeds every two days.
These weeds are of little use, and three or two villagers will transport some home to feed their cattle and sheep.
The remainder is difficult to dispose of and must be buried or burned.
But now, it can be used to feed the black insect slaves, which is a perfect way to recycle the waste.
Of course, the treatment of black insect skin is also a difficult problem.
Zhou Huayang has contacted engineers and is preparing to custom-design a set of mechanical equipment for killing black insects and processing flesh and blood.
After chatting for a while, Alice slowly accepted this unique delicacy.
Fatty'er, on his side, finally jumped down with satisfaction after eating most of Caroline's dinner.
"You guy, you ate all of Caroline's dinner!"
Zhou Huayang picked it up and gave it two heads.
"No, no, I have a small appetite, so I can't actually eat that much."
Caroline shook her head, "Are you going back?"
"Well, if you're not used to sleeping in this camp, go back to the village with Alice to sleep."
Zhou Huayang carried Pang Dun'er and walked towards the forest.
…
The next day, a temporary research institute was set up in the open space in front of Hugou Village.
A young man from Yagyu Village brought two large boxes of things, walked into the research institute, and poked his head around.
"Hello, old gentleman, Hua Yang asked me to bring this to you."
The young man took one look at the gray-haired old man in Chinese tunic suit and guessed that the other person was an academician of the Huaxia Research Institute, so he handed it over respectfully.
"Oh, Mr. Zhou already told me on the phone, thank you for your hard work, come in and sit down."
Yan Taiqing took the things politely.
"no, I'm fine."
The young man waved his hands cautiously and left.
"Lao Yan, what delicious food did Huayang bring?"
Yang Hong, who had the best friendship with Yan Taiqing, had just put on his white coat and was quite curious.
In the hall, colleagues who heard the commotion came over one after another.
You know, Zhou Huayang would provide extra meals, fruits, and fruit wine to the institute every now and then.
To a certain extent, they are more interested in the delicacies of Yagyu Village than studying the Luna Flower.
Yan Taiqing did not answer and carefully opened the two boxes.
A steaming, oily slice of food like potato chips, neatly stacked, and a special aroma of fried meat filled the hall.
The other box was filled with ice cubes, storing pieces of unfried black matter.
"Wow, it tastes so delicious. Is this marinated meat?"
"Tsk, tsk, just the taste makes my mouth water!"
"Mr. Yan, let me try a piece."
Yang Hong and others were not polite and stepped forward one after another. They did not hesitate to pick it up and taste it with their hands, and let out a burst of exclamations.
“A bit like cucumber-flavored potato chips?
It also has the chewy texture of pork skin.”
"Delicious!"
"This kid Huayang is so thoughtful, he doesn't even know what ingredients this is made of. It's very special."
"Yes, this is the first time in my entire life that I have eaten such delicious potato chips."
Everyone praised.
Yan Taiqing's eyes were strange and he was a bit joking. As he watched several people finish eating, he picked up a piece and took two bites, "It's really good!
"I should ask him to send some live black insect slaves over to show them."
"What black insect slave?"
"Oh...a kind of black caterpillar. What you are eating now is its fried skin. It is really special. This is not enough."
Yan Taiqing swallowed it slowly.
"ah?
Is this insect skin?”
"Yue..." Several younger female researchers made vomiting gestures and tried to vomit out.
The reaction of the four or five veteran academicians was relatively calm.
"Hahaha, look at each of you, this is not disgusting or poisonous, it's not like this..." Yan Taiqing shook his head, "According to what Hua Yang said, this stuff is very tonic?
!
"Huayang sent these here. In addition to sharing the newly obtained delicacies, Huayang also wanted us to analyze and identify its ingredients, and to issue a report in the name of the Huaxia Scientific Research Institute to prove the nutritional value of this food."
The persuasiveness of the appraisal report issued by the most authoritative and highest-status scientific research institution in the country is self-evident.
