“Sister An, how does it taste?”
Xu Shi swallowed her saliva, her eyes wide open, her face full of curiosity like a child.
The other girls grimaced, their mouths watering uncontrollably.
Although their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief,
it didn’t stop them from being curious.
An Youyi blinked her eyes, looking at them in confusion.
“It tastes like chicken, quite fragrant.
You ordered it but aren’t eating it. Is something wrong?”
Faced with An Youyi’s question,
the girls’ expressions stiffened.
Wow!
Wasn’t that just calling them weaklings outright?
An Youyi was the top fighter here!
But that was only in terms of combat ability.
Having been reborn,
Xu Shi didn’t want to lose face again.
“Sister An, do I just toss this little thing into my mouth?” Xu Shi picked up a water beetle with her chopsticks,
trying to follow An Youyi’s example and give it a try.
She knew An Youyi’s personality well.
To be honest,
seeing An Youyi enjoying it so much,
Xu Shi couldn’t help but feel a bit tempted.
“Wait, that’s my personal way of eating it,” An Youyi said, picking up a water beetle with her fingers, peeling off its wings, and explaining, “This is the common way to eat it. If you don’t remove the wings, it can get stuck in your teeth.
This is a Cantonese dish. Water beetles are rich in protein and seem to be quite expensive.
But if you want to eat it, just buy it.”
After her little lesson,
another crunching sound followed.
An Youyi squinted her eyes slightly, her expression seemingly very content.
Then she opened her eyes, revealing a row of neat, white teeth.
“Little Shi, if your teeth are strong and you don’t mind it sticking, you can try my earlier method.”
Xu Shi, holding the water beetle in her hand, listened to An Youyi’s explanation in stunned silence.
Then she chuckled awkwardly.
“I’ll just remove the wings before eating.”
Xu Shi took a deep breath and imitated An Youyi’s earlier method,
peeling off the wings of the water beetle.
Then she closed her eyes and popped the beetle into her mouth.
Hiss-----
Here goes nothing!
Crunch----
Spicy and salty flavor.
Crispy and crunchy.
Xu Shi’s face had almost turned green,
but the unique taste in her mouth
was telling her-----it’s absolutely delicious!
Not too salty, not too bland. Eating water beetles is such a delightful experience~
Gulp····
Xu Shi swallowed and looked at An Youyi in surprise, exclaiming happily, “Sister An, you were right. It’s really delicious~”
An Youyi nodded and continued eating in the same manner.
“If it’s good, eat more.”
Xu Shi gave an OK gesture, “Mm.”
Watching the two eat as if no one else was around,
the other four girls exchanged glances.
What’s going on?
They’re really eating it?
Little Shi, if you’re being threatened by this female assassin, just blink.
We sisters will stand up for you!
After watching for a while,
Xu Shi didn’t seem to be under any coercion.
Moreover, the two of them weren’t exchanging any secret signals.
They were genuinely enjoying the food.
The four girls sat back down.
Zhou Qiaoqiao: Is it really that good?
Yang Jingying: Are they acting? This little thing looks terrifying just by itself.
Lin An’an: Should I… give it a try, just for the sake of it?
Shen Manni: I’ll eat one. No, half. If it tastes bad, I’ll just spit it out.
The four girls had different thoughts.
Zhou Qiaoqiao was the first to pick up a water beetle, as Yang Jingying had already placed quite a few in her bowl.
She pinched it with her fingers, imitating An Youyi and Xu Shi, and peeled off the wings.
Then she brought the beetle to her nose and sniffed it.
The smell was quite normal.
A tempting roasted meat aroma.
Putting An Youyi aside,
even Xu Shi could eat it.
Why couldn’t she?
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west. Don’t underestimate a young girl!
Crunch!
Roasted chicken flavor.
Zhou Qiaoqiao was momentarily stunned.
“It’s surprisingly delicious, not at all what I imagined.”
Seeing Zhou Qiaoqiao score a triple kill,
how could Yang Jingying admit defeat?
Soon,
she also started to take action.
Her reaction was similar to the other three girls.
With the four girls leading the way,
Shen Manni and Lin An’an exchanged glances.
Then they followed suit and started eating.
While eating, An Youyi continued to educate the girls.
“Eating water beetles has many benefits. It beautifies the skin, prevents aging, and makes your skin rosy and smooth.”
An Youyi said this expressionlessly,
as if reciting from a textbook.
The girls listened in stunned silence.
Xu Shi blinked her big, sparkling eyes, her mouth forming an “O” shape. “Sister An, I just realized you know so much. Did you eat water beetles before to take care of your skin?”
An Youyi swallowed the water beetle in her mouth and shook her head. “No.”
Lin An’an: “Then why?”
An Youyi looked at the girls, who were full of questions, and replied in a calm tone.
“Because they’re delicious.”
The girls: ………
This reason was truly flawless!
After hearing about the benefits of eating water beetles earlier,
they were tempted.
After all, they were all women.
As women, they understood women’s desires well.
But this An Youyi,
they really couldn’t figure her out.
“Hey hey, that water beetle is mine. Don’t touch it.”
“Little sister, didn’t you say these little things were gross? Let me help you. What’s wrong with that?”
“Haha… You’re taking water beetles from my bowl. Aren’t you ashamed?”
“Not at all~ Don’t be so stingy. Here, have a silkworm pupa to cool you down.”
Yang Jingying and Zhou Qiaoqiao, who had refused to eat insects earlier,
couldn’t escape the “delicious” verdict!
The other girls were the same,
engaging in a fierce competition!
It was as if they hadn’t eaten in days.
By the end, they were even grabbing food from each other without caring about their image.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t afford to order more.
They just wanted to snatch food from each other’s mouths.
It was thrilling!
Under An Youyi’s leadership,
this terrifying insect feast
turned into a simple, ordinary meal.
Just dig in!
