Seeing the four of them all looking at him questioningly, Bagnell laughed: "I specifically asked someone to inquire about the news, knowing that the midterm exam you are going to take is over today.

In order to prevent you from forgetting me, I just wanted to come here and wait, but when I got there, I saw you.

Does this count as the fate of thousands of miles to meet you as the ancient Chinese saying goes?"

Confucius and Mencius couldn't help sweating.

Many people have said that Chinese is much harder to learn than English.

Confucius and Mencius didn't believe it all the time. He felt that English was also very difficult.

It seems that I still underestimated the profoundness of Chinese.

He laughed and said, "You must invite guests, but you are not inviting us, but we are inviting you.

Mr. Bagnell welcomes you to visit Qingshan County. Later I invite you to taste the most authentic Thousand Insect Feast here."

"A Thousand Insect Banquet? What is that?" Bagnell had obviously never heard of this.

Confucius and Mencius smiled and said, "It's a banquet made up entirely of insects."

Bagnell asked: "Insects, are you talking about locusts? No problem. Although many people don't like to eat this kind of insects, I think it tastes good."

"Really? Yes, as long as you like it!" Kong and Meng turned his head to look at the three people.

Both the stone and the iron cow said that it didn't matter. They grew up in the mountains, and they had seen many snakes, insects and ants.

In particular, Yunxi Village lacks food and clothing for most of the year due to its geographical environment.

Sometimes I'm so hungry that everything can fit in my stomach.

Only Hu Die's face was a little pale, but after looking at Bagnell, the little girl still said nothing.

After unifying opinions, Confucius and Mencius began to lead the way.

He also just heard about the Thousand Insect Banquet.

It was talked about while listening to two local people chatting while waiting for the three students to take the exam.

Confucius and Mencius asked a few curiously. The two locals were very enthusiastic.

Not only introduced him to all kinds of dishes in the Thousand Insect Banquet, but even the price of the dishes at the restaurant was said to be seven or eight.

Soon, the five Confucius and Mencius stood at the door of a chicly decorated restaurant.

Seeing five people, a young girl came over with a smile: "How many want to taste our thousand insect feast? Please come in, there are private rooms upstairs."

Confucius and Mencius nodded, and the group of people sat down on their seats. Confucius and Mencius handed the menu to Bagnell: "Mr. Ba, please order what you want. You are welcome."

Who knows Bagnell waved his hand: "There is an old saying in China called "Ke Ran Zhu Ran," and I don't particularly understand your local customs, so you decide what to eat."

Confucius and Mencius looked at the three students again, and they all shook their heads at the same time.

Although they are locals, this is the first time they have come to such a high-end restaurant, and they know no more than Bagnard.

That's right, Confucius and Mencius had to go through the menu by himself, and then pointed to the picture above and said, "This, this, this, and this... That's all for now. If you need to add dishes, we will notify you separately."

The waiter remembered the dishes Confucius and Mencius said, and served them tea before leaving with a smile.

While waiting, Confucius and Mencius chatted with Bagnell: "Mr. Ba, I wonder if you have come to Qingshan County in the past few days. What is your impression of here?"

Bagnell immediately gave a thumbs up: "It is very nice, with mountains and rivers, simple folk customs, and beautiful scenery."

After he finished speaking, he said profoundly: "If possible, I would like to settle here."

Settle here?

Hearing this, Confucius and Mencius was taken aback, because from Bagnell's expression, he could hear the other party's sincerity.

He couldn't help being a little strange.

As a county seat, although conditions in Qingshan County are much better than those in Yunxi Village, in China, it still belongs to the poorest echelon in the county seat.

If Bagnell was just a small middle class with a small amount of money, it might still be possible, but Confucius and Mencius could judge the origin of the other party from his clothes and manners.

Not to mention, the watch on his wrist alone is enough to change several suites here.

Of course, although strange in his heart, Confucius and Mencius would not question it.

"It is indeed a good idea to settle here. Although the infrastructure here is not comparable to that of a big city, it is a rare natural and pollution-free one.

If you can live here for a few years, your body and soul will be washed...

Be careful……

Mr. Bagnell, what's wrong with you?Has it been scalded?"

It turned out that Confucius and Mencius was talking, but Miss Bagnell's hand suddenly shook, and a bowl of hot tea was spilled on the table.

"Oh, it's okay, maybe the water is a bit hot, I have no defense."

"That's it, you're fine!"

Confucius and Mencius said with relief, but he always felt that the other's eyes were a little dodging.

At this time someone knocked on the door, and after Confucius and Mencius said please come in, the waiter came over with a plate.

The plate was gently placed on the table, and the five people looked at the contents of the plate at the same time.

When they saw what was on the plate at the same time, they couldn't help but scalp.

This is a plate of white worms, which is made by hot frying.

Although it has been fried, it is not difficult to see the weirdness and hideousness of this insect.

The waiter next to me introduced: "Sirs, this is the fried bamboo worm you ordered.

Bamboo insects live on bamboo forests, feed on bamboo leaves, and use bamboo tubes as home. They are standard bamboo parasites.

Don't look at the strange appearance of this kind of insect, but because it has been dealing with bamboo forest since its birth, it has a fragrance of bamboo leaves.

Most bamboo worms live in the third to fifth bamboo joints from the ground.

There are also very few people who like to make their homes in the bamboo shoots.

The bamboo worms we choose all grow on the bamboo shoots, and they are all close to adult bamboo worms.

Growing on bamboo shoots, these bamboo insects can absorb the fragrance of bamboo leaves to the greatest extent.

The bamboo insects that are close to adult can maintain a good taste to the greatest extent, and they are the rarest quality bamboo insects.

Please taste!"

Confucius and Meng quietly listened to the waiter.

He knows that in order to establish a brand, the waiter's words are hugely exaggerated, especially the last two sentences, which are simply fooling.

However, he did not open it face to face, this set of rhetoric very well demonstrated the traditional culture of China.

Especially in front of Bagnell, the veteran, he greatly improved China's compulsion.

He smiled and said: "Mr. Ba, please taste it first. In our country, especially in the south, bamboo insects are no worse than cordyceps in the hearts of the people."

"Really? Then I have to taste it."

Bagner laughed, then picked up his chopsticks and caught two bamboo worms, closing his eyes and stuffing them all in his mouth.

While chewing, he nodded: "Well, not bad, it tastes great."

Seeing that Bagnell was very satisfied, Confucius and Mencius also laughed: "You like it!"

Then he looked at the stone three: "You can eat whatever you are doing!"

The three of them nodded quickly, and then took up their chopsticks.

Huhhhh...

A large plate of bamboo worms, half down in an instant.

Especially iron cows, what they eat is called a fierce one.

While eating, he said: "It's delicious. We used to simply grill the insects before catching them. The fried ones are more fragrant than the fired ones."

Stone also followed: "What's rare is that each of these bugs are golden and bright, and we roast them ourselves. It's either unfamiliar or mushy. It's useless to think of anything."

Confucius and Mencius suddenly laughed when he heard Stone's words: "What does it mean to think anything is useless?

Let me test you now. If you were to be the chef of this restaurant, what method would you use to ensure that the bamboo worms were just right?"

Shishi was taken aback: "How can we ensure that the bamboo insects that are blown out are just right?

Doesn't this require the chef to have superb skills?

The village chief worked as a chef when he was young. According to him, it takes at least three years of practice to cook a dish.

However, I am smarter than him. I have practiced for a few months at most, and I have great confidence that I can guarantee success."

Confucius and Mencius shook his head: "I'm not asking you to analyze the relationship between chefs' working age and cooking skills.

In the class a few days ago, I just taught you how to use the correct method to explore the essence of a thing.

Then according to the essence, find a way to solve similar problems, don't tell me that you have forgotten all."

"Ah, this... Teacher Kong, your exams are really everywhere.

I thought I could take a few days off after the mid-term exam. It seems that I think too much..."

Seeing this guy talk about it, he just didn't get to the point, Confucius and Mencius knew that he must have nothing to do.

Then Confucius and Mencius looked at Hu Die and Tie Niu: "Where are you two?"

Tie Niu said immediately: "Teacher Kong, your question is too difficult, and I can't figure it out."

Only Hu Die thoughtfully said: "Teacher Kong, I remember you said that to explore the essence of something, the most important thing is to find the correct variable.

The reason why we roast bamboo worms is not cooked or burnt because the heat is not well controlled.

In terms of standardization, heat is temperature.

So as long as the temperature is well controlled, the success rate can be increased."

The stone immediately slapped his slap: "I understand that when we burn bamboo worms, we put the worms in the bamboo tube. This will cause serious uneven heating, difficult temperature control, and a half-baked state.

But frying is different, because the oil is liquid and the heat is more uniform, so frying has a much higher success rate than roasting."

Tie Niu also followed: "The stone is very reasonable. From a scientific point of view, frying is indeed easier, and it is best to use a small fire in the process of frying.

During frying, the bamboo worms have a period of time from cooked to burnt.

The smaller the fire, the longer this period of time will be. As long as the chef is not distracted and has certain experience, he will basically not fail.

Teacher Kong, is my analysis correct?"

Confucius and Mencius immediately gave a thumbs up: "Yes, you can think so much in such a short period of time. You deserve to be recognized as the smartest child among students.

As long as you work hard, your future achievements are absolutely limitless."

Confucius and Mencius said so, and thought so in his heart.

Such an experimental analysis is generally only encountered in high school.

But considering Yunxi Hope School, 80% of the students have difficulty attending high school.

In his spare time, Confucius and Mencius helped them establish this way of thinking as much as possible, and the effect is currently good.

At this time, Hu Die said, "Since I already know the cause of temperature, can I invent a pot that can measure the temperature of the oil instantly?

Just keep the temperature of the oil in the pot at a constant value, and then measure the time it takes for the bamboo worm to mature at that temperature.

Then I only need to find someone to put in and remove the bamboo worms within the specified time.

Teacher Kong, do you think my method is feasible?"

Confucius and Mencius gave a thumbs up again: "Awesome, the two of them may have great prospects in the future, but you must have great prospects in the future."

After speaking, he smiled at Bagnell: "Sorry, I like to inspect students anytime, it's rude!"

Bagnell shook his head: "Teacher Kong, you are definitely the best teacher I have ever seen.

As dedicated as you, even in a country with a more developed education, I can’t find a few.

Each of your students are excellent, but you are better than them."

Confucius and Mencius waved his hand: "Mr. Bagnell has passed the award, come and eat, beauty, you are telling our guests about this dish."

But while several people were talking, another thousand insect feast was brought over by the waiter.

Bagnell was taken aback: "This...what is this? You can eat this stuff too?"

It turned out that the waiter served a plate of scorpions, and each of the scorpions on this plate was the size of an egg, which looked very scary.

The waiter still kept the same smile: "This is a red scorpion, which grows in the Kazakh desert and is very toxic.

Common animals similar in size to cats and rabbits will be killed on the spot if they are stung by its scorpion tail.

Although large animals like pigs and sheep will not die, they will experience pain, cramps, and even loss of consciousness."

"What? This thing is poisonous?" Agnel stepped back subconsciously, his already pale face becoming paler.

The waiter smiled softly: "Sir, don't panic. I mean poisonous when the red scorpion is alive.

Now after deep-frying, the red scorpion not only loses all the toxicity, but also a great tonic for the body.

Moreover, according to Chinese medicine research, the venom of the red scorpion has a very good effect on the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Many people who often feed on scorpions are ten times less likely to develop this disease than others.

..."

"So..." After listening to the waiter's explanation, Bagnell nodded.

But he still couldn't muster the courage to eat the scorpion in the plate.

Compared to Bagnell's fear, Stone and Iron Bull seemed much more relaxed.

The two of them picked one up with a chopstick and put it in their mouths and chewed it hard. It was delicious.

Even Hu Die caught a scorpion tail and slowly tasted it in his mouth.

Then came the third dish, which is another kind of insect.

The waiter continued to explain: "This kind of insect has a very elegant name called Doudan.

Doudan grows in a similar environment to bamboo insects, except that one grows in a bamboo forest and the other grows in a soybean field.

Doudan has a beautiful body and a shape that resembles a silkworm. It is also rich in protein and its nutritional value is three times that of soybeans.

And because it is rich in protein, the most common way to eat doudan is to deep-fry first and then make soup.

The soup made with doudan and trotters is more delicious than trotters soy soup. "
