Pirate's Devouring Fruit

&ep;&ep; Holding a piece of fried scorpion in hand, Dawn led everyone to the store that had attracted attention due to the previous shouting.

&ep;&ep;When a few people came to the store where the owner shouted "honeypot ants" and looked at the honeypot ants raised in the store, they realized that the name of this "specialty" turned out to be so vivid.

&ep;&ep;The predecessor of this ant is similar to an ordinary ant, but it is much larger, and the ant's abdomen is swollen to the size of a cherry.

&ep;&ep;Dawn and his party, who had never seen this kind of creature, couldn't help but be curious about this magical creature, and they all asked the boss what species it was.

&ep;&ep; Regarding Sola's many problems, this middle-aged uncle has always been smiling, and there has never been such a bloody plot that he kicked him out because they were brats. However, if it were the local brats, the boss would probably be there at this moment. Changed face.

&ep;&ep;The owner of this shop is a middle-aged uncle, and he has seen many customers in the past. Although these are just a few young guys, not everyone can wear a navy uniform.

&ep;&ep;Depending on the situation, there must be a certain amount of spending power. Besides, there are so many people, and the honeypot ants are not big, so the number of purchases will definitely not be small.

&ep;&ep;Taking a step back, even if you don’t have the money, don’t you still have the Rear Admiral who just paid for it? Is it possible that the Navy will still default on its debts?

&ep;&ep;So the shrewd boss was not impatient when Sora and others asked questions. Instead, he asked them to be quiet and then began to explain the details of the honeypot ants to a few people.

&ep;&ep;“The origin of the name of the honeypot ant is because this ant is very greedy, so it is named after it looks like a big honey jar is dragged on its abdomen. Do you think their abdomen looks like a jar? "

&ep;&ep;After speaking, the boss smiled and pointed to the honeypot ant with a huge belly in the ant nest, and asked everyone to observe it.

&ep;&ep;“You also know that our place is a desert. Although Anluya has been established here and there is no shortage of food, that is for people, and the ants living in the desert rely on their ability to survive in the desert. Survival.

&ep;&ep;This boss probably explains things to outsiders often, and his eloquence is quite good. He arouses the curiosity of the guests just like telling stories. Even Dawn listens with great interest.

&ep;&ep;“In the desert, food is very scarce. Only after heavy rains do plants secrete large amounts of nectar, which is a rare food in dry desert areas.”

&ep;&ep; "So how can these honeypot ants miss the opportunity to have a feast? They are greedy and work hard to suck the nectar until their bodies are about to burst."

&ep;&ep;“In this way, when food is scarce, other ants only need to touch the honeypot ants, and the honeypot ants can spit out honey. This is how the ant colony survives the time of food shortage.”

&ep;&ep;“It’s amazing, there are actually such ants in the world.” Tina picked up an ant and clicked her tongue in surprise.

&ep;&ep;“Little girl, honeypot ants can be eaten by removing their heads. You can have a try.”

&ep;&ep; "God can eat it without turning around. Are you the reincarnation of Master Bei?" Dawn glanced at the smiling boss next to her, complaining in her heart that she didn't organize Tina.

&ep;&ep;Now that the story has been told and the food has been tasted, you are embarrassed not to buy it, right?

&ep;&ep;I guess this is what the boss had in mind.

&ep;&ep;But Dawn already wanted to buy some to try, so he didn’t care much. After all, this was considered a sales promotion method for doing business, and he had seen it a lot in his previous life.

&ep;&ep; "Huh? Is it that simple? You can eat it after removing the head? Why are the colors behind them different?" Tina asked, holding up a red honeypot ant.

&ep;&ep;“Oh, what are you talking about? Our honeypot ants are all artificially bred, so they don’t need to collect nectar. Instead, we select fixed foods for them, and then we can choose different flavors. Yes." The boss said to Tina with a smile.

&ep;&ep; "Oh, let me try it." After saying that, Tina was not afraid. She just cut off the head and put the big jar behind the honeypot ant into her mouth.

&ep;&ep; "Well, this is watermelon flavored and cool? It's really good." Tina's eyes lit up after tasting it for a moment. It felt like drinking juice, with a cool taste, which is very good to eat in this weather. An inexplicable feeling of comfort.

&ep;&ep;“Of course, because it’s hot here, these honeypot ants will be paired with some mint. It tastes good.”

&ep;&ep;The boss said with a smile: "And because the honeypot ants will fully mix what they eat after drinking it, there is no need to mix other things to adjust the taste like other drinks. It is purely natural."

&ep;&ep; Seeing that Tina was eating well, Dawn bought some of one flavor and distributed it to several people to taste. Dawn also tasted each flavor, but the flavor that Dawn liked the most was the pure mint flavor. It's very comfortable to eat cold.

&ep;&ep;But apart from the honeypot ants, what interests Dawn the most is the honeypot ant drink and the wine they brew. There is nothing special about the drink, as long as it is filtered enough.

&ep;&ep;The most important thing is that the taste of this drink goes very well with the mint. Dawn bought a lot of flavors in one go and planned to take them back as souvenirs.

&ep;&ep;The wine is very unique. This kind of wine brewed with special ingredients and methods requires many filtration procedures, and there is no remains of honeypot ant corpses to affect the taste.

&ep;&ep;This amount makes the middle-aged man smile from ear to ear. As for the money, there is no need to worry. For example, part of the property seized on the pirate ship will be distributed to the personnel involved in the battle. The casualties will be Give priority to the majority.

&ep;&ep;However, Dawn and others started from guarding Roger's execution. Along the way, they encountered many pirates and obtained a lot of Baileys, but they never had the chance to use them.

&ep;&ep;As for the various flavors of liqueur, they are a bit like drinking cocktails in the past life, and they are all natural without added preservatives and colorings. They are also divided into high and low alcohol.

&ep;&ep;As for Dawn, who is a minor? Of course it was a low-alcohol drink. Although it was said to be wine, Dawn felt that the taste was just different from the drink.

&ep;&ep;As for the degree? At least Dawn was okay after drinking a lot, and so were the others. They drank almost as if they were drinking ordinary drinks. Maybe it was due to their strong physical fitness?

&ep;&ep;However, this time it was a fruitful harvest. Seeing that Major General Yake had not returned yet, everyone wandered around again and found a lot of novel food.

&ep;&ep;For example, crocodile eggs, turtle eggs, grilled crocodile meat, etc., which everyone enjoyed eating. The way of eating at this kind of street stall reminded Dawn of the leisurely way of visiting street stalls in his previous life.

&ep;&ep;I often feel like I haven’t eaten much but I feel full after walking around the street. Thinking about it, I really don’t have much time to relax after coming to this world. Although it is a bit unexpected to come out this time, it is good to enjoy this moment of leisure.

&ep;&ep;But soon, this peaceful leisure was broken.

&ep;&ep;“Damn these sand thieves are here again! Run away!”

&ep;&ep;“Run quickly!! Run quickly, run!!”

&ep;&ep;"Where are the guards! Damn it!"

&ep;&ep;
