The Little Lucky Girl

Ming Youyou sat in the garden, eating a bamboo worm and a bee worm in one bite. Her mouth was greasy from the crunching sound. Soon the yard was filled with a strange fragrance.

The Han sisters who had just returned from horse racing were attracted by the aroma as soon as they entered the house. Madam Tao immediately ordered the maid, "Hurry up and bring some food over, we are starving."

Ming Youyou covered the leaves with her hands and trotted over. Seeing the two people with red faces and bright eyes, she enviously asked, "Is the grassland fun?"

Han Wuniang smiled and nodded, "I finally understand what 'the sky is vast, the wilderness is boundless' means. The beauty of nature cannot be expressed in words."

Mrs. Tao sniffed at her, then fixed her eyes on the leaf in her hand, "So the fragrance comes from you. Tell me, what delicious food did you eat?"

Ming Youyou was about to lift up the leaf, but she suddenly thought of Aunt Luo's reaction and said hesitantly, "The food inside is delicious, but it looks a little scary."

Mrs. Tao smiled and stretched out her hand to open it, saying disapprovingly, "How scary can food be?"

She looked down, her face changed, and she said in shock: "This, this, this, could it be fried insects?"

Seeing Ming Youyou nodded, she immediately jumped three feet away, "Quick, quick, take it away."

Mrs. Tao's reaction was so intense that it frightened everyone in the yard. Han Wuniang explained, "My eldest sister has been afraid of insects since she was a child, even ants."

Ming Youyou blinked her eyes. She found it unbelievable that Mrs. Tao, who seemed so majestic on weekdays, was actually afraid of ants.

She thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you try it? After you've tasted it, you won't be afraid anymore."

Mrs. Tao pretended not to hear, but Han Wuniang picked one up and looked at it, and asked curiously: "Can this really be eaten? Will it give me a stomachache after eating it?"

Ming Youyou shook his head. "This insect grows up eating bamboo. It's very clean. Even children in our village who have just grown teeth can eat it."

Han Wu Niang took a bite carefully and said in surprise: "It's really fragrant."

"Is that right?" Ming Youyou happily handed her another one. "Try this swarm again. You have to put the whole thing in your mouth and eat it."

Seeing the two of them eating like this, Mrs. Tao couldn't help but move closer, but still stood three steps away and said, "No matter how delicious it is, it's still a bug. Don't you feel disgusted?"

Ming Youyou just put a super big one into her mouth, which made her cheeks bulge out like a little squirrel. She said vaguely: "What's the big deal? Some people also like to eat fried grasshoppers, fried centipedes, fried cicadas..."

"Stop, stop, stop." Mrs. Tao didn't dare to let her continue. "Well, Fengda's archery skills are good. He hunted several rabbits. You can take two back. Go back quickly while the weather is still good."

Ming Youyou was "driven" out with the rabbit and the food that had just been made in the kitchen.

She was sitting on the ox cart and seeing that there were few people around the dirt road, she quietly asked the system to send a few fried insects to Zhengdao.

Zheng Dao guessed the mischievous intention of the child and returned the favor by purchasing a portion of Huogongdian stinky tofu online and sending it to her.

The system didn't let her take it out until she got off the ox cart and the driver had walked a long way away. Only then did it let her go.

Then she knew why. The smell was so bad that she even suspected she had stepped in shit.

"Isn't this really bad?" she complained, "There are still people who can eat it."

The system had already checked the information. "This is a famous snack. Many people go to the local area to look for it. People say it is 'black as ink, fragrant as mellow, tender as crisp, and soft as velvet'. Now you have it in your hand, are you sure you don't want to try it?"

Ming Youyou was very resistant on the one hand, but very curious on the other. She took one bite, and then another, and in the blink of an eye the whole piece of tofu was gone.

She walked into the yard and found Zheng Huan and the other two sitting on the bench with their heads down. The atmosphere was a bit depressing.

Before she could ask, Feng Xu rushed over, sniffed her and said, "What's that smell on you? Why is it fragrant and smelly at the same time? Did you step on cow dung? No, it's even stinkier than cow dung."

Ming Youyou took out the stinky tofu and said, "It's delicious. Do you want to try it?"

Feng Xu was choked and took several steps back, saying in horror: "You, you actually..."

"Don't make such a fuss." Ming Youyou admired his expression and put a piece of it into her mouth. "Okay, I'll help you eat yours."

She turned to Jung Hwan and Noh Tae again, "Do you want to eat?"

Of course they would. The young men were very curious, and seeing that Ming Youyou was not afraid, they naturally did not dare to show weakness. They picked up a piece and stuffed it into their mouths with their eyes closed.

Wow, it’s really delicious.

"It is said that you cannot judge a book by its cover, and the same goes for food," said Zheng Huan.

Lu Tai also said: "It smells bad but tastes good. It's unexpected. It's not only delicious but also interesting."

Feng Xu saw that several people were eating and talking, and no one paid any attention to him. What was even more infuriating was that they actually didn't leave him a single bite. He immediately became very angry and deliberately panted beside them.

Ming Youyou was so annoyed that she handed him the big leaf bag and asked, "Do you dare to eat what's inside?"

Feng Xu smelled a very fragrant aroma and thought to himself, you guys even dare to eat that stinky tofu, so what else can I not dare to eat?

Then he threw several of them into his mouth without even looking at them carefully.

"Ugh, what is this?"

"You don't want to know." She decided to be kind for once.

The three of them had a hunch that there was something fishy going on here, but they were starving and didn't want to refuse something so delicious, so they simply didn't ask and decided to wait until they had finished eating.

"By the way, what happened to you just now?" Ming Youyou thought of the scene when she entered the door.

The three people's spirits, which had just been boosted by the food, suddenly fell.

Feng Xu whispered, "We went to the bookstore this afternoon."

"Oh? You have written a new book?" Ming Youyou was extremely surprised. It has only been such a short time since the last book was completed, and another one has come out so soon?

"It's because Zheng Huan and his friend want to make money quickly that they get up early and work late," he muttered quietly, "I told them it wouldn't work, and they also spent a lot of money on lamp oil."

"Are you worried about the lamp oil? You're just lazy and don't want to write." Lu Tai snorted, "The part you are responsible for is the worst."

Feng Xu was not convinced, "How could it be the worst? Madam Xu treated everyone equally this time and reviewed the book from beginning to end."

Ming Youyou was confused. "You have already written two books. No matter how bad it is, it won't be criticized so badly."

The three of them sighed in unison, "It is because of the previous foundation that the requirements are so strict this time."

In the words of Madam Xu, even if your pen name is not a household name now, it is still well-known. As long as your book comes out, it will definitely cause a wave of buying. But in the end, do you show people content like this?
