Chapter 20 Natural Investigator (Fifth)

“Chief A, I’ll come first!”

In the crowd, a soldier raised his hand.

Chen Ming looked around and saw a sturdy soldier with a height of about 1.65 meters slowly walking out of the crowd.

This sturdy soldier is not tall, but he has a kind of iron-blooded temperament, a pair of thick eyebrows stand up, and there is a toughness in his eyes.

He walked to a plastic bag, picked up a fat green worm, rubbed the skin of the green worm with his hands, threw the rest into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.

During the whole process, the savage soldier’s face was extraordinarily calm, as if he had eaten a peanut.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a grasshopper from another plastic bag. After pulling out all the wings and claws of the grasshopper, he threw the rest into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.

After eating two worms in a row, Jinghan still didn’t change his face, and planned to get the third worm.

“Enough is enough, no need to eat any more!” Chen Ming said, looking at the tough soldier in front of him: “What’s your name?”

The savvy soldier gave a military salute, “Report to Chief A, my name is Huo Changhong!”

“The first time an ordinary person eats bugs, shouldn’t you react like this, have you eaten bugs before?” Chen Ming asked.

Huo Changhong nodded, “My family is an hunter family. I used to go hunting in the mountains with my grandfather since I was a child. My grandfather taught me to eat worms and said that worms are very nutritious!”

“The Orion family was born?” Chen Ming’s eyes lit up slightly, and then he asked, “Are you familiar with mountains and forests, how are your eyesight and sense of smell?”

“I grew up in the mountains, and I am very familiar with the mountains. I have a very sensitive sense of smell. When I was in the old army, the squad leader said that I was a dog nose!” Huo Changhong said truthfully: “As for vision, the last time I was on the side was 5.3!”

“Familiar with mountains and forests, with a sensitive nose and 5.3 eyesight, he is a natural detective!” Chen Ming thought.

After he wrote down Huo Changhong’s name and face, he said to him, “You have good qualifications, come back to the team first!”

“Yes!” Huo Changhong nodded and joined the team.

At this time, the hygienist Xu Jinfu raised his hand, “The first one, I am the second!”

After speaking, he trotted out, picked a grasshopper out of the plastic bag, stripped off its wings, claws and head, closed his eyes and stuffed the rest into his mouth, chewed a few times and swallowed it.

Immediately afterwards, he opened his eyes and said with surprise: “This grasshopper actually tastes like chicken!”

A group of soldiers who were originally very afraid of eating insects were immediately amused by Xu Jinfu’s words, and their hearts were not as afraid as before.

“Hygienist, return to the team after eating, don’t let this joke!” Chen Ming waved his hand.

“Yes, Chief A!” The sanitation hurriedly returned to the team.

After that, the soldiers came up to eat the worms one after another, and most of them just closed their eyes and ate them like the hygienists.

However, there are a small number of people who still can’t pass the psychological level, and finally dare not eat insects. After putting down their helmets, they turn around and leave.

Half an hour later, there were more than 40 helmets on the training ground.

Except for the more than 40 people who were eliminated, the remaining soldiers endured nausea and discomfort and ate the bugs.

“This is the end of today’s training, let’s go back to dinner and rest!” Chen Ming said.

“Yes!” Everyone shouted in unison and rushed to the dormitory together.

An hour later, Lin Guang pushed the dining cart to the door of the dormitory. In addition to the steamed buns and porridge, there was also a large bucket of fresh soup made from eel and loach for dinner today.

Compared with yesterday’s dinner, it is undoubtedly a lot richer.

Soldiers poured soup from wooden bowls.

“This soup is so fresh, I’ll have another bowl!”

“This eel is so delicious, and the meat is so tender, I didn’t realize it when I lived in the countryside before!”

“This loach is not bad, but it has many bones!”

“…”

After eating and drinking, the soldiers went back to the dormitory to sleep.

They all knew that Hell Week was only on the second day, and there were five days left for them.

If you don’t rest well, you might be eliminated if you accidentally make a mistake the next day.

The next day, four in the morning.

Pingliang Township, Chu family!

Before dawn, Chu Xiaoxiao got up early and went out with a wooden cart.

This wooden cart was the only valuable thing left by her father during his lifetime.

At this point, there was a fire stove and a few bags of worms on the wooden cart, as well as some pre-pounded peppers and minced garlic.

After listening to Chen Ming’s words yesterday, Chu Xiaoxiao decided to give it a try and take these bugs to the county town to sell.

Pingliang Township is a three-hour walk from the county seat.

Therefore, Chu Xiaoxiao had to get up at four in the morning, so that he could catch up with the morning market in the county seat.

When the sky was completely bright and the golden light of the rising sun shone on the ground, Chu Xiaoxiao rushed to the county town sweating profusely.

Pushing the wooden cart to walk the country road for three hours, she was really tired, and her feet were a little sore.

Since it was still early, there were not many people setting up stalls on the street, so Chu Xiaoxiao quickly found a place with a lot of traffic to occupy it.

Then start the fire, clean up the bugs, string it with bamboo skewers, smear it with chili and minced garlic, and grill it on the fire.

Half an hour later, the streets became lively. There were many small vendors like Chu Xiaoxiao, from the street to the end of the street.

Due to the opening of the market in the early years, some people who started business first tasted the sweetness and made a lot of money, so in recent years, more and more people are doing business.

Selling vegetables, buying eggs, selling chickens, ducks and fish, selling candy and cakes, and even selling game, everything is dazzling.

There are only a few customers in the city, and there are many small vendors, so naturally they are involved, and everyone can’t make much money.

Many small vendors are complaining about the sluggish business in recent years, and they miss the better environment and more customers in the past few years.

As everyone knows, there are just too many merchants, and the customers are diverted. *
