Chapter 162: Black Market Commotion (2)
Wangfujing was originally a famous wealthy district in Beijing. Or it referred to the street selling snacks in the black market.
Only the Black Store Manager would know why they specifically named the snack-selling street Wangfujing.
It was also a specialty of the black market, as hungry customers gathered due to the night-time nature of the black market.
And because they sold all kinds of bizarre foods.
Giant centipedes, scorpions, water bugs, flying squirrels fried with limbs and wings spread, palm-sized spiders, various long caterpillars, unknown insects, etc.
Of course, there were certain items that sold among them.
It was silkworm pupae called “heavenly worms,” a common snack seen anywhere in the Central Plains.
It’s the same silkworm pupae that Koreans enjoy.
Instead, the Chinese people ate them after they had become “king pupae” that had evolved further than regular pupae, so they were a bit bigger than Korean silkworm pupae.
