There are also messages coming one after another, many of which are cicadas chirping in the wind and changing foxes. He hurriedly turned off the data on his mobile phone and chatted with you, so I don't have to look for bamboo bugs.

In addition to the pine trees on the mountain, the most is a cluster of bamboo, from the top of the mountain at a glance, the col is full of emerald green, bamboo leaves are verdant.

Lu Songtao saw from a distance that there was a sick one in the bamboo forest, most of the bamboo leaves on the top were withered, and the color of the bamboo joints was also pale and lacked emerald green.

Kuang Dejun turned on the video on his mobile phone and began to record the process of catching bamboo insects.

Lu Songtao pointed to the bamboo and said, "This bamboo has almost been eaten to death by bamboo insects." ”

He swung his knife and made a hole in the bamboo about 1 meter above the ground, but there were no bamboo insects in the bamboo. Kuang Dejun was about to ask a question, but Lu Songtao pointed to a few tiny ant holes on this bamboo knot and said, "The bamboo insect is in a bamboo knot on it." ”

After swinging the knife again, Kuang Dejun immediately discovered that there were many fat bamboo insects wriggling and crawling towards a shiny place in the translucent liquid about half of the bamboo tube on this bamboo joint.

Lu Songtao quickly put his hand into the opening, took out the bamboo insects one by one, and put them into the iron bucket prepared in advance.

After seeing two small ant holes on the other bamboo joint, Lu Songtao waved his knife to open a hole in the bamboo tube, and this time, he stretched out his hand above the bamboo joint, and sure enough, he took out a lot of bamboo insects.

Seeing Kuang Dejun's puzzled expression, Lu Songtao told him that most of the villagers in their hometown in Gangxi have the habit of eating bamboo insects, in fact, he and his third uncle and cousin often go to the bamboo forest in the mountains to catch bamboo insects to eat, so they still have a lot of experience in catching bamboo insects.

A few people from the west of the country cut pine oil in Dazhangling, and because they were renting Xie Balzi's house at the foot of the mountain, and they were some distance away from the village, except for Xie Chunlin, a forest ranger in the village, who would drink and chat with them, the other villagers knew nothing about them.

The villagers would occasionally see all kinds of vegetables in the vegetable yard of Xie Baldzi's house, and occasionally Lu Songtao would ride a broken motorcycle to the vegetable market in front of the village committee compound to buy some meat.

Lu Songtao explained to Kuang Dejun: "Whether it is moso bamboo, yellow bamboo, or dragon bamboo, bamboo insects will grow between the bamboo nodes. It's just that the bamboo with bamboo insects will gradually dry up and die because the nutrients are eaten up by the bamboo insects, and when the bamboo dries up, the bamboo insects will also absorb enough nutrients and drill out of the bamboo tube to become a locust-like insect. And what people call bamboo insects is actually the chrysalis of this insect. ”

While digging bamboo insects, Lu Songtao explained a lot of knowledge about bamboo insects to Kuang Dejun.

In the bamboo tube, the natural enemy of the bamboo insect is the ant, and after the ant invades the territory, the bamboo insect will become the food of the ants.

In the process of long-term escape, once the bamboo insect finds the ant invasion, it will also use its wisdom to quickly escape to the upper part of the bamboo, and at the same time as entering the previous bamboo joint, it will quickly lift the bamboo chips bitten down, blocking the passage behind them, so that the ants can not catch up, and then continue to absorb the nutrients of the bamboo.

If the bamboo insects can't escape when the ants invade, their fat bodies will soon become a delicacy for ants.

So the villagers can find bamboo insects according to the ant holes. On the other hand, when judging whether a bamboo has bamboo insects, you can first observe whether the bamboo is growing normally from the outside.

If there is a leafy bamboo, there is naturally no possibility of bamboo insects, as long as it is a slightly sickly, a little malnourished bamboo, nine times out of ten there will be bamboo insects.

To find where the bamboo is located, you have to carefully look for the tiny ant hole in the bamboo, and the bamboo insect must live in the section of bamboo above the ant hole.

However, if the ant hole is porous and large, there is no need to look for it, and the bamboo insects inside will definitely be eaten by the ants.

Lu Songtao skillfully found more than a pound of bamboo insects from several bamboo forests. He said: "This pound of bamboo insects can be sold for almost 200 yuan where we are. ”

Kuang Dejun filmed the process of catching bamboo insects into a video and transmitted it to the WeChat space. As soon as the traffic was turned on, multiple pieces of information jumped out.

Ever-changing Thousand Foxes: Mr. Kuang, Mr. Kuang, the gourmet insect banquet is open, and I will not be notified of the food anchor. Mr. Kuang, beg for food, beg for video!

Kuang Dejun sent her the video of catching bamboo insects just now: "Sister Qianhu, take a look, is the quality of the video very poor?"

Variety Thousand Fox: Pretty good, Brother Kuang, I'm going to steal your fruit for nothing, and put your video on my food anchor.

Shennong disciple: No problem, I will never accept your copyright.

Variety Thousand Fox: Brother Kuang, you can collect some points, I will invite you next time. However, wait for the process of frying bamboo insects, can you also ask Brother Kuang to send me a video, and the process of everyone eating bamboo insects, I also asked Brother Kuang to shoot it together. Please!

Shennong Disciple: No problem.

He turned on the video on his mobile phone: Li Jian took a pocket net and caught dozens of grasshoppers.

"That's right, Li Jian, these grasshoppers are enough for you to eat a meal after being fried. ”

Li Jian said: "If these grasshoppers are delicious after frying, you can shine a lamp in the grass at night, leave an opening, and make a cage with a net to lure countless insects in." ”

Kuang Dejun said: "I searched on the Internet, in fact, in some places, some people have started to use breeding sheds to breed grasshoppers. ”

At this time, Li Mingtang, Zeng Xiangyuan, and Kuang Deshou also returned. A few of them caught dozens of dragonflies, a dozen black spiders, and more than a dozen centipedes.

Kuang Dexi and Kuang Defu came back empty-handed, the two complained to each other, and chattered: "I didn't expect you to be stupider than me, wandering around the bamboo forest for a long time, I didn't even find a fart of a bamboo worm, it's so stupid!" Kuang Dexi's loud voice.

Kuang Defu retorted: "I told you to catch locusts on the grass, but you want to go with me to catch bamboo insects, thinking that you understand, it's not the same as me." ”

Mine Dejun interrupted the argument between the two: "Come on, Brother Dexi, look at the bamboo worms I and Songtao are looking for." He poured the bamboo worms from the bucket into the pot and rummaged through them.

The wriggling worms in the basin provoke the normal nerves of several people, can this worm eat? How similar does it look to the maggots in the manure pit......

Kuang Dexi felt sick to his stomach for no reason, and I still didn't eat it later.

Zeng Xiangyuan is well-informed: "I once went to Lingnan on a business trip, and a friend invited me to eat fried bamboo worms once, and I felt that the taste was good, and I still remember it for decades." ”

Outside the courtyard gate, the black dog led a group of puppies into the courtyard gate, and the female dog Mao Mei squatted outside the courtyard gate.

"Come, leopard, give you something to eat. Kuang Defu used a clean basin, grabbed a handful of wriggling bamboo insects, put them in the box, and brought them to the food grains that the dogs usually eat.
