Chapter Seventy-Six: The Miserable World of Bamboo Worms

In my previous life, I had more than ten years of extreme sports experience, traveled all over the world, and also ate all over the world.

As a "martial arts genius" with a foodie physique, coupled with the food cells activated by the carnivorous method, Liu Danqing can be regarded as a chef, compared to a single dish, may not be as good as those top chefs, but he has more cuisines than he has mastered, and he has mastered a wealth of cooking methods, and he is really no worse than anyone else on this planet.

"Huh?"

Liu Danqing suddenly exclaimed and walked towards a clump of bamboo.

"You see, in this clump of bamboo, there are a few that are a little different from the surroundings, the first is that the bamboo is short, compared with the bamboo next to it, some are about half shorter, the second is that the bamboo joints are more yellow than other bamboos, and finally the color of the bamboo is a little incongruous, with some pale yellow patches. ”

"I really didn't expect that there might be bamboo insects on this island, so I'm looking forward to it! I'm going to get a dagger." ”

Liu Danqing walked back to Li Daniu's side and said, "Brother Niu, give me the dagger first, I may have found some good things, and I need to confirm it." ”

As soon as Li Daniu heard the good things, his spirit also came, and it happened that he was sweating from sawing bamboo, and now he went to see the strange, and he could also take the opportunity to rest for a while.

"I'll go with you to see, what's the good thing?"

Liu Danqing said with a smile: "I'm not sure if there is one, you can follow and see it." ”

Walking to the clump of bamboo, Liu Danqing sawed at a section of yellowed bamboo.

An oblique upward saw, an oblique downward saw, directly opened a window for the bamboo.

Liu Danqing leaned to the window and looked inside, and was suddenly overjoyed.

"Sure enough, it's a bamboo insect, hehe! There is a small snack in the evening, the audience, envy, we can eat the most famous snacks of the Dai and Kino people in the evening. ”

The audience was still a little stimulated, but after Liu Danqing caught a few bamboo insects, they immediately ridiculed.

"No, don't give Danqing and Weiwei an early warning plane - Qing Ye, you better enjoy it slowly, just this, we are all called maggots!"

"The color is not obvious, give Danqing and Weiwei a spaceship - bamboo insects! Good things, big supplement, Qing Ye and Da Niu eat more, you know, hehe!"

"Remembrance, looking for you to give Danqing and Weiwei a spaceship - sit and wait for Fan Ye to eat bamboo worms, wow!

"Sisters, I just gave Danqing and Weiwei a spaceship - wahahahaha, the soldiers and the big cow fell into the hands of Qing Ye, miserable!"

Liu Danqing held a few bamboo insects in his palms and handed them to Fan Bingbing and Xiao Weiwei.

Fan Bingbing looked at the bamboo insects writhing in Liu Danqing's hands, one by one, white, clean, and there were two small black spots the size of sesame seeds growing on the door of his head, which was really cute...... I want to throw up.

"Qing, Qing, Qing, Qing, Qing, Qing, you take this thing away, it's disgusting, isn't this a maggot. ”

Xiao Weiwei is the seed player of the female savage, not only did she not retreat, but also looked carefully.

"It's a bit like a maggot, but it's not disgusting to look closely, Sister Bingbing, this bamboo insect is clean, it's not disgusting, you can see it if you look closely, it's quite cute." ”

This evaluation stunned the melon-eating crowd!

"You are a cow! ”

"Mengmeng didn't give Danqing and Weiwei a helicopter - Sister Weiwei, you are the woman standing at the top of the food chain, I am proud of you, proud of you!"

"Heheha, give Danqing and Weiwei an early warning plane - I don't even take medicine when I have a cold, just take Weiwei!"

"Sisters, I just gave Danqing and Weiwei a spaceship - this time I'm really convinced, Weiwei, you are my sister. ”

When Fan Bingbing heard the word cute, he mustered up his courage and looked back at the bamboo insect in Liu Danqing's hand, uh, he still felt disgusting.

But after looking at it twice, I don't think it's so disgusting.

"If you look closely, it's a bit like a silkworm baby, but it's a little thinner, Master Qing, are you sure this thing can be eaten?"

The Qingye lecture hall opened again.

"Bamboo insect is the larvae of bamboo bees, it eats young bamboo shoots to absorb nutrients, grows from the size of a grain of rice to the size of a finger within 20 days, parasitizes in the bamboo tube, eats from the tip of the bamboo section by section, and finally hides in the roots, the body fat stops eating, and is ready to break out of the pupa out. ”

"Don't think about disgusting things, look carefully at the appearance of bamboo insects, snow-white, about 3 centimeters long, section by section like bamboo, round, with thin eyes and small black mouths, like sesame seeds on snow sticks, in fact, it is very cute. ”

"It's the end of summer, it's the time when bamboo insects are the fattest, people didn't know that bamboo insects are delicious before, treat it as an ordinary pest, it is said that its delicacy was first discovered by a bamboo cutter in the platoon gang, this foodie said that he was from Ningguang County, Guangdong Province, and that he was a Dai person in Southwest Province. ”

"Hundreds of years ago, on a late summer and early autumn morning, a villager who made a living by cutting down bamboo and selling it came to the bamboo forest. His whole family depends on selling bamboo to make a living, but according to this year's trend, he can't get enough bamboo to make ends meet, not only him, but his village and many bamboo cutters are facing this problem. ”

The young man looked at the wriggling fat bamboo worm and became more and more angry, and he couldn't help but feel fire from his heart, and evil was born to the side of his guts, and he yelled, "You let us have no food to eat, and I will eat you." So he grabbed a bamboo insect and put it in his mouth, and bit it hard, but he didn't expect the taste of the bamboo insect to be very delicious, and there was a childhood memory in the fat - milky fragrance. ”

"This hungry bamboo cutter can't control himself (it seems that this person is from Guangdong Province, the possibility is relatively high, listening to the queen's mother said that I can't control myself, it's quite emotional. Crazy devouring this delicious taste that has never been tasted before. After a while, he burped in satisfaction, and the feeling of fullness in his belly made him very pleasant, but then the fear began to grapple with him. ”

For him, the bamboo insect is God's punishment, and he does not know whether the bamboo insect is highly poisonous, so he returned home in a panic, ignored no one, and fell asleep. But the next day, he found that he was not only safe and sound, but also full of energy, so he and his family secretly began to eat this forbidden substance at that time. ”

After a period of time, people found that the whole village was getting thinner and thinner, only the young man's family not only did not lose weight, but also became fat, so they asked the reason, and the young man was forced to tell the truth. ”

Since then, bamboo insects have become popular as a delicacy in the local area, and later various cooking methods have been developed, such as fried bamboo insects, stir-fried bamboo insects, stewed bamboo insects, salt and pepper bamboo insects, and so on. ”

Liu Danqing's story made the three of them and the audience listen to it with relish, and even with it, the gaze of the bamboo insect is no longer disgusted.

"Master Qing, can this bamboo insect really be eaten?" Li Daniu was the first to speak and asked, looking at his appearance, he was already a little moved.

"A must, let's get more coconut oil when we go back, fried bamboo worms to eat, absolutely delicious, crunchy, milky. ”

Next, Liu Danqing first made a bamboo tube, and then began to look for bamboo insects, while Xiao Weiwei shoveled out the bamboo insects with bamboo chips and put them in the bamboo tube.

Fortunately, bamboo insects are generally at the bottom of the bamboo, so Liu Danqing's workload is not large, and soon, they searched the nearby bamboo bushes, and the bamboo bushes they caught were piled up in a thick layer in the bamboo tube, at least five or six centimeters thick.

"I'll find a leaf ball and plug the bottle, and these delicacies won't run away, and I will add food at night, hehe. ”
