1256.Lower Oily Pot (2/5)
The locust plague is solved, and all that remains is some locusts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Numbers aside, locusts are a good thing for many people in Sunset, especially for Christians.
It is true that on 21 November 2004, millions of locusts swarmed into the Israeli city of Eilat on the Red Sea coast, destroying so much of the crops and flowers in the southern Israeli city that the Israeli government used aircraft to spray insecticides to eradicate locusts.
But locusts are the only edible insect under Christian and Jewish law, and some Israelis have seized the opportunity to catch many locusts and take them home for cooking, and some food websites have a wide variety of locust menus, including locust skewers, locust strips, and fried locusts.
In this way, the government's anticipated catastrophe turned into a feast of food, and the locusts moved eastward toward Jordan and Saudi Arabia, never passing through the fertile areas of northern Israel, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank......
This thing is really interesting, it's really soft and afraid of hard, hard and horizontal, and horizontal and afraid of death.
For many people in Sunset, locusts have also become food.
There are many Chinese immigrants in Sunset Town, most of whom are middle-aged and elderly, and they all have more or less experience in rural life. And living on the farm, locusts are an unavoidable food topic, who hasn't had the experience of roasting locusts in the field when they were young?
Some of these locusts in New Zealand are very large, they can grow up to 10 centimeters long, although they are not as good as the giant sand mite, but they are also fat, people catch locusts, and then after hearing that there are no parasites in the experts, the pot is opened.
The Maori people, in particular, don't care if they have parasites or not, they go out with nets to catch locusts, and when they catch them, they fry them in a pot and fry them, which are salty and sweet, and the taste is different, and they are just as delicious.
Wang Bo was busy fighting the locust plague at first, but he didn't expect this stubble, but when he was at work, he saw Atulu take a box of fried locusts to eat there as a snack, and then he remembered that he could also get some locusts to eat.
After work, he took little Lori to the wild to catch locusts, pastures and farms don't have to think about it, the locusts there are eaten up by chickens, ducks and geese, so they can only go to the wild to find them.
Driving the car to find a piece of grass, Wang Bo gritted his teeth and said: "You're welcome, don't care about the size, if you catch a locust, tear off your wings and stuff them into a box, you know?" ”
Little Lori said worriedly: "Wouldn't it be too cruel?" ”
Lao Wang continued to grit his teeth: "Cruel? Do you know how big the loss of my brother-in-law is this time? ”
"How big?"
Lao Wang began to count angrily: "Don't say how many vegetables they have destroyed, and how much grass they have destroyed, just say that in order to let go of the chickens, ducks and geese, I have knocked down all the fences of more than 100,000 yuan." ”
"There are also giant sand mites, chickens, ducks, geese and purple water pheasants launched indiscriminate attacks, and the giant sand mites in the pasture have almost all been eaten before they escape into the ground in time, Made, that's a protective insect!"
Little Lori blinked: "What a loss?" ”
Wang Bodao: "Let me tell you this, if you convert it into a starry sky stick, you need at least one or two million starry sky sticks!" ”
"How much?" Little Lori's eyes widened.
"One or two million! Converted to Barbie dolls, there must be hundreds of thousands! ”
Little Lori said angrily: "Why are they so bad? Be sure to let them pan! ”
There are still many locusts in the wild, and it is very simple to catch them, Wang Bo prepared some butterfly nets, that is, put a small grid pocket on the end of a stick, and when the net cover is buckled, there will be several locusts inside.
The commander and commissar quickly understood what he was up to, and flapped their wings to help, and they searched for the large locusts, and then learned to make a dive attack with a small swoop, always succeeding once in two or three times.
The commander flew over with a locust in his mouth and said proudly: "Ah, the commander is capable, ah, the worm has run away!" ”
The locust did not die, but as soon as it opened its mouth, it immediately spread its wings and fled.
But how can it be so simple, there is a small fierce hovering above Wang Bo's head, seeing that the locust wants to fly away, it flies down all of a sudden, and then the locust becomes two......
Xiao Meng is very melancholy, it can't help in this regard, every time it mouths, the consequence is that the locusts are broken in two, and the small ones will be sparse and rotten, and they can't catch the live ones.
The army commander is mouthy, it always can't help but open its mouth and mumble a few words after catching the locusts, so that the locusts can always run away, Wang Bo is angry, and he has not changed his teachings, and the army commander has not caught a few locusts for a while.
But the political commissar did a very good job, it is a doer, diligent, honest to catch locusts, every time you fly back, there is a harvest, little Lori's net pocket plus it helps, quickly packed a box.
Zhuang Ding, Xiao Wang, the princess and the fat cat brothers are also catching locusts, but Lao Wang can't count on them.
Neither Zhuang Ding nor Xiao Wang could do this job, their claws were too big, and if they slapped it with one paw, the locusts would rot directly. The princess was nimble, but when she caught the locusts, she did not give them to the king, but ate them herself.
The fat cat brothers can also catch locusts, and after they catch them, they don't give them to Lao Wang or eat them, but play by themselves, and when the locusts are exhausted, they will change to the next one, and they will never get tired of it.
It didn't take half an hour, a big box in the carriage was full of locusts, Wang Bo whistled, and a group of hairy children such as Zhuangding Xiao Wang immediately threw down their games and got into the car and waited to go back.
Frying locusts is the simplest, but he pickles them first, puts them in a jar with salted water, pickles them overnight, hangs them up for a morning to dry, and puts them in an oil pan to fry them at noon.
Wang Bo carefully searched for relevant information on the Internet, and after confirming that the locusts did not contain any parasites, he began to put down the oil pot.
The sun-dried locusts are very easy to fry, and they have to be fished out after a few seconds of putting them in, at which time the locusts have turned golden brown, sprinkled with cumin and fine salt, and crunchy in the mouth, which is more fragrant than beef and mutton!
Little Lori was very happy to eat, and said to Eva: "Sister, it's really delicious, the teacher said that it is full of protein and fat." ”
Eva's pretty face was gloomy, and she waved her hand and said, "My sister is pregnant, so she can't eat this." ”
She couldn't stand eating bugs.
Wang Bo tore off his wings and legs, stuffed them into his mouth and ate them 'crunchy', a mouthful of grease and aroma, with cumin powder and chili powder, the taste is even better.
And because he marinated it in brine overnight, so that the saltiness of the grasshopper is more thorough.
That Qingyang followed to eat, and Wang Bo asked, "Don't you think it's disgusting to eat insects?" ”
Hearing this, Na Qingyang said contemptuously: "Lao Tzu has eaten stick insects and fried centipedes, not to mention this grasshopper?" I've liked to eat this since I was a child, and now it costs thirty or forty yuan a pound in China, and I haven't eaten much after graduation. ”
Xiao Wang and Zhuang Ding don't eat raw grasshoppers, and they are also very energetic after frying, Lao Wang doesn't feed them, these bear children have too much appetite, and all the fried grasshoppers are not enough for them to eat. (To be continued.) )
