Chapter 367: Fried Grasshoppers

Seeing that there was nothing that could help, Chu Jiaqiang rode back on his bicycle again. On the way, I found that some people were still wandering in the vegetable field, and Chu Jiaqiang thought they were catching crickets.

"Are you catching crickets in this place? There are relatively few such places. Chu Jiaqiang kindly reminded.

Since the day of catching crickets and fighting crickets, there will be such a group of people looking for crickets everywhere every day, as long as they catch a very good fight, they will immediately go to fight with Chen Wu, and they all want to conquer the black-headed generals of others. On the contrary, Fu Shenglin's cricket king has a feeling of loneliness as a master, and he has never been able to find a master to match.

"No, I've been looking for so many days, but I haven't been able to beat Chen Wu's black-headed general, so I won't look for it first. We're looking for grasshoppers, and we'll fry them in oil, hehe! That tastes good. "A tourist seems to eat a lot of that stuff.

"Ugh!" Chu Jiaqiang looked at the guy and was very surprised. He also knew that grasshoppers could eat them, and he heard that they were still very nutritious, but he never dared to eat them. Bee pupae and woodworms have been eaten, and the taste is indeed extraordinary.

Grasshoppers are also known as grasshoppers, oil grasshoppers, and grasshoppers. It belongs to the order Locusts in the order Orthoptera, usually green, brown or black, with a large head and short antennae; The dorsal plate of the anterior thorax is stiff and extends to the left and right sides like a saddle, and the middle and hind thorax are healed and cannot be moved. The muscles of the feet, especially the hind legs, are strong and powerful, the exoskeleton is hard, making it an expert at jumping, the tibia has sharp saw spines, which is an effective defensive weapon, and the ovipositor has no obvious protrusion, which is the biggest difference from the mantis.

They are often found in fields and grasses. When grasshoppers are overpopulated and dense enough to be fed, they change their lifestyles and migrate in groups to new places in search of food, which is then known as locusts. Male and female adults die soon after the male and female worms**, but the females eat a lot of food and accumulate nutrients.

"But there are so few grasshoppers in your place! If you were somewhere else, you would have eaten for an hour. The man spoke again.

Actually, many people think of the reason. There are more and more birds in this place, and the villagers raise chickens and ducks outside, and the grasshoppers roaming outside are the first to harm those animals. Grasshoppers are not extinct, already thanks to their terrifying ability to reproduce.

Just now, when they were catching, they met a few birds coming over to fight, so that they were not depressed.

"Huh! Maybe it's a little less now, but there used to be a lot of it. And this season will be less, if it happens to be after autumn, it is guaranteed that many places will be flooded. Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile.

The so-called grasshopper after autumn can't jump for a few days! In fact, that is to say, during that time, grasshoppers began to fall into reincarnation and collectively entered the aging period. It's not hard to explain, it's kind of pandering to nature! After autumn, everything begins to reincarnate, and plants lose their leaves, etc., resulting in a sudden decrease in food, and if grasshoppers multiply in large numbers, it will be fatal!

Of course, in the south, this situation is not so serious, even in winter, grasshoppers can be found, but there will definitely be fewer of them. However, grasshoppers are pests and are a nuisance to farmers. Once this animal multiplies, it will be a plague of locusts! Seriously, it may be a thousand miles away. In ancient times, because of the backward insect control technology, once a locust plague occurred, it meant that the people would starve to death.

"If you go over there, there should be more, it's close to the reservoir, and there are a lot of birds, and they have long been caught by those early birds." Chu Jiaqiang suggested.

When I got home, there were a lot of people gathered at the door of my house, and they seemed to be watching the excitement, and Chu Jiaqiang had seen a lot of this situation, and he was very calm. When he walked in, he found that at some point, a lot of squirrels came to the house, and many of them were jumping on the longan tree.

Just as he was wondering, his little squirrel came out of the house. Li Quan followed behind, holding a bag of things in his hand, if he didn't guess wrong, it should be nuts. Look at that bag, it's the same one that the students brought today.

"The little squirrel is in for a treat again!" At this time, someone laughed.

The people in the room also came out, laughing at the scene. Yang Lao, who only came over today, looked demented, and was obviously thundered.

When he first arrived, he was speechless with shock when he saw a few tigers. Later, he saw other small animals, and they all gave him a very amazing feeling, each animal has its own amazing features. But in general, these animals are too smart to be accepted by the average person.

"Alas! I was caught by a little squirrel. Li Quan, who acted as a thug, said depressedly.

"Huh! Didn't the little squirrel pay you? Professor Wen said with a smile. Li Quan spread out his palm, and there were two nuts on it, and the depressed color on his face became even stronger. When everyone saw it, they burst into laughter.

The little squirrels chirped a few times, and the scattered squirrels jumped down one by one and lined up on the ground. When everyone saw this scene, they were even more amazed, and many people had already set up shooting tools to shoot.

The squirrels are very disciplined, one by one they come forward to receive things, and those who get the nuts quickly leave, jump on the horizontal branches, and nibble on the nuts with their two front paws.

"These squirrels are the ones who helped last night, right?" Someone asked.

Everyone can't recognize it, but the guess is also, the little squirrel is really the most "human" animal here, no wonder the popularity is so high, and it is not unreasonable to be ahead of other animals.

After the squirrels had eaten their fill, they led the team away and headed for the mountains in the distance. There was some regret that these squirrels were not left.

"It's winter now, and there's not much food in the mountains, so why don't you let the little squirrels invite them out to eat often? It will not be so that they will not find food and go hungry. A tourist suggested.

Professor Wen explained: "Hehe! You don't have to worry, there are so many animals in the mountains, and the one who worries about food the most is the squirrel. These little creatures spend the year collecting and storing food, and they don't worry about eating at all. ”

In the evening, Zhou Furong and the others did not eat, so they went to the side of the reservoir. Knowing that there were grasshoppers with oil residue tonight, even a few old people were interested, so they took a Gu wine and laughed over.

Seeing the grasshoppers that had been fried to a brown, those who had tasted grasshoppers moved their fingers. Some young people drink beer and eat grasshoppers at the same time, and life is not good.

To eat fried grasshoppers, you should pay attention to two main aspects. First, whether you have allergies, if so, you should be cautious; Second, because it is fried, you must not eat too much, otherwise it will also cause high blood lipids and obesity.

Some people may question the hygiene of grasshoppers, but that's nothing to worry about. There is generally no problem with wild grasshoppers to eat, they also belong to high-quality proteins, but some people are afraid that they are prone to allergies after eating, and they should pay attention to allergies. Don't worry about hygiene, even if there are any miscellaneous bacteria, they will be eliminated after frying at high temperatures.
