Yes. When the brothers of Huazizhuang returned from the crop field, they saw a locust feast.

One by one, the small locusts, under the skillful hands of Lai's second daughter-in-law and a group of daughters-in-law, turned into mouth-watering delicacies. There are crispy spicy locusts, crispy locusts fried with batter, salt-and-pepper locusts roasted to brown, and locust egg custard with green and soft tenderness...... These mothers-in-law, like magical magicians, turned small locusts into a large table of sumptuous locust feasts.

Zhuang Xiaochu looked at everyone's amazed eyes, and secretly proudly brought Lai's second daughter-in-law over. He cleared his throat and said to everyone, "Don't be scared, let's taste it!" After speaking, he picked up a spicy locust with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

The locusts are very crispy, roasted dry with chili peppers and peppercorns, put it in the mouth and bite it, it is spicy and crispy, and the aftertaste is endless. The brothers saw that the owner had eaten, so they also picked up chopsticks and ate them.

"Delicious. "It's so delicious!" "Wow, it's delicious." Along with the sound of chewing, words of praise also rang out from time to time.

The owner of the village told everyone: "Locusts are not only edible, but also very nutritious." The nutritional value of locusts is higher than that of chicken and pork! Ten locusts can beat one chicken. ”

A locust feast ate the old and young on the farm. After eating enough, Zhuang Xiaochu told everyone that the locusts could be dried and brought back to the girls and daughters-in-law in the village to eat, and they could also be sealed in the basement and taken out to eat later. So, let's catch more locusts!

Ten locusts can top a chicken. The brothers all remembered this phrase. Catching locusts is even more exciting. In Tahara, there was a voice after a while: "I've caught another chicken!" "I've caught six chickens now." "I'm more than you, I'm seven and a half chickens. "Catching chickens has become synonymous with catching locusts.

Other farms on Meishan also followed Zhuang Xiaochu's example, hiring people to catch small locusts. I also made a delicacy from the small locusts I caught. Before, I only knew that this thing was a pest, and I hated it to the core. Now eat all these little locusts in your mouth, and you can solve the hatred in your heart.

Zhuang Xiaochu didn't let the kitchen make locusts for his brothers to eat every day. Every two or three days, I gave my brothers a meal. Usually, it is still coarse tea and light rice. He was afraid that he would eat it every day, and his brothers would get tired of it, and he would not want to eat it again in the future, nor would he want to catch locusts again. He instructed the small locusts he caught every day to be roasted in the kitchen with a fire, and to find a clean bag to put it up, and he would wait until later to bring it back to Hanakozhuang to eat it slowly.

The small locusts were quickly wiped out under the double slaughter of chickens and bamboo sticks. One acre of land, two acres of land...... The brothers went through the farmland of half a catty and half of the two families and the fields and vineyards of the royal manor they bought.

It was originally planned to build a few warehouses on the farm, and now the brothers are here. If you don't repair it now, when will you buy some bricks, and everyone will repair them. They were all people who had repaired the house, and everything was very familiar, and within a few days, several impenetrable warehouses were repaired, and extremely strong doors were installed. Lao Lu said: "Our warehouse, not to mention locusts, even if the tiger comes, I am afraid that we will not be able to enter." ”

Repair the warehouse. There were still a few small locusts in the fields, some ripening that night, and some jumping from the fields of other estates. Zhuang Xiaochu and half a catty and eight taels together, united with other owners, and acted collectively. I searched the large field in a dragnet style and went through it again. This time, not only the locusts jumping on the ground were stabbed with bamboo sticks, but even the gray-white larvae that had just grown in the soil and could not jump were pulled out with bamboo sticks and sent to the kitchen.

Half a catty and eight taels and the Wu family couple are very grateful to the brothers of Huazizhuang and Zhuang Xiaochu, when the plague, it was the owner of the village who tried his best to send medicine to save their lives, and now the small locusts are ravaging, and the owner of the village is rushing to exterminate the insects with his brothers.

Zhuang Xiaochu and his brothers said: "They are all brothers of their own family, and they should share blessings and difficulties." ”

Mrs. Wu knew that the owner of the village had agreed to marry Miss Yang in order to get the medicine, and felt a little ashamed of Xiao Qi, so she took a valuable emerald ring and asked the owner to bring it to Xiao Qi. She said: "Owner, we all know about you marrying the little lady, please let the seventh lady accept this ring, in order to save us, it is really wronged by the seventh lady." Zhuang Xiaochu also smiled.

The dozen or so baskets of chickens brought with him grew up rapidly after eating locusts, and they were just the same every day. Zhuang Xiaochu said to half a catty: "I won't take the chicken back, just stay here." There will definitely be some small locusts in the field, let them stay in the field, and when the ears of rice are almost ripe, they will be caught and locked up. When the autumn harvest comes, I will bring my brothers back to eat chicken. ”

The group returned to Huazizhuang in a majestic manner. Zhuang Li was naturally very happy, so he didn't go into details.

Brought back small dried locusts in sacks. Take out the little locusts, still use chili pepper and pepper various seasonings and puff pastry again, the whole is fragrant and crispy, and it is packed in a small jar, and when the carriage is returned, the family sends two small jars as a thank you gift. And all the rest was packed in large jars and covered with lids. When you want to eat, grab a few plates and come out, and the rest is still covered. After a few months, it is still fragrant and crispy.

Boss Yang hugged the small jar and said, "Look, our son-in-law is still thinking about us." "This son-in-law is not easy to come by, and the Yang family and his wife cherish it very much. Especially Chunxi Niang, Chunxi Niang said: "Our girl, pampered since childhood, has a big temper, and doesn't know how to be considerate and caring for people. "As the old saying goes, the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the happier she becomes.

In the evening, the crispy locusts were brought to the table, and the people in the village had never seen the locusts. Just what is this? A small yellow-green yellow-green yellow-green, crispy and a little translucent, and when it reaches the mouth, it is another piece of admiration. The brothers were proud to tell them that this was their spoils of war. Everyone knows that this is a locust.

At night, Zhuang Xiaochu handed the little flower shadow that was glued to his body and was about to fall asleep to the flower lady on the side, and the flower lady took it to sleep. Zhuang Xiaochu hugged Xiao Qi: "Xiao Qi, do you miss me?" There were many people in the afternoon, and he didn't seize the opportunity to make love. Now that there is a flower shadow again, it seems that it is more important to pay attention. The two couples closed the door, hugged each other, talked affectionately, and did what was not suitable for children.
