Chapter 21 Catching Bamboo Insects
As soon as Li Tiezhu bit the food in his mouth, he didn't expect this bamboo insect to be meaty, and the more he chewed, the more fragrant it became, he opened his eyes in disbelief, "This, this insect actually smells of meat?!" ”
"Delicious, right?"
"It's delicious, it's delicious! Lady, you are really amazing! ”
Li Tiezhu caught a few more bamboo insects and ate them deliciously, his face was full of satisfaction, and he couldn't hide it.
Ye Xiaoying smiled, picked up the chopsticks on the side and began to eat.
Bamboo insects have a high nutritional value, and if you eat more, it is very beneficial to the body.
"Tiezhu, the bamboo forest in our backyard is very large, and there must be a lot of bamboo insects, so let's catch some bamboo insects after we finish eating, and send some to the surrounding villagers by the way, they haven't eaten meat for a long time." Ye Xiaoying suddenly proposed.
Li Tiezhu nodded, only feeling that he didn't know how many good things he had done in his previous life, so he had the current blessing to marry Ye Xiaoying.
"Well, okay, listen to you, lady, you can eat quickly, I'll go with you after eating!"
Zhou Lan was about to come in to find Li Tiezhu, but the roof in her house was leaking, so she wanted to ask Li Tiezhu to help fix it.
And as soon as she came in, she saw the two of them talking there, and they seemed to be very sweet, and her heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"Yo, eating!" Zhou Lan suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and said with a smile when she came in.
"Well, have you eaten?" Ye Xiaoying ignored Zhou Lan, but Li Tiezhu asked.
"Yes, but the roof of my house is leaking, so I want to ask Tiezhu for help...... May I? Zhou Lan took the opportunity to tell the reason why she came here.
Li Tiezhu had just promised that he would go to the bamboo forest behind him with the girl to catch bamboo insects after eating, but now Zhou Lan wanted to repair the roof with him.
Li Tiezhu didn't have the slightest embarrassment, and just wanted to refuse, Ye Xiaoying spoke up.
"Wait until you're done eating, let's go and help Sister Zhou repair the roof first, and we'll go together after you're done."
It's not the right time for Lan to come this week, she wants to see what kind of moth she's going to do!
Li Tiezhu is a well-known good person in the village, as long as everyone asks him to help, he will go wherever he can.
And Zhou Lan is their neighbor in the end, and it can't be said if she doesn't help.
So under Ye Xiaoying's urging, Li Tiezhu reluctantly went to Zhou Lan's house.
In Zhou Lan's house, Zhou Lan kept offering courtesy to Li Tiezhu, but Li Tiezhu refused them one by one.
No matter what Zhou Lan said, he only shirked and said that Ye Xiaoying was not allowed.
And Zhou Lan has always had contradictions with Ye Xiaoying, and now that Li Tiezhu rejects himself like this, his prejudice against her is even more profound.
Until Li Tiezhu repaired her roof, he immediately turned around and left without looking back, and Zhou Lan couldn't stop screaming.
"Lady, I'm back!" As soon as Li Tiezhu returned home, he shouted into the house.
"Do you want to take a break, are you tired?" Ye Xiaoying saw that he was so excited, so she teased.
Although she waited for a long time, Li Tiezhu went to Zhou Lan's house, she couldn't put her mind at ease, so she secretly climbed the wall and went to Zhou Lan's yard, knowing that he was very honest, but she was also a little puzzled while being satisfied.
What did Zhou Lan want to do? Last time, it was the rooster that flew into the yard, and this time it was to repair the roof, and he always came to Li Tiezhu for no reason, which is really weird!
But without waiting for her to think about it, Li Tiezhu touched his head and said with a smile.
"No need, I'm not tired at all, it's just a little work, let's go, let's go catch bamboo insects now."
He had just promised his mother to catch bamboo insects with her, and now it was time to go, and he remembered that the bamboo forest behind the house was very lush, and there must have been a lot of bamboo insects.
Ye Xiaoying replied with a smile, asked him to take the tools, and the two went to the bamboo forest together.
"Ah, look at this bamboo, it's full of bamboo spots, and there must be a lot of bamboo insects in it!"
Ye Xiaoying suddenly found a good bamboo shortly after entering, so she shouted out.
There are generally many spots on the bamboo where the bamboo insects are located, and these spots are a symbol of the bamboo disease, and it is these bamboo insects that cause the bamboo to get sick, because the nutrients they grow are the nutrients in the bamboo.
When Li Tiezhu heard this, he immediately stepped forward to check, he first exclaimed, and then waved the machete under Ye Xiaoying's urging.
Just one moment, the bamboo fell to the ground!
"Whew! Terrible! ”
Ye Xiaoying exclaimed, looking at the bamboo insect with white flowers at the fracture, she really admired Li Tiezhu's strength.
She had to cut a dozen or twenty times in the morning before she found a bamboo, and he ......
Forget it, there's no comparison!
Ye Xiaoying shook her head, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and beckoned Li Tiezhu to collect bamboo insects.
In this way, the two were busy until the evening, but looking at the slowly large pot of bamboo insects, the two looked at each other and smiled, simply packed up the tools and went home.
"Let's go and send some to Grandma first!"
Ye Xiaoying knew that her neighbor's grandmother hadn't eaten meat for a long time, she was a lonely old man at home, and there was no one to take care of her, and she often helped Li Tiezhu, which was really not easy.
And in normal times, if something happens to Li Tiezhu's family, she is always willing to come over to help.
Li Tiezhu nodded in agreement, so the two set off.
"Grandma, are you at home? Do you think I'll give you something good? As soon as Ye Xiaoying stepped into her grandmother's house, she shouted inside.
"It's ...... Bamboo insects? What are you giving me this? Grandma walked out quickly, she was well-informed, and it was not surprising that she knew about this thing, but she felt a little puzzled about Ye Xiaoying and his wife bringing it.
What else can this thing do but harm bamboo?
Ye Xiaoying smiled and patiently explained: "Grandma, the nutritional value of this bamboo insect is very high, wrap it in flour and then fry it, it is very fragrant, and it is good for the body, so I specially brought some to give you a taste." ”
"Oh, can this still be eaten?" Grandma's eyes widened in surprise, looking at the wriggling insects in the bag, and she was amazed.
"Of course, Grandma, you can just try to fry it, let's go first."
Ye Xiaoying didn't stay long, and then sent some bamboo insects to the people in the village.
Of course, most people can't accept the matter of eating insects, and some people refuse on the spot, Ye Xiaoying didn't care, turned around and left.
And some of the people who got the bamboo insect tried to do it, and after trying it, they all praised it again and again, "This insect tastes so delicious!" ”
So one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and people who had tasted bamboo insects were full of praise for it, which caused some other villagers who had refused to have itched in their hearts.
